B & G kept busy on work projects, weather helps
KU Building and Grounds crews completed three major projects this summer. Harry Buchholz, Director of Building and Grounds said his force was kept busy:
- Remodeling the former print shop area in the west end of Flint hall.
- Paving the road leading to Sudler house, north of 11th Street at West Campus Road.
- Laying sod in the area around the New Spencer Library.
The Flint hall remodeling included installation of new TV labs for the radio-TV program and new ceramics and industrial arts work areas for the department of design.
Buchholz said he feels the campus is in generally better shape than in previous years. He said this was due to favorable weather.
Staff positions open on Greek publication
Staff applications are now being accepted for the "Greek Column," the IFC newspaper for fraternities and sororities, according to John Hill, Prairie Village senior, editor.
The "Greek Column" appeared as a special rush week edition Sept. 1, and fraternity and sorority presidents are asked to select a house representative and contact Richard Louv, Wichita sophomore, associate editor, at Phi Kappa Theta, Hill said.
Politics gets the business
In the face of KU's tradition for political apathy, one of the biggest attractions at the SUA Activities Carnival Monday in the Kansas Union was politics.
Three of the most active student political organizations, the Collegiate Young Republicans (CYR'S) the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Independent Student Party (ISP), had displays at the gathering.
All three drew large crowds. In fact, it seemed at times the largest crowds in the second floor area were gathered around these booths.
Despite the much publicized "lack of interest" in the GOP national ticket, the CYR table was always crowded.
By the end of the evening, the group's supply of Nixon-Agnew campaign buttons and bumper stickers was almost gone.
A large number of students visited the table, bought CYR memberships, and left wearing Nixon buttons, suggesting there was some life in the GOP ticket.
The Republicans had no competition from KU's seldom active Young Democrats.
The competition came from the SDS table, which was almost directly adiacent.
SDS members, sporting long hair, blue jeans, and old army jackets, passed out literature on the draft, police brutality during the Democratic National convention, and other subjects.

Visiting Indian prof to instruct at university
Always the crowds were large, but as many students seemed to be looking for a good view of a real SDS-type hippie as in joining the group.
Several leaders of the closely associated ISP group were also in the general area.
In last spring's elections, ISP made some notable gains.
If it is not as powerful as the better-established University Party, it is certainly the more ambitious of the two.
It seems 1968 might prove to be an interesting political year at KU.
A former visiting professor at the University of California at Berkley and professor at Panjah University, India, will be a visiting professor at the University of Kansas this fall.
