Young Democrats Seek End To Kansas Death Sentence
An end to capital punishment in Kansas was proposed in a resolution passed Tuesday night by the KU-Collegiate Young Democrats. The resolution was among three passed by the political club
Supporters of the resolution, which would abolish the death sentence, said the death sentence has not been shown to be an effective deterrent to crime. Kansas executed one-fourth of all persons put to death for crime in the U.S. last year, CYD members said.
Another resolution passed Tuesday sought the adoption of fair housing codes by the state legislature.
A THIRD RESOLUTION, advocating repeal of Section 14-B of the Taft-Hartley Act, was tabled because members felt the club should not pass judgment on national issues. Section 14-B concerns "Right-to-Work" laws in the various states.
Only one resolution involved local issues.
The KU-CYDs voted to support the Douglas County Young Democrats in their bid to get the State Young Democratic convention to Lawrence. The support, given in the form of a motion, was carried by a large majority vote.
"It will be a boon to our area
and give the YDs and CYDs here both inspiration and an opportunity to show the opposition a successful Democratic convention." Albert Hicks, president of the Douglas County YD club and president of the Douglas Country Democratic Club, said.
IF WILL TAKE the cooperation of the members of the KU-CYDs and Douglas County YDs to set up the convention if it does come to Lawrence, Hicks said.
A request that the KU-CYDs support and attend the Kansas CYD convention Saturday in Cedar Vale, was made at the meeting by John Taylor, junior Democratic national committeeman.
The convention, one of five yearly meetings of all the major CYD clubs in Kansas, will probably support the Johnson program and the new programs opening under the "Great Society." Taylor said.
Several resolutions, including one extending the term of executive officers of the state organization to two years are expected to be made. Taylor said.
CARL ALBERT. Democrat and United States Representative from Oklahoma, will be the featured speaker at the Saturday night banquet of the Cedar Vale convention.
Campanile Concert Has Student Touch
This evening's concert on the Memorial Carillon will have a slightly different touch as two KU juniors will replace the regular carillonneur for the evening's recital at 7 p.m.
Jeanne Ellen Myers. Iola junior and music therapy major, will play the first half of the program.
Carl O. Bangs III, Prairie Village junior major in Greek, will play the final three numbers. Bangs recently returned to KU after six months of study at the Mechelen Carillon School, in Mechelen, Belgium.
Miss Myers and Bangs are students of Albert Gerken, University carillonneur.
Although the S3 bell carillon is classed as a keyboard instrument, Miss Myers and Bangs will be facing a keyboard that would baffle a pianist. The carillon "keys" are larger and more wide-ly spaced and each actually is a wooden baton.
The carillonneur applies "touch" by striking the baton with the side of a closed band or with the crook of a finger.
Almost all music must be arranged specially for carillon. Each bell produces five tones—the fundamental or strike note and four harmonies of overtones. Because of this multiplicity of tones the carillonneur must score his arrangement to unwanted discords.
The KU-CYD club will send an open delegation to the convention, with the entire delegation entitled to eight votes, George Groneman, Kansas City senior and president of the KU-CYD club, said.
