A Technological School Suggested By Regents
The Board of Regents' Committee on New Projects has expressed the belief that there was a need for a two-year technological institute in the state.
Meeting in Topeka on Friday for their monthly meeting, the board discussed the school to be located in Salina on the Schilling Air Force Base grounds.
President James A. McCain of Kansas State University said, "We could convert some marginal quality engineers into first-rate technicians."
ALTHOUGH THE committee expressed the need for such a school, they didn't feel it should be under the auspices of the Board of Regents
The committee submitted a report stating that they felt that they had not received necessary "support dollars" for existing state schools. "This being the case, we cannot accept additional units within our budget."
The technical institute would offer a two-year course for high school

ERROL E. HARRIS, professor of philosophy, sponsors a flight to Europe every summer. Once students or faculty members arrive in Europe they are free to follow their own travel plans.
Prof. Harris has made reservations for 30 people, and has had to turn down additional requests. The group flies together for a discount.
JANET BREIDENTHAL, Kansas City, senior, and SUA travel chairman, said "We don't sponsor any groups, but we help interested students go abroad by giving them information on how they can get over there and see the things they want to see."
At its last meeting the All Student Council initiated the Student Travel Advisory Board. Bob Stewart, Vancouver, B.C., senior and student body president, said its purpose is to coordinate all of the travel information offered through campus organizations by bringing these groups together to talk over their programs.
CRC Plans March for Douglas Talk
The Civil Rights Council is planning a march and demonstration at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in front of Hoch Auditorium, prior to Associate Justice William O. Douglas' speech concerning "The rule and law of survival."
"The purpose of the demonstration is to protest KU's procrastination in solving racial discrimination problems." Neil Stone, Shawnee Mission freshman and president of the CRC, said.
Stone, in a statement at last Wednesday's meeting of the CRC, quoted James Cook's book, "The Segregationist," which says "if civil rights organizations continue to move at the same 'deliberate speed' as they have in the past, total desegregation will take place in 9256 A.D."
"University communities have the responsibility in our society of inducing the highest human potential, significantly shaping its social attitudes, and returning it to the society-at-large embodied in influential citizens. Students working for civil rights find their efforts hampered by administrative policy and attitude. This is especially true at KU." Stone said.
"The civil rights issue at KU centers around two problems: (1) segregation in off-campus housing, and (2) segregation in campus organizations, e.g., fraternities and sororities. The All Student Council has been unable to pass major legislation in either of these areas due to administrative veto and sub rosa pressure. Conferences with campus officials has proved virtually fruitless. Thus, I feel immediate direct action is necessary," Stone said.

Schilling Air Force Base was chosen as the site due to availability of existing structures. The base is scheduled to be shut down by June 30,1965.

1. Hitting the books?
No, I was just thinking about what to give Sue. It's our anniversary.
2. You're not even married.
We've known each other three full weeks.
3. You give a gift every week?
We try to remember the important dates,
4. Isn't that overdoing it a bit?
Not when you're in love.
5. You'll be broke before you get to the altar.
Oh, we're very practical. Sue gave me a pocket pepper grinder and I gave her my B+ theme on Parental Attitudes Among the Arawak Indians.
6. If you really want to be practical, why don't you get a Living Insurance policy from Equitable—and give her security. That way, when you get married, you'll know that she and the kids will always be provided for if something should happen to you.
Swell idea. Now, what do you think she'd like for National Crab Apple Day?
