Basketball Refund To Cease Thursday
The final day for basketball ticket refunds is Thursday, Jan. 6, Ticket money will be refunded from 8:30 to 12 noon and from 1:30-4:30 p.m. at Allen Field House.
Students must present their KU-ID cards, fall certificate of registration, and basketball season tickets.
The ticket refund was the result of the Athletic Board's Dec. 6 announcement that it was revoking its recommendation of April 13, 1965, to place a charge on student admission to KU intercollegiate basketball games. The Student Athletic Seating Board notified the Athletic Board and the Athletic Department, Dec. 6, of its compliance with a Student Court order, Dec. 4.
Pacifists Plan Viet Debate Cong and English Movies
President Johnson's peace offensive and other Viet Nam developments were discussed by the KU Committee to End the War in Viet Nam at its meeting Tuesday. The group also planned pacifist activities for next semester.
The members discussed the sincerity of the President's peace offensive; however, they reached no conclusion on just how sincere they thought it was.
A member of the organization said no one would be happier than the committee if the administration's negotiations are sincerely designed to bring peace in Viet Nam.
The KU committee plans to sponsor a debate next semester on U.S. involvement in the war.
The stated purpose would be to help develop a free interplay of ideas on the Viet Nam question.
Richard Hill, Lawrence junior and committee chairman, said, "It is hoped that students and faculty will participate in such a debate."
Two movies, "Heroic Vietnam," produced by the Viet Cong, and "Viet Nam," by Wilford Burchett, English journalist, are also scheduled to be shown next semester.
