Labor Bill Co-Author To Speak Here Friday
The co-author of the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill will speak at 10 a.m. Friday in the court room of Green Hall.
Representative Robert Griffin (R-Mich) helped to draft a labor reform bill which was called "a disaster far worse than the Taft-Hartley Law" by the political arm of the AFL-CIO.
Rep. Griffin will be accompanied by Representatives Melvin Laird (R-Wis) and Albert Quie (R-Minn). They are members of a "Recruits for a Sound America" squad which has been invited to speak by the Kansas Collegiate Republicans.
The squad is traveling across the United States making appearances at universities to acquaint young voters with the major issues of the day.
The representatives will speak on the general topic of "A Sound America." After the public talks there will be a general floor discussion.
Rep. Griffin was elected to Congress in 1956 as a representative of the 9th Congressional District of Michigan. He is a member of the joint sub-committee on Labor Management Reform Legislation, the committee on Education, and the Government Operations Committee.
Melvin Laird is a representative of the 7th Congressional District of Wisconsin. He was voted the Outstanding Young Man in Wisconsin by the State Junior Chamber of Commerce in 1957.

Administration-Regents Building Ideas Differ
(Editor's note: The Kansas Board of Regents and the University administration apparently do not see eye to eye on KU's building needs. The following story backgrounds this situation. See related editorial on page 2.)
By Ray Miller
Administrative sources at KU have indicated their disapproval of plans being forwarded to the legislature for a building program by their conspicuous silence broken only by guarded comments.
Clement H. Hall, chairman of the state board of regents, today termed the regent's statewide building proposal as "a compromise position with a little of everybody's thinking in it."
Chairman Hall made the statement in response to complaints made by a KU administrative source that:
- The report adopted Oct. 10 does not meet the physical needs of the university.
- The report does not suggest to the legislature an adequate and progressive method of financing the needed building program.
Chairman Hall disagreed with the complaints, saying that the program was in fact a change from the past.
"I think the substance of the report is in the list of the buildings we need—their priority," he explained.
"We have never before said to the legislature. "Here are the buildings set for priority and here are the dates set for completion,'" Chairman Hall explained.
The completion dates have a special significance to Kansas institutions because of an enrollment surge expected in 1962. However, the lack of enrollment increases in state schools this year apparently affected the regent's program. The regents obviously think the program will meet the future needs of universities and colleges in Kansas.
Administrative sources indicate that while this is true (that the buildings named in the report are badly needed), students are still attending classes in condemned buildings, and, they say, it looks as though they will continue to do so.
News Briefs Kennedy Sold Out Errol Flynn Dies Labor, Says Morse In Vancouver
"Let there be no misunderstanding among you," he said." Had the senator from Massachusetts at any time not opposed bringing this language back to the senate in form of a conference report, it would not be law now."
"The Kennedy - Landrum-Griffin law" was labor's "worst setback since passage of the Taft-Hartley act." Morse told the Allied Industrial Workers International Convention.
NEW YORK —(UPI)— The lowest temperature recorded in the nation this morning was 19 degrees at Big Piney, Wyo., the U.S. Weather Bureau reported. High yesterday was 100 at Thermal, Calif.
Morse said Kennedy was "the principal architect" of the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill so he could obtain a "label...with the word labor. on it."
MILWAUKEE, Wis. — (UPI) — Sen. Wayne Morse (D-One) charged last night that Sen. John Kennedy (D-Mass) "sold out" labor to further his own presidential ambitions.
Wyo. Has Lowest Temp.
VANCOUVER, B.C. — (UP1) — ErroI Flynn, the swash-buckling celluloid lover on both and off the screen, died last night.
Flynn, 50, here on a combination business-pleasure trip with his 17-year-old girl friend. Beverly Aadland, was believed to have sucumbed to a heart attack in the penthouse apartment of Dr. Grant Gould.
Flynn, as famous for his real life adventures as for his motion pictures, had been in Vancouver for a week negotiating the sale of his beloved yacht Zaca, valued at $100,000. He was staying with the prospective buyer of the boat, George Caldough.
Leopold's Suit 'Inadvisable'
SPRINGFIELD — (UPI) — The Illinoisinois board board says paroled 'thrill slayer' Nathan Leopold's million-dollar damage suit was 'inadvisable' but not in violation of his parole—"at this point."
The board met here Wednesday to study the matter because it felt the resultant publicity could perhaps be a violation of Leopold's parole.
Burge Says Kansas Union Pays Its State Sales Tax
This is the question Lawrence businessmen have asked KU administrators.
Does the Kansas Union dodge payment of state sales tax?
A vehement "No!" is the answer of Frank Burge, manager of the Union.
The Union operating staff called a meeting last week to discuss the problem.
"The Union handles its state sales taxes no differently than anyone else" said Mr. Burge. "We paid $14,652.37 in sales taxes last year."
"A 2½ per cent sales tax is added to any sale made in any Union division, whether it be the book store, bowling alley or cafeteria —
in short, any department with a cash register.
"Although we can't collect sales tax from vending machines such as coffee, candy or cigarette machines, we still pay the sales tax."
The Union pays federal excise tax in the same way. The amount is added to the invoice when a product is bought from a manufacturer, according to the basic selling price of the article before other taxes are added.
Mr. Burge said that some misunderstanding has existed between Lawrence businessmen and KU in regard to the Kansas Union sales taxes.
"Only recently I was speaker at a luncheon meeting where I was
asked if the Union pays state sales taxes.
Mr. Burge said that he thought some of the misunderstanding might have stemmed from the fact that university equipment is tax-exempt.
"I can't understand why anyone would think the Union doesn't comply with state laws, but it is simple to see why ill feeling could have arisen if someone thought we were not paying sales taxes. It displeases a businessman to think that he is paying more taxes than another enterprise."
"Any equipment for the union is purchased just like it is by another division of the university — by filing an exemption certificate.
Many classes are still being held at KU in temporary classrooms constructed during WW II behind Strong Hall.
"This program will take care of needs (in the state) as we project them.
Chairman Hall said that every board (of regents) has the right to change building programs and adapt them according to indicated needs, either increases or decreases.
"I don't consider this report as a compromise with what we need. I think the report states clearly that 'the following construction should be completed as soon as possible having in mind the deadline of the fall term of 1964,'" Chairman Hall said.
'Reporter Editor Here Tomorrow
The Washington editor of "The Reporter" magazine, will speak at 2 p.m. tomorrow in Room 205, Flint Hall.
Mr. Douglass Cater speaking on "Government by Publicity," will discuss the role Washington correspondents play in government.
NORTHAMPTON Mass — (UPL)
Mr. Cater's speech is part of the program for the School of Journalism's Editor's Day, Editors of Kansas newspapers will tour the facilities of the journalism school in Flint Hall.
NORTHAMPTON, Mass.  — (UPI) Dr. Thomas C. Mendenhall became the sixth president of Smith College today and told his inauguration audience that far too many girls go to college to find a husband.
Mr. Cater will also address the Kansas Editors at 10:45 a.m. Saturday. His speech is, "The Washington Power Struggle."
Mr. Cater graduated from Harvard University in 1947, where he was editorial chairman of the Harvard Crimson. He has been Washington editor of "The Reporter" since 1950. In August he was appointed the first professor of journalism at Princeton University where he conducts weekly seminars. In 1956, he traveled in Europe, the Middle East, India, and Russia on an Eisenhower Fellowship.
Husband Hunters Called a Disgrace
"With women as with men, a wasteful confusion prevails over the purpose of a college education," he said.
At the same time, Dr. A. Whitney Griswold, President of Yale University, warned in his address that while women have won the right to higher education, "too many of them don't know what to do with it.
"While any of us would welcome a happy marriage as a by-product of college education, to make it a first purpose is wasteful of the precious resources of a college." Mendenhall said.
"The prevailing mania for early marriage produces a false sense of values, reflected both in the hesitancy of women to push on for higher degrees and even in their reluctance to make the decisions, which should be one of the first products of their education," he continued.
He said it was a "national disgrace" that the women dropping out of college before graduation last year probably approached 60 per cent.
