Kennedy backers may coordinate in meeting today
Since Sen. Robert Kennedy's decision to run for President and his visit to KU March 18, there have been a number of student groups who plan to support him springing up on campus.
Apparently, the various groups have not yet been able to get coordinated in their support of Kennedy.
Today, at 4 p.m. in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union, an organization meeting will take place, sponsored by the Students for Kennedy organization.
George said the goal of the KU organization should be to get together with other universities in Kansas and campaign actively for Kennedy.
Peter George, Scarsdale, N.Y., senior and vice-president of Students for Kennedy, said he hoped the meeting would attract leaders of the other Kennedy groups so one group could be formed and support for Kennedy could be more concentrated.
"We want to put pressure on Gov. Docking to keep the Kansas delegates to the Democratic convention from voting against Kennedy on.the first ballot," George said.
George said he visited the Kennedy campaign headquarters in New York City last weekend and was told by a representative that the organization would send campaign material to the Students for Kennedy group at KU. George said he hasn't heard anything yet from the Kennedy headquarters, but said he expected to shortly.
He said an attempt would be made to elect officers of the organization today.
Demonstration to feature yo-yo
A yo-yo demonstration will be presented at 1 p.m., Thursday in the Kansas Union Bookstore.
Robert Rule, the world's first yo-yo expert, will show the tricks of yo-yo-ing for a yo-yo manufacturer. He will demonstrate walk the dog, rock the cradle, thread the needle, go around the world and fall over the falls, tricks youngsters spend hours learning on the age-old toy.
Rule, 31, has been a yo-yo demonstrator for manufacturers since he was 16. He was born in Nashville, Tenn., and has lived in Kansas City for a number of years. For eight weeks in 1963 he had a weekly television show in this area.
On this demonstration tour, Rule will visit shopping centers and children's hospitals and will be on Kansas City television during the week of March 25-29.
Rule has given demonstrations on airplane flights at an altitude of two miles, in New York restaurants, night clubs, wrestling rings and at a Puerto Rican police station.
As a yo-yo manufacturer's leading attraction, Rule has toured many American cities as well as several foreign countries. He has judged state yo-yo championships.
After his appearances in this area, Rule will go to Denver for more demonstrations.
Hashinger girls lose a key
One out of ten men in Vietnam is killed or wounded during his tour. Approximately one out of ten men in Vietnam is involved in actual combat operations.
Within the last week, another key has disappeared from Hashinger Hall. This time it was apparently taken from the card-key box in the dorm, Mary Ann Ferree, Kirkwood, Mo., senior and head of Hashinger's advisory board, said.
This is the third key lost at Hashinger this year.
When a key is lost, the woman is given two days to find it. If she doesn't find it, the residence hall must install a new lock and get a new set of card-keys. While this is being done, the women must abide by the security hours set by Associated Women Students (AWS) for freshmen and sophomores.
Although each dorm sets up its own rules concerning card-keys, both Lewis Hall and Hashinger women are assessed $1 each for a new key when one is lost or stolen.
Lewis has been lucky so far this year—no one has lost a key yet. Gwen Revels, Salina junior and head of Lewis' advisory board, said Lewis had one "scare" earlier this year, but "fortunately, the girl found her key."
At the beginning of the year, Hashinger women voted to make each girl wishing a key pay $1 each time one was lost or stolen. Miss Ferree said the expense of losing a card-key is supposed to serve as a deterrent and make the girls more careful.
The first dollar was a deposit at the beginning of the year for the lock and keys used last year. That dollar was used to pay for changing the lock when the first key was lost.
When the first key was lost this year, the women were asked to pay another dollar deposit to pay for the next key that might be lost.
Within the last week, yet another key disappeared and the women paid a third dollar.
The third dollar belongs to the dorm, Miss Ferree said, and last Saturday, the advisory board
voted to return the dollar to the women at the end of the year—unless a third key is lost, in which case the third dollar would pay for another set of keys and a fourth dollar would be collected.
Mrs. John Bryant, assistant to the Dean of Women in residence, said it would cost Lewis and Hashinger about $2,000 to have a watchman sit at the desk all night to let residents in, as is done in Naismith and Mccollum.
"To set up a system like that," she said, "we would have to hire another man besides the watchman. Otherwise, we would be pulling him off his assigned job."
Mrs. Bryant said the girls on the switchboard couldn't let girls in because they aren't authorized to do it and because it would also pull them off their jobs.
Miss Ferree said Hashinger did
have a key system for senior girls several years ago which used regular keys and locks. But the women had to go through such trouble to check out a key, she said, that they switched to card-keys when AWS voted to lift security hours.
