The Last Lecture series is based on the topic, "If this was your last lecture, what would you say to humanity?" This and other forums on poetry, modern books, jazz and classical music, current events, minority opinion, films, and humanities, are also sponsored by the SUA.
For those who miss the hometown excitement of election night, there is the Election Night Party in November at the Kansas Union with television sets, open telephone lines to Kansas City, and discussions of the turn of events by political science professors.
As part of the SUA's Recreation Program, the Quarterback Club shows narrated films of the previous Saturday's football game. The Chess Club and Bridge Club tournaments are also part of the SUA Recreation program.
The KU-Y takes a controversial subject and some humorous debaters for a free evening's entertainment at an English-Style Debate. Members of the audience express their opinions by changing sides in the room as often as their minds are changed by the debaters.
For women students, membership in the AWS (Associated Women Students) is free and entitles them to a number of things including student-faculty coffees, fashion shows, and for seniors, a key to their living place.
The Art Museum in Spooner Hall will have on display five or six major exhibitions this year in addition to a fine collection of art displayed the year around.

Dyche Hall, which houses the Museum of Natural History, provides another opportunity for hours of free browsing.
Not to be left out is the "any-number-can-play" activity in tramural sports. You sign up with your living group and prepare to meet your fellow student on the football
field, and the basketball or volleyball courts. Those not athetically inclined are always welcome to the spectator section.

Dean Observes Work In Israel
"I have been in Palestine before, but I never had quite such a wonderful opportunity to study as I did this summer." Dean Moore said.
TOMORROW
"I was impressed with the great strides made in the development of the country in the four years since I have been there. New cities have been built from scratch and there have been improvements in the development of agriculture and industry," he said.
Travel was under the direction of Menashe Harel, professor of historical geography at the Hebrew University. The group visited archeological sites and places of importance in ancient and modern Israel.
The fifty workshop lecturers included ex-Prime Minister Ben Gurion, President Shazzar, Justice of the Supreme Court Silberg, and Speaker of the House Knessat, as well as professors from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
He said he felt that although the nation has its back to the sea and is living in the face of danger, the masses of the people are not overwhelmed by it.

Five KU drama students who toured Europe this summer said Europeans regard the November election in this country as a "choice of the lesser of two evils."
Europeans
The group found no Europeans who wanted Senator Goldwater to win, but they only considered President Johnson as "okay."
Sylvia Groth, Mayville, N.C. graduate; Jo Anne Smith, Wellington senior; Bill Bowersock, Shawnee Mission sophomore; Stanley R. (Rick) Friesen, Prairie Village senior, and Thomas Winston, Dallas. Tex. graduate, spent three months touring Europe and playing for student audiences.
The group also attended a summer session at the University of Vienna at Strobl. Austria.
ASIDE FROM theater experience, the KU troupe members felt they gained a new insight into the people.
They found that European students were more aware of the world around them, and are following the political campaign with avid interest.
In connection with the Goldwater-Johnson presidential race, the group found no one who wanted Goldwater to win.
"To Europeans, the election is a choice of the lesser of two evils." Miss Smith said. "Johnson is o.k. but they are very, very much afraid of Goldwater. They are afraid he could lead us into war, and Europeans do not want any more war."
"They are not worried about the threat of Communism," she said, "but they are very dependent upon us for support, and are afraid Goldwater withdrew this support."
"THERE IS almost unanimous reverence, devotion, awe and grief for Kennedy." Miss Groth said. "And to a man, everyone I talked to expressed the belief that there was some sort of conspiracy connected with his assassination. No one could explain it, and they specifically blame communists, rightists, leftists or anyone, but they cannot accept the fact that it was the work of one man."
"There were a few problems because of the language barrier," Miss Smith said. "But this really only contributed mystery. They couldn't understand all the subtleties, but you knew by their smiles that they were enjoying it."
The students described European audiences as marvelous, tremendously enthusiastic and well informed about the theater.
Performing in Utrecht, Holland was the most satisfying experience for the group, because language was not a problem.
"The audience screamed and yelled their appreciation," Bowersock said. "It was the greatest audience I ever played for."

IN AUSTRIA the troupe performed for Susan Nicoletti, regarded as one of the greatest European actresses. Winston said she is as famous in Europe as Helen Hayes is in America. They performed 13 musical comedy numbers for Miss Nicoletti. Three weeks later Miss Nicoletti and a group of European actors performed for the KU students.
Comparing American and European audiences, the students found that European students were more informed and appreciative, but did not mind booing and hissing if a performance was bad.
"EUROPEANS THINK that musical comedy comes naturally to Americans, and that we are just being ourselves when we perform it." Bowersock said.
Watching Austrian versions of "Annie Get Your Gun" and "West Side Story" were amusing for the KU students, Miss Groth said, because of the language problems.
The students found the Europeans prefer plays that have social significance, rather than the psychological dramas of playwrights like Americans Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams.
AS AMERICAN student actors, the KU students were a curiosity, Bowersock said. Miss Groth explained that there are no universities in Europe where students can earn degrees in theater and receive a liberal arts education at the same time.
Friesen summed up the group's experience as "valuable because we worked before audiences who didn't expect anything and audiences who demanded a lot. And all of up gained a new insight into Europeans and their way of life."
"We were well received because we were students," Miss Smith said. "A European student has a great deal of prestige. He is respected by adults and is expected to lead his country," she added.
Microwave TV Planned Between KU. Med Center
Education via a microwave TV installation will hopefully be used between KU and the Kansas City Medical Center this spring.
The closed circuit television will enable students here to view courses or lectures at the Center and viceversa. In this way, students taking specialized courses will not have to commute back and forth.
Presently under construction, the television equipment consists of a 210-foot relay station near Bonner Springs and specialized equipment it both schools.
The two-way circuit was made possible by a $25,000 grant to the Medical Center from the National Fund for Medical Education.
The estimated cost of construction and first year of operation is $50,000. Advanced chemistry and statistics will be the first courses taught.
Future hopes are that eventually simultaneous two-way communication will be possible.
The Medical Center, a pioneer in TV teaching, had in 1949 the first permanent installation of closed circuit television in the world.
