JAMES K. LOGAN
Candidate wants war slow down
James K. Logan, dean of the school of law, called for gradual withdrawal from Southeast Asia at a fund raising dinner Monday night.
Logan who retires from his post on June 30 is a candidate for the democratic nomination to the U.S. Senate.
On the Vietnam issue, Logan said, "We should continue help including a military presence at current levels, during a reasonable period of peace negotiations. But after such a time, whether or not peace is achieved, we should de-Americanize the war. By that I mean we should reduce American troop commitments and within a reasonable period withdraw all American troops."
LOGAN SAID that he does not support immediate withdrawal—"simply because we have made those people declare for one side or the other, and the shock of an immediate withdrawal would likely cause collapse and massacre."
The Dean had several alternatives one of which put emotion aside and brought out the only cheap way to win the war. This alternative was the use of the H-Bomb.
He said this obviously is not a
New KU building specs to builders
Plans for KU's Humanities building were given to several contractors this week.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe said that the bids will probably be due in late July or early August. He also said that he hoped the construction could start in the fall so the building could be completed in 1971.
The building will contain three classroom wings of five stories each which will be connected by glass concourses. Attached to the main classroom wing will be a 10 story office tower. The Humanities building to be built across the street from Strong Hall will be the tallest building in Kansas.
practical solution. "It risks World War III, a hydrogen bomb war, which would essentially destroy society, including our own.
"Even if we could get by without World War III we would have broken a taboo effectively operating in world policies since 1945. And I say we would be so ashamed of ourselves we would not be able to face the rest of the world—or to stand proud in our own history," Logan said.
He spoke again Thursday night in Hutchinson.

Dean Logan speaks for McCarthyites
Dean of the Law School James K. Logan spoke recently to the Kansas for Alternatives in 1968 organization at the Forum Room in the Kansas Union.
By Steve Walker Journalism Camp Reporter
This meeting was held in hopes of getting more people to help canvass for Eugene McCarthy and to allow Dean Logan to express his views on some social and political problems.
Logan said that his views on Vietnam ran closely with those of McCarthy and the late Senator Kennedy, that the war cannot be accelerated and should be de-escalated gradually to place more responsibility on the South Vietnamese government.
Religion School open to all
Logan answered questions on many of today's social and political problems. He gave his views on foreign policies, police departments, the disarming of the CIA, farm problems, racial problems and political assassinations.
When asked what he thought his chances were in the race for the U.S. Senate, Logan said that at present it was impossible to tell and would probably remain so due to the inaccuracy of polls.
New Smith Hall awaits Moses statue to complete stained glass window display
In this modern era, while young adults are reevaluating their beliefs and inquiring "Is God Dead?", many of the higher educational institutions are offering academic-related courses in the area of religion.
This interest has been displayed on Mount Oread through the new Kansas School of Religion, across from the Kansas Union.
Dedicated in October, 1967, the building was made possible by 11 different denominations, mainly in Kansas, and by contributions from foundations and individuals.
THE ACTUAL building was dedicated as the Irma I. Smith Hall in recognition of a gift, amounting to approximately $100,000, by a woman from Macksville, Kan. She was extremely interested in broadening and continuing the program.
The main feature of Smith hall is the 16 foot high stained glass window which symbolizes Moses and the burning bush. It was designed by Jacoby of St. Louis and provided by an anonymous $10,-000 donation.
A STATUE of Moses is being modeled and will be placed in front of the window. The hollow, wire structure is being created by Elden Tefft, professor of design here, and some of his students. The window is the first structure on the KU campus to include a

depiction of this segment of the university's great seal.
Byron C. P. Tsangadas, a specialist in Byzantine and early Greek civilization, has been appointed visiting assistant professor of history at KU for 1988-69.
Teal blue carpeting and wood paneling are the decor in the contemporary design of the building by Charles Marshall of Marshall and Prickett, Topeka.
Tsangadas, a native of Michigan, is completing work for the Ph.D. degree from the University of Michigan.
Classroom sizes are varied, with the smallest holding about 50 and the largest, a circular amphitheater with a capacity of 360. This room will also be used for theater in the round. The walls are covered with burlap sections which will be used to display original religious artifacts.
The library, open to any University student, contains books concerning every facet of religion. It can also be used for studying, along with the study alcove.
The new building is designed for later addition of another story
and some basement space has been left unfinished because of the expected enrollment which will rise to 2,000 in another 20 years.
The school, which now offers 25 hours of credit courses for KU students seeking bachelor of arts degrees, has qualified to provide a master of arts in religion degree that the University awards. The degree would not be a professional or seminary type of degree but the master's should be valuable for students who want to relate religion to their field, such as future pastors, and persons who plan to work on a Ph.D.
William J. Moore, dean of the Kansas School of Religion, said his school's purpose is educational rather than evangelical; informative rather than inspirational.
