Union tunnel scheduled to be ready by winter
By SUSAN BRIMACOMBE
Kansas Staff Writer
The pedestrian tunnel from the Kansas Union to the X zone parking lot is scheduled to be completed by winter, Frank Burge, Kansas Union director, said yesterday.
"The tunnel is a necessary and logical expansion and will provide a safe, well-lighted, comfortable underground link from the Union to the parking lot," Burge said.
A 12-car carport in the corner of the parking lot will serve as an unloading dock and entrance to the passageway. The carport will be useful in adverse weather as students may go directly from cars into the tunnel, Burge said.
The 16-foot-wide passageway, which will accommodate 300 persons a minute, will also feature windows along its west side for a view into wooded Marvin Grove.
Addition being built
Also under construction is an addition to the northwest corner of the Union building rising three stories above Baumgartner Drive. Housed in the new section will be a sloped-floor auditorium, similar to those in Murphy Hall. The auditorium, which will seat more than 640 person, will have an elevated, fire-proof film projection booth. Burge said.
Burge already has 108 requests for use of the multi-purpose auditorium on the second floor,
Woman surrenders to manslaughter charge
KANSAS CITY (UPI)—A Kansas City woman who had fought attempts by Wyandotte County officials to extradite her from Missouri to face manslaughter charges surrendered to the Wyandotte County Sheriff yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Kathern Houston was arraigned before Judge Dean Smith in Magistrate Court after she voluntarily gave herself up.
She was held in the Wyandotte County Jail and bond was set at
$10,000. A hearing in the case was set for Oct. 17 in Magistrate Court.
Mrs. Houston was chargd in connection with a traffic accident at 4024 Springfield in Kansas City July 15 in which 8-year-old James Warren and 4-year-old Cynthia Warren were killed.
which will be the same level as the ballroom.
"The new addition will provide a great lift in student life of films, concerts and forums," Burge said.
The surrender followed a three month battle by Wyandotte County officials to extradite the woman from Missouri.
Other expansion in the new addition will provide space for paneled conference rooms each accommodating 40-90 persons.
Rooms for meetings
"The new rooms will provide an ideal environment for good student organizational meetings such as the student council," Burge said.
The first floor will house the Alumni Association's offices, now in Sudler House, and the major portion of the basement will provide additional space for the Union Book and Supply Store. Burge said.
Burge expressed concern in having the Union well-designed externally as well as internally. Consequently, the new structure will be topped with terrace areas overlooking the Memorial Campanile, Memorial Stadium and the Kaw Valley. Benches and bushes will surround the building and a new northwest stairway will be constructed, he said.
Twelve Union entrances
With the completion of the new addition, the Union will have eight pedestrian entrances.
SAIGON (UPI)—American infantrymen and paratroopers killed 67 Communist soldiers 30 miles north of Saigon and another U.S. unit discovered a nearby base camp stockpiled with medical equipment and weapons, U.S. military spokesmen said today.
Communist supply caches found
They said 250 infantrymen patrolling Highway 22, a main artery leading to the Cambodian border, ran into the Communist force.
U. S. losses were described as "light."
The Americans called in paratroop reinforcements and got intensive fire support from helicopter gunships and artillery in day-long fighting.
At about the same time yesterday, 1st Infantry Division patrols scouring the jungles 20 miles north of Saigon discovered the base camp organized around elaborate networks of foxholes and underground caches.
The patrol unearthed 1,550 pounds of medical supplies, 2,000 mines, 87 rocket grenades
and 19 individual weapons, they said.
Further north, American units unearthed a Communist medical storehouse packed with sophisticated drugs and plasma, possibly stolen by Viet Cong, and another huge ammunition stockpile.
The large medical cache fell prey yesterday to units of 1st Cavalry Division paratroopers 22 miles west of the old imperial capital of Hue on the north coast.
Spokesmen said the supply point held 75 million units of penicillin, 18,000 units of plasma, 16,000 pills and packages of novocaine and surgical gauze.
Military headquarters was investigating the possibility that the pain-killing drugs may have been taken from Quang Ngai hospital, raided last week by Viet Cong.
Near Auang Tri, on the northern coast, other U.S. soldiers dug up a supply point containing
15,000 rounds of small arms fire, 80 rounds of mortar fire, 60 boxes of medical supplies and 120 Russian-made rifles.
To the north, U.S. Marine Patrols discovered a nearby cache of weapons two miles south of the Demilitarized Zone that included 200 rounds of 152 millimeter artillery shells.
Discovery of the six-inch Russian-made shells marked the first time this type of long-range ammunition has been found in South Vietnam. The big cannon for the shells can fire a 90-pound projectile 13 miles.
No show for Virgin vision
WASHINGTON (UPI)—President Johnson will make his first nationwide appeal for the Humphrey-Muskie ticket Thursday in a recorded 10-minute radio address, the White House announced Monday.
ST. BRUNO, Que. (UPI)—An estimated 20,000 people jammed a muddy field in the cold and rain Monday night, but a much heralded "vision of the Virgin Marv" failed to appear.
LBJ to campaign
A spokesman for the overworked local police force said about half of the crowd remained on the field, although the vision failed to appear as scheduled between 7:30 and 9 p.m.
A group of young school girls, who claimed to have seen the Virgin last summer, had predicted another vision would appear between 7:30 and 9 p.m., Monday night. Their assertion brought thousands of pilgrims from across Canada and the United States to this tiny community 12 miles southeast of Montreal.
Press secretary George Christian said the President would speak at 7:45 EDT on a National Broadcasting Co. program sponsored by the International Ladies Garment Workers Union.
Some cripples, hoping to be healed by the Holy Mother, claimed to have seen an apparition, but the vast majority of the crowd saw nothing.
Shortly before 7:30, members of the White Berets, a religious sect, escorted the girls to the field where the apparition was expected. Thousands pushed forward toward the cross and flower bedecked irge of the Virgin which had been placed on the site.
Led by the White Berets, the crowd said prayers in the darkness during the hour and a half
when the vision was scheduled to appear.
As the crowd milled around the muddy, ill-lit field in drizzle which had been falling all day, more than 100 persons were either trampled or collapsed from shock and hysteria.
It will be the first of a series of union-sponsored programs in behalf of the Democratic presidential nominee, Hubert H. Humphrey, and his running mate, Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine.

The new Union expansion is necessary because of increase of more than 7,000 students since 1960, Burge said. Even with a staff working two shifts to keep it open from 7 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. seven days a week, the Union cannot accommodate all 16,000 students, he said.

More than 11,000 events were scheduled last year and there were approximately 9,000 trans-
Burge said the one million dollar addition is scheduled for completion next June.
"We are faced with a busy building that needs to grow, and the students told me what they wanted," he said. "For this reason the building is being done since the Union plays an active part in the daily extra-curricular life of University students," Burge said.
No Kremlin-LBJ summit
LONDON (UPI) — Diplomatic sources said yesterday the Kremlin has changed its mind about a summit conference with President Johnson and will seek instead a meeting with his successor early next year.
The sources said the Soviet leaders, who had planned on a summit meeting with Johnson before the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia, now consider such talks would be useless.
They said the Kremlin feels Johnson is in no position to undertake any major policy commitments for the United States since his term of office will expire in January.
Besides, the sources said, the Kremlin itself is in no condition at this stage to negotiate any long-term undertakings because its own policy is in "the melting pot."
