Equip Barn For Lewis
The Big Barn, west of Lawrence,
has been equipped with $2,500 worth
of sound equipment and a $5,000 piano
for Jerry Lee Lewis, a rock n' roll singer who will be featured at the Delta Chi barn party tonight.
Lewis, his band, and his agent, Don Seat, will arrive in Lawrence from Des Moines, Ia., late this afternoon. Lewis has been on a barnstorming tour of the Midwest.
During his shows Lewis has been known to rip the ivory off the piano or tear the carpet off the floors. The singer will give a minimum of three half-hour shows.
Lewis' band—two drummers, three guitars and a saxophone—will play for four hours. Doors of the Big Barn will open at 7 p.m. The first performance will be at 8 p.m.
Bill Anderson, Delta Chi ticket chairman, said that finding sufficient parking area for the crowd was the fraternity's biggest problem.
"We're using a field that has never been used before. No parking will be allowed on the county road," Anderson said.
Anderson said the fraternity had received orders for tickets from Pittsburg, Topeka and Kansas City.
Approximately 100 tickets will be available at the door for $1.50.
Business Student Wins Cash Award
The first annual Solon E. Summerfield Senior Award in Business Administration has been awarded to Warren Richard Keller, Prairie Village senior, for his high scholastic achievement.
The award, a $250 cash prize, was presented yesterday afternoon by acting Dean Wiley S. Mitchell at an Homors Coffee in the Kansas Union.
The award is to be given each year by the Summerfield Foundation to the highest ranking senior in the School of Business, based on his grade point average in professional credit courses.
Keller maintains a 2.95 grade average in business courses and a 2.74 overall. He is president of the Business School Council and of Alpha Kappa Psi, the professional business fraternity and was elected to membership in Beta Gamma Sigma, honorary scholastic society, during his junior year.
IFC Hears Tape Plan
A tentative plan to reach people in an eight state area with facts about KU fraternities was presented to the Interfraternity Council last night by Carl Martinson, IFC public relations chairman.
Martinson said he had discussed plans with the new Radio Production Center to prepare an informational tape recording for release to radio stations in Kansas and seven surrounding states. But he emphasized that definite action is still far in the future.
THE IFC, in other business, elected four representatives to the National Interfraternity Council convention to be held later this year.
The four are James Carr, Carthage, Mo., senior, Delta Chi; Steve Stotts, Prairie Village junior, Beta Theta Pi; Alan Gribben, Parsons junior, Phi Kappa Psi, and David Stinson, Lawrence junior, Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
Donald K. Alderson, dean of men,
announced a new system of registering pledges with his office. In the past, each pledge has signed a list in the Dean of Men's office.
UNDER THE NEW system, fraternities will have a supply of pledge cards, which they will fill out and send to Alderson's office.
The IFC also discussed Greek Week and possible changes in the present system of fall rush week.

Foreign Student LIFE Picnic Is Set
The Lawrence International Friendship Enterprise (LIFE) will sponsor a picnic for international students at 5 p.m. tomorrow at Potter Lake. The public is invited
Riley Burcham, chairman of the LIFE program, said that people may drop in, have a picnic, then leave. All of KU's 366 foreign students have been invited.
The picnic will be moved inside Allen Field House in the event of bad weather.
LIFE is a Lawrence citizens' program set up last year to help international students attending KU. It has helped to locate housing for them and to introduce them to local residents.
junior-high or elementary school students with problems of personal, social or academic nature. The KU student tries to help these children by giving them friendship.
Terry Gilbert, Lawrence senior and co-chairman of the program, said that letting two students work with a child would increase the time the child could spend with an older friend.
Children for this program are selected by junior high school guidance counselors, Dr. June Smith, director of special education for elementary schools in Lawrence and C. C. Rankin, judge of the Douglas County Court.
"The program is not restricted to pre-delinquent children." Gilbert explained. "We have had some requests from parents to just be their child's friend."
Gilbert said the KU student's influence on a child is subtle.
"The counselor does not make a conscious effort to influence the child," he said. "But he does offer friendship and interest.
"The children need someone to take an interest in them.
"With perhaps one or two exceptions," Gilbert said, "every child has improved his school standing in either grades or attendance."

THE REV. MR. Harold Statler, part-time KACCR treasurer and treasurer for the Kansas Council of Churches, said he believes the conference will provide a direction for future actions of the KACCR.

KANSAS GOVERNOR John Anderson Jr., recently called for public support of the KACCR sponsored conference.
"It would be my hope that this conference will be well attended by those interested in a fair and equitable solution to the problems of housing and public accommodations throughout the state," he said.
