Segregation battle fought at lunchtime
By MARY SEXTON Staff Reporter
At a lunch counter 24 years ago yesterday in Greensboro, N.C., four college students helped to change the course of history.
For black residents of Greensboro, the counter lunch at the Woolworth's store had been a source of embarrassment, said B.J. Battle, a Greensboro resident and state treasurer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
"IT WAS IRRITATING to go into Woolworth's to shop but not be able to sit down at the lunch counter to eat." Battle said.
But on Feb. 1, 1960, David Richmond, Jibreel Joseh, Joseph McNeil and Fy inkain McCain, went to the Woolworth's lunch counter to pick up dinner, but it sit there until they were served, but they were never served, he said.
The Rev. Eddie Mayes, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, 900 New York St., said that this form of segregation was prevalent at this time throughout the South.
"When I was in the South, segregation was an accepted thing," Mayes said* "We had separate schools and we sat in the back of the bus."
"It became like a challenge," Battle said, who said he knew the members of the sit-in.
"The whole idea was to begin a movement." Battle said, "but I don't think the full ramification was felt by anyone."
The lunch counter incident was the moment of truth in the South, Mayes said. Sometimes it took someone to call it to your attention,
As a result of the Greensboro lunch counter sit-in, more than 70,000 students — white and black — attended in sit-ins in the next 18 months.
City settles with family of auto-accident victim
By the Kansan Staff
Lawrence recently settled out of court for $12,500 with the parents of a former Haskell Indian Junior College student who was injured when two cars struck her as she crossed the intersection of 23rd Street and Barker
City Manager Buford Watson said the city agreed to settle the suit that Albertine Myron's parents filed on her behalf.
Watson said a pedestrian-activated signal had been installed in the 1960s but that "continued vandalism had broken it and resulted in its removal."
HER PARENTS, who live in Tuba City, Ariz., charged in the lawsuit that the city was negligent because it did not recognize the traffic signal at the intersection.
Myron, who was 20 at the time of the November 1981 accident, broke a leg and received severe head injuries that caused brain damage, said Jerry Brown, his corner. Myron was treated at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Donnelly said that the Kansas Department of Transportation recommended in 1978 that the city upgrade the intersection and at least replace the pedestrian-activated signal. Donnelly said the changes were not made.
Since the accident, the city has received permission from the Kansas Highway Commission to upgrade safety on the corner and will continue with its plans, Watson said.
Bill might aid deaf witnesses
By the Kansan Staff
Paulette Strong, assistant director of the Student Assistance Center at the
University of Kansas, said that she favored a bill before the House Public Health and Welfare Committee that would require students to pay for qualified interpreters.
TOPEKA — Witnesses or principal parties in court cases or state proceedings who are deaf or have hearing or speech impairments should receive state-appointed interpreters, an official of the KU Student Assistance Center told a House committee yesterday.
The Kansas Commission for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired measure would maintain a list of qualified interpreters.
Strong said that having a list of qualified interpreters would insure consistency and effectiveness in the interpreters hired by the state.
Council to consider research policy
By the Kansan Staff
The University Senate Executive Committee yesterday approved sending proposals for classified research and grievance procedures to the University Council for consideration.
James Carothers, chairman of SenEx, said the classified research proposal was very different from the current policy.
The proposed policy would permit researchers to classify private research, Carothers said.

Tax perks on college gifts could help KU
TOPEKA - More private businesses may be knocking on KU's front door with presents in hand if the Legislature passes a bill currently before a Senate committee.
Staff Rep
The bill would provide tax credits for businesses that donated equipment such as computers and computer software to colleges and universities.
The businesses could subtract 30 percent of the value of the new businesses from their own revenues.
UNDER CURRENT LAW, GIFTS to schools can be claimed only as tax deductions. However, credits save donors more money than do deductions.
Bill Henry, executive vice president of the Kansas Engineering Society, said the bill would help modernize equipment at the state's engineering schools.
Educators strongly endorsed the bill yesterday in the last day of testimony before the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee.
of used equipment from the bottom line on their state income tax forms.
The equipment being used now is outdated and not very useful, he said.
"Today, each school has equipment that dates from the 1950s and is not representative of modern industrial practice," he said.
If the bill became law, more companies would make donations, and this might convince many teachers to stay in school so that more of entering private industry, he said.
"ONE WAY OF RETAINING our qualified instructors is to see that they have up-to-date equipment with which to experiment and perform research," he said. "The condition of our equipment today at the schools of engineering in the state of Kansas simply does not provide that incentive."
Stanley Kopik, executive director of the Board of Regents, suggested that the committee broaden the language of books to donate books and technical manuals.
"Under the current language, I'm not sure books would be allowed," he said. He said rewording the bill to include such titles would be helpful to buy equipment they really needed.
“A SCHOOL COULD BUY something on today's market rather than having to make adjustments for a piece of equipment that was a gift,” he said.
