Protesters make journey on bus floor
Kansans go to Washington moratorium
By IRENE ECONOMOUS Kansan Staff Writer
WASHINGTON — The Kansas contingent to the Washington moratorium represented a cross-section of Kansas vocations. The oddly assorted group of nearly 100 people included housewives, businessmen and high school students.
Five luckless protesters had to make the 1,000 mile journey on the floor of the Kansas City bus. The bus company announced they would have to pay $25 extra for the privilege. They initially paid $35. Fellow protesters contributed the $125.
Members of the bus also contributed $35 for one unwitting girl who arrived without the bus fare.
Two other protesters who could not get on either of the two buses had no funds to drive to Washington. Another impromptu fundraising campaign netted $40.
The pilgrimage to the capital began at 10:30 p.m. Thursday.
At 8:30 p.m. Friday the bus arrived in Washington, D.C.
At Arlington National Cemetery five national guardsmen greeted the bus and told the driver he could not park there.
"There's 20,000 people out there marching while you sit here trying to find out where to go," said a young black who also met the protesters at the cemetery.
The marchers plodded five blocks to the starting point for the March Against Death where plastic pavilions had been set up.
"I wouldn't go out there if I were you. All you're going to get is a rap on the head," he told them.
Many marchers huddled together in groups. The pungent aroma of marijuna began to permeate the tent. Other protesters fortified themselves by draughts from hidden flasks.
Law students give free legal counseling
The purpose of the Law Students Civil Rights Research Council (LSCRRC) is to provide free the legal services law students can give to anyone who needs them.
"We can't actually give legal advice," said KU's LSCRC vicechairman George J. Pierron, Olathe law student. "That would be practicing law without a license, but we will do research on legal questions and give our findings to the person who needs them."
The LSCRRC was organized at KU in 1968. The organization is nation-wide with its main offices in San Francisco and New York.
Pierron said the council was composed of students except for the directors who are law graduates. It was given some support from organizations such as the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations.
Although students of any year in the law school may join, the 15 to 20 members of KU's chapter are mainly second year law students.
Current projects include researching civil rights problems for Fred Six, head of the Douglas County Legal Aid Society, and research for Oswald P. Backus, professor of Russian his-

When a 10-mile section of Interstate Highway 635, the Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway, was opened, the state highway commissioner burned through the ribbon with a laser beam.
"The LSCRRC provides some of the best experience for first law students or any law student not involved in a clinical program," said Pierron. "It's a chance to do research on real problems."
The next morning the protesters gathered on the Mall by the Capitol building and formed together by states for the mass march. Some of the Kansas people never got to participate in
Pierron said the council was also planning to research the aspects of alleged police harrassment in Tooeka parks.
One man stood silently by his car parked along the route on which he had put a sign.
As the march began, the protesters were constantly watched by police and national guardsmen.
The LSCRRC also has a summer internship program in which law students work with civil rights programs such as the welfare department.

The sign said his son had died in Vietnam for "freedom loving people like you" and he did not want his son's name carried in the protest.
