Joan Baez Woman Of Multiple Facets
By Terry Joslin
Will success spoil Joan Bacz? This is not the title of a new musical comedy.
Joan Baez is the social-protesting folk singer who makes in excess of $100,000 a year, who doesn't believe in paying income tax for defense, and who recently sang at rallies of the free speech movement at Berkeley. Calif.
She is also suing three record companies for $125,000, according to the Associated Press, for their release of an album taken from seven-year-old tape recordings made when she
Klan Plans Rally In Arkansas Town
HAMBURG, Ark. — (UPI) — A rally of the Ku Klux Klan will be held in Hamburg Saturday night, according to Houston P. Morris of Monroe, La., Imperial wizard of the original Ku Klux Klan of America.
Morris said Wednesday the rally will be held on private property about two blocks from the Ashley County courthouse.
He said the rally would be for all interested persons in Ashley county and anyone can attend. He said no picture taking would be allowed.
Morris said the Klan is now operating in five southeast Arkansas counties but added it was not a policy of the Klan to divulge its membership strength in any area.
The national headquarters of the original KKK are at Monroe and Morris, as its imperial wizard, is the national chairman.
"The rally is not a recruiting program by any means," he said. "I'll admit that it does help some. We'll pass out some literature but we consider it to be a Christian gathering. Every man who joins has to swear he is a Christian."
The Klan has not been active in Arkansas for years.
was 17 and "an immature and inexperienced singer and guitarist."
The album in question, "Joan Baez in San Francisco," describes her: "She continues to record infrequently, to appear when she really wishes to, and to live quite modestly in the Big Sur-Carmel region of California."
THIS SAME album jacket says Joan Baez is "a voice lifted against violence and wrongdoing the world over."
Joan Bace also has a signal distinction among folk singers. Joining the ranks of such individuals as Aleksei Kosygin, Barry Goldwater, and Ara Parseghian, she made the cover of Time magazine.
Joan Baez is well known for taking off her shoes and singing such old English ballads as "Barbara Allen" and "House Carpenter." She also sings Bob Dylan type protest songs like "With God on Our Side" and "What have They Done to the Rain."
On the "San Francisco" album she adds to her depth by singing "Young Blood," a song recorded most notably by the "Coasters."
Some students on this campus were asked their opinions of Joan Baez's action.
"Only $125,000!" Jim Nickum,
Wichita senior. said.
"IVE NEVER heard of her, but I'm all for her if she jets the jack." Rich Baker, Savannah, Mo., senior, said.
It may be noted that Joan Baez "wishes to" appear at the University of Missouri later this year, where she is scheduled to give a concert.
More Ask for Awards
More KU students will be competing for fewer scholarships for the coming academic year, according to Robert Billings, director of Aids and Awards.
"We will probably have more than 2,000 applications to deal with before the year is over," Billings said. "At the present time we are dealing with 1,482—nearly 1,500."
Billings explained that 500-600 scholarships will be applied for on a renewal basis at the end of the school year.
There will be no substantial increase in the $175,000 fund for institutionally-awarded scholarships to cover this 15 per cent increase in applications, Billings said.
"The number of scholarships awarded for the coming year will have to be reduced because of the

increase in tuition and fees,"Billings added.
A total of 442 men and 411 women have applied for scholarship hall awards, according to the Aids and Awards office. Approximately 450 spaces will be available. Billings said the number of available rooms each year in the scholarship hall system has not varied appreciably for the past five years. Nearly all of the scholarship hall applicants also applied for general scholarships. In addition, 553 persons applied for only general scholarships.
Seventy-six Summerfield, Watkins and honor scholarships were awarded earlier this year.
