Band will perform
Group to discuss rights of soldiers
The constitutional rights of American GIs and the growing anti-war movement among army servicemen will be discussed at a rally sponsored by the Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Hoch Auditorium.
Joe Cole, an army private who was given a dishonorable discharge in August after allegedly helping to lead an anti-war demonstration at Ft. Jackson, S.C.
March 20, will be the speaker.
Pumpkin power
Despite this pumpkin's righteaning tendencies, the creator's pacifist message prevails. The peaceful pumpkin sits on a porch top at 1146 Tennessee.
Fund established
A scholarship fund for medical students has been established from a bequest of a half section of land in Harper County to the KU Endowment Association. The income from the land, valued at $102,000, will be used to establish the Dr. Philip Galloway Memorial Scholarship in medicine.
The gift is from the estate of Galloway's mother, Lillian Galloway, who died in 1968. Income from the land will provide scholarships for "deserving male Kansas students in the University of Kansas School of Medicine."
KU-Y sets discussion
A discussion to spur interest in KU-Y activities is scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Kansas Union Big Eight Room.
The meeting will acquaint members with the KU-Y's many programs and enlist aid in steering the group, said John Mauk, Conway senior and KU-Y vicepresident.
8 KANSAN Oct. 28 1969
Cole is also an organizer of GIs Against the War in Vietnam, a group of Ft. Jackson soldiers who promoted the anti-war feeling.
Cole, according to Bob Mears, Student Mobilization Committee spokesman, is presently appealing for an honorable discharge, claiming that his military record does not deserve a dishonorable discharge.
The "White Clover," a Topeka band, will give a benefit concert following Cole's speech in Hoch Auditorium. The group recently participated along with several name bands in the New Orleans Pops Festival, Mears said.
Donations to help cover the Nov.15 Washington trip will be collected at the concert.
The Student Mobilization Committee will meet at 7:30 Wednesday night in the Kansas Union Jayhawk Room. The group will discuss the Thursday night rally and begin planning panel discussions to follow Nixon's Nov. 3 national address concerning Vietnam.
Regents give insurers notice
TOPEKA—Letters calling for bids on University of Kansas Medical Center liability coverage have been sent to 100 insurance companies, Max Bickford, Board of Regents Executive Secretary, said Monday.
Bids on the $1 million coverage which the Regents consider "safe" for the Medical Center were not restricted to Kansas agencies, Bickford said.
He said that most hospitals normally carry this amount of insurance and that the Regents decided it was a good standard for the Medical Center.
Muchnic award given
W. D. McNeely III, Colby, has been awarded a $300 Muchnic Foundation Scholarship for the 1969-70 academic year in the University of Kansas School of Engineering.
McNeely, who will be a senior in electrical engineering, has been on the Dean's honor roll and has a cumulative grade point average of 2.32.
The scholarship was established by the Musnich Foundation of Atchison to encourage and reward excellent academic work by juniors and seniors in the School of Engineering.
