CRC Urges Action On HRC Survey
The Civil Rights Council last night returned the fraternity discriminatory clause issue to the campus.
The CRC urged that the report made last spring by the Human Rights Committee (HRC) of the All Student Council be referred back to the HRC for reconsideration and evaluation
The proposal will be presented to the All Student Council Tuesday. Last spring, the ASC tabled the HRC report which was presented by Brian Grace, Lawrence junior, then HRC president. The report was compiled from HRC questionnaires distributed among KU students.
AT THAT TIME the HRC turned down a CRC suggestion to have two University professors, experienced in poll-taking, word the question-naire.
The CRC objection centers on alternatives offered in answer to the question "... which of the following do you feel would be the best organization to accomplish this removal (of clauses from fraternity constitutions)." The alternatives were the University administration, the ASC or the Inter-Fraternity Council and/or the fraternities and sororites themselves.
Don Warner, Topeka senior and CRC president, said CRC members believe that the wording of the question assumes only one of the alternatives is possible. He termed the wording of the questionnaire "loaded."
"WE BELIEVE all three are responsible for clause removal — the administration, the ASC and the fraternities and sororites," he said.
Warner said the Council does not necessarily disagree on the conclusions of the HRC, but it does object to the means by which the conclusions were reached.
In other action, the CRC decided to send a letter to Attorney General Robert Kennedy, urging that the Justice Department continue protection of James Meredith at the University. The letter urged "immediate action be taken against Governor Ross Barnett to insure that his example will offer no encouragement to other segregation leaders."
The letter said:
"The crisis assured James Mere-dith and literally, the whole world, that our nation considers its racial prejudice a disease which must be conquered rather than neglected."
TURNING to other matters Council members accepted Warner's new membership plan. New members will sign a loyalty statement and buy 25c membership cards. The fee entitles students to membership during their entire stay at the University.
Warner said that previously it was assumed that a student was a member if he were regularly enrolled at the University and had attended two CRC meetings.
In part, the proposed loyalty statement says:
"WE, THE undersigned, support through our membership of the CRC of KU in its struggle to obtain equal rights for all persons . . . through legal and non violent procedures.
Plans for the fourth annual Kansas conference on civil liberties were discussed. The all-day meeting will be held in the Kansas Union, Oct. 13. Miss Frances Levenson, director of the national committee against discrimination in housing, and Kansas Atty. Gen. William M. Ferguson, will be guest speakers.
Plan Model UN Interviews Today
Interviews for the Model United Nations Steering committee will be held from 7-11 p.m. today in the Oread Room of the Kansas Union.
The UN steering committee is a policy-forming body for the University of Kansas mock UN conference. This year's conference will be held March 29 and 30.
Betty Reynolds, Wellington senior and steering committee chairman said previous experience in the Model UN is the only committee qualification.
The annual mock UN has a long history on the campus. The meeting grew out of an International Relations club convention in Emporia in 1946. The first UN conference at KU was held in May, 1946, and was sponsored by the International Relations club, Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, and Pi Sigma Alpha, national political science society, and the University Forenics league.
WATERPROOFING—The trench in front of Watson Library has been dug so the building's foundation may be waterproofed. This is part of the construction project involving the new addition to the library.
Noted Kansas Editor To Be Honored Here
The 1962 addition to the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame will be announced during Kansas Editors' Day here Saturday.
The Hall of Fame is an honor roll of Kansas editors who have made outstanding contributions to their profession and state. Each year one new member is elected from a list of Kansas editors deceased at least three years.
THE ANNUAL election was started in 1931 by the then Department of Journalism. Among the Hall of Famers is William Allen White, for whom the KU School of Journalism is named. White was entered as a member in 1944.
The 1961 Hall of Fame winner, Frank Motz, was a graduate of KU and began his career as a reporter for the Kansas City Star. Motz was the late founder and publisher of the Hays Daily News.
The editor of the Abilene Reflector-Chronicle, Henry B. Jameson, will address Kansas newspaper editors at the general session of the conference.
Jameson will make his address, "We Shook Hell Out of the Community," immediately following the announcement of the 1962 addition to the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame.
JAMESON WILL speak on the opportunities of a small-city editor to stimulate interest in his newspaper by giving detailed and analytical coverage of local government. He will describe his coverage of the Dickinson County budget last July, particularly of the county's provisions for welfare expenditures.
Ballots for the Hall of Fame are sent each year to editors of all daily and weekly Kansas newspapers. Editors who have been in the newspaper business in Kansas 25 years or more are members of the Quarter Century Club and their votes count toward the election. Votes cast by other editors are counted in the nominations for the following year's holdover list.
The announcement of the 1962 winner will be made by Burton W. Marvin, dean of the School of Journalism.
Theatre Denies UDK Charges On Price Policy
The University Theatre yesterday denied University Daily Kansan editorial charges that its new prices and seating policy were unannounced and that it was forgetting the students.
Gordon Beck, instructor of speech and drama and head of ticket sales and publicity for the University Theatre, said the seating plan had been published widely in Daily Kansan advertisements, Lawrence Journal-World, Alumni Magazine, the new fine arts bulletin magazine "Intermission," and other newspapers and publications in this area.
BECK ATTRIBUTED the change in seating policy to rising costs.
"With every increase in price from royalties right on down to nails, things cost more money," he said. "The public, including the university campus, wants to see bright, lively, and necessarily expensive productions."
"We went back and made a very careful survey of the last five years to discover the number of student tickets used at each production. We have not scaled (the ticket prices) to deny any student admission to the University Theatre. Nearly half the house is student sectioned," Mr. Beck added. "We want students to come to the theater."
"We planned an extra production for 'Paint Your Wagon' because of student demand," Mr. Beck said. "Student demands far exceed the number of seats available for the previous November shows."
THE UNIVERSITY THEATRE tries to be self sufficient from its box office revenue, and last year's ticket prices were inadequate. Mr. Beck said. This year the University Theatre thought it best to adopt a graduated price scale to meet its expenses better.
"We have essentially followed the same plan as the University Concert Course in which there is a high-

Come-From-Behind Giants Open Series With Yanks Today
SAN FRANCISCO—(UPI) The dog-tired but dead-game Giants, riding the impetus of the wackiest pennant finish in baseball history, went out today to dispose of another old foe in the first game of the world series.
Two outs away from defeat, they ripped a page out of the past to down the Los Angeles Dodgers in the third and final game of their error-ridden dog fight for the National League flag.
Then, 11 years ago to the day, a home run swept them to victory over these same arch rivals. This time it was a walk and an error.
BACK THEN, after Bobby Thomson's pennant winning homer, the Yankees beat the Giants four games to two.
It was just as good. And now, as in 1951, it sends them against the well-rested Yankees—but this time they hope the outcome is different.
This is the seventh time the Giants and Yankees have met in the series with the Yankees the
victors in four of the previous six.
Manager Alvin Dark, still a little stunned, said it probably would be southpaw Billy O'Dell or right hander Jack Sanford as the Giant starter.
Hoping to get them off to a winning start, manager Ralph Houk of the Yankees, nominated his clutch southpaw ace, Whitey Ford, to open the series.
"I GUESS FLL have to talk to all my pitchers before I make up my mind," he said.
"I expect to pitch," said O'Dell, who won 19 games for the Giants this year.
If O'Dell goes today, it will be Sanford, a 24-game winner, to-morrow.
"I want to save (Billy) Pierce for the first game at Yankee stadium or. Sunday." Dark said.
The Giants still were so thrilled over their playoff triumph that they weren't looking to the future.
"The important thing was to beat
the Dodgers," says Mays. "That's the only thing that counted."
MAYS WAS ONE of the key players in the Giants come-from-behind triumph over the Dodgers at Los Angeles yesterday. His hard smash off relief pitcher Ed Poebuck's glove scored the first run in the big four-run Giant ninth inning and he also tallied the final run.
"Who ever thought we'd do it?" Mays kept asking over and over. "We were two runs down and we usually don't do very well against Roebuck."
But they did yesterday and won with a last ditch rally—just as they did 11 years ago.
THE DODGERS, who had come off the floor to win the second play-off game Tuesday, in front 4-2 going into the ninth, thanks to the spectacular base running of Maury Wills and the big bat of their bating and runs-batted-in champion, Tommy Davis.
Roebuck. who had come on in the
sixth inning in relief of starter Johnny Podres and got out of a bases-loaded jam with no one out, yielded a single to pinch-hitter Matty Alou to start the Giants ninth. But he got Harvey Kuenn to ground into a force play and the Dodgers looked like they might be home free.
It was not to be.
For Willie McCovey, batting for Hiller, walked and the panic was on. Roebuck also walked Felipe Alou and up came Mays.
Stan Williams, who won Tuesday's second game, then came in and retired Cepeda on a fly ball to right, the tying run scoring after the catch.
HE HIT A hard grounder that bounced off Roebuck's glove—Roe-buck said "I never saw the ball"—and the Giants closed their deficit to one run with the bases still loaded.
With Bailey at bat, a runner on third and Mays on first. Williams
uncorked a wild pitch. It wasn't wild enough to permit the runner from third to score, but Mays went to second on it.
SO MANAGER Walt Alston of the Dodgers ordered Williams to walk Bailey.
That strategy back-fired when Williams, with a three and one count, walked Davenport, forcing in what proved to be the winning run. Then came the fourth Dodger error of the game and the Giants had an insurance run.
That made it four for the inning — the same number the Giants scored in the ninth when they beat the Dodgers in that 1951 playoff.
The big ones back on that day in the Polo Grounds came on Thomson's home run. Yesterday they came on four walks, two hits and an error.
Dark and his players were glad that playoff history repeated itself. But they do hope that 1951 history won't continue into the series.
