Out before Christmas
Class to pick HOPE winner
The winner of the HOPE award is expected to be announced before Christmas for the first time since its inception, Bruder Stapleton, senior class president, said Tuesday.
The award, given by the senior class each year to an "outstanding KU teacher," usually is presented in the spring.
But this year the class heirarchy decided to announce the winner earlier to afford students a better chance of meeting the honored teacher.
Stapleton said in past years a
committee selected the teacher alone, but this year's nominations were made by the seniors at their traditional coffee in October.
Later, at the senior party, the class voted for teachers whom they thought worthy of the coveted award.
The planning committee headed by Ron Gann, Wichita, and Janice Mendenhall, both Wichita seniors, took sixteen top nominations and began researching their histories at the university.
Gann said the committee is looking for previous awards won by the teachers and contributions, the nominees have made to both students and KU.
The winner will receive more recognition this year than in the past. The committee has increased the monetary award to $300 from $100 and will include a pen and pencil desk set, Stapleton said.
A special project undertaken by the planning committee, is the establishment of a metallic plaque on which the names of past winners will be engraved.
'Secret Service agent knew of a conspiracy'
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — (UPI)—Lawyer and author Mark Lane, following two days of interviews with an imprisoned former Secret Service agent, charged Tuesday that the Secret Service knew of a conspiracy to kill President Kennedy before the assassination.
An avowed critic of the Warren Commission's report, Lane said the commission would never have found that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone if it "had heard the story in full detail" as told by Abraham Bolden, a former Secret Service agent now being held at the Federal Medical Center here.
Lane also said plans to assassinate Kennedy in a city other than Dallas were reported to the Secret Service and he indicated that city was Chicago. He said plans for a Kennedy visit to Chicago were "apparently canceled for that reason."
Lane, an assistant to New Orleans Dist. Atty. James Garrison and author of "Rush to Judgment," one of 46 books relating to the assassination, concluded two days of talks with Bolden Tuesday.
Bolden was the first Negro ever appointed to the White House detail. He is a graduate of Lincoln (Mo.) University and has a family living in Chicago.
Medical Center officials refused to give the charge on which Bolden was convicted but his attorney, John Hosmer, a former judge and prosecuting attorney in Webster County, Mo., said his client was imprisoned as a result of information he has on the assassination.
Lane called the two days of interviews with Bolden "the most significant events since the shots were fired at Dealy Plaza" where Kennedy was slain in Dallas Nov. 22, 1963.
"Bolden's disclosures add important and entirely independent corroboration to Garrison's conclusions," Lane said. He said he had no doubt Garrison would subpoena Bolden as a witness before a New Orleans grand jury.
"It appears that information regarding a conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy was given to the Secret Service shortly before the assassination.
"Evidently an attempt was made to assassina'e the president in a city other than Dallas shortly before Nov. 22, 1963. The attempt was reported to the Secret Service and the identities of those who planned the assassination are known to the Secret Service," he said.
