TOPEKA, Kan. —(UPI)— Reaportionment of the Kansas Legislature will not be done during the Legislature's 1965 session. Gov. William H. Avery said Monday.
Legislative Vote
Avery met with House and Senate leaders after the Kansas Supreme Court declared the apportionment of the Kansas House of Representatives was unconstitutional.
Avery said it was the unanimous conclusion that redistricting should not be done during the current session. The governor said this was because the court stipulated that reapportionment of the House would not have to be accomplished before April 2, 1966, the date candidates must file for election.
KU STUDENTS FROM Liberal,
Dwight Boring* says...
Stands to reason that a life insurance policy designed expressly for college men—and sold only to college men—gives you the most benefits for your money when you consider that college men are preferred insurance risks. Call me and I'll fill you In on THE BENEFACTOR, College Life's famous policy, exclusively for college men.

though not contestants in the race, have memories of the "flapjack sprint.
Judith Godfrey, Liberal senior, said she did not know how long the race had been going on between Olney and Liberal women, but "at least 10 years or so."
REBECCA BERGLUND. Liberal freshman, said, "My folks called me just last night and asked if I was coming home for the race. I'm not, but it is a big deal in Liberal."
"The races start about 9 o'clock with a race for the men, and then the women race. The most fun, though, is at the breakfast--watching people devour huge stacks of pancakes."
"School is let out and in the morning there is a parade and the race with Olney. There is another race in the afternoon for women from outside Liberal, but it's not the official race," she said.
"After we finish this set...
let's head
for 'Charlie's'...
Don't call a cab.
I want to show
you my
new wheels--
a new Dodge Coronet."
"Who's the guy who keeps waving? My Dodge salesman... good people. Clued me in on all the jazz that comes standard on a Coronet 500."
"Like bucket seats, full carpeting, padded dash, console, spinners, backup lights and a wild V8 for kicks... oops, there's my cue..."
"Black is the color of my true love's Coronet..."
Coronet makes your kind of music, and the price won't leave you flat.
