Twins will lead KU enthusiasts
By PHYLLIS JONES Kansan Staff Writer
Spectators at next year's athletic events may think they're seeing double when the yell leaders squad starts its routine. Was that a superfast double flip, or a fly by doubles?
The cause of all the confusion are Stan and Steve Zimmerman—identical twins. The Topeka freshmen both are vell leaders.
"We both tumbled in high school so we tried out because of the emphasis on tumbling," Steve said. "I first decided to participate and then persuaded Stan to try out."
At the tryouts, the twins worked out a routine which they did together.
"We may work out a brother routine for next year," Steve said.
Although they have the same physical appearance, Steve emphasized that they are both individuals.
"I'm the serious one and he's the kooky one." Steve said.
He said they were not "super close" like people think twins should be.
Echoing this opinion, Stan said, "We depended on each other too much while we were growing up, but we realize we have to make it on our own. College has drawn us apart."
They both believe, however, that having a twin is fun.

8-year-old runs for village leader in local election
DOLTON, Ill. (UPI) — Joseph R. Bugos, 8, was in school yesterday anxiously awaiting the outcome of today's village election. Joseph is running for village president.
"He is young, aggressive, and has been educated in Dolton schools. I can think of no better candidate," said the second grader's guardian-campaign manager, attorney Robert Weiss.
Weiss said the political situation in this southwest Chicago suburb has become so "ridiculous" that an 8-year-old village president "makes sense — more sense than most of the people tangled up in Dolton politics now."
"The great paper clip issue," as defined by Weiss, involved the incumbent Better Community Party's efforts to get challenging parties off the ballot.
"After all," he said, "when you have the whole election turning on the great paper clip issue you know you're in trouble."
Originally, there were five parties fielding candidates in the election. But the Better Community Party challenged the way in which four of the parties submitted ballot petitions. It said the petitions were fastened with paper clips in violation of the election laws.
The election commissioners agreed and now there is only one party opposing the Better Community group, the Home Owners Association.
advantages of being a twin, Stan said, "We get to meet twice as many people, for I meet Steve's friends who think I'm him. When I'm on campus, people who know Steve speak to me, so I meet them too."
Weiss said a group of his friends got together and decided to run Joseph as a write-in candidate. He said his group was expecting "at least 30 votes."
Weiss said the candidate's parents are divorced and that the child has been living with him since December, 1961.
"When we were younger, we went to get our polio shots," Steve said. Stan got his shot first. He left the room and when he later entered the room again, the doctor thought he was me and gave him another shot."
Being a twin can have its disadvantages, however, as Stan can testify.
"Yeah, and I thought he was gonna give me a sucker," Stan said ruefully.

Although each wants to be an individual, a question remains unanswered about who is really who. Is Stan really Steve? Or is Steve really Stan?
This strange circumstance originated when the twins were born.
"When we were in the hospital, the nurse would take our name bands off to bathe us," Steve said. "One day she wasn't sure which name belonged to which baby."
Although he's not sure what his name is, having a twin is an advantage, Steve admitted. Or was it Stan?
Coed 'liberation front' aims gripes at AWS
Committee to discuss protest march to pen
A march from the Lawrence area to the Leavenworth penitentiary will be a topic of discussion for the meeting of the Committee for the 27 at 7 p.m. tonight at the Wesley Foundation, said Ted Steimer, St. Louis junior and coordinator for the group.
The Committee for the 27 was organized, he said, to do what it could do to help the 27 prisoners who were charged with mutiny in the slaying of a fellow inmate by a prison guard at the San Francisco Presidio.
Because Associated Women Students (AWS) is "not living up to its high ideals," a new campus organization was born Sunday called Women's Liberation Front (WLF).
Suzanne Atkins, Leavenworth sophomore and co-chairman of the organization, announced last night the first meeting will be held within a week in the Kansas Union. Miss Atkins said the WLF would announce the time today.
"This meeting is going to be a
general gripe session," she said. "We are going to deal with women's housing and hour restrictions, dorm conditions for women students, and the possibility of revamping or eliminating AWS."
Miss Atkins said the meeting will be open to the public.
The two other organizers of the WLF are co-chairman Becca Sitterly, Ottawa sophomore, and Marilyn Bowman, Merrian junior, secretary.
'Society breeds conflict'
Both conflict and consensus have been inevitable in American society, said David M. Potter, Coe Professor of history at Stanford University, Palo Alto, Calif., in a lecture yesterday in the Kansas Union Forum Room.
Potter used Presidential campaigns as an example of the operation of both consensus and conflict:
"After a heated election, the loser congratulates the winner; the newspapers print more flattering pictures of the winning candidate than they did during the campaign; and the majority party offers posts to the minority."
"But there has been a substantial and justifiable reaction recently to the achievement drive and the cult of success," he said.
America has institutionalized conflict, Potter said, in its sports, its competitive economic system, and, in the universities, with the emphasis on grades.
"At the same time," he said,
"the art of compromise is being rejected; the process of reasoning together is being disrupted by rhetorical attacks, and the campuses are more like battlegrounds than forums."
While recognizing ' the inevitability of conflict, Potter
said, consensus must place a limit on the degree of hostilities in conflict.
"The unimportant issues must be distinguished from the important ones, he said.
Filipinos are gabby
MANILA (UPI) — Filipinos are among the most frequent users of the telephone in the world. A survey made by an official of the International Telecommunications Union showed that the average rate in Manila is 20 calls a day, compared with eight in London and nine in Bombay.

Ask the Du Pont interviewer about it. Ask him anything. He was in your shoes very recently. An Equal Opportunity Employer (M/F)
Du Pont wants engineers who want to grow professionally. And we have great respect for the guy who'd like to "know more about it" before he marries a specific kind of job. We even have a plan to help him.
It's called "planned mobility"—a sort of intramural job hop. You don't get into a training program. You get into a job. If it doesn't fit you, or you it, you get into a second job or a fifth or a sixth, until you find the one you want to grow with. It gives you time to decide while you're broadening professionally.
