Campus dons holiday color
Evidence of the Christmas season is appearing on the KU campus, as buildings and grounds crews begin their annual job of stringing the Christmas lights.
Harry M. Buchholz, superin-
tendent of the physical plant,
said the two to three thousand
bulbs used to light the campus during the Christmas season, should be turned on by the end of this week. They will decorate Strong Hall, Hoch Auditorium, the Kansas Union, the Chancellor's residence, Watkins Hospital and its annex, Danforth Chapel and a tree in front of the power plant.
Sirhan picks lawyer for chief defender
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Sirhan B. Sirhan has chosen Grant Cooper, one of the top criminal lawyers on the West Coast, as his chief defender at his trial for the murder of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, it was disclosed yesterday.
Cooper is former president of the Los Angeles Bar Association and the attorney who twice got a hung jury for Dr. Bernard Finch in the sensational Finch-Tregoff murder trials. He has been studying the case behind the scenes for months.
He was selected by Sirhan shortly after Kennedy was fatally shot June 5 in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.
The soft-spoken, 65-year-old Cooper said he decided it was his duty to accept the responsibility after Sirhan picked his name from a list of three men furnished by A. L. Wirin, chief counsel in California for the American Civil Liberties Union.
Kussell E. Parsons, a veteran
appeals lawyer who has been Sirhan's attorney of record to date, will continue on the case but Cooper will call the signals for the defense.
The 24-year-old Jordanian immigrant has entered a plea of innocent. Sirhan is scheduled to go to trial Dec. 9 but a postponement of the start of the trial pt the first of the year is expected.
Cooper has not yet ever met Sirhan. However, Parsons has kept Cooper fully informed of his advance work in the case and the two attorneys jointly decided on the straight plea of not guilty rather than the possible plea of not guilty by reason of insanity.
Cooper says he has not yet decided on the nature of the defense but that the "why" of Sirhan's action and his mental condition are the obvious questions in a killing which was witnessed by dozens of persons.
The Christmas tree in the rotunda of Strong Hall will be set up December 12, Buchholz said. The tree, which has not yet been found, must be large enough for the rotunda and yet be small enough to be brought into the building. Because the rear entrance to Strong Hall has been changed by the addition of Spencer Library, getting a tree inside the building presents a problem, he said.
The tree in Strong Hall will rotate, Buchholz said. In order to decorate it, a scaffold will be erected, and while the tree rotates, men on the scaffold will string the lights.
Buchholz said the Christmas lights will remain on at night on campus even after students go home for the holidays, and will come down sometime between Christmas and the first of January.

His talk will deal with the future of geological training related to employment of geologists in teaching and industry.
Musicians join Headstart in teaching children music
Members of Mu Phi Epsilon, professional music sorority, have joined Lawrence's two Headstart programs in teaching music to three and four-year olds.
Janice Johnson, Wichita senior and president of Mu Phie Epsilon, explained that she teaches weekly half-hour music sessions for both Headstart programs. Miss Johnson is music consultant for the two programs.
"We are planning a series of lessons designed to coordinate with the goals of Headstart," Miss Johnson said.
She explained that the music lessons do not include the traditional study of one instrument. Instead, children are taught simple songs and rhythm exercises to establish an interest in music.
Other members of Mu Phi Epsilon have volunteered to present single musical experiences to the children. These may include instrumental or vocal demonstrations.
Miss Johnson said these presentations are not organized as structured learning processes. Their purpose is to expose the children to many forms of musical experience.
Miss Johnson teaches 24 children at the Plymouth Congregational Church and 30 at the Ballard Community Center.

JERUSALEM (UPI)-Jordanian and Israeli artillery thundered in a three-hour duel in the pre-dawn darkness early today along the widest front between the two nations since the Middle East war.
Big gun flashes lit the sky from the Beisan Valley to the Jordan Valley. Israeli military spokesmen said the Jordanians fired on at least 20 Israeli settlements.
Several settlements were damaged, the spokesmen said, but there were no Isreli casualties.
Monday the Israelis disclosed a plan to resettle up to 15,000 Israelis in the strategic Golan Heights sector they captured
from Syria in the six-day war last year.
The disclosure followed what was described as retaliatory raids by Israeli forces deep into Jordan Sunday. Israeli officials reported all quiet along the River Jordan ceasefire line yesterday.
An Amman radio broadcast, however, said Israeli fighter planes struck early in the day near Irid, Jordan's second largest city, and killed two soldiers and wounded another. Israeli artillery also shelled Irid, about 18 miles southeast of the Sea of Galilee, Sunday night and wounded two civilians, said the Jordanians.
