Architect Lecturing Here
An architect nationally known for his design of homes and buildings is a visiting lecturer at the School of Engineering and Architecture through December until the Christmas recess.
He is Bruce Goff, who is now practicing in Kansas City, Mo.
Goff is noted for designing buildings in Tulsa, Okla., in the Chicago area, and near Louisville, Ky. He has designed many unique houses. New York Times editor John Canady wrote, "A Goff house is planned as if such a thing as a house never existed."
Goff started his career in architecture quite young when he designed a house at the age of 12. He later designed the 14-story Tulsa Chamber of Commerce building and the Boston Avenue Methodist Church near downtown Tulsa.
He has taught at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts and was chairman of the School of Architecture at the University of Oklahoma for nine years. He operated his own architectural firm in Bartlesville, Okla., prior to moving to Kansas City.
'64 Legislature Summarized
A 95-page Citizen's Pamphlet summarizing the decisions of the 1964 budget and special sessions of the Kansas Legislature is now available from the Governmental Research Center.
The author, James T. McDonald, senior research analyst of the center, summarizes both legislation and resolutions passed and items introduced which failed to pass either from committee or on the floor.
In addition to the facts of the measures, McDonald summarizes the reasoning for or against as presented in debate.

Other nations represented are: two each from Mexico, Japan and Thailand; one each from Iraq, Belgium, Brazil, Indonesia, India, Australia, Argentina and Taiwan.
Profs to Attend MLA Meet
Four members of the KU English faculty will appear on the program of the 79th annual meeting of the Modern Language Association in New York City Dec. 27-29.
William P. Albrecht, dean of the Graduate School, will be a member of the advisory and nominating committee for the section that concentrates on the poet Wordsworth and his contemporaries. Charlton Hinman, professor of English, will be secretary for the section on bibliographical evidence.
Harold Orel, professor of English, will be discussion leader for a conference on relationships between literary and historical scholarship in Irish studies. Robert A. Georges, assistant professor of English, will give a paper on "The Function of Saints' Legends among American Immigrants" to the affiliated American Folklore Society.
Law Institute to Meet
Constitutional questions regarding the rights to legal advice for indigent persons in federal and state courts will be the subject of an Institute on Criminal Law in Topeka Jan. 15.
The program is being arranged by William M. Ferguson, Kansas attorney general, Paul E. Wilson, professor of law, and Marvin E. Thompson, an attorney at Russell.
The institute, a project of the Kansas Bar Association, KU Extension and School of Law, and the Washburn University School of Law. will be at the Holiday Inn South.
Decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court and new legislation have changed criminal law practice greatly from the time when most attorneys were in school.
New legislation covering payment of counsel for indigent defendants coupled with the proposal already prepared by the U.S. district judges in Kansas for appointment of attorneys to represent indigents make it likely that many attorneys with few criminal cases in the past will experience an increase.
ACTION ON most of the legislation passed by the Council began shortly after the meeting began when Mike Miner, Lawrence senior and ASC chairman, said, "Sit back and get ready. I think we are ready to proceed with some old business that has been hanging over our heads for quite a while."
ASC Passes
which receive funds from the ASC.
Miner was referring to 27 items of legislation which the Council had passed between Oct. 6, 1963, and May 12, 1964. It was not discovered until November that none of these bills had been presented to Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe for perusal as required in the ASC Constitution.
Members had passed six amendments individually when Roy Miller moved a suspension of the rules and moved the Council pass by a single vote all items except Bill No. 7, a human rights bill, and Bill No. 27, on special representatives to ASC.
Miner reminded the Council this was his position two weeks ago.
TJ. SNYDER, Independence senior (UP — fraternity) opposed the motion to pass the items en masse. Snyder said he would like to consider every item he was voting for and moved to table the motion by Miller.
"The reason we asked for these items to be printed and held over was to be able to consider them," Snyder said. "For this reason I would oppose any motion to pass them en masse."
Hugh Taylor, Stoke-on-Trent, England, graduate student (UP — graduate school) then said he opposed the motion to table the first motion. A tabbed motion could be considered at the next regular ASC meeting, Taylor said, in which case he would move for adjournment of the present meeting and convene the Council again within five minutes, thus constituting the next regular meeting.
THE COUNCIL, then opposed by voice vote the motion to table the motion, and passed by a 19 to 14 hand vote the motion to pass the bills en masse. One more vote was necessary — this time a voice vote passing the legislation, excluding bills No. 7 and 27, en masse.
Laylor then moved Bill No. 7 be struck from the Constitution and proposed a new bill to be put in its place.
The new bill is a revision of the ASC Human Rights bill which has been rewritten by Miner, Bob Stewart, Vancouver, B.C., senior and student body president, and Laurence C. Woodruff, Dean of Students and ASC advisor.
THROUGH THE BILL the Council declares itself "in favor of a peaceful and reasoned approach to equal rights in order that further advancement toward human dignity may be realized" and states that the ASC shall "seek to secure and maintain equal rights for all students and strive for equal opportunities in education, regardless of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, political belief, sex, or economic circumstances."
The bill then endorses practice.
and procedures which are currently in force as policies of the University. These include maintaining existing non-discriminatory policies in admissions, aids and awards, employment and pay scale, campus housing and boarding, and athletics.
This section of the bill constitutes an ASC endorsement of existing University policies, Miner and Stewart said.
THE THIRD CHAPTER of the bill states that the ASC will not support, either nominally or financially, any student function or organization which permits the discrimination against any student because of race, color or creed.
The bill states, "In the case of existing organizations which do discriminate in practice, the Human Rights Committee of the All Student Council should help these organizations make every reasonable effort to obtain elimination of such discriminatory practices as rapidly as possible. In the case of an organization whose constitution or by-laws require them to discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin, they shall be expected to eliminate these restrictions within the 1964-65 academic year."
The bill continues, "In the event that these organizations themselves have been unable to achieve the removal of these restrictions during this time, the All Student Council shall pursue one or a combination of the following courses of action: disenfranchisement, and/or restriction of social activities, and/or denial of participation in student government, organizations financially supported by student government, and/ or shall substitute any other action which they may deem appropriate."
