Now Chicago bound
These advertising majors are going to Chicago with money from their sales of "Miami Bound" buttons.
Chicago-bound students are utilizing 'Miami-bound' profits
Money obtained from the sale of "Miami Bound" buttons last semester will send several journalism students to Chicago.
The students will attend the annual regional convention for the midwestern states to represent Alpha Delta Sigma (ADS), honorary advertising fraternity, and Gamma Alpha Chi, honorary advertising sorority.
Jack Hurley, Lawrence senior and ADS president, said the group sold the 'Miami Bound' buttons during the last football season and prior to the Christmas vacation. He said the profits made on the sale of the buttons would finance the trip to Chicago April 18, 19 and 20.
Hurley said the convention will inform interested students of employment opportunities in the field of advertising, and the problems students face in advertising.
Employes at Med Center await relief from state

KANSAS CITY - The state of Kansas and Public Service Employees Union Local 1132, by mutual agreement, will await legislative action to resolve the grievances of the 566 non-professional employees at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
The restraining order which sent the pickets home and forced the workers back to work last Tuesday was dissolved yesterday by judge O. Q. Claflin of the District Court of Wyandotte County.
Judge Claflin said that the "Union employees had a moral obligation to the Medical Center to faithfully perform their duties and that the union had agreed there would be no authorized work stoppage as a demonstration of good faith.
J. Richard Foth, assistant attorney general, said the union's executive board agreed that the union would go back to work and would stay at work regardless of litigation pending.
They made the agreement public, he continued, and will await further action from the legislature.
"The union agreed to go back to work, and to stay at work," Foth said. "That's what the Medical Center, the State Board of Regents and I wanted."
"Now the union will press their demands on the state legislature. Unless there is new evidence, the case will have to pend for a while." Foth said.
The union had rejected as unacceptable Gov. Robert Docking's proposed five per cent wage increase effective July 1, and a hospital insurance provision. The proposal was included in the governor's
budget message early in February, Milton H. Bledsoe, union president, said.
A bill providing for a 25 per cent pay increase died in committee about two weeks ago for lack of support from senate and house leaders. Bledsoe said.
At that time, Bledsoe said, they told him that one quarter of a million dollars had been allocated to study reclassification of the payroll.
Since this would have delayed any change another year, the union had no choice but to call the strike, he said.
Support for the strike seems to be growing.
"Everybody that I have talked to is sympathetic," said John Schwartz, Salina third-year medical student.
The student association was one of the first groups to publicly support the non-professional workers.
KU Law School program recruits minority students
The University of Kansas School of Law has set up a program to recruit minority students with disadvantaged backgrounds into the law school said Walker Miller, assistant professor of law.
"This program is designed to give financial help to students and to devise ways to overcome the handicap of grade point average and the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT)" Miller said.
"Special scholarships for minority group students with the emphasis being placed more on need than on scholastic achievement are available," Miller said.
Scholarships are available from the law school for those who qualify as minority or disadvantaged students.
In order to help the student overcome the hurdles of g.p.a. and the LSAT, the law school suggests the Council on Legal Education Opportunity (CLEO).
CLEO was set up in 1967 by the American Bar Association, Association of American Law Schools, the National Bar

Association, and the Law School Admission Test Council.
"This program is designed to establish summer institutes across the country for introductory courses in legal education for students from disadvantaged backgrounds." Miller said.
Students can receive full scholarships to attend these institutes, which involve a four to six weeks training period. In some cases, participants are given a stipend for summer earnings lost because of attendance.
"If a student successfully completes the CLEO summer program," Miller said, "he will be admitted to the Law school even if he does not meet the minimum grade point average or LSAT score requirement."
"In addition we are developing our own special policies and programs including the following: adjustment of admission requirements (the one absolute requirement is an undergraduate degree); tutorial
"If we are to have a just society, the law school must produce a sufficient number of leaders with training in the law who are drawn from and will represent the needs of each and every segment of society be it rich or poor, black or white," he concluded.
Miller said that the Law School is committed to the CLEO program and will accept as many graduates from the program as it could take.
assistance and active recruitment," Miller said.
Bombing hearing set for today
He added that the convention would teach students the particulars of national advertising campaigns.
Larry Green, 21, charged with destruction of private property in connection with a fire bombing incident on the University of Kansas campus, was scheduled for a preliminary hearing today in Douglas County Court.
Green also faced charges in the tossing of a bomb March 4 at the Jayhawk cafe, a student gathering place several blocks off campus.
Four bombs were found in and near the Military Science building early Feb. 21. Only one of the four ignited. It caused minor damage to the office of Marine Col. John Lanigan.
"The convention will be a series of meetings and lectures," Larry Rosenberger, Lawrence senior and past president of ADS said.
"The lectures will deal with how to get a job with an advertising agency, how to write television commercials and what specific jobs in the field deal with," he added.
"One topic we think will be interesting is 'The Black Man's Story in the White Man's World of Advertising,'" Hurley said.
"That is a topic which is up with the times."
Members who are scheduled to attend the trip are: Hurley, and his wife, Karen; Rosenberger, senior; Gray Montgomery, Kansas City senior; Tom Lusty, Nutley, N.J., senior; Oscar Bassinson, Creve Coeur, Mo., junior; Art Boehm, Orchard Park, N. Y., senior; Kay Groves, Sterling junior; Carolyn Fenoughty, Osawatome senior.
