THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
3
Woman named to Hall of Fame
The late Miss Bertha Shore has become the first woman ever to be named to the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame.
Miss Shore was honored at the annual Kansas Editors' Day here Saturday.
Editor of the Augusta Daily Gazette for 35 years, she was known for her salty humor. She signed her column "Ima Washout" and wrote such observations as:
"Many a starlet made it to the top because her dress didn't . . . " and "Girls who trip the light fantastic shouldn't count on cheap elastic."
She defined an intellectual as "a person who can quote what some bright person said."
SKORPIOS, Greece (UPI)—Mrs. John F. Kennedy exchanged a name honored in American history for one more celebrated in the annals of high finance Sunday when she became the bride of Greek multimillionaire Aristotle Onassis amid extraordinary scenes on his privately-owned island paradise.
The citation was delivered by Calder Pickett, professor of journalism, who categorized Miss Shore in the grand tradition of other great Kansas journalists such as William Allen White and Ed Howe.

A person must be dead for at least three years before becoming eligible for membership in the Hall of Fame. Miss Shore died March 13, 1963.
Miss Shore and her brother, Chester, made a joint purchase of the Augusta Gazette in 1928. She formed a partnership with four other employees in 1946, and continued working on the paper until her death.
"A man has to live an awful careful life these days to keep from being presented with a plaque or scroll," Miss Shore once said.
The Senate Council voted Friday to postpone the University Senate meeting scheduled for Oct. 29 until the proposed new Senate Code is ready for faculty approval.
The 39-year-old widow of the martyred President walked smiling out of the tiny Greek Orthodox chapel of the Little Mother of God and into a new life as the wife of one of the world's richest men—a life that will keep her away for long periods from the native land where she has known great happiness and great tragedy.
She had her 7-year-old son John by the hand rather than her husband's arm in the line with the general informality of the occasion.
"The code cannot possibly be out of the Senate Council by Oct. 29," Ambrose Saricks, chairman, said. "Since action on the code is to be the University Senate's main concern, it seems useless to go ahead with the meeting."

The proposed code must be passed in the same form by both the ASC and the Senate Council before it can be presented to the University Senate and the student body for their approval.
If it is not, a joint committee will be formed to iron out any differences. Saricks indicated that appointments to the committee may be made soon.
NORTHAMPTON, England (UPI)—"I just can't get along with people outside prison," said Kenneth Chambers, 52, when he asked Northampton quarter sessions court to extend an eight-year prison sentence on robbery and forgery charges. The court obliged by re-sentencing him to 12 years.
Meeting postponed; await code
The 12-member committee was formed last spring after a petition demanding reforms in the structure of the university was presented to Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe by members of People's Voice, then called Student Voice.
- Abolition of the ASC and the creation of a Student Senate to act as the student governing body.
- A revamped University Senate composed of the present Faculty Senate and the proposed Student Senate.

Wants In
Among the code's provisions are:
The new Senate Code is the product of the Student Faculty Committee on University Governance, of which Saricks was also chairman.
"Hopefully the code can go to the University Senate and the student body sometime in November," Saricks said.
- Student representation on the Senate Council, the Senate Executive Committee, and all University Senate committees. Proposed representation on the University Senate is about 15 per cent.
Work in Europe
At Friday's meeting, the Senate Council discussed several amendments, largely in regard to phraseology rather than substance.
The Council also decided to give the Senate Executive Committee (Senex) the authority to release statements to the press, whenever necessary, about the Council's progress on the code.
Senate Council will meet again next Friday afternoon.
