Journal-Standard, Saturday, October 23,1971 Area State Senate Seat In Political Spotlight By DUNCAN BIRDSELL Journal-Standard City Editor Political developments in the 1972 race for the 35th District state senatorial seat being vacated by Sen. Everett E. Laughlin of Freeport are drawing the interest of area political observers. Ogle County State's Atty. John B.

Roe of Oregon, who will run in the Republican primary, is the only announced candidate. One major question at present is whether a GOP candidate will materialize from Stephenson County. The seat has been held for many years by someone from the county. It is known that some Stephenson GOP precinct committeemen in the county would like to see a candidate emerge. There are also stirrings on the Demo- cratic side, although party leaders acknowledge that any aspirant would face an uphill battle in the traditionally Republican area.

However, the senatorial district was realigned in this year's reapportionment and Democratic strength could be on the rise. Additional suburban area in Winnebago County was added so that the district 'now includes all of the county except the city of Rockford. GOP-oriented Whiteside County was removed from the district. The 35th District now is composed of Stephenson, Jo Daviess and Carroll counties, all of Winnebago County except Rockford, all of Ogle County except two townships and the northern portion of Boone County. Roe made his formal announcement of candidacy at a luncheon at Freeport Veterans Day Monday; Local Observance Planned i For the average resident it may take some readjustment in thinking, but Veterans Day will be observed Monday rather than the long accustomed Nov.

He has developed a campaign organization in all counties of the district and has a running start on any candidates that will enter later.

The 35th District representative picture already has an assured contest in the Republican primary where incumbent Merle K. Anderson of Durand, Stephenson, County GOP Chairman Harlan Rigney of Red Oak and two Ogle County men, Harold Adams and Leon Vaupel, both of Davis Junction, are campaigning. Other prospective candidates are known to be considering a run, including County Board Supervisor Robert Kuntz of Freeport. On the Democratic side, incumbent Robert Brinkmeier of Forreston said this week that he probably will seek reelection and make a formal statement soon. The new state constitution provides that at least from each party be nominated" in the primary for the general election.

In past practice the Republicans put two candidates and the Democrats one on the general election ballot for the three 35th District seats.

Highland College Play Offers Modern Version Of A Classic By SHARON ANNE LANGE Journal-Standard Reporter Contemporary allusions and stage "business" were featured in the updating of the classic Aristophanes comedy "Lysistrata," which opened at the Winneshiek Playhouse to a full house Friday evening. The play was presented by Highland Community College. A majority of college-age students' attended the Greek comedy, which will again be presented to the public is 8:15. If "shock reaction" treatment was the goal of the HCC drama department, the updating was a success.

Focus On Endeavors It would appear that the acting potential as displayed by the college students could focus on better dramatic endeavors causing the cast to repeat everyday slang expressions. The local contemtorary version of the Greek play was what a viewer might consider All action takes place outside the Acropolis of Athens, Greece, in a token setting of brightly colored painted boxes and a single elevated platform and flats on either side of the stage. In an attempt to keep men in Greece from fighting wars, the women vow faithfully "not to sleep with their men" until peace is attained. Directing Play Directing the play is Miss Ruth Higgins. Assistant director is Bryan McKitrick.

The effectiveness of presentation by a group of college players of what had been described by the director as "a bawdy comedy" depends upon judicious understatement rather than "contemporary improvements" to make sure that even the least sensitive would not miss any point. Pam Kaufman was very good in her role as Lysistrata with a good delivery German Pastor To Speak At Pecatonica "The World Mission of the Church" is the theme of a series of talks to be presented by the Rev.

Italians Protest Census Takers Snooping ROME (AP) The government is conducting the first national head count in 10 years but some Italians are protesting that the census taker also is after information about extramarital sex and tax dodging.

One question on the 18-page form asks whether each member of the family was at home between Oct. 23 and 24, or "temporarily absent." It asks further whether any person not living at the address was "temporarily present" on the same night. "This question can be embarrassing in not a few cases," complained il Mes- saggero of Rome. Thomas Bucciarelli of Rome, head of the Rights Commission of the International Union of Lawyers, said the question should be eliminated. The census, he said, the last frontier of private life." Giuseppe De Meo, 65, president of the government statistics institute that is conducting the census, replied that the question was to find out exactly how many Italians there were on a certain date and to avoid double counting.

"When a group of people wants to be photographed it has to come together and keep still for an instant," he said. He said a recent census in Holland asked explicitly about sex habits. "What would Italians have said to that?" If there is anything an Italian treats with as much reserve as his sex life, it is his tax status. In this area the questionnaire ran into more criticism. Detailed questions about the size and quality of living quarters and about employment brought fears, as the left- wing Rome paper Paese Sera said, "that the computer of the census takers is a buddy of one of the tax collector." Italians notoriously evade taxes, a portion of which are levied according to living style.

The Finance Ministry on Friday pronounced itself "deeply indignant" over insinuations that it would use the census for tax information. The census results, it said, will be treated with "the most absolute secrecy." The statistics institute agreed. "What the citizen declares," if said, "cannot be released even to the president of the republic, not to speak of the Finance Ministry."
