Docking talks to Wiley banquet
By Jerry Bean Kansan Staff Reporter
Docking addressed the group as "members of a new thinking group of Americans."
Russell L. Wiley celebrated his last year as band director Sunday night at the Annual Band Banquet in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Governor Robert Docking honored Wiley by addressing the banquet.
At the feet of these Americans, Docking laid the problems of racial unrest.
"A stronger police force is not the answer," said Docking when talking of racial violence.
"We must ask of frustrations, we need to listen to mothers on welfare." Docking said.
We must listen to the cries of the oppressed, he echoed.
We must listen to the high school dropouts, Docking said.
"We must provide job opportunities;employers should reexamine their hiring practices," he said.
Awarded were Charles Rader, Kansas City, Mo.; Charles Lawson, Muskogee, Okla.; Paul Gray, Windsor, Mo.; Wayne Erck, St. Louis, Mo.; Gale Dillehay, Kansas City, Mo., and John Braum, Mayetta.
"A delay will mean the government must do so, Docking warned.
"We must look to ourselves and face our prejudices," Docking concluded, as he addressed the band a second time as "members of a new thinking group of Americans, aware of past, present and potential."
Outstanding senior bandsmen were named by Wiley and he presented them with $75 certificates for their contributions to band.
Wiley remembered that in 1947 the band traveled to the Orange Bowl with money raised by Governor Carlson.
"If KU makes it to the Orange Bowl next year, I'll do all that's possible to help the band accompany the team," Docking promised.
After the speeches, Wiley was presented a gift of Stuben glassware from the band members.

ISP letters banned by campus officials
By Joanna Wiebe Kansan Staff Reporter
Leaflets saying freshmen women do not have to attend residence hall floor meetings were confiscated Saturday and Sunday because the leaflets did not go through All-Hall Council within each freshman residence hall.
The leaflets, which included a statement from Emily Taylor, dean of women, were slipped under doors in Oliver, Corbin and Gertrude Sellards Pearson Halls, by members of the Independent Student Party (ISP).
Leaflets distributed Saturday were confiscated after a telephone call from Mrs. Frances Ricks, assistant dean of women.
Several women students burned many of the leaflets distributed Sunday.
Many of the freshmen women thought the statement from Miss Taylor was a forgery or a lie, Gus di Zerega, Wichita junior and ISP vice-president said.
But Miss Taylor confirmed her statement to several students, including a Daily Kansan reporter, Thursday.
Attendance at floor meetings is not compulsory, she said. But it is important that the girls attend the meetings.
"It's part of the freshman girl's orientation to college." she added.
She repeated these statements several times to inquiring students last week.
Counselors and floor chairmen in the residence halls questioned about the matter do not agree.
“it's their meetings” Miss Taylor said.
"Yes, attendance at the floor meetings is compulsory," Nancy White, Stanford, Conn., freshman, a Corbin Hall floor chairman, said Thursday.
The girls in charge of the floor meetings think they have a right to enforce attendance because
Counselors at GSP and Oliver Halls were told last week that students must not be forced to attend the meetings, Miss Taylor said. No official action would be taken to tell the freshman women about this, she added.
The problem springs from a sentence in the residence hall contract which says that the girls must attend all official meetings, she said.
Hall floor meetings are not official; meetings to distribute housing applications is an example of an official meeting, she said.
Freshman women must come back to the halls an hour before
The weekly meetings, usually from 30 minutes to an hour long, include reports from Associated Women Students (AWS) representatives, social and academic chairmen on the floor, and discussion of events like Parents Day or hall dances, Terran Titus, Lawrence freshman and GSP resident, said.
the 11:30 p.m. closing time to attend the meetings.
"A meeting just doesn't start until everyone is there," many of the women report.
"If the girls think they have to attend the floor meetings they should stay away from them and see what happens," Miss Taylor said Thursday.
No mass bovcott of the meetings is predicted. Many of the freshman women questioned said they did not mind attending the meetings.
"It's not that I wouldn't come," Joan Bradley, Leawood freshman said. "I'd just rather have the freedom to choose to go to the meetings on my own."
Miss Titus said, "The girls should know that they don't have to go to the meetings if they're busy or not interested."
The purpose of the pamphlets was "kind of defeated" by not going through All-Hall Council, she added.
Carole Tregoff faces parole board Tuesday
FRONTERA, Calif. —(UPI)— Carole Tregoff, sentenced to life imprisonment for helping her doctor-lover shoot his wife to death, goes before a parole board Tuesday seeking her freedom.
Miss Tregoff, now 30, could be released next month if the board's action is favorable.
Dr. R. Bernard Finch, 50, also serving a life sentence for the
murder in 1959 of his wife, Barbara Jean Finch, has his request for parole heard next month.
Officials were unwilling to speculate whether Miss Tregoff and Finch would be paroled. The average prison term in California for those serving life sentences is 12 years.
Miss Tregoff was Finch's medical receptionist when they became lovers.
KU presses moved to new home
By Bob Butler Kansan Staff Reporter
The rooms of the University Press in Flint Hall seemed more silent today than they had been for 16 years, following the weekend transfer of machinery to the new printing building at 15th St. and Crestline Road.
Only three Linotype machines used for setting type and one Ludlow machine for setting newspaper headlines have been left in the old offices.
The University Daily Kansan will continue to be printed by the letterpress method until it is enchanged to offset after Spring Break.
Next fall the rooms left vacant in Flint, will be occupied by the department of design, which presently is located on the third floor of Strong Hall.
While the move provided hope for better printing facilities and badly needed classroom space, it aroused memories of printing offices of the past.
