Czechs storm embassy
PRAGUE-Thousands of rebellious students yesterday stormed the Soviet Embassy howling "Russians go home" and marched through the streets until early Tuesday marking Czechoslovak independence day with the wildest anti-Soviet demonstrations since the early days of the resistance.
King Wenceslas Square blazed with symbolic "freedom candles" and boisterous shouting again this morning for the first time since the Soviets outlawed demonstrations around the beloved landmark in September.
Moon decision next month

LBJ to teach at Rice
HOUSTON—President Johnson will teach a series of seminars at Rice University next spring on topics to be announced later, Dr. Joseph Cooper, chairman of the university's political science department, said Monday.
Cooper said Johnson, in accepting the invitation, said, "At this time it is difficult to arrange a schedule and to decide on the format of my visits with you. Rest assured, however, that I gladly accept your invitation."
WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy said today he intends to vote for Hubert H. Humphrey for President and recommended that his followers do the same.
"Many, if not most, of my supporters have, I believe, already made this decision," McCarthy said.
He issued the statement from his Capitol office, saying most Americans were "quite capable of making their own decision about the presidency."
After refusing, since he lost the Democratic nomination to Humphrey in Chicago in August, to endorse Humphry or to tell his supporters what he would do on election day, McCarthy said in the statement just one week before the voting:
"To those . . . who may be waiting for my decision, I wish to announce that on Nov. 5 I intend to vote for Vice President Hubert Humphrey and recommend that those who have waited for this statement of my position do the same."
McCarthy said Humphrey's stand on "the principle issues that have
KU Rhodes candidates named, must pass 3 hurdles to win
Seven University of Kansas seniors have been nominated as Rhodes Scholars, Aldon Bell, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, announced yesterday.
The seven seniors are: Donald Hedrick, Topeka; Joe Goering, Moundridge; Clyde Toland, Iola; John Coyle, Coffeyville; John Michael, Hutchinson; Michael Kirk, Kansas City, Mo., and Charles Eberline, Bartlesville, Okla.
Bell said the candidates will appear before state selection committees Dec.18. Each state committee will name two candidates to appear before a regional committee Dec. 21. Only 32 Rhodes Scholars are named nationally each year.
Kirk and Eberline will not appear before the Kansas selection committee, but will go to the home states. Bell said.
KU has had 18 Rhodes Scholars, but the last was in 1965 when Stephen Munzer of Salina won the award.
A Rhodes Scholarship provides about $2,000 a year for up to three
been raised in my campaign—namely, the ending of the war in Vietnam, the demilitarization of United States government policy, and the reform of the draft laws so as to make them responsive to individual conscience, together with the reform of the political process within the Democratic Party—falls far short of what I think it should be.
"The choice, however, is between Vice President Hubert Humphrey and Richard Nixon. My support of Hubert Humphrey is based on two considerations:
ASC may act on Code
At tonight's meeting
The All-Student Council (ASC) may vote to pass or reject the proposed University Senate Code tonight, Clif Conrad, student body president, said yesterday.
Final approval of the code has been held up by a series of proposed amendments. These include 50 per cent student representation in the revised University Senate (defeated), living group rather than school unit representation (tabled), and a switch of the duties of the presiding officer of the Student Senate from the Dean of Student Affairs to the president of the student body (passed).
The ASC has been considering the code, which proposes an overhaul of the University's governmental structure, for more than a month. If approved, the code would abolish ASC and replace it with a Student Senate which would have about 15 per cent membership on the University Senate.
Another amendment calls for a fixed number of representatives. The code now specifies one representative for each 200 students in each school of the University.
Also on the ASC agenda tonight is the selection of a student committee to aid in the search for a new Chancellor.
Tonight the ASC will discuss a representation amendment and, hopefully, Conrad said, pass a version of the code.
One version of the proposed amendment, which will be presented by David Miller, Eudora sophomore and large men's residence hall representative, calls for senators to be elected on a basis of one for each 150 votes cast in a given living group district.
Members of this committee will be selected by the ASC from the names of students who applied this week, Conrad said.
"The first, that on the basis of what he has stood for in the past and what he has said about domestic problems in his campaign, Hubert Humphrey has shown a better understanding of our domestic needs and a stronger will to act than has been shown by Richard Nixon.
"The second, that with Hubert Humphrey as President, the possibility of scaling down the arms race and reducing military tensions in the world would be much greater than it would be with Richard Nixon as President of the United States."
To go into effect, the Code must be passed by the ASC, the Senate Council, the University Senate and by the student body in an all-University election.

UNCLE JIMMY BELIEVES
Linus may be disappointed again this year as he awaits the arrival of the Great Pumpkin. The Halloween symbol apparently has judged the steps of Green Hall to be more sincere than the Peanuts character's pumpkin patch and has chosen Uncle Jimmy Green to host his annual visit.
