FIVE CONTRACTORS
Make Stadium Bids
Bids for the stadium extension contract were announced Thursday by Henry H. Knouft, state director of purchases, at a meeting in the K-Room of Allen Field House.
The expansion will provide an extra 6500 seats. Wade Stinson, athletic director, said work on the expansion would be started "as soon as possible" and should be finished in time for the home opener against Texas Tech Sept. 17.
The plans call for expansion of the east side of the stadium similar to that on the west side completed three years ago. There will be no press box in the new section. Stadium capacity will be increased to 50,400.
Stinson said the extension will be paid through the increase in the price of football tickets. Student tickets have been $1.50 a season in the past; beginning this fall they will cost $5.
Base bids were made, and in case it would be decided not to have asphalt underneath the stadium expansion area, an alternative deduction was given with the base bid.
The lowest bid was submitted by M. W. Watson Inc. of Topeka. Their base bid was $517,900 with an alternative deduction of $6500.
The Constant Construction Co. of Lawrence was next in the bidding with a bid of $522,000 and an alternative deduction of $8000.
Another Lawrence company, B. A. Green Construction Co., submitted a bid of $542,000 with an alternative deduction of $6800. This company now has the contract for the new Fraser Hall.
Robert C. Dahlstrom of Topeka was next with an offer of $546,111. This company's alternative deduction was $6500.
The largest bid was made by the Martin K. Eby Construction Co. of Wichita. Their estimate was for $634,800 with a first alternative deduction of $7623.
Stinson's board of directors has made its decision, but it will not be announced until early next week.

Living Group Kitchens Earn Excellent Ratings
By Linda Sleffel
More than half of KU's organized living groups have excellent kitchen sanitation standards, according to a State Health Department survey released today.
The report, released by Dr. R. A. Schwegler, acting director of Watkins Memorial Hospital, listed 11 fraternities as excellent, 10 as acceptable, three as marginal and three as inadequate.
TEN SORORITIES were classified as excellent, one as acceptable and one as inadequate. Among university residence halls, 14 were listed as excellent, four as acceptable, one as marginal and one as inadequate.
The survey reported than one probable active case of tuberculosis had been discovered among employees. J. J. Wilson, director of residence halls, said the man was sent to his home in Arkansas for treatment the same day the routine chest x-ray showed the
disease He had been employed in the kitchen of McCollum Hall for two months. Wilson said.
Dr. Schwegler said that several other persons with questionable x-rays were being examined.
THE THREE FOOD facilities of the Kansas Union—the cafeteria, the Hawks' Nest and the catering service—each received 11 demerits.
Watkins Hospital had the only kitchen at KU to receive no demerits.
The average number of demerits for fraternities was 25. Sororitis had an average of 15 and residence hails an average of 18.5. Any facility with 20 or less demerits is classified as excellent and those with 21-30 are acceptable.
These averages compare favorably with an average of 42 (inadequate) for a summer survey of the entire state and of 27 (acceptable) for a more restricted survey of Wichita, Dr. Schwegler
estimated that the average home would score in the 40s.
IMPROPER DISHWASHING and garbage disposal, inadequate toilet and washing facilities for employees and lack of thermometers in food storage areas accounted for about 90 per cent of the demersals. Dr. Schwegel said.
Other demerits were for serving milk from gallon or half-gallon containers instead of individual ones, condiments left uncovered during serving hours, trash on floors of employees' bathrooms, inadequate containers for soiled linen, and food temporarily left uncovered.
DR. SCHWEGLER said he did not regard even inadequate facilities as threats to student health. Many of the demerits were given for "trivial" practices, or for practices which were not actually representative of the food service.
Wilson and Mrs. Lenoir Ekdahl, administrative dietitian, agreed that the conditions in a kitchen at the time it was inspected may not reflect the usual standards.
Student Concern Fills Last Days
By Kathleen Vaughn
Her last days were plagued by the pain of an incurable illness—yet her concern for students and teaching never faltered.
She treated students as individuals and encouraged them to not give up studying. These characteristics made up the personality of Rosemary Marzolf, 44, assistant professor of art history who died Wednesday morning of cancer in St. Paul, Minn.
A sponsor of the Catholic New-
Prof. Marzolf, who was ill with cancer before joining the KU faculty in 1963, made students and her work for the Spooner Art Museum her main thought, seldom mentioning her illness. However, she told Miss Sally Schultz,
(Continued on page 8)
"SHE RECEIVED HER doctorate late in life," said Martin Poe, Edgerton senior. "This is one reason she could sympathize and encourage students in studying."
Prof. Marzolf worked as an editor for the museum and was also writing a book about the life of 17th century artist Juan Carreno when she died. "Before she went back to her home in St. Paul at the end of last semester, she was still mentioning coming back to teach at KU next fall. She would not give up, although she knew she would not be cured," said Miss Schultz.
secretary of the Art Museum, that she was never out of pain.
Wilson said that sanitation standards were constantly being improved by better equipment.
HE ALSO emphasized the human element in sanitation. The best equipment in the world can't make up for poor housekeeping, he said. "We can't let down one minute in fighting contamination." Mrs. Ekdahl said.
Among precautions taken are requirements for regular chest x-rays for all food handlers, alertness to colds and infections, use of hair nets and plastic gloves, and strict insistence on hand-washing.
Considerable cloudiness tonight and Saturday with a chance for light snow is predicted by the U.S. Weather Bureau. It will be turning colder tonight and Saturday. Low tonight near 10 degrees.

SDS to Demand Policy Statement From Chancellor
By Eric Morgenthaler
To clarify administration views on a variety of topics, members of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) will present a questionnaire to Chancellor Wescoe Friday. Feb. 25.
"It will be a way to get things started," said Jim Masters, Mission graduate student and SDS member.
"OUR GROUP has a lot of questions about why the university does certain things. There is a need for us to establish initial contact with the administration, and we shall use the questionnaire as the focal point for issues."
The idea of the questionnaire originated in a meeting of the SDS Thursday night in the Kansas Union. Twenty-three persons were present.
After an extended discussion of in loco parentis, the group considered student-administration conflicts in general. As discussion progressed, the idea of the questionnaire was conceived.
Masters was appointed to draw up the list from questions submitted by persons present at the meeting. It will be presented at Thursday's SDS meeting, and on Friday an SDS group will take it to the administration.
Questions will be of the "what is your policy on . . ." type.
"IT IS IMPORTANT that we not end up with a 'Come, let us discuss it together' type of climax," one member said.
"If we cannot get answers from the administration, or if we are not happy with the answers we get, then we may have to do something else." Masters said.
"This is not to be considered a list of demands. It is just a way of establishing contact. It should draw together and clarify the opinions of various groups," he said.
Several persons at the meeting charged that the administration in the past has been too vague in answering student questions on policy.
"THE DEANS always preface their answers with, 'Well, of course we can't speak for the university, but . , . ,'" said one audience member.
"We are at the stage where we must consider crystallizing things in definite form." Masters said, "We want yes or no answers from the university. We want to get them to speak."
No definite plans for a follow-up to the questionnaire have been developed. It is hoped, though, that the Friday meeting (which will be attended by a group of SDS members) will provoke a response from the administration.

Viet Fighting Vital To Sustain Pledge
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—Secretary of State Dean Rusk told critical senators today that the nighting in vietnam is vital to show that the United States keeps its pledges and to teach the Chinese Reds that "they cannot redraw the boundaries of the world by force."
Tesuniying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in defense of administration policies, Rusk declared: "What we face in Viet Nam is what we have faced on many occasions before—the need to check the extent of Communist power in order to maintain a reasonable stability in a precarious world."
HE ALSO pointedly recalled that when the Southeast Asian Treaty Organization (SEATO) pact was ratified in 1954, all members of the committee who were senators at that time endorsed it.
Rusk declared that the "tar-reaching implications of this commitment were well understood" when the Senate ratified the SEATO treaty by an 82-1 vote.
The U.S. fight against the Communists in Viet Nam has worldwide implications, Rusk declared, because "we must make clear that the United States keeps its word wherever it is pledged."
KUSK CONTENDED that critics of President Johnson's policy overlook the point of the U.S. pledge to South Viet Nam when they contend the administration is following a "static and sterile" course which ignores international facts of life.
Chairman J. William Fulbright, D-Ark., told Rusk as he concluded his formal statement, "I wish these things appeared as simple to me as they do to you. I'm sure it's my own obtuseness."
