Rally supports anti-massage law

TOPEKA-A campaign aimed at shutting down massage parlors here got under way last night at a Baptist church amid shouts of "Amen," the singing of patriotic songs and a speech by Sedgwick County Dist. Atty. Vern Miller.
More than 250 persons, many of them children, rallied behind the newly formed Committee for a Decent Community, which is campaigning for passage of a county statute that would regulate massage parlors.
Such a statute already is in effect in Sedgwick County and, according to Miller,
the former attorney general, who made headlines last in that in office by raiding Amtrak trains to enforce Kansas iliour laws, said prosecutors was not a victimless case.
He noted, for example, that a sniper who killed three persons in Wichita in 1976 had watched four to five hours of X-rated movies before the shootings.
QUOTING A JUROR in the sniper trial, Miller said, "I sincerely believe that the shooting would never have taken place the X-rated movie not been available. Most people can handle it, but one person should link X-rated movies should be eliminated."
Although he encouraged citizens to get involved in the fight against obcenity, Miller warned, "You'll be personally ridiculed and accused of violating people's rights. You will be radicals, nuts, morons and many names I can't say here."
Miller criticized opponents of obscenity enforcement in Sedgwick County, where a number of older women closed. Miller said that 34 obscenity cases were pending in that county, and that recently he had launched a campaign to clean up the city's two largest adult book centers.
JAYNE SAID last night that massage parlors were springing up on the outskirts of
The clean-up in Wichita is not affecting Topeka, according to the Rev. Gary G. Jayne, pastor of the South Knollwood Baptist Church, where the rally was held. Jayne is chairman of the Committee for a Decent Community.
The twelve-member committee would like to see those parlorists shut down and is taking its case to the Shawnee County commissioners tomorrow.
"We had the word there was no opposition to the parthers," Jaayne said. The committee was formed to show that there was, he said, and petitions are ready for circulation.
"Call us anything you want—super patrols," he said after the rally closed with the police. "I'll keep my eyes on them."
Ticket increase proposal to be considered tonight
A resolution opposing an increase on student football tickets to help finance a $2 million renovation of Memorial Stadium is being considered by Student Senate tonight.
The resolution, which acknowledges the support of about 2,500 students who signed a petition, was recommended last week by the members of the Senate Sports Committee.
Jill Grubaugh, student member of the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation (KUAC) and a journalism senator, said last night that student KUAC members would be removed from the KUAC members Saturday regardless of whether it were passed by the Senate tonight.
Clyde Walker, KU athletic director, recently proposed the increase to KUAC members. The increase would raise student sports revenue and public tickets by $1 for each game.
Concert tickets on sale today
The concert will feature bluegrass music performed by Norman and Nancy Blake. It will be at 8 p.m., Dec. 2 in the Union Ballroom. Tickets are $3.
Tickets for the last SUA-sponsored concert of the semester will go on sale today at the SAU Box Office in the Kansas Union and Record Stands and Stereo Supply, 2500 Iowa St.
KUAC members will vote on the increase at a special meeting Saturday.
Also scheduled for consideration tonight are funding requests by the Student National Education Association and the Hang Gliding and Soaring Club.
A resolution opposing an administration recognition policy for groups requesting current university admission. Current policy requires all campus groups to be recognized by the University administration before they are eligible for admission. This year, despite this year but will be reconsidered tonight.
The Senate's meeting in the park is scheduled to 6:30 p.m. in the Kansas Union's Big Eight.
