THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN

John Schnittker may seek Senate
The U.S. under-secretary of agriculture said at a press conference Friday he was considering running for U.S. Senator from Kansas.
Dr. John A. Schnittker, formerly a professor at Kansas State University and Iowa State University, said he has reached no final decision in the matter, but was still thinking about running for Senator on the Democratic ticket.
Schnittker said his final decision would depend on Gov. Robert Docking's decision about running for the Senate. Docking reportedly will announce his decision around mid-May.
"If the governor chooses to run,
I will not oppose him." Schnittker
said. He added that Docking had not indicated to him what the governor's final decision would be.
With the election of a new President in 1968, Schnittker said the entire Cabinet would follow the custom of placing their resignations on the President's desk when he took office, and letting the President choose who to keep.
If he were not reappointed to his Cabinet position or did not run for Senator, Schnittker indicated he might seek a university position in Kansas.
Schnittker again came out in favor of Sen. Robert Kennedy (D-New York) as the Democratic Presidential candidate, but added he would not take part in the campaign.
Union addition gets started
All that digging, bulldoizing and jackhammering on the west side of the Kansas Union marks the beginning of a $1 million addition which is scheduled for completion in about a year.
The three-story addition, which will extend on columns out over Baumgartner Drive so traffic can pass under it, will house an auditorium, a bookstore addition, office space and meeting rooms, according to Frank Burge, Union director.
The addition also includes a pedestrian tunnel from the Union to Zone X.
The sloped - floor auditorium will seat 600 people. he said. A branch bookstore will occupy one floor of the addition.
The office space will be for the Alumni Association and the Board of Class Officers. Various meeting rooms will have a capac-
They came from far and near, from Tucson, Arizona, to El Dorado, Kansas—and all for a Sunday afternoon reception in Lawrence.
The reception was the opening event for the William Allen White centennial seminar, "The Mass Media in a Free Society" which opened at 8 p.m. Sunday with a lecture by Ben Bagdikian, press critic from Washington.D.C.
Journalists travel far for KU seminar
Two of the first arrivals at the reception came a total of 2,300 miles for the seminar. James Boney, crime writer for the Tucson Daily Citizen, drove 1,600 miles from Tucson to be here, and Adrian Headley, assistant professor of journalism at Central Michigan State University, drove 700 miles from Mt. Pleasant, Mich.
The group gathered at the Holiday Inn was an illustrious one.

The pedestrian tunnel will run from the sub-basement of the Union under Mississippi Street to Zone X parking lot. An L-shaped parking apron will be built on the south and west sides of Zone X. The entrance to the tunnel will be in the corner of the apron.
