Grand Humility Day Plans Foiled
By JACK HAWKS
Kansas Staff Reporter
A fusion of political reality and religious reality is principally marked the local celebration of Pentecost.
The event, planned by the University Christian Movement, a coalition of campus ministers, in conjunction with a Congressional resolution calling for a restructuring of the university. Prayer, featured a funeral procession down Jawhawk Boulevard to the Kansas Union.
"Our purpose," said campus minister Kent Gee, "is to cite responsive feeling on campus to the cities which are occurring in our society."
THE MARCH ITSELF had just 20 people, but each marcher had a responsibility to carry something symbolic of the controversial political issues confronting America. Some signs carried by the marchers noted continued involvement in Vietnam, Watergate and ill treatment of the American Indians.
Commenting on the size of the march, Gee said, "Our purpose wasn't public demonstration, but rather to cause awareness on the campus."
Another campus minister who, along with Gee, organized much of the day's activities, was Don Baldwin. He said he thought the general reaction to the march was one of
"It's very hard for people to speak of their participation in combating the evils of society," Baldwin said. "Usually, we want to say that others are doing it. People are consciously aware of the social evils; we can actually name them, and statist where they had such difficulty identifying the evil things happening to Regan."
THE ORIGINAL PLANS for the KU DAY of Humiliation called for public meetings in which a portable dome was to have been up in front of Watson Library or Strong Hall. Meditation, rap groups and prayers were to have taken place in it.
However, the University Events Committee said the dome would have to be at Potter Lake, an alternative the participants rejected.
Fee Likely Next Year For Using Allen, Hoch
Entertainers who will use Allen Field House and Hoch Auditorium next year probably will be charged a fee, according to Roy Hamilton, University comproller.
"I think it pretty definite that there will be a charge made," he said yesterday. "We're in the process of determining the fee that will be charged."
Hamilton, who directs a facilities use committee, said he would submit a proposal to today to Keith L. Nitcher, vice chancellor of the School of Medicine, Chancellor Archie R. Dykes for approval.
Hamilton said he wasn't ready to set specific costs for the use of the auditorium and the field house. Costs, such as the salaries of janters and security and parking people and depreciation of utilities installations, are being taken into account, he said.
Mike D. Miller, activities director of Student Union Activities, said a large usage fee could increase the price of tickets for SIA concerts.
If the usage fee covers only the cost of utilities and depreciation of buildings, there

Buckner said. "I'd just use the
will be no significant increase in the cost of tickets, Miller said.
"If it's a significant amount, then all I can say is, of course, the money will have to come out."
According to Gee, the denial of a central location caused the elimination of many of the planned activities. He said a central part of campus was denied because of beliefs that the marchers would cause a disturbance.
Miller said he thought the usage fee should enable the University only to break with the current system.
Another feature that was not allowed was a noon讲课 in the Campamile. Gee found it too distracting.
However, most felt the intent of the day was not lost. Tables were set up in the Union representing the University Christian Movement, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and Friends of the United Mine Workers.
A SPECIAL STAMP for the day, "US"
anyone who wanted it stamped on his hand.
They were from New York.
BALDWIN SAID, "It's fairly clear in our minds that the reason we were denied the negative feelings brought on by the religious proselytizers. The policy makers must respect the feelings of students who are affected by events they don't agree with."
"If the Campanile could toll for the 'Great Lorenzo,' not for us who are trying to take a responsible stance on our society's problems?" he asked.
The symbol has two meanings, according to Baldwin. One meaning of "US" is the United States as a whole, whereas the other symbolizes the participants in the Day of the Dead. Another meaning is the concern for responsibility that is the cornerstone of the whole idea.

Today is the second day of the program, the "Day of New Hope," and kite flying on Campanile hill and body painting are among the scheduled festivities.
Women's Softball Game in Dispute
The McColllum Hall women's softball team will appeal to the University of Kansas intramural Board today because of an unprovoked decision during the championship women's softball game yesterday, spokesman for the McColllum team said.
The McColum speaksman said that the umpire didn't know when the game began but that the rules stated that a five-member team could have five innings, which whichever came first.
The Chi Omega softball team defeated M. Columbo, 10-8. The game was slapped at by the Colorado Lady Coyotes.
The spokesman said the game was played for fifty minutes because it started at 5:40.
The Chi Omega coach, Dave Mullett,
Prairie Village sophomore, said he

ended at 6:30 p.m. regardless of what time they began. He agreed that the game probably started late because both teams warmed up.
"That's the way it's been all season," Mullett said.
One of the umpires of the game, Jennifer Huffman, Moundridge junior, said. The championship game shouldn't be played more than games in the regular season."
