Civil Rights Council Nominates Candidates for Fall Leadership
Page 9
Civil Rights Council officers for the 1965 fall semester will be elected next Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Cottonwood Room of the Kansas Union.
Officer nominations were made at the regular weekly meeting last night. In addition to those nominated, nominations will be accepted from the floor next week.
Nominated for president were Douglas Ruhe, Wilmette, Ill., junior; Rick Mabbutt, Shoshone, Idaho, senior; and Peggy Smith, Garden City junior.
SIMS STOKES, Mobile, Ala., junior; Sherman Stimilky, Jackson Miss., junior; Tom Switlik, Parsons sophomore; Mike Jennifer, N.Y. freshman; Walter Wesley, Ft. Myers, Fla., junior, and Douglas Ruhe were nominated for vice president.
Nominated for secretary were Anita Brown, Kansas City sophomore; Margaret Hughes, Ottawa junior; Pat Alexander, Junction City sophomore, and Tom Switik.
The treasurer's position will be filled by the person who receives the second highest number of votes for secretary.
The Civil Rights Council hopes to sponsor a "Freedom Day" on campus next semester, perhaps in October. The day would consist of workshops covering aspects of the civil rights problem. The group hopes to bring a folk singer or a well-known comedian to the campus for a concert. All proceeds from the event would be sent to the South to aid in the civil rights struggle there.
They hope to have displays of Negro cultural achievements in the showcases in Watson Library and the Kansas Union.
Book Collection Reflects Kansas History
By Robert D. Stevens
Kansas, 104 years old this year, is depicted in a collection of historical items in the special collections department of Watson Library.
The Kansas Collection consists of books and pamphlets in about 25,000 bound volumes, and collections of manuscripts, maps and pictures.
THE COLLECTION WAS started in 1892 when Miss Carrie M. Watson, the university librarian, purchased about 100 volumes of Kansas history from the Rev. J. W. D. Anderson of Baldwin for less than $200. Several of these books are now offered by dealers for $100 or more.
Through the efforts of Miss Watson and her successor in the Kansas Collection, Miss Mary Maud Smelser, the collection has become outstanding in its field.
Jayhawker Positions Open for Next Year
Applications are now being accepted for editor and business manager of the Jayhawker. They should be turned in to Raymond Nichols, chairman of the Jayhawker advisory board, at the chancellor's office by May 18.
The application should be a letter outlining the applicant's qualifications and summarizing his or her plans for the Jayhawker.
The book collection is divided into sections—general and local Kansas history, biography, literature. University of Kansas publications, state documents, publications of societies and organizations, and periodicals and newspapers.
AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE in the Kansas history section includes "The Reign of Terror in Kansas," 1856.
In the local history field is a privately printed item. "The Narrative of John Doy," of Lawrence, Kansas, and "A Plain Unvarnished Tale," 1860.
The biography section includes a sketch of the life of J. H. Lane, "The Grim Chieftain of Kansas . . . by One Who Knows." 1885.
Kansas imprints are well represented ranging from the "First Ioway Reading Book," 1835, to a complete set of Haldeman-Julius "Little Blue Books" printed "to provide people what they want to read at 5 cents a copy."
