Planning delayed on Union
(Continued from page 1) have been retired ten years ahead of schedule.
Students are currently paying $9.50 per semester in student fees to the Union. Four and a half dollars of it are used for operations, with an additional $2 from the 1950 bond levy to support the increased cost of non-revenue-producing Union operations. Keith Nitcher, vice-chancellor for finance, said, "You couldn't price food high enough to support the entire operation."
This $2 will be used for renovation and repairs.
A total of $250,000 will be dedicated to weather-proofing the original Union roof, repairing plumbing and other facilities, and replacing 1952 furniture during
the fiscal years 1970-1974. A $1 special working capital reserve has been established. The remainder of the 1950 fee assessment will be used to finance the satellite union.
Unavoidable delays have hampered the completion of additions to the Bookstore, Alumni Offices and the Council Room, but these facilities will be finished by Oct. 11, Burge said. He blamed record-breaking rains in August and September of 1968 and strikes by suppliers and sheet metal workers for the setback.
Jim Stoner, director of the Union Bookstore, said blue slip receipts, estimated to total $10,000 in face value, have been contributed for application to the scholarship fund for underprivileged students. The rebates collected on them will be applied toward the $30-$35,000 pledged to the fund, with the remainder to be supplied from the patronage refund monies.
Burge said although the Union building closes at 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday nights, the Trail Room remains open until 12 p.m. daily. A misleading notice to the contrary will be removed from the Union bulletin board.
The proposed Student Union Activities budget for 1969-70 was reviewed and approved. A total of $12,500 was allocated to SUA for films, concerts, forums and other activities.
Burge tightly denied allegations made by R. K. Mitchell in his
column, The Apologist, in Wednesday's University Daily Kansan. Mitchell accused Burge of owning a "veritable concession empire" on Midwestern college campuses and of operating the Kansas Union as a profit-making business.
'SPRAINED' ANKLES
SANTA BARBARA. Calif.
(UPI)-People call almost any ankle injury "a sprained ankle" but the term is too loose, says Dr. Robert W. Olson, a radiologist here. A truly sprained ankle has one or more of the ligaments partially or completely torn, and it's nothing to pooh-pooh.
In a statement to the Kansan distributed to members of the Union Operating Board, Burge emphasized the effort made to inform the students of Union operations, including an annual budgetary breakdown that is printed in the Kansan each spring.
The Union Operating Board rejected the allegations and unanimously supported Burge.
Quick diagnosis by arthrography, in which x-ray visualization of the joint is attained by the injection of contrast material, is necessary, Olson indicates, to get repair going and avoid confusing diagnosis later when the tears may be sealed by clots and adhesions.

On Feb. 21, a fire bomb exploded in the Military Science building causing minor damage. Three other bombs were also found in the building, but they failed to go off. This sparked an investigation by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the state fire marshal and the city and local police departments.
Some considered the bombing to be an anti-war protest.
Fifteen to 20 persons broke up a ROTC review on the front lawn of Allen Field House on April 30. The demonstrators ran through the crowds with cap pistols and water guns.
The Chancellor's ROTC Review was cancelled on May 9, when a large group of students filled the stadium grounds, forcing a halt to the proceedings. This led to an investigation by the University Disciplinary Board.
After the investigation, hearings were held and students found guilty were given punishments ranging from reprimands to suspension.
Judge Frank Gray of the Douglas County Court may soon issue a permanent injunction restricting campus disorders.
Disruption of these hearings prompted Kansas Attorney General Kent Frizzell to issue a restraining order. This order named seven defendants and was extended to include all students with the inclusion of "John Die" and "Mary Roe."
Charles Oldfather, professor of law, said, "Most things under law are done in context. The whole context relates to the disruptive events familiar to all of us."
"argued as strongly as possible for keeping the document secret." He felt that the release would be a breach of faith with the students. He also said, "The release of those names may split this campus wide open."
Assistant Attorney General Lance Burr said that in an effort to quell disorders, similar orders have been issued across the nation.
Shultz contended, "We have all the justification in the world to release those names." He felt the people of the state wanted to know the names of students disrupting a state supported institution.
The students who appeared in open hearings had their names and punishments released to the press on July 1. William Balfour, dean of student affairs, was subpoenaed Sept. 15, and released the names of the 21 students privately disciplined to the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee.
In handing over the names to the chairman of the committee, State Senator Reynolds Shultz, R-Lawrence, Balfour said that he

The names are due to be released within two weeks.
There was also unrest among the members of the black community. Areas of discussion ranged from the pom pon squad to a Black Studies program. Due to a high degree of interest among both black and white students, black history courses were introduced at KU. One course had a few problems such as hard to follow lectures and the inaccessibility of the teacher who had to commute from the Kansas City area, students said. The discussion sessions were cited by some of the students as the most helpful and interesting part of the course.
This year, the pompon squad has been enlarged to make room for the addition of two black squad members.
A Challenge to a DEEPER LIFE HAPPENING
One of the organizations most influential in gaining black equality is the Black Student Union. Since its official recognition in September 1968, it has been attempting to mold blacks into one body to provide a strong and respected voice.

The First Artaud Romantic Tautological Society organized demonstrations against marine recruiters in the Kansas Union last spring. Rev. Tom Rehorn, former director of the Wesley Foundation, commented of the group, "Their name indicates who they are and what they stand for."
Also last spring there was a controversy over whether the KU campus police should be allowed to carry guns.
Although they had no authority in the matter, the All-Student Council voted on a resolution calling for all the campus police to "hang up their guns." This resolution was defeated, but was soon replaced by one which set up hours for police to carry weapons.
The campus police are still carrying guns.
