Fleischmann ends Humanities series
W. Bernard Fleischmann of the University of Massachusetts concluded a three-day stay at KU Tuesday night by reconciling Epicurean and Christian philosophy in the last of the year's Humanities Lectures.
Boys State expects record
The chairman of the comparative literature program at Massachusetts, Fleischmann compared opinions on the philosophies from 14th century authors to 20th century authors. He concluded there is no conflict between the Epicurean belief that the highest good in life is freedom from pain and Christian belief in moderation of pleasure.
While on campus, Fleischmann spoke at the Student Union Activities (SUA) coffee-forum Monday afternoon, lectured to classes in humanities, Western Civilization, German literature and drama and conferred with faculty members about starting a comparative literature program here.
KU will host 1,187 Kansas high school juniors June 2-8 for Boys State, a government-in-action program sponsored by the American Legion.
This is a record number above last year's total of 1,118.
Because of the large number of delegates anticipated this year, assemblies will be held in Hoch Auditorium instead of the University Theatre as in past years. Delegates will live in Lewis, Templin and Hashinger Halls, and their activities will be directed by 107 counselors and about 50 Legion advisers.
This year for the first time, there will be orientation sessions held at various sites throughout the state conducted by former Boys State delegates who are members of the Statesmen's Club. Members include Dennis Taylor, Rancho Cordova, Calif., and David Dickensheets, Wellington, seniors at KU, and Gary Boomer
The sessions will be held to orient Boys State representatives before they come to KU in June
and Yancy Hudson, of Kansas State University.
The Boys State program will begin at 12:30 p.m. June 2 with city meetings and state party organization later that day. The week's activities include June 3, party rallies, city elections and city meetings; June 4, party caucuses and primary elections; June 5, party rallies and general elections; June 6, opening legislative sessions and Boys Staters' talent show; June 7, governor's ball; and June 8, election of representatives to the Boys National government-in-action program in Washington, D.C.
Pass scrimmage highlights session
Quarterbacks Bob Douglass and Jim Ettinger called patterns against the No. 1 defensive unit Tuesday as the Kansas Jayhawks went through an eight-minute pass scrimmage in spring football practice.
Coach Pepper Rodgers said both the offense and defense were hitting much better than at Monday's opening session.
The Boys State participants will form Nationalist and Federalist political parties and support candidates for Boys State governmental positions. Last year's governor, Scott Ross of Wichita, will serve as governor until a new one is installed June 5.
Computer course begins this week
A three-week course in advanced FORTRAN programming and techniques for the GE625 computer will begin Monday in room 302 Bailey.
The course will be offered from 10:30 to noon Monday and Wednesday through May 8, and will be open to the public.
