Discrimination Solution Vague Says Mayor
Lawrence Mayor T. A. (Ted) Kennedy said yesterday that there is-probably no complete answer to discrimination problems in Law-rence.
"Peshaps there is a middle ground," he commented.
"I CAN STILL remember when I was attending KU. The Negro students had only one booth to sit in at the Hawk's Nest. The situation today has changed."
A commission was established in Lawrence last spring, the Human Relations Commission, to study discrimination problems.
"IT IS ONLY an advisory group like the other commissions under our governmental setup. It works much the same way as the traffic commission or the park commission." said Kennedy.
The Human Relations Commission is a nine-member group, with three members appointed for three years, three for two years and three for one year.
ACCORDING TO Mr. Kennedy, the main role of the organization is to achieve better relationships between the citizens of Lawrence. In this capacity, it will first investigate any discrimination problems, then advise the City Commission on possible measures to be taken. The first meeting of the Human Relations Commission will be Oct. 4, at which time a chairman and secretary will be appointed and monthly meeting date will be established. The meetings will be open to the public.

A University of Kansas librarian said today he agreed with the decision in the Junction City hearing on obscene literature, although he had testified there are contemporary novels "more graphic in their erotic passages" than the indicted books.
JOSEPH RUBENSTEIN, librarian and assistant professor of bibliography, said:
Librarian Agrees On Court Ruling
Catalina Campus Headquarters:
"I think the judge interpreted the Kansas statute correctly. As judged by the text of the law, the books were obscene."
Prof. Rubenstein appeared in defense of the indicted books. He was asked at the hearing if there are books commonly available with passages concerning sex behavior that go beyond the indicted books.
"I TESTIFIED that there are indeed such books more extreme than those in question," he said.
"Tropic of Cancer," "From Here to Eternity," and "Lady Chatterly's Lover" were some of the novels compared to the seized books.
Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.—Aesop
In his decision Judge Fletcher said that sex was subservient to the plot in the contemporary novels whereas plot was subservient to sex in the indicted books.
People-to-People Take Industrial Tour
The first in a series of industrial tours for foreign students, in connection with People-to-People, began today.
Approximately 25 foreign students attending the University of Kansas are touring the Cook Paint Company in Kansas City this afternoon. They are being accompanied by three other KU students: Bob Thomas, Marysville senior, Charlie McLure, Long Horn, Texas senior, and Becky Myers, Salina senior.
The tour is sponsored by the Kansas City Alumni Association. Miss Myers, a member of the People-to-People program, said that plans call for at least one tour each month. Several farm tours are being planned, she reported.

ONCE MORE, UNTO THE BREACH
With this installment I begin my eighth year of writing columns for the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes, as fine a bunch of men as you would meet in a month of Sundays—loyal, true, robust, windswept, forthright, tattooed—in short, precisely the kind of men you would expect them to be if you were familiar with the cigarettes they make—and I hope you are—for Marlboro, like its makers, is loyal, true, robust, windswept, forthright, tattooed.
There is, however, one important difference between Marlboro and its makers. Marlboro has a filter and the makers do not—except of course for Windswept T. Sigafoos, Vice President in charge of Media Research. Mr. Sigafoos does have a filter. I don't mean that Mr. Sigafoos personally has a filter. What I mean is that he has a filter in his swimming pool at his home in Fairbanks, Alaska. You might think that Fairbanks is rather an odd place for Mr. Sigafoos to live, being such a long distance
from the Marlboro home office in New York City. But it should be pointed out that Mr. Sigafos is not required to be at work until 10 A.M.
But I digress. This column, I say, will take up questions of burning interest to the academic world—like "Should French conversation classes be conducted in English?" and "Should students be allowed to attend first hour classes in pajamas and robes?" and "Can a student of 18 find happiness with an economics professor of 90?"
Because many of you are new to college, especially freshmen, perhaps it would be well in this opening column to start with campus fundamentals. What, for example, does "Alma Mater"? mean? Well, sir, "Alma Mater" is Latin for "send money".
What does "Dean" mean? Well, sir, "Dean" is Latin for "don't get caught".
What does "dormitory" mean? Well, sir, "dormitory" is Latin for "bed of pain".
Next, let us discuss student-teacher relationships. In college the keynote of the relationship between student and teacher is informality. When you meet a teacher on campus, you need not salute. Simply tug your forelock. If you are bald and have no forelock, a low curtsey will suffice. In no circumstances should you polish a teacher's car or sponge and press his suit. It is, however, permissible to worm his dog.
With the President of the University, of course, your relationship will be a bit more formal. When you encounter the President, fling yourself prone on the sidewalk and sing loudly:
"Prexy is wise
Prexy is true
Prexy is true
Prexy has eyes
Of Lake Louise blue."
As you can see, the President of the University is called "Prexy". Similarly, Deans are called "Dixie". Professors are called "Proxie". Housemothers are called "Hoxie Moxie". Students are called "Amoebae".
