Group studies beer proposal
A student committee this summer will study the feasibility of selling beer in the Kansas Union.
The committee was appointed at the Monday night meeting of the Student Union Operating Board.
The committee was appointed for the specific purpose of studying the feasibility of selling 3.2 beer in the Kansas Union by Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of students and chairman of the Operating Board.
Committee members are Laurence Woodruff, dean of students; Bruce Peterson, Kansas City, junior; Janet Anderson, Prairie Village junior; Al Martin Shawnee Mission junior; Kyle Craig, Joplin sophomore; Bob Boyd, Hutchinson senior; and Clifford Ketzel, professor of political science.
The committee will meet tomorrow to discuss plans for talking to psychologists about the effects of this proposal. They will consider discussion with other U.S. universities which sell beer in their unions. They also plan to talk with KU officials and possibly with the Kansas Board of Regents.
The committee plans to study the 1963 report submitted by a student and alumni committee, which considered the impact of selling beer in the union.
This earlier committee studied the problem for about four months. In February, 1964, they decided to carry the investigation no further, and the issue was dropped.
CC scope grows, 4 colleges added
Four more "colleges" will be added to the experiment in freshman community living known as Centennial College next year.
The four new ones will be North College at Gertrude Sellards Pearson, Corbin College at Corbin Hall, Pearson College at Joseph R. Pearson and Oliver College at Oliver Hall. Together
with Centennial College at Ellsworth Hall, the colleges will include all incoming KU freshmen.
Greeks will begin rush soon
Fraternity men and men not in organized living groups will belong to the college geographically nearest them.
Fraternities may rush all summer, but pledging can take place only between July 29 and Aug.1. No house is permitted to pledge more than 75 per cent of its pledge class during this time, Woodsmall said.
KU fraternities will begin their hectic summer rush programs as soon as school is out.
Pete Woodsmall, Shawnee Mission sophomore and Interfraternity Council vice president for rush, said any KU student interested in attending formal rush in the fall, may register at the IFC Office in the Kansas Union.
The IFC is now attempting to win flexibility in residence hall contracts so that men pledging in the fall may obtain releases, he said.
Lists of all new students planning to attend KU next year have been circulated to fraternity rush chairmen. From this data, houses will be able to contact men all through the summer.
A committee from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has been meeting for more than two months to settle on changes to broaden the concepts of Centennial College in next year's program.
Principal planners are Centennial College director Jerry Lewis, representatives from the Dean of Women's and Dean of Men's offices and the directors of the four new colleges: Elliot Gillerman, North College; Mrs. Kala Stroup, Oliver College; William Balfour, Pearson College, and Cecil Williams, Corbin College. Lewis will remain as director of Centennial College.
Gillerman said much planning remains to be done over the summer, but the new college system will not differ materially from the experimental Centennial College.
WEATHER
The U.S. Weather Bureau predicts showers and thunderstorms for late this afternoon and tonight. Low tonight 65, and turning cooler tomorrow. Precipitation probability is 20 per cent tonight and 10 per cent tomorrow.
Bierstube public nuisance?
After submitting a petition to the City Commission at its regular meeting Tuesday, where he was told no action by the commission could be taken, Wallace Scales, 1915 Barker St., said he has given the paper back to his lawyer.
A Lawrence citizen is trying to close down the Bierstube tavern on the grounds that it is a public nuisance.
24 sign to close tavern
"I'll go along with whatever he decides," Scales said. "I just don't want to talk about it."
THE PETITION READS, "We
the undersigned wish the . . .
Bierstur be declared a public nuisance; that their beer license be revoked; and that no other establishment of this nature be allowed to open at this address in the future. . . .
"Patrons have repeatedly violated private parking in the neighborhood, and local law enforcement officers have been called numerous times because of assault, excess noise, foul language, and theft of items off automobiles. . .."
According to minutes of the
Last Kansan Today
With today's edition, the University Daily Kansan ceases publication for the academic year.
The Summer Session Kansan will be published every Tuesday and Friday during the summer term, beginning June 13.
The summer managing editor will be Robert Stevens, Junction City senior; business manager will be Tom DiBiases, Omaha junior.
Stevens said most of the reporters will be high school students participating in the journalism division of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp at KU.
The UDK will resume publication with a special enrollment week edition in September.
The newspaper plans to convert to offset printing during the next academic year, when a building to house new equipment is constructed west of Iowa Street.
commission meeting, Scales was "advised by City Atty. Milton Allen that such procedure is a matter for determination by a judicial rather than a legislative body."
"We cannot have a trial and determine whether or not the Bierstube is a public nuisance," said Richard Raney, Lawrence mayor. "Until such time as a judicial body finds it so, we can't suspend its beer license."
APPARENTLY Scales' complaint arises in connection with his ownership of an apartment house at 1400 Tennessee St., across the street from the tavern. Scales alleges that the 'Stube's customers take up his renters' parking spaces.
"I've had cars towed and put up signs. One of the signs was jerked up and thrown on a renter's car." Scales said.
Scales' petition contains 24 signatures, among them those of his father and brother, and that of James Gillespie, a pharmacist for the KU Health Service.
All the co-signers live near the Bierstube except Scales.
Scales said he has not shown the petition to the Biertube's four owners, three of whom are KU students.
Bill Hayes, Hutchinson third year law student and one of the owners, said that rumors of petitions against taverns in that area are an "annual affair" but that none of the four has ever seen one.
Juniors choose jerseys
The 1968 regalia and colors have been selected by 500 juniors, Anne Hamilton, Shawnee Mission junior and co-chairman of the Senior Sweatshirt and Regalia committee. announced yesterday.
Football jerseys were selected instead of the usual sweatshirts. The jerseys will probably be white with a green or red design.
The jersey design was submitted by Doris Eisenbrandt, La Harpe freshman.
The hats will be tri-cornered Tom Jones style in loden green or red.
THE SWEATSHIRTS committee has not decided on the motto. According to Miss Hamilton, many seniors are dissatisfied with the proposed mottos.
The motto will not be placed on the jerseys because it would be too crowded, but will be used on the senior banner.
Motto suggestions may be submitted to Miss Hamilton, her co-chairman Nancy Hagemann, Prairie Village junior, or to the alumni office at 127 Strong. No deadline has been announced.
FOOTBALL JERSEYS FOR SENIORS
Football jerseys have been selected to replace the traditional senior class sweatshirt for next year. Thejersey design, submitted by Doris Eisenbrandt, La Harpe freshman, will probably be white with a loden green or red design.
