TWO PRESIDENTS MEET—Bob Stewart and Lyndon Johnson . . .
Stewart Meets LBJ
Reception Like Family Dinner
Bob Stewart, student body president, found that a luncheon in the White House is just like going over to someone's house for dinner.
Maybe so, if you can imagine having VIP's like President Johnson, Lady Bird, Lynda Johnson, Dean Rusk, Robert S. McNamara and Willard Wirtz sitting at the same table.
Stewart, Vancouver, British Columbia senior, was one of 275 students from all over the United States who attended a reception
The students met the President, Mrs. Johnson and Lynda Johnson, the President's 20-year-old daughter, in a reception following a speech by President Johnson.
Saturday evening at the invitation of President Lyndon B. Johnson.
you don't usually think of famous personalities in this way."
STEWART TALKED briefly with President Johnson, chatted with the President's daughter, Lynda, and listened to short talks by the secretaries of state, defense and labor.
"The atmosphere at the buffet lunch which followed was just as if you had gone over to someone's home for dinner," Stewart said. "They seemed to be a family. It was not what I'd expected, for
"The President told me he was going to be out in Kansas soon, when I went through the line," Stewart said. "I replied that I hoped I would get to see him again, and moved on."
Burzle Resigns as Head Of Two KU Programs
By Robert Henry
J. A. Burzle, professor of German and chairman of the department of Germanic languages and literatures, has resigned as Fulbright adviser and administrator of student exchange programs.
Announcement of the resignation came in a letter to the faculty from Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe.
The ever-increasing work load demanded by the position was the reason given by Prof. Burzle for the resignation.
THE DUTIES FORMERLY handled by Burzle have been split between three offices. The office of International Programs, 208 Strong Hall, will administrate the Fulbright post-doctoral fellowships.
Fulbright graduate fellowships for study abroad will be handled by the College office, 206 Strong Hall. The Graduate School office, 214 Strong Hall, will have charge of the graduate student direct exchange and foreign graduate student scholarship programs.
In announcing Burtle's resignation, Wescoe said, "In granting the request, I wish to express publicly,
In regard to the student exchange program, he said, "I hope and feel we have done some good by training foreign students who help improve their countries when they go home."
DURING THE PAST 15 years,70 faculty members have taught and done research abroad under Fulbright grants. One hundred fifty graduate students have received Fulbright scholarships for foreign study, he said.
and on behalf of the entire faculty, our gratitude and appreciation for the splendid way in which he has performed these additional duties."
Commenting on his 15 years as Fulbright adviser and exchange student administrator, Burzle said that he had "gained tremendously from it-by making friends among students and faculty now scattered al over the world."
Weather
The weather bureau predicts another chilly night with temperatures expected to reach the mid 3'. Temperatures in the upper 70s are predicted for tomorrow's high.
THE HIGHLIGHT OF the reception was a speech by the President in which he unveiled a new program for youth, entitled "White House Fellows." Fifteen men and women between the ages of 23 and 35 will serve as apprentices to the executive branch of the government under the program, co-sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation.
"Future leaders should have first hand experience and knowledge in our government," the President was quoted as saying. "A genuinely free society cannot be a spectator society. Freedom requires participation, full, zestful, knowledgegable participation."
During the fifteen month term of duty, one of the "Fellows" will be assigned to the Vice-President, one to each of the ten executive cabinet members, and four to the White House staff.
"When I first arrived at the White House about fifteen minutes before the program was to start at 5:00, I was free to wander around in about a seven room area," Stewart said.
"I talked to Lynda briefly when I joined one of the ever-changing groups of students standing talking to her. We talked about things you would talk about to any girl anywhere such as student responsibility and popular music. The Marine Eand was playing soft background music during this time."
KU Junior Killed On Way to Game
A KU junior was killed Saturday afternoon in an automobile accident as he was driving his family to see the KU-Wyoming football game here.
Eldon R. Forman, 31, a junior in engineering from Carbondale, was reported dead on arrival at a Topeka hospital after his small foreign car collided with another car at a country intersection near Topeka.
With Forman was his wife, Mrs. Marguerite Forman, and their daughter, Brenda, 6, and son, Michael, 4. Mrs. Forman was examined for possible brain damage.
for possible back injuries, the girl was treated for abrasions and the boy suffered a small puncture wound to the scalp.
THE DRIVER OF the other car,
38-year-old Mrs. Stanley Gulowski
of Topeka, and her 9-year-old
daughter were not injured.
Tom Bruce, Highway Patrol trooper, said the eastbound Gulowski car struck the northbound Forman vehicle at the rear fender. The Forman car was spun around and traveled about 84 feet, overturned several times and landed upright.
Mrs. Forman said both she and her husband had their seat belts fastened. The two youths were in the back seat.
THE TROOPER SAID there was no indication that either driver hit his brakes before the collision at the blind intersection.
Forman, who had lived at Carbondale since 1941, was a former Navy electronics technician. Survivors include his wife and children; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Forman of Carbondale; a sister, Mrs. Frances A. Bowman, Kansas City, Mo., and a grandmother, Mrs. Frances Lewallen, San Pablo, Calif.
Veep Hopefuls Invited to KU
Jaequelyn Thayer, Ellsworth sophomore and chairman of the All Student Council Current Events Committee, sent letters special delivery Friday night to Democratic and Republican national headquarters.
Both national vice-presidential candidates have been invited to appear here for a discussion of the issues in the 1964 presidential election.
In the letter, Miss Thayer asked the candidates to come to KU for a discussion in a format similar to "Meet the Press." Members of a panel would be representatives of the KU Young Democrats and Young Republicans, the University Daily Kanan and the ASC.
A letter also was sent to Kansas gubernatorial candidates William Avery and Harry Wiles, both KU graduates. Both will be on campus Oct. 19 to speak at a meeting of the Kansas School Administrators Association in the Kansas Union.
KU Flag Stolen From Fraser Hall
The KU flag disappeared from the top of Fraser Hall Sunday between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m.
A hole large enough for a person to climb through was broken in a latticed window which leads to the flag.
Lemuel J. Wiley, watchman, said the flag was still flying at 3:30. He said several boys were in the building at the time.

CLINTON ROSSITER 'Only a fairy tale' . . .
Unique Rise Of U.S. Told By Historian
The lessons the American Revolution could give Indonesia "are only the lessons that a fairy tale could give," Clinton Rossiter said here Friday.
The Cornell University historian said the United States' emergence was unique and could not be repeated for several reasons.
When America emerged, Rossiter said, there was no United Nations, no population problems other than under-population and no conflicting ideologies.
PESIDES HAVING A vast land rich with mineral resources and a huge coastal area, Rossiter said the United States was also fortunate in having no rigid class structures and no major religious divisions.
"If any nation was favored in the world, it was our new nation," he said in his lecture in the Kansas Union.
"Some nations produce violinists, painters or pole vaulters, but was there ever such a production of brilliant statesmen as we did?" Rossiter said in reference to the human factor.
HE LISTED THE following as "the ingredients of what we like to call modernization" and a list of goals a new nation must achieve to become independent:
A nation must be completely released from its former colonial owner and be able to "control its own destiny."
The people of the country and the nations of the world must recognize the revolutionary government.
A political system must be created that the people of the nation can understand and that performs the functions of government.
A system of economy, either industrial or agricultural, must be developed.
