Herbert A. "Hub" Meyer Jr., editor and publisher of the Independence Daily Reporter, was named the 1969 Kansas editor of the year at the annual William Allen White Foundation luncheon yesterday.
In accepting the citation, Meyer spoke of his humorous journalistic difficulties as a KU student in 1932-36, and what he has tried to do with his newspaper. Clyde M. Reed, editor and publisher of the Parsons Sun, made the citation and told how Meyer acquired the rank among the "journalistic immortals of the nation."
Warren K. Agee, director and founder of the foundation and dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism, spoke of the school's tremendous growth and urgent needs.
Also present were Senator Frank Carlson, James Surface, provost, foundation trustees, and newspaper editors from all parts of Kansas.
His father, Herbert A. Meyer Sr., owned the Independence Reporter where young Meyer started as advertising manager. When senior Meyer was elected to Congress in 1946, Hub's
Russo identifies Clay Shaw
NEW ORLEANS (UPI) Dist. Atty. Jim Garrison's star witness testified yesterday he heard Clay L. Shaw, Lee Harvey Oswald and David W. Ferrie plot a three-man assassination of President John F. Kennedy, with one man acting as a "patsy."
Perry Raymond Russo, a 27-year-old former insurance salesman who now drives a cab in New Orleans, pointed a finger at him and identified him as the man he knew as "Clem Bertrand."
He said "Bertrand," Oswald, who went by the first name of "Leon," and Ferrie discussed the assassination in detail in New
Students stage beer 'drink-in' at Wichita St.
WICHITA (UPI) — With the shout, "This is the moment of truth," and a spray of beer, Wichita State University student Ron Holmes started a campus drink-in yesterday.
Holmes, chairman of the Committee for Students Rights, which is calling for a student referendum on the question of beer on the campus, made the shout at 12:30 and promptly opened a can of beer just outside the Campus Activities Center.
Onlookers, estimated by some at 400 and others at 1,000, cheered.
Campus police warned anyone caught drinking on the campus would be arrested, but had not taken action when the 30-minute demonstration ended.
However, James Rhatigan, dean of students at WSU, said the names of the drinkers had been taken down and disciplinary action is planned.
Holmes' committee wants beer, of the 3.2 per cent variety which 18-year-olds may drink legally in Kansas, sold on the WSU campus.

Meyer told what the newspapers were all about and what editors are here for in his acceptance speech, "I haven't tried to charge windmills but I do strongly believe in speaking up for what I sincerely consider to be right and in the best interests of the community and area my paper serves. I have never regretted it."
Agee gave a progress report to the Foundation about his progressive journalism school. "Rated 14th in size last year, the William Allen White School of Journalism ranks eighth now," said Agee. The school has added three sequence programs for its 353 graduate, junior and senior students in photojournalism, public relations and magazines.
"The school is doing one thing to get minority groups involved in journalism," said Agee. "Negro students will join the 80 or more high school students in our pilot program, the journalism summer camp."

Agee didn't neglect the school's shortages, however. He presented the need for more space in broadcasting and graphics, and warned that additional faculty is needed to keep up with the fifteen to one student/instructor standard set by the American Foundation of Journalism Education.
