CRC Demonstrators Make Court Showing
Four demonstrators arrested during the Civil Rights Council (CRC) demonstrations March 8-9 appeared in Douglas County Probate Court Monday morning.
The four were among the 22 demonstrators whose trial dates were to have been set at 10 a.m. yesterday. Chief attorney for the demonstrators, Charles Scott of Topeka, requested that scheduling should be continued until July since he had to be present at another court action in Topeka yesterday.
PROBATE COURT Judge Charles C. Rankin granted the continuance and commended the four demonstrators for appearing in court. They were Martha S. Knight, Shawnee Mission graduate; Donna K. Braun-leich, Kansas City junior; Anita Louise Brown, Kansas City, Mo., junior, and Carolyn Buford, Kansas City senior.
Seventy of the arrested demonstrators have not been asked to appear before the court to have trial dates set. Judge Rankin, county attorney Ralph M. King, and Scott said they did not know when the 70 would be called.
Two June graduates of KU have been presented engraved Hamilton watches in recognition of their work in both the sciences and the humanities.
Two Seniors Get Watches for Efforts
George Barisas, Kansas City, Mo. received the Hamilton Watch Co award for the college graduate in the sciences who also has exhibited competence and appreciation in the humanities and social sciences. Letha Schwiesow, Shawnee Mission, was awarded the parallel Greater University Fund watch for the humanities graduate with great interest in the natural sciences.
Barisas is a Rhodes scholar to Oxford University in England. He will do graduate work in chemistry. He also has majors in mathematics and German and has edited a German literary magazine. A Phi Beta Kappa and member of Sachem senior honorary, Barisas also won a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship for graduate study.
Miss Schwiesow will continue her studies in the Soviet and Slavic area, the humanities, and Russian at Yale next year on a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship. A Watkins and Berger scholar, she has taken numerous courses in the natural sciences as well.
Scott said he felt more information on the 70 would be known by July 14, the newly-set date for scheduling the trials of the 22 called Monday. He said he had not yet had an opportunity to talk to King concerning final action on the former group.
Those who did not appear were Elizabeth Apfel, Boston, Mass., senior; Linda Lee Cook, Sedalia, Mo., senior; Bonnie Brown, Lawrence sophomore; Linda D. Cloud, Kansas City sophomore; Judith A. Clark, Lawrence housewife; Paul Warren, Ellinwood senior; David Fractenberg, assistant instructor of speech and drama; Marianna Cooley, Lawrence housewife; Patricia A. Alexander, Junction City senior; Carol Borg, Manhattan senior; Rosalea Yoder, Harper senior; Judy Hellerstein, Denver, Colo., senior; Gary F. Ballard, Omaha, Neb., sophomore; James V. Chism, Anthony graduate student; Lee Grant Dosier, Kansas City senior; Frances Henrietta Burns, Houston, Tex., junior; Gale Sayers, Omaha, Neb.
University Given NASA Contracts
KU researchers will help perfect radar usage for the first NASA orbiting spacecraft during the next year.
TWO NASA contracts, totaling $514,790, have been awarded to KU to continue studies of the uses of radar to detect the properties of surfaces from high altitudes. Richard K. Moore, distinguished professor of electrical engineering, is coordinator of the project.
Rep. Robert F. Ellsworth, in announcing the award last week, said research also would be carried on at other universities and governmental agencies.
Metz Receives Stipend
Kenneth L. Metz Jr. of Kansas City has been awarded an International Nickel Merit Scholarship for 1965-66. He plans to attend KU and to major in metallurgy. Metz is a graduating senior at Argentine High School.
Terry Miller Polishes Off KU Career With 3-Point
What's wrong with making a "B" or two on KU final examinations?
To most KU students nothing. But for Terry Miller, a "B" would not have been too welcome.
Miller, recent Baxter Springs graduate, has never received a grade lower than "A."
"IT LOOKS GOOD now, and I'm not going to worry myself out of it," Miller prophesied before finals.
Neither did he slough off. He took a fairly light load for him, but treated the semester about the same as always. That meant about two hours study outside of class for every hour in class. Finals meant reviewing only.
"I learn each day," he explained.
"If I don't know it by now, with some reviewing, I'm not going to be able to learn a whole semester in one or two nights of late cram sessions.
Last minute cram sessions have never produced Summerfield Scholars, Phi Beta Kappas, or Woodrow Wilson Fellows. Miller is all three. He is also the first KU Marshall Scholar to England, where he will spend the next two years doing graduate work in chemistry at Cambridge.
His combination of grades and activities won him election to Owl Society and Sachem, junior and senior men's honoraries. He was also president of the Men's Scholarship Hall Council, vice-president of Jolliffe Scholarship Hall, and a member of
the College Intermediary Board. He also published research conducted under National Science Foundation and Kansas Heart Association awards, and won departmental awards in both chemistry and German.
He is only equalled by Mrs. Bernice Larson Schear, English, 1956-61 for the B.A., M.A., and Ph.D.; James K. Logan, economics, 1952, and present dean of the KU Law School; Robert W. McJones, aerospace engineering, 1947; John W. Lintner Jr., economics, 1939; William G. McCarroll, economics, 1936; and Walter A. Varvel, psychology, 1932.
Miller won the Veta B. Lear, Grace Carol Eaton and Paul B. Lawson awards for the highest grades in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences his freshman, sophomore and senior years. No award is given for the junior year.
MORE STATISTICS indicate he is the first straight "A" graduate in almost 10 years, the fourth in the last quarter century, and the seventh in KU history.
Six KU students and former students and one faculty member will be among the hundreds of civil rights workers in Louisiana and Mississippi this summer.
The records show that at least 12 more former KU students have come within six hours or less of making it too.
CORE Draws 7 To Labor in South
THE MOST disheartened of these must have been the woman student in 1334, a bacteriology major and Phi Beta Kappa, who slipped to a half hour of "B" in hygiene. She came back, however, to make straight "A's in graduate school.
All will be associated with the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE).
THEY ARE Mildred Dickeman, assistant professor of anthropology; Rick Mabbutt, Shoshone, Ida, senior; Marianna Cooley, wife of James Cooley, a Salina junior; Don Rhoades, Storm Lake, Iowa, senior; Pamela Smith, former student from Kansas City, and Geraldine Maddox, Craig Colo., former student.
Miss Smith has been associated with the CORE office in Bogalusa, La., the past two months. Miss Maddox has been working in the New Orleans CORE office.
CORE work will be concentrated in Louisiana, northern Florida and South Carolina. Basic training for the workers will be conducted at Waveland, Miss.
THE WORKERS will emphasize voter registration, literacy, formation of farmers' cooperatives, distribution of food and clothing, and opportunities provided under the anti-poverty bill.
Track Team Busy Since Final Week
Track coach Bill Easton and his team have been hitting the cinder trails since final week.
EIGHT KU track and field men participated in the National Federation Track and Field Meet in Bakersfield, Calif., Friday. They were Art Cortez and Lowell Paul, high jumpers; Tom Yergovich and Gene McLain, milers; Glenn Martin, triple-jumper; Bill Chambers, high hurder; Rin Suggs, sprinter, and Gary Schwartz, discus.
KU's championship Big Eight outdoor team will participate in the NCAA Track and Field Championships at Berkeley, Calif., June 17-19. The above eight will be joined by three of their teammates: Tom Purma, javelin; Tyce Smith, high jumper, and John Lawson, distance runner.
Coach Easton said the three were reporting late because of school work.
Mineral Research Topic Draws 17
Seventeen experts from over the nation will meet here through June 25 for a seminar aimed at producing original research concepts in "Economic Analysis in Mineral Industries."
The U.S. Bureau of Mines, the State Geological Survey, and KU's petroleum engineering faculty are sponsoring the seminar, second of its kind. The first, on the methodology of economic analysis, was held here a year ago.
Prof. Kevin R. Jones, seminar monitor, said representatives of several scientific disciplines are working together "to develop reliable models to use in measuring, improving, and expanding the mineral industry endowment of a region." Seminar participants will be using the recently completed Eugene A. Stephenson Computer Applications Laboratory.
KU 'Master Plan' Displayed in Union
The University of Kansas put up a new display for Commencement, illustrating and explaining the campus planning which resulted in the University's 10-year building program adopted by the Kansas Board of Regents in February, 1962.
The display in the south lounge of the Kansas Union features a recent photogrammetric controlled mosaic aerial photograph; two views of the master plan, one with new buildings superimposed on old and one without the buildings to be removed; an artist's isometric rendering of the campus as it will look in January, 1967, and a new completed artist's rendering of new Fraser Hall.
New Fraser Hall will go under construction within 30 days of Commencement.
Wescoe Gives Approval To HRC Recommendations
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe has announced his approval of the University Human Relations Committee recommendations concerning placement, job listing, and referral activities at the University of Kansas.
In keeping with the "Reaffirmation
Languages to Split Into Two Areas
Romance languages, possibly the largest department at the University of Kansas, will be split into two divisions next fall.
Ronald W. Tobin, associate professor of romance languages, will be chairman of the French and Italian division, and Domingo Ricart, professor in the Latin American Area Studies and director of the KU-Costa Rica program, will direct the Spanish and Portuguese department
The romance languages department now has nearly 80 courses, including the graduate level, and the division will facilitate administration and distribution of the teaching load, Robert P. Cobb, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said.
The separation of large departments into smaller divisions is a trend of large universities to enable them best to direct areas of study, Dean Cobb added.
of Principles" adopted by the committee and approved by the chancellor March 11, the recommendations call upon each office involved in placement to be absolutely certain their procedures insure that no persons are denied access to referral services, job listings, or other placement facilities because of race or creed.
This would continue the present practice of barring identification of job candidates by race or creed in office files, in referrals made, or in other documents or communications concerning job candidates.
It also would bar from using referral services or other placement assistance employers who have been proved to discriminate by race or creed in hiring practices or who do not affirm that they are an equal opportunity employer.
Announcements of employment opportunities offered by schools, departments, or divisions of the University will continue to indicate that the University is an equal opportunity employer. University placement office announcements will include a paragraph stating the University's non-discriminatory placement policies.
As in other human relations matters, the University Human Relations Committee will serve as the official University group to receive complaints of any breaches of this policy.
