Dean Emily Becomes Bunny At Scholarship Dinner

Absurdity broke loose at the Summerfield-Watkins dinner last night. Departing from the usual program of a symposium discussion, a committee of senior scholars staged a "happening."
WHILE BANANA CREAM pie was being served, a simultaneous reading of foreign-language classies (in the wrong language) began. Several students walked out
Reuben McCornack, Abilene senior, with cigar, red carnation, and wide necktie, harangued: "I am the man! I am the greatest!"
The committee began arranging the scholars according to their grade point averages. "A 6.0? That's the highest so far."
Everyone stood as the Star Spangled Banner was played wailingly on a clarinet, with moanful bassoon accompaniment.
A BALLET DANCER performed before a movie screen showing home movies of dogs and cats.
A Daily Kansan reporter interviewed celebrities, finding that Emily Taylor, dean of women, is "lukewarm about Margaret Chase Smith and feels women should stay in their place; the kitchen."
A pregnant Watkins scholar scrubbed floors while boys distributed down slips from a ladder.
After the confusion died down, Breon Mitchell, Salina senior, explained that the program was an expression of the new "pop art."
"IN THE HAPPENING,' the audience is the medium for the artist's expression. This summed up KU and especially the Summerfield-Watkins dinners," Mitchell explained.
The whole thing was over in little more than an hour. The participants went away wondering if, indeed, we are heading toward absurdity.
New Hampshire Opens Racing Lottery
SALEM, N. H. — (UPI) — New Hampshire entered the gambling business today with the nation's first lettery of the 20th Century.
Gov. John W. King will buy the very first sweepstakes ticket at Rockingham Park horse race track.
The state hopes to sell $10 million worth of them by Sept. 12.
The way was cleared for the fiscal experiment Tuesday when voters approved the nation's first lottery in 70 years by a 114,987 to 31,127 vote.
THE STATE PLANS to give away 40 per cent of its total sales with top prizes of $100,000 for every $1 million of tickets sold. There also will be hundreds of lesser prizes in each million dollar series.
Proceeds from the sweepstakes will go for educational purposes.
Thirty-six electronic machines to sell the tickets will be set up at Rockingham. Another 200 will be put in the 49 liquor stores, which are run by the state.
Edward J. Powers, former FBI agent in charge of New England and director of the sweepstakes program, said three other machines at the race track will handle volume sale—for more than 10 tickets. At these special booths the buyer can give the clerk a list of names and the money. He can return later to pick up his tickets.
THERE IS NO maximum number of tickets that can be bought.
After tonight's kickoff ceremony the tickets will be sold daily, except
Sunday, from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m.
at the track.
Also on hand for the program, besides King and Powers, will be Rep. Lawrence Pickett, D-Keene, who sponsored the bill and battled for its passage. He had suggested such a bill for the past 11 years in the legislature, but was defeated each time.
Launching of the sweepstake coincides with the opening day of the 1964 harness racing season in New Hampshire.
THE VOTERS were asked if they wanted the sweepstakes tickets sold in their towns, liquor stores or race tracks, the only places where the $3 tickets will be sold. No sweepstakes tickets will be sold outside of New Hampshire.
Out-of-state persons wishing to buy tickets must either come to New Hampshire, leaving their names and addresses on the tickets, or must arrange with a friend within the state to buy them. However, strict federal postage laws regarding lotteries could limit this method. No test case has been made.
Powers said he was "delighted and pleased with the response of the voters" to the sweepstakes, which faced stiff political and social opposition.
POWERS SAID he had no intention of buying the $10 federal gambling tax stamp required for some forms of gambling.
SALGON—(UPI)—Defense Secretary Robert McNamara today wound up his inspection tour of the Vietnamese guerrilla war and prepared a report to give President Johnson on his return to Washington.
McNAMARA'S MISSION has been overshadowed by the excitement caused here by Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge's New Hampshire presidential primary victory. Lodge said yesterday he was honored by the results but had no plans to resign or return to the United States in the near future.
"If the Internal Revenue Service says that we must purchase a tax
Attention returned to the guerrilla war today. A military spokesman reported a new outburst of Communist attacks that cost the government 29 dead.
stamp we will do so under protest because we contend that we do not come under the intent of the federal Wagering Act since ours is a state regulated program where the proceeds are going to education." Powers said.
Betore his departure, he scheduled another meeting with junta chairman Maj. Gen. Nguyen Khanh, whom he has promised full support for the fight against the Communist Viet Cong.
One attack took place early today in Binh Duong province 30 miles north of Saigon. Two government militiamen were killed and nine were wounded.
If it is determined the state falls under the 10 per cent gambling excise tax, the state legislature has provided that the price of the ticket could be boosted to $3.30 to compensate for any loss of educational revenue.
The worst setback for the government came Monday night in a Viet Cong raid in Ba Xuyen province south of Saigon. Twenty-one government troops were killed.
McNamara Ends Tour of Viet Nam
The total wounded from all the attacks was 48 and another 15 government soldiers were listed missing. In addition, the guerrillas captured 21 carbines, 2 submachine guns, and an automatic rifle.
ONE OF THE subjects McNamara discussed with Khanh, Lodge, and U.S. military commander Gen. Paul D. Harkins was the need for more weapons for South Viet Nam's second-line defense forces.
These forces, the National Guard, hamlet militia, and other units, are the key to Khanh's new plan to hold territory captured from the Communists.
Informed sources said about 8,000 weapons have been lost to the Communists in hundreds of attacks like those disclosed today.
Throughout the visit, McNamara stressed these two points—the United States, which has 15,000 troops serving here as military advisers, will continue its support of the war; and it firmly backs the six-week old government of Khanh.
