Kansans to Vote For Civil Rights Bill
Two U.S. Senators from Kansas and the Congressional representative from this district have promised their support of the civil rights bill now in Congress in letters to the All Student Council.
Kansas congressmen were informed early last month of the ASC's position on civil rights, which was set forth this fall in its "Declaration of Human Rights." The declaration, passed as an ASC bill, set forth a university policy of non-discrimination.
THE FIVE REPRESENTATIVES and two Senators were asked to consider the ASC legislation when considering the civil rights bill, which is not expected to be put to votes before January.
Sen. James B. Pearson replied that should Southerners filibuster “there is almost no doubt that an attempt will be made”—against the measure, he will vote for cloture, which stops debate.
"As you are probably aware, the House judiciary committee has issued a favorable report on the administration's civil rights proposal," he said. "The compromise legislation has already received a good deal of bipartisan support among House members and it is likely that the Hosie will approve it in the near future."
SEN. PEARSON EXPRESSED pleasure in learning of the ASC's human rights declaration.
Sen. Frank Carlson said congressional leaders have agreed on House action on the bill early in 1964, with Senate consideration following.
"I feel confident the legislation will be enacted early next year," Sen. Carlson said.
REP. ROBERT E. ELLSWORTH of Lawrence, 2nd district congressman, promised to fight for the legislation "all the way."
"I am not trying, nor do I want, to take from one race or group to give arbitrarily to another," Rep. Ellsworth said, "and I know that you do not want to do that either. But what we do want and must have is a law that will guarantee to every single American the full opportunity to advance according to his individual merits. We have to see that the
laws of this nation apply equally to all, and to guarantee that everyone has access to the full benefits of first class citizenship."
Rep. Garner E. Shriver of the 4th district, who also replied to the ASC letter, did not express an opinion on the merits of the civil rights bill.
College Bowl Entries Open
Entry blanks are being distributed to all organized living groups on campus for KU's third annual College Bowl contest.
Applications for the contest, which is patterned after the national television show, are due Jan. 17, according to Bob Shenk, Lawrence junior, and chairman of this year's committee.
DATES FOR THE contest are Feb. 23, Mar. 1, 15, and 22.
Completed entries must be returned to the College office along with a $6 entry fee which will be used to finance the contest. Extra blanks may be obtained at the College office.
Shenk urged representatives of unorganized students to pick up a blank and enter a team. "The contest could be strengthened by teams from the unorganized students, and I would like to see this happen," Shenk said.
CONTESTANTS MUST be undergraduates representing the same living group.
The winner of KU's contest will participate in the Big Eight meet which will be held in the spring. Last year, Stephenson Hall, KU's winner won the Big Eight contest.
As in the past two years, the matches will be held in the Kansas Union.
Shenk said there is a good possibility the final matches will be televised for release in either Topeka or Kansas City.
BERLIN—(UPI)Communist officials came to West Berlin today with the presents the city has awaited for three Christmas seasons-passes permitting West Berliners to cross the Communist Wall and visit relatives in East Berlin.
West Berliners Given Passes to East Sector
An estimated 800,000 West Berliners are eligible for the visits, which begin tomorrow and last until Jan. 5. Only those with close relatives in the Soviet sector may go, and they may spend only 17 hours, from 7 a.m. until midnight.
The visits will be the first permitted West Berliners since 12 days after the Communists built the wall on Aug. 13, 1961, splitting the city and many of its families.
EAST BERLINERS, sealed behind the wall and guarded against escape attempts, will get no chance to come to West Berlin under the visiting agreement. If they did, there would be no way for the Communists to make them come back.
Although the prospect of family reunions brought happiness to both sides of the wall, many West Berliners doubted the wisdom of dealing with the Communists, and West German newspapers warned that motives other than humanitarian were behind the Communist concessions.
It was the first time that the West Berlin city government conducted official talks with the East Germans. It had maintained in the past that
the proper negotiating partner for East Germany was West Germany. Any other arrangement, city officials felt, would reinforce the Communist contention that West Berlin's ties with West Germany are illegal.
Both the West Germans and the Western allies here maintained that the agreement changed nothing. The Allied commandants said in a statement that "these arrangements in no way affect the status of Berlin, which is defined in existing international agreements."
BUT THE EAST GERMANS were quick to make propaganda use of the negotiations. East German Deputy Premier Alexander Abusch said yesterday that "what has been done here in a small way can lead to wider talks. . . . This is a good beginning on which we can build toward better relations and peace."
Berliners were divided in their reaction.
But Franz Dennert, a 68-year old retired businessman, said, "I think it would be a good idea if we could carry on what has been started. Eventually we may be able to normalize other things."
"This is appeasement. I am not happy," said Hannelore Gross, a 29-year old West Berlin salesgirl.
The Frankfurter Allegemeine said in Frankfurt, West Germany, that "temporary Communist abandonment of an inhuman practice always is intended to strengthen the system of inhumanity."
