Shenk said he also recalled that attendance at KU commencement ceremonies used to be compulsory.
IN HIS 20 YEARS as marshal and Commencement Committee chairman, Shenk said he had only been rained on once.
"At about 5 o'clock," Shenk said, "we would have to decide whether to march or not. Usually I would listen to the Topeka Weather Bureau's forecast and conditions, then I would call the chancellor. Together we'd decide outdoor or went inside."

Candlemaker Offers Items To Brighten One's Day
"To come to Waxman Candles, people have to make a special trip, and sometimes a candle is not reason enough to do it."
By TUULA TOSSAVAINEN
If you cannot find a job, one way to survive is to create one. That is just what Bob Werts did. He started to make candies.
A sign on the door of the shop reads, "We have candles worth of 50,000 burning hours inside."
Werts said he thought candies were more of a "walk-in-trade," that he was hoping to get a better location downtown.
"I have always liked candles, but I could never afford to buy the ones I wanted to, and so I decided to make my own." Werts said. "In the past, we sold candles called Waxman Candles was opened at 7 W. 14th St.
WE HAVE CANDLES of any shape, color or fragrance a weaker than the Werts said, "but if he wants something different, we will use
When you open the door, your're convinced. The smell mixture of 77 different fragrances stuns you. After you spend 15 minutes in the shop, your friends will ask you if you're day the name of your perfume.
The biggest candle in the shop weighs 21 pounds and is 18 inches tall, six inches wide. The smallest
On the shelves of the tiny shop are candles shaped like mushrooms, pyramids, ice cream cones, hands, bails, and steeples. There are black light candles and candies made of beeswax.
one is a bathtub candle, which is designed to float around while you bathe.
People like to come and sniff at the candies, but Bob Werts does not mind. He lost his sense of smell a long time ago.
"The reason why the candies smell so strong is that they are fresh. We make new candies by using artificial fragrances uses more fragrances than candelakers usually do. The most popular fragrance is strawberry. Other favorites are vanilla, bobbie, brooky and plummeria."
"It is impossible to single out what kind of people buy candles," Werts said. "In Lawrence they were older, in Emporia they are older people."
7th St. The shop in Emporia contains candles worth of 75,000 burning hours.
"The only exception to this rule," he continued, "was if a student would have left the room then would have to go to the dean of his school and get his excuse approved. Only then would the student authorize the release as disciplinary."
"People like to turn off the airflow and use the candles or clean the air. They eat smoke and the fragrances have a light pleasing smell," he
turned this ticket in at the registrar's office after the exercises and picked up their diploma." Shenk said.
Werts said candles were a basic light, similar to the Sun.
ACCORDING TO WERTS, the best selling candle is the one handed like a ball.
Shenk said this practice was finally dropped when the size of the graduating classes made it too hard to implement.
Issuing diplomas became more of a problem over the years, Shenk said.
"ONCE," THE SHENK said, "the officials began to run out of 'diplomats' and the faculty sitting on the stage had to roll up their commencement programs and commencement officials to the officials to be handed out."
"Now the graduates are given an aerial photograph of the campus so that they will have to keep it if they wish." Skehk said.
The tradition of baccalaureate exercises was also affected by the changes within the University over the years. Nichols said.
He has taught two boys from Lawrence High School to make candles. Both of the boys are wearing a hat at the Waxman Candles.
"The reasons for discontinuing the services was that more and more people are over the world and they represented religions other than Christian. Baccalaureate is Christian. Christian tradition." Nichols said.
"There is no place where you could be taught how to make candles. Werts said, "You just need a wand, but about the craft as you go along."
"1968 was the last year that featured baccalaureate services at commencement," he said.
The last year in which all commencement exercises were held on one night was 1968, he said.
'WE NOW award all the post-baccalaureate degrees, such as those for medicine, law and the graduate school, on the first night and all the baccalaureate awards second night,' Nichols explained.
"Graduating classes were simply getting too large to award all the diplomas on one night, so we split the exercises.
As Bob Werts created a job for himself, he also created one for a friend in Emporia, where the first Werts was opened last October at E Tast
Figures from the officer of the registrar show the tremendous growth in the number of degrees awarded and in the first commencement in 1873.
By 1900, the schools of Fine Law, Medicine and Pharmacy were established. School had become active at KU and 226 degrees were granted at KU.
1940, the number of degrees awarded swelled to 1,042; aided by the addition of degrees offered in 1921 and Business in 1925.

Making a candle takes a lot of time. Heating the wax and pouring it, the color and fragrances into a mold doesn't take long, but it has to be cooled for five to six hours. And, because brushes whirl, it cooks. The mold has to be coiled and coat again.
"It contains 125 burning hours, it doesn't drip, and this shape is excellent," Werts explained. Prices of the candles in the shop range from $75 to $90.

McLean Survives Two Obstacles
Singer Surmounts Intimidate Crowd and a Bomb Strike BY DON HECKMAN
New York, Times
A performer who can survive a bomb crash and an intangible injury will specialize in finger singing. Don Minnichols came on stage in 1975 with the band Rocket Ship.
As if that wasn't enough, half way through the program Mr. McLean was interrupted by a woman who asked everyone to look under their chairs for change or an usuallooking包袋. Wow! Only a truly magical performer could have kept me, and this audience is in the hair after many has passed. But Mr. McLean

Students Condemn Latest Nixon Plan
BY KEVIN SHAFER
Kansan Staff Writer
President Nixon's decision to enter North Vietnamese ports was the result of a move to the North Vietnamese troops drew immediate reactions from several people involved in the incident at the University of Kansas.
Viet Vets Here Urge Letters
Students wishing to write letters to their congressmen urging him to end the war may do so by attending a meeting according to a spokesman from Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Representatives from the group will be in the Union with Congressmen, and pens until the end of the week.
Nebraskans Vote in Primary
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — NEbraska voters in numbers expected to approach a near 100 percent turnout today in a primary election testing the presidential popularity the McGovern Hughes campaign expects.
Pollis close at 8 p.m., local time—central daylight in eastern and central Nebraska, mountain daylight in the west.
Nine other Democrats were listed on the state's presidential preference ballot, just about two weeks ago, except Sen. Edward Kennedy, Minnesota's Humphrey and South Dakota's McGovern had been elected.
Humphrey, packing his personal campaign into less than four days in the state, had to get him on his hill battle against McGovern.

THE REPUBLICAN bill listed President Nixon and Rep. John M. Ashbrook and Paul N. McCloskey Jr.
BESIDES VOICING prosecution officers were selecting nominees for the U.S. Senate seat held by Senator Patricia McCormick in congressional seats; 25 seats in the 40-member Unicameral one-house Legislature and a host of other agencies.

Secretary of State Allen Beermann predicted a turnout of 400,000, a primary election total of 293,000 in Nebraska history, in 1934.
Results of the presidential balloting were not binding on the 16 Republican and 22 of 24 Democratic delegates also being selected
Vote counting figured to be slowed by the multitude of candidates, 439, for national convention delegate tickets.
Bill Palasak, Kansas City, Kan. junior and a member of the Commission, and other antiwan groups, said Monday that a personal opinion was about all could be expressed at that point.
Each of the three congressional districts was electing a quota.
Democratic presidential addition to McGovern and Humphrey, included Shirley Chisholm, Chris Foster, Jackson, Jackie, Lindsay, Eugene J. McCarthy, Wilbur D. Mills, Emilie S. Muskus, George D. Weldon
Delegate candidates ran either committed or uncommitted, and 125 of 142 candidates were pledged to President Nixon.
"Nixon has never listened to the American people against the war," Palakasai said. "The war is still on, and we are still in people's war. We hope that any actions of the University of Kansas students and the university of Wisconsin universities and communities across the country have had at least some effect in raising the political consciousness of the people."
PALASKAS SAID he thought that any planned actions to show the government a decision would be rather unaffected for KU unless of interest to them.
Increased Tuition to Hit Students at Enrollment
He noted, however, that not all schools were on the same time schedule as KU and that it was important to ensure that other schools would stage protests.
Sullivan said that the American government had not responded to the antwar activities, but that the American people were finally beginning to respond in some way to the war. He said the American government has now shown their discontent and feelings against the war.
Larry Sullivan, chemistry
member of the Coordinating
Committee said he was outraged
when he heard the Nixon's
speech.
According to the registrar, Kansas residents enrolled in more than six hours as teachers or later than eight other law students will have to pay $240, while law students will pay $290. Non-residents in studies other than law will pay $315, while law students will pay $85.
Beginning next fall semester,
tuition fees will be increased $8.50
over this year's fees and they will

These costs include a $4.50 charge for Wesco Hall, a $3.00 fee for the student health service
and a $1.00 charge for support of the bus service, which was recently passed by the Student Senate.
Kansas residents enrolled in six hours or fewer will pay $18.30 per hour for normal enrollment and $21.30 for law. Non-residents will pay $38.30 and non-resident students will pay $41.30 per student.
Enrollment fees for students taking more than six hours cover service at Watkins Hospital, the use of the Kansas Union, Insurance without charge and subscription to the University Daily Kansan.
