Wescoe criticizes draft in Washington alumni talk
WASHINGTON - Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe sharply criticized American draft policies, particularly as they affect graduate students, in a speech before KU alumni here.
"We are mortgaging our future," he said. "Drafting graduate students should not happen in total mobilization. This ridiculous policy of drafting the oldest first is taking away our best."
Wescoe said KU officials have not been able to determine exactly what effect the draft will have on next fall's graduate enrollment. But he said it would not be so great as had been anticipated.
The chancellor expects a reduction in enrollment of about 300 students in the graduate school
next September. The School of Law should lose about 20, he said. Commenting on enrollment in general, he said 1,200 out-of-state applicants for next fall had to be turned away.
Wescoe attributed much of the student unrest on college campuses to the fear of being drafted. He also blamed today's permissive and affluent society.
The college students of today, Wescoe said, have a sense of immediacy about them, wanting to participate now instead of waiting, and they question the relevancy of the university and its programs.
He also noted that much of what the students say is true and much of what they want done should be accomplished.
Date change for cap, gown
Graduating seniors have until May 25 to pick up their cap and gown coupon receipt at the business office in Strong Hall.
The previous May 18 deadline has been extended because a large number of seniors have not picked up their coupon yet. Mildred Clodfelter, assistant secretary-treasurer of the Alumni Association, said. No senior may check out a cap and gown for commencement exercises without turning in this receipt.
Last Kansan
With this issue the University Daily Kansan ends daily publication for the 1967-68 academic year.
During the summer the Kansan will publish twice weekly—every Tuesday and Friday. The first issue of the Summer Session Kansan will be out June 11, the second day of summer classes.
The Kansan will resume daily publication September 17—the Tuesday after classes begin.
Caps and gowns may be obtained 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 1 and 3-5 p.m. June 2 at Hoch Auditorium. The receipt must be reclaimed when the cap and gown is returned after commencement exercises. A late penalty of 50 cents a day will be charged after 8 a.m. June 5. Any unclaimed receipts will indicate the individual has not returned his cap and gown and will not be mailed a diploma.
Seniors who have paid their senior fees need only show their senior identification card at the business office to pick up their coupon receipt. Those who have not paid their senior fees must pay a $4.50 year-end fee. This entitles class members to a cap and gown, admittance to the senior breakfast and covers a share of the class gift.

DAISY HILL PRE-FINAL SKYLINE
Logan eyes Senate race
By Gary Murrell
Editor of the Kansan
The dean said he has sent associates throughout the state for the past several months to determine the strength of his support.
Logan's resignation will not be effective until July 1. He plans to join the law firm of Payne, Jones,
"I am convinced I have sufficient financial and political support, however, to make a pretty good race for the seat," he said.
James K. Logan, dean of the School of Law, said Thursday he is seriously considering running for the senate seat to be vacated by retiring Sen. Frank S. Carlson, R-Kan.
Logan, a Democrat, said he will not announce his decision until he has conferred with party leaders.
Logan met with Gov. Robert B. Docking shortly before April 18, when he announced his resignation as dean, but would not comment on the conference.
The lights of Daisy Hill glow into the night as residents burn the midnight oil in preparation for KU's two-week final session. For many graduating seniors, this is the last time they will go through the end - of - the - semester testing period. Graduation events will begin June 1 and run through June 3. See story, page 3.
Docking's decision to seek reelection and not enter the Senate race cleared the way for more thought about running, Logan said.
Also mentioned as possible candidates for the Democratic senatorial nomination are John A. Snittiker, undersecretary of agriculture, and William Robinson, a Wichita lawyer.
Schnittker, a former professor of agricultural economics at Kansas State University, made public the possibility of his running during a special press conference at the 21st Annual City Managers School here April 25.
"I resigned to become more actively involved in government," Logan said. "I wanted to be in a position to act more independently than a college administrator can."

support Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, D-N.Y., for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Robinson, whom Docking mentioned last Saturday at a speech in Kansas City, reportedly supports Vice-President Hubert Humphrey.
Logan has not mentioned his presidential favorite, but he is expected to support whoever the Kansas delegation to the national convention backs this summer.
Because he is unknown to many Kansas voters, Logan said a massive television campaign would be necessary.
He believes his academic qualifications, including post-doctoral law degrees, make him attractive to the voting populace.
Schnittker also said he would

K-State student rights also considered for fall,'68

The issue at that university, however, is not one of student membership on a faculty Senate. It is press coverage.
Student rights—a swelling cyst in the side of most major college and university administrations—has taken a turn for the better at Kansas State University.
Last Tuesday, the K-State Faculty Senate approved press coverage—on a "trial basis"—for next fall's Senate meetings.
According to an article in Wednesday's K-State Collegian, the student newspaper, Faculty Senate members included in the measure stipulations that the meetings could go into closed "executive sessions" at any time, and
that only the Collegian editor write Faculty Senate stories.
According to Ambrose Saricks, professor of history and chairman of the KU University Senate Executive Council, however, it is not the primary issue here.
Press coverage is not an "issue" limited to K-State.
The U.S. Weather Bureau predicts partly cloudy weather and light northerly winds today and tonight. High near 70, low near 45. Considerable cloudiness and a little warmer Saturday. Precipitation probabilities 10 per cent tonight, 20 per cent Saturday.
"Of prime importance now," Saricks said, "is the matter of student membership on the Senate."
WEATHER
Saricks indicated that with the introduction of student membership on Senate committees, the question of press coverage would then come under "more serious consideration."
"Up to now, there has been no formal discussion concerning press coverage of Senate meetings." Saricks said.
The majority of Senate members at K-State have been called "rather conservative," in their opinions concerning press coverage.
Senate meetings at KU have always been closed to the public.
Faculty Senate meetings at K- State have been closed for the past 15 years.
The term "faculty," in reference to the K-State Senate, is sometimes a touchy matter to some administrators.

Hall personnel staff offers new services
By Jerry Bean
Kansan Staff Reporter
Last in a Series
Coupled with changes in facilities for next year, the student personnel staff of the residence halls is making adjustments and offering new services.
These changes include an administrative representative from the dean of men's and women's offices in each college-within-the-college hall and a graduate student psychologist to "counsel in some of the halls."
"This further allows us to bring the classroom learning experience into the residence unit," McElhenie said. He pointed out that classes are already meeting in Oliver and Ellsworth Halls.
A student may have his college administrative offices within his own unit next year, Fred McElian, assistant dean of men, said.
Facilities for classrooms within residence halls would allow greater flexibility in class schedules. McEilenie predicted.
"If you didn't want an 8:30 Saturday morning class, you might be able to attend an evening session in your hall." he said.
The guidance program will be expanded next year "as best we can." McEhlenie said. He believes enough personnel and facilities can be arranged because it seems to be a benefit to students.
"If students find there is someone from the guidance bureau in their hall they might feel inclined to take advantage of it," McElhenie said. Plans don't include a guidance counselor in every hall.
The role of the men's residence hall counselor has become more specialized and his duties are becoming more specific. With professional help from a guidance representative, and a member of the dean of men's staff in the hall on a half-time basis, the counselor has more responsibility removed from his shoulders.
"He plays an advisory role to student organizations on the floor. For the most part counselors have been selected because of past experience in a leadership capacity and we feel they can pass on to others who have the potential for leadership," McElhenei said.
He is now seen in four main roles by the dean of men's office: advisory, informational, problem spotting, and hall control.
A second role is that of serving as an information link to the men on his wing.
"I don't think we look upon him as a catalog of information but he has to know where students can find answers to their questions." McElhenie said.
Another role is the maintenance of an alert to student experiencing problems.
