Senate May Approve Puppet Show Funds
R. L. Bailey
A "Bread and Puppet Theater" will be coming to the University of Kansas this fall if a $3,000 recommendation of the Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee is approved by the senate.

The theater will visit KU for six days. Workshops, demonstrations of hand crafts (bread and puppet making), and radical theater productions under a big tent are scheduled. The theater is a group of pacifists dedicated to a new life style and the theory that "theater should be something more than entertainment for the skin."
Two Features Added For Journalism Day
Special adviser and television sections will be the new features of the 52nd annual high school journalism conference on Sat. Sept. 26, Dana Leibengood, assistant to the dean of the School of Journalism, said Monday.
There have been separate sections for newspaper and yearbook staffs in the past, Leibengood said. This year an adviser's section, which is also open to advanced students who have attended a previous conference, and a television section, open to two students from each high school, have been added, he said.
Leibengood said that he expected 450 to 500 students from 50 schools to attend the conference. The basic purpose of the conference is to help high school journalism students with their publications and build up interest in journalism. In addition, it's nice for them to be exposed to KU, he said.
The conference will open at 9 a.m. in Woodruff Auditorium with a speech by Edward P. Bassett, dean of the School of Journalism. At 9:45 the sections will divide to go to separate classes in the Union.
The television workshop, held by Leon Smith, instructor of radio-tv-film, will be held at 9:45 and 10:30 in 118 Flint. Students working in groups of six will produce several short news programs. Enrollment is limited to two students from each school and 48 in the two sections.
The School of Journalism faculty, high school publications advisers and professional journalists will conduct the sessions.
The final session of the conference, scheduled for all participants, will be a panel discussion.
Therapy Club Meets Tonight
The meeting will be an informal mixer to enroll new members and acquaint them with the organization's activities and with other members, according to Miss R. J. King, faculty adviser and head of the Physical Therapy Department at Watkins Memorial Hospital.
The Physical Therapy Club's first meeting of the semester will be at 7:30 p.m. today in the Council Room at the Kansas Union.
Miss King stressed that membership is open to all and it is the only medical-oriented club on campus.
Linda Michels, secretary of the club, said freshmen and sophomores are encouraged to join before they begin their major in physical therapy. This allows them to see what exists in the field and to meet those already active in it.
"How Do You Handle Controversy?" at 2 p.m. in Woodruff Auditorium.
Nixon's Crime Bill Approved; House Action Expected Soon
WASHINGTON (UPI)—President Nixon scored a major legislative victory Monday, winning House judiciary subcommittee approval of a tough bill to fight organized crime and extend the death penalty to some terrorist bombing offenses.
Differences between the Senate bill and the eventual House version are expected to be resolved in time for the measure to become law before the expected mid-October adjournment of Congress.
The bill also would provide that a judge could sentence convicted persons found to have ties with organized crimes to 30-year terms.
Liberal members of the subcommittee waged a losing battle to modify some provisions of the bill they regarded as too harsh or unconstitutional. But most predicted it would win approval of the full Judiciary Committee today and be passed by the House.
The Senate passed Nixon's organized crime bill last December and he has complained repeatedly about House inaction.
Another controversial provision, that could apply to all types of criminal cases, would extend broad new powers to special grand juries, including the power to cite appointed public officials for "noncriminal misconduct, malfeasance or misfeasance"
even if the jury cannot find grounds to indict them.
The provision dealing with terrorist bombings would authorize the death penalty in cases where bombings result in fatalities, and would provide federal controls over the sales of explosives in interstate commerce.
