Internat'l club woos Yankees
KU foreign students are attempting to woo American students into joint activities apparently unrelated to official U.S. State Department policy.
American and foreign students attending the initial contact meeting at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Village Green will be given disguises, a spokesman for the foreign students admitted.
Each couple attending the meeting will be given a pitcher of beer, apparently in an attempt to break down reservations.
Dancing will be part of the program, and although it is anticipated the Americans will instinctively remain with their respective dates, the foreign student spokesman said attempts will be made to "establish broad contacts outside the date relationship."
But no one has to worry about Central Intelligence Agency infiltration.
The KU International Club is having a masquerade party, and everyone will be given masks, free beer and a chance to dance, Said Adra, Beirut, Lebanon, senior and president of the club, said he hopes American students will mingle with the foreign students, because one purpose of the party is to attract additional members for the International Club.
Foreign students attending the party have been asked to wear their native costume.
Students participate on KU's 'high court'
A board including the student body president Thursday became the highest court of appeals for students facing disciplinary action.
The Disciplinary Board of Appeals was established by revision of the University Senate Code which was approved by the Board of Regents at a meeting at Ft. Hays State College.
The new five-member studentfaculty board will hear appeals from the University Disciplinary Board, which before Thursday was the highest judicial group in the University.
The new board will be final authority in student disciplinary cases. However, the board will review only the procedures lower disciplinary boards used
in ruling on cases and not the actual facts of those cases.
Appeals from the disciplinary board previously had to be taken to the dean of students.
The 1967-68 Student Handbook had stated, "The decision of the University Disciplinary Committee is final, subject to the right of appeal and review by the Dean of Students."
Other members of the appeals board, besides the student body president, will be the associate dean of the Law School, another Law School representative, the chief justice of the student court and the chairman of the Senate Council Committee on Student Affairs.

Big Eight officials rebuke KU coaches
By Chip Rouse Kansan Sports Editor
University of Kansas football Coach Pepper Rodgers and assistant coach John Cooper were reprimanded Thursday by the Big Eight Conference for illegal recruiting.
being contacted by Cooper and others.
Wayne Duke, conference executive director, said the three athletes, all from Atlanta, Ga. were signed May 15, 1967, after
Big Eight officials emphasized that Rodgers was not involved in the actual signings. However, they said, Cooper and "other athletic interests" were involved.
Representatives of the conference schools said in a statement that KU "had violated conference rules" by signing three prospective high school athletes to national letters of intent.
The conference denied Cooper "the privilege of contact with any prospective student athletes for a period of one year."
The KU administration launched an investigation of KU's football recruiting practices during the summer after the president of another Big Eight institution alleged that violations had occurred, Duke said.
Rodgers told the Kansan that the Jayhawks would continue to play despite action taken by the Big Eight. He added, "We just won't have as big a red shirt squad next year."
The red shirt squad consists of players who do not play on either the first or second squads. Redgers uses the red shirt players to
run the offensive and defensive formations that are used by Kansas' opponents.
Acting under its enforcement clause, the conference also limited the number of football scholarships that KU can award for the 1967-68 school year. The figure is 10 less than the 45 normally allotted.
This year the Jayhawks signed 32 players to scholarships.
Athletic Director Wade Stinson said that while the violation was minor, "we still have to stand our punishment."
Neither Rodgers or Stinson said they felt the action would hurt KU's athletic program.
Duke added that the three athletes were never enrolled at KU and are not now enrolled in any university.
Library services extended
Regents OK hours
The Kansas Board of Regents Thursday approved KU's request to seek a spending limit increase enabling the University to extend library hours to 11 p.m. from 10 p.m.
Since the University was the only state school to exceed this year's predicted enrollment, the Regents authorized the University
to seek permission from the State Finance Council to increase its general spending limit by the amount of actual fees collected over predicted amounts.
Although all the state schools topped last year's enrollment, KU posted the largest gain. The 15.- 791 enrollment is an increase of 7.7 per cent over last year's 14,605 students.
their relation to a record high $123,647.333 budget for operation of the six state schools during the 1969 fiscal year.
The 1969 budget compares with the current year's budget of $114,806,378. Since there is such a difference in the two budgets, and since the over-all enrollment total was lower than predicted, it is expected that next year's budget will be cut.
Scenery provides backstage flavor
'Gypsy' crew builds play
By Linda McCrerey Kansan Staff Reporter
"Gypsy," KU's musical production which opens next weekend, is probably the biggest and most complex show ever presented in the University Theatre.
The Broadway musical concerns the rise of stripper Gypsy "Rose" Lee in the 1920's and 30's, when vaudeville was declining and burlesque was coming into popularity.
"Everybody in the play is striving, in one way or another, to be noticed as special," said Jack T. Brooking, director.
WEATHER
"I don't think it paints a very
--pretty picture of backstage life, which can be grim and grimy," Brooking said. "No, it's not at all a romanticized view of show biz."
The U.S. Weather Bureau predicts fair weather today and Saturday. Cooler tonight and warmer Saturday, today's high should be in the lower 60s and tonight's low in the mid 30s. Chance of precipitation is less than 5 per cent today and Saturday.
--pretty picture of backstage life, which can be grim and grimy," Brooking said. "No, it's not at all a romanticized view of show biz."
In "Gypsy," the audience will see behind the footlights to the dirty dressing rooms, angry managers and frustrations of actors fighting their ways to the top.
In other business concerning KU, the Board authorized new degrees for the University. The new degrees will include a doctorate in pathology at the University of Kansas Medical Center and a master's in engineering, a master's in oriental languages, a master's in East Asian studies and a master's in Latin American studies.
Behind the scenes
"We want to give the show a sort of back-stage flavor," Brooking said. No attempt will be made to disguise the stage as being realistic. Instead, the audience will be able to see the clutter of sets not in use, and ceiling lights on stage may be lowered for the audience to see.
"The sets will be just suggestions of scenery," said Charles Lown, technical director. Most will have cut-away walls, so the audience will have to fill in the boundaries with imagination.
"This is the biggest show I've ever done, in terms of the number of sets used," Lown said. "Most plays use a maximum of four or five sets, but 'Gypsy' requires 14 different sets in 16 scenes."
Between the scenes, sets will be moved by crew members dressed in black, while the spectators watch.
"Gypsy" poses unique problems for shop foreman Clarence Seaver, who is busy building strange sets such as a trick haystack that turns into a locomotive engine, a Chinese theater with a dragon, and a false proscenium framing the stage.
Seaver showed how all 14 sets will remain on stage at once; each has wheels jacked down by a hidden lever. The stage has a revolving turntable to change set position smoothly.
"This is one of the most fabulous sets we've ever designed," Seaver said. "It will also be one of the biggest strike sets ever."
A strike set is held after the last performance, after all the people have cleared the theater, Seaver explained. Every actor in the cast, plus the entire crew, pitches in to tear down all the sets. In a couple of hours, nothing remains of what takes weeks to build.

Official enrollment totals for the other schools are as follows: K-State, 11,755; Wichita State University, 11,257; Emporia State, 6,-947; Fort Hays State, 5,115; and Pittsburg State, 5,669.
The number short of the predicted enrollments in these schools ranges from Emporia State's 233 to Wichita State's 533.
