Plans Viewed For Bowl Trip
University officials are viewing plans for a student migration to the Bluebonnet Bowl football game in Houston, Texas, where KU will play on Dec. 16.
Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of students, said today that the administration is considering a proposal for transportation with Rock Island Lines.
Dean Woodruff estimated the cost of the trip including meals, $5.50 for the game ticket, other expenses while in Houston would bring the total to about $60.
THE PROPOSED round-trip coach fare to Houston from Kansas City would be $49. This figure would include four meals while on the train, storage of personal effects on the train while in Houston and also the services of escorts.
The train would leave Kansas City 4:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 15, and arrive
in Houston at 8:45 the next morning.
The return trip would begin at 11:59 p.m. Saturday night. The train would arrive in Kansas City at 2:55 p.m. the following day.
"These plans are still in the tentative stage," said Dean Woodruff. "There may be changes made before the matter is decided upon," he added.
ARTHUR C. (DUTCII) Lonborg, associate professor of physical education and athletic director, said, contrary to an article in yesterday's Daily Kansas, the athletic department here will not receive $100,000 for the game.
"We will receive money for the team's expenses plus one eighth of the remainder of the $100,000," he said. "The remaining seven eighths will go to the other Big-eight schools.
CRC Talks Funds
The Civil Rights Council discussed plans for a fund drive for SNCC (The Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee) at its meeting in the Kansas Union last night.
SNCC was formed shortly after the first "sit-in" in Greensboro, N.C. It was formed to act as a means of communication between different protest groups in the South. The Committee set up an office in Atlanta, Ga., with one full time worker to compile and receive information and make it available to student groups in the civil rights movement.
The most significant contribution made by SNCC during 1960 was to plan the "freedom rides."
BY THE SUMMER OF 1960, the movement had reached a point which forced SNCC to change from a communication group to one which coordinated activities.
The group also examined voter registration problems in McComb, Miss.
THE FUTURE of SNCC in the South is the reason the CRC last night discussed raising funds for the group.
Charles Menghini, Pittsburgh senior, and co-chairman of the CRC, said if SNCC can obtain proper financial and mortal support from many people, it will be able to continue its anti-discriminatory activities in the South.
"I think that now should be the time to start this drive. Now while there is liberal feeling and interest on the campus," he said.
HE POINTED out that SNCC needs the money to pay for court
costs and lawyers' fees of SNCC members and others who have been arrested or detained because of their activities in McComb, Miss., and other southern cities.
The CRC is planning to contact various Lawrence and campus organizations to participate in a fund drive. The organizations include KU-Y, The Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy, The Congregational Church, the local branch of the NAACP, and a Unitarian group at KU.
"THE DRIVE should probably be a day or so before the World Crisis Day," Menghini said.
Other plans discussed by the CRC for the drive were the possibility of passing boxes around during the basketball game next week and the collection of money at night, with those people interested in contributing leaving their porch lights on.
A meeting will be held with representatives from the various groups next Monday at 4 p.m. in the Kansas Union.

UP Picks Up Contested ASC Seat
The All Student Council elections committee has settled on a third representative to the ASC from large men's dormitories.
William K. Kahmann, Springfield, Mo., senior, on the recount vote received 98 votes to 87 for the runner up, William Brier, Overland Park freshman. Kahmann was the University Party candidate.
THE ORIGINAL VOTE totals for the third representative in the general election two weeks ago were challenged because of errors in following the ASC election bill, and because of the closeness of the original vote.
Kahmann's victory now sets the ASC voting representation at 16 for Vox Populi against 12 for the UP.
VOX POPULI HAS 17 seated representatives, one having only speaking privileges because he did not receive enough votes in the general election to gain voting representation. He represents the married district.
OUT OF THE PRESENT 30 members of the ASC,10 represent schools of the University. The remaining 20 represent living districts.The school representatives were selected last spring.
AT THIS MEETING, the newly elected representatives from living districts were sworn in.
One other member in the ASC, the representative from professional fraternities and co-op houses, has only speaking privileges.
At this week's ASC meeting, one of the college representatives, Bill Rothenberger, Hays sophomore, representing the School of Engineering, resigned. He was replaced by Richard Cooksey, Iola freshman.
The ASC members are:

Community Chest in many towns, is held so people can give one large contribution to charity," said Charles Hess, Kansas City senior and Campus Chest committee chairman. "That way they won't be asked for donations by a lot of different organizations during the year."
The Dukes of Dixieland was organized soon after World War II by Frankie and Freddie Assunto, trumpeter and trombonist, who are still with the group. Both received their musical training from their father.
OTHER long-time members of the group are Roger Johnston, who plays drums; Artie Seelig, piano, and Bill Potter, bass.
The Dukes' first big break came when they were signed for a month-long stand at the Famous Door in New Orleans. They were so popular they were retained for over five years.
They signed a long-term contract to appear at the Preview Lounge in Chicago in 1955. They have just completed a series of performances at Eddy's Night Club in Kansas City.
TOKYO — (UPI) — Red China hinted today it may take action if the United States ignores its repeated protests against U.S. military aid to Communist-attacked South Viet Nam.
Red China Issues Viet Nam Threat
A Peiping broadcast quoting a "serious warning" from the Red regime said the Communists "absolutely cannot be indifferent to the adventurous deeds of the United States."
Observers familiar with the Peiping jargon said this phraseology amounted to a threat of some kind of Red Chinese action in the matter.
"If the U.S. government does not stop its . . . aggressive acts, it must bear full responsibility for breaching the peace of Indo China and Southeast Asia," the statement declared.
It urged Britain and Russia to "take effective and timely measures to check the outrageous actions of the United States." Britain and Russia were co-chairmen of the 1954 conference which partitioned Indo-China.
