Dual Themes Are Planned for Homecoming
By Walt Jayroe
KU's 1965 Homecoming will have two themes according to Dick Wintermote, homecoming committee co-chairman. The major theme will be "The Homecoming of the Century," relating to KU's centennial anniversary.
Wintermote said a second theme will be added so groups wishing to exhibit decorations would have something more tangible to work with.
ONE OF THE highlights of homecoming weekend Oct. 29-30, will be the crowning of the homecoming queen between halves of the KU-K-State football game Saturday afternoon.
The queen and her two attendants will be selected by student vote. Students will make their selections from six finalists chosen from all the nominees by
Student voting will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 22 at the Information Booth and at the Homecoming Dance that evening.
judges representing both faculty and Lawrence citizens.
NOMINATIONS FOR queen candidates are being taken now. Entry blanks must be filled out and returned to the Dean of Women's Office no later than 5 p.m., Oct. 5.
Each organized women's house may nominate one candidate, except Ellsworth and Hashinger Halls, which may nominate three candidates each. Any woman who is not a member of an organized house may have her name placed in candidacy by submitting a petition signed by 75 students.
Each nominee must have completed at least two
semesters at KU, must be a regularly enrolled undergraduate student for the fall semester of 1965, must be single, and must have at least a 1.00 grade average.
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS of homecoming weekend will be the Robert Goulet concert to be held at 8 p.m. Saturday in Allen Field House, the viewing of Homecoming house decorations from 5 to 11 p.m. Friday, the University Theatre production of "My Fair Lady" at 8:30 p.m. Friday in Murphy Hall (student ID's and season tickets do not admit to this performance), and the KU-K-State freshman football game at 2:30 p.m. Friday.
Plans are yet incomplete for the pre-homecoming dance which is being scheduled for Oct. 22.
Winternote explained other information will be forthcoming after the Homecoming Committee meeting next week.
Mellow Soviet Exterior May Hide Inner Views
By Irvana Keagy
Although outward appearances indicate the Soviet Union is becoming more lax in its enforcement of strict Communist rule, at least one KU professor believes there is still definite cause for concern.
Roy D. Laird, associate professor of political science in Soviet studies, said that in the not too distant future, Leonid I. Brezhnev, Russia's Communist party chief, and Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin may be replaced by a "new team and most probably by a single figure who will be able to satisfy the demand in the system for strong leadership."
Laird attributes his suspicions to several "negative trends" beginning in 1957 and 1958.
Agricultural and industrial production has been slowing down.
- Moscow is losing command and position in the Communist world.
Before his retirement, former Premier Nikita Khruchev's personality began "grating" on his colleagues' nerves.
The Soviet press is stepping up propaganda measures against the United States.
The most recent turn is the replacement of the editor of the official government paper, Pravda, with a more conservative party member.
Laird feels that trends indicate a move to strengthen the hard line of conservative Communist rule.
"I believe most of my colleagues would say the Soviet Union shows tendencies of becoming more liberal, however I tend to be less optimistic. At least, it should be raised that internal and external activities indicate that the next leader must be more intransigent than Khrushchev in both domestic and international affairs," Laird said.
"Khrushevhe was a great improvement over Stalin, but he was not given a chance to solve the problems given with the legacy of Stalin's rule. So he was kicked out of office.
"Brezhnev and Kosygin were put in an interim leadership to share, they thought permanently, the spotlight. Even if they had improved agriculture and industry,

Carl Oglesby, national president of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), will present his views on the Viet Nam crisis here this year, it was announced at a KU chapter meeting of the organization last night.
Oglesby is the author of "The Viet Nam War: World Revolution and American Containment," a document highly critical of the State Department white paper that was issued in February. He also is known for his role as a principal organizer of the April 17 march on Washington at which over 25,000 students rallied to protest the Viet Nam effort.
A DATE HAS not been set for the appearance. Oglesby is scheduled to appear at the University of Oklahoma on Oct. 15, and SDS representatives expect him to visit KU within a day or two of that date.
Friday, Sept. 24, 1965
Don Olson, San Diego sophomore, coordinating the Oglesby appearance, said, "We are truly pleased that he can come. He is an excellent speaker with a thorough command of his subject. Any students who wish to inform themselves on the Viet Nam crisis will profit from his speech, whether
they agree or disagree with his opinion."
OLSON POINTED out that the address is calculated to correspond with a taped broadcast of the International Teach-In on Viet Nam, being held in Toronto, Canada, Oct. 9. A temporary student-faculty committee at KU plans to play the tau in the Union Oct. 15.
Weather
IN OTHER BUSINESS. SDS members voted to study two possible "action programs" for the coming school year.
Fair but unseasonably cool weather will continue through Saturday according to the United States weather bureau. With a slight warming trend, Saturday's highs will be in the 60's. The low tonight will be near 40. Winds will remain northerly at 5 to 15 miles per hour.
Douglas Ruhe was named as chairman of a committee to look into the feasibility of basing a protest against the House Un-American Activities Committee on this campus. "There is more potential on the student left to bring pressure on HUAC than ever before. KU-SDS would do well to take the initiative in the Midwest," Ruhe said.
Olson was appointed to head a committee to study the University's policy in loco parentis (the University's parental authority over students). Olson said particular attention would be given to the matter of unequal treatment for men and women.
Dad's Ascent to Bench Thrills Younger Kauls
By Maury Breecher
The Kauls were a family of thrilled Jayhawkers Thursday.
Judge Robert H. Kaul, who was appointed Thursday to the Kansas Supreme Court by Gov. William A. Avery, was graduated from KU's law school in 1935.
Mrs. Kaul, the former Margaret Zurn, was graduated in 1936 with an A.B. degree in English.
"We ARE VERY thrilled to learn of Dad's appointment," said Fred Kaul. "We feel that he is highly qualified and will serve the people of Kansas well in his position as Justice on our Supreme Court."
Their son, Fred Kaul, a 1962 graduate, is an IBM systems engineer living in Shawnee Mission. And the younger Mrs. Kaul, formerly Karen J. Gordon, graduated from the School of Education in 1963.
The two generations of Jayhawkers, although separated by the miles between Wamego and Shawnee Mission, were united in spirit last night.
In reference to his KU family he said, "We hope that we will have a third generation of KU graduates."
JUSTICE KAUL continues to have an active interest in KU. Both he and his wife are life members of the KU alumni association. His son and daughter-in-law are working on their life membership also.
THE JUSTICE was one of the three judges of KU's Moot Court, during Law Day in 1959. "I think it is excellent," commented Justice Kaul, in reference to the law school of today. "I have been greatly impressed with the law school's intern program which I feel is a very fine beneficial one."
The Justice said that the intern program in which the law school assigns a senior law student to one of the District Courts is valuable experience.
During his years at KU the Justice was a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and was elected to the Inter-fraternal council. His wife was a member of Gamma Phi Beta.
