Poor sit on OEO council
Larry Ramirez, from the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO), told members of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) last night that OEO is an organization to benefit the poor.
OEO is different from most other organizations connected with the War on Poverty in that the poor are represented on the decision-making body. This way they have a direct say in what programs will benefit them most.
There are three phases represented in the body. These are the poor, governmental officials and citizens at large, Ramirez said. Officers are chosen from the area by a democratic election.
"This is a revolution," Ramirez said. "Programs are not usually representative of the people you are trying to help, but now the poor can tell officials what their needs are."
There is much opposition to the existence of OEO, Ramirez said. Many people do not believe that the poor are competent to serve on such a committee. For this and other reasons there is much pressure from local and national politicians.
OEO is principally concerned with providing basic education, medical programs and family planning, Ramirez said.
U.S. judge wantsvote for jurists
"Judges should have to face the jury of voters and be elected to their benches," an appointed judge said last night.
Judge George Templar, Federal District Judge at Topeka, spoke at a Phi Alpha Delta law fraternity dinner at the Holiday Inn.
"Great changes are taking place in practically all areas of human endeavors," the judge told the 72 members and guests. "It is the lawyer's responsibility to know what is going on because his attitude will be reflected in his practice."
He said that the way a lawyer conducts his practice and his private life will be reflected in the view the public has of the bar and court.
Commenting on the present period of revolution in the courts, which he said is often referred to as the "Revolution of the Warren Court," Judge Templar said that the U.S. Supreme Court has gone to great lengths to help the poor man achieve the same amount of equality as the rich man in the nation's courts.
Prior to the dinner the fraternity formally initiated 23 new members into their chapter. Elwyn Russell Woody, Hill City first year law student, was named the outstanding initiate and awarded a plaque.
William A. Kelly, acting dean of the Law School, presented two $250 scholarships, donated by an anonymous alumnus of KU and Phi Alpha Delta, to Charles E. Orcutt, Kansas City second year law student; and Thomas J. Pitner, Glasco third year law student. The awards were for both scholarship and outstanding service to the fraternity and Law School.

Please don't zlupf Sprite. It makes plenty of noise all by itself.
Sprite, you recall, is the soft drink that's so tart and tingling, we just couldn't keep it quiet.
Flip its lid and it really flips. Bubbling, fizzing, gurgling, hissing and carrying on all over the place.
An almost excessively lively drink
Bively lively drink.
Hence, to zlupf is
to err.
What is zlupfing?
BRITE IS A REGISTERED TRADE MARK
Zlupfing is to drinking what smacking one's lips is to eating.
It's the staccato buzz you make when draining the last few deliciously tangy drops of Sprite from the bottle with a straw.
Zzzzzll1upf!
It's completely uncalled for. Frowned upon in polite society, And not appreciated on campus either.
But. If zlupfing Sprite is absolutely essential to your enjoyment; if a good healthy zlupf is your idea of heaven, well...all right.
But have a heart. With a drink as noisy as Sprite, a little zlupf goes a long, long way.
SPRITE. SO TART AND
TINGLING. WE JUST COULDN'T
KEEP IT QUIET.
