Prizes Attract Kansas Artists
Kansas artists and craftsmen will have a chance to exhibit their "wares" and to win some money.
Ceramics, wrought silver, jewelry,
furniture, enameling, sculpture, mosaics,
textiles and hand-woven fabric
will be exhibited starting Oct. 18 in the Browsing Room of the Kansas Union.
The exhibit, the Kansas Designer Craftsmen Show, was established 11 years ago.
"We wanted to increase public interest in craftsmen in Kansas," Marjorie Whitney, professor of design, said. "Each near the show is more popular."
Prizes totaling $1,000 will be awarded this year. Alma Eikerman, nationally known silversmith and member of the art faculty at Indiana University, has been invited to judge the show.
Prof. Eikerman will also select the entries that will be displayed.
"We can only display about one-
third of the work that is submitted." Pref. Whitney said. "We'd like to exhibit more, but we're limited by space.
"Entries will be judged on the basis of taste, quality and craftsmanship." she explained.
Several objects will be for sale, Prof. Whitney said. Price catalogues will be available at the show.
What every son should tell his father!
"In past years, jewelry and ceramics have been the most popular sale articles." she said.
Thomas Gorton, Dean of the School of Fine Arts, will announce cash awards and honorable mentions at the show's opening at 3:30 p.m. on Oct.18.

Air-Borne Campaign Shrinks Travel Miles
WASHINGTON —(UPI)— Fifteen presidential campaigns have been held since the Wright brothers invented the airplane, but airborne politicking is a comparatively recent phenomenon.
The 1964 candidates are doing virtually all of their campaigning by air. Republican nominee Barry M. Goldwater will fly about 75,000 miles before election day and President Johnson probably will equal or come close to that mileage. Their running mates tentatively have scheduled almost as much flying.
By 1960, the airplane had taken over campaign travel almost entirely. Vice-President Richard M. Nixon chartered a United Air Lines twin-engine Convair and John F. Kennedy used a family-owned Convair. This year the candidates are flying in all jet-powered equipment.
This is a far cry from the days when William Jennings Bryan took nearly three months to cover 18,000 miles by train. In the time it took Bryan to stump a single big state, today's candidate can talk to and be seen by voters from coast to coast.
But it was Dwight D. Eisenhower and Adlai E. Stevenson who brought airborne politics into its own. In 1952, they became the first candidates to rely on airliners for the majority of their trips. Both did the same in 1956.
WENDELL L. WILLKIE was the first presidential hopeful to use chartered airliners. That was in 1940 when air travel still was something of an adventure. Thomas E. Dewey did some flying in 1948 and the late Vice-President Alben W. Barkley covered about 20,000 miles in 33 days during the off-year congressional campaign of 1950.
President Johnson is using an Air Force Lockheed Jetstar for shorter flights and his giant Boeing 707 on longer trips. On flights labeled "political" the Democratic National Committee pays the bill for the Air Force planes—about $525 an hour for the Jetstar and $2,350 an hour for the 707.
GOLDWATER HAS chartered a
new, three-engine Boeing 727 from American Airlines at a cost of $2,100 per hour. It came complete with crew and special cabin modifications including berths and working desks for staff and press. Total cost: $280,000. The news media will foot all but about $71,000 of the bill.
Under a plan unique to presidential campaigning, news organizations paid the GOP in advance $3,660 per seat on the Goldwater plane. The Republicans insisted on an advance payment because they said the party got stuck for $300, 000 in plane travel by reporters in 1960.
Republican  Vice-presidential candidate William E. Miller is using an Electra, also modified for campaign travel. The GOP is paying by the mile—an estimated $3.50. The total cost is uncertain because Miller's travel plans are not as firm as Goldwater's.
Democratic Vice-presidential candidate Hubert H. Humphrey has chartered an American Electra at a rate of about $1,500 an hour.
JOHNSON AND GOLDWATER have one thing in common—a like of flying. Both enjoy air travel, both can relax in planes and both are real veterans. Goldwater is a jet pilot and likes to visit the 727's cockpit. He hasn't flown the big jet yet (as far as anyone knows) but on previous campaign trips aboard non-airline planes, he usually managed to get in a few minutes at the controls.
Franklin D. Roosevelt detested flying. Nixon, Kennedy and Eisenhower liked it. Dewey and Truman were lukewarm. Truman preferred trains mainly because of his "whistle stop" technique. One of his aides once commented that he never saw anyone campaign from the wing of an airplane.
I'm just crazy about the SUA Carnival.
