Hotz plans appearance ;
joins Bernstein, Urey
Dr. Alfred Hotz, professor of history and political science,
will join Leonard Bernstein, conductor of the New York
Philharmonic Orchestra and Dr. Harold Urey, noted atomic
scientist from the University of California, in speaking before
a regional conference of the American Assembly, Nov. 5-8
at Ohio University, Athens,
Ohio.
THEME OF THE conference
will be "Cultural Affairs and
Foreign Policy." The Ameri-can
Assembly conferences
were established by Dwight D.
Eisenhower while he was
president of Columbia Uni-versity.
Sixty civic and busi-ness
leaders representing
major industries in Penn-sylvania,
Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Michigan will
take part in the conference
which will serve as a guide-post
in establishing future
U.S. foreign policy.
Bernstein will represent the
areas of art and music,
Urey the scientific community,
and Hotz, the educational
field during the discussions.
Each will lecture and take
part in discussion groups con-cerning
his field with the
business leaders. A represen-tative
from the U.S. Informa-tion
Agency will also take
part.
THE THREE GUEST
lecturers will subsequently
digest the discussions of the
conference in a published
report which will be made
available to foreign policy
formulators.
If the presidential election
were held today, Lyndon
Johnson would be elected by
Augustana students accord-ing
to a straw vote taken by
the Mirror.
A straw vote was taken
last week to sample student
reaction toward the 1964
election. Three hundred stu-dents
were selected at
random to indicate their pre-ference
for president, gover-nor,
and representative.
OUT OF 300 question-aires,
78 were returned to the
Augustana Mirror. Forty who
answered considered them-selves
Republicans, 19 demo-crates
and 19 Independents.
Students were asked to
indicate their preference for
candidates on the national
level.

It would appear Republi-cans
deserted their party
more often than democrats.
The Independents make the
difference for Johnson in this
Republican stronghold.

ISB disbands
society, lack of
members reason
Sigma Tau Omega society
was formally disbanded at the
society's request this week.
Intersociety Board took this
action in a special meeting
held Monday, October 26.
In other action the board
voted to allow the active
members of the disbanded
society to become members of
another campus society.
THE DISBANDMENT
action was taken under the
board's own initiative as
disbanding of societies is
not covered in the consti-tution.
The board then voted
to allow, in this specific
case, the members of the
society to become active in
another society. This action
was necessary since the ISB
constitution says that no one
who has in the past been an
active member in another
society.
Burt Augst, president of
ISB, said that the action
taken could have far reaching
ramifications. A precedent
has been created in voting for
the disbandment of a society.
THE ACTION leaves the
Omega socrety unaffiliated
with any women's society on
camp's. It was stressed how-ever
that affiliation is tradi-tional
and not legal.
The Board felt that action
was necessary since only one
member remained in the
society.

a poll of a cross
