KU SDS will meet torch-carrying march
KU Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) will help carry a "Torch of Peace" through Lawrence.
Hamilton J. Salsich, graduate student in English and SDS spokesman, said about 20 KU students plan to meet a group of marchers trekking across the nation at 10 p.m. as the stop on their way to Kansas City and ultimately to Washington, D.C.
The caravan's objective is to "Stop the bombing, cease fire, negotiate and ultimately withdraw all foreign troops from Vietnam."

Frank Stockton is 'office hopper' champ
Dr. Frank T. Stockton, emeritus dean of University Extension and of the School of Business, is KU's champion "office hopper."
Dean Stockton has occupied 13 sites since joining the University of Kansas faculty 43 years ago.
Enrollment record set
430 KU students have enrolled in classes in the Kansas School of Religion this semester. This is up 33 per cent from last year, according to the Rev. Reinhold Schmidt, assistant dean of the school.
Schmidt said the appointment of two professors brings the full-time faculty to six.
The new teachers are Robert Shelton, a native of Hutchinson, who will teach primarily in the field of social ethics. Father Arnold Tkacik (Kah-sek) teaches principally in the area of biblical studies.
Wrong address foils KU fees says Kelly
Students who haven't received fee statements in the mail should inquire at window one of the Office of Admissions and Records, Strong Hall, as soon as possible, or risk cancellation of their enrollment, William Kelly, associate registrar, said.
Many students—120 to 130—evidently gave the wrong address when they enrolled, Kelly said. In order to correct this and to pay their fees they should check with the office at window one in Strong Hall, he said.
More ID needed for check cashers
Cash a cheek and pass a CIA security test. Quite a bother, you say, for a crummy $10.
By Tim Jones Kansan Staff Reporter
It's the same bother for the clerk. Is it worth it?
Policy regarding cut-off-area checks, those from banks outside Lawrence, and second-endorsement checks will also be toughened.
As a result, persons casing checks will need more and positive identification. No universal checks or counter checks will be accepted, but only those bearing printed account numbers from a bank.
Universal checks can't be passed through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and therefore have gone out of existence.
According to Sheriff's Department reports, it is. This year 953 bad checks have been passed in Douglas County for a total of $18,989.62.
A number of Lawrence merchants met this summer to adopt and enforce a more stringent policy regarding check cashing.
"We don't want to inconvenience customers," said Keith Lucas, manager of Dillon's Food Market, "but we can't afford the number of bad checks received."
Loses $47,000
Dillons lost $47,000 in bad checks last year.
"When we receive a bad check we have no recourse except legal prosecution which, in most cases, costs more than the check was worth in the first place." Tous said. "As a result, it must be written off as a total loss."
Policy pays off
The source of bad checks is not necessarily KU students, the sheriff's department said. The number of returned checks cashed by students is not proportionately higher than those cashed by persons not associated with the University.
The report said since the stricter policy has been enforced the number of bad checks reported to the sheriff has dropped.
