LLF Plans Protest During Nixon's Visit
The Lawrence Liberation Front met Monday night in the Kansas Union to make plans for the protest they plan to carry to Manhattan when President Nixon addresses the students, faculty and townspeople Wednesday in Ahearn Field House. The Front plans to use buses, trains and private transportation to travel to Manhattan for the noon address.
Ernie Murphy, editor of the Kansas State Collegegian, said Monday night that handbills were being distributed on the Wildcat campus urging people to attend a "party" Wednesday afternoon.
There has been an influx of secret service men, FBI, and KBI personnel on the campus in preparation for Nixon's visit, said Murphy. Murphy said that the
security men made it clear that all persons "with suspicious looking objects" would be searched in response to the "party" that is being planned.
Nixon's helicopter will land at the football practice field and all demonstrators will be confined to the parking lot north of the field and in front of the student union. Kansas State identification will be needed to gain admittance to the fieldhouse.
Chancellor Chalmers will attend a luncheon for Kansas College presidents scheduled prior to the speech. James McCain, president of K-State, is sponsoring the luncheon.
Coordinators of the Front announced that anyone wanting to provide transportation or needing a ride should call the Lawrence Liberation Front at 842-8689. Private cars will depart from the Gaslight Tavern parking lot at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
International House Proposed To Benefit Foreign Students
"Most foreign students are not affluent enough to afford nice apartment housing, so they end up in slums," George said.
Charging that the University "simply has not been living up to its commitment to the foreign student," Peter George, Tuckahoe, N.Y., law student and member of the Senate Executive Committee, is looking for a solution to the problems of foreign students at KU.
To remedy this situation, George proposed a $5,000 allocation in the Student Senate budget to build a fund that would eventually go for the purpose of purchasing an "International House."
According to George, the living conditions that the University can provide are not adequate. He said that foreign students complain of discrimination in the dorms and reluctance on the part of the University to provide more suitable housing.
KU Campus On Security Tour List
The chairman of the Governor's Committee on Crime Control will be on the KU campus Wednesday to evaluate the condition of KU Traffic and Security
Tom Regan, chairman, said "the purpose of the trip is to get a general view of what's needed with regard to campus security."
Regan plans to meet with students and administrators at all state schools and make his recommendations from their comments. His recommendations will probably center on either increased manpower or training.
"This study was prompted by requests of student leaders when they met with the governor at the beginning of the year," Regan said.
Regan plans to make the tour with Vance Collins of the committee starting today with Emporia and Wichita. Wednesday they will be at Pittsburg and KU. The tour will conclude Thursday with stops at Manhattan and Hays.
Religious Advisers Plan Lively Debate
What's an "English-style" debate? Wild, that what!
The Kansas University Religious Advisers are sponsoring such a verbal battle at 7:30 tonight in the Big 8 Room of the Kansas Union.
Broad audience participation and unique rebating tactics will be the rule of the evening in pondering the topic, "Resolved: That Religion is the Opiate of the People."
Tom Moore, past executive director of the KU-Y, and currently a candidate for state representative will moderate the program
The audience will be encouraged to enter into the debate and anyone may make up to a two-minute statement. The audience votes on which side of the issue they favor by constantly changing to either the pro or con side of the room.
Scheduled debaters for the event include Al Worub, a graduate student in philosophy, instructor in Western Civilization and associate adviser of Hillel, Father Donald Redmond, OSB, director of the St. Lawrence Catholic Student Center, and Rev. Rafael Sanchez Jr., campus minister with the University of Kansas United Ministries in Higher Education.
The "debate" is open to all persons at no charge and especially to those willing to enter into the spirit of the "English Style."

social facilities for about 500, as well as headquarters for housing information and counseling"
George said that in addition to the problems of discrimination, foreign students experience a "cultural shock," that the facilities of the International House could help eliminate.
"If we could have gotten the $5,000, I could have provided an additional $15,000 from outside sources," he said. "Then we could have gone ahead with our plan to buy a house to provide living facilities for 25 or 30 and
