Mothers Asked To Help Stop KC Girl Gang
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UPI) — Police juvenile officers today asked for mothers' help in breaking up a gang of teen-age girls who held homosexual parties at the apartment of a 23-year-old.
Maj. Doral Denison, head of the juvenile bureau, revealed yesterday that two teen-age high school girls had been arrested. He said they admitted they were part of a gang of at least 26 members.
He said seven other girls had been questioned, and they substantiated stories of unnatural sex activities in a girl's club known as "The Shirts," at Northeast High School.
Mr. Denison said the gang apparently was formed last October and broke up around the first of the year when one of the mothers threatened to expose the members. However, "some of the girls are still going together." Mr. Denison said.
The two girls who were arrested, aged 16 and 17, told officers the club had strict membership and initiation requirements. Some girls, they said, used the thrill drug, amphetamine and smoked "sweet tasting" cigarettes.
The girls told of beatings and cuttings with screwdrivers and razor blades for some of the girls who "get out of line."
Some of the girls used men's names, Mr. Denison said. The two arrested had close cropped hair and wore men's clothing.
'Civil War Statue Or Ceiling Repairs'
TOPEKA — (UPI) — The Republican-dominated Senate Ways and Means Committee called on Kansas Historical Society Secretary Nyle Miller to testify on Gov. George Docking's $5,000 budget request for a statue at Vicksburg, Miss.
Sec. Miller said the first Kansas regiment took part in the Civil War battle at Vicksburg, largely in a supporting role. Three Kansans were killed and five wounded.
Asked if the state should spend money for a memorial, Sec. Miller paused, then said:
"Well, I'm a Kansas booster and I do like to see us put our best foot forward. If it is a weed patch maybe it should be at least mowed."
A committee member then asked Sec. Miller if he would rather have the $5,000 for the Vicksburg memorial or $9,000 to fix the ceiling on your building?"
Sec. Miller didn't answer and the committee laughed.
Library Gives 384 Books to Asia Group
The University has sent 384 books to the Asia Foundation during the past two months.
The Asia Foundation, which sends books and periodicals abroad, received nearly 56,000 books and 9,000 periodicals during December from various sources.
A committee of seven library staff members obtained and sent the books to the foundation.
Dr. James B. Griffin, director of the museum of anthropology at the University of Michigan, will speak to the Kansas Society of American Archaeologists at 7:30 p.m. Monday on the first metal users of the Western Hemisphere. The meeting is open to the public.
Met Singer Here on 14th
The Feb. 14 Concert Course series featuring Giorgio Tozzi, Metropolitan Opera bass singer, has been postponed until May 5.
Mr. Tozzi underwent surgery this week in New York so will not be able to make the concert scheduled for the University Theater. Tickets already purchased for the performance can be used for the May 5 performance.
Mr. Tozzi has jumped quickly since his debut in 1955 from the status of "unknown" to a top rank performer. The New York Times wrote, "his artistic stature continues to grow. His dignity and ease on the stage and the warmth of his cultivated voice recalled to at least one listener memories of an earlier Guardiano, the late Ezio Pinza."
Chicago-born Tozzi has sung important orchestral engagements with major conductors, among them are Dimitri Mitropoulos and the New York Philharmonic, Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Orchestra, and with the San Francisco Opera prior to his regular Met season.
Students may present I.D. cards at the Fine Arts Office or the Kansas Union ticket center for reserved seats.
Students Expelled For Stealing Tests
At least two students were expelled from the University during final examination week after being caught stealing final examinations, it was learned today.
Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of students, said it was not the University policy to release any information on expulsion of students.

CONSTANCE SCHEERER STUDIO
VI 3-1137 — 1908 Alabama Street
Sounds Like Monkey 'Biz'
A "monkey saddle" that architecture students will build this semester may resemble the hyperbolic paraboloid which stood west of Marvin Hall several years ago.
Donald Dean, associate professor of civil engineering, said the structure will resemble a "valley where three mountains come together."
It will be constructed by joining sheets of plywood to form a continuous shell, he said. Sheet metal will then be glued to the wood.
The "saddle" is being constructed to test the strength and stability of latticed structures. Prof. Dean said.
Assisting in the study will be Willard Strode, co-director and associate professor of architecture engineering, William Duncan and Gerald Keltch, instructors of architecture.
Larry Larkin, Johnson County, and Ernest Carlson, Ellinwood, both graduate students will also assist in the construction.
The "monkey-saddle" will probably be finished this spring for the Engineering Exposition, Prof. Dean said.
