Senior Keys in, Women Go Out
Tuesday, Nov. 1, 1960
AHA!—Joan Munson, Arkansas City senior, gets caught sneaking in with her newly acquired senior key, Margaret Thrasher, Wichita senior and president of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority, meets her at the door.
The long awaited for senior keys have arrived and were picked up by the representatives of the organized women's houses late yesterday afternoon.
For the first time in the history of the Associated Women Students senior women living in organized houses may check out a key to the house and remain out past the closing hours established by the AWS Board of Standards. All it takes is a $1 deposit to pay for the key and parental permission for the senior women to take advantage of the plan.
EACH HOUSE has a locked key box from which the keys are taken in the evening. The senior women must check them out with the person on duty and must sign a special signout sheet.
She is then free to stay out as long as she wishes provided the key is returned by 8 am. the next morning.
There are certain provisions concerning the use of '.. keys. Women are not free to check out the key for the weekend but must return the same evening.
If a key is not returned the woman who has not checked it in may have the privilege taken from her. If a house neglects to report a violation concerning non-return of the keys, the entire house may have the privilege taken away.
Senior women living in unorganized houses in Lawrence must attend an orientation meeting. A workable plan for these senior women must be worked out by the landlady, the senior women and the dean of women. Those seniors having keys must bring them to the dean of women's office to have them identified with a KU tag.
EXTENDED CLOSING hours have been granted for two evenings for underclass women and senior women not participating in the key program. They are election night and Homecoming night.
"WE ARE ASSUMING that every woman who stays out until 1 a.m. will be attending an election party." Emily Taylor, dean of women, said. "It was originally planned only for those who wanted to attend the election party in the Union but we have discovered that other groups are also holding parties."
Closing hours on election night will be 1 a.m. for all women who do not have keys to their houses.
"The orchestra at the Homecoming Dance will play until I a.m. and closing for those who cannot get in their houses later with keys will be 1:30 a.m." Dean Taylor said.
On Homecoming night closing hours will be extended until 1:30 a.m.
Nixon Promises Federal Aid As Kennedy Intensifies Tour
PHILADELPHIA — (UPI) — Vice President Richard M. Nixon campaigned today in Pennsylvania, a state pocked by unemployment, with a charge that his Democratic opposition talks a great game of social welfare but does not play it.
In his last bid for Pennsylvania's 32 electoral votes the GOP presidential candidate started out behind schedule in the rain in Philadelphia then flew to Lancaster and Erie before going into upstate New York tonight.
In Erie he said in a prepared statement that Senator John F. Kennedy had exhibited a "sorry lack of concern for the American people" in his record on federal help for areas suffering from chronic unemployment.
He said the bills were "so full of politics they were obviously nothing but veto-bait."
"My opponent and his party have preferred to make a political football out of a pressing human problem," Nixon said, charging that two depressed areas bills passed by Congress and later veted by President Eisenhower were loaded with pork barrel items.
Nixon promised in Erie that if elected he would back "sound and truly helpful distressed areas legislation" which would provide $200 million for these areas with federal participation on a 50-50 matching basis to help attract new industry to the chronic unemployment sectors.
Nixon also accused Kennedy of indulging in "never never" economics that would lead to new taxes or staggering federal deficits.
LOS ANGELES —(UPI)— Sen. John F. Kennedy scoffed at Vice President Richard M. Nixon's proposal for expansion of the social security system today as "the greatest escape act since Houdini."
The Democratic presidential candidate kept up a taunting attack against his Republican rival as he flew here to begin a final two-day bid for California's 32 key electoral votes.
KENNEDY HEADED into California following an arduous four days of plugging for the same number of electoral votes in Pennsylvania, one of the major industrial states where Kennedy and Nixon both concentrated their efforts in the final weeks of the campaign for the presidency.
Kennedy's staff announced that today's California swing starts a 17-state tour which "will cover more states in the final week of the campaign than any other presidential candidate in history."
They issued a statement saying Kennedy had "ordered intensification of his campaign in the final week" even though he had been "encouraged by the developments of the campaign in the past weeks."
KENNEDY'S AIDS said "stops have been added to the schedule in California, Texas, Virginia and Massachusetts." They also said he would visit Michigan and New Jersey, two states not previously scheduled for the final week.
In a speech prepared for delivery at a clothing workers rally here, Kennedy said that Nixon's "position paper" two days ago calling for Social Security improvements "reversed the consistent policies of 25 years of Republican leadership."
"Mr. Nixon has taken every program which he and his party voted and fought against—and placed them in his position paper—and adopted them for his own," Kennedy said.
Cuban Army Prepares For Alleged Invasion
The official radio urged Cubans
Even though they were skeptical about the invasion the government has been calling "imminent" for the past nine days, Cubans were laying in stocks of candles and canned goods just in case.
HAVANA — (UPI) — Premier Fidel Castro's government rushed 2,000 "militiamen" today to central and eastern Cuba, areas which the regime insists are threatened by "invasion."
One thousand armed unionists from Havana went to Las Villas province in central Cuba. Another 1,000 went to Oriente Province at Cuba's eastern tip, where Castro staged his "hit-run" revolution.
Many Cubans said privately they believe the troop movement was "just a show" intended to bolster the "invasion" charge Cuba has submitted to the United Nations."
(There has been insistent speculation in the past week or so that Castro was preparing a phoney invasion, perhaps as a pretext for attack on the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo.)
While the Cuban public was girding itself today for an invasion — either real or "phoney" — former President Harry S. Truman was preparing himself in New York to answer any countercharge of the Eisenhower Administration on the Cuban issue. Truman attacked the Administration this morning for "its refusal to enforce the Monroe Doctrine in Cuba."
to donate blood for the "casualties of a possible imperialist invasion." Blood supplies at Havana Hospital were concentrated in a central blood bank from which even the hospital needed special authorization to make withdrawals.
"We should have just told them they (the Communists) couldn't come in," Truman said of the Communist-tinged regime of Cuban Premier Fidel Castro. President (Grover) Cleveland did the same thing in Venezuela.
"There should have been a man in the White House who knew where he was going to go and what he was going to do. That is what happened in regard to Korea."
