Single game basketball tickets for KU students will sell for 50 cents this season instead of the $1 which was charged during previous seasons, it was announced today by Monti Johnson, assistant athletic director, and Curt Heinz, Topeka senior and ASC Athletic Seating Board chairman.
Nov. 17 and athletic department officials said additional student season tickets could not be sold.
The single game tickets will be sold at Allen Field House from 8:30 a.m. to noon and from 1:30 to 5 p.m. the day before the games. When games are to be played on Mondays, the single game tickets will be sold to KU students the day of the game.

The non-student spouse price for single game tickets will be 75 cents this season, compared to the $1.25 which was charged in the past. Johnson said.
Johnson added that the ASC Athletic Seating Board and the Athletic Director allow student season basketball tickets to be transferred to other KU students, but season tickets may not be sold or given to non-KU students.
The 7,000 season tickets available to KU students were sold out
"If the student is 'average' and misses four home games, he will not spend any more than he would have for a student ticket."
Johnson said 500 single game tickets will be available to KU students for each home basketball game. "If a student wants to go to all 12 home games, the total cost will only be $6 as compared to $4 for a season ticket," Johnson said.

Student fee raise unlikely
By Monte Mace Kansan Staff Reporter
KU student fees probably won't be raised in the near future and an economy-minded Congress may reduce federal aid to KU and other universities.
Both predictions came during a meeting of the KU branch of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) Tuesday evening in the Kansas Room of the Union.
The subject of the meeting was financing of KU, and a panel of professors, questioned state and Mt. Orend finance officials.
Max Bickford, executive officer of the Board of Regents, said the present student fee level is expected to be maintained in the next four years.
On the national level, Congressional pressure on President
The amount of the university budget provided by fees should average 25 per cent of educational programs. he said. Student fees have risen twice in the last six years.
--by State Budget Director James Bibb. The action is not final, however. Final approval of the budget comes next January by the legislature and Gov. Robert B. Docking will make recommendations before then.
WEATHER
The U.S. Weather Bureau predicts partly cloudy tonight and Thursday. The low tonight should be near 25.
Johnson to tighten his budgetary belt may affect federal aid to higher education, said Vice-chancellor of finance Raymond Nichols.
He told the group that $7 million, or nearly one-fourth of KU's $30 million budget this year is supplied by federal agencies.
After citing examples of grant funds already cut off, Nichols said: "There are troubled times ahead."
Certain student aid, such as NDEA loans and Educational Opportunity Grant, are funded by the federal government.
The AAUP meeting followed a budget hearing at Topeka last week in which nearly $1 million was trimmed from KU's budget
Bickford told the professors' association that Kansas ranked as one of the most generous states in per capita support of higher education five years ago but now has slipped to 21st.
Vice-chancellor Nichols agreed, saying the university is underfunded.
"We're considered No. 1 in mental health," he said, "I wish we had that pride in our education."

LBJ appoints KU prof
A KU professor has been named by President Johnson to be one of three new members of the board of foreign scholarsh ps which sets the policies for the State department international education exchange program.
John P. Augelli, professor of geography and director of Latin American studies, was appointed along with Seymour Martin Lipset, professor of sociology at Harvard, and Paul Seabury, professor of political science at the University of California at Berkeley.
Reappointed to the board was Teruo Ihara, associate professor of education at the University of Hawaii.
The 12-member board, under chairman of John Hope Franklin of the department of history at the University of Chicago, makes the final section of about 5.50 academic applicants who get annual grants to study, lecture, research or teach in the United States and abroad under the exchange program.
They will serve for three years until Sept. 23, 1970.
easily with 6175 "yes" votes and 2543 "no" votes.
The swimming pool bond squeezed by 4615 to 4071.
The air terminal issue was voted down 1798 to 6727. The garage-warehouse complex issue failed 2985 to 5556.
A total of 8,776 votes were cast in Tuesday's election. There were 12,543 people eligible to vote.
The sale of bonds for the approved issues will start immediately, said David L. Kohlman, chairman of the KU aerospace engineering department and University chairmen of the Lawrence Citizens for Progress.
The election asked for $370,000 in bonds for two fire stations. The stations will serve the population of Lawrence which has more than doubled in the past 17 years while its service facilities have remained unchanged.
The swimming pool issue was the least expensive of the four proposals at $150,000. The pool will be located in the center of the city, said Mayor Richard Raney.
The proposal for a swimming pool has been brought up three times before in the last ten years but had been defeated each time. The last election on this issue was in 1963.
Mayor Raney said he believes the proposal was defeated the other times because of the location not because of the integration factor.
"In this kind of proposal, there are bound to be some who use the race issue as an excuse, and are happy to hang their hats on it. However, I think this represents an insignificant minority," he said.
The pool was set for the southeast corner of the city in the 1963 bond issue and Raney said that would have made it hard to reach. He said he was sure the central location of this year's issue would satisfy everybody.
The $300,000 in bonds for a new air transport center were recommended by the city commissioners as necessary to attract new industry and small businesses looking for factories and outlets. They said businesses might not consider Lawrence because of the airport, which City Hall has termed unsafe.
The $935,000 requested for a garage-warehouse complex was to have centralized the facilities of the park and sanitation departments. This would save the taxpayers money, said City Hall,
Members of KU's faculty and administration have served on the Citizen's Committee to help promote interest for the bond issue. The Citizens Advisory Committee included William Smith, dean of the school of engineering, and Mrs. Francis Heller, wife of KU's acting provost and dean of faculty.
Mayor Raney said the bond issue was important to not only those instructors, administrators or married students who pay taxes in Lawrence, but also to all KU students.
"This is their town for nine months out of the year. City progress is a matter of the attitude each individual is willing to take. I like to think KU is a total part of this community. So their attitude is very important," said Raney.
'Make that offer again'
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, beset with budget problems, jokingly hinted at a recent Kansas City alumni meeting that Pepper Rodgers should apply for Wescoe's job.
Rodgers, addressing the alumni, said he came to KU because he wanted to be chancellor, "but they made me football coach instead."
Wescole jumped to his feet and told Rodgers: "Make that offer again, Pepper."
'Seventh step' reduces repeaters
By Tim Jones Kansan Staff Reporter
Approximately 200,000 faceless numbered men and women live in 358 state prisons in the United States at an annual cost to taxpayers of $385 million.
State prison populations increased from 165,632 in 1955 to 201,220 in 1966.
Cost per prisoner ranges from $1,300 in the south to $2,650 in the northeast.
If inmates in federal and county penitentiaries are included the total population reaches 500,000.
Approximately 60,000 state prisoners are released for parole each year and another 20,000 are unconditionally released.
Many of these—estimates range from 33 to 80 percent—return to a life of crime and imprisonment.
Why they began a life of crime and their reasons for returning to it after punishment has been a problem facing penologists for a long time.
Since the realization of the need for examining the causes of criminal behavior men have been trying to improve the penal system.
The days of debtor prisons, the torture chamber and burnings at the stake are over, yet the crimes continue.
In the late 18th century experiments were begun in the rehabilitation of prisoners. Time off for "good behavior" in prison has developed from those early experiments.
Late in the 19th century men began to psycho-analyze the criminal mind. The belief that a criminal was psychologically "sick" became a prevalent theory and psychoanalytic treatment was made available for prisoners.
This theory has been disproved. Overwhelmingly statistics show those not treated act no better or no worse than those undergoing the treatment when they are released.
Blame is now being placed on the environment and circumstances of the individual person. These circumstances may be psychological or sociological but environment has been constantly blamed.
It is well known that although crime is committed by people on all economic levels, the largest number of major crimes are committed in low-income, densely-populated areas.
There are a number of federal, state and local programs underway to alleviate the conditions that foster crimes.
But what is to be done with those who have not benefited from these programs? What about
