University organizations are lining up guest speakers for the spring semester that range from controversial authors and noted educators to big businessmen.
Hunter Thompson, author of "Hell's Angels," "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and "Kona Trail" will speak at 8 p.m. Feb. 18 at the University of Hawaii. For information on Osmolak of Student Union Activity said.
Thompson, who has been described as a "strange potato" by critics, was a reporter for Time magazine for a year. He had assignments with the New York Herald
Tribune, the National Observer, High Times, the Nation and Ramparts. He also was national affairs editor for Rolling Stone.
SUA also has invited Tom Wolfe, author of the national best sellers "The Right Stuff," "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" and recently "The Pump House Gang." He will speak at p. 8m, April 15 in Hoch Auditorium. Wolfe won the American Book Award for
Wolfe won the American Book Award for general non-fiction with "The Right Stuff."
Silas, a member of the board of the American Petroleum Institute and the advisory board of the Institute of Gas Technology, is one in a series of speakers who is involved in large corporations, Osmolak said.
In addition, Osmolak said that Cecil J. Silas, chief executive officer and chairman of Phillips Petroleum, would speak and then hold a question-and-answer session at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 19 in Woodruff Auditorium in the Union.
The Humanities Lecture Series will present a lecture by Robert Bellah, chief author of "Habits of the Heart," at 8 p.m. April 6 in Woodruff Auditorium. His lecture is titled, "Memory and Hope in Our Common Life."
Bellah, Ford professor of sociology and comparative studies and vice chairman of the Center for Japanese and Korean Studies at the University of California at Berkeley, received the Harbison Award for Gifted
Teaching in 1971.
Stephen Jay Gould, best known as an evolutionary biologist, will present the third lecture in the KU History and Philosophy Lecture Series on Contemporary Thinking About Science at 8 p.m. April 7 in Woodruff Auditorium.
Gould, author of "Hen's Teeth and Horse's Toes" and "The Flamingo's Smile," is with the Laboratory of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University.
Richard Johnston, curator of the Museum of Natural History and a friend of Gould's, said that the author also was interested in paleontology, a science based on the study of
fossils.
"His lecture will be a double bonus because he is knowledgeable on the subject of the history of organisms and the history of science," Johnston said.
Another speaker, Forrest McDonald,
University of Alabama professor and noted
constitutional historian, has been named the
1987 Jefferson Lecturer, in the humanities.
KU and Washington, D.C. are McDonald's selected sites for his lecture, "The Intellectual World of the Founding Fathers."
His KU lecture is tentatively scheduled for 8 p.m. May 13. The location will be announced later.
