Money raising drive for McCarthy Fling to host fowl play
Millions for McCarthy, a student campaign to raise money for Eugene McCarthy's presidential primary campaigns and state caucus needs, will start today at KU, according to John Bowman, Wichita freshman and coordinator of the program at KU.
The purpose of the campaign is to raise two million dollars from 1,000 universities. The KU group
hopes to raise $650 in the next week. They will call on all campus living groups and off-campus housing.
Bowman said the KU group has "McCarthy's Millions" buttons to distribute to all students who contribute two dollars or more. "This is a large amount for a student to contribute." Bowman said, "especially if he is not involved in a major campaign. But we are hoping KU students will respond well."
In the next week, students will be able to donate to the campaign at the McCarthy booth in the Kansas Union or in their living groups when the group representatives are there. Tonight they will be in McColum Hall, Oliver Hall, Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall and Lewis Hall.
Seminar will include Moyers, Freberg
Six journalists including former presidential press secretary Bill Moyers and satirist Stan Freberg will headline a seminar on "The Role of the Mass Media in a Free Society." Sunday through Tuesday.
Ben Bagdikian, Stan Freberg, Bill Moyers, Carl T. Rowan, Theodore Koop and Bosley Crowther will project their views on crucial issues facing the mass media in the lectures.
The seminar, sponsored by the William Allen White Foundation and the school of journalism, honors the centennial birthyear of the late editor of the Emporia Gazette, William Allen White.
Bagdikian, noted press critic, will open the seminar at 8 p.m. Sunday in the Kansas University ballroom. The former journalism consultant to the Ford Foundation is directing a news media study for the Rand Corp.
Author of two books, Bagdikian has written extensively for such magazines as the Saturday Evening Post, Atlantic, Harper's, New Republic and Esquire.
The first of three lectures will be given by Freberg in the University Theatre at 9 a.m. Monday.
The satirist-turned-advertising consultant works in Freberg Limited—a Hollywood-based advertising firm which serves such diverse clients as a prune company, the U.S. Army Recruiting Service, a Chinese food company, and the United Presbyterian Church
Moyers will speak at 2:30 p.m.
Now publisher of Newsday, Long
Island, N.Y., Moyers served as
deputy director of the Peace
Corps in the Johnson administration.
Rowan will conclude Monday's program with a lecture at 8 p.m. The nationally-syndicated columnist and former director of the U.S. Information Agency combines a newspaper background with knowledge of government.
Tuesday's sessions will begin at 10:30 a.m. with a lecture by Theodore F. Koop, vice president of the Columbia Broadcasting System.
Crowther, retired movie editor of the New York Times, will speak at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. The author of two books about the movie industry. Crowther watched more than 250 movies each of his 25 years with the Times.
Bowman said McCarthy has succeeded in the New Hampshire and Wisconsin primaries mainly due to student donations of time and money.
Overpowered by an April shower, prof rushes home
During Monday afternoon's heavy rains, two students were trapped without umbrellas in Carruth-O'Leary Hall, waiting at a rear door for the downpour to let up.
"Will you give us a ride to Zone X?" they asked a passing instructor.
There will be fowl play during Spring Fling again this year.
"I can't!" he yelled as he dived into his car. "My house is flooding!"
Ducks for the annual duck race across Potter Lake are expected to arrive Thursday from Kansas City, said Jan Wittmeyer, Ottawa sophomore and steering committee chairman of Spring Fling.
Beatles'EyeView of the Guru.
The Maharishi Mahesh Yogi—spiritual adviser to the Beatles and Mia Farrow, architect of Transcendental Meditation, leader of the Spiritual Regeneration Movement. A frail man who sits cross-legged among cushions high in his own ashram—a Himalayan retreat where believers practice meditating and exist on boiled rice and vegetables. The Beatles were there, and Mia, and a score of celebrated and not-so-celebrated believers from around the world. Why? To find out, Post writer Lewis Lapham talked to the Guru's followers in the U.S., then went to
India. You can see the Maharishi, his retreat and his message as the Beatles see them in the May 4 issue of The Saturday Evening Post. Get your copy today. On newsstands now
ON SALE NOW
In the past, Spring Fling has been a week of ducknapping, with residence and scholarship halls stealing each other's birds.
However, ducks will not be allowed on campus this year because "officials" have decided ducknapping is too destructive, Miss Wittmeyer said. The ducks will be kept hidden to prevent trouble.
The 14 ducks will be rented for the weekend because it is difficult
to find ducks for sale, Miss Wittmeyer said.
The ducks will be part of the parade Friday down Jayhawk Boulevard. Saturday afternoon they will race across Potter Lake as part of the games day of Spring Fling.
Research grant given
The Life Insurance Medical Research Fund has made two grants totaling $52,800 to KU.
