Religious Groups Active on Campus
Although the University of Kansas is a state-supported and nondenominational institution, student religious organizations are part of campus activities.
Full-time student religious centers are maintained by seven denominations: Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian, American Baptist, Southern Baptist, Catholic, and Christian.
There are at least 18 religious groups active on campus, in addition to the Student Religious Council which coordinates the activities of its member organizations.
Organizations include the Baptis
Student Center, Bnai Brith Hille
Foundation (Jewish), Canterbury
Association (Episcopal), Disciples
Student Fellowship (Christian)
Iota chapter of Gamma Delta (Lutheran),
Inter - Varsity Christian
Fellowship (Interdenominational)
Kappa Phi (Methodist), KU-
Young Men's Christian Association and Young Women's Christian Association, Liahona Fellowship
(Reorganized Latter Day Saints Youth Fellowship), Newman Club (Catholic), Roger Williams Fellowship (American Baptist, and Wesley Foundation.
According to a tabulation of religious preference forms filed during the spring semester, KU students of three denominations are more numerous than members of their denominations at the largest Kansas church-related schools of those denominations.
The following organizations are represented through the Westminster Center Council (Presbyterian): KU Mariners, Celtic Cross, Faith and Life Seminar, Sunday Evening Fellowship, United Presbyterian Men, and United Presbyterian Women.
The enrollment of 1,642 students of Methodist preference at KU compared with only 663 students of various denominations attending Methodist-supported Baker University, Baldwin.
The 1,106 Presbyterian students here outnumber 612 at the College of Emporia.
Catholic students at KU number 829, while 762 are enrolled at St. Benedict's College in Aitchison.
Not all enrollees of these three colleges, and other similar colleges, are necessarily members of that faith.
The figures on religious preference during the spring semester were: Assembly of God—18, Baptist—336, Baptist, Southern—97, Brethren—22, Buddhasi—32, Catholic—829, Christian—441, Christian Scientist—68, Church of Christ—62, Church of God—7, Community or Federated—5, United Church of Christ (Congregational)—445, Episcopal—542, Evangelical and Reformed — 60, Evangelical United Brethren—56, Friends 21, Greek Orthodox—23, Hindu—28, Jewish—124, Latter Day Saints—13, Lutheran, (except Missouri Synod)—225, Lutheran, Missouri Synod — 186, Mennonite—136, Methodist—1.642 Moslem—51, Nazaren—23, Pentecostal—2, Presbyterian—1.106, Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints—62, Seventh Day Adventist—17, Unitarian—91, Unity—14, Other religions—156, No preference—1.817.
Out of 9,900 students enrolled second semester, 8,747 turned in religious preference forms.
People Read More Despite Television
NEW YORK — (UPI) — Despite television, people are reading more books, particularly the paperback printing, than ever before.
Television exposure, in fact, has created new popularity for certain themes in the book field, according to Carl W. Holstrom, head of book operations for the F. W. Woolworth Co., largest paperback book seller in the world.
Fiction remains the biggest seller in the nationwide Woolworth chain.

OAS Leader Is Sentenced

PARIS — (UPI) — A special military tribunal sentenced Andre "Black Monocle" Canal to death last night for his leadership of the terrorist Secret Army Organization (OAS) in France.
Canal, 47, was in charge of OAS operations in France from mid-1961 until his arrest last January. He got his nickname from a black monocle he wore over his left eye which he lost in World War II.

The same court sentenced Jean-Marie Vincent, 22, to life imprisonment for leading OAS plastic bomb commandos under Canal.
The defense argued in vain that Canal could not be given the death sentence since ex-Gen. Raoul Salan got off with a lighter penalty. Salan, top OAS commander, was sentenced to life imprisonment for directing the secret army in Algeria.
Three other commando leaders have been executed for terrorist activities and ex-Gen. Edmond Johaud, former OAS deputy commander, is still in the condemned cell of the Fresnes prison awaiting execution.
"How can you condemn to death Andre Canal, who was not the supreme boss of the OAS, but who merely carried out orders which he received?" defense counsel Jean Tardiff asked.
Yesterday's sentences came shortly after Jean-Marie Bastien Thiry, 34, an aviation engineer, broke down after 48 hours of questioning at Paris police headquarters and admitted he was the ringleader of the abortive attempt to assassinate President Charles De Gaulle Aug. 22.
Student Union Activities (SUA) will hold its annual membership meeting at 7:30 tonight in the Memorial Union ballroom.
SUA Membership Meeting Schedule
More than 900 students are now SUA members but officers hope the ranks will swell to fill tasks created by additional Union facilities.
The purpose of tonight's meeting is to inform prospective members of SUA activities. These include efforts as the Homecoming dance and selection of speakers for the SUA lecture series.
Other SUA members concern themselves with art and exhibits, dances, forums, public relations, music and drama, special events, sports and hobbies, tournaments and lessons.
Membership is open to any student. Students may work in activities of their special interests. There are no special qualifications for prospective members and there are no fees.
Refreshments will be served at the meeting after orientation talks by committee heads. ___

Students Take To Air; Disregard Traffic Plan
By Trudy Meserve
The students are enrolled in two University courses providing actual flight training and ground school instruction.
While the University is fighting campus congestion with new traffic regulations, at least 30 students are veering their interests toward air travel.
The flight course is administered by the Erhart Flying Service at the Lawrence Municipal Airport and the University mechanics and aerospace engineering department.
In the flight course, students learn to fly and prepare for the Federal Aeronautics Administration examination, a license prerequisite. Ground work includes meteorology, civil air regulations, radio navigation and aerodynamics.
THE GROUND course, aeronautics for pilot training, is divided into two parts. One section is for students fulfilling requirements for private pilots' licenses. The other is for students working toward commercial pilots' licenses.
The courses are technical electives for engineering students, but C. J. Cholasmenos, aeronautical engineering professor and instructor of the two ground courses, said that many students from other University schools are enrolled.
Prof. Choliassmenos, a native of Greece, said the few women who have taken the courses have done well—"in several instances better than engineering students."
BEVERLY WORLING. Kansas City, Mo., freshman, is the only woman enrolled in the ground and flight courses this semester.
Miss Worling said she was attracted to aviation by her father, who is working for a commercial pilot's license. She hopes to complete requirements for a private pilot's license.
Prof. Choliaismenos was graduated from the Air Force Academy in Athens, Greece, as a fighter pilot.
He was sent by the civil aviation administration of Greece to America in 1951 to study air traffic control and returned to his native country to organize an air traffic program. Prof. Choliasmenos, who received his American citizenship in June, came to KU in 1958 and is a licensed power plane pilot and glider pilot.
