Empty Buildings Recall History Of Local Town
A feeling of history and the freedom of the open countryside match the rhythmic cycle of an old river road winding through the farm land of Douglas County.
Along the road, just 10 miles outside Lawrence, stand weathered buildings and houses. The town is Lecompton, a ghostly reminder of former prosperity. A few modernized store buildings have still held amid the erics, but some of these also are without tenants.
Lecompont was first settled in 1854 by A. W. Glem, who in one year transformed the town into the largest and most
In 1855, Lecompton became the territorial capital and the county seat of Douglas County. The U.S. government gave
When the capital was moved to Topeka, federal money was cut off, James Lane, Kansas politician, provided the funds necessary to complete the building, which later housed Lane University, and then purchased closed doors (below left) of the once-intended capital building.

Lecompton Was Site of Capital
Lecompton, stripped of its status as territorial capital, suffered a second blow when the county seat was moved to Lawrence in 1838.
Weeds began to grow in the once busy streets and work on public buildings all but ceased. By 1903, Lane University had closed its doors.
Historically, Lecompont played a rather formidable role in Kansas polities during the pre-Civil War days. The town is known as the "slave capital" of Kansas.
L. H. Rogers (bears), a retired firmar
L. H. Rogers, describes himself as the unofficial
bishopian of Lecompte. He now lives on the old of the lt. Hq. Gov. Stanton administration.
At 77 years of age, Rogers feels so bored that he isn't up on his Kansas history as much as he used to be. It is a shame, he says, that more people don't read up on their local history. Lecompton has more value than some people know, he added.
Most buildings on the Lecompton old River Road aren't in use any more and farm implements have rusted to a halt. Amid the shameless of time and property, a water pump (right) remains operative, as testimony to days that were.
African Guerrilla Force Proposed For Raids in Two Black Nations
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa—Ineproposed establishment of a white South African guerrilla organization to carry out reprisal raids in the neighboring black-led areas of Zimbabwe and Tanzania has met with widespread concern and walks of life in white-dominated South Africa.
Ishomeh, Douglas Lord. Lord, a former British army sergeant major, was commanding officer of the first British merchant force which he formed in London in 1968.
Proposed by the former head of the defense force, Gen. S. A. Mellev, the idea has been to support a of a former Congo mercury and to former Congolese Premier Moise
Commenting on the suggestion, Lord said: "The terrorist situation in southern Africa is dangerous and it will explode if it is not checked in time. We've got to start a campaign to recruit a recruiting campaign for a volunteer group to be sent into Zambia and Tanzania."
'Effortless Process' of Meditation To Be Explained Tonight in Union
An introductory lecture on Trans-
national Meditation and The Science of
Creative Intelligence will be given at 7:30
a.m. in the Room of the Kansas
University. The lecture is
The speaker for the lecture will be Steve Haines, Prairie Village senior. Hannes is a scientist in the science of creative mediation and the science of creative meditation. Studied the meditation techniques in Spain and Italy under the guidance of Maharishi Vidyaguru, developer of transcendental meditation.
Hansen says tonight's lecture will contain "a vision of possibilities one can expect to gain if they practice transcendental meditation."
HANSEN says transcendental meditation is "an effortless process" and "anyone can learn it." He said that meditation requires little physical effort and no special philosophical engagements.
Transcendental meditators are said to experience restfulness, refreshed energy and mental clarity.
THE COURSE will relate meditation to many different fields. Doug Mackey, assistant instructor of English, and Kevin Condon, assistant instructor of Geology, will be the principal instructors. Both Mackey and Condon are teachers of transcendental meditation and the science of creative intelligence.
"Meditation has lost its mysticism in the western world and has become a scientifically verifiable technique," says Hansen.
Hansen will help teach a KU course this fall entitled "Topics and Problems in the Science of Creative Intelligence" (LA&S 48). The course will be worth three hours of lower-division credit in liberal arts and sciences.
There will be regular lectures for advanced meditators this summer at 7:39 p.m. each Thursday in the Oread Room of the Kansas Union, according to Hansen.
He says that a preview lecture of next

"Let's play the game their way—an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth," he continued. He stressed that he was putting forward his personal views, not a government standpoint, and added that he was amazed at the response to his idea.
