The 1965 National Educational Television production of "Southeast Asia: the Other War" was shown during the final hour. It was the longest and most interpretive film of the afternoon. The report was filmed in Southeast Asia and included interviews with Southeast Asian leaders and American officials.
THE EMPHASIS, as depicted in the title of the film, is on the other war which the United States should be preparing for elsewhere in Southeast Asia-Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Burma. The report brought out that the Viet Nam war is a people's war, not a military war. The U.S. can better prepare for other such wars by acknowledging the mistakes it has made in trying to reach the people of South Viet Nam.

Ticket Refund Elates Students
Reactions both pro and con were expressed by KU students last night following yesterday's announcement by the Athletic Department to revoke the $4 charge on student season basketball tickets.
All Student Council Chairman, Mike Mnally, Bartlesville, Okla., junior, said he was very happy to see the Athletic Department withdraw the fee.
McNally said he believes, after reviewing the entire situation, that it proved the ASC's capability to give to the students the power to accomplish what they want, and also that the administration at KU does have confidence in the ASC.
HE POINTED OUT that the final authority on student athletic seating rests with the Athletic Department. "They (Athletic Department) followed our (ASC's) recommendation from last spring, and placed the $4 charge on the student season basketball tickets. Then when we asked them to withdraw the charge after receiving the Student Court's decision on the fee card issue, they again followed our recommendation."
Weather
The U.S. Weather Bureau predicts mostly fair and continued mild weather through Thursday. Southwesterly winds will be 10 to 20 miles per hour today and the high will be 60 to 65 degrees. The low tonight will be 30 to 35.
McNally said the difference over the fee demonstrated the feasibility of the system of checks and balances between the branches of KU's student government.
Whether the statement on the back of the fee card was a legal contract which had been violated by the Student Athletic Seating Board and whether the SASB had followed ASC procedure in getting "express consent" from the ASC to submit the resolution to the Athletic Department were legal questions which had to be decided by the Student Court, he said.
"THE STUDENT COURT had the jurisdiction and they acted for the benefit of the students," McNally said.
As for the future, McNally said he feels the proceedings have brought out that the students are in favor of a stadium expansion. He said implementing of the stadium expansion program will be continued.
McNally said, however, that an unfortunate mistake was made in issuing the fee cards with the statement concerning admission to basketball games printed on the back.
"IT WAS AN oversight, on whose part I don't know," he said.
Tom Snyder, Independence first-year law student, who was chairman of the SASB until his term on the council expired last week, said he was disappointed in the Athletic Department's decision because he felt they, possibly, didn't wait long enough to weigh student opinion.
FREE ADMISSION - A Pinkerton guard punches a KU student's ID before Tuesday night's basketball game. This was the first game to which students were admitted free.
The $4.00 they paid for season tickets will be refunded soon, according to Wade Stinson, athletic director.
"I still don't believe the majority of students wanted this refund, or thought they were being cheated," he said.
In reference to the statement on the back of the fee card, Snyder said he didn't think it was a contract.
He said when the Athletic Seating Board met October 21 to set the price on the basketball tickets with the stadium expansion in mind, nothing was said about the contract on the card.
He said key members of the administration were aware of the statement before the price was set, but evidently they didn't think it was a contract.
"IF THE administration had just come out with a statement that the card was accidentally wrong because of the ASC resolution passed last spring... But they didn't make it," Snyder said.
