Murphy Says Docking Veto Has Hurt KU
The Kansas Legislature ended its 1960 budget session after failing by 10 votes to override a veto of Gov. George Docking on a bill to provide 3.9 million dollars for an accelerated building program at state colleges and universities.
This included appropriations of $1,450,000 for an engineering building at the University of Kansas.
Chancellor Frankln D. Murphy thanked the "1960 Kansas Legislature for its attempt, against great odds, to provide for the urgent needs of the University of Kansas."
Chancellor Murphy said the veto will set back plans for the new engineering building nine months, providing the 1961 session appropriates the necessary funds.
LATIN AMERICA REJECTS ENERGETICALLY COMMUNISM REMARKS!
"The University of Kansas will be lucky to have the new engineering building and library addition by 1965.
"However, national spokesmen's opinions are different in this matter."
"This also means there is no hope for funds to replace the temporary barracks behind Strong Hall, remodeling Blake Hall or remodeling Haworth Hall which will be vacated in two years when the Medical School completes its move to Kansas City." Dr. Murphy said.
When asked to comment on Gov. Docking's recent statement that there are too many engineers, Dr. Murphy said that everyone is entitled to his own opinion.
People Now Aware
"The 7 per cent increase enables us to tread water," he said.
Referring to the 7 per cent increase in faculty pay Dr. Murphy said the University has not gained or lost any ground.
The veto will not necessarily hurt the school's accreditation but it would certainly have been a step forward for the school, Prof. Haines said.
Haines said they will continue with some planning at a decelerated rate and wait until the legislature meets next year.
Chancellor Murphy said there will be no significant effect on the accreditation of the engineering school but it will mean an unnecessary delay in providing modern facilities for the school.
Writing Clinic Now at Strong
Haines Disappointed
Dr. Murphy had no comment to make on the surplus in the state treasury in regard to the great needs of education but admitted to a degree of frustration.
The writing clinic has been moved to 33 Strong Hall. Interested students should report there from 3 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
"The most heartening result of the recent session is that more people are now aware of and interested in the problems of their state universities than ever before." Chancellor Murphy said. He said he was very grateful that the majority of legislators have tried to come to grips with the problem.
"Gov. Docking might have been misinformed when he said this plan wouldn't speed up the building program. If the plan had gone through it was hoped that we would have obtained a bid sometime this fall. We had reached a stage where preliminary plans were in the final form and architects were ready to begin immediately on detail planning. Now we cannot get the plans out this year," he said
Latin Students Jeer Dubois
The clinic has started operations for this semester.
D. D. Haines, associate professor of civil engineering and faculty chairman of the building planning committee, said that he was disappointed that the bill did not go through.
PICKETED DUBOIS—Luis Mayor, Placetas, Cuba, junior, holds a sign typical of the signs used yesterday by him and other Latin American students to picket Jules Dubois, a Latin American correspondent for the Chicago Tribune, at the annual William Allen White lecture.
Dubois Charges Castro Controls Cuban Press
Jules Dubois last night described the control of the Cuban press and radio by the Castro regime.
Addressing a combined dinner meeting of Sigma Delta Chi, men's professional journalism fraternity and Theta Sigma Phi, women's honorary journalism fraternity, he said that Castro had taken over most of the press and radio of the country.
He cited the Castro controlled newspaper "Revolucion" as one of the most outspoken Castro organs.
He told how the radio stations broadcast at regular intervals throughout the day excerpts from Castro's speeches in Castro's own voice.
"I have checked many of the stories in this paper," he said, "and have found many of them to be unreliable. If this paper says something happened, it either may or may not have happened."
Students wishing to take the competitive mathematics examination must register in room 115 Strong—today. The test will be given Saturday.
$25 Prizes Offered For Math Papers
"The people are being constantly bombarded by pro-Castro and Hate America propaganda," he said.
He traced the development of
The University is offering a $25 prize for the best junior-senior paper and $25 for the best freshman-sophomore paper.
The two-hour examination is open to all undergraduate students enrolled at KU. The test will contain problems through calculus only.
Prensa Latina which he said is the Castro controlled press service which distributes the Castro line free to news outlets throughout Latin America.
"The people of Cuba must realize that they have been sold a dose of Castro oil," he said. "Unless this happens, I am afraid there may be another situation like the Spanish civil war."
WASHINGTON —(UPI)— House "payola" investigators hinted today they had more surprises to spring in connection with a fun-filled Miami Beach disc jockey convention for which record companies paid at least $117.655.
House Finds More Payola
Chairman Oren Harris (D-Ark) of the subcommittee looking into disc jockey payola indicated the convention might get another going over next week when his panel will question record distributors. Harris offered the possibility when asked his reaction to testimony given yesterday by an official of the Americana Hotel, where the record spinners met last May. The official said record firms and their affiliates picked up a $117.665 tab at the hotel.
Harris noted that according to yesterday's testimony a majority of the 2,000 to 2,500 disc jockeys at the three-day meeting stayed at other hotels than the Americana, leading to the inference that record companies also paid part of the bills elsewhere.
Latin American students at KU jeered the remarks of Jules Dubois a second time yesterday and interrupted his William Allen White lecture in Fraser Theater.
Students downstairs in Fraser Hall mingled in the crowd. They displayed posters denouncing Mr. Dubois, the Latin American correspondent for the Chicago Tribune.
"Jules Dubois, Man With 1,000 Faces;" one read.
"Latin America Energetically Protests Communism's Remarks," was the motto written on another.
Murphy Upholds Right To Oppose
Chancellor Murphy called the demonstration by Latin American students at the William Allen White lecture by Jules Dubois an illustration of the "volatility of Latin American students."
"You cannot deny the right in a free society on such an occasion for people to express their point of view," he said.
"I hope our young Latin American friends would be permitted to carry out such a demonstration in their own countries. For instance, would such a demonstration be possible in Cuba today?"
The Chancellor said that there is a time when a concept of freedom transgresses a concept of good taste.
"Freedom is no substitute for anarchy or the breaking down of just ordinary principles of good manners," he said.
"We have now heard Mr. Dubois, the Cancellor said. "Anytime a key person in the government of Cuba wishes to come to the University of Kansas and speak to the students, he may."
"I believe in freedom of expression in many ways preferably in accordance with the principles of good taste in orderly process," he said. "I wish this were the case in all parts of the world today.
The library of the late G. Criss Simpson, former associate professor of organ and theory, has been given to the University of Kansas by his sister, Mrs. Kathleen Simpson Armstrong of Kansas City.
Music Library Given to KU
The library contains more than 500 musical scores, about 250 books and 200 record albums. Among the scores is a manuscript of composition written by Charles S. Skilton, a former KU professor of organ and a composer of national reputation.
Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts, acknowledged the gift by saying:
"This was Prof. Simpson's working library, an extremely useful collection of records, scores and books. It will continue to be a working library as it is integrated into our growing collection which supports the study, teaching and research of our students and staff."
"At the same time it is a most appropriate memorial to Prof. Simpson's many years of valuable service as a member of the music faculty of the University of Kansas."
Generally partly cloudy and continued rather cold this afternoon through tomorrow. Light snow extreme west this afternoon. Low tonight 5 to 10 above north central and 10 to 20 elsewhere. High Friday 30s.
Weather
A third cardboard sign para-
phrased Mr. Dubois' own motto:
"I will defend my opinion—Come
Hell or High Water, or Fidel Cast
rol!" The poster read "Cuban
Aggrarian Reform Goes... Come
Hell, High Water or Jules Dubois."
The students raised the posters from their balcony seats as Mr. Dubois was introduced.
When his address was nearly completed, Luis Mayor, Placetas, Cuba, junior, arose from his seat, "That's a Lie."
"Remember, you're a guest here," he said.
"That's a lie! You lie!" he shouted. He waved his fist at Mr. Dubois. Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, sitting near the aisle, sat forward. He iabbed a finger at Mavor:
Other members of the Latin American delegation waited until Mr. Dubois had finished his address.
Mayor threw an armload of magazines to the floor and stalked out.
"Tell the whole truth, Dubois. Say that the Cuban people are hungry, not Communistic. We are not with Russia. We are with Cuba. Ramon Mayer, brother to Luis, shouted over the balcony.
Hostility Began Tuesday
Hostility to Mr. Dubois started when he addressed a meeting of the Spanish Club. Students denounced his role in the coverage of the Cuban revolt and aroused his anger by accusing him of an association with Porfirio Herrera, Dictator Rafael Truillillo's right-hand man.
Dubois pointed out he is on Tru-
jillo's black list.
They expressed their remarks more fully in an interview yesterday evening.
Miss Felina Ferragut, Havana Cuba, assistant instructor of Spanish and graduate student, gave her sentiment for Castro:
"Castro wants Cuba to rest in the right of the human being." she commented.
"He is only the head of an ideal of the Cuban people. He is the representative that all Cubans have cherished.
"Yes, the Cubans have been indoctrinated with principles, but they are the principles of Jose Martin, Father of Cuba.
"It is not necessary to brainwash people to make them accept the doctrine. They have been anxious to practice it," she added.
"North Americans ought to respect the Cuban youth who voluntarily train to defend our nation from Batista's people who are conspiring in the United States with counterrevolutionaries.
Flying Small Planes
"These people are flying small planes over Cuba and burning our sugar cane—because these planes are small and have a limited capacity for gasoline, and fly from the North the Cuban people think they are coming from Miami," she said.
"This is what should be denounced by American newspapermen.
"The North American people ignore what kind of persons are conspiring against Cuba because they are presented by the North American press as gentlemen instead of being told of their black history," she said.
