KU Religious Advisors, ASC arm CRC, SDS to aid Fair housing poll
Some KU groups plan to help with a door-to-door cavass in Kansas City Mar. 12-13 and 19-20 to obtain community support for freedom of opportunity in housing. The KU Religious Advisors, in cooperation with the All Student Council Human Relations committee, the Civil Rights Council and the Students for Democratic Society are recruiting students to take part in the campaign, initiated by the Greater Kansas City Council on Religion and Race.
Recruiting is being accomplished through campus and city religious groups as well as by different student groups on campus.
THE STUDENTS WHO volunteer will be sent to Wyandotte County.

KU took second place in the number of pilots trained by the nation's colleges and universities according to a pamphlet produced by the U.S. Department of Commerce, "Mass Production of Pilots."
By the end of the semester, 295 were to have been trained. First place was taken by the University of California at Berkeley with 410 in the program.
THE CAMPAIGN organization is formed by Catholics, Protestants and Jews.
"We hope there will be some students whose mid-term examinations do not interfere with this project," Tom Moore, member of the Religious Adviser Committee, said.
The event also will give students of different religions and races the opportunity to further their acquaintance with each other. Moore said.
Transportation will be provided from the Kansas Union at 11 a.m. on each of the four days to the area center of operation where students will receive the campaign materials and the names of streets they will canvass.
