No credit for courses
Yearbook editor's studies slip
By MARILYN ZOOK
Blake Biles, 1966-67 editor of the Jayhawker, will have to take about 40 hours during the next school year to graduate in the spring.
Biles, a junior from Hutchinson, is not going to receive any credit for his courses this semester. He was taking 12 hours but has dropped six of these hours and is taking incompletes in the other six.
Why? The main reason is that he spends from 45 to 50 hours a week at the Jayhawker office.
ALTHOUGH THE YEARBOOK began the year with a staff
of about 100, Biles does much of the work himself. Because of loss of interest, transfers to other schools, schedule changes, etc., the staff has dwindled to only 30, Biles said.
BLAKE BILES
Biles' work includes everything from typing 72 pages of index to setting up interviews with queen candidates. He has also been rush chairman for his fraternity, Delta Upsilon, this past year and will be through the summer.
However, he said the Jayhawker does not interfere with his outside activities.
"THE HOUSE is very understanding about my work on the Jayhawker," he said, "and I get a lot of help from guys in the house."
Biles is not worried about graduating with his class next spring, but he will probably have to take 20 hours both semesters. He picked up 12 hours in summer school, but does not plan to go this summer.
As far as outside activities for next year he has made no commitments. He said his first concern is getting through school and into the graduate school.
DOES HE REGRET his Jayhawker work?
"At first I was attracted by the glory and prestige, but it means a lot more than that. When you see something and you think you can do it better—you just have to try."
"Definitely not! I've wanted to be editor since I was a freshman," he said.
TO SOME EXTENT Biles has been planning for this editorship all the while he has been at KU. He said he got many of his requirements out of the way and has always taken 17 hours each semester.
He would recommend being editor of the Jayhawker to someone who has a lot of time and experience in working with people. The main advice he would give to future editors is "Don't procrastinate!"
"It interferes with your life—socially and academically—at times, but is well worth it," he said.
THE MOST IMPORTANT element, even though hours are irregular, is to get enough sleep, Biles said.
"You have to be awake to get something done. I'd rather sleep two hours and be alert than work extra hours."
Biles is an economics and political science major. He said he will probably work two weeks after school is out on the Jayhawker. Then he will be able to turn his attention to completing his work as a student.

Three KU acts to appear in 'Campus Talent' 67
By MERRILY ROBINSON
Seven KU students will be featured in two state-wide television broadcasts of "Campus Talent 67" this week.
About 13 acts will be featured in the hour-long telecast sponsored by Southwestern Bell Telephone. The seven KU representatives will constitute three of those acts.
They are: Pat Royse, Lawrence senior in theater and drama, who will sing "The Man that Got Away"; Cindy Brown, Lawrence senior voice major, who will sing the "Habenera" from Bizet's opera, "Carmen"; and a five-man combo, the "Finn-Am Five", whose members are Lee Barnett,
Clen Elder junior, Chuck Berg, Leawood graduate student, Leif Ostergard, Finland graduate student, James R. Haines, Topeka graduate student, and James Ross Bowman, Raytown, Mo., senior.
Miss Brown, who will graduate June 5, plans to go into professional opera. She has won numerous competitions, including a New York Metropolitan Opera audition in Kansas City. Mo.
THE PROGRAM WILL be telecast tomorrow at 9 p.m. on channel 13 and Sunday on channel 9 at the same hour.
She will leave for Oxford, England a few days after her KU graduation to investigate a possible singing opening there and to
visit her fiancee, Rhodes Scholar and former KU student Steve Munzer of Salina. She said her stay in England would be of indefinite length.
MISS ROYSE ALSO will graduate this spring and also wishes to go on the professional stage. She'll be able to fulfill this desire immediately with a summer-long chorus stint at the Starlight Theater in Kansas City, Mo.
The Apollo Applications Program manager will discuss the applications experiments at the KU Remote Sensing Laboratory Seminar at 3:30 p.m. today in 411 Summerfield Hall.
Apollo head will talk
"That's what I want to end up doing—musicals. But I also want to explore all the media and do straight dramatic things," she said.
J. G. Lundholm Jr., will describe how the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) plans to utilize Apollo spacecraft to perform more than
Her plans for next fall are indefinite.
50 engineering, medical and technological experiments during four earth orbit missions in 1968.
Additional missions and experiments being planned for the future will also be discussed.
Nearly $1 million in NASA supported space research is conducted at KU, most of it in the Remote Sensing Lab according to Richard K. Moore, Remote Sensing Laboratory director.
THE FINN-AM FIVE is made up of KU students majoring in law, radio-television, business, engineering and psychology. And each member, at this point, plans to enter the field of his training, rather than stay in show business.
Chuck Berg, who with Lee Barnett co-leads the group, said they are looking for a KU pianist to replace graduating and Army-bound Jim Bowman. The group will stay together until at least next February. This summer they will be operating on a tight schedule of engagements in Kansas City, Topeka, and sorority and fraternity functions here at KU.
Seminar to start June18
A seminar with the theme "The Nuremberg Principle" will be held this summer under the leadership of seven KU religious organizations beginning June 18.
Richard Dulin, minister of the United Church of Christ, said the program would deal with "the idea of the responsibility of the individual in mass society and the institutions of society."
The seminar will meet each Sunday at 5 p.m. in the University Lutheran Church for seven weeks. Members of all denominations are welcome to participate.
The program will consist of "An Essay on Man"; "The Nuremberg Principle"; "Suburban Mentality"; "The Morality of the Means"; "The Media is the Message"; "A Time for Burning" and "Consecrated Chicken Soup."
Participating religious organizations include: University Christian Movement, Lutheran Church, United Church of Christ, United Campus Christian Fellowship, Methodist Wesley Foundation, American Baptist Fellowship, and the Canterbury Association.
