Thirteen Jayhawks Transform KS on K-Hill near Manhattan
Project required 25 hours of planning for three hours of work .
Jayhawks Build 'Nest' at KSU
MHANATTAN-K-Staters are slowly awakening to the fact that they now have their own "snob letters" from the luminous white letters "KS" which have long overlooked the town of Manhattan now read
The letter change was a project tackled by 13 "mountain climbing" layhawks. It took place in plan and two nights to execute.
Oddly enough, Thursday, when the project was half completed, few manhattanites noticed the slightly changed "S."
The Kansas City Star, however,
Thursday night erroneously
reported a blue hybush hawk that
still wasn't in the letter "S." The "nest" was
the debris left from the first stage of
the transformation—paint cans
The 13 conspirators developed the plan three weeks ago in an
attempt to bring tradition back to homecoming. They decided to strike long before homecoming week so that the "wildcats" would not be on the prowl for fowl that would undermine their "purple pride."
Preparations included Stripping the three automobiles involved of all KU identification, charting the moon's setting and preparing to prepare themselves for the ascent of the 70 degree hill, practicing rope climbing and going on a securing expedition. The ladder was at Manhattan at midnight Wednesday. While four men dropped ropes from the top of the building, the ladder waited in a parking lot downtown for a signal by two-way radio. At 1:30 a.m. Thursday the code gohead was given for the other car to go to their assigned stations
It took them 45 minutes, hacking a path with axes, to move the 14 gallons of paint and the brooms for applying it to their destination. During that time the paint were dropped and exploded.
While one group attempted to blot out the upper and middle parts of the "S" with dark paint, another group cut down the shrubbery in the area they would have worked on. They called the "U". They were about 10 gallons short of canopy paint and 5 gallons short of white paint.
The next morning, although it was apparent something had been done, the "S" only looked in "B" with a "nest" in the middle.
"Fairly certain no one would
expect a return visit the next night, seven of the 13 worked quickly to finish the job.
One man dropped three ropes. The rest of the group descended from the rooftop, bearing 28 gallons of paint in soda-clear fire-extinguishers for their buildings.
This time all went smoothly.
While two people filled the extinguisher, two worked on blotting out the "s" and two
sprayed the bushes to fill in the "U"! It took them only 17 minutes to do what they couldn't get done in two hours the night before.
The project took 25 hours of planning, three hours of actual work and 75 for expenses. And if he hadn't returned the "U" should have vanished by homecoming, with his nicely dirtied "KS" on old K-Hill.

"We keep a pretty flight check" the official said.
"However, we do not count students," the official said. Students are asked if they are residents and a comparison is made with voter registration lists or the KU Student Directory.
However, when Doglas County turned in its census figure last week, several students had been forced to take an active role. In fact, the only students exempted were those living on campus in it; 40 percent of them use census figures in determining the amount of funds from certain taxes that counties receive.
Kay does believe some changes be made in state election laws, and the elections committee is studying the 18-year-old vote and other issues.
"Most people should vote in elections because he said, 'We're not good at anything and any barriers against voting. I don't believe you can legislate laws.'"
KAY SAI'd the changes would contain, among other matters, such as the recently approved statewide registration, and not as a result of the 18-year transition.
One of the changes could deal with voters who want to vote cast his ballot in two separate places. Both Vogel and Boott expressed concern over the possibility.
Vogel said he believed election fraud occurred. Voters were forced to cast ballots elsewhere, and Booth said the legislature must spell out the fraud.
"This applies to transient workers. too." Booth said.
"They should be responsible citizens at 18," Vogel said, "and should be made full-fledged citizens."
However, Vogel feels that the legislature could become so bogged down in all the nuances of the situation that he predicted that the whole matter of defining where students are to vote would land in Kansas.
BUT LEGISLATIVE ACTION,
whatever it may be, will
certainly not come until January,
when the 1972 session begins.
Until that time, speculation about
the student's impact on
face will continue, as will
drives to more students to
register.
Molhott and his *Voter Registration Committee* plan to continue their registration push. He will work with the booths on the KU campus and by sponsoring a Voter Registration Week involving such figures as Allard K. Lownstein, chairman of Americans for Democratic Action.
Dave Miller, student body
president, has begun planning,
along with student body
presidents at the other five state
colleges. a massive voter
registration drive aimed at young
downesting into high schools.
Molth呼吁 to set up a booth to register students during enrollment week in January and to keep building the numbers of students that hopefully reach a peak just prior to next year's national contests.
The voter registration drive started this summer as a partisan effort, according to the latest poll. But it soon became non-partisan.
Moholt said that in the registration committee brief backlash among Lawrence residents for what it was trying to do.
BE SAID that if 5,000 students had registered instead of the just over 700 that did, the town might have responded differently
Perhaps there has been no backlash in Lawrence because residents have accepted the issue with little resentment.
Lawrence businessman Richard H. Raney, a former mayor of Chicago, adds "the addition of a large number of voters doesn't bother me at all, particularly since this is the first university under a university umbrella."
"I don't think they're going to be a monolithic thing that will descend on Lawrence. In fact, because these kids are this interested."
Mayor Pullam sees the
season's end. He said to
Ranay "As an age as the 18-
yrd-old vote goes," he said, "I don't
think it will have any tremendous
threat."
He said he was discouraged
but so few young people have
received the kind of vote
election, but he, said "I'm just
happy that as many register as
would or rather would not) happen in Lawrence. But he does not believe that any one will learn to deliver the student's vote online.
Mulholt agreed that young voters might neglect all but the most important things they might think there's more political punch in national and city politics.
He said that a catalyst, such as an outstanding presidential candidate, could possibly bring larger states to the polls. However, he believes that the only person who could be that catalyst at present is New York.
RANEY SEES failure to vote to register as a possible candidate, he was afraid they would neglect them involving "exciting people."
He pointed to student body elections in which less than 25 per cent of the students had voted as Democrats, and more than 75 hoped the parallel was not valid.
Booth said that at one time KU and Lawrence might be heading toward becoming a law firm in the recent actions by county welfare officials, in which students were removed from aid lists, and raid drugs by Atty. Gen Vern Miller and KU under control."
"Students are more splintered than any other bloo." he said.
Raney said students wouldn't vote in a bloc or create another Berkley because "community needs to be represented," Lawrence has been responsive."
KAY SAID he thought the public had generally accepted young voters as being mature.
"Students are objective and will recognize the candidate is that they will be officials are properly responsive to voters, they'll receive their
Raney hopes so. “There’s room for room on the exam,” he said. “I can electate a electorate. I feel that young people will make their people.”
Booth also pointed to student elections as an example of what
Molly Lafontin, student body vice-president, thinks students may invest idealism into issues "to a certain extent."
But another element is still present in *Lawrence*—the idealistic one. The young, students in particular, are often referred to as an "idealistic" student. It is unlikely they be carried into the boil bath?
Now, he said, there is no revolutionary element in Lawrence like that in Berkeley.
that students are going to cause a big upheaval. They don't have a lot more claim to 'truth' than other people."
MISS LAFLIN has been "surprised" at the reaction of Lawrence townpeople to young voters who were most people in the city were glad to have young voters because of the state's additional money from the state.
She also said, "I don't know
"I think that students are going to feel a lot better about getting into school in past they've felt that in past they've been listened to. It's a good idea that students have the right now to be involved. They were encouraged to be involved before they always just to a certain point."
She also does not think students will vote in a bloc. "Students are individuals as much as anybody else," she said. Nevertheless, she does think an issue that "perhaps directly" might get wide support.
"We just don't feel the town is the largest," she said. "We just haveBesides, all we could do is application we couldn't be registered."
Miss Lafin is very much in favor of registration booths on campus.
"The whole idea of the hassle involved in registering is oppressive," she said.
"This is a little far out in terms of what should be done for all our people," he said. "If they can be prepared, then it would be appropriate."
sexual response
Down at the city clerk's office Mrs. Mercer sees the idea differently.
Raney, too, is not in favor of registration booths on campus.
The program was the first of the human sexuality seminars being presented this year by the mission on the Status of Women.
Robin Roy, cochairwoman of the human sexuality seminars, introduced guest speakers, a director of Maternal Child and Health for Kansas, and Dr. Henry Koster, obstetrician and gynecology at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Dr. Koster is a lecturer in the School of Pharmacy.
"Anatomically, male and bodies are much different. Women have physiologically they are much alike and their responses are similar."
Both doctors dismissed as a myth the belief that women are not as sexually potent as males. "Things need to be unlearned."
Dr. Buck said that before research in this area began, only the male was considered when the female was contacted with responses. "The female was pretty much held off," Dr. Buck said. He also said studies had since proven that females have been more likely than males for sexual response.
Dr. Buck referred to the term "frigid female" as an "overused expression in its meaning. Dr. Gengel agreed, saying the term was "talking about a woman who has been given a chance to choose."
She said the investigation of male and female sexual responses was a new area which considered unprofessional.
Dr. Buck cited five reasons that a woman might be considered biologically ill. He had pregnancy in a bad childhood memory such as rape, an anatomical defect, a psychological-social consequence and lack of support within partner.
Dr. Buck said lack of an understanding partner was the most common reason.

Dropout Program to Begin
A special educational program for high school dropouts is scheduled to start Oct. 1 in Lawrence.
The curriculum of the school includes reading, spelling and preparatory work for the general equivalency diploma test. The G.E.D. test may be taken when a student is ready for it.
"Some students may need three weeks, others a whole year before they are able to pass the test," said Vern Storns, director of Community Social Development. "The speed of studying depends on the student's education efficiency. Classes will be small—approximately 10-12 students, to give individual instruction," he said.
