Alderson said, "The
University is not in any role and does not intend to be of approving or putting a stamp of approval on any housing for men. I look upon the housing list as a convenience for the
student, but I think it should be clearly understood that there are limits to which the University can go in investigating these properties. It is my belief that students today do not want the

University to get too paternalistic."
In order to list housing with the University, the landlord must sign a form letter entitled "The University of Kansas Regulations and Policies for Student Off-Campus Houses, Apartments and Sleeping Rooms." In signing this letter, the landlord agrees he will not practice discrimination and will comply with state and city housing coes.

Syntactical error in Tuesday's UDK
The world at your feet
Senior men do not look forward to graduating. No one will give them jobs; they are poor business risks because soon they will "go."
This writer can not find too much good to say about the end of this school year.
Due to a syntactical error in Tuesday's University Daily Kansan, Daniel Ling, associate professor of physics, was incorrectly quoted as saying, "I am a typical landlord in the general area where I own property." The quote should have read, "I am an atypical landlord in the general area where I own property."
Senior women are frustrated because many of their friends or good friends or husbands will be gone in a few months; they too are not looking forward to graduation.
No one really can tell who it hurts more. But the pain is almost an unbearable one. The pain is there for most; the moans are silent and held within.
Dave Awbrey, student body president, announced there will be a meeting some time before the end of finals to discuss the budget and Senate standing committee appointments.
It is this silence that is a ghastly reminder of our nation's most pressing, most frustrating, most discussed problem.
It is a problem that most students try to forget about as long as they can. Some do not like the protests because it reminds them of what they must do after they walk down the hill and they know that they can do nothing about it.
It is like a terminable disease that you get when you are 18, and the young men and women must live with the disease as it spreads year after year.
But you can not ignore the symptoms: as the years go by, the parties and good times are not really that good, and the school work seems less important or relevant because everyone knows what you are going to have to do anyway.
But then, when you think about it (and think about how many times you have shoved that thinking about the disease to the back of the inside of your head . . .), it never was any fun.
It is not fun any more.
We can talk about how there are a lot of people who are in worse shape than we are. But when we tatalk about these people, graduation is still a long way off, and we still have plenty of time to pity ourselves.
This year will not be a good one. Good buy

Editor-in-chief apologizes to Goodyear, Gregg Tire Co.
Good-bye.
The articles in question appeared in the Kansan May 1 and 12. They were reports of a crusade by John Mullen, Deerfield, Ill., sophomore to obtain adjustments on a set of new tires he had purchased.
"First of all, I want it made clear that the Kansan has no evidence for believing the charges made by Mullen about 'false advertising and shoddy material' are true," Yates said.
Ron Yates, Shawnee senior and Kansan editor-in-chief, today issued an apology to the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. and the Gregg Tire Co., Lawrence Goodyear distributor, for articles involving them.
"The Kansan does not confirm the validity of these charges."
In explaining the May 1 story, Yates said the articles appeared because of "bad news judgment in editing and reporting." Yates said all staff members involved were reprimanded and a private apology was made to Goodyear through the Gregg Tire Co.
In response to the May 12 story, Yates said, "Myself and the Kansan staff involved apologize for repetition of the unconfirmed charges made about the Gregg Tire Co. and the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co."
Yates said he received a letter

Hansen said a great amount of evidence given would not be admissible in any court of law. For example, he said, it was never established how the sound system was damaged, he said. A witness said he thought it was the defendant's intention to do damage.
Wilson said, "We have given this (hiring of a building inspector) a lot of thought. The University does not have the money and I don't think I would recommend the hiring of an inspector."

Each witness has been asked to give the intention of the students charged and their opinions, he said. He said he seriously questions whether the board was granting the students "due process of law."
