SURROUNDED AT UNION—William O. Douglas, associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, sits amidst a crowd of curious students and adults last night in the Kansas Union following
his lecture. The red-face, white-haired jurist answered questions concerning Red China and his love of conservation and shook hands with several wellwishers. (See stories on page one.)
Rights Group Pickets at Talk
By Jim Sullinger
Braving six degree weather and seven inches of snow, about 35 members of the Civil Rights Council (CRC) demonstrated last night in front of Hoch Auditorium, prior to the speech by U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas.
Pickets left the Kansas Union at 7:20 p.m. carrying signs which read, "Not Against Douglas, Against KU Discrimination," and "University Should Control Greeks."
THE GROUP demonstrated quietly for 45 minutes and dispersed as
soon as Justice Douglas began speaking.
Pamphlets were passed out requesting the immediate end to de facto discriminatory policies of fraternities and sororites, refusal by the University Daily Kansan of advertisements from those who practice discrimination, and signing of a notarized statement declaring a nondiscriminatory policy by persons listing housing facilities with the University.
Neil Stone, Shawnee Mission freshman president of the CRC, said he would meet with Bob Stewart, Vancouver, B.C., senior and student body president, and Donald K. Alderson, dean of men, at 4:30 p.m. today.
"We will give the administration one week," Stone said, "and if no definite action is taken, another demonstration will be made."
STONE SAID OF Justice Douglas: "The CRC feels he is very interested in civil rights and is a promoter of them."
Justice Douglas was informed prior to his speech of the demonstration. His only comment was, "I imagine they have a constitutional right to picket."
Rock Chalk Riot
Out Pops Stewart, Chased by Pratt...
"Cutt" yells director Hoite Caston, Independence graduate student, who is also producer of the review.
KU students on their coffee break in Strong Hall basement last week had an added attraction.
Actually it was a "coming attraction" or preview of the between acts segment of Rock Chalk Revue, student satirical show to be presented March 5 and 6.
They may have noticed the lights and camera crew at the far end of the hall, but casual coffee drinkers weren't prepared to see Bob Stewart, Vancouver, B.C., senior and student body president chasing Richard Pratt, Olathe junior, followed by four sloppily dressed military "students."
And that's about all Caston will reveal of the cinemascope film. He says it's a combination satire of a James Bond thriller and a parody of the old silent Keystone Cops. Filming has been both on and off campus, as far away as Topeka, and includes celebrities of the University.
Enter Mike Robe, Arkansas City junior, alias a James Bond who typically pauses to admire a startled female student . . .
--starring William Holden and Kim Novak
"I don't want to give it away," Caston says, "but those who have witnessed any of the scenes are pretty curious about the whole film." The theme of the revue is "Fractured Flickers" and it was Caston's idea to use short films between acts to warm up the audience.
Communist Party Of U.S.A. Indicted
A special cast will also use song and dance to introduce the four fraternity-sorority skits. One introduction will present academy awards to campus "celebrities" and another will depict "scenes from the cutting room floor," or those that never made it in the finished film.
Another film, produced by former KU student and now Wichita University instructor Lance Hayes, is a satire on the University.
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—A federal grand jury today re-indicted the Communist Party of the U.S.A. for failing to register as a Communist action organization controlled by the Soviet Union.
