Seating Clause Dropped On New Certificates
The statement on the back of the student certificate of registration has been altered to allow a possible charge for student admission at basketball games next year.
The previous student registration card said, "This Certificate of Registration and your KU ID Card entitles you to admission to unreserved seats for regularly scheduled inter-collegiate basketball games. . ."
The card now reads, "This Certificate of Registration, together with your KU-ID Card, qualifies you for admission, at such student rates (if any) as may from time to time be charged . . to intercollegiate athletic events - within the limit of seats made available for a particular event."
THE DEBATE over student admission prices to basketball games began last year when plans were announced for expansion of Memorial Stadium. Part of the money for this expansion was to be raised by charging students admission at basketball games.
When the All Student Council representatives said their constituents were against the move, Bill Robinson, Great Bend junior and student body vice-president, mentioned a responsibility to the ASC as well as to the constituents. a Dec. 1. 1965 Kansan reported.
Robinson said the council could not go back on its stand last spring to support whatever steps were needed for student expansion and to provide adequate basketball seating.
THE NIGHT after this ASC meeting, three KU law students tried to gain admission to the basketball game upon presentation of ID's and a Student Court order which said, "Admission shall be allowed on presentation of the current fee receipt."
The ASC Student Athletic Seating Board was then ordered by the Student Court to revoke its recommendation that a charge be placed on student admission.
Only those students who had bought the $4 season tickets were admitted to the game, despite the Student Court decision.
Wade Stinson, KU Athletic Director, said that the Athletic Department would not feel bound to change its policies even if the resolution by the Student Seating Board were revoked, the Dec. 6, 1965, Kansan said.
Stinson said the basketball seating plan, with the charge, would probably go into effect in the 1966-67 term, since the ASC recently passed a resolution supporting the plan.
This Certificate of Registration and your K12 ID Card entitles you to admission to unlimited seats for regularly scheduled inter-college basketball games (reservations three days in advance are required for the December doubleheader), track meets, and college sports events.

Stone Moves To CRC Helm
By Jack Harrington
Neil Stone, Shawnee Mission freshman, assumed the presidency of the KU Civil Rights Council at a meeting Wednesday night in the Kansas Union.
Stone, CRC vice-president before last night's meeting, took office when no nominations for president were offered from the floor. Eight members were present.
STONE SUCCEEDS Sherman Stimley, Jackson, Miss., senior who was elected in January. He resigned to devote more time to studies, Stone said.
Succeeding Stone as vice-president is Beth Cox, St. Louis, Mo., sophomore, from the office of treasurer; treasurer now is Annette Johnson, Kansas City freshman, from the office of secretary.
Mrs. Eileen Wilcox, Lawrence senior and editor of the CRC Newsletter, was elected to the office of secretary.
Stone outlined the problems which the CRC will work on during the spring semester, in addition to the issue of Negro civil rights:
- Student government—the fact that students do not actually govern.
- Students required to spend too much time in courses and hours that do not relate to their fields of interest.
- "In loco parentis," the University acting as the student's parent.
Viet Nam Withdrawal Only Rational Course
Arthur Schlesinger Jr. last night retraced the thousand days of John F. Kennedy before plunging into an analysis of the current situation in Viet Nam.
More than 1,500 persons listened in Hoch Auditorium as the former presidential assistant discussed topics from Kennedy to Viet Nam to Red China with eloquent ease.
SCHLESINGER:
Kennedy recognized that the American people suffer illusions that impede the effectiveness of our foreign policy, Schlesinger said. "We must face the fact that the U.S. is neither omnipotent nor omniscient.
"THESE ILLUSIONS play a part in the history of our involvement in Viet Nam," he continued. "The sad story of Viet Nam policy now is like that of a
Schlesinger said he thought the only rational course, nevertheless, is the one which President Johnson, the Pope, and British Prime Minister Wilson have articulated. "This is a negotiated solution which would lead to eventual United States withdrawal—withdrawal with honor."
The historian said he was bothered by the impression of close comradeship at the Honolulu conference between President Johnson and the head of the "military
man rushing into quicksand to rescue another and sinking deeper himself."
moralizing, a beleaguered people.
"Bombing is a cruel selt-deception. The steady increase of bombing attacks is not bringing a solution to the war in South Viet Nam but, instead, a stalemate at higher and more perilous levels."
HE SUGGESTED that policy makers not rush into a decision by considering something inevitable. If there is a single outstanding factor about history, it is its "inscrutability," Schlesinger said.
WORLD'S BIGGEST
"This is not a problem that has to be solved in the next 10 minutes," he continued. "And the

Soviet Airliner Crashes
MOSCOW —(UPI)— A Soviet TU114, the world's biggest commercial airliner, crashed into a snowbank on takeoff here today, killing most of the 48 persons aboard.
Airport sources said the plane, which can carry up to 235 persons, tried to take off in a snowstorm, failed to gain altitude, hit the snowbank at the end of the runway and exploded in flames.
SOVIET OFFICIALS refused to confirm or deny the crash, and, in line with Russian policy, no official statement was expected. The accident
was reported, however, by airport sources. The plane was on an inaugural flight of a run from Moscow to Brazzaville in the Congo republic, which is the former French Congo.
committee in Saiqon that we dignify by referring to as the government of South Viet Nam."
Before the crash, Tass, the official Soviet news agency, had announced "Soviet specialists" were aboard. One of them was Vyacheslav Bashkirov, director of international transport for the Soviet airline Aeroflot.
The authoritative publication, Jane's All the World's Aircraft, lists the TU114 as the biggest and heaviest commercial airliner. It says about 20 are now in use.
"THE WORST part of the Honolulu trip was the extent to which the personal prestige of the U.S. President is now tied to that of South Vietnamese Premier Ky. In fact, the whole tableau of an American president going to Honolulu and summoning the leaders of South Viet Nam can only reinforce the viewpoint that this is basically a colonial war, a white man's war—rather than a war for Viet Nam nationalism," he said.
The Pulitzer Prize winning historian commented on the intensive bombing above the 17th parallel by United States jets by recalling that World War II showed bombing a nation had the effect of rallying, rather than de-
problem should be considered from a perspective rooted in this century."
Kennedy believed that as hopeless as the world was, it was made by men and could be saved by men. Schlesinger said. "He lifted his generation out of dissolution and gave it a new purpose of hope. He set the guide for the years to come.
"The future makes the past," he said. "What Kennedy has left behind as his legacy is our opportunity."
