TKE's Deny 'Nude Figure' Ad Was Obscene
Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity denied today that the 14-foot mude figure which it displayed on the advertising for its Worthal candidate Nov. 10 was in any way obscene.
"The nude was perfectly proportioned." George Howell, social chairman of the fraternity said today. He added that if the figure had been exaggerated or made grotesque in any way, he could understand why it would be considered in bad taste.
Robert Dring, president of the fraternity, and Howell plan to attend a meeting of the disciplinary committee tonight to appeal their side of the case.
Howell said there was no malice of forethought in the action taken and the men involved didn't realize what the repercussions would be.
The fraternity was granted permission to advertise its candidate for Worthal at the game by Student Union Activities. Howell was in charge of the publicity campaign and of building the float.
It was also Howell's idea to use the 14-foot nude. He said the men had finished building the float before the game Saturday, but he felt it needed something to attract attention. Then he remembered the nude which had been left over from a party and stored in the basement of the TKE house. He went down and got it and tacked it on the float.
Howell added that the fraternity had apologized to Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy for the action.
Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men, said the disciplinary committee will not reach a final decision on the issue at least until after the meeting tonight.
Campus Chest Short Of Goal
A total of $1,427.66, or better than 57 per cent of the goal of $2,500, has been collected for the Campus Chest.
Loy Kirkpatrick, chairman of the drive, requested that all solicitors turn in their money, since the drive will end in a few days.
The chest thermometer, which was located in Fowler grove for recording the daily progress of the campaign, was destroyed by rain Sunday night. It will not be replaced, Kirkpatrick said.
Students who have not been solicited and desire to contribute may leave their contributions at the business office in Strong hall.

Problems of the foreign student on the campus will be the opening topic of the campus affairs committee at 7:15 p.m. tonight in 200 Strong hall.

Several foreign students have been invited. They will be asked to offer personal reactions to the University and its students.

Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy told a Daily Kansan reporter Monday that the administration refused permission to sell the publication because of the ruling that publications not published at the University by KU students cannot be sold on the campus.
"The magazine is published in New York state." Dr. Murphy said. "In fact, it is so far removed from being published on this campus that Kansas is not even spelled correctly."
Kansas was spelled "Kaneses" on the mashead of the publication.
"The administration is not suppressing the Socialist Study club as an organization. The club can say what they want, and meet when and where they want," Dr. Murphy said.
Laurence Woodruff, dean of men, supported the administration's view by saying, "We have a rule not to allow outside publications to be sold on the campus, and we are merely putting that rule into effect."
The Socialist Study club became one of the sponsors of the magazine last May, after adopting the joint anti-war declaration of the West Coast socialist youth conference.
"The policy of the magazine is determined by six sponsor clubs and student organizations from New York, Yale, Chicago, Kansas and the West Coast," Gallin said.
"These organizations are dominated by pacifists and third camp' socialist, who equally oppose the social and economic systems of the U.S. and USSR". Gallin said.
