Ellsworth to appear before CYR's tonight
Congressman Robert Ellsworth (R.-Kan.) will speak at 7:30 tonight in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union. Ellsworth was the spokesman for the congressmen that yesterday called for a congressional investigation of the selective service system.
THE COLLEGIATE YOUNG Republicans are sponsoring Ellsworth's speech, as well as one later in the semester by both incumbent Senator James B. Pearson and William Tarrant, mayor of Wichita. All three are running in the Kansas Republican primary for U.S. senator.
Bob Miner, Great Bend sophomore and chairman of CYR, said. "These speeches will give CYR members and interested students a chance to evaluate the candidates and make up their minds which to support."
THE CYR WILL also announce tonight their representative to the state convention queen contest to be held March 11, 12, and 13 in Kansas City, Kan. The finalists are Jodi Loyd, Newton sophomore; Patti Slider, Lyons sophomore; and Sue Tyler, Bartlesville, Okla., sophomore.
Ellsworth is now serving his third term in the House of Representatives. The 39-year-old politician received an engineering degree from KU and a law degree from the University of Michigan.
A Selective Service Forum will be sponsored March 9 at 7:30 p.m. in the Kansas Union by the All
Ellsworth Hall was named after the congressman's father, who was Alumni Secretary for many years at KU.
To answer draft queries
Africans start paper
Mortar Board awards
What may be the first monthly African student newspaper in the U.S. will begin free distribution next week, Swaebou Conateh, West Africa junior and managing editor, said.
Student Council Current Events Committee.
Two University of Kansas seniors have received the Torch Chapter of Mortar Board Alumni Scholarships for the 1966 spring semester.
THE PAPER WILL feature articles about African politics, cultural developments, and current issues of importance to both African and American students. Book reviews and a humor column will be included.
Titled the "KU-African," the paper will have an initial circulation of 300. Copies will be available in the Kansas Union, and organized living groups.
"There is a basic need for American students to know about Africa," Conateh said. He cited this as the prime reason for the paper's existence. "People ask me if Africans live in houses, wear clothes, or know about cars and telephones. It is really deplorable. We Africans would like to do something about this."
Presently it is being financed by the editorial board. "We hope readers will like it enough to donate." Conateh said.
IF THE PAPER is a success, it will be distributed on other campuses.
They are Bonnie LaMontaine, Leavenworth, and Cecelia Heine, Kansas City, Mo.
James K. Hitt, registrar, will speak and answer questions about the draft. The questions may come from the floor or from the representatives that will be sent from each organized men's hall and from each floor in the men's dorms.
Other members of the editorial board are: Girma Negash, Ethiopia junior; Emmanuel Akuchu, Cameroon sophomore; John Gidudu, Uganda junior; and Cyrus Mutiso, Kenya graduate student.
Written contributions from anyone on campus will be accepted regardless of political leanings. "We hope the newspaper becomes a forum on African events," he said.
THE ELECTION WILL be held by the various living groups Monday night.
