Students Curious, Not Ready to 'GO'
The ad read. "Wanted: Someone to play GO. Call VI 2-9227 after 7:00 p.m."
What is "GO?" In this case, it means more than the word that follows "gnu" in Webster's Dictionary, but it is as little known as a blue gnu, to students at KU.
Several coeds had differing opinions about what GO could be, Tanya Lance. St. Joseph, Mo., sophomore, said, "I've played a card game like GO, and it was lots of fun."
Kay Habenstein, Columbia, Mo., junior, said, "Isn't it some type of a handball game?"
"It MUST BE SOME type of an intellectual game," Emily Green, Kansas City junior, said.
Sally Moffit, Oskaloosa junior, read the ad, and said, "Golf was the first thing that came to my mind."
"It's some kind of a game—either a card game or a game played with physical activity of some type," said Carol Pishny, Blue Rapids sophomore.
Graeme Blasdel, Belle Plaine junior, explained that he placed the ad in hopes of finding someone who can play the ancient Japanese game of "GO" with him.
"GO," HE SAID, is a game similar to chess, in that "stones" or small button-like beads are advanced on a
board with lines on it in order to capture territory.
The game originated in the court of a Chinese emperor, and was somehow taken to Japan, where it has been played for centuries. It is quite new to the United States, however.
Blasdel became interested in the game after reading about it in a book at the bookstore where he is employed.
He, the owner of the bookstore and another student who is employed at the store have played several games, but Blasdel is looking for someone who has had more experience with the game than he has, so that he can get some hints on bettering his game.
"THERE ARE MANY little things that the book doesn't explain," he said, "things that a person who has played before could help with."
He reported that of the people answering the ad, he still has not found the experienced player that he needs. Most of the people who have called are curious about finding out what the ad meant.
"Not many people on the hill are too interested in learning to play," he continued.
Charles Hook, Student Peace Union president, slashed his wrist and added his blood to the notices covering a bulletin board in the Military Science Building yesterday afternoon.
If there is a "GO" player in the audience, please go to your telephone and get a game going with Graeme Blasdell. VI 2-9227.
SPU President Scatters Blood
Hook, Lawrence sophomore,
said, "The action was purely spontaneous and an individual gesture.
I decided to do this after reading the story in the University Daily Kansan concerning three Vietnamese intellectuals who were reported to have been pushed out of a plane without any parachutes over North Vietnam."
Hook stated that he cut his wrist several times with a single edge razor blade being careful to miss the artery.
Hook gave as his reason for the action, "Perhaps if some of these Reserve Officer Training Corps members who are being taught how to think, act, fight and die have to walk past someone's blood it will make them stop training for militarism."
Voted Yes
Ray Myers (UP), Dodge City fifth-year engineering student, did not vote against the ASC amendment on student publication advertising, as is stated in Wednesday's edition, but voted in favor of it.
