Kennedy Library Drive To Collect Funds Monday
Next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday students will have the opportunity to contribute money for a special student-given room in the Kennedy National Library.
Members of the All Student Council, Interfraternity Council, Young Republicans, and Young Democrats are donating 80 hours of their time to be at collection tables in the Kansas Union, Murphy, Summerfield, Strong Halls and Watson Library.
A man and woman in each of the Greek and scholarship houses will
be in charge of contributions. Also tables will be set up each night in the large residence halls.
As each student gives, he will sign his name on a sheet which will become a permanent fixture of the library. The Kennedy National Library is to be built on the Harvard University campus, Cambridge, Mass.
President Kennedy had personally selected the site eight weeks before his death. He hoped to use his experience to help train and educate young people, both from America
KU Blood Drive Aims at Record
Men of the KU residence halls today are completing one of the largest blood donations ever made in Lawrence.
When it's all over this afternoon, the total donation may reach 150 pints.
Weary Red Cross nurses said they had never seen anything like it.
"I'm plenty tired," said Red Cross chief nurse Judy Grupp yesterday afternoon as she helped tend the six donor cots set up in the lobby of Templin Hall. A steady stream of men kept the nurses busy throughout the afternoon in which more than 50 pints were collected.
"THE DONATION comes just in time to supply a blood reserve for the Christmas holidays," Mrs. Karel Blaas, executive director of the Douglas County Red Cross, said.
Cigar in hand, Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe greeted donors and served as chief medical officer Wednesday afternoon.
"DID THEY give you any transfusions when you had that knee surgery?" he asked Jan Hayen, Erie junior.
Hayen, who was the seventh man in line, assured the chancellor he was feeling fine and able to donate blood after undergoing surgery last year for a football injury.
The drive was originally set for yesterday only, but the response was so great that it had to be rescheduled for today also. At 4:30 p.m. yesterday, the lines were so long that some were turned away and asked to come back today.
A SPECIAL CONTRIBUTION by residents of Ellsworth Hall of 32 pints of blood to an eight-year-old Topeka girl has been cancelled. Other donors are contributing blood for the girl, who is to undergo surgery in January, and the donations previously scheduled for her from Ellsworth Hall will now go into the general Red Cross blood bank.
MRS. BLAAS said that this donation will definitely be the largest "one time" donation in Lawrence since creation of the Red Cross Blood Center in Lawrence in 1958. She said that the drive is undoubtedly the largest since drives during the Korean War.
The blood drive will end at 5 p.m. today. Residence halls participating in the donation are Ellsworth, Templin, Joseph R. Pearson and Grace Pearson. Rick Mabbutt, Shoshone, Idaho, senior, was chairman of the project.
and abroad, who wished to serve their countries and the world.
According to a pamphlet published by the corporation, "The Kennedy National Library is envisioned as comprising three working components." The members of the Board of Directors are: President Johnson, Robert F. Kennedy, Eugene R. Black, Edward M. Kennedy, Mrs. John F. Kennedy, and Stephen E. Smith.
The museum of the library will house many mementos associated with President Kennedy and his times. There will be an archive containing his personal papers as well as copies of public records necessary for an understanding of the actions of his administration.
The third component of the library will be an institute which will have as its central purpose "the education of young Americans and young people everywhere in the understanding and practice of democratic political life." Scholarships, research material, lectures, seminars, and public programs will bring people from every state and abroad to help achieve the democratic purposes.
"I think it's very valuable because we have few monuments to our great leaders and to our great institutions like the Presidency," said Bill Manning, Wichita junior and co-chairman of the KU drive.
Headquarters of the National Student Committee is in a Boston apartment formerly occupied by President Kennedy himself. Carl F. Allen, Jr., a Harvard junior, is chairman of the national committee.
This committee has as its goal 750,000 signatures and $250,000. It has contacted state coordinators of the drive who in turn recruit camput chairmen. Both of the Kansas coordinators, Frank Bangs, Wichita senior, and John Lorenz, Prairie Village junior, are from KU. Campus co-chairmen are Bill Manning and Mike Miner, Lawrence senior.
The Kennedy National Library will be the fifth presidential library. Others are the Eisenhower Library in Abilene, the Hoover Library, in West Branch, Iowa, the Truman Library, in Independence, Mo., and the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library in Hvde Park, N.Y.
Weather
The weather bureau forecasts continuing rain tonight with partly cloudy skies Friday. The high temperatures will be in the upper 40's and the low tonight in the mid 30's.

BERKELEY, Calif.—(UPI)—Rebellious students of the free Speech Movement (FSM) held a victory rally at the University of California yesterday—but the state said there would be a mandatory rally for more than 800 of them next week before a municipal judge.
Cal Students Claim Victory for FSM
The victory demonstration came after the faculty sided with the students in their demands for the right to advocate freely in a cause whatsoever without fear of university discipline.
However, the University Board o. Regents still is to be heard from on that subject. Board chairman Edward W. Carter said the regents would not take a stand on the faculty proposal until after the controversy was discussed at the board's next meeting, scheduled Dec. 18 in Los Angeles.
MEANWHILE, Governor Edmund G. Brown and Alameda County District Attorney J. Frank Coakley rejected demands by FSM that charges be dropped against about 800 persons arrested last week in an allnight sit-in demonstration at the university administration building.
The defendants are scheduled to appear before Berkeley municipal Judge Rupert G. Crittenden next Monday on such charges as disturbing the peace, resisting arrest and unlawful assembly.
GOV. BROWN reiterated in Sacramento yesterday that he would not grant amnesty to the arrested students.
"I have considered the question of amnesty carefully and my decision is final," said Brown, who ordered the arrests last week. "I will not intervene," he said.
Mario Savio, 22, leader of student demonstrators, has begun a cross-country speaking tour.
