KU may spawn humanist group
In a quiet yellow and cream breakfast nook, five people sat to a simple supper and a complex discussion. The supper was beef and noodles, string beans and toast. The discussion concerned the Humanists Committee, a group these five hope to start here.
Dean Abel, Student Peace Union president and Michigan City, Ind., graduate student, sipped iced tea and said, "It (the Humanists Committee) doesn't really exist yet . . . having Ehrenreich come and talk is a good chance to have people find out what Humanists think."
Gerald A. Ehrenreich, associate professor of clinical psychology, filed suit Tuesday in U.S. District Court to test the constitutionality of the loyalty oath required of state employees. The date of his proposed talk is not definite.
Don Olson, Lawrence junior, whose current private project is printing bumper stickers commanding "Fire Donald Alderson" said that five members of the Humanist Student Union of North America could establish a chapter.
Future guest speakers include Rev. Tom Woodward, Episcopal chaplain on campus, and John Simmons of the United Campus Christian Fellowship.
As Olson finished the dinner prepared by Zoe, his wife, he said that the organization would "allow for activities that a lot of other groups don't offer." The group, with Howard Kahane, assistant professor of philosophy, as proposed faculty advisor, would, according to Olson, concern ethics, sexual and social mores, but not limit itself to those topics.
"Unlike the older national group," Olson said, "We'll grow
out of being an ethical debating society. We feel more radial."
When the dinner was finished, Mrs. Olson washed dishes, and Roger Alexander, Wichita junior, poured a soft drink for himself and Gus di Zerega, Wichita sophomore and Young Americans for Freedom president.
Abel was saying, "Too many in college reject the old standards and don't have a new set of values . . . (they) become truly amoral, need a reaffirmation of values."
ROTATING OFFICERS
Students for a Democratic Society will consider a revised constitution and new organizational order for their chapter at the group's first meeting tonight at 7:30 in the Cottonwood Room of the Kansas Union.
SDS to revise charter
Because all officers elected last spring, except the secretary, have resigned, Don Olson, LaMesa, Calif., junior and immediate past president, expects to preside at the meeting if the membership agrees, initiating the system of rotating the chair at each meeting.
OLSON SAID the officers elected last spring—himself as president, Neal Stone, Shawnee Mission sophomore as vice-president, and Carla Nelson, Lawrence senior as secretary-treasurer—felt the organization would function more effectively without pressure on individual members from officers.
During the summer, Miss Nelson and Mrs. Don Olson functioned as co-chairman of the organization.
Strong takes on new look
A new look for second floor Strong Hall is among changes made by builders on campus last summer.
To provide more space for the office of the Chancellor, the hall in the east wing has been closed off and devoted to office space. A ceiling-high glass partition closes

the end next to the rotunda, and the east end is closed off with a paneled wall and two bulletin boards. A door in the partition is labeled "Office Area. Exit Only."
Between 300 and 500 students are attending KU on GI student loans and aid according to estimates released by the KU Veterans' Service.
500 vets here
Commonly known as the GI Bill, this legislation is designed to provide assistance to veterans and some dependents of veterans in the form of loans and/or stipends.
The enlarged office is divided by partitions of wood paneling, and carpeting and a fresh coat of paint have been added.
The Veterans' Service reminds all vets and other students on the GI Bill to register this week in 134 Strong Hall whether or not they went to summer school.
Seven other topics are included in the meeting's agenda.
Roger Alexander, Wichita junior, will give a semi-formal presentation of the national SDS internal education program, "Radical Education Project."
Olson said he believes that individual enthusiasm for the organization would cause the chapter to accomplish more than pushing of ideas by the chapter's administrators.
THE POLITICAL and social significance of "MacBird," a recently-published satire by Barbara Garson, will be discussed.

Gus diZerega, Wichita sophomore, will present "Kandide," a statewide magazine, and encourage critical discussion and contributions.
Offices of the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women have also been rearranged and remodeled. Part of the work was routine repainting, Clayton Stone, plant analyst, said. Some partitions were also rearranged, he said.
Ideas for chapter projects will be discussed. Olson said the issue
Stone said all the work was completed, but some of the new furniture has not arrived yet and is expected this week.

"comes down to whether students should take care of their own lives."
THE MEMBERSHIP will try to decide, he said, whether the SDS should work through electoral politics or through other means, such as a student union, to accomplish their goals.
Students are also consulting the manuscript of the questionnaire and subsequent conversation in order to write articles for publication.

"WELCOME BACK TO KU"
"Stands to reason that a life insurance policy designed expressly for college men—and sold only to college men—gives you the most benefits for your money when you consider that college men are preferred insurance risks. Call me and I'll fill you in on THE BENEFACTOR, College Life's famous policy, exclusively for college men."
