Split on Gunn-Taylor Stand
Several student leaders have varied reactions to statements made on housing discrimination by James E. Gunn, administrative assistant to the Chancellor, and Emily Taylor, dean of women.
In a meeting Sunday night before members of the Canterbury Association, the Episcopal organization for students at the University, Dean Taylor and Mr. Gunn said they believe that off-campus housing discrimination will not be solved by administrative refusal to list discriminatory renters.
IN A STATEMENT last night, Charles Menghini, Pittsburg senior and a co-chairman of the Civil Rights Council, said that he has information that non-listing of renters seems to be working at other schools.
"Recent information from the National Student Association in Philadelphia reveals that many other colleges and universities have taken this step (non-listing of discriminatory renters). It seems to be successful."
When questioned about Menghini's statements, Dean Taylor stated that if such information exists, it should be presented to groups which are studying the problem.
"WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE objective evidence such as this. So far we have had none."
Nolen Ellison, Kansas City junior, and one of the Negro students who marched across campus Oct. 13 in protest of KU housing policies, said
Forests May Have Heavy Fire Losses
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The western region of the United States may experience one of its worst fire seasons in history, according to the American Forest Products Industries, Inc.
The organization reported that the 12-state area embracing Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado, Wyoming, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Montana, Idaho, and Utah, is virtually a forest tinderbox.
A combination of sub-normal winter precipitation, continued long periods of drought, high temperatures and low humidity already have caused a number of forest fires, it said.
Pointing out that even the smallest brush fire might erupt into a major holocaust, the organization said private and government agencies were standing by with the most advanced fire detection apparatus and firefighting equipment. In readiness are thousands of tractors, bulldozers, tankers, and trucks, in addition to shovels, pumpers, hose and other necessary tools.
he was in favor of the Gunn-Taylor stand;
"Everyone is blowing this situation up. The basis of the problem is the University of Kansas. I am not concerned whether or not Lawrence people accept Negroes into their homes. My concern is that the University should make a stand on the problem. Then, by using moral sasion, influence these people."
HE EXPLAINED THAT IF the University makes a stand against discrimination, others will be influenced because of the stature of the school.
George Buford, Kansas City senior and a chairman of the CRC, expressed his doubts as to the practicality of not listing discriminatory renters.
"It is possible that someone could sign such a list and then refuse to act. I don't discard the plan . . . it has some merit. But there are other ways to arrive at a solution. It would be impossible for the chancellor or the housing office to enforce such a program."
Similar feelings were expressed by'Mr. Gunn:
"WHAT WOULD YOU DO to enforce such a plan? You would have to set up mechanisms to check violations, and these mechanisms would create hard feelings between town-speople and students and the University."
Expectation for recovery of two Rembrandt etchings stolen from the KU Art Museum last year has dwindled.
Marilyn Stokstad, assistant professor of art history, and acting director of the art museum, says she is "sure we'll never hear anything more of them."
Recovery of Stolen Etchings Doubtful
MORE AND MORE Kennedy has been holding important meetings in the living quarters of the mansion instead of in his office in the executive wing.
She said each of the etchings was valued at several hundred dollars. A more exact figure was impossible because of constant changes in the market, she said.
"It's a pity that the etchings have been lost," she said, adding that one Rembrandt etching on loan is back and now on display at the museum.
It was in this room that President McKinley signed the peace treaty ending the Spanish-American war.

Many of his late afternoon sessions have been held "over at the house." He met with aides in his oval study when he made the decision to send Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson to Berlin. He also conferred with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko in the study.
The room is located between the Abraham Lincoln bedroom and President Kennedy's oval room combination library and study.

A long mahogany leather-covered table has been moved from the Gold room on the ground floor to the Monroe room which faces the Washington Monument, south of the White House.
