Democrat Praises JFK Steel Action
A probable Democratic candidate for Congress from Kansas' new 5th Congressional district last night praised President Kennedy's action in the recent steel price increase controversy.
Wednesday, April 18, 1962
The finalists and their topics are Paul Adelgren, Mission freshman,
"The Psychological Aspects of Pain";
Sondra Chance, Frankfort freshman,
"Agunga"; John Herbert, Topeka freshman,
"Cancer"; Nancy Marcy, Scott City freshman, "Music in Therapy"; Phil Mohler, Prairie Village sophomore, "The Scholarship System at KU"; Rosemary Schenck, Dayton, Ohio, freshman, "Man and the Virus"; John Seever, Wichita sophomore, "Making Your Own Recording," and Winnie Yeo, Manhattan freshman, "Bathing Through the Ages."
Dale A. Spiegel, Emporia attorney, was speaking before about 20 KU Young Democrats in the Kansas Union.
Finalists for the potpourri speech contest to be held at 8 p.m. today and tomorrow in Fraser Hall have been chosen. Three winners will be named each night.
"THE PRESIDENT'S marshalling of public opinion in this matter was an act of courage and wisdom calculated to the preservation of the American way of life," he said. "It reminded the steel industry of its responsibility to the public where the public interest overrode private interest."
Judging the contests will be Will Linkugel, assistant professor of speech and drama; James N. Neelley, assistant professor of speech and drama, and Margaret Anderson, associate professor of speech and drama. John Hackworth, assistant instructor in speech and drama, will be the master of ceremonies.
Speech Finals Set for Tonight
Chem Students Rank High in Tests
It appears that KU chemistry students have done their part to set high standards for selecting Peace Corps members.
Six KU seniors made high scores in a national chemistry examination designed to establish criteria for choosing future Peace Corps members. The KU students made scores with percentile ranks of 98, 96, 93, 86, 72 and 61.
A percentile rank of 98 means that 98 per cent of the other persons taking the test got lower scores than the person in that rank.
The six students winning the high scores were Daniel L. Fischer of Osborne, Gary D. Hindman of Neodesha, James Little of Prairie Village, Keith E. Sickafoose of Phoenix, Ariz., John S. Swenton of Bonner Springs and Gerald Weatherby of Neodesha.
After the meeting, he was asked whether he believes United States Steel controls too large a portion of the American market and should be broken up by anti-trust action.
He said U.S. Steel should not be broken up but should be controlled in much the same way that utilities such as American Telephone and Telegraph is controlled. Such utilities may not raise their prices without government consent.
SPIEGEL SAID the burden of proof that a price increase is needed should lie with the company.
He said the $6 a ton price increase proposed by U.S. Steel might damage the steel industry's position in the world steel market. He said the U.S. steel industry must contend with the European Common Market if it is not to be pushed out of the world market.
Spiegel also discussed the Democratic party's chances in the coming Congressional elections.
"Our people come so near to abdicating their suffrage that it scares you," he said.
"There is a distinct possibility that the party may enjoy success at the state level this time," he said. He added that chances are good in the first and fifth Congressional districts.
CALLING FOR MORE interest in politics, Spiegel said. "It is probably less than one-tenth of one per cent (of the people) that run our government.
He urged Young Democrats to work hard for the party because they can be "one of those people that actually do shape those things that are to come."
HOPE Deadline Is Extended
The deadline for nominations for the HOPE Award has been extended to 4 p.m. Thursday.
The Honors for Outstanding Progressive Educators is an annual award presented by the senior class to the faculty member who has succeeded in insuring the welfare of his students and increasing the prestige of the university.
THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION acts as an advisory group to the award committee, but the winner is entirely student nominated and elected.
Persons making HOPE nominations are asked to consider the faculty member's willingness to help students, success in stimulating students or challenging the students toward thinking, devotion to profession, and contribution to the general cultural life of the university.
KU students make the original Award nominations. The award committee later interviews students who have made nominations and members of the department of which the nominee is a member. The award committee selects the winner.
Publications and creative work will be considered but not to the same extent as the instructor's contribution to students.
FACULTY NOMINEES MUST be full-time members of the faculty and must be in at least their second year of teaching at KU. Nominees also should be persons who plan to stay at KU. No professor may be given the award more than once.
Seniors are asked to turn in or mail nominations to the Alumni Association, 127 Strong. The winner of the HOPE Award will be announced at the Senior Coffee.
Modernity in Decor Enhances Beauty of Ancient Artwork
The "Sabouroff Painter" who was responsible for the Greek art work blended the colors to reveal the luster of each one.
Using these colors as a background, the Museum has arranged into it the ancient art collection together with pieces borrowed from the Nelson Gallery Study Collection.
By Janice Pauls
The color scheme illustrated in pedestals, wall display cases, and picture frames was chosen from the black, white, and terracotta paintings on 550 B.C. Greek vases and oil jars.
Interior decoration, a familiar method of rejuvenation, now has been incorporated by the KU Museum of Art to liven and vitalize one portion of its display space.
ANCIENT ART OF GREEK, Roman, Egyptian, and Etruscan origin benefits from the reinstallation as direct and indirect lighting emphasizes the beauty of this exquisite sculpture.
THESE ARTISTIC achievements
are segments of Western culture revealing relationships between them and epitomizing the heights to which the ancient world could rise.
Since the Roman demand for original Greek works was far greater than the supply, small bronze figures were cast as inexpensive, diminutive adaptations of the more famous and colossal works.

One of the unique features of the display is a Hellenistic bronze statuette of Zeus. This adaptation of the famous Zeus Olympus by Phidias is an example of the previously mentioned sculptural class.
