California U. Students Sit In; Chancellor Orders Arrests
EERKELEY, Calif. $ ^{(s)} $ - (UPI) - A force of 410 helmeted police officers cracked down early today on some 900 students staging a sit-in at the University of California administration building in mass defiance of campus authorities.
Alameda County sheriff's deputies supported by California Highway Patrol officers plus Berkeley and Campus police, began carrying demonstrators out of Sproul Hall at 4:45 a.m. CST. They were arrested and loaded into nine buses for transportation to the county prison farm at Santa Rita.
THE ARRESTS WERE made after University Chancellor Edward W. Strong told the demonstrators to disperse or be taken into custody. They responded with passive resistance and chants of "freedom now," so officers began the task of carrying them out.
The students, part of a so-called "free speech movement" on the campus, began the sit-in yesterday after university officials refused their demands that no disciplinary action be taken against movement
leaders for previous demonstrations this fall.
The sit-ins were locked in the building by campus police last night after ignoring a direct order to "get out." Some slept on the floors, others talked in small groups or sang to soft guitar and banjo music. One group of co-eds played jacks on the floor.
Gov. Edmund G. Brown said in Los Angeles last night that he had called uoon Alameda County law enforcement officers to arrest students "who may be in violation of the law." He also directed the California Highway Patrol to "lend all necessary assistance."
However, the Governor said his orders were to be carried out "peacefully and quietly and as a demonstration that the rule of law must be honored in California."
THE STUDENT SIT-IN IS THE latest incident in a running disagreement between members of the officials of the University of Califor- "Free Speech Movement" and offia.
The feud began early this fall
Weeks Till Vacation Filled with Activities
Students are going to be checking their datebooks often to keep up with the flood of activities scheduled between now and Christmas vacation, which begins Dec. 18.
There is something for every taste going on at almost any time, ranging from Christmas formals, to basketball games, to theater productions.
THE CHRISTMAS VESPERS, to be held Sunday, Dec. 13, will the highlight of the musical programs.
v and student concerts c
when officials of the university placed restrictions on some of the political activities of the students. In turn some students organized a series of protests, petitions, and sit-ins. The most serious incident prior to todays sit-in was in October when students held two policemen inside the administration building at the university and barred their rescue by other law enforcement officers.
Women Run UDK; Men Flee to K.C.
The male segment of the Kansas staff is in Kansas City attending the national convention of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity.
IF ONE OBJECTIVE observation may be made, the news room is at least neater, if not more efficient, when women are running things.
Today's UDK has a feminine touch.
The newsroom floor is clean and the fine dust of cigarette ashes on the linoleum is absent for a change.
Several other faculty and the 16 days which remain before vacation. The Little Symphony will perform Dec. 9.
A few touches are absent from the newsroom. The usual mayhem in the a.m. was missing this morning. Exasperation was confined to a heartfelt "Oh, for cryin' out loud!" or a vicious slash of copy pencil across paper, instead of profanity, and nobody called anybody else a "raffink."
"A Doctor in Spite of Himself," an Experimental Theatre production, will be presented from Dec. 9 through 12; and Dec. 15 through 18.
Associated Women Students will be going all out to entertain over 300 high school senior girls who will be on campus for the annual High School Leadership Day, Dec. 5, and the Big Eight Student Government Association will meet at KU Dec. 11 and 12.
THE CHILDREN'S Theatre production of "Peter Pan" will open this weekend playing Dec. 3, 4, and 5.
THE LONE MALE who stayed behind to make sure the Kansan didn't collapse sat in a corner, surveying the scene with a frown on his face. Whether he was puzzled that women could do the job, or just feeling sorry for himself because he was prey for 10 females.
FRESHMAN STUDENTS will have an opportunity to talk over their impressions of college life and curricula today at the Principal, Counselor. Freshman Conferences.
The campus is also host to a Rock Products Conference, today; and a Piano Teachers Workshop tomorrow.
Kay Bethea, instructor of piano, will present a Faculty Recital on the piano, Dec. 7, and Richard Reber, also an instructor of piano, will play Dec. 14.
The students in Speech I classes will be participating in and attending the semi-annual Speech Potpourri contest Dec. 9 and 10.
THE CLASSICAL Film series continues to offer films every Wednesday night, and the Friday Flicks will continue their program through Dec. 18.
For the athletic minded, there will be two basketball games, the Sunflower Double Header, and the Big Eight Tournament in Kansas City.
A Student Recital, featuring David Holloway, baritone, Gas City graduate student, and Martha Randall, soprano, Mankato graduate student, will be on Dec. 16.
The feminine reporters were too busy being efficient to ask him.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, Raymond Nichols, vice chancellor for finance and executive secretary of the University, and Dr. C. Arden Miller, dean of the school of medicine, will explain the University's request for nearly $43 million for the fiscal year, beginning July 1, 1965.
Theater productions also will claim the time of many students.
State, KU Meet To Talk Money
MEETING with the KU administrators will be Governor-elect William Avery, and James Bibb, state budget director.
Vice Chancellor Nichols said yesterday that the budget figure was approved by the Board of Regents last June. It includes $22,439,745 for the operating budget of the Lawrence campus, $15,563,055 in operating budget for the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, and auxiliary enterprise budgets of $4,709,193 and $22,400, respectively, for the Lawrence campus and Medical Center.
A meeting to discuss KU's 1956 fiscal year budget has been set for Dec. 11, in Topeka, and will bring together three KU administrators, the state budget director, and the governor elect.
More money is needed to pay for additional positions on the staff, both faculty and civil service employes, and anticipated enrollment increases. he said.
The auxiliary budgets are used primarily for operation of the dormitory system, with the student hospital and certain student activities receiving some of these funds, Nichols said.
THE REQUESTED budget is $3,884,446 more than the 1965 budget, Nichols said. Any increases which are granted, he said, will come mainly from state appropriations and fee hikes.
The vice chancellor said projected enrollments for the next several years indicate a growth of about 1,600 to 1,800 students per year. More than 18,000 students are expected to be enrolled in 1968. This year's enrollment is about 12,400.
This meeting will bring discussion of the original request made last June by the Board of Regents. Here the budget director will challenge those increases of which he disapproves, Nichols said.
Next in the chain of events leading to the final budget will be for the budget director to recommend the KU budget, with changes he favors, to Governor-elect William Avery, Nichols said.
NICHOLS SAID THAT prior to the Dec. 11 meeting, Chancellor Wescoe should receive the budget director's approval or disapproval of the proposed budget increase.
The governor will then include the KU budget, with his own changes, in the total state budget which he will submit to the legislature.
MORE CHANGES in the budget could then come at the hands of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means before being voted on by the legislature.
One of the obvious problems for the legislature will be to find new sources of revenue to meet the rising budget demands from the many state agencies and institutions. Increased funds are a necessity if the state's educational standards are to remain high, Nichols said.
Thirty-two Years Later
Editor Gives College Life Another Try
By Suzy Tichacek
After being out of school for 32 years, established in your profession, would you want to return to law school at the age of 54?
That's exactly what Morry Zenoff, a Nevada newspaper man and editor did when he entered the KU law school this fall. In his newspaper in Nevada, he wrote a series of four articles telling about his second college experience, the students at KU and the law school.
WHY DID A 54-YEAR-OLD man want to return to school to receive his law degree?
"I feel a local editor with legal training could make sure ordinances are fair and without loopholes, state laws should be up to date and progressive and well written," he continued. "I feel the general public, the John Q. Citizen of the towns where I have newspapers should have a public defender on matters of public and public concern. This, then, is why I am here."
EXACTLY 36 YEARS ago in September, Zenoff started college at Madison. Wisc., and four years later won his degree in journalism. "My first week then as I recall, compares with my first week now. Except for living conditions. Then I lived with three other fellows in a rooming house and walked to the campus," Zenoff said.
"Now—obviously not being able to find room mates of my own age," he wrote, "and certainly not being the type the fraternities would
want, other than serving as a chaperon. I have found a small, simple room in Lawrence, Kan."
Zenoff chose KU over Wisconsin University, where he was also accepted, because his daughter is a senior at Wisconsin U. He felt going to school on the same campus might be a bit odd, especially if he passed his daughter walking with some fellow whom she might like.
Before deciding to attend KU, Zenoff talked with his son who is getting his doctorate degree at Harvard. "He said as long as all three of us in the same family were to be in college at the same time—we ought to spread our experience on remote campuses—or is it campi—and then compare notes," Zenoff said.
In his article Zenoff commented that it's rather unusual for a man of his age to be attending school. He said as he walked to classes and stood in lines for meals the students took a-second look at him and big question marks appeared on their faces.
"I can feel my age is showing," Zenoff said, "when I climb the hill each day to the campus buildings. My heart pounds and the law books add weight with each step. The most discomforting physical phenomenon comes when I dig into the case books for several hours of intensive reading of the whereces and party of the first parts. I find my right eye waters constantly and just won't stop."
In his description of the law school, Zenoff emphasizes how much work is expected of the students. "You are expected to read your law books in each course each day (and night, and thru the night, depending how fast you can read and how slowly you absorb) to the tune of about the next 25 pages," Zenoff said.
HE CONTINUED TO DESCRIBE how complex the study of law becomes with the rulings of the court just the opposite of what you'd think they should be.
DURING HIS TIME AT KU.
Zenoff had many doubts about whether to continue with the studying or return home. "I wonder—where I fit best—. Is it home-sickness? Is the eye trouble just a manifestation to provide an excuse? Will I be satisfied if I stay, or return? Wonder — yes — but what a thrilling way to suffer," he wrote.
Then the fourth article of Morey Zenoff appeared in his paper. The first sentence read—"As of today-I am no longer a college student."
"FIRST—THE folks back home
"What comes to your mind as you pass through the law school doors—on the way out for the last time?" Zenoff wrote.
His best judgment told him that a man of 54 could not return, to study law, at least, and keep up with the modern day 21 to 24 year old.
will laugh at you and say—I told you so. Second—your family will not pass it off so lightly—for it was a risky try from the start and doubtlessly was a costly one for all concerned—in addition to the defeat mark that's placed up there over the family coat of arms," Zenoff wrote
"Third—what gains have come to you from this defeat. I'll dwell on the last—and let the chips on the first two fall where they may," he said.
"The experience, though only a month, was priceless." Zenoff wrote. "And so—I bid adieu to dear old Kansas U." Zenoff concluded, "to Professors Kelly, Blades, Strong, and Shurtz—to the other 110 fresh lawyers who were my classmates and all of whom, I'm sure, will fare much better than I. While I long to carry my books up the campus walk and hear the students greet me with their Hi Pop, Hi Dad I figure my jig is up—I'm going to concentrate on my first and greatest love—the newspaper business . . . for now—and forevermore."
Weather
Occasional snow through tomorrow, accumulating two to four inches, is predicted by the weather burer. A low of 15 to 20 degrees tonight and cold temperatures tomorrow will result in hazardous driving conditions.
