Radar Ears Decorate Hall
Radar units scan the ground area around Ellsworth Hall, but not to pick up male students creeping around after hours.
The purpose of the radar network, said John Rouse Jr., research coordinator, is to attempt to show a correlation between radar returns and seasonal variations, such as moisture changes, vegetation changes, and snow.
THE FIRST radar research study of its type at KU, the program is sponsored by the Center of Research Engineering Sciences, and is supported by the National Aeronautics Space Administration.
Two radar sets, one an airborne unit and the other from a ship, were installed atop Ellsworth this summer. Both are World War II models.
Unlike most radar setups, these two face the ground.
As Ellsworth is now a coed hall, the engineering department is looking for a girl qualified to run the equipment.

A 75-pound bronze sculpture of Napoleon Bonaparte has been delivered to the KU Museum of Art
Museum Adds Bust
The bust, cast in 1885 by Colombo, an Italian sculptor, was donated by Harry Darby, a wellknown, Kansas City, Kan., businessman.
This bust of the famous French general will be exhibited on the gifts panel after next Monday morning.
Bret Waller, museum curator, said this art piece is an excellent example of the 19th century romantic idea of Bonaparte. He also remarked that the gift has great importance because 1965 marks the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo.
After 10 or 15 days, the bust will go to the 19th Century Gallery on the second floor of the museum.
Japanese Students Plan Dances, Songs
A parade of entertainment will be presented by the Japanese-American Club Friday at 8 p.m. in the Kansas Union.
About 15 Japanese students will offer traditional dances and songs of their country, in the first of many international events programmed for the current semester. A movie will also be shown and refreshments will be served.
Stadium Policy Means End to Ticket Scalping
By Stephen Russell
A new procedure for admitting students to KU football games will go into effect this Saturday, according to T. J. Snyder, Independence, Mo., first-year law student.
Snyder, head of the ASC Athletic Seating Board, said that besides student tickets, students will also be required to present their permanent student identification card and their imprinted registration card to gain admittance to the game.
Another new policy has been adopted, which according to Snyder will allow students to give their student tickets away legally for the first time.
STUDENTS WHO WISH to exchange their tickets should take them and their student identification card to Allen Field House on the Thursday preceding the game for which they want the tickets exchanged. Upon presentation, the
ticket will be marked "exchange" and then must be presented with the student identification of the original owner of the ticket at the gate for admission. Snyder added there will be no charge to exchange a ticket and the student identification card will be the only identification asked for unless the officials anticipate trouble.
Students will not be able to enter their section from the track in front of the stands as in past years, Snyder said. They must enter the section marked on their ticket directly through the outside gates. He warned that all complaints of students sitting in the wrong section will be handled promptly as this is in direct violation of ASC Bill Number 11 on Athletic Seating.
He also warned students that by bringing alcohol into the stadium they are violating a State Statute which prohibits the drinking of alcohol upon property owned by
the state. Students caught breaking this law will be prosecuted by the state. Snvder added.
SNYDER SAID that this is the first year that seniors have had first choice of tickets. All seniors that registered for tickets last semester will be sitting on the 30-yard line or better. In descending order after the seniors will be graduate students, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen.
Admittance of students to varsity basketball games will also be changed this year, Snyder said, with the issuing of general admission tickets. These will probably be exchangeable in the same manner as football tickets, he added.
Snyder mentioned that the University Athletic Department has been very cooperative with the ASC Athletic Seating Board in helping them see to it that all students are treated fairly in regards to admission to University athletic events.

New Committee Seeks Peace in Viet Nam
Thursday, Sept. 23, 1965
A new campus organization, the KU Committee to End the War in Viet Nam, was born last night when a steering committee of faculty and students met in the Kansas Union.
According to a statement issued at the close of the meeting, the purpose of the organization is "to provide a nucleus for the channeling of student and faculty opposition to the U.S. policies in Viet Nam."
The statement emphasized that activities of the group would rest primarily on educational programs. "Teach-ins, confrontation with members of Congress, and inviting well-known speakers to campus" were listed as possibilities.
ONE MEMBER noted that a temporary student-faculty group, headed by Errol Harris, professor of philosophy, has already made
plans to obtain tape recordings of an international teach-in on Viet Nam held in Toronto on Oct. 9.
"The war in Viet Nam is the most crucial issue confronting the American public. Therefore it is vital that the dialog be extended to as many people as possible if this country is to function as a democracy," Richard Hill, Lawrence junior, said.

J-School Counts Record Number At Enrollment
Journalism students, like most other KU students, will be going to classes this fall in crowded rooms because of increased enrollment in the school of journalism.
The total enrollment for the fall semester is approximately 148 students, up 31 from last year and up 25 from the spring semester of last year.
According to Calder M. Pickett, acting dean of the School of Journalism, this increase is especially evident in such "weather-vane" classes as Elements of Advertising.
Reporting I, another beginning course, has an enrollment of 82, an increase of about 40 from last year.
Pickett said that enrollment was greater also in upperclass courses such as Law of the Press and History of American Journalism. The latter class has approximately 12 more students than in previous years.
KU Jurist Named Nation's Law 'Graduate of the Year'
By Maury Breecher
The National order of Phi Delta Phi, a professional law fraternity, has awarded John Hoffman Johntz, their national title of Graduate of the Year.
Johntz, a 1965 KU law graduate, was chosen from a semi-finalist field of 15 outstanding graduate members of the national fraternity. He became the first graduate of KU's law school to receive this honor. He was also the first straight-A student in the entire 74 year history of the school of law.
BESIDES BEING the school of law's first straight- A student in 74 years, Johntz was editor-in-chief of the Kansas Law Review, 1964-65 and had been a member of the board since 1962. Johntz was KU's representative to the national conference of law reviews in 1964, and became a member of the planning committee and seminar chairman.
John Johntz won awards throughout his years at KU's law school. He won the Order of Coif, which was a William L. Burdick prize for being the top member of the first year class, and as one of the two outstanding second year students, he won the Petefish Postma prize.
Johntz was voted outstanding senior by the law school faculty and won the Stewart Award.
James K. Logan, KU law school dean, said of Johntz, "If there is any person in the United States graduating from law school this year who has outperformed 'Topper' Johntz, I would like to meet him."
JOHNTZ'S undergraduate record was just as dazzling. He received his bachelor of arts degree from Harvard in 1959. He had ranked in the upper quarter of one per cent of his class with a 2.9 scholastic average.
He was Phi Beta Kappa his junior year. He held a Harvard National Scholarship, a Harvard College scholarship, and a John Harvard scholarship during his undergraduate years.
JOHNTZ HAD ANOTHER side also. He was the Harvard intramural wrestling champion, 1957- 58. He was also captain of the Harvard freshman cross-country and football teams.
In Harvard's NROTC, he was an executive officer and holder of a NROTC scholarship. He was commissioned Ensign 2nd class in 1959.
Johntz was a research assistant for the Kansas attorney general's office.
