SLAP ON THE GLUE, BETTY LOU—Performing an ancient Homecoming rite, the women of Lewis Hall build a paper mache elephant as one of the many "circus day" theme decorations. When completed, this baby elephant's mom will be 23-feet long and "trunking a Husker" at the command of a Jayhawk.
Homecoming Decorations Activate 3-Ring Circus
Nearly every act in the circus will be represented in the Homecoming decorations across campus. Daredevil acts, strong men, caged animals, merry go rounds, concession stands, and monkey grinders were well mixed in among the ideas of the various campus living groups entering the decorations competition.
The trophies will be on display today in the display case in the lobbv of the Kansas Union. The decoration judging will be tomorrow night between 6:30 and 10:30.

A grand prize traveling trophy, initiated this year, will be the top prize for the decoration competition. Other prizes will include first, second, and third place trophies in the following four divisions: men's, women's, fraternity, and sorority.
While the judging is being completed, the large residence halls on Engel Road will light their windows in a Beat NIJ slogan.

Lewis Hall's decorations feature a 23-foot elephant sitting on a stool with a Cornhusker wrapped in his trunk. A Jayhawk ringmaster and a baby elephant complete the scene of "Jayhawkers Trunk the Huskers."

"The Huskers go down with the greatest of ease, for the daring young hawk on his Daddy's trapeze" is the theme of the Sigma Chi display. A baby Jayhawk swings on a trapeze hanging from his Daddy's 40-foot outstretched wing, knocking over a Husker with every forward motion of the swing.

62nd Year, No. 35
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Thursday, Nov. 5, 1964
Miller said he does not feel the Republican defeat means the voters repudiated the conservative philosophy.
Republicans Agree They Disagree About Election
Bulletin
BOISE, Idaho—(UPI)—Gov. Robert E. Smyllie of Idaho today put forth the name of retiring Gov. John Anderson of Kansas as a candidate to succeed Dean Burch as GOP National Chairman.
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Republican Moderates and Conservatives were in agreement today only on the fact that they disagreed on what the Democratic landslide election victory means to the GOP.
The Conservatives said President Johnson's victory was only a temporary setback. The Moderates argued that it proved Sen. Barry M. Goldwater's philosophy was out of step with the times.
He also attacked John B. Martin, Republican National Committeeman from Michigan, for demanding that National Chairman Dean Burch resign in the wake of the defeat.
Goldwater himself said all the election showed was that it would take "longer than we thought" to put the Conservatives in power. He told a news conference yesterday that the Conservative cause had not been hurt by the Johnson victory. More than 25 million persons voted for the GOP ticket, Goldwater noted, and "that's a lot of votes." But he indicated that he expected the Moderate wing to battle him for party leadership.
WILLIAM E. MILLER, the GOP vice-presidential candidate, echoed some of Goldwater's statements.
MILLER SAID if Martin "had done things our way, we might have done better."
But Liberal Sen. Clifford P. Case.
The weather bureau predicts cloudy skies through Friday with winds reaching five to ten miles an hour tonight. The overnight low should drop to about 50 degrees.

R-NJ., said the defeat will mean the end of the Goldwater leadership. "I don't think the party will follow him." Case said when asked today what would happen if Goldwater attempted to remain as head of the GOP.
Case said he believed that the party soon would no longer have a "single head." He said he felt new leaders would take over — some of
them "not now known to the people."
IN CALIFORNIA, Rep. Bob Wilson, the GOP Congressional Campaign Committee chairman, predicted a three-way fight for party leadership.
He said "the Romney people, the Taft people in Ohio and Nixon" all would be involved in the intraparty contest.
Faulty Procedure Buries ASC Bills
Bob Stewart, Vancouver, B.C., senior and student body president, will neither sign nor veto the anti-discriminatory amendment passed last week by the All Student Council.
The legislation was to have amended ASC Bill No. 7, the human rights bill. Stewart said he had just learned Bill No. 7 is not law and thus cannot be amended. "Bill No. 7 was never sent to the chancellor," Stewart said.
Under the ASC constitution, all bills passed must be sent to the chancellor. Stewart said the bill was passed in October of 1963, signed by the chairman of the ASC and attested to by the ASC secretary, but it did not reach the chancellor.
The amendment to Bill No. 7 set a one-year deadline for removal of discriminatory clauses from the constitutions of all University organizations. If this was not done, any organizations still having such clauses at the end of a one-year period would not be recognized by the University.
MIKE MINER, Lawrence senior and ASC chairman, said last night that no ASC bills, including Bill No. 7, were presented to the chancellor from Dec.12,1963, until Miner's election in late April 1964.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe said last night that John Stuckey, last year's ASC chairman, did not bring Bill No. 7 to the chancellor's office for his signature.
When asked why these bills were not sent to the chancellor for his consideration, Miner said that confusion existed last year as to who had the responsibility. "I have assumed this responsibility this year," he said. Miner said that as yet he did not know how many bills are not legal because they were not sent to the chancellor.
As a result of these new developments, the Civil Rights Council decided last night not to reconsider a demonstration on Homecoming night because Bill No.7 and the amendment to it are not valid.

Johnson's Kansas Victory-No Injury For GOP
Bv Janet Chartier
President Johnson's capture of Kansas in Tuesday's election doesn't show a turning from the Republican party, KU professors say.
"Johnson's victory in Kansas will have no serious effect if Republican leaders, as a whole, are willing to unify their party." Donald McCov. professor of history. said.
Klaus Pringsheim, associate professor of political science, didn't think this had any meaning in terms of Republican party versus Democratic party politics in Kansas.
"THE POLITICAL IMAGE of Goldwater was such that a great many Kansas Republicans did not want to support him." he said.
"It seems to mean Kansas, as shown in all other races, is still a predominantly Republican state." Roy Laird, associate professor of political science, said. "The reasons for preferring Johnson would not be known without depth interviews."
He called it a reaction to the image of the candidate rather than a matter of party politics.
GEORGE BROWN, associate professor of political science, said Johnson's win in Kansas was more or less a rejection of Goldwater than the Republicans.
"The Republican party certainly seems to be quite strong and healthy in Kansas," Richard Dyson, associate professor of law, said. He pointed to Averv's win as an example.
"I don't think this will mean Kansas will become Democratic," Brown said.
small effect in moving towards a two party system in Kansas, Dan Hopson, professor of law, said.
"The increased vote for the Democratic candidates also seemed to indicate this," he said.
JOHNSON'S WIN may have some
WHAT KANASS CAN GET in legislation may be effected indirectly he added. Lujan feels Kansas is still solidly Republican.
"Kansas sent a solid Republican delegation to Congress in a year of a Democratic landslide." Herman
Lujan, professor of political science said.
"Johnson's win merely shows what I might call, if I were being entirely charitable, that radical conservatism
GOP Must Change, Says Landon
THE POLITICIAN, now living in Topeka, said, "I wasn't entirely surprised at the results of the election although it was a bigger landslide than I expected."
With the results of the election, the Republican Party will have to change with the times, according to Alfred Landon, Republican Presidential candidate in 1936.
"The Republican Party will in the end develop a philosophy of keeping in tune with the times," Landon said, "or it will go the way of the Whig Party. I think it will develop the policies which fit the needs and requirements of our great republic."
Landon didn't feel that the Republican defeat would weaken the two party system. He pointed
out that from 1860-1912 the Democrats only elected one president. "They elected that one only because of a split in the Republican party," Landon said.
WHEN ASKED WHY he felt Kansas voted Democratic, Landon answered there were two reasons which applied to the other states also.
"Secondly they (Republicans) became somewhat fearful of Sen. Goldwater's management of the foreign policy," he said.
"The American people," Landon said, "have a rough rule of thumb by which they judge the President—whether times are good or bad. Each month this year was better than the preceding month in the business world. Peace and prosperity was an effective slogan for the Democratic Party.
has no more appeal here than in many other places," Charles Oldfather, professor of law. said.
He also said Kansas had a greater chance to become more of a two party state in two or four years. But it is still going to be basically Republican, he said.
"ItWOULD'VEBEEN desirable if the Democrats would have broken into the win column in some of the state offices, to sustain the renewed interest in the Democratic party." Clifford Ketzel, associate professor of political science, said.
"If we could get a few victories under our belt, we could get more of a two party system here," Prof. Ketzel said. "Nothing succeeds like success."
Commenting on the state and future of the Republican party, Prof. Oldfather said working Republicans may be disillusioned.
"ASSUMING GOLDWATER got the nomination by the effort to organize the working politicians in the party, the defeat of Taft in Ohio may disillusion them," Oldfather said.
This might steer then from conducting a campaign with a candidate
