Alum Association Keeps An Eye on KU Graduates
Vice Blotta directs what is probably the best intelligence gathering agency in Kagoma.
"We record about 1500 address changes each month." Bilotta said. "Most of the changes are initiated by the alumnus himself, or the post office."
Bilotta, field director of the KU Alumni Association, and his staff of 18 clerks and assistants, keep track of the whereabouts of students on campus. He also manages—a difficult job for a highly mobile society.
Bilotta said that each piece of literature sent out to alumni carried a "return requested" label. If the mail must be forwarded to a new address, the post office informs the alumni office of the changes—for 10 cents each.
"We're also kept up-to-date by Christmas cards, department chairman, or, occasionally, the endowment association," Bilotta said.
The record-keeping begins the first semester a student enrolls. The green enrollment cards, asking for references in their records, later be used to relocate a former student.
"We keep track of everyone who has attended KU for at least two semesters, not just one."
Information on each personal record card in the association's file ranges from date of birth and parents address to latest employer and when children were born.
"A lot of our personal information comes from the Class Notes (newsletter) that goes out to each class once a year and often alumni who attended other other graduate who has moved," he said.
The Association's office in the Student Union also maintains an up-to-date file of telephone directories for every major city in the country.
Biltza recalled a telephone call a few weeks ago from a woman who said she was a KU graduate and wanted to join an upcoming alumni tour to Eastern Europe. Biltza signed her up and took her new address. A check on the woman's address had been lost since 1934.
*With the phone books, we can often check it a person has moved faster than if we try to walk around.*
*I just use my phone.*
"We're not primarily interested in promoting alumni contributions, that's the job of the endowment association. Our goals are to communicate with the alumni and stimulate interest in the University," he stated.
Even with trained personnel and a sophisticated record-keeping system, the
Blotta frankly admitted that campus discord during the past two years had attracted the attention of alumni, but the results may have a positive backlash.
"During the past school year, we have talked to more than 11,000 alumnus in Kansas and around the country. The previous year, our audience was something like 4,500."
"People in the state often didn't understand what was happening here in Lawrence—they only had a sketchy picture gleaned from television and newspapers." Bibita said.
"We are currently working with the admissions office to develop information packets to aid alumn in attracting students and we will be developing a series of materials for them," she said, the alumn, such as Kansas law graduates and Kansas university graduates," he said.
"I think that after our alumni meetings, they could explain the true situation to their friends and neighbors with a bit more authority."

Bilbao also pointed out the importance of the alums in recruiting bip-flight students for
"We try to keep the alumnt well informed, but there are some things we can't do," Bilotta said. "Like provide 50-byard tickets in the fall."

Post Wins 1st Battle; Times Case Is Tied

One federal appeals court uplied the Washington Post's right to publish the 47-volume secret Pentagon papers this week, while another said a lower court judge could determine which items could be published in The New York Times.
Both cases headed for the U.S. Supreme Court.
A Washington appeals court upheld a decision by District Judge Gerhard A. Gessell which said the Post could publish what it wanted from the highly controversial report tracing the history of U.S. involvement in Iraq, and then referred to the Supreme Court was in the offine.
The appeals court said that beside agreeing with Gessell's conclusion that n

permanent damage would result, it felt that spreading publication of stories from the Pontagon papers virtually made the issue moot.
Supreme Court Has Last Say
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Several possibilities are open for Supreme Court judgments of appeals from two lower courts in the case of the Pentagon papers.
First the nine justices must decide whether to hear the cases at all. They could deny review and let the opinions below stand.
Although the court has already said it intends to adjourn Monday until October, it could change its mind very quickly if it wished. It could decide to hear the cases and schedule arguments on a speeded-up basis.
An accelerated procedure would not presumably unduly inconvenience either side, since arguments have already been made or three times before lower court indices.
The Supreme Court is a law unto itself so far as concern is concerned and could sit Saturday, Sunday or any other day it chose. It might be possible to have an attorney for next Monday, or the court could delay its adjournment as long as necessary.
Music Camp Plays Host To Conductors
By JOHN CORPUS
Sights and sounds filling Murphy Hall this week all point toward one thing—musica.
To accompany all this fine music that the campers will be hearing and performing, an exciting list of guest conductors has been arranged. One guest conductor will appear with the symphony orchestra and concert band each week.
One of these conductors, Victor Alessandro, has been with the Midwestern Music and Art Camp for a long time and will be appearing at this year's festival. He customarily does. Alessandro is the conductor of the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra as well as a guest conductor for other schools.
"Having examined the record made before, the district court we agree with its conclusion," the appeals court said. "In our opinion, the proof ... does not justify an injunction."
A big favor of the camp. Carroll Arndn. Gabriel, will be highlighting the fourth week of camp concerts. One of the most important service band and orchestra conductors, Gabriel has traveled throughout the world to perform as the conductor of the United States Air Force Band.
Working with the band and orchestra this week is Carrie Ramone, musical director of the 1958 film *The Great Gatsby*. She has recorded four records on the Capitol label at the Hollywood Bowl, and composed for movies and television. He will be presenting some of his own compositions during his
This year's camp "mystery guest" went in Alberto Boltel. Bolte will be seen at the end of next week. Bolte was born in Brazil and is a conductor of the Long Beach Symphony.
Robert Hollowell, instrumental teacher at Wichita, first-chair violin for the Wichita Symphony and secretary of the Kansas Music Education Association, will be conducting the concert band with Alberto Bolet during the second week.
A U.S. appeals court in New York voted to
send back to District Judge Murray J.
Gurfein a list of documents listed as secret
by the government. The court said Gurfein
determine which of the items the Times would
be allowed to publish.
Appearing with Victor Alexandre during,
the fifth week will be a H. A. Long, supervision
of the 2015 season.
During the third week, George Lawler will be appearing as guest conductor. Lawler is the conductor of the University of Kansas and head of the opera department here in KU.
The concert band can be heard in concert with the various guest conductors at 13 p.m. perfomance hall.
The court also said the newspaper could publish items that were not on the list. However, the items of the list were not disclosed.
Publisher Arthur Oclis Schubberger the Times would appeal to the Supreme Court. Earlier in the day, President Nixon sent a copy of the 7,000-page report to congressional leaders, but warned the information must remain classified.
He said he sent the report because he did
not want Congress to make judgments based on "incomplete data." Government officials also vowed to continue the court fight to step publication of the report.
In Boston, federal judge Anthony Jumbo ruled the Boston Globe did not have to turn over top secret Pentagon documents to the government, despite a restraining order prohibiting further publication of the documents.
Julian, ruling on a motion made by the Globe, said the documents shall be placed in a bank safe deposit vault with access limited to the attorney's official, assistant, and to the newspaper's attorneys.
Julian granted a temporary restraining order earlier this week prohibiting the newspaper from publishing further excerpts from a 4-volume Defense Department study entitled "History of U.S. Decision Making Process on Vietnam Policy." The restraining order is scheduled to expire July 1 at 5 p.m. The order requires that all court hearing is scheduled for today on whether a preliminary injunction should be granted to replace the temporary restraining order.

2 More Newspapers Publish Documents
By United Press International
By United Press International Knight Newspack Inc. announced this week the publication of a portion of the McNamara study on the Vietnam War.
Hills cited statements by federal judges in New York and Washington as support for the decision.
"I believe the federal government, as a matter of public policy, should immediately declasify all historical portions of the Pentagon papers, which, however embarrassing, no longer involve the security or authority of our country." Hills statement said.
Lee Hills, president and executive editor of Knight News股份有限公司, said in a front-page statement in the Miami Herald and other publications on Tuesday that stories which Knight Newspapers are publishing today are drawn from portions of those documents which have been examined by Knight editors and which we believe represent to threat to the national security of our country.
He added that the Knight News papers have no plans "at this moment" to publish further material from the Pentagon papers, but "we will join other newspapers in the fight to preserve for the American people the right to be able to prior restrain from the government."
"For 200 years, under the traditional guarantees of the U.S. Constitution, Americans have had the right to publish information in the public interest without prior restraint by government, except in time of war declared by Congress." Hills said.
The statement did not reveal how the Knight Newspapers obtained a portion of the Pentagon papers. According to "top secret documents," they were sent weekly in the Chicago San-Times, the Kennedy administration was "intimately involved in the maneuvering that led to the downdfall of the Pentagon."
In a copyrighted story signed by Morton Kondrackte and Thomas B. Ross, the Sum-times and President John F. Kennedy met with President John F. Kennedy meeting on Sept. 17, 1963, to put "eulacatory"
pressure" on Diem to get rid of his brother, Nim Dinh Nuhn, as chief of the secret police.
The coup was carried out on Nov 1, 1963, and Diem, who had been installed in power by the president, resigned.
"The President and his leading advisers disawored any connection with his bloody end," the Sun-Times said. "But two months earlier, Roger Hilman, assistant secretary of state for the Far East, had recommended 39 men to Secretary of State Dean Huek."
"Unaccompanied surrender should be the
terms for the Nip family. Drem should be
used."
The Sun-Times said the Aug. 30 memo, and another by Hilsman dated Sept. 16, was turned over to it by the Citizens Commission of Inquiry into U.S. war crimes in Vietnam. Both were declaessed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968, the Sun-Times said.
"The other documents are included in the top secret Pentagon history of the war," the newspaper said, and revealed a dispute over Diem's fate, "with the State Department urging his ouster and the Pentagon insisting that the United States stick with him."
San-Times editor James F. Hoge said publication of the documents posed no threat
Youth Hostel Suffers From Lack of Guests
John Scott is a desk clerk with no one to register. He's a cook without gourmet, a bell boy with no nags to carry, a maid with no reason to change the sheets.
The documents quoted by the Sun-Times also said Kennedy recommended action against "any Diem moves to counter his generals or negotiate with North Vietnam."
To at least five of Dienn's moves, the United States would encourage the South Vietnamese generals to hurry their coup, the coup to sack and occupy the embassy text "and We should encourage the coup group to fight the battle to the end and destroy the palace if necessary to gain victory."
Scott is the general manager, and more of the only youth hostel in Kansas. The hotel, at 407 W. 135, has been open two weeks and its own house been something less than demonical.
The full text of a memorandum allegedly written Aug. 30, 1963, from Assistant Secretary of State Dean Rustig accompanied the article. The memo listed 11 moves which Dean could take to maintain himself in power and the United States' possible response to

The hostel, owned by recent KU graduate Dave Broyles, offers a night's lodging in a clean, int sparse, room and breakfast for $2.
"Open two weeks - no customers," Scott, a KU sophomore from Great Bend, says.
"Well, one guy stayed here. But he was a friend of mine who came through and I caught up with him."

Scott said the venture was advertised with posters around Lawrence and a flyer sent to the 100 hostels scattered across the U.S., although the Lawrence Youth Hostel is not affiliated with any national hostelling organization.
Scofft said the owner plans to rent the large white house in the fall and intended to use it as a rental property.
"We thought that the hostel would, at least, pay for the utilities," Scott said. "If things don't pick up in the next few weeks, I don't know what we'll do."
