Pom-pon girls can make NIT trip now
Before Wednesday's windfall, lack of money had prevented any KU organized groups from going. The yell leaders financed their own trip and left Wednesday afternoon by car.
"I am Goya!" declared Adam Gillon Wednesday as he recited a Russian poem in a Kansas Union lecture. Gillon was explaining the difficulty of translating poetry into English. (See story on page 10.)
They will support the Jayhawks in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) at Madison Square Garden.
The pom-pon girls, Bilotta, and the "Jayhawk" will be met in New York by Cooper Woodring, secretary of the greater New York alumni chapter, with cars to take the KU entourage to the Penn Garden Hotel.
No money has been found to send the pep band, although Mike Davis, Hamilton, Calif., senio1, and Gary Duncan, Winfield sophomore, were appointed by the IFC to investigate the possibilities of sending the band to New York if KU plays for the championship Saturday evening.
Bilotta said the cost of sending 25 members of the band would be $1,800 for plane fare alone.
Bilotta said he has been trying to arrange for the pom-pon squad to do their Broadway routine in the Garden during halftime ceremonies and for "I'm a Jayhawk" to be played by the organist.

Architecture splits off
New school approved
By Don Westerhaus Kansan Staff Reporter
A School of Architecture and Urban Design was created from the already autonomous KU department of architecture by the Kansas Board of Regents today.
The change, from a department in the School of Engineering and Architecture to a school, will be effective July 1.
Charles D. Kahn, professor of architecture at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, was named dean of the new school. He will take office July 1.
The change was first discussed in 1959, William P. Smith, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, said, "and now is the logical time to make the change" because most other universities in this area are granting school status to architecture departments.
The change in names is only a formality, Smith said, because the architecture department has had its own staff and curriculum for several years. Offices for the new school will remain in Marvin Hall where the old department was located.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe said the presence of schools of architecture in two universities in the state will not cause unnecessary duplication.
"The University of Kansas does not intend to establish programs in landscaping architecture or related fields, where programs of quality already exist at Kansas State University." Wescoe said.
Wescoe emphasized the "Urban Design" part of the name, which he said KU is in a position to exploit because it is between Kansas City and Topeka.
WEATHER
The U.S. Weather Bureau predicts partly cloudy skies and continued cold today and tonight. Low tonight will be in the 20's. Friday should be fair and a little warmer.
--graduate work, ours is one of the few that does not have the designation of 'school.'
In his request for the change, Wescoe said, "It becomes increasingly difficult, in its present setting, to attract the type of faculty required for this program. Of architectural programs offering
"The designation of school status would entail no increase in costs," Wesco said.
Regents say yes to Wescoe's requests
By Ron Yates Kansan Staff Reporter
The Board of Regents, meeting in Topeka today with representatives of KU, approved all of the recommendations made by Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe.
In addition to redesignating the department of architecture as the School of Architecture and Urban Design, the Regents approved promotions for 79 KU faculty members and sabbatical leaves for 34. (See related stories on pages 3 and 12.)
Also approved was Wescoe's recommendation that KU be authorized to sell the 10 shares of common stock of the P. Lorrillard Company, a cigarette manufacturer, which were a gift to KU.
Ray Nichols, vice-chancellor of finance at KU, said the money from the sale of these stocks would come to about $465 and would go into the University's Chalace loan fund.
The Regents also authorized KU to purchase up to $50,000 in Kansas Union bonds during the current fiscal year. The bonds were issued in 1950 and KU is in the process of buying $15,000 worth of them at $13,800. KU can do this because the company holding the bonds is willing to sell them back to KU at a lower rate than they paid for them so they can in turn invest the money elsewhere for a higher interest rate.
The money to buy these bonds comes from the Kansas Union reserve fund, Nichols said. He said by buying the bonds, KU could save $8 per bond. The bonds are worth $100 each and KU is presently paying $52 per bond. He said there were about 465 bonds still outstanding.
In February,1968 the Regents
approved the sale of a $1 million bond issue for the construction of an addition to the Kansas Union building. Today, Nichols reported to the Regents names of firms awarded the contracts for the construction work and to whom the bonds were sold.
Stern Brothers, an investment company in Kansas City, Mo., bought the bonds at an interest rate of five per cent. B.A.Green

New dean is prof, holds four degrees
Charles H. Kahn, appointed dean of the KU School of Architecture and Urban Design by the Kansas Board of Regents today, is presently a professor of architecture at North Carolina State University.
Kahn, 42, holds a B.A. degree in mathematics from the University of North Carolina, a Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree from North Carolina State College, a M.S. degree in Structures from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Bachelor of Architecture degree from North Carolina State College.
He was graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of North Carolina in 1946 and won the Fulbright Award in Architecture in 1957.
Kahn has been teaching architectural courses since 1952 at North Carolina State University.
N.H. primary boosts McCarthy's hopes
(Editor's note: This article is part of a series dealing with the 1968 presidential race and the election process.)
By Robert Burdick Kansan Staff Reporter
Minnesota Sen. Eugene McCarthy, one time political ally of President Lyndon Johnson, announced to the Senate last November his decision to enter six presidential primaries on the Democratic ticket.
McCarthy was then considered an extremely dark horse. His chances of ousting the incumbent president were considered almost nil, but his stunning near-victory
in the March 12 New Hampshire primary brought sharp doubletakes from fellow Democrats and hasty reanalyses from political pundits—and depreciatory jibes from the President.
"New Hampshire," said Johnson the day after the primary, "is the only state where 20 per cent is a majority, 40 per cent a mandate, and 60 per cent is unanimous."
However, McCarthy, who won 20 of the state's 24 delegates to the Democratic National Convention Aug. 26, may well consider his 42 per cent showing in the primary a mandate. McCarthy said he entered the campaign as
a protest against Johnson's Vietnam policy—a protest which seems to have been vindicated by a near-majority of the New Hampshire Democratic electorate.
By entering the primaries in New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Oregon and California, McCarthy hopes to poll enough protest votes to persuade the President that his Vietnam policies are not in the national interest.
Because he is a dove and considers the war immoral, McCarthy has gained the support of many student groups. This youthful following however has been relatively unstirred by his low key campaign tactics.
McCarthy is a sensitive, intellectual man who makes his audiences think rather than exciting them with impassioned oratory. He is sure of himself and his reasons for the stand he has taken on Vietnam.
McCarthy proposes that the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam
"I am not for peace at any price," he told the Conference of Concerned Democrats at Chicago in December. "I am concerned that the administration seems to have set no limit on the price it is willing to pay for a military victory."
should be effected as soon as possible. To accomplish this he thinks the U.S. should stop bombing North Vietnam, pull out of certain areas and set a time and place for negotiations.
Because Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.) has also come out in opposition to the war, it was widely speculated in Washington after McCarthy declared his candidacy that he was just a stalking horse for Kennedy.
People argued that he and Kennedy were in a conspiracy to split the party and get Kennedy the nomination. McCarthy has consistently denied this but hasn't
