Harris Discusses Human Dignity
The principles of democratic government, liberty, equality and fraternity, should not be limited by national frontiers, Errol Harris, professor of philosophy, said in a war and peace lecture titled "Democracy and World Order."
The main emphasis in an ideal democracy is placed on the ultimate value of human individuality, and the recognition of the individual dignity, he said.
"This is the only valid basis for social and political equality. Without it, there is little sense in calling political ideas, practices or constitutional forms democratic," Prof. Harris said.
THE PROFESSOR equated human welfare with social welfare, and called individuality "a social product."
"Thus the welfare of society is

nothing more or beyond or separable from the welfare of the individual members of the society, and neither can be fully achieved at the expense of the other.
"Liberty, in consequence, is socially indivisible." he said.
Prof. Harris outlined the historical origins of democracy which he referred to as the essential ideals of western civilization.
THE GREEKS WERE the first to challenge authoritarianism, and conceive political liberty, rule by majority vote, and constitutional government.
The Romans recognized that their citizens had rights which the law must protect. Their legal system was the first to have universal applicability.
"THE PRINCIPLES of human relationship and conduct enunciated by Christ are thus the principles of a democratic community," he added.
Christ urged fraternity as the only proper relationship between men, if a really free community is to be maintained. The doctrine is summed up in Christ's statement, "Ye are all brethren," the professor said.

'Geneva Talks to Be Giant Step'
By Jim Scheetz
MANHATTAN-Christian Herter, U.S. trade representative and former Secretary of State, climaxed the first of a two-day regional Common Market conference on the campus of Kansas State University yesterday.
After outlining the history of the GATT negotiations, Herter stated that the sixth round of negotiations known as the Kennedy Round—will open May 4 in Geneva.
Ambassador Herter, Dr. Hans Broder-krohs, director of Agricultural Economics of the Common Market; Kansas Sen. Frank Carlson, and Dr. Dag Humphrey, author and Tufts University professor, were among the more than 12 international experts discussing the economic and political implications of the European Common Market.
Speaking before an audience of 2,000 in Ahearn Fieldhouse, Herter stated that the success of the coming round of General Agreement on
"These negotiations are likely to be long and difficult." Herter said. "There are a number of major problems which will have to be solved before we can bring them to a successful conclusion.
Tariffs and Trade (GATT) talks in Geneva with the Common Market nations would be a giant step toward establishing a worldwide partnership for progress among the free nations.
JRP and Stephenson Plan Grudge Match
A "grudge match" between the championship College Bowl team from Stephenson Hall and the Joseph R. Pearson team will be at 2 p.m. Sunday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
"The grudge' is that JRP didn't get to meet Stephenson in the finals, although we played several practice matches before the competition," Thomas Winston, Dallas, Tex., senior, a JRP resident said.
"The Common Market is engaged in replacing the individual agricultural system of its six-member nations by a common agricultural policy applying to all of them." Herter said. "The shape this policy takes is obviously a matter of great concern to us."
No classes were cancelled for the conference. However, students could be excused from classes upon request.
