Sunday evening at 7, the Blue Band, under
Kansans rejected Lincoln
By G. DAVID ROWLAND Kansas Staff Reporter
With all the political activity of the upcoming presidential election surrounding us, it's somewhat interesting to relax with a story of how campaigns used to be.
Just such a story comes to us from Kansas history.
When the extremely tall, sad figure of a man left the St. Joseph-Elwood ferry at
FOCUS
Elwood, Kan., he was met by two men who were to come to where he was to give a
the sad face and long arms that extended almost to his knees, was.
As the three walked down the main street of Elwood towards the Great Western Hotel, they noticed a man walking on the sidewalk.
Fifteen months later they would have their sons. Abramah Lincoln would be 10th President.
When he came to Elwood, Lincoln was virtually unknown, except in his home state of Illinois where he was in the state he served and served one term in Congress.
The year before his visit Lincoln had lost his seat in Congress to Stephen A. Douglas, author of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, a compromise to slavery.
As they walked down the street, a town crier was shouting, "Abraham Lincoln to speak at the Great Western Hotel at 8 p.m., tonight. All welcome."
Elwood was one of the first stops on Lincoln's trip to speak out against slavery and as such became the testing ground for many of his later speeches.
This wasn't the end of Lincoln's visit to Kansas, only the beginning.
In Troy, only 40 people showed up to listen to the speech; in Atchison, the chairman of the meeting forgot Lincoln's name and had to refer to notes in his pocket to remind himself. Lincoln also gave the same speech in Leavennight where he added a little to it.
"We are not trying to destroy slavery," he said. "The peace of society and the constitution of our government both require we should let it alone and we are letting it alone."
Despite his efforts, members of the Republican National Committee from Kansas voted for another candidate. Kansas did serve a purpose though.
This same antislavery speech that fared so poorly in Kansas was met with great enthusiasm at Cooper Institute in New York and the University, and it parvel his way to the White House.
State educators study leadership
By PENNY CHILTON
Educators in American public schools will lead the way in solving the world's problems "humanely," Jack Frymer, professor of education at Ohio State, told a group of Kansas educators at a leadership seminar in Woodruff Auditorium yesterday.
Frymer used a slide and film show he had produced to outline the critical issues facing teachers and administrators for approximately 50 educators from across the country.
The leadership seminar, sponsored by the University of Kansas chapter of Phi Delta
Kappa, the fraternity of professional educators, and the KU Division of Continuing Education is part of Phi Delta Kappa for the celebration of the birth of the Bicentennial.
How schools can promote both individual initiative and social responsibility.
District conferences of Phi Delta Kappa in 1974 identified three areas of concern for
- How educational systems can adapt to the demand for alternative routes to adulthood not well served by traditional secondary school programs.
- Who should control public education.
Part of Frymer's audio-visual presentation dealt with the national success of special education for the slightly mentally retarded, one of the options in the secondary school curriculum. They open classes and mini-courses in secondary schools were also successful options.
"I've heard that during the course of 12 years of school a youngster learns about one-billionth of all the facts, knowledge, concepts and principles that have been generated since the beginning of time," she says. "I make the decision about what is learned?"
The Blue Band will also perform "Dahoon for Marimba and Band" by Thomas Brown, March and Polonaise band, Tumpani and Jamboree, and Tumpani and Jamboree" by Payo Yoder. These numbers will feature percussion solos by George Boberg, associate professor of music from

FRIDAY, JULY 18 SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS Written and directed by Preston Sturges, the talented director of sharp, cynical satires who revitalized the American comic tradition in the forties. A famous movie director (Joel McCrea) disguises himself as a vagabond and sets off to search for the meaning of poverty. He meets a young blond (Veronica Lake), is accused of his own murder and is sentenced to a chain gang before he proves his identity. This eccentric satire of a protean director of musical comedies who wants to make social treatises (with titles like—Brother, Where Art Thou?] is Preston Sturges's best film. It is also something of a self-justification: after watching the prisoners laugh at a 'Mickey Mouse' cartoon, the director decides he can better achieve his social aims through comedy than through "pretentious" social dramas. (1941)
THURSDAY, JULY 17 James Dean in THE UNLIGHTED ROAD and LENNY BRUCE AT BASIN STREET WEST. The first feature, THE UNLIGHTED ROAD, is a drama in which James Dean plays the pawn of truck hi-jackers, and is the only live TV show of his that was recorded on film. The Lenny Bruce film was made "on location" during a regular nightclub appearance, before a live audience. Lenny Bruce does his thing, using all the so-called "dirty words" he customarily used in his acts.
