Seat sales move at a steady pace
TICKET TIME
At $5 a person
Those football ticket lines are forming again at Allen Field House. IBM cards, IDs and $5 in hand, students have been filing by the ticket office "steadily" since Monday morning when the student tickets went on sale.
Official tabulation of students who ordered tickets will begin at the end of this week. Wade Stinson, athletic director, declined to make a rough estimate at the present number ordered.
He emphasized that those who order early will receive the best seats in their class sections. The ticket office is open from 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily.
Prospective juniors are scheduled to place orders today and sophomores tomorrow. KU marching band members have reserved seats and should not order tickets.
STUDENTS WHO do not purchase tickets this spring will be given the same priority as new students entering next fall and may not be assigned a seat in their class section.
A drawing will be held by the ASC Athletic Seating Board to determine the seating locations within each priority group.
THE $5 STUDENT fee, the price of a one-game general ticket, replaces the $1.50 administrative charge offered to students. The new fee will be continued for "at least 15 years" said Stinson. The entire fee will be applied to the fund financing the east-side expansion of the Memorial Stadium.
Stinson estimated the cost of the addition at $550,000. The structure is scheduled to be finished by Sept.1 in preparation for the first home game Sept. 17, against Texas Tech.

Serving KU for 76 of its 100 Years
LAWRENCE, KANSAS Wednesday, May 4, 1966
Mrs. Wallace's crushing victory could head off a Republican challenge in the November general election and make her the first woman to be elected governor of a Deep South state.
Wallace supporters, expressing awe over the vote-getting strength of the dynamic Wallace Duo, immediately began discounting Republican Congressman James D. Martin's chances if he decides to challenge Lurleen.
Should Lurlee win in November the result could set up a Wallace regime reaching to 1975. The

Student dossiers were the topic of a special committee report at last night's All Student Council (ASC) meeting in the Kansas Union.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — (UPI)—Gov. George Wallace's wife rode the crest of his overwhelming political popularity Tuesday to win the Democratic gubernatorial nomination and propel her scrapy little husband into the 1968 presidential race as a possible states' rights contender.
In other ASC action, Jim Klumpp, Coffeyville sophomore (Vox-Small Men's) reported that the review week committee has met with the Faculty Senate Advisory Committee about the possibility of having a review (stop) week at KU.
Negroes, thousands of them voting for the first time, balloted in bloc against honey-blonde Lurleen Wallace but they failed to make a dent in the landslide that carried her to victory without a runoff against nine male opponents.

DARVILLE SAID THAT information in a dossier cannot be released to an employer without the written consent of the student. He also said that students may request that their dossiers be destroyed when they leave the University.

With 2,758 of 3,654 boxes reported, unofficial returns gave Mrs. Wallace 333,869 votes to 101-155 for Flowers. Former Congressman Carl Elliott had 52,980. Former Govs. John Patterson and James Kissin' Jim Folsom were among the also rans.
The appointments of Kay Orth, El Dorado junior, and Eric Morgenthaler, Prairie Village junior, to COSA were approved by the ASC.

Wallace's supporters expect that he will try again as a presidential candidate dedicated to states' rights and decentralization of federal power or seek a U.S. Senate seat in 1968.
Bricker receives the HOPE award
Clark E. Bricker, professor of chemistry, was awarded the annual HOPE award by the senior class at their annual coffee this morning in the Kansas Union.
The Honor for the Outstanding Progressive Educator Award of $100 is the only award given to a member of the faculty by students.
Bricker came to KU in 1963 from the College of Wooster, Ohio, and is in charge of KU's freshman-sophomore chemistry courses. He has initiated a new system of teaching which includes drill sessions, using equipment easily carried from lecture to lecture, and overhead projection equipment.
HE ACCOMMODATES HIS large chemistry classes by breaking the group into smaller lab sections and by further dividing the class into groups of 20 for drill sessions. He said that he knows virtually everyone of the 240 students in his lecture class by name.
"I do not know if you can improve a student," he said. "What you do is to interest him. You cannot change his intellect. If we show him a branch of knowledge, if we interest him in chemistry, he can apply his interest to chemistry instead of elsewhere," he said.
Bricker dislikes grading on the curve. "Any student who gets an A in my course will always get an A no matter when he takes the

course. If you grade on a curve you won't have that."
He said about 23 per cent of the students fail the course, but another 20 per cent have made A's and another 29 per cent made B's.
ERICKER GAVE up work with a commercial firm for the comparatively low paying job of a professor because he prefers to work with people rather than in a research lab.
He spends 50-60 hours a week with students. "We are trying to make a large class somewhat personal, to show the student that we do care," he said.
The criteria for the HOPE award are the professor's willingness to help students, success in stimulating and challenging his students to think, devotion to his profession and his contribution to the general cultural life of the University.
MAKING THE GRADE - III
Cheating; its meaning here
(Editor's Note: This is one of a series of articles about grades and grading systems at KU and the problems they create.)
He is in trouble. He has to pass the Western Civilization exam, but seriously doubts his ability to do it. Someone gives him a name, he makes a phone call, pays $20, and has an "expert" take the exam for him. He gets an "A."

She doesn't bother to study for the essay exams in a history course; she merely inserts a page
of notes into the back of her blue book and takes them into the class with her. During the final exam, she leaves the classroom for a few minutes. When she returns, she discovers that another student has taken her notes and thrown them away.
THEY ARE taking an English course in which the instructor assigns in-class themes. Several of them draw up drafts of their themes the night before, sneak them into class, and copy them when the instructor leaves the
room. Two of them get A's in the course.
Is there cheating at KU? Of course; all the preceding examples are true.
How much cheating? It's not worth venturing a guess.
For all the national attention focused on the college cheater, he remains an anonymous third person at KU. Students, faculty and administrators admit that someone cheats, but are often stymied when it comes to pinning him down.
"I WOULD LIKE to think that cheating doesn't exist at KU," said Donald K. Alderson, dean of men. "But I read the results of national surveys and know that KU isn't any different from other schools."
"I've never had any experience with cheating, and I've been teaching here for 28 years," said Marston McCluggage, professor of sociology. "I don't say that there hasn't been any cheating; but my own view is that it's not a problem."
