Chief Justice Tom Thompson, Atchison third year law student, issued a temporary restraining order against the ASC elections committee.
GREEK WEEK COURT—Martha Parmley, Wichita senior, was crowned as Greek Week queen last night. Her attendants are: Mary Morozzo, Council Grove junior, standing at the left, and Carolyn Eymann, Atchison sophomore, standing at the right.
Thompson said in his opinion that the petition to recall Peggy Conner, Sacramento, Calif., senior and representative from the large women's dorms, did not state the reasons for the recall.
Marsha Dutton, Colby senior, who circulated the original petition which recalled Miss Conner, said after the hearing she would default the trial Monday night.
ACCORDING TO THE ASC constitution, no reasons are needed for a recall from a certified 25 percent of the district.
Council Recall Petition Voided by Student Court
Miss Dutton said she would circulate a new petition on the grounds of "inadequate representation and present it to the ASC Tuesday night.
Lawrence, Kansas
The petition to recall a representative on the All Student Council was ruled void by the chief justice of the Student Court yesterday.
Contacted later Miss Conner said they would have difficulty proving her representation had been "inadequate."
"It will show this is a maneuver without a strong basis and she is afraid to face facts," Miss Conner said.
If ASC election chairman Dick King, Kansas City sophomore, certifies the new petition as representing a valid 25 percent of the district Miss Conner will be recalled again.
Unless Miss Conner appeals and asks for an emergency hearing on the new petition, the election for her replacement will be held in conjunction with the regular spring elections Wednesday and Thursday.
"IF MARSHA DOESN'T show up for the trial on the first petition she is taking a weak stand," Miss Conner said.
Miss Conner said she did not know at this time what her further course of action would be.
"I will show up at the trial Monday night to contest the original petition," Miss Conner said.
Two candidates have filed applications for the special election. They are: Beverley Nicks, Detroit, Mich. sophomore, Vox Populi, and Judith Berlaug, Sierra Guadarrama, Mex., sophomore, University Party.

CRCC Demonstrations To Be Made in Silence
THE CHARIOT races, which had been scheduled to be held on Campanile Drive, are being held on Naismith Drive because the other events have been moved to the field house.
The civil rights demonstrations to-morrow will be silent ones.
George Ragsdale, Kansas City senior and chairman of the Civil Rights Coordinating Committee, made this announcement last night as the CRCC completed plans for its Greek Week protests against racial segregation in fraternities and sororities.
THE FIRST demonstration will be a picket of the torch lighting ceremony in Topeka, and the second will be a picket of the Greek Week chariot races.
Ragsdale said the demonstrations will be silent in order to minimize the possibility of violence. During the picket of the Sigma Nu fraternity last Saturday, the demonstrators sang freedom songs while they marched.
Ragsdale said he thought singing might tend to agitate some of the spectators.
The demonstrators plan to be in Topeka at 11 a.m. to picket in front of the Capitol while Atty. Gen. William Ferguson is lighting a torch. The torch will be relayed from Topeka to Lawrence by fraternity men.
The relay runners are expected to arrive in front of Allen Field House at 1:30 p.m. to begin the chariot races.
Skies will be partly cloudy through tomorrow night.
Weather
The low tonight will be in the 30's and tomorrow's high temperature will be slightly warmer than the 50 degree temperature expected today.
The demonstrators will assemble at Memorial Stadium and march to Naismith Drive where they will
Wins College Bowl
For the third consecutive time, Stephenson Hall's team is the annual winner of the College Bowl, KU's contest in rapid recall.
Stephenson Edges Templin
The question before them was to identify the painters associated with a set of prints. Templin missed two and the final score was established— Stephenson 125, Templin 115.
Just before the last round of the game, the finalists, Stephenson and Templin Halls, were tied at 95. Then, Stephenson pushed its score ahead to 125. Templin rebounded by hitting the buzzer first and signaling to the moderator it wanted to answer the last toss-up question. By answering it correctly, Templin took the initiative away from Stephenson.
"Under the rules of the game, Templin Hall will be allowed to finish answering the bonus question." Dean Heller said.
NOW THE GAME was within a few seconds of using up the allotted playing time. Templin was given a bonus question and began firing back answers, answers that could tie the two teams again, open another round, and give them another chance to win.
DALE BROWNAWELL, Kansas City senior and member of the Stephenson team said, "Naturally we feel pretty lucky."
The Templin team, after a whispered split-second conference, readied themselves to answer. There was no chance to win now, but they could tie the game.
The moderator, Francis Heller, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, spoke deliberately.
"Time!" called the time-keeper.
The College Bowl contests are "always a fight right down to the wire," Brownawell said. It was the same when Stephenson challenged Joseph R. Pearson Hall and Beta Theta Pi fraternity in previous College Bowl finals, Brownawell said.
Templin's team was George Barisas, Kansas City, Mo., senior and captain; Peter Whalen, Wichita sophomore; Tom Parker, Tonganoxie sophomore; and Bob Olander, Salina junior.
Jim Girard, Wichita junior and captain of the winning team, pointed out Gary Gregg, Coldwater freshman, as the key man on their team. "I don't know how he learned so much in high school," Girard said.
Ron Jones, St. John senior, was the other member of the Stephenson team.
The final College Bowl contest was taped for television by WIBW-TV in Topeka. The details and responsibility of production were shouldered by students enrolled in radio and television courses.
The winners are now eligible to compete in the Big Eight College Bowl contest May 2 in Oklahoma City.
No final arrangements have been made for telecasting the match.
The program was delayed twice by technical difficulties. It was not underway until twenty minutes after it was scheduled to begin.
Charles Boomer, Kansas City graduate student and producer, brought laughter from the audience of about 200, by reporting that birds roosting on the television antennae were responsible for the delay. "They warm themselves in the parabolic dish," he said.
stand along the sides of the road with picket signs, Ragsdale said.
Ragsdale said the demonstration will be larger than the one at the Sigma Nu, fraternity where 100 demonstrators marched for two hours.
GEORGE RAGSDALE Good weather ahead? . . .
Ragsdale, a stocky man who stands about 5-10, said that it will take time before Negro students are pledged to fraternities and sororities but he believes that the demonstrations help.
The demonstrations will show that there are a large number of students concerned about the situation, he said.
RAGSDALE. WHO is majoring in engineering physics, has been active in civil rights groups on campus for three years. He worked with the demonstration against the University housing list two years ago.
Ragsdale said he has been active in the CRC before, but that this is his most active year. He is very much concerned with the issue of civil rights, and he feels that there has been progress made while he has been a student at KU.
Ragsdale graduated from Sumner High School, then a segregated high school in Kansas City.
"I had never associated with white students until I went to Boys State," Ragsdale said.
Ragsdale was president of his high school class for four consecutive years. He was also president of the Hi-Y club, the Physics club, the Math club, and the Dramatics club while he was in high school.
RAGSDALE SAID, "Prejudices against minority groups have decreased because there are more opportunities open now, and these have increased inter-racial relations and changed attitudes.
"However, many minority group members still do not feel a part of the University, because both sides refrain from complete association."
No Coach Named; Conference Called
Wade Stinson, incoming athletic director, who is seeking a new basketball coach, called a press conference for 3:30 p.m. today.
The conference will be in the Regionalist Room of the Kansas Union.
In developments earlier today, Stinson said that a petition signed by KU basketball players supporting Ted Owens, assistant coach under Dick Harp, "will have no weight whatsoever."
"Ive not made a decision yet, I'd rather not say who I've talked to," he added.
SEVERAL NAMES have been mentioned as Harp's successor, including Owens, Ralph Miller, the coach at Wichita University, Dean Smith, coach at North Carolina, and Walt Shubloom, coach at Wyandotte High School.
When told about the reported possibilities, Stinson called it "mere speculation."
Stinson said his choice of a successor to Coach Dick Harp, who resigned yesterday, would have to be approved by the KU athletic board, Chancellor W. Clarke Wessoe, and the Board of Rentals, in that order.
Sources close to the KU athletic department said Owens and Miller are the most likely candidates.
EARLIER IN THE MONTH, Henry Bubb, Toocka, chairman of the Board of Regents, said, "There will be no pirating among the institutions in this state and that applies among coaches as well as faculty members."
Stinson said today he has not talked to Bubb, but he said he interpreted Bubb's remarks as not being a "complete thumbs down."
Seventeen players who will be eligible for the 1964-65 basketball team have signed a petition "giving full support to Ted Owens becoming the next head coach at the University of Kansas."
The petition circulated by George Unseid. All-Big Eight center, was started yesterday morning following the announcement that Dick Harp,
head basketball coach, had resigned.
head basketball coach, had resigned. Owens has been Harp's assistant for the past four years, coming to KU from Cameron Junior College, Lawton, Okla., where he had a 93-23 record.
THE PETITION was presented yesterday to Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, who in turn gave it to Wade Stinson, incoming athletic director.
The petition read as follows:
"We the members of the KU basketball team of the year 1964-65 signed this petition giving full support to Ted Owens becoming the next head coach at the University of Kansas."

Pete Townsnd, also a member of the 1963-64 team, was the only member of the team who could not be reached. Unseld said.
One copy of the petition will be sent to the Kansas State Board of Regents in care of Henry Fubb, Regents chairman, Unseld said.
UNSIELD SAID he talked to Chancellor Wescoe yesterday afternoon when he donated blood at Elsworth hall where Chancellor Wescoe was the attending physician for a compus blood drive.
"He (Dr. Wescoe) said something to the effect, 'Is this what you men want,' I said, 'Yes,' and he said, 'I'll pess it on.' Unseeld Said.
The above conversation between Unseld and Dr. Wescoe took place as Unseld lay on his back giving a pint of blood.
THE GENERAL REACTION among the players, when interviewed yesterday afternoon, was surprise. Most of the players heard the news of Coach Harp's decision over the radio, or from another team member.
"I was shocked and surprised to be coach Carharp's decision," Jim
