ASC Halts—
(Continued from page 1)
Rogers asked representatives from the unmarried-unorganized district to meet with him to consider and possibly remedy the situation.
DAVE LUTTON, Pope AFB, N.C., junior, reported on the findings of a committee looking into the telephone situation in the large residence halls.
Lutton said the committee found two problems:
1. Lack of speed in the communication system.
2. No service, except pay phones, after closing hours in women's balls and after 11 p.m. in the men's.
Lutton said the committee has suggested either more lines, individual phones, or plug-in phones in the lounge areas. The first two are impossible at present, he said, because of the expense. The second might be possible, but would only alleviate the situation in service after hours.
Bob Stewart also announced appointments to two executive committees. They are: Traditions Committee, Les Linscott, Topeka freshman; Ron Sable, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore; Charles Waldron, Kansas City, Mo., freshman; John Beck, Kansas City sophomore; Joseph Waeckerle, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, and Marian Bills, Clifton junior; and Student Advisory Board, Bruce Bikales, Prairie Village senior.
These appointments must be ratified by the Council at its next regular meeting.
Frosh Voting Today On Class Officers
KU Freshmen are voting for their class officers as they vote in the All Student Council living group election today and tomorrow.
The following students are candidates for the following freshman class offices:
Vice President: Jim Keller, Russell; Cash Miller, Wichita; Steve Morgan. Wichita.
President: Dick Elliott, Shawnee Mission; Thomas Rader, Greensburg; Larry Van Epps, Portage, Wis.
Secretary; Barbara Langbehn,
Belleville, Ill.; Vickie Peck, Overland Park; Jan Rogers, Shawnee Mission.
Treasurer; Dave Braun, Kansas City, Mo.; George C. Carter, Great Bend; Jane Christmann, Wamego
One unaffiliated candidate for the All Student Council is on the ballots in the ASC living group election.
Carl Bangs, Prairie Village junior, is a candidate in the Professional Fraternity and Co-op district. Conrad Wagenknecht, UP, is his only opponent, since Vox is running no candidate in this district.
Wagenknecht ran in the same district on the Vox ticket last fall, and was defeated by the UP candidate by two votes.
BANGS GAVE three reasons why he is running independent of a party label. These were, "I don't think
there's any point in party politics instudent government. Parties aren't very popular in this district. I don't agree with Bob Stewart's statement that student government should not tell the KU administration what to do."
Bangs said the leadership of the ASC has avoided the civil rights controversy.
Another unaffiliated candidate for the ASC is Walter Bgoya, Tanganyika senior, who is waging a write-in campaign for re-election in the Unmarried and Unaffiliated district.
Bgoya was elected to the ASC last fall by a write-in campaign from the same district.
BGOYA SAID, "I decided to run again because I believe strongly that student government must take an active role on campus. I disagree with Bob Stewart's statement that the ASC can't urge the administration to do something."
"If the ASC is only going to be a mouthpiece for the administration there is no need for the ASC," said Bgova.
Bgoya said the KU administration should stop taking a neutral stand on civil rights, and start supporting the students working in the civil rights movement.
SAIGON — (UPI)— Political strife, a strike by rice workers and more violent weather today threatened the progress of the anti-Communist war in South Viet Nam.
Politics, Strikes, Weather Hinder Anti-Red South Viet Nam War
The powerful High National Council, the legislative body which has the power to make or break the country's new civilian government sharply criticized the administration in a communique issued last night.
Three thousand dockworkers in Saigon were on strike, demanding a 40 per cent increase in basic salaries. The workers were all involved in hauling rice, this nation's main food.
TWIN TYPHOONS AND unusually heavy monsoon rains have left a 200-mile long trail of disaster through South Viet Nam's midsection. At least one million Vietnamese are homeless and without food because of the devastation. American aircraft and crews are tied up in relief operations.
The 15-member High National Council held a day-long session discussing the policies of the government headed by Prime Minister Tran Van Huong.
Caesar to Be Topic At Humanities Talk
How one of the great leaders of the Western World became a dictator will be the subject of the next Humanities Series lecture, Tuesday Nov. 17.
William C. McDermott, professor of classical studies at the University of Pennsylvania, will speak on "Caesar—The Anatomy of a Dictatorship." The lecture will be at 8 p.m. in Fraser theater, and an informal reception by the Faculty Club will follow.
During his three-day visit to the KU campus, Prof. McDermott will give two other public lectures. At 4 p.m. on Monday he will speak on "The Classics and Other Disciplines" in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union; the coffee-forum program is being arranged by Stu-Union Activities. Dr. McDermott will discuss the relationship between the classies and history, philosophy, and literature.
That same evening, at 7:30 p.m. in Room 306 of the Kansas Union, he will speak on "Roman Campaigning for Election." That program, and the informal dinner which will precede it, are being arranged by the Kansas chapter of the Archaeological Institute of America.
PROF MCDERMOTT WILL ALSO speak to classes in Latin, Hellenistic History, and History of the Ancient Near East, and will meet with classics majors and faculty members in Wilcox Museum in Fraser Hall at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday to discuss Latin inscriptions.
The visiting scholar received the B.A. in Latin and Greek from Dickinson College, and the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in classical archaeology from Johns Hopkins University. He has taught at Lehigh University
and in summer programs at Michigan and Kansas. He has been on the Pennsylvania faculty since 1939 and has been chairman of the graduate program in classical studies since 1952.
Besides publishing many articles and reviews in learned journals, he is author of three books: "The Ape in Antiquity," "Gregory of Tours," and "Readings in the History of the Ancient World." He currently is writing a book dealing with politics in the age of Cicero.
Because of the difficult parking situation on campus, lecture-goers are advised to park in Lot Y, one-half block south of the KU smoke-stack and board a free shuttle bus to Fraser Hall. The bus will return to the lot afterwards.
"There has never been any unity of mind between the council and the government regarding the composition of the cabinet," the communique said.
Anderson said he had not received such a manifesto and added, "I think things should kind of go to sleep like they did in 1936," when Alf Landon was defeated by the late Franklin D. Roosevelt.
THE ISSUE REVOLVES around Huong's decision to appoint technicians instead of politicians to his cabinet when he took over the reins of government. The action enraged some elements of the complex Vietnamese political structure.
It has been rumored that an aide for former Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge has distributed a manifesto to Republican governors outlining proposed changes in the party.
VIETNAMESE STUDENTS have threatened to stage street demonstrations against the government.
In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Do Xuan Hanh, secretary general of the powerful Saigon Students Union, said today the war must be extended into Communist North Viet Nam.
THE PORT STRIKE IN Saigon seriously affected the flow of rice from river docks to warehouses. A spokesman for the ministry of labor said the government is studying the workers' request for more money. They now receive about three cents for every sack of rice carried.
The weather havoc was produced by nine consecutive days of heavy rain. There was no let up in sight. The two typhoons, striking in rapid succession, laid waste to several provinces.

Leadership in both parties was reduced on the state level, he said, and shifted to the national level more than a generation ago. He said both parties should give equalization to leadership on the state level.
