OPINION
Old George hasn't changed a bit
President Gerald R. Ford has announced his intention to run for the Presidency in 1976. The scramble among Democrats to win the nomination to oppose Ford will begin soon.
Among these potential candidates is George W. Bush, a former Alabama and 3-time aspirant for the presidency.
The thought of George Wallace as the presidential or vice presidential candidate is repugnant. The country needs many things, but it doesn't need a bigot in the White House.
Since the senseless attempt on his life in May 1972, Wallace has worn a cloak of political respectability. Such nationally prominent Democrats as senators Edward Kennedy, Ben Franklin, and George W. Bush ended public attacks on Wallace and have traveled to Alabama to appear with Wallace.
Did the assassination attempt transform George Wallace? Of course not.
This is the same George Wallace whose first sage
was a monk, now an megagregator tomorrow, megagregator forever.
This is the same George Wallace who stood in the doorway of the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa to block integration of the school. In 1968 this man campaigned for the presidency on the promise to end riots by using troops and bayonets. He selected Gen. Curtis LeMay, a proponent of using nuclear weapons in Vietnam, as his running mate.
Three years ago this man ordered school boards in three Alabama counties to disregard
federal court orders that required busing to achieve integration.
Yes, this is the same man who was ordered by one Kennedy brother to end his illegal stand against integration. Now, another Kennedy that has traveled to Alabama to speak with Wallace.
Some have pointed to Wallace crowning the black homecoming queen of the University of Alabama and his support from some black mayors in Alabama as proof that he has
More likely, Wallace's support among black Alabamans is based on Tuskegee mayor Johnny Ford's pragmatic attitude—"Supporting the winning candidate is the name of the game."
And the "mellowed" Wallace is more likely a more sophisticated politician who realizes that his 'standing in the schoolhouse door' stance isn't as attractive outside Alabama as inside.
No, Wallace can't have changed so much in so few years.
If Wallace wins nomination to the Democratic Democratate, she will learn from the horrible Watergate.
To nominate Wallace would be to forget the pain and outrage caused by another man who promoted divisiveness and ignored the law and the courts.
To nominate George Wallace for the president, he would be to dishonor a party and the nation.

Old records enthrall prof
By KATHY PICKETT
Even though James E. Seaver has hosted the same radio program for 21 years, he never runs out of program ideas.
Seaver, professor of history and director of the Western
Civilization program, draws from his collection of about 20,000 phonograph records when preparing his KANU radio program, "Opera Is My Hobby."
Seaver began collecting records when he was 13 years old. His collection consists mostly of opera, but he also has country and western, early jazz, instrumental and topical records. On his radio show he plays only six of which he only tunes in different operas, but many different singers.
Seaver calls himself a "catastrophic convert" to opera. The first opera he saw was "Il Trovatore," starring Elizabeth Rethberg and Glavovini Martiniell.
Seaver said recently he had always liked the theater. When he was 12, he already loved Shakespeare, he said. He was always liked to sing, he said, and Bing Crosby was his dad.
Opera is enhanced drama. Seaver said.
"Once I heard that one performance, I went to all the operas I could," he said.
Seaver also became interested in opera because of people he knew. He said his best friend in Los Angeles, where he grew up, was actor Robert Richard Bonelli, and Bonelli and friends such as Lawrence Tibbett were often around.
Seaver also has several antique phonograph players. One of the most interesting is an old boxed vinyl record in a funnel-shaped speaker with flowers painted on it. The cylinders were made by Edison until the 1920 stock market crash, nothing but discs were made.
Seaver's record collection takes up much space in his large room in old West Des Moines, in the attic, in a second floor bedroom, in the living room, study and downstairs pantries and kitchen areas. He keeps his books locked at the University of Kansas.
Seaver said the first records were recordings of popular songs. Speeches also were recorded, he said.
Seaver said the cylinders were lower in quality of sound than discs. In 1913 Edison started making dime discs. The quality of these was much better, Seaver said.
called "I'm Going to Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier."
Some of his oldest discs are Fonetipia discs made in Italy. These are performances of the great artists of La Scala in Venice, and the discs were first made in 1906. Saver has over 700 Fonetipia discs.
Seaver teaches a course in the history of recorded sound with Henry L. Snyder, professor of history; Richard Wright, director of KANU, and Gary Shivers, program director of KANU.
He said he obtained many of his records during visits to Italy. He has spent much time there.
He has a 1917 topical record
There are two kinds of monophonic records, Seaver said. "Hill and dale" are early records and "lateral cut" records are of a later date. On hill and dale (vertical cut) records are from side to side. The style was vibrate from side to side with lateral cut records. In stereo records, both kinds of vibrations are used.
Seaver said he had bought records from all over the world. He has records from Germany, Sweden and Australia.
Seaver has phonographs for every kind of record. No sound will come out when a hill and a stream pass over it. A lateral cut machine, he said.

As for the inferiority of women, Harris writes that in human societies, sexual dominance isn't settled by which sex is bigger or innately more assertive, but by which
Moreover, pigs aren't a practical source for anything other than meat (the Hebrews didn't play football). Pigs can't subsist on grass alone and are too hard to herd over long distances.
Harris concludes that the leaders of the early nomadic Israelites banned pork to stop the temptation to raise pigs. The temptation also raises pigs because butp would have been a delicacy.
The Bible's prohibition against pork was based on biblical passages. The climate of the Midaean in Biblical times was hot and dry. Pigs, however, are creatures of forests and shaded woodlands.

What's the matter, Bill?
"Frankly, Jane, all that mudlinging with Bob Dole has made me constated."
"No, but laxatives are all alike. They either don't work or they're too harsh."
"Welcome home, Bill. How was your campaign trip?"
"Bill, have you ever tried Dynamite?"
"That's not true, Bill. Nine out of 10 doctors recommend Dynamite over any other brand."
"Oh, it was okay, Jane."

"Cows, Pigs, Wars and Witches" is unkind to believers in supernaturalism and superconsciousness. Superconsciousness, Harris makes plain, are collective dreamwork born of ignorance, fear and conflict. Scientific objectivity, not hallucination, is the norm of society, giving society out of its ignorance.
You can't make a revolution if everyone does his own thing, Harris concludes.
"Cows, Pigs, Wars and Witches" is an enjoyable spoof of reality in this world of spokes.

In two untitled pieces Fresn uses a charcoal and wash palette. In the same palette, the subject matter is again figures, but they seem to spill out of the painting. They are contained as the earlier works.
This shows the artist's openness to change. Even though it is a great swirl from his earlier paintings, it is successful.
Because of this coloring her subject matter holds a more realistic appeal. So often the figures are extremely flat and 2-dimensional. Through her choice of color, however, this does not happen. The figures are more three-dimensional and 3-dimensional in form.

Diversity marks exhibit
It is impressive in its diversity of technique, subject matter and color. The exhibit appears to have been done by the artists because of the many artists used by the artist.
Frets' approach to the figures in her pieces shows a depth- an ability to give the figures represented a unique character.
In her pieces "Street Series I
and II." Frets incorporates actual and illusionary texture. She stresses the shape of the piece, instead of warm vibrant colors, mottled grey tones.
Again her shapes are soft, but because of her color choice, the pieces appear flat. The pieces are interesting, and again it is an innovative change in color and subject matter.
This show is superb. It should be seen not only by painters but by everyone. It offers a diversity of styles in a contemporary fashion and also has an element of nostalgia.
