VP Bowman says UDB too harsh
Marilyn Bowman, who was elected vice-president of the student body last spring, and suspended for her part in the ROTC demonstration in May, has no plans of re-crolling at the University of Kansas she said, though she plans to resume her education during the spring semester.
Miss Bowman, a Merriam junior, along with thirty-five other students, was suspended for participating in the disruption of the Chancellor's Review of the Reserve Officer's Training Corps, May 9.
This action was "fantastically stiff" compared with punishment at other schools, she said.
While the most tangible consequence of this punishment appears to be that those suspended will have to delay their educations or face their draft boards sooner, Miss Bowman said, the University Disciplinary Board has alienated more students and caused them to become more radical.
She also charged that the names of those males punished for their participation in the disruption of the Review were sent to their Selective Service Boards with orders that they be reclassified 1-A.
William Balfour, dean of student affairs, denies any truth to the allegation, stating that only the names of those students who had public hearings were published following disposition of the cases.
Balfour, under subpoena by the Senate Federal and State affairs Committee, headed by State Senator Reynolds Shultz of Lawrence, released the names of the 21 students who had private hearings Monday. The committee has not made the list public.
The most definite outcome of the series of events evolving from disruption of the review is that the Student Senate will elect a new vice-president from among its members at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The United States keeps two sets of figures on the number of GIs in Vietnam. This has often led to confusion with respect to troop reductions.
Ky, Nixon confused
Ky mentioned the figure 40,500 Monday. President Nixon announced the "actual" figure Tuesday as 35,000. There apparently is little or no difference in the two.

The Credit No Credit program is still experimental. The present program will remain in effect only for the school year 1969-70 unless extended, officials said.
ANNOUNCING NEW MODERN CAMPING FACILITIES!
A subcommittee of the University Senate Committee on Academic Procedures and Policies reviewed the Pass No Credit program continually during the school year 1968-69. The subcommittee, composed of both faculty and students, made several recommendations. The recommendations were passed by the Faculty Senate late last spring.
New modern camping facilities are now available (north of Lawrence just off Interstate 70). "Ideal for campus visitors!"
- Electrical hook-ups
- Modern Rest Rooms

The subcommittee recommended requiring a C or above for Credit to insure that graduate and professional schools will accept the mark as representing satisfactory quality work. Election of the option was postponed until after classes have started to allow students to attend class before having to make a decision, officials said.
