Manv articles on Buddhism and Christianity, as well as on Kant's philosophy, have been published by Professor Abe. He is especially known for his studies of Dogen and Shinran.

At yesterday's annual business meeting of KU-Y, Dave Dickensheets, Wellington sophomore, and Ann Gallaher, Wheat Ridge, Colo., senior, were elected to the co-presidency. The co-vice presidents are Don Potter, Chanute sophomore, and Barbara Musgrave, Minneapolis sophomore.
Ann Penny, Emporia junior, was elected secretary. Paul Consover, Wichita sophomore, was the only candidate for treasurer.
The elections followed two-minute speeches by each candidate outlining future goals for the organization.
