SPU to Protest U.S. Draft Laws
A nation-wide demonstration against present draft laws and U.S. involvement in Viet Nam will be felt in Lawrence this Saturday, as the KU Student Peace Union stages a protest in front of the Lawrence Selective Service office, $ 927\frac{1}{2} $ Massachusetts.
"KU-SPU feels that draft laws should be reviewed for several reasons, including increases in draft calls, change of student status, and campaign promises by both candidates in the last Presidential election," James McAuley, public spokesman for the group, said.
"THE PURPOSE of the demonstration is to inform Lawrence citizens, particularly students, of the facts pertinent to this issue," McAuley stated.
The picket, lasting from 9 a.m. until noon, is being planned as a response to the "International Days of Protest," established by the National Coordinating Committee to End the War in Viet Nam.
Similar protests are expected to take place Saturday in at least 60 U.S. cities, including a massive "parade" demonstration down Fifth Avenue in New York City.
Dylan Thomas Work Will Be Read by SUA
The reading of Dylan Thomas's poetry will mark the opening session of this season's SUA Poetry Hour which will be held at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in the Music Room of the Kansas Union.
Natalie Calderwood, associate professor of English at KU, will read selections from the tragic poet's works, according to Elizabeth Ranney, Wichita sophomore and Poetry Hours committee chairman.
MISS RANNEY FELT that Mrs. Calderwood was an excellent selection for the readings and added "She's (Mrs. Calderwood) really enthusiastic."
The Welsh-born Thomas, suffering from a cerebral ailment, died November 9, 1953, at the age
of 39 in New York City. He had been reading his poetry at universities throughout the U.S. Thomas had very little money at his death and a fund was raised to send his body back to Wales for burial.
Some of Thomas' most widely read works are "Under Milk Wood" and "Adventures in the Skin Trade, and Other Stories." No admission will be charged for the reading and free coffee will be served.
