CYR's Among Crowd Hearing Goldwater
About 100 KU Collegiate Young Republicans were among the crowd of 8,000 to 9,000 people that jammed the Capitol lawn in Topeka to hear Sen. Barry Goldwater yesterday.
Twenty to twenty-five KU students shook hands with Goldwater as he left Governor Anderson's office in the Capitol after the speech.
"The large turnout for the speech shows the tremendous enthusiasm for Senator Goldwater's campaign here at KU and in the whole state of Kansas," Bill Porter, Topeka sophomore and CYR chairman, said.
Oliver Hughes, state Republican chairman, said prior to Goldwater's speech, "I'm rather glad to see a couple of LBJ signs in the crowd. They will get more out of this than all you good Republicans."
OVER HALF THE crowd were high school and college students who had been let out of school to hear Goldwater.
GOLDWATER WALKED to the speaker's rostrum between two lines of "Goldwater Girls" dressed in cowgirl costumes. As Goldwater left the speaker's rostrum, hundreds of students rushed forward to get a closer look at him.
There were 15 to 20 LBJ signs among the crowd. Occasionally the young Johnson supporters tried to start LBJ chants, but they soon died out.
The main part of Goldwater's speech was devoted to criticism of President Johnson's farm program. Goldwater again called for a nationally televised debate between Johnson and himself.
Johnson and Ida Goldwater said, "The Republican party has offered to pay for the television time for the debate. It could be taped so there would be no chance of President Johnson making a mistake that would hurt national security."
"It would be far better for the country to discuss the issues of this campaign and only the issues," Goldwater said.
Growth Seen In Speech
J. E. Douglas, visiting professor of speech, yesterday compared the development of speech communication to a baby's birth.
Prof. Douglas, speaking at the Speech and Drama Research Colloquium, said, "We are witnessing the birth of the science of communication. The birth cries are even taking on signs of intelligible speech. The question is whether it (communication) will get enough oxygen to prevent brain damage."
Speaking on communication as perception, Prof. Douglas said, "Perception is the fundamental process of the mind . . . the focal point of all human behavior."
PROF, DOUGLAS described perception as "the moment of truth, the point at which we 'know' what we know."
Speech communication isn't possible without perception, Prof. Douglas said. "After all, what is speech but a series of sound waves?" he asked. "Perception is vital to understanding."
"Basically, perception is a process of decoding what the speaker has encoded." The problem in perception is understanding what the speaker meant. This is often difficult because each individual has different memories, beliefs and feelings, all of which are involved in perception," he said.
FOLLOWING THE speech, Prof. Douglas said his special field of interest is studying the nature of face to face communication. "I regard this as the fundamental process of communication," he said. "It is the first form of communication which anyone learns."
Prof. Douglas is a faculty member of Oklahoma University. This semester he is teaching three graduate courses at KU.
He received his A.B. from Oklahoma and a master's and doctorate from Northwestern University.
"Americans are concerned with the growing concentration of power in Washington in the hands of one man, no matter who that man is," Goldwater said.
Food Survey Nears End
John Zook, food and drug inspector of the Kansas State Department of Health, plans to finish his investigation of food handling services of all KU living groups this week.
in the investigation, Zook, working through Dr. Ralph Cautenous, director of the student health service, is checking conditions under which food is prepared—dishwashing equipment, kitchens, storerooms, even the garbage inside and outside of buildings.
Inspections are made throughout the day, however the noon hour is the best as the preparation of the food may be observed. Zook said.
The survey, a result of a request made by the housemothers, is "just to see what the conditions are, not a result of the Phi Psi scare," Zook said.
Reports will be sent to each living group with pertinent recommendations.
His first inspection of KU, Zook regularly inspects all types of food establishments, except restaurants, such as drug stores, grocery stores, and wholesale and manufacturing centers.
Frequently he is called upon to make a special investigation of the sale of drugs and pep pills. Quite often he works in conjunction with the Federal Food and Drug Department in the case of narcotics.
