Draft worries English graduates
There may be a shortage of English instructors next fall because of the new draft policy that does not exempt graduate students.
George J. Worth, chairman of the English department, said the
Students who have picked up the first edition only need their yellow receipt card. Students who have not picked up their first edition must show their KU ID card.
The yearbook staff has requested more applications for Hill Teacher. The deadline for applications is Friday. Students, instructors and deans of the schools are encouraged to submit an informal letter of application telling why the instructor should be honored as a Hill teacher.

JUNCTION CITY—(UPI) President Johnson may attend the dedication of the Milford Reservoir near here May 18, John D. Montgomery, dedication general chairman, said Tuesday.
LBJ may attend Milford dedication
Montgomery said Gov. Robert D. Docking was told at the National Governor's Conference in Washington last week that the President would try to make the trip.
"Some of them might even become nervous about the draft and enlist." Worth said.
He said the shortage of instructors will be less critical in the English department than in some of the other departments in the University. A large number of the instructors are women, veterans and advanced graduate students, who are ineligible for the draft. He said there are also a number of people in the Lawrence community the department can call to teach freshman English classes.
Worth said some of the English instructors are collecting funds to help Sen. Eugene McCarthy in his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination as a form of protest against President Johnson's draft policy.
Worth said there are about 100 graduate student instructors in the English department this semester.
Worth explained he would not know the precise effect the draft will have on the number of instructors until next fall.

Lawton advocates raising parking fines
The chairman of the Traffic and Security Committee thinks student parking fines should be raised until students are afraid to commit violations.
Keith Lawton, who is also vice-chancellor of physical plant operations, went on to say that a car is a convenience and a privilege, not a right.
"KU students should be thankful the University has no regulations restricting them from bringing their autos with them," Lawton said, "With increasing traffic problems, I foresee a long range possibility of such restrictions. A car is not necessary to an education."
Meanwhile, the owners of the

Dr. Judd urged the U.S. to try to weaken North Vietnam and change Ho Chi Minh's will by
By Carla Rupp
Ho Chi Minh, president of North Vietnam, is not only out for victory in Vietnam but also for control of the world—as are all Communist revolutionaries, Dr. Walter Judd, former Republican Congressman from Minnesota, said Tuesday afternoon in a speech on the "World Crisis" in the Kansas Union Forum Room.
Dr. Judd said Mao Tse-tung advises Ho Chi Minh to continue the bloodshed in Vietnam because the U.S. will eventually weaken if they try to gain a Communist revolution through violence and deception.
"That's what we should have done four years ago. Although Goldwater wasn't my choice or my party, if he had been elected president in 1964 the U.S. would have won the Vietnam war in three or four months," Dr. Judd said. "Because Goldwater advocated using our total armed capabilities, North Vietnam wouldn't have been able to build up their opposition."
He said an American soldier should not give his life in Vietnam if the U.S. government does not do its utmost to defeat the enemy.

If the U.S. is to prevail and win the war, Dr. Judd said the country must hold and strengthen South Vietnam, employ a Kennedy-type blockade on North Vietnam, be more effective in bombing important military targets and destroy North Vietnam's food supply.

7,982 registered student cars run the risk of paying fines from $2 for the second violation to $4 for the third, $8 for the fourth, and $16 for each additional violation.
After five violations, the campus patrolmen have the authority to tow the violator's vehicle—for which the violator must pay $15 in addition to his fines.
"Without taking money out of the students' pockets I feel there would be absolute holocaust," Lawton said. "I feel KU students can't be trusted to park at a place which would be in the interest of the rest of the students."
"Hitting them in their pocket-books is the only means of teaching them self-discipline. The University should charge the violator so much money that he will fear dipping into his pocket for more. The fines at KU should be even stifter. Only then will the University teach the violator that he must conform to the regulations we have set down."
Lawton is of the opinion that automobiles get in the way of the
student who is trying to obtain an education. "We encourage a student to be a pedestrian," he said. "That's why there's no need for a residence hall student to park at a campus zone. The administration is trying to let the student have his cake and eat it, too."
Although Lawton refused to give the amount of money collected or a breakdown of where the fine money goes, he admitted that since no money is appropriated by the Kansas Legislature or the Board of Regents towards the running of the Traffic and Security Office or towards the construction of parking lots, all parking fines collected go directly into a traffic fund.
"Fine money is used solely for parking operations and kept in a separate fund," he said.
Lawton said KU has appealed to the Legislature many times for money to build parking lots, but said the Legislature considered educational buildings more important than parking lots.
Arrests trigger tension in Omaha as fires erupt
OMAHA, Neb. —(UPI)— The arrest of a star Negro basketball player and five companions triggered new tension of Omaha's near north side today as police went after vandals who set fires and broke windows.
National Guard and state police units were on standby alert.
The unrest erupted Monday night during an appearance by third party presidential candidate George C. Wallace, heightened early Tuesday with the slaying of a Negro teen-ager by an off-duty
policeman guarding a pawn shop, then subsided.
But the relative calm ended today when three police officers stopped an auto carrying six young Negroes and discovered a car load of rocks, two Molotov cocktails and a loaded .32-caliber pistol.
The youths were booked under a 1967 state antiriot law making it a felony to possess explosives.
Those arrested included 18-year-old Duane Dillard, 6-7 center for the state's top-ranked Omaha Central High School basketball team.
