Militarism protest planned by students
At 2 p.m. on Veteran's day, marchers will meet at North Park-Eighth and Kentucky Streets. They will either become a part of the VFW parade, or trail at some distance behind. In either case they plan to have a police escort.
Final plans for a "March Against Militarism" on Veteran's Day, November 11, by Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) were made at a meeting last night in the Wesley Foundation.
A leaflet distributed by SDS states, "Our policy (during the march) is to refrain entirely from initiating physical altercations with those persons who disagree with our beliefs."
The march will follow the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) parade. Its purpose will be "to show opposition to the war and to militarism," according to a leaflet distributed at the meeting.
At 3:30 p.m. marchers will gather on the lawn of Strong Hall.
At 5:30 p.m. they will gather in the Kansas Union to greet Veterans of Foreign Wars as they arrive for the VFW banquet, with leaflets and signs expressing their "anti-war attitudes."
Members of Peoples Voice also plan to be present in the march, said Jay Barrish, Kansas City, Mo, graduate student, and Rick Atkinson, Belleville graduate student, both Voice Members.
Then members say they plan to send a representative to the VFW dinner to read a statement of SDS beliefs, saying that they
Shanahan staged furious campaign
TOPEKA-Elwill M. Shanahan is a woman, a Republican and again Kansas Secretary of State. Like any victorious candidate, Mrs. Shanahan was pleased as the vote pushed her closer to re-election Tuesday night.
"As a matter of fact, Docking game me my first appointment as a member of the Kansas Interstate Commerce Corporation in 1966."
While talking with Mrs. Shanahan, it was announced that Docking was the apparent winner of the Governor's race and would be in office for another two years.
Mrs. Shanahan, widow of the late Secretary of State Paul R. Shanahan, was appointed by former governor William Avery to fill the unexpired term of her husband, who was serving his eighth term.
do not oppose the veterans, but "SDS condemnies warmakers who use the GI's and us as pawns in their game of death."
Later the group will gather in a not-yet-designed room of the Union, at which time they will have a speaker and conclude their Veteran's Day activities.
Both the state parties show confidence first
TOPEKA-Both Republican and Democratic camps here Tuesday night appeared highly confident with early returns in the gubernatorial race.
With only three to five per cent of the precincts recorded, Docking supporters predicted a win with an 80,000 to 100,000 vote margin.
Docking fans strolled through the Jayhawk Hotel lobby smiling and chatting informally about their candidate's firm hold on the governor's seat. Their confidence in winning the state's number one race persuaded them to turn their focus on national races, as many sat glued to television sets.
A similar feeling ran among Harman supporters when early balloting revealed Docking trailing in counties in which he was stronger in 1966. Harman campaigners were jubilant about the early returns and predicted a tight but victorious outcome.
Bill Low, executive director of the Republican state party expressed delight in the popularity rise of his once-unknown candidate.
"Harman suffered at first because he was not well known. In July we didn't have a ghost of a chance; by September we caught up with Docking, and have been running even ever since," he said.
Low credited the Democrats with helping Harman to gain public support when Harman debated with Docking.
The Democrats contended, however, they hurt Harman with the debates as evidenced by Docking's strong showing in Johnson County, a major Harman stronghold.
"The debates jazzed up our own people tremendously and gave them a needed shot in the arm." he said.
Both groups remained confident until early morning returns showed Docking ahead with a substantial margin. About 1:15 a.m., Republicans conceded to the newly re-elected Gov. Docking and Rick Harman became another face in the crowd.
Raymond Schwegler, director of Watkins, is concerned about students seeking medical aid at Lawrence Memorial Hospital rather than Watkins.
Watkins Memorial Hospital which is financed by KU students and consequently belongs to the students, is not being patronized by them.
"We have the latest equipment and the best staff we can get our hands on," Schwegler said. "Our facilities are geared to a specific age group, so we have special equipment to handle injuries common to college students."
"We're trying to combine the two hospitals to get maximum service," he said, "because the elimination of one would mean the failure of the other."
He explained the hospitals are structured to serve two different groups of people, and for this reason students should come to Watkins—the hospital designed for them.
However, Schweigler said because medical facilities in Lawrence are in short supply, both hospitals must work together.
Students avoid Watkins
Schwegler, wonders if the lack of patronage is a form of protest by students. He said Watkins is not in competition with Lawrence Memorial and is not suffering financially from the lack of student patronage.
Hospital calls for support
Everything favors the student coming this way first," he said.
"Downtown the doctors really might resent students coming to them because the pay would be small and they probably don't enjoy getting out of bed," he said. "The students are not penalizing anyone at Watkins-I think it is something psychological."
"Watkins belongs to the students and is almost 100 per cent student-oriented," Schwegler said, "while the Lawrence hospital is oriented toward townsfolk who support it with their taxes."
Schwegler credits the action to a lack of understanding of the facilities and staff at Watkins. Although Watkins is presently understaffed, he said the physicians now employed are top quality and additional staff will be hired soon. He noted that many of the doctors at Watkins are employed at Lawrence Memorial also.
Schwegler explained that persons seeking medical aid at Lawrence must first be referred by their personal physician or be a victim of desperate emergency. Likewise, students may be referred to Lawrence by a Watkins physician.
Students are taking pot luck when they go to Lawrence Memorial; there is no assurance of receiving treatment from a doctor who is trained to handle their specific injury, he said. On the other hand, Watkins employs a doctor on call who has access to students' records and can quickly locate a specifically trained physician.
"We're private doctors for the students. If they start with us we'll pave the way for them to Lawrence hospital without any argument," he said.
"If students use us and use us properly, we'll get good results."
Schweegler emphasized the importance of students coming immediately to Watkins and erasing the prejudices they have for their own hospital. He mentioned that Watkins can give treatment for about one-half the price charged by Lawrence Memorial.

do your contact lenses lead a clean life?
Contact lenses can be heaven . . . or hell. They may be a wonder of modern science but just the slightest bit of dirt under the lens can make them unbearable. In order to keep your contact lenses as comfortable and convenient as they were designed to be, you have to take care of them.
Until now you needed two or more separate solutions to properly prepare and maintain your contacts. You would think that caring for contacts should be as convenient as wearing them. It can be with Lensine.
Lensine is the one lens solution for complete contact lens care. Just a drop or two, before you insert your lens, coats and lubricates it allowing the lens to float more freely in the eye's fluids. That's
because Lensine is an "isotonic" solution, which means that it blends with the natural fluids of the eye.
Cleaning your contacts with Lensine retards the buildup of foreign deposits on the lenses. And soaking your contacts in Lensine between wearing periods assures you of proper lens hygiene. You get a free soaking case on the bottom of every bottle of Lensine. It has been demonstrated that improper storage between wearings may result in the growth of bacteria on the lenses. This is a sure cause of eye irritation and in some cases can endanger your vision. Bacteria cannot grow in Lensine which is sterile, self-sanitizing, and antiseptic.
Let your contacts be the convenience they were meant to be. Get some Lensine, from the Murine Company, Inc.
