Students battle over seats during action on field
By SUSAN BRIMACOMBE
Kansan Staff Writer
Although the main attraction at KU's Memorial Stadium last Saturday was the football action on the field, a few blocks were thrown in the stands.
Angered students exchanged blows when they discovered their seats were occuied.
Athletic director, Wade Stinson, found it difficult to understand why the students would break the rules by sitting in unassigned seats.
"I would think the students
would want to see the game, rather than cause such a disturbance," he said.
"There should be enough pride and good judgment on the part of the students to solve the problem without the University resorting to extreme measures," Stinson said.
Stinson attributed the incident to excessive consumption of alcohol by students and their failure to sit in assigned seats.
Stinson emphasized the need for tighter control by ushers and police. However, he said ushers should not be expected to police the students.
"As an usher you can't control young men who are inebriated. The ushers' responsibility is to get the police when trouble arises," he said. "At future games there will be more patrolling and a better job of ushering toward the purpose of making people sit in their proper seats."
Stinson blamed the lack of police control at games on the need for traffic direction, but added the force would be increased if necessary.
Lindsay administration faces its darkest hour
NEW YORK (UPI)—Mayor John V. Lindsay faced the darkest crisis of his administration Tuesday with a warning that the city is headed for disaster in its labor relations unless teachers, police, and firemen end their rebellions.
In addition to a strike by 55,000 unionized teachers that has affected one million public school students, a slowdown by
KU debate teams win second, third in two tourneys
KU freshman and senior debate teams won second and third places in tournaments this past weekend.
The freshmen, Charles Gentry, Topeka, and Brad Smoot, Sterling, were second among 40 teams at Fort Hays State College.
The seniors, who are really sophomores, but entered a senior division tournament at Bethany Nazarene College, Bethany, Okla., took third among 45 teams. They are Nina Johnson, Fargo, N.D.; and Robert Dan Beck, Shawnee Mission.
The KU debaters in the Bethany competition were the youngest competitors.

police and a similar one by firemen scheduled to begin Wednesday, Lindsay faced the possibility of a strike by garbage collectors.
Two thirds of the U.N. guard force also failed to show for work Tuesday, but this dispute did not directly affect the city.
Lindsay and the Board of Education reached an impasse in the school situation last weekend when a special mediation panel gave up the situation as hopeless. He has refused to reopen talks with the police and firemen's union on a contract refused by them but accepted by the sanitation union.
The mayor was visibly shaken by his latest ordeal with public employes' unions, all of which are forbidden to strike or call slowdowns by the state Taylor Law. But he voiced a faint optimism as he and Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller viewed a $1 billion development site in lower Manhattan with the press from the vantage of a sightseeing boat.
He said he did not know who was responsible for the disturbances, but that students must solve the problem by acting as adults.
"The word impossible is not in my vocabulary," Lindsay said. "I see resolutions coming down the road a piece."
