KU author enjoys 'writing all day'
To Jordan Crittenden, KU's writer-in-residence this semester, the greatest thing is "getting up in the morning, eating breakfast and then writing all day long."
Crittenden, who just recently Available" published, has rehad his book "Ballons are available" published, has returned to
Racial trial in eighth day
MERIDIAN, Miss. —(UPI) Character witnesses have made up the bulk of the defense case so far in the federal court trial of 18 white men charged with conspiring to kill three civil rights workers.
The second week begins today amid indications the all-white, predominantly female jury would get the case by Wednesday.
The defendants, including the head of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and four law enforcement officers, are accused in the 1964 deaths of Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James Chaney, whose bodies were found buried in an earthen farm dam near Philadelphia, Miss.
The government has brought forth four FBI informers to back its charge the slayings were a plot by the Klan to kill Schwerner, 23, a white Brooklyn, N.Y., social worker, because of his civil rights activities in Mississippi. Goodman, 20, a white Queens College, N.Y. student who had been in Mississippi only one day before his death, and Chaney, 21, a Negro from Meridian, were killed only because they happened to be with Schwerner, the FBI contends.

KU for the first time since his graduation in 1958.
"Balloons Are Available" is not the first book Crittenden has written, however, it is the first book he has written that has been published.
After spending 8 or 9 months writing full-time, Crittenden said that merely finishing the book was an accomplishment.
Crittenden said in his book "Balloons Are Available" he was trying to show that things are out of control and happening faster than they should.
"People are really alienated from what is going on around them," Crittenden said.
The style of Crittenden's book "Balloons Are Available" is interesting. A series of short scenes consisting mostly of dialogue, the book contains no physical description.
When asked about the lack of physical description Crittenden said that what any other writer does can't prevent you from doing what you want to.
Invited to come to KU only a month after "Balloons Are Available" came out, Crittenden said his reaction upon receiving the invitation was one of surprise.
"This is the first time I've ever been a writer-in-residence," he said.
Migration tickets to be sold
Crittenden had his first story published in The New Yorker magazine in 1960. Since then he has had other stories published by the New Yorker, Esquire and Punch magazines. His book "Balloons Are Available" has been reviewed in Time magazine and also in The Saturday Review.
Tickets will go on sale tomorrow in living groups for the All Student Council (ASC) migration to the KU-CU football game.

The party on the train going out will be in two "recreational" baggage cars.

Wells said Pullman cars would be on the back of the train for alumni who go.
