McCarthy backers hear speech today
The state chairman of Kansans for Alternatives will speak at 7:30 p.m. today in the Kansas Union Meadowlark Room in a program sponsored by KU for Alternatives.
Lewis Douglas, Kansas State University professor of political science, has been active in politics for several years and was made chairman of the state organization this year.
He has addressed groups throughout the state in support of Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy for the Democratic nomination for president.
Earlier this month, KU for Alternatives officially endorsed McCarthy for the Democratic nomination after he won the Wisconsin primary.
The KU organization favored
McCarthy because of his stand on "truth in government, peace in Vietnam and equal opportunities at home." The organization said they were impressed with the senator's honesty in national and international issues.
A representative of the McCarthy for President committee in Nebraska also will speak at the meeting, Jack Weeks, Lawrence graduate student and chairman of the University Alternatives group, said.
Kansans for Alternatives tried to get actor Paul Newman, who is campaigning for McCarthy, to come to KU. Since McCarthy decided to enter all the state primarys, Newman has been too busy campaigning in the states to make special appearances, Weeks said.
Keeler elected Alumni president
William W. Keeler, president and chief executive officer of the Phillips Petroleum Co., Bartlesville, Okla., will become national president of the University of Kansas Alumni Association, on June 2.
He will succeed Roy A. Edwards Jr., Kansas City.
Elected regional vice presidents by the association's board of directors were: Howard E. Crawford, vice president in charge of marketing staff, General Motors Corporation, Detroit, Mich., eastern area; Paul Thayer, president of the LTV Aerospace Corp., Dallas, Tex., central area; and Theodore S. Burnett, chairman and chief executive officer, Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Co., Pasadena, Calif.
Three vice presidents were first chosen because of the Alumni Association's greatly expanded programs of meetings throughout the United States.
Keeler, a member of the Class of 1930, has been with Phillips for 40 years. He became president last summer after filling many managerial and executive positions.
In 1961 KU and the Alumni Association awarded him the citation for distinguished service.
Injuries fatal to Charles Olson
Charles E. Olson, Newton sophomore, died Monday from injuries he received Saturday in a motorcycle race near Wichita.
Olson is the son of Dr. and Mrs.
Erwin T. Olson of Newton and was a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon social fraternity.
Funeral arrangements have been directed by Peterson Funeral Home of Newton and the services are to be held at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday in the United Brethren Church of Christ in Newton, the Newton sheriff's office told the Kansan.
The assistant director of the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) is visiting the KU campus today to talk with students and faculty about her work.
Official of OEO visits KU
Genevieve Blatt will speak at an invitational tea this afternoon and will address the public tonight at 7:30 in the Kansas Union Forum Room. Her lecture is sponsored by the Associated Women Students and Mortar Board.
In her work as head of the Office of Older Persons' Programs, Miss Blatt directs aid to the older poor as part of the federal government's War on Poverty.
Miss Blatt became the first woman to serve in an elective state office in Pennsylvania with her election to three successive terms as Pennsylvania's Secretary of Internal Affairs.
Her public service career, marked by many "firsts," began with her assignment as Secretary and Chief Examiner of Pittsburgh's Civil Service Commission.
At the same time, Miss Blatt
also handled several federal government assignments, including membership on the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services in the department of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice, sometimes called the "Crime Commission."
She was named the national "Woman of the Year in Government" in 1963 by Who's Who Among American Women and Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania in 1956.
