Friday, February 16, 1968 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 7 ISP raps compulsory floor meets, favors pill handout The Independent Students Party (ISP) pledged Thursday night to attempt to eliminate all compulsory floor meetings in women's residence halls. Six students, mostly freshman women, attended. The president of ISP also called for the dispensing of birth control pills to KU coeds by the University Health Service. Floor meetings should be voluntary because girls sometimes No license tags unless tax is paid Rogers said he sought the opinion after a "small number" of out-of-state and foreign students had protested paying Kansas personal property taxes, because they paid out-of-state tuition at KU. State law requires proof of personal property tax payment being shown before a license tag can be purchased. Kansas Attorney General Robert C. Londerholm has ruled out of-state and foreign students attending KU must show proof of personal property tax payment before purchasing 1968 Kansas license tags. Linderholm's opinion on proof of personal property tax payment, announced Wednesday, was sought by Douglas County Assessor Darwin Rogers. Londerholm said students who have no residence in Kansas must list and tax their automobiles in the county in which the school they attend is located. Kansas residents are taxed in their home county.

As a result of a meeting at Oliver Hall last week, eight ISP representatives at Oliver planned to petition the All-Student Council to eliminate the compulsory floor meetings, but instead, posted notices around the hall, Monge said.

"Enough girls signing the petition would get the compulsory meetings eliminated," Monge told the freshmen from Gertrude Sellards Pearson and Corin Halln. "This is a dorm-by-dorm effort, not an ISP effort," he said. "This is something that might be able to shake up some of the girls," Monge said. "They will be able to find out a little bit about ISP," he said.

The group emphasized they felt the floor meetings are discriminatory because they are not compulsory in men's residence halls. "The dean of women is never going to improve your living conditions unless you let her know you want them improved," di-Zerega told the women. The ISP members keep their meetings on an informal level.

Student grooves with Indian art By Mike Shurtz Kansan Staff Reporter The culture of India seems to be the latest freak-out among the flower children, but while many try meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi a KU student has turned his hand to two forms of ancient Indian art-batiking and tie-dying. Gregory Walstrom, Topeka senior, who has worked with both types of art for the past year, was inspired by a former KU student, Madame Fathia Khalifa of Egypt. She received her master's degree in design last spring and is now free-lancing in New York. The technique used in tie-dying is to tie the string or rubber bands tightly — usually around white cotton or rayon cloth. Objects can also be tied into cloth to create different designs. After the tying is done, the cloth is dunked into cold-water dye for an hour, then dried. The areas tightly wrapped with the rubber band or string resist the dye while the parts of the cloth left out soak it up. The result is different designs formed by the tying and dying. Walstrom plans an exhibit of his art at his apartment this weekend. Walstrom said he used such objects as animal bones to create different designs. "You are never certain what types of designs you are going to get but after doing this for a while I find certain techniques usually give me a special type of design." Batiking works on the principle that dye will not affect areas of the cloth where wax has been applied. Walstrom paints hot wax onto the cloth. After it dries, he immerses the cloth in the dye for an hour. He then takes an iron and melts off three-fourths of the wax. The remainder is removed by soaking the cloth in gasoline. These steps are repeated several times using different colored dyes, resulting in layers of designs formed by the wax and dye. Comparing the two types of art Walstrom said: "Batiking gives one an opportunity to make somewhat more exact designs while tie-dying is not representational." After the batkins and tie-dyes are finished and dried, they can be used for any number of things. Walstrom has mounted some on cardboard with glue and framed them. Curtains, dresses and tablecloths are only a few ideas. Walstrom has been covering his bathroom walls with a black and gold tie-dye print. Walstrom won an award for one of his batiks in the 14th Annual Kansas Designer-Craftsman Exhibition held in the Kansas Union last November. He also demonstrated tie-dying at the Atchison Art Association last June. Walstrom is not certain about his future plans but said he would like to free-lance in New York after graduation in June. "I don't know whether it will work out, though." Teacher exams set for April in Topeka Washburn University, Topeka, has been designated as a test center for administering the National Teacher Examinations April 6. College seniors preparing to teach, and teachers applying for positions in school systems that encourage or require applicants to submit their scores on the National Teacher Exam along with their other credentials, are eligible to take the tests. Teachers asked to volunteer aid Mrs. Sylvia Bailin, a board of directors member, said interested persons should come to the Center, 708 Elm, at 10 a.m. Saturday. She also invited children, first grade age and above, who want training in such subjects. Similar classes were taught last year, Mrs. Bailin said, and schedules for new classes will be set Saturday. The Ballard Community Center of Lawrence is seeking volunteer teachers to instruct classes in arts and crafts, sewing, cooking, music and woodworking.
