Dean Taylor Spends Holiday in the Near East
By Susan Hartley
Taking a vacation at Christmas instead of in the summer, Emily Taylor. Dean of Women, returned last week from the Near East.
Karlene Howell, Assistant to the Dean of Women, accompanied her.
Visiting new places, buying treasures to bring home, and meeting the parents living abroad of KU students, were the high points of the trip which began Dec. 11. The purchases have not yet made the return trip, however, and will not arrive for some time.
"We hope the things arrive in good shape, and fairly soon," Dean Taylor said today. "We watched some of the things be wrapped for shipping, so are confident that they will arrive in good shape. Other things are just wrapped in paper and sent off. The surprising thing is that sometimes they get through unharmed."
The temple of Abu-Sinbul, located on the Nile River, 150 miles from
Cairo, Egypt, was one of the first stops made on the trip. In its present location, the temple would be covered by the waters of the nearly completed Aswan Dam, so it is being dismantled, block by block, in the opposite manner from which it was built by Ramses II several thousand years ago, and moved up the hill.
"ALL OVER EGYPT there are signs and collection bowls up in a campaign to save the Temple," Dean Taylor said. "We even found one in London, England, when we arrived there."
"The main things you could see on the boat trip up the Nile River were deserted villages, for the residents have been evacuated to prepare for the filling of the dam." Dean Taylor said. "The land opened up for cultivation as a result of the irrigation water, will be divided up into small holdings for the people, and will be vastly more fertile than the land they farmed before," she said.
"The temple was surrounded by scaffolds in preparation for its move, and it won't be a tourist attraction until it is relocated." Dean Taylor said. "Workmen believe that they have seven months left in which to move the temple."
"Egypt was the first stop on our trip, and it was so different from what we had seen before that we were really impressed," she said. "There is a marked contrast between the people and culture of the villages, where the people live and dress as they have for centuries, and the cities, where the business people dress in western attire."
"FOR INSTANCE, in Luxor, all the transportation is by horse drawn carriages, and all the people dress in long flowing robes," she said.
From Egypt, Dean Taylor and Miss Howell flew to Jerusalem, where they visited many of the his-
toriums. They met the "Many of these hotels, we set
"Many of these locations are so
merely by tradition, others have been more definitely located due to excavation." Dean Taylor said. "Our guides were very well informed on the exact source of the location, as many of them were required to take a test over the history of the area and its landmarks were being licensed by the government."
"Many of the landmarks have had basilicas and churches built over them, so it was difficult to visualize them as they actually had been." Dean Taylor said. "Other places were left in their natural setting, and they seemed very real."
WHILE WE WERE in Jerusalem we got a letter from Pam Allen's parents inviting us to spend Christmas with them in Ankara, Turkey." Dean Taylor said. Pam is a senior from New York City.
"There are no church buildings in Ankara, only mosques. The embassies may hold church services, but they are not allowed to build chapels," Dean Taylor said. "Ankara is not a large tourist attraction because it is located in the center of Turkey in Asia Minor. It is fairly modern, and you very seldom see fezzes, turbans or veils worn, for they were outlawed by Ataturk, a progressive ruler," she said.
"Ataturt refused to allow the people to speak Arabic, and was responsible for establishing the Turkish language," Dean Taylor said. "It is said he even went into the villages and taught it to the people themselves. His tomb is one of the most modern structures in the city."
Pre-Inauguration Festivities Include Parties Honoring Hubert Humphrey, 47 Governors
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — VicePresident-Elect Hubert H. Humphrey and 47 governors shared the spotlight today at inaugural festivities which will reach a climax tomorrow with the swearing-in of President Johnson.
Today's semi-final events included a reception for governors, a huge party for Humphrey, a dance for Young Democrats, and an inaugural concert at Constitution Hall.
Also on the program were a breakfast for Democratic governors, a meeting of the Democratic National Committee, and dozens of state society dinners and cocktail parties.
Although Republicans generally had that left-out feeling, GOP governors were included among the 47 state chief executives who were honored at the reception.
THE GOVERNORS of Wisconsin, New Mexico and South Dakota were unable to attend, but sent representatives.
Inundated by visitors from every part of the nation, Washington had the slightly frenzied atmosphere of a city which suddenly discovers that it
Humphrey and his wife, Muriel,
were taking their bows at a late afternoon party in the Shoreham Hotel ballroom, attended by everybody who is anybody in Democratic politics.
"When we were in Rome, we were invited out to supper by Col. and Mrs. Fusco, the parents of Carol Fusco, and her brother, a student at Munich, Germany, showed us the town," Dean Taylor said. "He gave us the best tour on our trip." Carol is a senior from New York City.
The state executive council is composed of the state officers and representatives from each Kansas college with a CYD chapter.
KUCYDMap Young Demo State Meeting
The Executive Council of the Kansas Collegiate Young Democrats Executive Council met here last Saturday to organize the CYD state convention.
Bob Van Cleave, Kansas City junior and KU CYD publicity chairman, said representatives from Kansas State University, Washburn University, Wichita State University, Sterling College, Southwestern College, and KU were among the 30 to 35 persons that attended the meeting.
The state convention will be held in Kansas City in March or April to elect new state officers. It will coincide with the Young Democrats state convention which is being held at the same place.
The KU CYD has the maximum number of votes allowed to any college club at the convention.
The next executive council meeting will be Feb.13 at Kansas State University.
The Collegiate Young Democrats have a certain number of votes in the convention of the Young Democrats, the parent organization.
has booked a political convention during the same weeks as the Mardi Gras. Hotels were filled to the broom closets, taxis were hard to find, and it was easier to get a cabinet appointment than a table in a good restaurant.
THE THREE-DAY BLOWOUT began yesterday with a reception for 7,000 "distinguished ladies" amid the marble fountains of the National Gallery of Art, a handsome building donated to the nation by Republican treasury secretary Andrew Mellon, who had no idea of the use to which it would someday be put.
Lady Bird Johnson was the big attraction at the reception. She wore what female reporters described as a "holiday red textured silk afternoon dress." Some of the 7,000 ladies who took part in the genteel shoving-match were distinguished for their contributions to the arts and public life. Others were distinguished for their husband's contributions to the Democratic party.
President Johnson got into the inaugural swing last night. His first scheduled inaugural appearance was to be at the gala, a sort of super variety show, at the National Guard Armory. But Johnson first paid brief visits to a $1,000-a-plate President's dinner at the Shoreham Hotel and then went to the Sheraton Park Hotel where Texas members of the President's Club were celebrating.
THE PRESIDENT showed up 34 minutes late at the gala, but the 11,-000 cheering Democrats on hand couldn't have cared less. They refused repeated appeals to be seated and clear the aisles until the public address announcer warned that Johnson would not enter unless everyone was seated.
That worked. And to the booming strains of "Hail to the Chief," the President and Mrs. Johnson made their entrance followed by the Vice-President-Elect and Mrs. Humphrey.
Tomorrow is the big day. The official inaugural ceremony at which the President and Vice-President take the oaths of office prescribed by
