Wichita Gives WU To State System
WICHITA—(UPI)-Wichita residents yesterday voted the University of Wichita, a city-operated school for 36 years, into the state system by a 29 to 1 margin.
The complete but unofficial tally was 30,980 for giving the school to Kansas and 1.051 opposed.
With less than 50 per cent of the eligible 72,197 persons voting, tax payers approved a move that would reduce the University tax levy from $6\frac{3}{4}$ mills to $1\frac{1}{2}$ mills effective July 1, 1964.
STARTING WITH fiscal year 1964-65, the state will finance operations and improvement of the institution. City taxpayers still must retire $3.5 million in bonded indebtedness.
The state legislature recently passed the controversial bill to allow the university to become "Wichita State University," an "associate" of the University of Kansas. All financial and curriculum change requests must be channelled through Kansas University and its board of regents, with the change.
"I still don't know how we're going to support three universities," said Rep. Tom Crossan, R-Independence, an opponent of the legislation that enabled yesterday's vote. The school was expected to cost the state $4 million a year.
UNIVERSITY President Harry Corbin said he was "very pleased" with the vote results. He predicted that fees for his nearly 6,000 students would be reduced, in line with other state universities, when the school enters the Kansas system.
The legislature, after bitter debate, narrowly passed the bill that allowed the university to enter the state system of higher education. It was part of Gov. John Anderson's program.
Corbin praised "hundreds of students" who worked in the campaign. He credited them with a turnout of voters that was 50 per cent more than the election commissioner had anticipated.
There was no organized opposition to the proposal here. However, both heads of the University of Kansas and Kansas State University opposed the enabling legislation because it threatened their supplies of funds.
Tribal Violence Erupts in Congo
LEOPOLDVILLE — (UPI) — A new wave of violence menaced key Kong cities today as tribal rioting erupted in Katanga and anti-white attacks flared in the Leopoldville area.
At the Katanga mining center of Jadotville Congolese army troops fought with local tribesmen last night.
Reliable sources said three persons were killed and five wounded when 60 Congolese soldiers opened fire to quell tribal rioting. United Nations Indonesian troops finally moved in to restore order.
Lawlessness has increased steadily following a police mutiny two weeks ago. The subsequent lack of visible authority in the city and the suburbs has culminated in a series of attacks on whites.
In Leopoldville, Congolese army troops patrolled the road to the airport as a new wave of banditry and killing swept the Congolese capital.
The latest victim was a Dane, Torben Gregersfeldt, 25, of Copenhagen, who was slain by bandits yesterday en route to the Leopoldville airport
