To continue program
Coed dorm successful
By MARILYN ZOOK
For the second time during a regular school year KU tried a unique living situation, coed residence halls. The arrangement was so successful that the University will continue the system of a coed residence hall next year.
McCollum Hall, formerly a men's dormitory, became coed this year when an unexpected number of upperclass women applied for residence halls. McCollum will be coed again next year while Lewis and Hashinger will remain women's halls.
MISS CAROLYN POWERS, resident director at McCollum, said after room drawings last Tuesday night, most of the women are returning to McCollum next year. Most of those who are not staying are either getting married or are graduating seniors.
"There are actually less problems in a coed hall than in a women's hall," Miss Powers, who was resident director in an all women's hall last year, said. "The atmosphere is much more comfortable and natural."
The only disadvantage most
McCollum women see is in dress
"Most girls worry a little more about how they look for meals when we eat with boys," one McCollum resident said. "But nobody really minds."

NEW ORLEANS — (UPI) — Lawyer Dean A. Andrews Tuesday filed a $100,000 damage suit in federal court charging his civil rights were violated during Dist. Atty. Jim Garrison's investigation of President Kennedy's assassination.

Proceeds from the dinner will pay for uniforms for the drill team which will compete with other Midwestern Angel Flight teams in a meet at Kansas State April 29.
Angels will usher at the Air Force band concert today, the Engineering Exposition, the SUA spring concert, and AWS honors night.

Many houses have been withholding applications thinking that the deadline was reached before spring break, he said.
INTERVIEWS will be held some time next week, Chubb said, with Vice-Chancellor Raymond Nichols. The interviews will consist mainly of "small talk" to determine the candidates' poise and personality, Chubb said.
Three contestants are selected from each of the large resident halls and one from each sorority
"I HAVE WRITTEN Hugh Hefner of Playboy magazine asking him to make the final decision." Chubb said. "So far I have not received a reply. If he accepts, we will send him a group picture of the ten finalists for his decision."
The ten finalists will be announced after the interviews next week.
