SAGE accepts Wescoe offer
By Beth Gaeddert Kansan Staff Reporter
The Student Association of Graduates in English (SAGE) voted Monday night to accept Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe's offer to give "first preference to graduate teaching assistants" seeking residence in Stouffer Place apartments.
The problem comes in defining "teaching assistants."
SAGE took its 30-page report requesting an across-the-board increase in salaries, remission of University fees, and an income tax exemption for "assistant instructors in the English department" to Chancellor Wescoe Friday. It also asked for a raise in the $2,300 base pay.
Dave Holden, Winona, Minn,
graduate student and SAGE
chairman, said that any University action to help assistant instructors should have to include all other "teaching assistants."
The 17 SAGE members present responded by expressing approval of representing all "teaching assistants" because, they decided, "small groups get things done while large ones can't."
The tax exemptions request has met with the most success in the organization. In a letter to SAGE Chancellor Wescoe said, "in February a mechanism whereby stipends for those pursuing work toward the Ph.D. may be tax exempt (this would apply, of course, under Federal tax laws, only where teaching is a requirement for the degree)."
A statement by the Chancellor to SAGE said "What can be done by way of the 1968-69 year will

ANOTHER BUCKET FOR KU'S LUCKY 13
KU center Dave Nash gracefully lays up one of his 8 baskets as Stanford's Bill Palmer tries vainly to block the shot. Nash, wearing uniform number 13, carries the same number worn by past KU All-Americans Wilt Chamberlain, now the star of the Philadelphia 76ers, and Walter Wesley, who is in his second year with the Cincinnati Royals. Nash scored 19 points against Stanford while holding the two Stanford centers to a combined 4 points.

A small guest at the Templin Hall children's Christmas party rambles off his desires as another boy waits his turn on Santa's lap. David Zornes, Iola junior, was apparently a convincing Santa Claus to the youngsters.
Wiley retiring, at KU 33 years
After 33 years at KU, Russell L. Wiley will retire as director of bands.
During his years here, Wiley originated KU band day, now an annual event, and the Midwestern Music and Art Camp held on the KU campus every summer.
Wiley is retiring from his present position to devote full-time responsibility to the camp.
Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts, said that the "growth of the music and art camp to the second largest high school summer program in the
United States makes the directorship a full-time activity."
Kenneth G. Bloomquist, associate professor and assistant to Wiley since 1958, will become director of bands. He has been director of the marching and pep bands since he came to KU.
The Midwestern Music and Art Camp, which is preparing for its 31st season, now has an enrollment of more than 2,000 junior and senior high school students.
Wiley started the first camp during the summer of 1936 in a rented fraternity house, he said.
Western Civilization exam to be given on January 6
The Western Civilization examination at 1 p.m. Jan. 6 will cover some of the old and some of the new program readings.
Centennial College students and those who have completed an accelerated single semester program will take the special exam in Oliver Hall's dining room.
Students who received no previous Western Civilization credit can earn four credit hours by passing the test, James E. Seaver,
director of the Western Civilization program, said. A total of six credit hours are possible, including credits earned in discussion classes and determined by the comprehensive examination.
More than 560 students and 150 Centennial College students have registered to take the examination, Seaver said. Requests for late registration can be made in the Western Civilization office in 425 Blake Hall.

Room assignments for participants are issued at registration. The upcoming examination retains the 25 per cent multiple choice, 25 per cent short answer and 50 per cent essay tradition.
Those who fail the test can audit the course next semester but will have to take an examination based entirely on the revised reading program.
Review sessions for the exam will be given from 7:15 to 9 p.m. Jan.3 and 4 in 411 Summerfield Hall.
The examination is a graduation requirement for students in the college of liberal arts and the schools of education, journalism and chemical engineering.
Wiley is a native of Texas. He earned a degree in violin at Phillips University, Okla., and worked in bands at Simmons University and Randolph College before coming to KU.
On Wiley's 25th anniversary as leader of the KU band, his former students created a $2,500 scholarship endowment in his honor.

Architectural photos on exhibit in January
Seventy-five works by 12 nationally - known architectural photographers will be shown at KU by the department of architecture Jan.4-14. The public exhibit will be on the third floor of Marvin Hall.
The exhibit, now on a coast-tocoast tour, is made up of photographs which illustrate the current trends in building throughout the country as interpreted by some of the most illustrious names in architecture today. The prints are in both black and white and color.
Architectural photography is a specialty and most of the successful photographers in this field do no other type of work.
