After-touchdown bombs to return
After-touchdown aerial bombs have vanished from Memorial Stadium-but not because of Big Eight reprimand.
Vince Bilotta, alumni association field director, said his office was approached early this semester by senior class officers who wanted permission to buy a shotgun-type exploding device.
The "portable cannon" would replace the aerial (exploding) bombs that have been launched after Jayhawk touchdowns the past two years. Permission was granted and the use of aerial bombs has been discontinued.
The senior class has had no luck finding the device they had in mind, so they decided to drop the matter, Bruder Stapleton, Fort Scott, class president, said.
Wade Stinson, KU athletic director, said the aerial bombs can be dangerous in wet weather. The bombs were used last at the KU-Ohio football game this year. At that game the operator of the device was nearly struck in the head by a blast that discharged too quickly, Stinson said.
Stinson said aerial bombs will be exploded after KU touchdowns in the homecoming game with K-State, Saturday, if weather permits.
Congressman Winn to speak on Vietnam
Kansas Congressman Larry Winn Jr. will take part in a discussion on Vietnam, organized and moderated by a KU student, Bernhard Ewert, Fairway senior. The discussion will be at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Village Church, 67th Street and Mission Road, Prairie Village.
The program will be divided into three sections. First will be a 20-minute analysis of historical and contemporary foreign policy by Congressman Winn, followed by a panel discussion by four area citizens. They will take questions from the floor about any area of Vietnam policy.
The panel will consist of Harold Edlund, a businessman and president of the Prairie school board; Mrs. Robert Buehler, active in community affairs; Stan Rose, an area publisher; and Rev. Thomas Underwood, minister of the Cherokee Christian Church.
During the final part of the program, Congressman Winn will take questions and opinions from the floor. The Republican congressman is a KU graduate, and as a student he was editor of the Kansan, and a member of Sigma Delta Chi. He now has three sons attending the university.
Engineering prof authors book
Ernest E. Angino, associate professor of civil engineering and geochemistry chief of the State Geological Survey at KU is coauthor of "Methods in Geochemistry and Geophysics," just issued by the international publishing house of Elsevier.
With Gale K. Billings of Louisiana State University, Angino
prepared the 144-page compilation of examples of atomic absorption analytical methods for geological materials.
Angino holds M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from KU and has been here for 10 years, except 1962-65, when he was on the oceanography faculty of Texas A&M University.
Student soldiers study at KU
Fifty-seven Naval enlisted men, including eight Marincs are studying at KU.
The men, part of the Naval Science Enlisted Program (NSEP) are under normal control of the service but live as any other student.
They do not live in barracks, they do not wear uniforms, except on special occasions, but they are still members of the Navy or Marines. They must
abide by all the military rules including suffering periodic inspections.
As members of the service the NSEP students must check in regularly with the Naval ROTC office in the Military Science building. The men take competitive promotion tests and receive promotions while they attend KU.
Most of the enlisted men study in the fields of science, engineering and mathematics. After graduation they are commissioned as officers in their respective services.
To qualify for the program servicemen take competitive exams, must have a good record in the service and must have a pay grade of E-4. (equivalent to an Army corporal).
Most NSEP students serve about four years of active duty before qualifying for the program. More of them come from the
King 'comfortable' in jail
One of King's aides charged earlier today that the Besserman jail where King is being held is unsafe, and he demanded that the civil rights leader he transferred to the county's mail jail in downtown Birmingham.
A source at the jail said King commented on how comfortable he and three other prisoners in his cell were during Monday night. They were fed what the source described only as a "standard" jailhouse breakfast when they awoke today.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—(UPI)—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., jailed in a town described as a Ku Klux Klan "stronghold," spent a "very comfortable" first night in confinement, sources said early today.
"Bessemer itself is a stronghold
King's followers threatened massive demonstrations unless he is transferred to a "safer" jail, but no incidents marked the first night of the civil rights leader's five-day jail sentence for contempt of court.
Many of them come from the Navy's nuclear power program.
Mohamed Behravesh, senior from Iran, has been elected president of the Iranian Student Organization.
Iranian students plan organization
Reza Sharifi, sophomore, was elected vice president; and Feraidoon Farokh, graduate student, secretary-treasurer.
Farokh said the organization's main purpose this year would be to unite and centralize Persian students from KU, K-State, Wichita State University, and Highland Junior College in Highland.
The organization is planning social activities for Persian students from these schools to celebrate such holidays as the Iranian New Year—the first day of spring.
Besides the 57 undergraduates, there are seven officers in graduate school here, including one Ph.D. candidate.

Dr. King and three other civil rights leaders were unexpectedly jailed at Bessemer, 18 miles west of Birmingham.
