CRC Says KU Can Guide State View in Race Area
Many of the attitudes which exist in Kansas are formed and changed by actions taken at KU, according to statements made by Bert Rinkel, Scott City, at a meeting of the Civil Rights Council (CRC) last night.
"Racial feelings among sorority and fraternity members here are directly related to the power structure in our state. This is one of the reasons why racial problems still exist in our society," Rinkel said. He was reporting to the group on the findings of the CRC with regard to racial discrimination in the Greek system.
Runkel was outlining a few of the points which will be presented by the CRC to the University Human Relations Committee in the future.
He pointed to five ways in which integration can be accomplished within the Greek system or other effective action can be taken to end discrimination in this area.
"THEIR CAN BE forced integration; open rush with the first 20 or more persons to sign being accepted; and encouragement by the university community toward local autonomy of the chapter.
Cross Afire Seen Outside Apartment
A burning wooden cross was found outside the apartment house of Walter Bgoya, co-president of the CRC. Tuesday night.
Bgoya, Tanzania senior, was taking a shower last night at about 12:30, in the apartment he shares with Charles Hook, Glen Head, N.Y., sophomore and Student Peace Union president, when a neighbor from the apartment above called and told Bgoya there was a fire outside. The neighbor was P. Suryanarayana, visiting assistant math professor.
Together they went to look. They found the burning cross outside Bogya's window made of wood and covered with cloth. No one was seen outside.
"Integration can be accomplished slowly over a number of years or the Greeks can be ordered off the campus altogether," he continued.
KU Negotiates Medical Plan
On the KU campus Rinkel suggested that "we establish undergraduate control within the house, do away with the 'blackball' system and establish instead a ruling that a two-thirds majority is necessary to reject a person."
MEMBERS OF THE group who were arrested during the sit-in demonstrations at the office of the chancellor were given an opportunity to sign statements which would allow them to be represented by attorneys representing the CRC.
Preliminary negotiations between KU and the Blue Cross and Blue Shield were begun yesterday over the cost of next year's premiums.
