New York students protest arrest of 171
NEW YORK (UPI) About 200 City College of New York (CCNY) students staged a sit-in Thursday night in the school's administration building to protest-the arrest of 171 persons in a police raid on the campus.
The students, many of them members of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS),listened to speeches in the lobby of the building for an hour and 15 minutes and then left. Campus guards locked the front doors.
The raid took place early Thursday when police entered a student center and arrested those who had defied police all week by sheltering an AWOL California soldier with their own bodies.
This year's Project Concern Variety. Show features a rock band, folk singing, comedy routines and dramatic readings.
Authorities had located Army Pvt. William S. Brakefield, 19, of
Variety show Nov.22 & 23
The show, entitled "Simple Joys," will run Nov. 22 to 23 at 8 p.m. in Hooch Auditorium. Collegiates for Concern, a campus service organization, sponsors the project.
Performers will include James R. Surface, University provost; Emily Taylor, dean of women, and Dr. Raymond Schwegler, head of the Student Health Service. They will band together to form a singing trio.
Housemothers from KU living groups, the "Gaslight Gang," a local instrumental group, and 18 students will participate.
A "Laugh-In"-type spot routine provides the between-act entertainment.
Tickets for both performances are now available at the Kansas Union Information Counter or by writing Collegiates for Concern, Box 73, Lawrence. They are $1.50 for all seats.
Collegiateates for Concern, a fund-raising organization formed three years ago by members of this year's senior class, has branches at 150 campuses across the nation. Dave Keesling, Herington senior majoring in political science, serves as a driving force behind the group.
Tickets still available
Between 200 and 250 tickets, and those "mostly in the balcony," remain for the last two performances of "Kismet," a box office spokesman said today.
The money earned by KU's Collegiates for Concern will help build a pediatrics clinic at DaMpao, South Vietnam.
"Very few are left," and those are mostly the $1.20 tickets, these tickets are free with the KU ID and registration card, the spokesman said.
Other tickets sell for $1.80 and $2.40 but the ID and registration card will cover $1.20 of this cost.
Speaking of the "Kismet" ticket sales, the spokesman said, "This is as close to a sell-out as we'll ever get."
"Kismet," the Arabian Night tale of entwined romances and destinies, opened Oct. 31 with "a large crowd" and has had "very good and large crowds since."

Van Nuys, Calif., as early as last week but whenever he appeared in public, students surrounded him, linked arms and defied police to arrest him.
Complete lines of cosmetics, toiletries
He and the CCNY students were arrested as they staged a "sanctuary vigil" in the threestory building. About 200 members of the Police Department's Tactical Patrol Force had to carry out 20 students who refused to walk from the building into police vans.
Complete prescription departments and fountain service.
The students were charged with criminal trespass.
As a result of the action university authorities lifted the SDS charter. Leaders of the group Thursday vowed to enlarge their struggle and perhaps attempt to recoopy the student center. They demanded amnesty for those arrested, return of their charter, and an explanation of why police had been allowed on campus.
Brakefield has been absent without leave from Ft. Devens, Mass., since Oct. 2. Last week he went to the CCNY campus and immediately became the center of student demonstrations and antiwar protests. He led a demonstration on the campus Wednesday at which three students burned what they said were their draft cards.
Business alumni give opinions on computer games
Alumni of the School of Business attending Alumni Day today will try their skills in an inventory management game, Clifford Clark, dean of the business school said.
Playing the game will enable the alumni to give their opinions of computer-based games in education. Clark said.
Clark explained these games are part of a new educational experiment in business education. Students play against computers in a realistic business situation, he said.
After the games, L. T. Greiner, assistant to the president of B. F. Goodrich, will speak on "What's the Business of Business," in the Kansas Union Forum Room, Clark said.
The activities will close with a speech by C. F. Snow, British author in Hoch Auditorium, Clark said.
Clark said he expects about 120 alumni to attend.
Postponement
HOLLYWOOD (UPI)—Alan Jay Lerner announced his Broadway production of "Coco," starring Katharine Hepburn, has been postponed until mid-summer rehearsal next year.
"Uptight students" at Lawrence High School formed an informational organization in coalition with Students for a Democratic Society at KU after tension between students and the administration caused a walkout by blacks early last month.
SDS helps form coalition at LHS
Robert Backus, a student at LHS said the basic purpose of the club is "to keep people informed on all facets of modern politics."
The organization was formed with the help of Lance Hill, a University of Kansas student described by Backus as a "conservative member of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)."
Hill said the students "were uptight" at the high school about a number of recent incidents, and they didn't know what to do about it. He said he went to the school to find a leader to organize the group.
Hill said that the general ideology of the organization was to express opinions of students (freedom and minority opinions) to communicate with administrators.
"We (SDS at KU) have no roles, except if the high school students want any help," he said. Hill described the new organization as "a monolithic thing."
Backus said that the KU chapter of SDS will guarantee speakers for the high school group.
Backus said the LHS walkout brought plans for the formation of such a group. "The student body didn't understand the gravity of the situation at the high school and they didn't understand Negro motives in the walkout." he said.
"We want to get going as soon as possible . . . We think it's a pressing need," Backus said. "We feel that some changes are necessary in the establishment. But change is not through confrontation . . . rather through education."
Members of SDS at KU expressed the belief that the new high school organization may join them in their "March Against Militarism" on Veteran's Day, November 11. The march will follow the Veteran's Day parade.
