Pi Beta Phi Wins Land Fight Round
By LARRY BOSTON
(Assistant Managing Editor of The Daily Kansan)
Pi Beta Phi social sorority, with the aid of the Lawrence City Commission, Tuesday won another skirmish in its battle to find building space for a new chapter house.
The sorority, seeking to build a new chapter house on 15th Street northwest of Allen Field House, has met with firm resistance from residents in the area.
Thirty-nine residents recently signed a petition presented to the city planning committee, asking that the sorority not be allowed to build in the area. A report by the planning committee to the City Commission recommended that the sorority not be granted a building permit.
The commissioners' room in City Hall was packed with Lawrence residents and embattled Pi Phis when the commission met Tuesday. Here's what happened:
1. The planning committee's report was not approved. A motion by City Commissioner Russ Mosser that the report be approved failed to receive a second from any of the other four commissioners.
2. The commission then voted, 4-1, to instruct the city attorney to draw up a new ordinance, allowing a rezoning of the residential area in question.
Such a rezoning would change the area from its present zone A status (single-family dwellings) to zone C (multi-use dwellings).
Included in the membership of the 7-man planning committee which unanimously voted to leave the residential zoning unchanged were Dr. Francis Heller, associate dean of the College, and Ed Bishop, an employee of the University Press.
Band Gets Bid To World's Fair
The 100-piece KU concert band has received an invitation from the Department of State to go to the Brussels World's Fair, but don't get excited. The band is staying home because of a lack of funds.
The letter from the Department of State was received about two weeks ago by Russell L. Wiley, professor of band, but the decision to pass up the trip was not made until Tuesday.
Prof. Wiley said the letter indicated that since the department's funds for the fair had been cut, most of the cost of the trip would be up to KU. He said the trip would have cost KU about $80,000.
If the band had gone, Prof. Wiley said, it would have spent about 10 days at the fair. "The plans never reached that point." he said.
Prof. Wiley said he had talked with University officials, but the money seemed an insurmountable problem.

law student, explained the banquets run at a deficit due to the large number of complimentary tickets given out.
Ott then presented a motion that the ASC appropriate the money to meet the expected deficit.
Dick Patterson, Kansas City, Mo. junior, ASC chairman, ruled Ott's motion out of order.
Sharon Dye, Wichita senior, ASC treasurer, objected that the council had no authority for the appropriation under the present ASC constitution. Under present rules, she said, the banquet is classed as an "educational or public relations function," and its money requests must be sent to the chancellor.
Later, Ott presented a second motion, that the Finance and Auditing Committee meet with the executive secretary and the dean of students to consider reclassifying the SBA. Ott said this would determine whether the SBA could get the money from the ASC or would have to raise it elsewhere.
Voice Vote Passes Motion
A move by Brooks Becker, Emporia graduate student, to table Ott's motion was defeated, and Ott's motion was passed by voice vote.
The council heard the first reading of a proposed amendment to the constitution which provides that no ASC vacancies occurring within eight weeks before general elections will be filled before the next election.
This amendment, like the 1-year ASC membership rule held unconstitutional by the Student Court, is designed to prevent "packing" candidates for student body president by campus political parties prior to elections, and to insure that candidates have some knowledge of student government functions.
Bob Billings, Russell junior, student body president, presented his report to the council. In the report, Billings covered the activities of the ASC through the school year. He questioned the necessity for student members on some student-faculty committees, saying the students had no actual voice in the proceedings.
Billings announced the ASC's "Little Hoover" committee would meet at 7:15 p.m. Thursday in the ASC office. All council members may attend.
Council teams were named for "Know Your ASC Week." The teams will visit organized houses to explain the functions and duties of the ASC.
Reports On Government Week
Patterson reported on progress in government week preparations. He said faculty members would receive notices from the administration urging their attendance at the forum and panel discussion, and requesting the faculty to tell students about government week.
Featured speaker at the forum will be the president of Kansas State College. Dr. James A. McCain.
'Little Hoovers' Will Meet
The council also heard a progress report on the College intermediary board of the Curriculum Committee, and the first reading of a bill to drop the Student Community Lecture Committee, which no longer actually exists, from the constitution.
The council approved a $190 appropriation for dues to the National Student Association, and requested the Publications Committee to investigate Squat, campus humor magazine.
