PRESS CONFERENCE
Provost tells KU plans
(Editor's Note—Starting Tuesday, The Kansan began a series of press conferences with the administration, which will be held Tuesdays. The following is a report on the major points covered.)
One of the new buildings planned for KU is the humanities building which will be erected on the present sight of Haworth and Robinson.
Speculation about the building has placed as many as 29 stories in the structure. Provost James R. Surface, who met with the staff of reporters, said although the building will be bigger than most on campus, 29 stories is too many.
The Provost pointed out that final plans are not yet completed for the building, which is to be built in two parts. The basic idea is to have the main structure four or five stories high. Then a tower or needle will eject from the building to a height of from 14 to 26 stories.
THE FIRST HALF of the building will be built some time next year after Old Robinson Gymnasium is torn down. The second half will become reality after a new life science building is constructed to house what is now in Haworth.
Also on the construction agenda is a new home for the KU School of Law. Provost Surface stated that a new location is being sought for the structure, which is to be financed through the Program for Progress.
The new building will be built between Malott and Summerfield balls.
At this time four locations are being considered, according to the Provost. A decision will be made by the planning committee sometime in the future.

Turning to the Centennial College, which is in the first year of experimentation, Provost Surface pointed out the uniqueness of this program.
Finger,palm prints aid in Percy case
CHICAGO—(UPI)—Four fingerprints and six palm prints may be the best clues obtained so far in the search for the slayer of Valerie Percy, investigators said today.
Police Chief Robert M. Daley of suburban Kenilworth said investigators also were studying a combination address book and diary found in the bedroom of the Percy mansion where Valerie was killed.

UN debates Viet policy
UNITED NATIONS-(UPI)—Viet Nam, the decision on Secretary General U Thant's future and money matters emerged strongly today as the dominant issues of the 21st General Assembly session.
Italian Foreign Minister Aminotore Fanfani, outgoing president, pinpointed the three issues in his farewell address Tuesday before the assembly chose Abdul Rahman Pazhwak of Afghanistan as his successor at its opening meeting.
THE ASSEMBLY also elected Guyana, the former South American colony of British Guiana its 119th member. Indonesia, which has signified its intention of ending its 19-month absence later in the session, still technically is the 118th.
The assembly's chief business today was a state speech at 2:30 p.m., by President Ferdinand E. Marcos of the Philippines, the only head of state among the 77 top government officials scheduled to attend this session.
The assembly scheduled a morning meeting to elect the 18 vice presidents for the session. The meeting was to start at 9:30 a.m.
These, with the president and the chairman chosen Tuesday for the seven main committees, constitute the general, or steering, committee, which guides the assembly's work.

Grieving family friends and political figures paid their final respects to the dead girl Tuesday in memorial services at the Kenilworth Union Church.
Police have questioned 77 persons. Among them was a cab-driver who said he picked up a fare resembling police sketches of a "cat burglar" sought for questioning.
THE CABBIE, Leo Yancy, 44,
said the man got into his cab at
Belmont and Halsted Streets on
Chicago's north side about 4 a.m.
and asked to be driven to Glencoe,
a suburb about three miles
north of the Percy residence.
The Kenilworth police chief and Lt. Nicholas Juric of the Cook County state's attorney's police indicated a break might come from the Chicago police crime laboratory's analysis of the finger and palm prints.
He said somewhat similar programs are being conducted at Michigan and Michigan State Universities, but the personal touch which KU's program has is lacking there.
IF PLANS progress without any hitches, and the college does not meet any stumbling blocks, the Provost said that KU students can expect four such programs next year.
He pointed out that very few freshmen have asked to withdraw from the program. One such college freshman did not care for the togetherness planned in the new program. He was a 33-year-old ex-Marine who has just returned from Viet Nam.

As a final note Provost Surface mentioned that New Fraser should be ready for classes in the spring semester. Construction was delayed slightly this summer when the stone trimming for the building could not be obtained.
The quarry which was supplying the trim had only two stone-cutters who could prepare the stone. Both went on vacation at the same time in August.
Surveyor 2 failure seen
PASADENA, Calif. — (UPI)—America's Surveyor 2 mooncraft whirled violently toward its destruction today as scientists failed in attempts to halt the tumbling that would splatter the picture-taking robot on the lunar surface.
The spacecraft began its wild tumbling Tuesday night when one of three steering engines failed to fire during a correctional maneuver. Two additional attempts to fire the errant engine in an effort to stop the tumbling also ended in failure early today.
Scientists and project engineers here planned a meeting later today to study what further action might be taken to stabilize the craft and, if it cannot be stabilized, what the alternate program would be until Surveyor reached the moon.

U.S.S.R. calls for U.S. policy condemnation
- West Campus Automatic Computer
UNITED NATIONS — (UPI)— The Soviet Union jumped the gun today and called on the United Nations to condemn United States policy in Viet Nam.
Without waiting for the traditional policy speech by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, Russia made the demand in an editorial in the official government newspaper, Izvestia.
At the same time, 10 Communist countries requested that the question of withdrawal of all U.S. and other foreign forces from South Korea be placed on the agenda. They also demanded the dissolution of U.N. machinery in Korea.
It said the U.N. delegations must not be deceived by any American use of the United Nations to launch another Vietnamese peace offensive and repeated its charges, the only reason for
the crisis is U.S. violation of the 1954 Geneva agreements.
Three dominant issues, Viet Nam, the decision on Secretary General Thant's future and money matters, were emerging as the dominant issues of the 21st General Assembly session.

There's more than fabric superiority in Gant. In addition, "needled-into the warp and woof of every Gant shirt" — there's flair-fit show — three vital Inherents that make all the difference when a man wears a Gant.
We chose Gant because they take shirt making seriously. They're hard to please (like we are) when it comes to fit of collar, its roll, its profile—how much it shows above the suit collar. They're fastidious about the way the body of the shirt drapes and folds. All must integrate to achieve that viable ingredient which gives comfort and aplomb. In substance, Gant shirts are keyed to the discerning tastes of well groomed men who appreciate quality. These men are our customers.
