Carruth-O'Leary May Be Co-ed in Fall
Carruth and O'Leary and Grace Pearson Hall are the only dormitories which may possibly change occupants this fall, J. J. Wilson, director of the dormitories, said this morning.
"Grace Pearson Hall will house men this fall (as a regular men's dormitorv)" Wilson said.
C&O is the only dormitory which has any other possibilities of changing, he said. Among the three possibilities for C&O, Wilson said the following are the main ones under consideration: all senior women; half senior women and half freshman women; or half senior women and half men.
THE DECISION will depend on fall enrollment and the applications for housing, he said.
All other dormitories are scheduled to continue as they are now. Although Hashinger Hall is equipped to house both men and women, only a freak rush of applications would make it necessary. KU had such a rush with freshman women several years ago. It then became necessary to put three freshman women to a room, he said.
Some of the reactions to the possible changes of C&O by some senior women canvassed and several dormitory men were;
Civil Rights Bill Called 'No Help'
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, D-N.Y., said today the House-passed civil rights measure was a "do nothing" bill for the Negro in the North.
In an interview with United Press International the Negro Congressman said northern Negroes had been demonstrating in protest against situations not covered by the civil rights bill now before the Senate.
He said the demonstrations, especially in the North, would continue —bill or no bill.
Powell said most northern states already have laws similar to the provisions in the bill. He noted that 34 states and Washington, D.C., had laws preventing discrimination in public accommodations, such as restaurants and movies.
The veteran legislator called the northern demonstrations exhibits of "frustration based on hopelessness"
He said Negroes have been demonstration outside the South against so-called de facto segregation, slum housing and lack of jobs.
Fowell's proposed solutions for the three main points of discontent:
De facto segregation: more demonstrations.
Housing: "Honest, municipal gov- ernment."
Jobs: Retraining and education bills in his house committee on education and labor.
Fowell also said that "rising new leaders in the North are dissatisfied with the slow progress under the old leaders." He added that perhaps the slow progress could not have been avoided.
While saying passage of the civil rights bill would not stop demonstrations, Powell said it would "stop Martin Luther King and the Southern crowd."
He apparently meant that the bill would answer many of the complaints of Southern Negroes led by King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

“Putting freshman and senior women together is not a good idea. It defeats the whole idea of separating freshman women (from upper class women). Probably a lot of people will change their minds about living there at C&O if it is co-ed, but I don't think I will (want to live in a coed dormitory),” Janice Young, Kansas City junior, said this morning.
"I DON'T think senior women and freshman women living together is a good thing. There wouldn't be enough transition between the two classes. I'm against a co-eed hall mainly because it would be inconvenient for all concerned." Judy Phipps, Independence junior, said this morning.
"That's good (the coed hall idea). I think it is quite a test of this conservative Kansas atmosphere. I'm for it." Gerald Lock, Louisbury junior said this morning.
"Well, speaking for myself, I think it's O.K. (the coed hall idea)," Gary Wilmoth, Wichita sophomore said.
"I think it's a great idea (the coed hall idea). It makes for a lot better atmosphere," Kenneth Wendel, Hoisington senior, said.
Dormitories are often co-educational during summer school semester, but this would be the first co-ed dormitory during the fall and spring semesters in several years.
"I THINK ITS a good idea (the coed hall idea). I lived in C&O for 3 years and it's a good place. It was set up for co-education ("living")." Chester (Joe) Isom, Kansas City, Mo., senior said.
Wilson said these are just possibilities, and the decision will be made when more of the applications are in and a more definite idea of the fall enrollment is reached.
Stephenson College Bowl Team Defeated For First Time In Big Eight Tournament
The answer: the basic metabolism of a cricket regulates the sound pitch.
"Why does a cricket's chirping go up in pitch in warm weather?"
But this was not part of the knowledge that Stephenson Hall, winners of KU's College Bowl competition, took to the Big Eight College Bowl contest in Norman, Okla., with them last weekend.
2nd Oldest Member In Congress Dies
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—Clarence Cannon, powerful chairman of the House Appropriations Committee and second oldest member of Congress, died unexpectedly today. He was 85.
The Missouri Democrat, a member of the house for 41 years, died at 4:15 a.m. EDT at Washington Hospital Center. Death was attributed to congestive failure, defined medically as a complication of progressing heart disease.
In spite of his advanced age—second only to that of his 86-year-old Senate counterpart Sen. Carl Hayden, D-N.M., chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee—Cannon maintained a full schedule. He was at work on up to the end of last week.
Cannon was one of the most powerful members of Congress as head of the committee which must pass first on all spending bills to come before Congress.
After working Saturday, he complained of feeling ill the next day. The hospital said he was admitted at 11:25 a.m. EDT Sunday.
The veteran Congressman, considered one of the leading authorities on the workings of the House and author of several expert publications on the subject, apparently did not appear in serious condition.
He sent word yesterday to Rep. George H. Mahon, D-Tex., ranking Democratic member of the appropriations committee, to take charge of a small pending appropriations bill.
Stephenson lost to the University of Colorado by 120 points in the second round of the three round tournament after defeating the University of Oklahoma 180 to 95.
Several questions which the Stephenson Hall team did answer correctly centered on literature topics, such as the author of the "white man's burden" (Kipling) and the inn the pilgrims stopped at in Canterbury Tales (Tabard Inn).
James Girard, Wichita sophomore, and a member of the team, said a major problem was the use of many questions from the College Bowl manual which contains sample questions of the G.E. College Bowl national competitions.
"This made somewhat of a farce out of answering the questions," Girard said. "Actually the questions were easier than those used in the Big Eight competition last year or those used this year at KU."
Another participant, Ronald Jones,
St. John senior, felt that it was in poor taste to use the manual sample questions, but that many of the areas were wide open and covered almost every topic.
Other team members were Woodrow Dale Brownwell, Kansas City senior; Gary Gregg, Coldwater freshman, and Gerald Duffin, Leavenworth junior.
Stephenson was the defending Big Eight champion and has won the KU College Bowl all three years it has been held here.
Four years ago the KU College Bowl team participated in the televised GE College Bowl quiz show in New York City. They defeated the University of Chicago to win a $1500 scholarship, but lost to Smith College for Women, Northampton, Mass., by five points.
A week later a dummy with a College Bowl sign was hanged in effigy in front of Watson Library.
James E. Seaver, professor of history and director of the Western Civilization program who is presently on leave, was the coach for the 1360 national team.
Using the title "the team from Athens-on-the-Kaw" the contestants for the televised program were selected by oral and written examinations from 150 students.
In 1961 the KU College Bowl team helped prepare the University of Oklahoma for the national competition. In 1961 they did the same by hosting a warm-up match with Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa.
