SDS, Voice union may be attained
Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) discussed Wednesday night a possible merger with Peoples Voice.
Mike Warner, San Diego, Calif., graduate student, moderator at the initial SDS meeting, said SDS members had consulted Peoples Voice about the merger.
Another SDS speaker told the approximately 100 students that SDS members should consider the merger during the next few weeks.
He suggested Voice work on campus problems, SDS on national problems.
Warner also suggested the joint publication of a newspaper to serve both groups' interests.
SDS spokesmen said the merger could be total or partial, depending on membership preferences.
Warner said it was time for SDS members to move from personal decision making "toward confrontation." He said SDS must become a "self-conscious radical organization."
The goal of SDS, said John Berthrong, Norman, Okla., senior, is the "entire restructuring of American life from the top to the bottom." American society has "gone sick and is perverted," he added.
While SDS is operating without officers, members will probably decide on the governmental organization Sept. 25.
Warner suggested all committees work on a rotation leadership basis-including the central committee.
One SDS speaker said SDS needs participants, "not leaders and followers."
Religion school thrives despite ..
An established school with no alumni usually can't exist for long, but the Kansas School of Religion has maintained such a seemingly untenable position for 47 years.
Dean William J. Moore explained that the school offers courses to KU students for credit toward graduation. The school graduates no students, however.
Thus, the school is totally responsible for student recruitment and financial support usually alumni programs.
The School of Religion is interdenominational. It now receives financial support from 11 religious bodies including Protestant, Roman Catholic and Jewish groups.
Despite the complete lack of endowment funds, the school has increased its staff and improved its academic status.
The full-time faculty has grown from one to five members. Because most faculty members hold appointments in other KU departments, the school is now able to offer a master of arts in religion degree.
Moore said he hopes to "build up an endowment fund and develop a lively annual giving program."
Belafonte ticket sales selling still available
Tickets for Saturday night's Harry Belafonte concert have been selling fast, said Carol Elliott, Mission junior and ticket chairman.
An expected 10,000 persons will hear Belafonte in the 8 p.m. performance at Allen Field House. Although an official count was not available Wednesday, ticket sales are more than halfway to the 10,000 goal.
Among other topics discussed were:
Miss Elliot said tickets are still available in all price ranges = $2,
$2.50 and $3. These can be bought at the Information
Booth and at the SUA Office in the Kansas Union.
- A benefit featuring a rock band to raise funds.
- An SDS library.
- Organizing SDS chapters in high schools.
- Possible support of Kansas Health Workers Union which struck at two Kansas institutions this summer.
- Participation in draft resistance, Black Power advocacy, opposition to the Vietnam war and picketing of General Lewis Walt, who SDS speakers said would visit Lawrence and KU in November.
Forms needed for deferment
For want of slips of paper, a student can lose his draft deferment.
Kenneth Ivers, assistant dean of men, made that warning yesterday as he explained a draft information circular now being distributed by his office. Attached to the circular are the slips—two short forms which must be sent to draft boards.
Ivers said the University has sent no deferment information to local boards.
Students already holding deferments must send—along with their enrollment cards—the blue form along with their class schedules. Students requesting deferment for the first time must send both that and the other form—also available in the circular.
Ivers emphasized, "If the student doesn't send in the information, no one will."
The circular, now being sent to all fraternities and residence hall men, will be available in the Dean of Men's Office, the Registrar's Office, the Kansas Union Concession Stand or from men's residence hall directors.

Cardinal O'Boyle punishes six priests
Washington (UPI)—Patrick Cardinal O'Boyle Wednesday punished six more rebellious priests for refusing to recant their "statement of conscience" opposing the Papal ban on birth control.
The punishments, including suspension from priestly duties, were handed out to the priests after individual confrontations before the Cardinal.
The most severely punished was the Rev. John Fenton, assistant pastor of St. Mary's Church in Rockville, Md., who was barred from preaching, teaching, counseling, hearing confession or
saying public mass. Father Fenlon, however, was permitted to remain in the parish house.
On Aug. 31, O'Boyle gave the same punishment to another dissenting priest, the Rev. T. Joseph O'Donoghue, assistant pastor of St. Francis Desales church in Washington. But he was ordered out of the parish house and is now living with a parish family.
The latest punishment were announced by the association of Washington priests.
The Rev. John E. Corrigan, chairman of the association which has supported the dissenting priests, was one of the priests punished. Corrigan was barred from hearing confessions or teaching and preaching on the subject of birth control.
A total of 51 priests in the Washington archdiocese said publicly in a "statement of conscience" that Roman Catholic couples may responsibly use artificial birth control in some circumstances on the basis of individual conscience.
