World-Wide Wire UNICEF Awarded Nobel Peace Prize
OSLO—(UPI)—The United Nations Children's Fund UNICEF today was awarded the 1965 Nobel Peace Prize.
It was the second time a United Nations group has received the award and came one day after the 20th anniversary of the founding of the world body.
THE NOBEL COMMITTEE of the Norwegian National Assembly as usual gave no reasons for its choice, but the selection was by tradition unanimous.
It was understood that U.N. Secretary General Thant and Italian humanitarian Danilo Dolci were among those considered for the $54,500 award.
THE UNITED NATIONS group previously honored was the United Nations High Commission for Refugees which received the award in 1954.
UNICEF operates in more than 100 countries, mostly among the destitute in the world's emerging nations.
Cuban Refugee Influx Stalled
KEY WEST, Fla.—(UPI)—The bootleg traffic in Cuban refugees remained stalled by rough water in the Florida Straits today while federal officials worked on details for an "orderly" freedom airlift of exiles to America.
Havana Radio said more than 160 small boats were anchored at Camarioca, Cuba, waiting to pick up refugees, but none will be permitted to leave until weather conditions improve in the Straits. There have been no refugee landings here since Friday.
'Draft Dodger Ineffective'
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—The head of the nation's Selective Service System says that an attempted draft-evasion movement among young Americans has been "a complete flop."
Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey told UPI that while he is disturbed by the anti-draft demonstrations, he doesn't think they are likely to have any effect on future military manpower pools.
The 72-year-old general, who has headed the draft program since 1940, said in an interview, his "real concern is that some local boards may react to all this agitation by cancelling student deferments."
"I hope that won't happen," he added.
Johnson Looks Forward
JOHNSON CITY, Tex.—(UPI)—President Johnson, showing the healing effects of his stay at the LBJ Ranch, already is laying the groundwork to continue in 1966 his historic winning streak with Congress.
Pleased as he is with his triumphs with the 89th Congress,he believes he scored even higher marks in foreign affairs.
Humanities Lecturer to Talk On French and Drama Areas
The second of seven humanities lecturers began a three day visit on campus today.
Robert Champigny, research professor of French literature at Indiana University, will speak on "Dramatic Characters: Denatured Spirits" at 8 p.m. Tuesday at the University Theatre.
He will also speak to several French classes in French and to a speech class on the "Significance of the Drama." A graduate seminar will hear him talk about his book, "Genre Romanesque." Cerule Francais and Pi Delta Phi, French honor society, will also listen to the lecturer.
A lecture on "The Drama and Human Experience" will be given at 4 p.m. Wednesday at the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
A French-born scholar, Champigny specializes in the "far out" or "avant garde" French theater and novel, including writers like Sartre, Ionesco, and Jean Tardieu.
The main Tuesday night lecture
will be followed with a reception at the Faculty Club.
"University Theatre seats 1-200," Elmer F. Beth, professor of journalism and humanities chairman, said, "so we have plenty of room for the main lecture and a large parking lot across the street."
Champigny moved to the United States in 1950. Since that time, he has been a member of the French Department at Indiana University where he was appointed research professor in 1964. He was recipient of a Ford fellowship in 1955-56.
Champigny is married and has 12 children, all of whom are girls. His favorite pastimes are cycling and writing.
HIS POETIC PUBLICATIONS include collections of poems and a modern epic. As a writer of prose, he has published articles in American, British and French journals, monographs on Alain Fournier, Sartre and a character
of Camus, and three essays in genre theory.
He has also shown interest in the novel, in poetry, and in drama, with special emphasis given to 20th Century French Theater. Presently, he is assembling an ontological essay.
Champigny says he likes to approach literature philosophically; conversely, he considers the philosophical essay as a literary genre.
