University group to sponsor dance at Westminster
Urban Celebration, a part of the University Christian Movement, will sponsor a dance at 8 p.m. Sunday at Westminister Center, 1204 Oread St.
Proceeds from the dance will be used for an Urban Plunge, sponsored by Urban Celebration, into Los Angeles during spring break.
"A Kansas City, Mo., band, Mystic Number National Bank,' volunteered to play for us,' said Donna Moitz, Tulsa, Okla., senior and a member of Urban Celebration.
A light show, "Discontent and Megalith Magic Light Show," is also scheduled.
Before the dance begins, a liturgy with excerpts from books and speeches by Che Guevara, Malcolm X and Tim Buckley is scheduled for 7 p.m.
"Admission is $1 and anyone can come," Miss Moitz said. "We feel that any person who comes will be benefitted. It's good to be emotional and physical."

Applegate said Cronkite had agreed to a press conference at 11 a.m., in the Kansas Union Forum Room, and would be an evening dinner guest of student members of Sigma Delta Chi and Theta Sigma Phi, professional journalism societies for men and women.
The William Allen White Foundation award is made to an American journalist "who exemplifies William Allen White ideals in service to his profession and his country," Applegate said.
TOPEKA (UPI) - The Kansas Senate yesterday passed a resolution which would provide for a study by the Legislative Council and Board of Regents of ROTC at KU and other state colleges and universities.
Senate passes 11 bills; would examine ROTC
ROTC has been a subject of controversy on the Lawrence campus, at Kansas State College, Pittsburg, and at K-State. The ROTC building at KU was recently the subject of a fire-bomb attack.
The House yesterday gave tentative approval to 15 bills, including one to permit local junior college or school boards to contract group health insurance for teachers and other employees.
In other action, the Senate tentatively approved a bill which would expand the power of juvenile court judges to handle 16- and 17-year-old offenders and gave preliminary approval to five others.
The bill, Sen. W. E. Woodward, Jr., R-Wichita, said, would give a judge several alternatives to placing a juvenile in an institution. The youth could be sent to one of the state industrial schools or placed under the state Board of Social Welfare.
The judge would also have more discretion in granting probation, he said.
Another provision would tighten the state law concerning repeat juvenile offenders. It would allow them to be tried as adults.
Another bill given tentative approval would make the sale or possession for sale of LSD and other hallucinogenic drugs a felony.
A bill sponsored by Sen. Joseph Harder, R-Moundridge, and given tentative approval would set the size of all school boards in the state at seven members.
The Senate almost killed one measure, but finally re-referred it to the Judiciary Committee for amendment. The bill would
allow landlords to obtain a court order to evict a person for non-payment of rent and require a hearing within seven days.
The main opposition to it was that it would give landlords too much power and that it violated
a person's right to due process of law.
The House also gave preliminary approval to a measure which would create a seven-member Kansas animal health board.
