Anderson Defends Kansas Liquor Laws
TOPEKA — (UPI) — A storm appeared to be brewing today over liquor laws and their enforcement in Kansas.
Anderson charged that Hart, who advocates the sale of liquor by the drink in open saloons in his platform, "was indiscret in using the picture taken of a formal state function for political purposes."
Gov. John Anderson, started off the morning by denouncing his Democratic opponent, George Hart of Wichita, for circulating pictures of him (Anderson drinking sake in Japan.
AND ACROSS THE HALL, Atty Gen, William Ferguson announced that he is preparing a case to test the legality of private key clubs where liquor is available by the drink.
Gov. Anderson said the picture was taken during his good-will visit to Japan "at the moment someone had proposed a toast to the governors."
ANDERSON, WHO SEEKS his second term, told the news conference, "Kansas does not want open saloons. Our present liquor laws, properly administered, are the best in the nation."
He added that he has conferred with the attorney general on the problem of so-called key clubs and when the "time comes something will be done about them."
Atty. Gen. Ferguson confirmed that his office has been studying the lines between strictly private clubs and the so-called private clubs where a "temporary" membership can be obtained for a small fee.
To date there has not been a
JKF Asks Speed In Integration
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — President Kennedy today urged government officials, educators, community leaders and parents to redoubled efforts to speed integration of public schools.
In a telegram to the fourth annual education conference of the Civil Rights Commission, Kennedy said such an effort was needed "if constitutional rights are to be vindicated and public education strengthened..."
The President praised a number of communities that had started a peaceful and orderly transition unmarried by racial discrimination.
Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, in a speech before the conference, echoed the President's remarks. He said the United States would not assume the leadership of the entire free world until this country "moves ahead in the field of civil rights."
The Attorney General lauded a number of Southern communities for their peaceful desegregation programs. He specifically mentioned Memphis, Atlanta and Dallas.
He also made a public plea to officials in Prince Edwards county, Va. and the state itself to open the schools on an integrated basis. He said the Prince Edward situation was one of the most serious problems and noted that 1,600 Negro children were out of school.
Weather
Generally fair and slightly warmer this afternoon and tonight. Friday partly cloudy and warm. Low tonight 40s northwest to near 60 southeast. High Friday in the 80s.
Supreme Court ruling on the line between a private and an illegal club. Ferguson's proposed test case might bring about such a ruling.
"WHAT WE ARE concerned with are those clubs where liquor is served, but which are not actually restricted to real members," Ferguson said.
He remarked that private or no, the sale of liquor by the drink anywhere in Kansas is definitely illegal and indicated he would check
on one Topeka membership club for possible violation of the liquor by the drink laws.
According to Ferguson, the primary problem rests with key clubs and other organizations where a person can pay $1 or a similar fee and be admitted and sold liquor.
Legitimate clubs restrict their membership, Ferguson said, and each member brings his own bottle to the club and receives his drinks from that bottle.
CRC Questions Poll Objectivity
By Dennis Bowers
The Civil Rights Council last night decided to have the Human Relations Committee questionnaire, recently distributed to 4,000 students, analyzed for objectivity.
Brian Grace, HRC chairman and Lawrence sophomore, said in a telephone interview last night the CRC decision is only rattle-rousing and that the HRC has "a perfect right to go back on its word." He said, however, that nothing had been guaranteed to CRC members in the first place in their efforts to have the questionnaire changed.
Charles Menghini, Pittsburg senior and co-chairman of the CRC, said Grace was "misinformed" when he made a statement Monday that the questionnaires were never contested by CRC members.
GRACE SAID MONDAY, that the final copy of the questionnaire, as it was printed, was read to Menghini and other CRC members and that no
protests were made until after the questionnaires were printed.
Menghini said, "I protested this the first time they read the questionnaire. I believe that on question 4 a person would naturally choose a fraternity's taking care of the matter instead of the University. The other members of the Human Rights Committee know that the questionnaire was not drawn up as they promised it would be."
Menghini said that almost all the CRC members had objected to the questionnaire as it was read and that "we thought we had arrived at an agreement" (with the HRC to change the questionnaire).
Donald Warner, Winfield junior said. "I know there are several of us who talked to Grace before he printed the questionnaires."
GRACE REPLIED flatly, "They're lying" when he was told of the CRC action. He said, "I think all they're (Continued on page 12)

WilsonHasWatched KU's Dorms Expand
By Ron Wilcox
Thick piles of blueprints were stacked neatly on the long tables. Pictures and sketches of new, modern buildings were lying on chairs and tables. A few were framed, hanging on the walls.
This description may bring to mind an architect's office. In this case it is the office of J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories at KU. In these blueprints and sketches are to be found KU's housing program for the enrollment increase expected during the next few years.
MR. WILSON HAS BEEN DIRECTOR of dormitories since 1954. That
Oral Polio Vaccine Program May Be Started Here Soon
KU students may take part in a county-wide program of oral polio immunization with a new, pleasant-tasting liquid before school ends.
There are three different kinds of polio and a different kind of oral vaccine must be given for each one. Type 1 oral vaccine will be administered from May 7-11 in time for KU students to participate in the program.
TYPE 1 VACCINE IS FOR THE variety of polio which has caused 89 per cent of the polio cases in the past five years in Kansas.
The other two administrations of the oral vaccine, Type 2 and Type 3. will be given June 4-8 and in November respectively.
The waiting time between the second and third administrations of the vaccine is necessitated by the fact that oral polio vaccine is not recommended for usage during these particular months "because of interferences caused by other viruses in the intestinal tract during July through October."
Studies to date indicate that the oral vaccine is much more effective than the present Salk series of three inoculations.
THE MASSIVE PROGRAM, aimed at immunizing Douglas County completely against polio, will make it the only Kansas county in which the program will be activated on such a large scale.
Dr. Raymond A. Schwegler, a physician at the University Health Service, said that University
officials were still unclear about how the vaccine would be administered to KU students and that "a lot of things are pretty indefinite." A secretary to Dr. Ralph Canuteson, director of the health service, indicated that the vaccine might be given in stations throughout the campus. However, nothing, she said, had been definitely decided.
Dr. Schwegler said University officials will be unable to give the whole vaccine series because of the May to November time span required.
IN A MASS IMMUNIZATION PROGRAM OF this type, it is important for everyone under 60 years of age to obtain the vaccine, regardless of how many Salk polio shots they may have received in the past.
Dr. Schweegler said the oral vaccine will be given on top of the Salk shots.
The oral vaccine consists of about a teaspoon per person of a pleasant-tasting liquid which will be provided in individual paper cups throughout the county.
The U.S. Public Health Service has established that the oral vaccine is safe and effective. The vaccine contains viruses which have been treated and altered in such a way as to prevent their ability to cause polio.
To date, over 5 million doses have been given in various field trials throughout the country and over 100 million persons have received the vaccine in other countries.
year enrollment at KU was approximately 6,000. Joseph R. Pearson and Carruth-O'Leary dormitories were in the incipient stages. Lewis, Templin and Hashinger Halls were dreams.
In 1954, former Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, housing officials and Mr. Wilson looked into the future and what they saw was a need for housing for the 10,000 students they expected on campus by 1960.
Today, Mr. Wilson and other officials are looking toward even more expansion. Ten-story dormitories, each with quarters for 630 students, may soon become a reality here.
Mr. Wilson has been connected with the University more than eight years. On July 1, 1949, he stepped down from his position as manager of the Lawrence Rapid Transit Bus Co. to become business manager at KU. He resigned that position on Jan. 1, 1952, and returned to the transportation business for two years. In 1954, he accepted the job of dormitory director here.
HASHINGER HALL, THE UNIVERSITY's newest dorm, is nearing completion and will be ready for occupancy this fall. Mr. Wilson reports that a new dorm will be built just south of Hashinger and will be in use by 1963. Still another dorm in the same area is planned and may be completed by 1965.
Mr. Wilson was born in Pittsburg, Kan., July 29, 1914, the son of Clyde and Jessie Wilson. He attended grade school and high school in Pittsburg, In 1933, he entered Kansas State Teachers College in Pittsburg, attended the freshman and sophomore years, but did not graduate.
IN 1935. MR. WILSON MOVED to Lawrence and married Mary McDonald of Pittsburg in the spring of 1936. The Wilson's have two daughters, Cathy and Linda.
The dormitory director leisurely leaned forward in his chair and gave a rundown of all University residence halls and houses and when they were opened. The list started with Corbin Hall in 1923 and ends with Hashinger in 1962.
Te termed the money situation a "problem" in building residence halls. He said that the University's only way to gain additional money for dormitory needs is through gifts or state funds.
Mr. Wilson said if the University is able to rely on a combination of gifts, tax funds, and borrowing power to finance dormitory construction, the system can be enlarged.
