Unofficial poll reveals coeds want no closing
By Karen Henderson
KU women want more liberal closing hours, according to a poll taken of 16 of the 22 organized living groups and two unorganized groups.
As a preliminary to the All Women Students (AWS) regulations convention, meetings were held in the living groups to indicate to delegates how each group feels about the proposed regulations.

There was unanimous support of freshman closing hours. One group favored closing hours for the first semester only.

Some living groups wanted no closing hours for sophomores, but the majority wanted closing hours with some favoring later hours. One sorority had a three-way split about keeping the same hours, having later hours and having no closing.
Some kind of junior key system of a possible junior key was favored by all living groups questioned. The women in one scholarship hall said keys should be a privilege and could be based on a certain grade point.
NONE OF THE groups wanted closing hours for seniors. Three

The married women's delegation supported later hours for freshmen and no closing hours for sophomores, juniors and seniors, said Margaret Frailey. Lawrence senior and delegation chairman.
Unmarried-unorganized women returned only 31 of the questionnaires, said Kathy Powell, Garnett senior and delegation chairman. From this response they wanted later hours for freshmen and no closing for juniors and seniors.
ASC revises seating rules
By Jack Harrington
A revision and clarification of the Student Athletic Seating Board (ASB) bill was passed at the All Student Council (ASC) meeting last night in the Kansas Union.
Jim Klumpp, Coffeyville sophomore (Vox-small men's), chairman of the ASB and author of the amendment, said that the existing bill and its amendments were vague and impossible to fit together.
The old bill contained no provision forbidding transfer of ID's, Klumpp said, and violations such as "reserving" a row of seats and persons entering the field house early without any ticket at all were impossible to enforce.
Klumpp added that, according to the old bill, appeals for disciplinary action could only be made within five days after the violation. He explained that if a dean took longer than five days to rule on a case the student had lost his chance for appeal.
"Next fall, the students will occupy a new addition to the stadium financed by student ticket sales," he said. "The least the ASC owes the students is a set of clear, enforceable rules to protect their rights to the use of the stadium as well as the field house." According to the amended bill, it shall be a violation to:
- In the case of reserved seating plan, to reserve two or more seats with one ID card.
- Sell or transfer a reserved ticket or other ticket of admission to athletic events for purpose of admission of the transferee.
- Enter the stadium or field house more than one and one-half hours before game time, unless employment requires presence during the pre-game hours.
- The bill states further that violators will have their ID's removed and disciplinary action
- Refuse to vacate a seat reserved to another student when requested to do so by the ticket holder of the reserved seat.

The KU Band will not accompany the KU basketball team to Lubbock, Texas, for the NCAA Midwest Regional Basketball Tournament Friday night, Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts, said last night.
In reply to this action, a resolution urging Dean Gorton to reconsider his decision was adopted by the All Student Council (ASC) at its meeting last night.
"A GOOD MANY MEMBERS of the band are tied up with other trips—more than they have time for," Dean Gorton said. "We felt that this would take them out of school more than necessary."
He added that the band is already scheduled to take time out
for a band tour, events in connection with KU's centennial, and other engagements. "It was decided that they should stay in class this time," he said.
THE ASC RESOLUTION was introduced by Dick Darville, Shawnee Mission junior (Vox— large men's).
Darville explained that the arrangements for the band trip have already been made by the Athletic Department, including transportation and lodging. He said the trip would be paid for by the Athletic Corporation and therefore would not be a University expense.
The resolution was adopted unanimously by the council.
Guest Russian-born actress reveals a life of adventure
By Kathy Vaughan
Late in the evening after rehearsals for the KU production of "The Bed Bug," Russian-born Catherine Hiitonen-Ziablowa told of the travels and experiences that preceded her stage "comeback" at KU. She is on leave from the Swedish National Theatre at Helsinki.
Her love for the theater and for traveling has taken Madame Ziablowa through Europe and South America since her first major role in Russia in 1915. She still keeps the poster from the play, which shows her name printed in heavy black letters.
AFTER LEAVING THE RUSSIAN stage in 1924, Madame Ziablowa worked throughout Europe where she met and married a Finnish diplomat. She visited
many countries as the Charge d'Affaires and Minister's wife, and now prefers ocean travel on cargo ships to luxury liners, which she calls "large hotels."
Madame Ziablowa interrupted her acting career to become a nurse during World War II and was decorated for her action on the front lines. She reflected on this as just something that had to be done. "There was no time to be afraid with so many wounded and dying who needed attention," she said. When she finally rested after three days of working at the front, she slept through a bomb attack without realizing what was happening.
During the meeting of the League of Nations in Geneva and the 1930 Disarmament Conference, Madame Ziablowa assumed the role of journalist and interviewed many world diplomatic leaders.
MADAME ZIABLOWA came to the United States in 1958. Shortly afterward, she was hired by Maine's Oak Grove School on her reputation as winner of a European university theatre groups competition in 1957 in Finland for her direction of Thornton Wilder's "Happy Journey."
Resuming her work at the Swedish National Theatre in 1960, Madame Ziablowa said she soon felt that she must return to America,"where there is a blessing for me." She said she hopes that this, her third trip to the United States, will give her the opportunity to see more of the country and the people while teaching and directing at various universities.
