Birth control, Vietnam are Greek topics
A variety of topics ranging from birth control for unmarried coeds to why the Vietnam war is unconstitutional were discussed by participants in the Greek Week Speaker Series Wednesday night.
Although eight speakers in eight Greek houses were scheduled, three of the discussions were cancelled at the last minute.
Hamilton Salsich, assistant instructor of English, was scheduled
to speak at the Phi Delta Theta house on the worth of fraternities. He cancelled early Wednesday for unknown reasons. Norman Abrams, assistant professor of design, also did not appear at the Delta Delta Delta house.
About 25 people had gathered to hear the speech because no word of cancellation had been received by the sponsoring house.
Calder M. Pickett, professor of

sex. Rev. Simmons advocated birth control for unmarried coeds. He did not advocate pre-marital experience itself, but considered a child born out of wedlock a crime.
The individuals involved must make the decision. Moral judgments by others should not be made if the situation is to be considered realistically, he said.
2 professors named Guggenheim Fellows
Velvel filed suit recently against President Johnson in the United States District Court in Topeka. He doesn't believe he will win, but intends to press the case as far as he can.
Two KU professors, Jack W. Culvahouse and Benjamin Chu, are among 291 United States and Canadian scholars awarded Guggenheim Fellowships for 1968. Culvahouse, professor of physics and Chu, whose promotion to professor of chemistry becomes effective July 1, were selected from among 2,053 applicants.
Rev. Thomas Rehorn, Wesley Foundation, Alpha Gamma Delta; Most people are concerned about things other than themselves, although few have the courage to become actively involved in them. These concerns are the racial situation, Vietnam, social class and poverty, he said.
Larry Velvel, assistant professor of law, Sigma Alpha Epsilon: The Vietnam war is illegal because Congress is the only body which can declare war. The United States has no real interests in Vietnam, he said.
Culvahouse will use his Guggenheim award in conjunction with a sabbatical leave for experimental and theoretical studies in solid state physics at Oxford University in England. He has a $66,000, two-year grant from the National Science Foundation for this work. He also is co-investigator for an inter-disciplinary project funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for $50,000 to study the results of radiation damage in solids.
Chu will use his Guggenheim Fellowship to study the structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules. He has just completed a two-year appointment as an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow, which provided him with an unrestricted fund for research. Currently he has a two-year grant of $51,500 from the National Science Foundation for studies on critical
Television audiences have heard him in the Handel and Haydn Society of Boston production of "The Messiah" in several Christmas seasons.
Steve Heeren, assistant instructor in psychology, Delta Tau Delta: The school society coerces individuals to conform. The fraternity may cause similar reactions because it restricts individuality. However, a fraternity allows a certain amount of independence because a person may act without the need to gain a circle of friends at the same time.
He has been soloist with the National Symphony of Washington, the Empire State Music Festival orchestra, the New York Oratorio Society, and the Cleveland Symphony.
Opera singer to teach in KU summer school
With more than 20 lyric operatic roles in his repertoire, Wainner has sung with the Washington, D.C., Opera Society, the Chautaquua Opera, Brooklyn Opera, and others. He has recorded solo for Columbia Masterworks and has solo parts in the RCA Victor albums of the Robert Shaw Chorale and the Decca Records of the Harry Simeon Chorale.
James Wainner, American tenor known in this area for his leading roles in the Kansas City Lyric Opera, as a principal in the touring Goldovsky Opera Theatre and soloist with the Wichita Symphony, will be visiting lecturer in voice at the University of Kansas in the 1968 summer session.
Wainner, who was a winner of the Ford Foundation grant award for young opera singers, is assistant professor of voice at Baldwin-Wallace College Conservatory, Berea, Ohio.
While the United States' presence in South Vietnam is wrong, North Vietnam's aggression is equally wrong.
The fear of nonconformity has caused this passive, rather than active, attitude today.
Leland Fritchard, professor of economics, Alpha Tau Omega: The international monetary crisis is caused by military commitments.
The Rev. John Simmons, United Campus Christian Fellowship advisor, Kappa Alpha Theta: The audience was advised to become "open-minded" about pre-marital
opalescence. His work has been supported by the Army Research Office and the Petroleum Research Fund of the American Chemical Society.
Guggenheim Fellowships are worth about $7,500.
In the Big Eight and Missouri Valley area there was one Guggenheim appointment at Iowa State University and four at Washington University in St. Louis.
