Second administrator in three days resigns
The University of Kansas lost its second high administrative official in three days Wednesday when the resignation of Dean Kenneth E. Anderson of the School of Education was announced by Chancellor W. Clarke Waecoe.
Wescoe announced his own resignation only two days earlier at KU's 103rd Convocation ceremonies.
Although Anderson could not be reached for comment Wednesday evening, an official bulletin said he will remain at the University and continue teaching in the area of higher education. He hopes to devote some time to consulting small colleges.
No successor to his post had
been named as of Wednesday evening.
"What Dean Anderson has done for the University and for the School of Education is literally phenomenal." Wescoe said after the resignation had been announced. "The University and the state are in his debt. When he completes the coming year he will have served as dean for 16 years and presided over a period of unprecedented growth in the School of Education."
"The University is twice fortunate that Dean Anderson will remain with us' to develop new areas of excellence in the School of Education," Wescoe concluded.
Anderson came to KU from Iowa State Teachers College
(now the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls) in 1948 as an assistant professor. He was promoted to associate professor in 1950, to professor in 1952 and to dean in 1953.
He has been president of the National Association for Research in Science Teaching, president of the American Educational Research Association and chairman of the board of directors of the Council for Research in Education.
Anderson has provided the University with annual projections of enrollment so accurate that other Kansas institutions call upon him for their planning.
Anderson has been active in research, focusing on statistics, testing, and predictive studies.
Alone and with others, he has published 134 articles and summaries, nearly 100 of them since becoming dean.
He traveled abroad for the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, the U.S. State Department, and the North Central Association.
Early in his career, Anderson was a science teacher, principal, and superintendent in four Minnesota public schools.He later was director of the University of Minnesota High School and principal of the Campus High School of Iowa State Teachers College.
Anderson has received the Outstanding Achievement Award of the University of Minnesota, election to Sigma Xi as the fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, selection by the National Science Foundation as a visiting scientist in the American Psychological Association program, and an award of recognition for outstanding service to the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.

Columbia U. erupts again
New York (UPI)—Student rebels, clashing with nightstick-swinging guards, interrupted fall registration for classes at Columbia University Wednesday and hundreds of them later met in a campus buildling in defiance of a university ban.
university About 150 of the students tried to barge into the university gymnasium to register youths suspended from the school because of last spring's bloody clashes on the campus.
There were no arrests but university Proctor William Kahn said disciplinary action would be taken against students who were recognized by security officers and campus officials.
SDS Activity Banned
Several hours later the university's Committee on Student Organizations announced a ban on the use of university facilities by the campus chapter of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) which organized Wednesday's protest.
But despite the announcement, about 400 students marched into the
Schermerhorn Science Building Wednesday night to attend a meeting of the International Assembly of Revolutionary Students. The session was sponsored by SDS.
A university spokesman said there were no immediate plans to evict the students. Only one university guard was seen at the building.
Failed to Abide
He said the committee took action against SDS because the group had violated an earlier agreement to abide by university rules governing campus demonstrations.
During the afternoon confrontation, one guard hit a demonstrator across the back with his night stick. Students began shouting "Chicago" and tried to grab nightsticks away from other guards. Gus Reischbach, a member of SDS, was hit in the face with a nightstick.
No one appeared seriously injured in the melee and after five minutes the students backed away and the 10 uniformed guards regrouped.
The demonstrators remained stationed outside the door of the registration hall until Kahn announced that "registration has been temporarily closed." They then withdrew to a grassy area and gradually dispersed.
Troubles Last Spring
The trouble last spring erupted over student demands that the university halt construction of a gymnasium on Harlen Park land and sever its ties with the Institute of Defense Analyses. Hundreds were injured and hundreds arrested when city police twice cleared demonstrators holding siege in university buildings.
Student rebels demand as their price for campus peace this fall that Columbia end its "racist and militaristic policies" and grant amnesty to all students involved in last spring's outbreaks.
Acting president Andrew Cordier said he will listen to proposals but "I will not listen to any demands."
Wallace warns radicals
By Steve Havner
Kansas City-George Wallace, third party presidential candidate, told a cheering crowd here last night "the radicals and anarchists had better have their day now.
Wallace, speaking to 10,000 persons at a rally at the American Royal Exhibition hall warned "after November 5th, they will be through."
Twelve demonstrators were being removed from the hall by police as he spoke.
And the police were everywhere.
WEATHER
The U.S. Weather Bureau predicts variable cloudiness today through Friday. Light variable winds today. Highs near 80, lows tonight lower 50s. Chance of rain today 30 per cent, tonight 10 per cent. Friday 20 per cent.
He said the only trouble police encountered was minor disturbances. No arrests were made.
Wallace quipped that if any demonstrator laid in front of his car, it would be "the last car he laid in front of."
Guarding Wallace himself were about 50 federal officers. They refused to disclose their numbers.
Police Chief C. M. Kelly said he had about 100 men assigned to keep order during the Wallace stay.
"These are the kind of people we are sick and tired of," the Governor said of the demonstrators.
He was referring to an incident in Los Angeles in which radical demonstrators blocked President Johnson's automobile.
Of the Vietnam war Wallace said he would relay heavily on the judgment of the joint chiefs of staff.
"I will ask them if they believe that a military settlement can be reached." he said. He did not elaborate.
He also repeated his earlier pledge to "throw under some jails" those who called for a communist victory in Vietnam.
He went on to criticize President Johnson for not making federal troops more readily available to riot areas.

"The amount of red tape involved in getting federal troops is ridiculous." je exclaimed.
"After all," he said, "we got federal troops in Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas and didn't even ask for them."
Wallace, calling his campaign a grass roots movement, said "The major parties don't care about the common people."
Wallace aides said that last night's rally was his most successful in recent weeks.

Mail order gun control bill survives Senate turnabout
Washington (UPI)—The Senate, in a sharp turnabout from the stand it took before Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated, has overwhelmingly approved legislation to limit sales of rifles, shotguns and ammunition.
The bill, after three days of debate on a host of amendments, passed on a roll call vote of 70 to 17 Wednesday after the Senate beat back a liberal drive to require federal registration of all guns and licensing of their owners.
The bill now goes to a conference committee to reconcile differences between Senate and House versions of the measure.

Clark, Hoover part on violence stands
Washington (UPI)-Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, the nation's two top law enforcement officers, are miles apart on "law and order."
Their differences on the police role in riots and public demonstrations surfaced dramatically Wednesday during the first round of closed hearings before the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence.
Hoover praised Chicago authorities for their success in the face of "chaotic circumstances" in preventing the Democratic National Convention from being disrupted or any lives from being lost in demonstrations.
Clark deplored police violence "in excess of authority" as the most dangerous of all, "for who will protect the public when the police violate the law?"
