Election Day Fury Nears. Workers Set
By John Sharp
The long months of feverish political campaign activity do not come to a halt today as many people presume. Tomorrow, the election day, will contain more vote hunting operations than any day leading up to it.
All the precinct polling is completed. The persuasion will be carried on until tomorrow. But the final important phase of getting voters to the polls will not be completed until the polls close tomorrow.
To insure that as many as possible of their supporters vote, both local political parties have set up elaborate election day organizations. Poll checkers at each polling place check off the names of each voter who votes. They send these names to party headquarters where they are marked off a list of all the supporters in the precinct of that particular party.
transportation to the polls and baby sitting service are provided locally by both parties for the voters. Most of the transportation will be furnished by the collegiate organizations of both parties.
A group of party workers at headquarters call the people who are sympathetic to their cause, but haven't voted yet, and remind them to be sure to vote.
THE BABY-SITTING committee of the Democratic party will be mostly KU girls. The Republican baby-sitting committee will be members of the Douglas County Young Republicans Club.
Members of the KU Collegegate Young Republicans will help at

local headquarters election night be set up in headquarters to keep track of all local, state, and national elections.
Morris Kay, 3rd District Chairman of Citizens for Goldwater-Miller, said there are 25 major vote centers in the country covered by Operation Eagle Eye. "It is not really anything new here in Kansas. We have always had Republican watchers at the polls. It is now for Chicago and parts of Texas," said Kay.
Five to ten members of the CYR will participate in "Operation Eagle Eye" in Wyandotte County. It is a ballot security program sponsored by the Republican National Committee to stop frauds. Wyandotte County is the only area in Kansas in which the program will be used.
Members of the KU Collegiate Young Democrats Club will work on three committees at Democratic Headquarters election day. These will be the telephone, transportation, and checking committees.
"ALL THE WORK we've done will pay off in two ways. We will see more Democrats elected and we are familiar with how political campaigns operate." said Rogers.
The CYD will hold an election party at the TeePee at 8 p.m. tomorrow night. Members will be admitted free, and membership cards will be sold at the door.
Mike Rogers, CYD president, said, "This is the first time we've put out so much effort in an election. We have more enthusiasm than we have ever had previously."
free of night blindness and rickets can thank E. V. McCollum. Time magazine once said, "he has done more than any other man to put vitamins back in the nation's bread and milk, to put fruit on American breakfast tables and fresh vegetables and salad greens in the daily diet."
Bill Porter, CYR chairman, said, "One of our most important jobs election day will be helping the Republican party by Operation Eagle-Eye. We want to insure that every Republican vote counts, and that we get as many Republican voters as possible to the polls."
Many scientists believe Elmer McCollum should have received a Nobel Prize for his work
The sons of a widow, Burton and Elmer McCollum both attended Lawrence High School and KU.
BOTH ELMER AND BURTON were graduated from KU in 1903: Elmer as a chemist, Burton as an electrical engineer. Burton was the elder, but Elmer finished in three years. He then received a master's degree from KU in 1904.
Burton McCollum worked successively for the General Electric Company, Pacific Electric Company in Los Angeles, Seattle Electric Company and taught for two years as an assistant professor of electrical engineering at KU. He then served for 16 years as head of the Electrical Department of the National Bureau of Standards.
At heart, Burton McCollum was an inventor as well as a scientist. He sold his first invention while still a high school student. During his lifetime he was awarded more than 30 patents.
Journalism Dean Resigns Position
Burton W. Marvin, Dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information for the past 17 years, has resigned as Dean to accept an invitation to create and direct a Mass Communications Center and journalism program at the University of Tel Aviv, Israel.
The Kansas Board of Regents announced Saturday it had accepted Dean Marvin's resignation.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe will appoint a committee to recommend a successor to Dean Marvin. The committee will review applicants from within and without the University.
The resignation from the deanship will take effect June 30,1965 and will mark the end of 17 years as head of the journalism school
Present plans call for Dean Marvin and his family to move to Tel Aviv at the end of the summer. He intends to return to KU after his leave to resume duties as professor of journalism
for Dean Marvin. He came to KU in 1948 as the school's first dean.
Dean Marvin said Saturday that the decision to accept the invitation to the University of Tel Aviv was a difficult one, but his sentiments about leaving his many friends in Lawrence are tempered by the anticipation in which he looks forward to setting up a communications center and journalism education program "from scratch."
"My family and I have lived overseas before, and we found

it to be a stimulating and educational experience," he said. Heightening the Marvins' anticipation is "the challenge and opportunity to continue learning," Dean Marvin said. He added that "from the standpoint of Christian laymen, we are looking forward to living in and becoming acquainted with Israel's Biblical sites and treasures."
Regarding the resignation, Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe said, "The University of Kansas is deeply grateful for the years of thought and dedication Dean Marvin has given to it and to the school of journalism. His invitation to the University of Tel Aviv is a tribute to his professional capacity and to the University. I regret that we must lose his services as an administrator, but I am pleased that he will be returning to us as a faculty member."
Dean Marvin, who had three international assignments previously, said, "I am intensely interested in additional service abroad in journalism education. Furthermore, because of the deep involvement in international education of the University of Kansas, I am looking forward to mutually beneficial contacts during my period of service in Tel Aviv.
