Nunemaker college to boost CWC

Kansan, Staff, Writer
The College-within-the-College (CWC) program, now in its fourth year at the University of Kansas, may receive a boost in its development with the proposed creation of Nunemaker College next year.
Delbert Shankel, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said Nunemaker College will replace Corbin College, one of the five existing colleges which make up the CWC program. The other four colleges are North, Centennial, Pearson and Oliver College.
The creation of the college was made possible
through a $350,000 gift from Irene Nunemaker of New York City, a 1922 KU graduate of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The gift, announced last spring by former Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, will fund construction of a building to provide classrooms, a library, a lounge, faculty and administrative offices and an apartment for visiting professors.
Keith Lawton, vice-chancellor of operations, said the building would be located on the slope of the hill behind Lewis Hall and between Jayhawk Towers.
"The floor plan has already been approved by the Board of Regents," Lawton said. They now are
working on a set of plans to submit to the contractors for bids."
Construction will begin the early part of 1970 with completion scheduled before the fall semester.
Jerry Lewis, director of Centennial College, said the new facilities would provide a place where students and faculty could get together in a warm informal atmosphere.
Lewis said the building would meet the need for bigger and better facilities, a major need of the CWC program.

Apollo 12 systems all 'go'
The University of Kansas—Lawrence, Kansas Friday, Nov. 14, 1969
BULLETIN
CAPE KENNEDY (UPI) — Apollo 12 was launched today at 10:22 a.m. CST on man's second moon landing mission.
A thick fast-moving squall had threatened the launch until the final moments, but Apollo 12 blasted off on time and the astronauts reported all systems were "go."
CAPE KENNEDY—With the countdown back on schedule, technicians fueled Apollo 12's rocket early today for the launch of three Navy pilots on an ambitious expedition to explore a moon desert called the Ocean of Storms.
Everything was rolling smoothly toward an on-time 11:22 a.m. EST blastoff for Charles "Pete" Conrad Jr., Richard F. Gordon and Alan L. Bean in the moonship Yankee Clipper.
Forecasters said rainy weather that hit the Cape Thursday might continue through liftoff time, but a spokesman said "This is not going to be a constraint to launch as presently viewed." All other aspects of the preparations for the 10-day, million-mile round trip were reported "go."
The ticklish rocket fueling operation began in the early morning hours with the 363-foot rocket glowing in the glare of powerful floodlights. When fully fueled with 1 million gallons of liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen and kerosene, the Saturn 5 weighs more than 3,000 tons—as much as a Navy destroyer.
Object Is Scientific
The object of man's second trip to a landing on earth's nearest celestial neighbor—255,617 miles away today—was to start returning scientific dividends from America's $25 billion moon flight

Candles light D.C. walk
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Vietnam protesters bearing candles and the names of dead soldiers filed quietly from Arlington Cemetery past the White House to the foot of the U.S. Capitol Thursday to initiate a 40-hour "March Against Death."
The marchers, numbering in the thousands, passed single file and hand-in-hand along the route.
There were no reports of trouble during the initial stages of the three-day antiwar showing in security-edgy Washington.
Participants in the procession opposing President Nixon's war policy even halted for red lights at street corners as they headed for the historic Pennsylvania Avenue fences.
They were led by the 23-year-
old widow of a Navy lieutenant killed in Vietnam and they marched to the mournful cadence of seven drummers.
At 9:30 p.m., a light cold rain began to fall. But still the marchers came, stepping off on the four-mile hike at an estimated rate of 1,200 an hour.

Javits expresses dissent
WASHINGTON—Sen. Jacob K. Javits, R-N.Y., said today Clement F. Haynsworth, Jr.'s views on civil rights were so out of date and insensitive to the rights of blacks he could not support his Supreme Court nomination.
With formal debate on the controversial nomination under way at last, Javits said he had reviewed every segregation opinion—majority, concurring or dissent—Haynsworth wrote since he went on the federal circuit bench in 1957.
79 per cent back Nixon
NEW YORK—Public support for President Nixon's Vietnam policies reached a new high after his Nov. 3 speech, a poll taken by Sindlinger & Company a marketing and opinion research firm, showed Thursday.
Almost 8 out of 10 or 79.2 per cent of those surveyed supported the President, Sindlinger said. The previous high of 72 per cent was recorded last June just after his troop withdrawal announcement and was followed by a drop to 61.5 per cent in September.
