Student Court Order Rejected by Officials
Three KU students were refused admittance to last night's basketball game, on presentation of their Student ID cards, current fee receipt, and a Student Court Order which stated "that admission shall be allowed on presentation of KU ID cards accompanied by a current fee receipt."
The students: Gary D. Hanna, Wichita third-year law student, Melvin A. Saferstein, St. Joseph, Mo., third-year law student, and John Foulston, Wichita third-year law student, presented the Student Court Order to Monte C. Johnson, Assistant Director of the Athletic Department.
THE COURT ORDER was to remain in effect until Saturday, when the Student Court is scheduled to hold a hearing to determine the legality of the sale of Student Season Basketball Tickets.
Professor Charles Oldfather, Chairman of the Athletic Seating Board, said the students were denied
admission to the game by Johnson, since the Student Court does not have any jurisdiction over the Athletic Department or the Athletic Seating Board.
"The Student Court has jurisdiction only over the Student Athletic Seating Board and thus can order the student board, if this is the decision made at the Hearing, to urge the Athletic Seating Board to allow students to enter the games on their ID cards and fee receipts.
"AFTER THE Student Court reaches its decision," Oldfather said, "the Athletic Seating Board will consider their conclusion and then reach a decision as to whether the money from the sale of Student Season Basketball tickets will be refunded."
Melvin Saferstein, one of the students denied admittance and a plaintiff in the case before the Student Court said, "It is my understanding that 11 dollars of
our fees goes to the Athletic Department. Six dollars goes in the Fall and five dollars in the Spring. This added to the five dollars for football season tickets and four dollars for basketball season tickets would come to 20 dollars."
Gary Hanna, another of the plaintiffs added, "This 11 dollars of hidden fees plus nine dollars of other fees seems outrageous."
THESE STUDENTS along with Barry A. Bennington, Cheney second-year law student, are the plaintiffs in the case now pending before the Student Court. They are seeking to prove the Student Athletic Seating Board violated ASC Bills 1 and 11 by establishing a seating plan without the express consent of the ASC. They are also seeking to prove that this Student Board has violated the contractual rights between the University and the KU student.

Law School Fees Jump $50 Higher
It will cost fifty dollars more per semester for students to attend KU Law School starting in September of 1966.
This was the decision of the Board of Regents last week following the unanimous recommendation of the KU Law School faculty.
James K. Logan, dean of the law school said, "The measure was needed and enables the school to have truly competitive salaries and makes KU less subject to raiding by others in the country."
Dean Logan stressed that the measure was needed to bring a realistic salary scale to the KU Law School. He said it is "a really great step," as significant to the Law School as the erection of the new Law building.
On the subject of "raiding" of the Law School's faculty by other schools, he said, "Half of our staff received offers of more money last year from other prestigious law schools. Three members of our faculty have already been approached this year."
Dean Logan also said KU's Law School has been rated as not only the best in the Big Eight, but in this entire geographic region. It also has the lowest average law school salaries in the Big Eight.
In a notice to all law students explaining the measure, Dean Logan stated, "We have retained our excellent faculty partly on their hopes for the future."
Last year the University of Oklahoma, a Big Eight school, raised its law school fees about the same per cent as KU's Law School will be raised by the additional money.
The increased fee for KU's law students will go into effect next September depending on the approval of the State Legislature.
The majority of KU's law students approved of the increase feeling that it is worth keeping the best of KU's Law School faculty.
