LHS blacks to propose new cheerleader plans
Lawrence High School's student leaders will consider a plan tomorrow for revamping the school's cheerleader selection process.
The plan is being sponsored by leaders of the black students who walked out of Lawrence High School in September for three days to call attention to a list of eight student demands.
Beverly Southard, one of the black student leaders, said she does not expect the issue to come to a vote tomorrow. She said she expected amendments to the proposal to be made.
The new system of choosing cheerleaders would allow a qualified group to select cheerleader candidates to be chosen by the student body. Currently, the nominees are chosen directly by the student body.
Miss Southard said she would not pressure the council to pass the bill tomorrow but would want to examine all the proposed amendments.
Spencer Library dedicated
Three careers—science, literature and government—are accredited to the British Lord who will be the featured speaker at the dedication of the new $2,125,000 Kenneth Spencer Library at KU Nov. 8.
C. P. Snow, a renowned novelist, is also recognized for work in infrared spectroscopy. In government he served as a Parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Technology for two years. The union of these careers has been the subject of many of his writings.
"Strangers and Brothers" is not only his most famous book, but was also the foundation for two series of similar novels.
The Western Civilization program at KU includes one of Snow's books, "Two Cultures."
Auto-Like Ship Engine
DULUTH, Minn. (UPI) — A new diesel engine that enables ships to maneuver like an automobile has been installed on a Great Lakes cargo vessel.
James F. Murphy, director-Industrial and Marine Division of Cummins Engine Co., said the new diesel showed the ship can negotiate narrow rivers, locks in canals and dock without the aid of tugs.
"We want a good thing," she said.
Principal Bill Medley, who earlier predicted that the council would eventually pass the cheerleader bill, said yesterday that a faculty committee is studying the black student demand for a Negro history course.
Medley said he "presumes" the committee will recommend the course be added second semester. The committee will submit its decision during the first week in November.
Looking back on the black walkout which drew statewide attention, Medley said the strike "slowed us down on making some our plans."
He added, however, that the walkout "probably accomplished some other things."
"We aren't doing anything different than we told them we would do last spring," Medley said.
