Humanities Lecture Features Eminent Harvard Professor
1 Editors
A Harvard professor whose eloquence as a speaker matches his eminence as a scholar will present the next Humanities Series lecture at KU Tuesday evening.
Dr. Roman Jakobson will speak on "The Quest for the Essence of Language" at 8 p.m. in Fraser Theater, and a reception by the Faculty Club will follow. He is the Samuel Hazzard Cross Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures and General Linguistics at Harvard and Institute professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He is an international authority in philology, linguistics, and phonology and has published and lectured widely in Europe and the United States. He has received honorary degrees from Harvard, Cambridge, Chicago, Oslo, Uppsala, and Michigan universities.
Those who attend the Humanities lecture on Tuesday may park in Zone Y—a half block south of the KU smokestack--and there board a free shuttle bus to Fraser Hall and return.
Miner Withdraws; CYRs Pick Porter

KU's Collegiate Young Republicans (CYR), returned home from their state convention at Wichita with all but one of the state honors which they had set out to win.
William Edgar Porter, Topeka sophomore and president of the KU CYR, was elected first vice-chairman of the Kansas State CYR. The title of Kansas CYR Queen went to Washburn University's Joan Cameron. The choice was made on the basis of photographs submitted to Congressman Gerald Ford, minority leader of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Other victories for KU CYR are Brian Lewis Biles, Hutchinson junior, convention chairman, and Elizabeth E. Schmidt, Wilmette, Ill., freshman, women's chairman. The nomination of Gordonipp Dupree, Oklahoma City, Okla., freshman, for the post of administrative assistant to the state chairman, still remains to be confirmed.
A "Draft Miner for State Chairman" committee had been organized under the leadership of KU's delegate, John Sharp, Macon, Ga. junior, to put up the candidacy of KU's Robert Nelson Miner, Great Bend junior, for the post of state chairman against Kent Hilliard, Washburn University junior who was running for re-election.
Tulling the election. Miner withdrew from the election, however, after he had been nominated by Sharp.

IS EUROPE?
cuss Modern European History covers the history of Strictly defined, Modern European History covers the history of Europe from January 1, 1964, to the present. However, in order to provide employment for more teachers, the course has been moved back to the Age of Pericles, or the Renaissance, as it is better known as.
College life is such a busy one, what with learning the Maxixe; attending public executions, and walking our cheetahs, that perforce we find ourselves sometimes neglecting our studies. Therefore this column, normally a vehicle for innocent tomfoolery, will occasionally forego levity to offer a quick survey course in one of the learned disciplines. Today, for an opener, we will discuss Modern European History.
It is better known as The single most important fact to remember about Modern European History is the emergence of Prussia. As we all know, Prussia was originally called Russia. The "P" was purchased from Persia in 1874 for $24 and Manhattan Island. This later became known as Guy Fawkes Day.
Persia without a "P" was of course called Ersia. This so embarrassed the natives that they changed the name of the country to Iran. This led to a rash of name changing. Mesopotamia became Iraq, Schleswig-Holstein became Saxe-Coburg, Bosnia-Herzegovina became Cleveland. There was even talk about changing the name of stable old England, but it was forgotten when the little princes escaped from the Tower and invented James Watt. This later became known as the Missouri Compromise.
Only last week he invented the German short-haired pointer.
Meanwhile Johann Gutenberg was quietly inventing the printing press, for which we may all be grateful, believe you me. Why grateful? I'll tell you why: Because without Gutenberg's invention you would not have this newspaper to read and you might never learn that Personna Stainless Steel Razor Blades are now available in two varieties—the regular double-edge blade we have all come to know and love, and the new Personna Injector Blade. Users of injector razors have grown morose in recent years, even sullen, and who can blame them? How would you feel if you were denied the speed and comfort and durability and truth and beauty of Personna Stainless Steel shaving? Not very jolly, I'll wager! But injector shavers may now rejoice—indeed all shavers may—for whether you remove your whiskers regularly or injectorily, there is a Personna blade for you—a Personna Stainless Steel Blade which will give you more luxury shaves than Beep-Beep or any other brand you might name. If by chance you don't agree, the makers of Personna will gladly buy you a pack of any brand you think is better.
buy you a pack of any
Yes, friends, we may all be grateful to Johann Gutenberg for
inventing the means to spread this great news about Personna.
The next time you're in Frankfurt-am-Main, why don't you
drop in and say thanks to Mr. Guttenberg? He is elderly—408
years last birthday—but still active in his laboratory. Only
last week he invented the German short-haired pointer.
But I digress. Returning to Modern European History, let us now examine that ever-popular favorite, France.
France, as we all know, is divided into several Departments. There is the Police Department, the Fire Department, the Gas and Water Department, and the Bureau of Weights and Measures. There is also Madame Pompadour, but that is a dirty story and is taught only to graduate students.
Finally we take up Italy—the newest European nation. Italy did not become a unified state until 1848 when Garibaldi, Cavour, and Victor Emmanuel threw three coins in the Trevi Fountain. This lovely gesture so enchanted all of Europe that Metternich traded Parma to Talleyrand for Mad Ludwig of Bavaria. Then everybody waaltzed till dawn and then, tired but happy, they started the Thirty Years War. This later became known as Pitt the Younger.
Space does not permit me to tell you any more about Modern European History. Aren't you glad?
