Applications due for service exam
KU men who would like to take the College Qualification Test for the II-S deferment in the Selective Service have until Saturday to mail in their applications.
Applications are available through the office of James K. Hitt, registrar, in Room 120, Strong Hall.
ACCORDING TO THE test information bulletin the test score will provide the local boards with evidence of the student's aptitude for continued college work.
The test will be administered Saturday, May 14; Saturday, May 21; and Friday, June 3. Selection of a date is up to the testing company. KU is among 5.500 testing centers.
The test, which presupposes no schooling beyond the ordinary high school preparation for college, will not in itself determine eligibility for deferment. Scores will be used in considering the eligibility of registrants for occupational deferment as students.
THE FOUR and one-half test is of the multiple choice type. The score will be based on the number of questions answered correctly. Scores will be sent only to the Selective Service Boards.
To avoid the possibility of any unauthorized persons taking the test, each applicant will be fingerprinted when he reports for the test.
Hitt said there are 6,700 KU men eligible to take the test. Only 2.000 men have received applications so far.
ACCORDING TO THE test instructions, "An examinee who gives or receives assistance during the progress of the test will be dismissed from the examination, and his board will be notified."
Two pencils, number 2 size, an official document, preferably the Selective Service Registration Certificate, and a ticket of admission with the test center address card are required for entrance to the examination room.
At KU the testing is through the Guidance Bureau. The site has not yet been announced.
Wrestlers to study ways of saving sport
Members of KU's varsity and freshman wrestling teams will meet tonight to discuss what they can do to keep their sport on the campus.
The meeting was initiated by the players after they found out from various sources that the Physical Education Corporation board of directors is considering suspending the sport as a competitive sport.
WADE STINSON, athletic director, confirmed that the Athletic Department and the athletic board are "trying to decide the future of wrestling at KU."
Stinson said there is nothing out of the ordinary in the discussion concerning the future of wrestling since the board considers the future of all competitive sports on campus at all times.
"Presently we are trying to determine what the future of wrestling will be. We have no answer right now at all," he said.
Stinson said there is no reason to publish anything about the future of the sport right now since the board doesn't know what the status will be.
"WHY ARE people starting to care (about wrestling) now when hardly anybody came down to the field house to see them during the regular season?" Stinson asked.
Burditt (Bud) Zachary, Wichita freshman and wrestler, said interested members of the team called tonight's meeting to discuss what they can do to influence the board to retain the sport on campus.
He said they have no definite plan of action, but want to get together to find out each others' thoughts on the subject.
"I hope the boys sit down and think this thing out realistically before they decide to do anything." Gary Duff, head wrestling coach, said.

Sound of Music' gets five academy Oscars
"The Sound of Music" was acclaimed best picture of 1965—one of five Academy Awards it received. Its closest competitor, "Doctor Zhivago," also won five Oscars at the film academy's gala presentation ceremony Monday night.
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — (UPI)—Julie Christie, England's electrifying blonde newcomer, won the Motion Picture Academy's best actress Oscar for her portrayal of a woman of loose morals and ex-television star Lee Marvin won the best actor award playing a drunken gunfighter.
MISS CHRISTIE won the coveted Oscar for the title role in "Darling," an amoral girl who races through a series of squalid love affairs.
Marvin played a hilarious double role as tin-nosed killer and
Peace protester refuses to pay tax
A KU peace protestor has refused to pay a small portion of his federal income tax because of his opposition to the war in Viet Nam.
Hamilton Salsich, St. Louis graduate student and an assistant instructor of English, said he has not paid the Internal Revenue Service about $5 which he owes for taxes not withheld last year. The remainder of his tax bill had been deducted.
"THIS IS AN ACT of civil disobedience, I know," Salsich said. "I am willing to go along with the U.S. government if governmental decisions are morally correct. However, I oppose this war because it is an immoral atrocity."
Salsich has written the district IRS office in St. Louis to inform it of his decision. He has not received a reply from the IRS.

drunken gun slinger in "Cat Ballou."
"IF I AM GOING to demonstrate against the war in Viet Nam, I don't understand how I can support the war financially," he said. "I am most concerned about innocent people on both sides who are being killed in the war. I want U.S. servicemen to be brought back home."
It was the first nomination and the first Oscar for both.
Salsich said yesterday the money might be deducted from his bank account-and he may be right. In Washington, the IRS announced that critics of U.S. policy in Asia who withhold taxes owed the government face attachment of their salaries or bank accounts.
The IRS also mentioned the possibility of criminal prosecution, but said it would rely on less drastic measures to collect revenue owed the federal government.

WROTE 'IN COLD BLOOD'
Shelley Winters won her second supporting actress award for her part in "A Patch of Blue." She won previously in 1959 for "The Diary of Anne Frank."
He is Truman Capote, author of the runaway best-seller "In Cold Blood." He will speak tomorrow evening at 8 p.m. in Allen Field House.
Capote is hater of violence
Between the two dates, Capote literally lived the lives of the Clutter family, Hickock, Smith and numerous residents of Holcomb. "It wasn't a question of liking Dick or Perry; that's like saying 'do you like yourself?' What mattered was that I knew them, as well as myself."
its official ending in Kansas State penitentiary's death row, April 14, 1965. It was there that the convicted murderers, Richard Hickock and Perry Smith, were hanged.
In achieving this intimacy, Capote traveled to Miami, Las Vegas and Acapulco, Mexico, following the escape route of the men who murdered for the non-existent contents of a non-existent safe. Instead of finding the riches they envisioned, Smith and Hickock ended up chasing Nancy
Clutter's silver dollar as it rolled under a chair.
SUCH DEPTH OF REPORTING reveals what Capote describes as "a tremendous amount of research and endless interviews with all those people." This technique is part of his literary theory that, "if you want to move someone else as an artist, you yourself must necessarily be deeply moved by what you are writing, but you must keep exploiting that emotion in yourself over and over and over until you can become completely cold about it, because from that area of detachment, you know exactly how to reproduce what it was that moved you about it originally."
In researching and writing "In Cold Blood" Capote exhibited the discipline which has become legendary among his friends. Said one, "he seems almost compelled
to write." This compulsion will earn him over $3 million.
TAPE RECORDINGS and written notes hampered his investigations so Capote taught himself to remember conversations verbatim. "It wasn't as hard as it might sound," he said. He would retire to a motel and, in longhand, report every word of his conversation. His concern for accuracy has led him to remark, "I am certain that I have it all perfectly. The book will be a classic."
The "classic" narrowly missed being written at all. In 1961 Capote almost abandoned his project. "I just couldn't bear the morbidity all the time," he said. "Nevertheless I didn't abandon it. I did everything very thoroughly and in the end I simply reduced it down. I built an oak and reduced it to a seed."
MARTIN BALSAM WON the best supporting actor award for his doleful characterization in "A Thousand Clowns." It was his first nomination and award.
Robert Wise was awarded the Oscar for his direction of the sugarplum musical, "The Sound of Music." He previously won an Oscar for "West Side Story" in 1961.
The award for the best song went to "The Shadow of Your Smile" written by Johnny Mandel and Paul Frances Webster.
Marvin appeared surprised but maintained his composure.
"There are too many people to thank for my career," he said after receiving the award from last year's best actress—and a nominee this year—Julie Andrews. "I think half the award belongs to a horse."
