Festival begins tomorrow with poet Mark Van Doren
The 1968 Festival of the Arts will begin at 4 p.m. Friday in Hoch Auditorium, with a presentation by Mark Van Doren, one of the best known living American poets of the 20th century.
Van Doren, a Pulitzer Prize winning poet, will give readings of his best poems.
The scope of the writer encompasses many fields: poetry, drama, fiction and non-fiction. His powerful and yet reserved intellectualism and his "Collected Poems" won him the Pulitzer Prize in 1940.
He has published four books of poetry including "Collected and New Poems," "The Narrative Poems of Mark Van Doren," "Selected Poems," and "100 Poems Selected by the Author."
Lambda Chi holds ritual tomorrow
Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity will celebrate the 55th anniversary of its present ritual at 7:30 p.m. Friday, in the Eldridge Hotel.
The ritual was revised in 1913 by John E. Mason, business manager of publications, at the time, and later president of the fraternity. The fraternity had used the original ritual since its founding in 1909 in Boston, Mass.
William J. Hill, national secretary of the fraternity and a Kansas City attorney, will be guest speaker at the banquet in the Crystal Room of the hotel.
After the banquet, an open house will be held at the chapter house, 1918 Stewart.

Room 101?
What is it? O'Brien's Pad? No.
But, Room 101 really does exist It is in the Kansas Union just off the main lobby.
It is the scene of Reading Dynamics demonstrations (Tonight at 7:00 & 8:15 p.m.)
Room 101? See you there. Don't wait until 1984.
We beg to differ.
It's sometimes tempting to condemn all business for the misbehavior of a few bad apples within the business community. This is about as realistic as writing off all college students as hopheads and beatniks based on the actions of a handful.
Like most other businesses Southwestern Bell has a welldefined idea about its social role in the community.
We're concerned about the same things that concern the people who live in the towns we serve.
...about the need to support education.
We make financial and equipment contributions to almost 70 colleges and universities in five states. We sponsor "science recognition days," an educational program for high school science students. We arrange for student visits to Bell Telephone Laboratories and we maintain a speaker's bureau to share our business knowledge with interested student and professional groups.
...about beautifying the areas we serve. We try to design our buildings to be both functional and attractive. We're placing more and more of our wires and cables underground.
...about helping the disadvantaged. We've conducted special programs to train high school dropouts and hard-core unemployables.
... about air pollution. We began equipping all our new
service trucks with anti-pollution devices a full year ahead of federal requirements.
... about the hundred and one other "nonbusiness" things people are concerned about in today's world.
Does this mean we're complacently satisfied that what we're doing is enough? No!
It does mean we're trying. And will keep on trying.
Southwestern Bell
