Coed dies, date ill, as gas fumes fill car
By JAY COOPER
A study break Friday night resulted in death to a KU coed Mary Michael Brandon.
The preliminary cause of death and injury was asphyxiation by exhaust fumes according to Douglas County Sheriff Rex Johnson.
Miss Brandon, Wellington sophomore, and Mike Ross Hill, Shawnee Mission junior, were parked in a car with the motor running.
THE TIME OF DEATH was recorded as sometime after midnight Friday night. The couple was found at 11:30 Saturday morning by a private security patrolman, approximately three-quarters of a mile west of 23rd and Iowa streets.
MISS BRANDON was a member of Chi Omega sorority, production director of Rock Chalk activities for them and a member of the academic honors program at KU.
A memorail scholarship fund is being set up for "Mike" through Chi Omega by request of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Barry Brandon of Wellington.
AAUP issues survey
Profs to query oath
By BETSY WRIGHT
KU faculty members are getting the chance to express their opinions on the required state loyalty oath through the American Associations of University Professors (AAUP).
Marston McCluggage, professor of sociology and human relations, and president of the Kansas Chapter of the AAUP, said the external affairs committee of the faculty organization has issued surveys on the oath to all faculty members from instructor through professor.

The survey contains a statement of what the law says, and the faculty is given three alternatives to choose from the law is necessary; not necessary but not objectionable; and objectionable.
A crutch shortage is crippling Watkins Memorial Hospital,
Hospital director Dr. Raymond Schwegler said, "We're having a problem getting our crutches back. We're being obliged to charge a deposit. We don't want the money. We want the crutches."
DR. SCHWEGLER said the loss of crutches costs time and money and causes inconvenience. It takes about six weeks to accept and award bids for crutches and purchase and receive a new crutch shipment. In the meantime, the hospital has to hobble along with a minimum of crutches.
KU hospital needs crutch
The doctor is now offering to sell crutches to living groups at cost. He said if groups wanted to keep a pair of crutches on hand for their members it could be arranged. They cost about $6 a pair.
"We don't want the money." he said again. "We just want the crutches."
MURIEL JOHNSON, associate professor of human development and AAUP secretary, said: "The survey is an attempt to find out on a more accurate basis what the faculty thinks of the statute and the loyalty oath which it contains."
The fund is being divided in lieu of flowers. Donations are to be sent to Chi Omega sorority, 1345 West Campus road.
The survey started at the end of last week. "Replies are still coming in." Johnson said. Results will not be published until the AAUP executive committee has met.
At a dinner meeting Wednesday night, AAUP members will vote on a suggested press release defending the right of university professors to "challenge any law by legally constituted means as do all citizens."
FACULTY PROTEST last spring brought a promise that the ruling, issued by Roy Shapiro, state comptroller, would be rescinded by June 1. Shapiro said that he issued the mandate at the request of the Kansas Civil Rights Commission.

secure abandonment of the order, discovered in late October that the racial coding was still in practice. The ad hoc committee, together with representatives of the AAUP, approached Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe with their findings. Wescoe suggested that the professors take their complaint to the Civil Rights Commission.
SERVICES FOR Miss Brandon will be at 10:30 tomorrow morning in Wellington at the Presbyterian church.
Sheriff Johnson cautioned students to be aware of the possibilities of asphyxiation and to take precautions against this.
E. P. Moomau, Chief of KU Traffic and Security, said that rolling a window down or parking the car facing into the wind so fumes are blown away from the car is advisable.
