Hope Nominations Due Friday
Nominations for the 1970 Senior Class Hope Award are due by 5 p.m., Friday. Nomination forms can be picked up in the Dean of Men's office in Strong Hall or the Alumni Association office in the Kansas Union. They should be returned to those offices and all seniors are eligible to submit nominations.
Jim Nichols, senior class president, said both faculty members and university administrators are eligible for the Hope Award this year. In the past the award has been limited to only faculty members but, Nichols explains, "We feel that the Hope Award should be given to the person who has contributed most to the educational process at the University. This is by no means limited to faculty only."
Nichols said a committee made up of senior students will compile the nominations and do further research into the nominee's
effectiveness as an educator. The committee will study student evaluations and talk to persons in close association with the nominee.
According to Nichols, the committee will select five finalists on the basis of its findings and will interview the five nominees separately.
A secret ballot taken at the Senior Coffee Oct. 15 will determine who will receive the Hope Award.
Final results of the senior vote will be announced during halftime ceremonies at the Senior Day football game with Nebraska University October 17.
Absenteeism among employees "hasn't created too much of a problem as far as getting work done," according to Leo E. Ousdahl, assistant superintendent of the University of Kansas Buildings and Grounds Department.
B & G Absences Result In Few Work Problems
Ousdahl estimated seven or
eight employees are absent on an average work day, most of these resulting from personal illness. About 350 people are employed by Buildings and Grounds. Most absences, according to Ousdahl, are recorded in the department's custodial branch.
'Choice Grass' Found Inside ROTC Building
A sack containing what is believed to be marijuana has been found in the military science building, an Air Force ROTC spokesman said Tuesday.
An index card stapled to the sack read, "If you should find this choice GRASS to your liking and desire some more, FREE of course, put a notice in the persons of the UDK with your address (name optional) and I'll handle the rest. Obediently yours, GRASSMAN."
"One of our staff found a bag of marijuana in the military science building on his way to work," Maj. John McKenzie, Air Force ROTC information
officer, said. "We called the campus police and they sent a member of their force to pick up the bag."
"I have the report that our officer made and I now have the bag in my possession," Thomas said. "I'll be sending it to the KBI laboratory requesting verification on whether it actually is marijuana."
According to Michael Thomas,
KU Director of Security, the bag was picked up by the campus police at 7:50 a.m. Tuesday.
Thomas said that this was the first marijuana or suspected marijuana found on campus this semester.
No great problem is created by absences, Ousdahl believes, because the department does not have sufficient personnel to do its work as it should be done even with all employees working. As a result, the quality and amount of work which the department is able to do is not notably reduced by a small decrease in people handling the jobs.
Ousdahl attributed very few absences to on-the-job injuries. One employee has been off for a month due to an injury received when he dropped a piece of metal on his foot while working in the Buildings and Grounds shop.
This is the only such injury which has occurred in the past 18 months, Ousdahl said. Minor injuries, he added, may cause an employee to miss one or two hours of work.
Ousdahl said he was unable to estimate the cost of employee absences because of the wide salary range.
Official Approval Denied To Gay Liberation Front
HELSINKI (UPI)—There were 1,698,052 licensed radio set users and 955,955 licensed television owners in Finland in 1968, the Finnish National Radio Corporation reports.

The group's first bid for recognition was denied a year ago. It submitted a new application at the start of the fall semester.

Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. said the only advantage to official recognition was eligibility for Student Senate funds.
Chalmers said, "Since we are not persuaded that student activity funds should be allocated either to support or to oppose the sexual proclivities of students, particularly when they might lead to violation of state law, the University of Kansas declines to formally recognize the Lawrence Gay Liberation Front."
