Ad produces large response; student finds six who'll cook
Robert Jenkins, Kansas City, Mo., third-year law student, placed an ad in the University Daily Kansan, Feb. 6 and curiosity got the better of about thirty women.
The ad read: "Wanted: Coed to cook occasional meals for bachelor student tired of hamburger. Must be absolute doll with fantastic disposition. Free meals, no pay. VI 3-3455 after 3:30 p.m."
Weeding out the crank calls, Jenkins received about thirty serious responses to his ad. He ruled out ten more curiosity
Frank Marsh has the sole responsibility of alating presidential candidates in the nation's third primary of the year and second "free-for-all" primary.
seekers, and interviewed about twenty of the applicants.
The result? Nothing really definite.
LINCOLN. Neb. — (UPI) — Nebraska's secretary of state decides today whether to enter the names of Percy, Kennedy and Wallace in the state's biparty May 14 primary.
Automatic on the Republican ballot, Marsh said, were the names of Governors Nelson Rockefeller of New York and Ronald Reagan of California, the two "noncandidates" and the declared Republican candidates Gov. George Romney of Michigan and former Vice President Richard M. Nixon.
On the Democratic side would be the names of President Johnson and Sen. Eugene McCarthy, D-Minn.
Candidates to be chosen for primary
In the case of Alabama Gov. George Wallace, the state has no provisions for a third party unless the party is formally organized in Nebraska.
Wallace has not formally organized his American Independent party in Nebraska.
But Marsh said he could place a third party candidate on the ballot as a Democrat or as a Republican.
"Ive got about six girls who will actually come over—cook for me—but only when it's convenient for them and for me." Jenkins said. "There'll be no definite schedule."
Marsh said "some, but not much" consideration was being given to Sen. Charles H. Percy, R-Ill., and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, D-N.Y., on opposite sides of the ballot.
Actually Jenkins wasn't really expecting to end up with a cook in response to his ad.
"I did it all on impulse," he said.
"I really just wanted to see what kind of response I would get to an ad like that. As it is, I've made at least six new friends who just happen to be girls and just happen to be able to cook."
Jenkins was surprised by reactions to his ad. Few people were suspicious of his motives—most of them just wanted to see "what
kind of a nut would place such an ad."
Even his fellow law students didn't give him much static."Most of them wished that they had thought of it first. In fact, I even got a couple of calls from who wanted the leftovers, if I had any."
Jenkins would have no qualms about doing the same thing again. "Right now I'm trying to think of something else to put in the paper that might get an equally excellent reaction."
It's a terrible thing, but there aren't many honest solitaire players left in the world, at least 100 per cent honest. The kind who absolutely never lift up a down card for that one little peek.
By the way, when Jenkins does have one of the girls cook dinner for him, she will decide who will do the dishes.
E. Germans disqualified
"If I can get her to do the dishes, I most certainly will. But if it would prevent the loss of a good cook, I wouldn't mind getting my hands wet."
NEW YORK—(UPI)—Anybody who'd cheat in the huge would also cheat at solitaire.
East Germany did more than peek Tuesday in the Winter Olympics at Villard De Lans, France.
What East Germany did was cheat in the huge competition. Worse yet, East Germany got caught.
A luge is a small sled, similar to one used by kids, except that it's longer, heavier and has no steering mechanism or brake.
The East German women's team was disqualified for illegally warming the sled's runners to make them slide faster.
Bill to end trade union prejudice against Negroes proposed by Wirtz
WASHINGTON—(UPI) —Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz Tuesday approved a plan submitted by the nation's major building and construction trade unions to end long standing policies preventing Negrees from gaining union membership and better jobs.
Wirtz said in exchange for the long-sought union plan, he would postpone federal attempts to establish a quota system for Negro union membership.
The agreement ended more than two months of negotiations between Wirtz and the AFL-CIO Building and Construction Trades Department. Discussions began
after Wirtz told delegates to the department's annual convention in Florida that "reasonable men could reach reasonable solutions to their problems."
Although the union's plan, forwarded to Wrinz by C. J. Hagerty, president of the AFL-CIO division, hinges on local union cooperation, it was regarded as a major change from the traditional position of organized labor.
The proposal is designed to encourage Negro membership in 18 of the department's apprenticeship programs.
The unions pledged to:
Negroes might have in qualifying for various apprenticeship courses.
- Establish, with management's cooperation, recruitment programs for Negroes and programs which take into account any deficiencies
Urge its affiliates to consider appropriate means for recruiting minority group members and to advise their local unions of the "social and economic necessity for satisfactory minority participation."
To work closely with "responsible civil rights organizations."
Wittz praised the unions, some of which previously had threatened to cancel their apprenticeship programs if the government insisted on pressing them for integration. Several international union presidents had resisted federal demands for integration of apprentice hip programs.
