Bicentennial plans revised
The bicentennial activities planned by the University of Kansas and presented to the American Revolution Bicentennial Administrative Revision rehearsal george revisions the past month.
W. Stitt Robinson, professor of history and chairman of the KU Bicentennial Committee, said Tuesday that it was necessary to plan the proposed activities would take place.
According to Robinson, lack of funds was the reason some of the activities were dropped from the program of Bicentennial activities at KU, which was approved as a Bicentennial Campus at the beginning of the fall semester.
Plans for a KANU radio program about the Potawatomi Indians of Kansas and the sculpture of a Memorial Statue depicting a Native American woman wielded because of a lack of funds, he said.
It is questionable, Robinson said, whether the KU Symphonic Band will be able to duplicate the last tour of the John Philip Sousa Band, which went through 16 cities in Kansas and in the East. The band lacks the $15,000 needed for the project.
Landscaping plans for the Pioneer Cemetery, west of campus, had not yet been built. A few years later would include beautification of the cemetery and the installation of sidewalks.
A program by carillonneur Albert Gerken is planned for June and July.
Several lectures and Bicentennial exhibits are scheduled for the remainder of the semester, including geological exhibits showing the history of energy in Kansas and a display on Adam Smith, author of "Wealth of Nations," which was published in 1776.
Also, to supplement the annual fireworks display in Memorial Stadium July 4, KU will take advantage of its summer music program and offer a full program before the fireworks display.
Traffic court altered
Henry Sunday, chief justice of the court and Overland Park law student, said recently that the changes were imprecisely a response to a large backlog of court cases.
The University of Kansas traffic court has eliminated prosecution counsel representing the University and hopes to find a judge with badges on the strain on the present appeal system.
The waiting period now for an appeal to be heard is from four to six months, he said.
The number of reported crimes in Lawrence rose 23.5 per cent in 1975, comparing unfavorably with the national indicator of homicides in the FBI's 1975 Uniform Crime Reports.
FBI survey shows crime increase here
The local figure also compares unfavorably with the average 9 per cent increase reported by other cities in the 25,000-50,000 population range.
The FBI suggested that although crime continues to rise, the rate of increase is still low.
in Lawrence, assaults went down 57.4 per cent, robberies declined almost 50 per cent and petit larcenes dropped slightly. There were also serious crime rose or remained the same.
crease was half the 18 per cent surge recorded a year earlier.
rapes were up 25 per cent, aggravated
assistance increased to $30 per cent and man-
ufacturer costs fell.
The homicide rate didn't change. The two reported homicides, the shooting of Sally Spears in January and the death of Vincent Sneller in July, were both cleared, which means arrests were made and trials followed.
Both concerts will be in Bohch Auditorium.
The concert tickets will be sold for $5 and
$6 in the STL.
Mike Miller, SU advisor, said yesterday he one more concert for this spring would be in New York.
Dave Loggins will appear in concert with Laura Nyro on April 17, and Bonnie Raitt and Mose Allison will appear on April 29 at KU.
Loggins, Raitt, Nyro to appear
The KU Police Department issued 28,361 parking tickets, excluding tickets voided due to errors, from July 1, 1975 to Jan. 23, 1976. Sunday said. From September 1975 to mid-February 1976, he said, the court heard between 500 and 600 appeals on those cases. The court deals only with nonniving traffic violations.
Allison is an established jazz blues singer, pianist and song writer.
because of a shortage of personnel and the extremely heavy case load.
writer and interpreter of contemporary songs. The New York Times predicted that she could be "the premiere female vocalist of today's rock."
Other crimes that increased were grand thefts, by 35 percent; auto thefts, by 35 percent; burglary and burglaries.
Rattt performed at KU in February 1974. since then she has gained popularity as a performer and actress.
City police had less success in solving and clearing crimes in 1975 than they did in 1974. In 1975, they cleared 11.7 per cent of the reported crimes, by arrests or by recovery of stolen property, a 4 per cent drop from 1974.
Loggins opened the Jose Feliciano concert at KU in October 1974 and will appear with Laura Nyro, called by some "the high priestess of white soul."
Aggravated assaults showed the highest rate of, 48.1 per cent. Petit larcenies were the least solved crimes with a rate of, 25.9 per cent, followed by burglars, with 5.7 per cent.
Miller said SUA had contracted the performers through promotional agencies and estimated that the cost for each performance would range from $5,000 to $7,500.
More than half of the appellants appeared in person before the court, which is composed of 12 second-year law students, Sunday said. In the past, the University was represented by first-year law students who served as the prosecution in appeals. Now, to save time, tickets themselves serve as proof of guilt. The student been disbecked. Appellants are furnished with first-year law students for defense counsel, as they have been in the past.
Sunday said the new procedure had been in effect for two weeks, for only two court sessions. The effect of the rate change on the number of nullified tickets is hard to determine, he said, but the change shouldn't make much difference.
From 40 to 50 per cent of the tickets that have been appealed are nullified by the court, Sunday said. A usual reason given is that a person showed the court sufficient mitigating circumstances to warrant nullifying his ticket.
Sunday said he thought the Student Senate would approve the addition of three more judges to the court next fall, a move that would help to eliminate the case backlog.
The court convenes 16 or 17 times a semester and the judges separate into groups of three to hear the cases.
Under current University regulations, a person has 14 days to file an appeal with the court. No appeals can be filed after the 14-day period. If the appeal is filed in writing, the court will send its decision to the appellant in the mail. If the appellant wishes the court to notify him of his court date. Those who make appeals won't have holds put on their files during enrollment, if a ruling is pending on the case.
Hypnotism . . .
From page one
The trick, Holmes said, was that he had placed the chairs closer together than before, with his shoulders now supported by one of them. Most of the weight was thus carried by his legs and shoulders rather than by his midsection.
Holmes' point was that all the effects of hypnosis could be accomplished without hypnosis, by using other means of natural suggestion, he said.
The study of hypnosis is more than the fun and games that his demonstrations might
imply, Holmes said, because it has to do with understanding the human personality of others.
IN NATURAL childbirth children, expectant mothers are constantly told that birth is an exciting prospect for women and that the women to reinterpret their sensations, Holmes said.
When a soldier loses an arm on the battlefield, it isn't unexpected and the soldier experiences less pain than an industrial worker who loses an arm in a shock accident.
"It's just the way they approach pain," Holmes said.
