ONE. TWO. THREE
The second day of spring elections is well under way; however early voters like Susan Brimacombe, Kansas City freshman, cast their ballots yesterday. Miss Brimacombe is shown here registering, voting, and dropping her ballot in the box at Strong Hall.
About 110 students donated blood yesterday in the first day of the Red Cross mobile unit's blood drive on campus.

At 4 p.m. yesterday, 1,359 students had cast ballots for student body, class officers and ASC candidates. About 4,541 students voted in the spring elections last year.
may do so from 9 am. to 3 am in the lobby of the Kansas Union
Mrs. Jo Byers, executive director of the Douglas County Red Cross, termed yesterday's drive "quite successful."
Cycle accident injures student
Perry J. Sims, Newton junior was listed in good condition today following injuries he received in a motorcycle car accident at 11th and Massachusetts streets yesterday.
Sim's Honda collided with a 1964 Chevrolet driven by John K. Cooper, Wichita senior.
"There were many more people who requested to give blood but were unable for various reasons," she said. "We always expect a certain percentage of rejections."
Blood donations cannot be accepted from persons who have had dices such as hepatitis, who are being treated with cortisone or who weigh less than 110 pounds.
Dolph Johnson, All Student Council (ASC) elections committee chairman, said Wednesday that "vote totals should be near 4,500, but I doubt if it goes over 5,000."
STUDENTS UNDER 21 who wish to donate blood must have signed consent from their parents.
The number of students voting in this year's spring election may equal that of last year, but it won't set any records.
Donors will register and then be asked for a short medical history. After donating blood, they are served refreshments. The process takes about 45 minutes.
Turn-out is light in first day vote
Students have asked whether they give blood in order to receive it if they are hospitalized
The Red Cross will meet the blood needs of the entire University, whether the individual student has given blood or not. Mrs. Eyers said. The fact that some students did donate automatically qualifies all students to receive blood.
Regents increase health fee
TOPEKA—A three-dollar increase in the student health fee beginning Sept. 1 was approved today by the Board of Regents.
The increase, from 17 to 23 dollars per semester, was needed to meet rising medical services costs, according to Chancellor W. Clarke Weseo.
THE REGENTS also approved a 42-member council within the University Senate.
In other action, the Regents awarded 2.7 million dollars in contracts for the new Life-Sciences Building.
"I DOUBT IF WE SET any records this spring," Johnson said.
Johnson said he expected voting today to be heavier than first
VOTING SLOW
Voting was still light at 11 a.m. today with only 2,240 students casting their ballots. Polls will stay open until 6 p.m.
day totals, Polls close at 6 p.m. today and ballot counting will begin shortly thereafter.
Kyle Craig, University Party candidate for student body president, said that Wednesday's turnout "wasn't bad for the first day."
"ID STILL LIKE to see more people get out and vote," Craig said. "Voting in student elections is a privilege all students have, but some persons fail to see the significance of voting."
Ken North, Vox candidate for president, said, "I can't say a whole lot for the vote. There should be at least 3,000 people vote the first day, with an increase the last, in order to get an intelligent vote."
Last minute coverage of the election and party organizational plans have probably helped the vote. North said.
No individual totals will be available until counting is complete tonight at the data processing center in Summerfield Hall. Running totals will not be kept but totals by district or race will be posted when they are complete.
Cicero is subject of Humanities talk
Michelangelo's story told
A great Roman orator, statesman and philosopher will come alive in a Humanities Series lecture next Tuesday, when William McDermott, Rose Morgan visiting professor, will speak on "Ciero and the Classical Tradition." The lecture will be at 8 p.m. in University Theatre, and an informal reception by the Faculty Club will follow.
McDermott is professor of classical studies and chairman of graduate work in classes at the University of Pennsylvania. On November 17, 1964, he gave a Humanities Series lecture here on "Caesar, or the Anatomy of a Dictatorship."
McDermott's lecture on Cicero will replace a previously-announced lecture by Dr. Giorgio de Santillana of Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
"Dr. Santillana had to cancel his Kansas trip because of illness," explained. Prof. Elmer F.
Beth, chairman of the Humanities Committee. "We are fortunate that a distinguished scholar like Dr. McDermott could be presented. His Rose Morgan appointment attests that he is one of the leading classics scholars in America."
McDermott received the Ph.D. degree in classical archaeology in 1934 from Johns Hopkins University. He has taught Greek, Latin, and classical history at Allegheny College, Lehigh and Michigan, and has been on the University of Pennsylvania faculty since 1939.
Besides publishing many articles and reviews in learned journals, he is author of three books: "The Ape in Antiquity," "Gregory of Tours," and "Readings in the History of the Ancient World." He is at work on "Revolution and Subversion," a work dealing with Roman history in 60-62 B.C.
His creations survive
Bu PAULA MYERS
He knew that man dies, but that his creations live. To escape death he bound his soul to his work.
In the film The Titan, the story of Michelangelo was revealed to about 200 art history students last night.
The students have just finished studying the High Renaissance, which emerged from Gothic art. At this time artists began to understand the scientific law of perspective. Man as a human being became important. Michelangelo grasped the world.
MICHELANGELO AT 17 had completed his first major work—Battle of the Centaurs. He was influenced by Lorenzo de Medici.
When Lorenzo died, Michelangelo went to Rome. The city was rediscovering its great past.
The Roman past was reflected in Michelangelo's works. He sculptured the pagan ideas of man in nature through Bacchus, the God of Wine. Later, the artist's mood changed.
HIS MOOD BECAME one of sadness and wonder. In his Pieta, he dramatically shows the Virgin lamenting the death of the Divine Child.
The Pieta is Michangelo's only signed work. He chiseled his name in the statue because people believed that some other artist had created it.
He worked years on some of his pieces. It took him four years to complete the 19 foot statue of David. When he undertook this job it
was a city challenge because the marble block was imperfect.
THE STATUE of David is a pride of strength and beauty.
After completion of that statue, the city of Florence voted to give him a house and studio. His technique changed to one of sureness and calmness.
The rest of his life was devoted to doing jobs for the Pope, including Sistine Chapel.
The chapel which is 10,000 square feet, took Michelangelo four years to complete. He divided the chapel into different sections, which told the Biblical stories of the creation to the flood.
MICHELANGELO WROTE: "No man has undertaken such a task and no one can help me." In four years he had created his own heaven and earth.
The following year he worked on a tomb for Pope Julius and on many other statues. At 60 he returned to the Sistine Chapel. He spent another five years painting Judgement Day, which shows man in his day of wrath.
AFTERWARDS Michelangelo collapsed. He regained his health and returned to Rome to become the chief architect. At 75 he remodeled St. Peters. It was a triumph of clarity. He was regarded with almost religious awe.
"I know the creator will go, but the works survive. I bind my soul to my work," Michel- angelo said.
His works do live on.
