(Continued from page 1)
The Midwest Federation, with 20 of 85 votes, will have the most voting power of any of the regional organizations in the national convention at San Francisco.
Dickson also has the support of the Kansas collegiate Republican clubs.
White, reportedly, helped in the Congressional campaign of Bob Dole in western Kansas last summer.

The highlight of the Midwest Federation convention was the battle between Hickam and Keith Greiner for chairman of the 13-state federation.
Hickam defeated Greiner, who is a student at Emporia State College, by a vote of 791-226.
The Kansas delegation, voting under the unit rule, cast its 139 votes for the Oklahoma City University student.
THIS MOVE WAS loudly protested by delegates from Washburn University and Emporia State clubs. A Washburn student asked for a poll of the Kansas clubs which showed 83 delegates for Hickam and 56 for Greiner.
Following Hickam's election, the Emporia and Washburn clubs walked off the convention floor along with clubs from South Dakota, North Dakota, Wisconsin and Ohio.
PALM BEACH, Fla. — (UPI) — "He liked our boat much more than the boat he has," an exuberant 20-year-old coed said with reference to a seagoing hitchhiker — President Kennedy.
JFK Hitches Ride On Coeds' Catamaran
Rita Tedder, a sophomore at Palm Beach Junior College, told United Press International about Kennedy's enthusiasm over a swift, twin-hulled sailing craft he flagged down in midstream.
Kennedy, a sailing enthusiast since boyhood, had watched from his 92-foot motor yacht, Honey Fitz, while the 27-foot Camatamar-style slope sliced through Lake Worth, on the intra-coastal waterway.
The startled "Pattycat" group moved alongside the "Honey Fitz." The three girls, including Miss Tedder, climbed into the President's yacht to make room on the sailboat for Kennedy and a friend, Navy Under Secretary Paul (Red) Fav.
"Any chance of getting a ride," he shouted to the three young men and three young women aboard the sailboat, named "Pattycat."
Kennedy told Charles Graves, a 22-year-old Palm Beach Junior College student, that he considered his 15 minute ride back and forth across half-mile wide Lake Worth "sensational."
"He's a pretty good old boy;" Graves told newsmen.
Miss Tedder and the other girls had a few words with the President after he climbed from the "Pattycat" at a pier and waited for passengers on the Honey Fitz to debark.
Among them was Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy, who offered the unexpected three female guests coffee and soft drinks while they chatted with members of the Presidential yachting party.
Kennedy took the tiller of the "Pattycat" through one of its sweeps across the lake. Miss Tedder said he told her group he thought the boat was better than his own sailing racer, Victura II.
The other two young women on the "Pattycat" were Miss Christine Greer, 19, a fellow student of Miss Tedder's, and Miss Tony Briant, 24, a dental assistant. The men were Graves, boating contractor, Paul

From the Castle to the Court
WINCHESTER, England — (UPI)
— David J. Payne, 29, who worked for the royal family for over 18 months, was put on three years probation yesterday for stealing $112 from another employer.
A probation officer told the court Payne probably still would be in royal service if he had not been talked into writing articles about the Queen's family.

Slim Books Key To Columbia's Open Door Policy
NEW YORK — (UPI) Columbia University undergraduates are searching for the perfect book—one that won't keep the door open too much.
The unusual literary problem arose yesterday when, for the first time in 209 years, women were allowed to visit the male students' dormitories.
The new policy allows visiting every other Sunday, from 2 to 5 p.m. One rule must be followed: the students are required to keep their doors open "a space comparable to the width of a book."
Soon after about 100 Columbia men signed in with their dates as trail-blazing hosts, strategy for privacy was noted along the corridors
The door-holding books ranged from a slim volume by Lenin, apparently signifying the revolution in dormitory life, to a paperback appropriately titled "Problems in American Ethics."
One girl laughed and said she and her date decided on "a match book."
Across the street from one dormitory, the brothers of Phi Sigma Delta hung a banner to warn: "Don't do anything we haven't done in the last 209 years."
Sneeze Disrupts Rifle Match

Result: The experimental Ford Mustang, lively 2-seater loaded with significant engineering features
Just under 13 feet long—weight, 1544 pounds, 400 to 700 pounds less than comparable models of popular imported sports jobs—the Mustang is representative of the interesting design challenges at Ford Motor Company. Unique ways of reducing weight without sacrificing strength, to improve performance and economy, may stem from its design.
For example, seats are an integral part of the Mustang's body, adding structural rigidity. Brake, clutch and accelerator are mounted on a movable cluster which can be adjusted fore and aft (as can the steering wheel) to suit varying sizes of drivers.
Other important features: low-drag, aerodynamic shape proven in the wind tunnel; independent front and rear suspension; disc front brakes; roll bar built as an integral part of the body/frame structure; hot V-4 engine mounted forward of the rear axle in unit with a 4-speed manual transmission.
The Mustang is another example of how challenging assignments met by our engineers and stylists help Ford Motor Company maintain engineering leadership and provide new ideas for the American Road.
