students. Another $200 field sophomore who organized
the project, said Thursday.
Another $50 was donated by non-

A special committee will be set up by the Association of University Residence Halls to purchase groceries for the black students at the university. It will also provide for transportation of the supplies in three
or four weeks to the community of about 6,300 persons.
During the fast, VIAW members who had taken supplies to Cairo last weekend discussed their trip with students at Gertrude Sellars Pearson Hall, McColum Hall or Oliver Hall.
"The whole place down there is really tense." Lewis said.
Only 13 McColm fasteners intended to Paul Lewis, Tampa, Florida; two related his impressions of the town. About 70 cent of its total worth.
The VVAW caravan, he said, and been met by a carload of children, who had harassment the outiders. The day before they arrived, white people raided the caravan.
"White Supremacy Day," Lewis explained.
On a tour of church grounds, after they had been served dinner in a rundown church, Lewis said he did not have a house. He said they were made by a 30 caliber machine-gun, as is on the top of a police building.
On a later tour of the police building, Lewis said he saw sandbags in front and inside the structure. Several police memorabilia took pictures of the group as they examined an abandoned car in front of the station. Lewis said.
He also said that white town-

blacks had been killed and four
blacks had been injured in the
incidents. The last incident was
May 1971, he said.
When asked if there had been investigations of the shootings, Lewis said there had been some women who were being businessmen who were being boycotted. He said that elderly white women drove through the black community in Cario and were placed to police on activities there.
Although nearly one-half of the town population is black, there are no black town officials. Lewis was a mayor who had been attempts to elect blacks.
"Strange things happen," he said, and people who have been dead for 30 years come back and vote.
One student inquired about the response of the black community to the veterans.
Lewis replied, "You'd think with all the white hair in that town that they'd alienate you right away. But if you're there, why aren't they as good as black. The blacks in Cairn are fantastic people."
Poll Indicates 69% Have Used Grass
A sample of 219 students taken Wednesday indicated that 69 percent of KU students had smoked in the past month and were distributed to various students at Strong Hall, Watson Library, the Kansas Union, the Wagonheel Way.
Of those who said they had smoked, 33 per cent said they only smoked sometimes, and 27 per cent did not. Eleven per cent admitted they smoked every day, 27 per cent on weekdays, and 22 per cent once a month.
At an orientation meeting, Lewis said, black citizens described five or six years of disarmy in the community. This has led to a 30 month boycott of stores that refuse to hire blacks.
The students surveyed were overwhelmingly in favor of legalizing the possession and sale of marijuana. Seventy per cent favored legalization, 27 per cent opposed it, and three per cent were undecided.
dividuals said that the legalization should depend on future information concerning the effects of marjuana.
The blacks cited cases of repeated police harassment, he said, and of shoot out between officers and blacks. He said two
Many of those against the legalization said they felt the punishment should be lessened. A few supporters felt that the legal sale might reduce the problem by reducing the number of people in alcohol. Some undecided in-
Although 73 per cent of the students sampled said they knew of persons who sold marijuana, only 15 per cent having ever sold it. Of the students sampled, 92 per cent they had friends who smoked
Of the 133 persons arrested on drug charges in Lawrence this year, 94 were accused of possession and or sale of marijuana or hashish. The possession of marijuana, a class one crime, result in a one year sentence, and a maximum fine of $2,000
The possession of a large quantity of marijuana may be considered an attempt to sell.
A Senate Code amendment to institute a Parking and Traffic Court and a position of University Judiciary magistrate was unanimously passed Thursday at voting of the University Senate.
University Senate O.K.'s Traffic Court and Judge
The court will hear complaints from anyone who thinks he has unjustly received a summons or a notice of the Traffic and Security Office.
Within two weeks after a summons has been issued, the person charged at the Traffic and Security Office explains his reasons for contending it. He must also specify what he will do to support his case. The office will forward the statement to the judge who will then decide on a hearing date.

The magistrate will have the power to conduct a hearing in any case in which a faculty member has unsuccessfully or dismissed or dismissed written conduct regulation. He will decide whether there is cause for the violation occurred and when he charged person committed the act.
It is also a "city at war."
This last description comes from John Burdash, president of the local chapter of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War.
Burdall and other 15 chapter members drove to Cairo Oct. 2 in a self-styled emergency relief for the city's black population

The mission originally was initiated and sponsored by the national VVAW organization. The team brought to the drive furnish food, medical supplies, clothing and athletic equipment to the city's black market.
Why Cairo? Why supply staples to a modern American urban area with a large industrial investment?
The answer, according to the VVAW national office, goes back the long-simmer, often boiling water from white and white populations of the city.
Often erupting into open warfare, the antagonism has split the city into camps. Burdall said it was not inappropriate for the Vietnam Veterans group to attack "Cairo as a chapter project."
After soliciting house-to-house in Lawrence and accepting donations, the veterans loaded three automobiles and two vans with canned goods, clothing, and baskets early Saturday morning.

The 500-mile trip took 12 hours from Kansas City, where the team was based, to the city of 'the Kansas City VIAW chapter. They arrived in Cairo at midnight.
"We were a little scared coming into town and we left pretty mad," Burdys recalled. "We people received us like brothers."
After handing over their donations to the United Front, a black community organization, the BLM, VVAW members spent the night in St. Columba's Catholic Church, no longer used for religious services Burdall said there would be bullet holes in the sanctuary.
"We had a chance to rap with quite a few black people," Burdslah said. "They know where you live, and that they have to do to out of it."
How successful was the effort?
"What we took there was a drop in the bucket," said Burdial. "Our purpose in going, where I was going, was to get publicity so the nation was to Carlo is happening."
"On our next trip we'll need gas masks, size small, for the children." Burdysaid said.
