Housing Committee,CRC To Give Support to HRC
Leaders of two student anti-discrimination groups said their committees would work with the Human Relations Commission in its investigation of Lawrence landlords.
Another said it was up to the Commission whether his group worked with HRC.
THOMAS HARDY, Hoisington junior, and chairman of the Housing Committee of the All Student Council, said his committee had every intention of working with the Commission.
"We will probably be in contact with Mr. Binns in a few days." Hardy said. William Binns is chairman of HRC.
Brian Grace, Lawrence sophmore, and chairman of ASC's Human Rights Committee said his group will definitely work with the HRC committee.
"We will cooperate with them in any way we can," Grace said.
CHARLES MENGHINI, Pittsburgh senior, and co-chairman of the Civil Rights Council, said his group would probably aid HRC if they were asked.
"It's up to them to determine how they wish to go about this," Menghini explained. "I'm sure we could give them some background."
The Civil Rights Council has recently completed a survey of Lawrence landlords to determine who and how many discriminators there are.
THE HUMAN RELATIONS Commission established a committee Wednesday night to talk to certain landlords who rent to KU students and ascertain their views.
The move was praised by the KU chairmen as a move in the right direction to ending discrimination in Lawrence.
"I think it's tremendous," Menghini exclaimed. "I have nothing but praise for the Commission at this moment.
"They have realized the problem and are going to work on it," he added.
GRACE WHO CIRCULATED a petition last week urging curtailment of protests against discrimination until the HRC could function,
Students Say No to Idea Of Starting Tests Again
Only two of 12 students interviewed in Strong basement recently felt that the United States should resume atmospheric nuclear tests in view of the recent Russian superbomb explosion.
Those who opposed the resumption of such tests by the United States had various reasons, but both those in favor of resumption were afraid that the United States would fall behind Russia
JIM KIRKHAM, Independence, Mo., sophomore, opposed the resumption of atmospheric tests because "the United States has enough power right now to retaliate against any aggressor." He also felt that Russia is getting bad publicity abroad as a result of her giant nuclear explosion.
Judy Myers, Brooking, S.D. freshman, opposed resumption saying, "Just because they do it is no reason for us to do it." She said that increasing atmospheric radioactivity might prove harmful.
Jack Harper, Wichita freshman, said, "If we would go ahead, it would justify their move." He thought that underground tests are all right, but too much fall-out danger results from atmospheric tests.
JACOB DYCK, Topeka senior, stated, "I don't think anybody should be testing at the present time." He did, however, approve of underground tests.
Dale Gaeddert, Newton graduate student, said that "United States testing policy should not be determined by Russia." He felt that sufficient reasons could justify underground testing only.
Steve Heller, Merriam sophomore, commented simply that "two wrongs never make a right."
LEF ELLIOTT, Waterville freshman, said. "What we need most is some way to get them (nuclear bombs) over there." He felt that the United States has adequately developed her atomic bombs already.
Ron Walters, Salina sophomore, believed that the "warheads we have now will completely annihilate the largest military installation." He also felt that the United States should concentrate on vehicles.
Darrell Sligar, Kansas City, Kan senior, said that we have "enough air pollution to last us for a while." He thought that a resumption of tests by the United States would only result in an upward spiral of the size and number of atomic tests in the atmosphere.
SCOTT BEIMS, Atwood senior, also opposed resumption on the basis that "two wrongs don't make a right." He felt that more tests are unnecessary.
Dick Ailor, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, was one of the two who favored the resumption of atmospheric tests by the United States. He felt that "we will fall behind otherwise." He did not favor testing in itself but viewed it as the lesser of two evils.
Charles Looney, Iola freshman, also favored testing because he believed that "we are forced" to resume testing in order to keep up with Russia.
said he was pleased with the action. "It's a good move, an effective one," he said. Thomas Hardy said the Commission would probably accomplish more by working in this fashion than the two ASC groups.

"The committee is composed of townspeople and we're student groups," he added. "People will respect them more because of that."

Coulson said Canterbury was "very much in favor of doing everything as a group or as individuals to help lessen discrimination.
The sentiment at Tuesday's meeting was "considerably divergent," Gish added.
"Exactly how this is done is another question; this is what we are debating at the present time," he said.
- EXPERT TYPING — fast, accurate.
- COMPLETE SECRETARIAL SERVICE (Minimum of 4 hr. in your office; no minimum in ours.)
- THERMO-FAX COPIES — 25c maximum
- COMPLETE TELEPHONE ANSWERING SERVICE.
At last Tuesday's meeting, however, the group questioned whether a public stand would be the most effective way to proceed, Gish said.
Glen Gish, Harper graduate student and member of the vestry, said the original plans were for Canterbury to vote either to reject or approve the administration's policy as explained Sunday by James E. Gunn, administrative assistant to the chancellor, and Emily Taylor, dean of women.
He repeated Mr. Gunn's statement that a point is reached where the publicity ends and the work begins, and said he believed that point had been reached.
He said several members of the vestry, Canterbury's ruling body, were drawing up possible statements to be voted upon Tuesday.
Canterbury Association's stand on University housing policy probably will take the form of a private letter to Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, Mike Coulson, Glouchester, England, graduate student and senior warden of Canterbury, said yesterday.
