Law school plans new building
Preliminary plans are being made for a $1,125,000 law school building that will allow the school to nearly double its present enrollment of 296.

$1,125,000 structure to have room for 500 students
Two locations for the new building are presently being considered.
1) The area immediately west of Y-zone parking lot.
2) The triangular plot east of Y-zone.
James Logan, dean of the law school, said $375,000 for the structure will come from the federal government's Higher Education Facilities Act.
THE REMAINING amount will come from what has been "earmarked for the law school" under the $18.6 million Council for Progress Fund Drive, Logan said.
"Depending on the availability of money," Logan said, "the building will be completed in one or two years from next September."
The pill—

DR. DALE CLINTON, the health office's presiding physician recently reported that traffic has always been heavy and has picked up lately.
Mrs. Aldon Bell, president of the local Planned Parenthood, said the organization decided last summer to hold instructive clinics, administer tests and dispense contraceptives when they learned that pills and IUD's were being dispensed at the health office without a physical examination.
"We found that some of the women we sent there to receive prescriptions for pills were afraid of the health service. They were afraid to begin taking the pills without first receiving a physical, and Clinton point-blank refused to give the tests," Mrs Bell said.
She added, Clinton wouldn't give the tests because he didn't consider them necessary and thought them to be fear-inducing for the patient.
CLINTON HAS adopted the practice of referring women who insist on an examination to Planned Parenthood, where they receive the donated services of a local doctor, Mrs. Bell said.
Mrs. Bell said Planned Parenthood here was organized to educate KU students and Lawrence townpeople on the types of contraceptives available and how to use them. Each clinic includes the screening of a movie, "Planned Families," which discusses in a "very frank" way how conception takes place and how to prevent it. The movie will be shown next week in the Kansas Union Forum Room.
Planned Parenthood has about 40 members, 75 per cent of whom are KU personnel and their wives. They have a complete stock of contraceptives which they sell at cost, cheaper than prescription prices. Almost all their patients, though, are women unaffiliated with the University.
Mrs. Bell said she didn't know why KU women made no use of their services. One KU human relations teacher who works with Planned Parenthood reported that coeds feared it because they felt it was "part of the establishment." They felt, he said, that requesting contraceptive aid from Planned Parenthood would be the same as requesting it from the University.
"It isn't that way at all," Mrs. Bell said. "Coming to us would be just as private as going to their own physician. The unmarried KU coed is, to us, just another woman."
But Logan added, "We have substantial possibilities for raising funds."
The State Architect's Office in conjunction with the law school has selected John Shaver of Shaver and Co., Salina, to make the preliminary plans.
Shaver's plans are expected to include four major classrooms, utilizing the amphitheater concept of construction, and smaller seminar rooms.
THE SEMINAR rooms will be prepared to handle the most up-to-date audio-visual systems, including video tape and closed-circuit television. One of the seminar rooms will serve as the
courtroom for student court and moot court. Also, the library capacity would be doubled to about 200,000 volumes.
Logan said that even though the new building is larger, better facilities will enable the school to handle the increased enrollment with an addition of only about five professors.
Commenting on the possibility of the Washburn University and KU Law Schools consolidating, Logan said, "I assume it is no longer a serious possibility."
He said Washburn's plans for a new law building and similar plans by KU have nearly ruled out this possibility.

YAF objects to the Sadler Report, which is required reading for the Western Civilization program here, on the grounds that it is not entirely true. The Western Civ department, acting on a recommendation by YAF, has agreed to mention another report by the Factory Commission.
YAF plans fund drive
Money raised over the summer will go toward buying on microfilm a copy of this report and YAF will present it to the library. One hundred and fifty dollars has already been pledged to the chapter for this purpose.
Raising money to complete their Sadler Report project will be the main activity of KU's chapter of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) over the summer.
