Logan cleared provost rules
By CHUCK STOKES Journalism Camp Reporter
A KU official indicated that James K. Logan, former dean of the KU Law School, did not violate a Kansas Board of Regents ruling.
Such accusations were made by William I. Robinson's campaign manager, Paul Aylward of Ellsworth, Logan and Robinson, a Wichita attorney, are running for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senator.
Aylward said he had been informed that Logan broke a re-gents rule in filing for political office 10 days before Logan's resignation became effective. Aylward did not name his informant.
"The recent accusation by my
KU PROVOST James R. Surface said Logan left his KU post June 10. Logan was paid for the month of June because he had accumulated vacation pay coming to him, Surface said.
Logan testified that he had left his post as dean in good standing and answered Aylward's criticism by pointing out that KU Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe had reminded him to vacate his office immediately upon filing, and that he had done so.

KU appoints chairman for Eastern area
Richard Lansmon Spear will join the KU faculty in September as associate professor and become the first full-time chairman of the department of Oriental languages and literatures.
Spear has been assistant professor of Japanese at the University of Wisconsin the past two years and last year was acting chairman of the department of East Asian languages.
He earned the B.A. degree in Greek at Lafayette College in 1952 and for two years was a lieutenant in the U.S. Army infantry. He earned the master of arts degree in Far Eastern studies in 1960 and the Ph.D. with a major in Japanese in 1963, both at the University of Michigan. Spear remained at Michigan as lecturer in Japanese for two years before going to Wisconsin.
The KU department offers 35 courses leading to majors in both Chinese or Javanese languages. It also teaches courses not requiring a knowledge of oriental languages for students interested in East Asian studies.
of the steady diet of records they had been getting, decided to do something entertaining and worthwhile for a change.
IT WAS AN excellent show and it is too bad that it was not started earlier and no more shows will be presented. If any camper came with doubts of having a good time and seeing a great show, he left with none.
Folk songs by Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Peter, Paul and Mary; rock songs by Jimi Hendrix were dedicated to campers who were to be in the show but were removed from camp for breaking one of the four major camp rules.
MOST OF THE show was handled extremely well for a nonpaid performance and on more than one occasion, the performers received a standing ovation. Everyone performed well, with no apparent stage fright, but Phil Brown of The Smak adibled a bit too much on "Foxey Lady." He was so loud at times it was impossible to hear the song but, as a whole, he did well.
This was an example of the talent in camp which is seldom presented. Last year, there was talent just as good, but there was no opportunity to enjoy it. In future years, the camp supervisors should encourage such activity and shows like Young Prophecies '68.
Unfortunately, Young Prophecies was a one night stand. Those who attended the show will never forget the performance.

Youngberg recalls long tenure at KU
By ANN NORE
Journalism Camp Report
"Corn and alfalfa were growing where Templin and Lewis Halls are now," Irvin Youngberg said as he reminisced over his 20 years as executive secretary of the Kansas University Endowment Association.
Youngberg entered KU in 1935 as a freshman. He taught economics in the business school as a graduate assistant prior to World War II. After service with the Navy amphibious force in the Mediterranean and Pacific Theaters, he became director of dormitories at KU in 1946 and served until he joined the Endowment Association in 1948.
Youngberg, sometimes called "the Swedish ambassador to KU," said much of his life is built around his two grandchildren who are 4 and 7 years of age. He still claims loyalty to his home town, Osage City.
"WHEN I joined the Endowment Association, I had $1 \frac{1}{2}$ employees—now the staff has 22 members. In 20 years the campus—both in Lawrence and Kansas City —has doubled in area." Youngberg said.
"This morning as I walked down Jayhawk Boulevard, I noticed some of the elm trees were dying. I remember when they were saplings. I guess I'm getting old," Youngberg said.
Students basically haven't changed, Youngberg believes, but he said they do seem to be better-trained, more polite and courteous, and healthier. He feels students study harder today than in the years past because there is more knowledge at hand. He noted the complete spectrum of student attitudes present at KU are essentially as they were thirty years ago.
ADHERING TO the Endowment Association's motto, "To build a better University than the State alone can build," Youngberg's job is to encourage the con-
ribution of private funds to the University and to administer the resources which are received. In this capacity, he is responsible to a board of trustees composed of 60 alumni.
"We are always seeking to do things for others," he said of his office. Youngberg said the high point of his career has been the privilege of being associated with three outstanding chancellors and with alumni members of the Association.
opponent's state chairman must mean that I am winning. Cursory examination would verify the fact that I have left the University in good standing. I question why an outsider would bring this up except for political purposes. I can only imagine that my opponent was unaware of the charge and hope we can return to the rational campaigning that we have enjoyed until this time," Logan said.
LOGAN'S RESIGNATION became effective July 1, as announced when his plans were revealed at the regent's meeting in Hays, April 18. At that time he planned to become a partner in the firm of Payne, Jones Anderson, Martin and Payne in Olathe.
After the assassination of Robert Kennedy, his plans were changed, however. Logan, 38, revealed his political ambitions June 10, and his campaign was officially opened with a kickoff dinner at the Eldridge Hotel in Lawrence.
In December, 1966, the regents passed a resolution regarding political activity by faculty members. The resolution:
"FACULTY, administrators and other unclassified personnel are eligible to accept any public or political party position which does not involve any conflict of interest and does not require substantial time away from assigned duties or in other respects infringe upon them.
"Such eligibility covers membership on a city commission, school board, planning group or county, state or national party committees and like organizations, either by appointment or by election.
"Leave without salary or other benefits will be granted to those who wish to seek public office requiring full time or lengthy periods away from assigned duties. Congress, state and country offices and appointments to similar offices fall within this category. The ruling is effective as of the date of filing for or appointment to such office."
