SDS Demands U.S. Halt Viet Bombing
A resolution calling for the immediate cessation of the bombing of North Viet Nam by the United States was introduced last night at a meeting of KU Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) at the Oread Room of the Kansas Union.
Also specified in the resolution were a rapid withdrawal of all foreign troops from South Viet Nam under the supervision of the United Nations, and a guarantee of the territorial integrity of South Viet Nam by the UN.
The author of the resolution termed it "somewhat Utopian" but "something I could defend very strongly."
NO ACTION was taken on the resolution at last night's meeting.
Seventeen members attended the meeting, presided over by John Garlinghouse, Salina junior and head of the KU chapter of SDS. Garlinghouse estimated the full strength of KU-SDS at some 40 members. National membership is about 3,000.
Future meetings of KUSDS until the beginning of the fall term will be held at the Garlinghouse home, 1023 Vermont St. Next week, it was announced, a report on the CORE national convention as related to SDS would be given.
The SDS describes itself as a "radical national union of students." The SDS constitution states, "Students for a Democratic Society is an association of young people on the left. It seeks to create a sustained community of educational and political concern; one bringing together liberals and radicals, activists and scholars, students and faculty."
A peace conference in Washington, D.C., to be held Aug. 6-9, was announced at the meeting. The conference was described as "an assembly for unrepresented people."
IN AN INTERVIEW after the meeting, Garlinghouse said the work of KUSDS in the near future would be "mostly dialogue: literature, education, and public relations."
"We don't envision any picket lines here for the SDS in the near future," he said.
He said the KU chapter had received permission from Hans Morgenthau, professor of political science at the University of Chicago, and Paul Goodman, editor of the magazine Liberation, to use their works in KUSDS publications.
Garlinghouse concluded by explaining that although the SDS's position on civil rights is similar to that of CORE, and although the SDS is sympathetic to the peace demands of the Student Peace Union, the SDS strives to be a broader organization that concerns itself with all facets of the beliefs of the democratic left.
Rains Pound Much of U.S.
By United Press International
Scattered thundershowers roamed the Southland yesterday from the Atlantic Coast to Arizona. Heavy rain in Colorado raised the threat of new flooding.
A funnel cloud was reported during the night 25 miles northwest of Denver, where a cloudburst dropped 1.95 inches of rain in a half hour.
The California Zephyr passenger train derailed west of Denver Saturday night and railroad officials said the tracks were undermined by 4-inch rains. Three crew members suffered minor injuries in the accident
Two deaths were confirmed in the Colorado flood area, and three per sons were reported missing.
Gov. John A. Love said the weekend eastern Colorado floods caused $50,000 damage to public facilities alone and estimated damage to temporary highway facilities.
The weather bureau said .78 of an inch of rain fell at Laramie, Wyo., during the night and Chadron, Neb., was hit with the same amount. Northern Alabama was swept with heavy showers, with Huntsville recording 68 of inch in one hour.
Temperatures were unusually high Sunday in the Northwest, Ephrata, Wash., recorded a high of 102 degrees and Pendleton, Ore., swelled in 100-degree heat.
DYCHE'S "J-HAWK?" — These words inscribed on a gargoyle on the front of the Museum of Natural History frequently go unnoticed by the tourist, as well as the student. (Photo by Hugh Tessendorf.)
J-Hawk Among KU Gargovles
THE GARGOYLES which adorn the museum fit this description perfectly. The only thing which causes the gargoyles to be the least bit unusual is the inscriptions which two o/ the animals bear.
Gargoyles, as defined by Webster, are "waterspouts, often carved grotesquely, projecting at the upper part of a building, usually from the roof gutter."
By Tanya McNaughten
Dyche Hall, home of the Museum of Natural History, is not only the scene of some unusual exhibits, but of some unusual gargoyles.
Although no one seems to know the exact reason, E. Raymond Hall, director of the museum, ventured a guess. When the building was being built, two sculptors from Italy were asked to decorate the exterior of Dyche with their work.
"THESE MEN (Joseph Robalde Frazee and his son, Vitruvius) may have heard these words and added a touch of humor to their work by inscribing them." Hall said.
"Rock Chalk" adorns an anima facing south. "J-Hawk" reads the gargoyle facing east. Why do these animals bear these particular words'
This theory seems fairly sound since everyone has heard the words: "Rock Chalk, J-Hawk." Yet there is still the question: "Why is the question mark after J-Hawk inscribed?"

Sjeklocha, Polly Gambel Reign as Camp Royalty
Mike Sjeiklocha, a science apprentice in mathematics from Indianola, Iowa, and Polly Gambel, a music major from Galesburg, Ill., were crowned king and queen of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp Saturday.
The announcement was made at the annual formal dance by Prof. Russell L. Wiley, camp director, and Gerald M. Carney, associate director.
The crowning climaxed a week of strenuous campaigning by 22 candidates nominated by their respective wings July 19. at floor meetings.
Other candidates for camp king were Dave Stone, 3N; Steve Smith, 3S; Tom Hasker, 4N; Richard Laws, 4S; Paul Gilbert, 5N; Frank Bibb, 5S; Tom Potter, 6N; Harold Keen, 6S and Burt Stoeker, 7N.
The other queen candidates were Debbie Quick, 2S; Liz Harris, 3N; Cindy Menendez, 3S; Tanya McNaughten, 4N; Gina Bikales, 4S; Shay Slack, 5N; Joan Wood, 5S; Mary Gale, 6N; Patty Ashley, 6S;
Linda Schrieber, 7N, and Vicki Johnson, 7S.
The week was filled with active campaigning and everyone worked hard to promote his candidate. Posters hung in both cafeterias and throughout the dorms.
Fans of Tom Potter and Mike Sjekloka set up public address systems in the boys' dorm. Steve Smith served Kool-Aid on the patio one evening. Those campaigning for Tom Hasker wore shirts with their candidate's name on the back. The girl candidates kept the pace by displaying various and different posters
Kindness Pays Off
LEICESTER, England — (UPI) — Mrs. Biance Sannazzari, a cleaner at the Hillcrest Hospital here, has been left 100 pounds ($280) by a former patient, Miss Jane Chapman, as thanks "for her kindness in providing me with a glass of water when I requested it."
As summer school nears completion, KU officials already are involved in fall activities.
These activities will begin Aug. 1 with men's open rush. During the month of August, pledgings will take place in the rushees' home communities.
All men whose applications for admission to KU have been approved and who have registered for rush will be able to sign, upon invitation, an official pledge card for the fraternity of their choice at this time.
DURING FORMAL rush the 27 fraternities on the KU campus will give dinners and parties for the rushees. Donald K. Alderson, dean of men, said more than 400 men are expected to go through rush this fall.
Men who do not sign pledge cards during August and who wish to have an additional opportunity to meet fraternity members on campus may attend formal rush Sept. 7-10. During this period the rushes will stay at Templin Hall.
Women's formal fall rush will be held Sept. 8-12. Fall rush is limited to upperclasswomen who have at least a 1.2 cumulative grade point average for all college work completed by the end of the regular academic year prior to rush.
Women rushees will move into Lewis Hall from 5 to 8 p.m. Sept. 8. At 9 p.m. there will be a meeting of all rushees and Panhellenic representatives.
THURSDAY, SEPT. 9, the 13 KU sororites will hold open house. On Friday morning, Panhellenic counselors will issue invitations in rushees' rooms. The rushees will return the invitations in person. Saturday, the second invitationals will be held.
Each rushee will attend two parties between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. Immediately after she attends her last party, she will go to the office of the dean of women, 220 Strong, to fill out her preference card. Sunday morning the final invitations to pledge will be issued, and Rushees will move into the sorority houses.
As women's rush closes, another fall activity begins—the orientation program for new students. Orientation ceremonies will begin with a reception for students and parents from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 12, in the Kansas Union.
