Lindsay's Win Surprise to New Yorkers, KU
Compiled by United Press International and the Daily Kansan—
The election of John V. Lindsay as mayor of New York was received with some surprise and was viewed as a liberal Republican victory by KU students and professors.
Most students, when asked their opinion of the outcome, either did not know of the victory, or did not know of the election. Some, however, expressed their views on the victory:
BOB MINER, GREAT Bend junior and president of the Collegeiate Young Republicans, said: "It's a great victory for the Republican Party nationally." He added that it will help to create a more positive image of the party across the nation.
According to Herman D. Lujan, assistant professor of political science, Lindsay's victory is "a clear indication that the old-style political machine is going by the wavside."
Lujan said "A new kind of popular city politics is replacing machine politics. The candidate must take a liberal position—as did Scranton and Rockefeller, and now Lindsay."

IT IS TOO EARLY to talk about Lindsay as a 1968 President candidate, Lujan said, "but liberal Republicans now have a national figure they can turn to—if they want."
Inge Talks Theater To Future Thespians
William Inge, Pulitzer Prize winning playwright and KU graduate, spoke to theater students and faculty yesterday on the American theater.
Inge felt current trend toward repertory theater companies must continue if the theater is to thrive.
"THE THEATER must become a national theater and not just a Broadway theater." Inge said.
The author also said theater audiences are hard to draw. "People don't like to lead planned lives." Inge said. "They feel no need to go to the theater when they can sit at home and watch television."
The author also said theater audiences are hard to draw.
INGE, WHO is working on a new play entitled "Where's Daddy," said the author and the director of a play must work closely together for a play to be successful.
"A director can be compared to a conductor in that both have a score in front of them that must be learned," he added. "The director must have the same feeling of oneness with the script that the author has."
John G. Grumm, associate professor of political science, said he was a bit surprised at the Lindsay victory in view of Bobby Kennedy and LBJ's support of Beame.
"This is another repudiation of the conservative wing of the Republican party and a moral victory for the liberal side," said Grumm.
GRUMM, WHO agreed with Lujan, said it is an indication that the liberal candidate is preferred.
Grumm said he could not tell what Lindsay's chances are in the national scene. "I don't think he can go directly from mayor to the presidential nomination. It might be a stepping stone to the vice-presidential nomination or to the post of governor in New York."
A near-record turnout of more than 2.5 million voters enabled Lindsay to defeat Democratic city comptroller Abraham D. Beame by the closest margin in history to become the first Republican mayor since Fiorello LaGuardia.

... successful bid
LINDSAY, A youthful anti-
Goldwater Republican, turned out an entrenched Democratic regime which blamed its defeat on a large Conservative vote.
Ironically, it may have been William F. Buckley-candidate of the Conservative party which Lindsay said was out to "destroy" him—who made election of the liberal congressman possible.
Buckley, an articulate, millionaire editor who supported Goldwater's presidential bid, ran a distant third. But in doing so he captured sizable votes in Irish Catholic and Italian districts which were traditionally Democratic.
BEAME, A JEWISH bookkeeper and long-time regular in the city Democratic organization, said in his concession, "the main factor

in this defeat is what I always thought—Mr. Buckley."
Beame was endorsed by President Johnson and received active support from Sen. Robert F. Kennedy in his campaign.
Lindsay was backed by Republicans, the Liberal party and Democratic splinter groups. He charged the Democrats, in power since LaGuardia left office in 1945, with failure to solve a multitude of urban problems, such as crime, pollution, traffic congestion, racial tension and near bankruptcy.
Lindsay gave the GOP its biggest lift since Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower returned from Paris by proving today that the Democrats could be turned out of city hall in New York.
Attorney General Saves
ClubLawsNotFullSolution
By Irvana Keagy
The new private club laws in Kansas will not resolve the controversy over the Kansas liquor laws, but will cause more friction among legislators. Robert C. Londerholm, attorney general of Kansas, told KU-Collegiate Young Republicans Tuesday night.
"The new laws, passed by the 1965 Kansas legislature on the final session day, represent a compromise between conflicting viewpoints in a highly sensitive area of government regulation," Londerholm said.
"IT IS INEVITABLE that future legislators will clash over whether present liquor laws should be made more restrictive or more liberal than they are today," he continued.
Londerholm also outlined the history of the Kansas liquor laws. He said that the two main points in the legislation are that no drinking is to be allowed in a public place and there can be no sale of liquor by the drink.
He added that the discrepancy in the law arose over the defini-
O'Neill Now Poor
Mike O'Neill, Fort Lewis, Washington, sophomore, is listed in poor condition and under continuing intensive care today at the KU Medical Center.
O'Neill suffered head and internal injuries in a one-car accident Oct. 16. He was listed as fair Monday for the first time since the accident occurred.
A blood drive was conducted for O'Neill by residents of his campus living group, Templin Hall, last week.
At first these "private clubs" were organizations like the Elks Lodge and American Legion, but in time other clubs were established for the purpose of selling drinks to its members, he said.
LONDERHOLM cited the example of owners of small taverns placing a small card in their front window, designating them private clubs, and selling 50 cent memberships to anyone who wanted to buy a drink.
From the misuse of the "private club" designation and the diffi-
culity in enforcing the restriction of minors, some city governments have enacted their own laws concerning private clubs, Londerholm said.
tion of a public place and resulted in private clubs serving drinks to their members.
Londerholm said this situation has caused the private club laws to be criticized for "unlawful discrimination.
"The younger members of the legislature are more liberal," he said. They realize the clubs are going to exist, and they want to regulate them, but the other faction takes the philosophy that the best way to do away with the problem is to ignore it, Londerholm said.
Outstanding junior and senior high school women will arrive Nov. 6 for KU High School Leadership Day.
