Regents force KU to release names of demonstrators
TOPEKA (UPI)—The Kansas Board of Regents today passed a resolution directing the heads of the state's colleges and universities to suspend any student, employee or faculty member engaged in activities to disrupt the "normal and ordinary process of education and training."
The strongly-worded resolution was adopted shortly after the board received the attorney general's guidelines on the handling of campus disorders. The guidelines had been requested following the disruption May 9 of a Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC)
review at the University of Kansas.
The resolution was made subject to review and possible modification by the attorney general.
The Regents also adopted a resolution directing the acting KU Chancellor to release the names of those persons convicted by the University Disciplinary Board for involvement in the ROTC disruption.
The KU Board has withheld the names of those found guilty, although it originally released the names of all those accused with involvement in the incident.
'Regular' SDS members fight for control of organization
CHICAGO (UPI)—The "regular" members of Students for a Democratic Society have landed the first blow in what may be a fight for control of the divided organization.
The "regulars" who control the SDS national offices, press and treasury, chose the Monday wind-up of the radical group's national convention to announce their plans for the coming summer and school year and the election of one of SDS' most prominent figures.
Their opponents, the Progressive Labor Party (PLP) faction of SDS, contented themselves with an announcement of new
executives and a plea for unity.
SDS, a major contributor to last year's campus turmoil, was split down the middle during its six-day meeting here. The regulars, also known as the revolutionary Youth Movement (RYM), finally walked out of the gathering, "expelled" the PLP delegates and set up their own session.
The RYM faction announced at a Monday news conference it had chosen Mark Rudd, 22, as national secretary. Rudd, a New York City resident, played a key role in a student protest which all but paralyzed Columbia University and forced its early closing in the spring of 1968. The uprising was one of the most successful SDS ventures and left Rudd among the vanguard of the new left.
Thomas Ayers, a Michigan SDS organizer, was chosen national secretary for educational affairs and Jeff Jones, New York City, was selected as national secretary for interorganizational affairs.
The PLP elected John Pennington, Boston, national secretary; Patricia Forman, San Francisco, Interorganizational secretary; and Alan Spector, of the SDS New England region, education secretary.
escoe Hall planners appointed
Vice-Chancellor for Operations R. Keith Lawton said the architectural firm of Horst, Terrell, and Karst of Topeka has been assigned to prepare new building plans for Wescoe Hall at the University of Kansas. The assignment was made by William Hale, state architect.
Meetings between the new architects and University officials have begun, he said. The purpose of the meetings is to describe and analyze the program of work for the building. Among these needs are space for departmental offices
and seminar rooms, as well as general classrooms and other facilities.
The original plans for Wescoe Hall met with problems of increasing costs and inflation. Most bids that were submitted were too high and had to be rejected. At a spring meeting of the Kansas Board of Regents, a decision was made to abandon original plans for the building, which was to have been located opposite Strong Hall. It would have housed the humanities departments.
The new architects will be working toward acceptable preliminary plans. When they are approved by the Board of Regents, the estimated cost will be analyzed and the possible additional sources of revenue reviewed by the Board.
Lawton also said the original $5.8 million that was to come from state and federal sources is still available for the new building. This figure is less the costs of the first architectural work and other minor costs.

How are you fixed for blades?
Former Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe watches intently as his bronze image undergoes a close shave with a cold chisel wielded by Elden Teft, professor of design. The bronze sculpture will occupy a spot in Wescoe Hall, the plans for which are presently being revised by a Topeka architectural firm. Tefft also sculpted bronzes of former Chancellors Franklin D. Murphy, Deane W. Malott and Frank Strong.
KU's libraries feature exhibits
Several exhibits are presently featured at the campus libraries.
At Watson there is a book collection exhibit by Mrs. Betty Ann Bush, Rochester, N.Y., junior. The collection includes books by such black authors as Malcolm X, LeRoi Jones, and James Baldwin. The exhibit, consisting of about fifty books, is only a small part of Mrs. Bush's collection. Her collection won first prize in the annual Book Collector's Contest at KU, and second prize at the Amy Loveman National Awards.
At Spencer there are two noteworthy exhibits. The first, on the Renaissance Spectrum, is located in the special collections room. The second is on Carrie Nation, and is located in the regional history room.
