KU ignores 'Velvet Ball'
The Velvet Plastic Ball didn't bounce—it flopped.
Only about 30 people paid the $3 admission price to hear the Crystalline Silence Band and watch the Inner Trip light show Friday night at the National Guard Armory.
"We were told Lawrence is a real hip town," said Aaron Shatzman, manager of the band and light show, "but we're losing our shirts tonight."
Shatzman said the producer of the Velvet Plastic Ball priced the tickets too high, did not provide enough advance publicity and held the dance on a weekend when many students were in Boulder for the Kansas-Colorado football game.
"Listen to that sound. Have you
ever heard such a great group?" Shatzman asked.
"Last month we put on a concert that turned into a dance. Then we played at a dance and everybody sat down to listen.
Afterward they applauded. The dance chairman told us that was the first time a rock band had ever been applauded at that college.
"With this group you never can tell what will happen," Shatzman said.
dancing around by himself, his eyes closed.
"Two policemen came in for a few minutes and watched from the door as a spontaneous basketball game began. Six people raced up and down the court passing an invisible ball.
"Oh, well, we may have driven through the rain from St. Louis and had car trouble getting here tonight, but next we play for the crowd after the St. Louis Hawks basketball game. Already 12,000 tickets have been sold," Shatzman said.
"No straight dress please," said the ad, and those who came obeyed the rule. One girl had fluorescent designs painted on her face, arms, legs and stomach. A boy wore a Mexican serape while
He looked at the dwindling audience, sighed and told the band it could leave at 11 p.m.
RUNAWAY
A truck belonging to the Vincent Bahm Salvage Co., rolled down a hill, over a ledge, and into Malott Hall about noon Saturday. The emergency brake failed to hold while the truck was parked behind Old Robinson. Workers were loading re-usable steel girders into the truck at the time. Malott was not damaged.

WASHINGTON—(UPI)—Members of the House and Senate, anxious to go home but increasingly fearful they may well be here until Christmas, this week will consider major social welfare programs.
Senate agenda
Unresolved are bills authorizing and appropriating funds for another year's war on poverty, increasing Social Security benefits and revising welfare assistance, providing funds for federal aid to elementary and secondary schools, and supplying money for foreign economic and military aid.
The Senate this week hopes to approve a three-year, $15 billion extension of an aid-to-education program that concentrates on improving the quality of schools serving the poor. It also plans to get out of the way another House-passed measure, a $2.3 billion military construction appropriation.
The Senate also intends to debate, but not act on, a housepassed Social Security bill to boost old age benefits and bring about sweeping changes in assistance to the poor. The Senate Finance Committee approved a three-step 15 per cent hike in benefits; the House a 12.5 per cent boost. Both pieces of legislation would require that more money be withheld from an employee's paychecks.
President Johnson's anti-poverty authorization was monopolizing the House's attention. He asked for $2.06 billion for the fiscal year that started last July 1 which is the amount the House Education and Labor Committee voted him.
Administration leaders fear that figure will be lowered considerably in this bill or in the subsequent appropriation bill that provides the actual money. The Senate has passed a $2.25 billion authorization bill.

Harvard Business School Visitor
Mr. Richard T. Johnson, a member of the Admissions Board of the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, will visit the University of Kansas on Tuesday, November 14th, to talk to students interested in business as a career of excitement and creative opportunity.
Requirements for admission to the two-year course, leading to a degree of Master in Business Administration (MBA), include a college degree in any field of concentration, a standing in at least the top third of the class, and a record of progressive achievement in campus activities, business, the military, or elsewhere.
The MBA Program at the Harvard Business School is based on the experience-oriented case method, pioneered at the Harvard Business School to develop the practical, analytical, and decision-making capacities that are the key to managerial effectiveness.
For outstanding students in each first-year class (of roughly 690) there are 60 fellowships available. Approximately, 40 per cent of the Harvard Business School student body also makes use of the Deferred Payment or Loan Program which enables all students admitted to the Harvard MBA Program to attend even though their sources of funds are inadequate.
Seniors, or others, wishing to talk to Mr. Johnson should contact the Placement Office for an appointment.
