Rockefeller Notes Racial Challenge
Winthrop Rockefeller, brother of Republican New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, said last night that "many challenges face those who seek brotherhood."
He told an audience of more than 400 persons that much work must be done before brotherhood becomes a reality.
He spoke at the Lawrence Brotherhood banquet in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
"BY WORKING TOGETHER," he said, "we Americans can show the world that we are strong because we are united.
"One of the most frightening aspects about this country is the lack of communication," he said. "Knowing the problems of other people is essential to our national strength."
In the United States, people see each other's weaknesses and not their strengths. Rockefeller said.
"We MUST INSIST on communication between groups, so that we can come to know one another and to respect our strengths — and our weaknesses." he said.
"Brotherhood is a series of questions," said Rockefeller, who is head of the Industrial Development Commission in Arkansas, his adopted state.
"For instance, we must ask ourselves what we can do to insure the brotherhood of man spoken of in the Scriptures. Are we looking for things in common, or for things which are different?"
HE REFFERRED to the minority groups in the United States, particularly the Negro, as a "great source of untapped wealth."
He said a survey by Life and Time magazines showed that full utilization of the Negro potential could
English Professor Dies This Morning
The hospital has not revealed the cause of death.
Henry M. Weidner, assistant professor of English, 32, of 1649 Illinois, died early this morning at the Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
He served as an Army counter intelligence officer in 1953-1955.
Prof. Weidner was born April 21, 1930, in New York City. He received his B. S. degree from Columbia University, New York City, in 1951. He received his M. A. degree from the University of Connecticut, Storrs in 1953. He was awarded his Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in 1959.
Prof. Weidner came to KU in 1958 as an instructor. In the fall of 1962 he was promoted to assistant professor of English.
Last month Prof. Weidner was awarded a Watkins Faculty Scholarship. The fellowship would have supported one summer of research.
Prof. Weidner was writing a book at the time of his death. The book, "George Chapman's Dramatic Art," was a study of Chapman, one of William Shakespeare's contemporaries.
Prof. Weidner is survived by his wife, Frances; two sons, Mark and John, all of the home, and his father, Henry H. Weidner, New York City.

mean an increase of $6 billion in the gross national product.
"All of these elements I have mentioned present an opportunity to pick up the challenge to make our community, our state and our nation stronger. These challenges must be met for brotherhood to succeed, whether in Lawrence, or Chicago or in Little Rock," he said.
Equal Rights for Irish
CARSON CITY, Nev. — (UPI) — Sen. James Slattery introduced a bill in the legislature yesterday calling for equal rights for the Irish.
The bill promptly was referred for study to the fish and game committee because, according to one senator, the Irish are considered fair game.

Wright Continues Fight On Kansas Education
Seniors will need late night tickets to check out their keys.
The funds collected through the SMOP campaign will be awarded to several outstanding KU women at the All Women's Day Honors Night. April 29.
TOPEKA—(UPI)—C. O.Wright, executive secretary of the Kansas State Teachers Association, continued his battle today with the Kansas Legislature.
"I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU," he wrote, "that the Kansas Legislature has been pretty much on dead center for a long time."
He said in a letter to a Kansas school administrator that he hoped the legislative threats of an investigation of the KSTA and himself would help "move things off dead center."
This year marks the fifteenth anniversary of the AWS Memorial Scholarship Fund established in the memory of two KU women who died while attending college.
The 67-year-old Wright noted that although a newspaper article quoting his statements at a meeting in Atlantic City, N.J., "contains little exact direct quotation. . . I stand behind the reporting of the college student."
The story, the ex-newsman said,
"was as great a surprise to me as to you."
"... The newspaper stories, some of which are appearing on front pages. ... may get the facts to the people. It may still be possible to stir Kansans to move the Legislature away from the position of the Governor and the legislative leaders that there should be no increase in the budget and no new taxes.
THE LETTER CONTINUED:
"We are hoping that this unpleasantness will serve to inform the people of Kansas about the four crucial points in this debate on how Kansas stands educationally.
Skies will be partly cloudy with warmer temperatures this afternoon. Rain changing to snow in the northeast and scattered light snow in the northwest parts of the state will begin tonight. Temperatures will be colder in the west this afternoon and over the state tonight and Thursday. Low tonight will be around 25, and the high Thursday will be near 30.
Prescriptions
"FIRST, IT SHOULD BE known that we are 45th on state money for education, furnishing only 20.8 per cent of the school budget from state sources..

"Second, the people should know that Kansas relies more heavily on the local property tax than do 45 of the 50 states. This is the crux of our problem.
"Third, though Kansans in their overall tax efforts do well, much of this effort is wasted because although the state has only 1 per cent of the children of the nation, it has 5 per cent of its school districts.
"FOURTH, I HOPE IT WILL BE realized by all that the teachers of Kansas are paid $689 less (per year) than the average for teachers over the nation."

Peter, Paul, Mary To Sing March 30
Peter, Faul and Mary, a folk singing trio, will open Saturday March 30. in Allen Field House.
The appearance of the folksingers is sponsored by the Student Union Activities (SUA) as its second spring concert.
"WE DECIDED to move the concert to the field house because of the difficulty we had handling the demand for seats for the Limeliters and Smothers Brothers concerts", said Robert Moutrie, St. Louis, Mo. junior and chairman of the SUA special events committee.
Previous SUA concerts were held in Hoch Auditorium, which seats 3,600. The field house has 7,000 seats.
A temporary stage will be erected on the west side of the field house and 1,200 additional seats will be placed on the main floor.
No seats will be sold directly behind or beside the performers.
Moutrie said a new, special sound system will be installed to produce "near broadcast quality" acoustics.
PROFESSIONAL SOUND specialists have studied the field house and have devised a system that will match the one in Hoch, he said.
"If the sound system works, we may have better chances of bringing bigger names and better shows to the campus." Moutrie said.
Fraternity Jewelry
Tickets will be available to Lawrence residents and Baker University, the University of Kansas City, and Washburn University students March 22.
ORDERS FOR ELOCKS of tickets from dormitories and fraternities must be in by March 20.
Badges, Rings, Novelties
Sweatshirts, Mugs, Paddles,
Cups, Trophies, Medals
He pointed out the possibility of a jazz festival here next year and the appearance of Harry Belefonte, who requires a guaranteed attendance of 10,000.
He said the SUA will save some seats for general sale. These will be sold March 21 to KU students only.
"We had planned to sell them for $1.60, $1.30 and $1 at Hoch," he added.
ALL SEATS FOR Peter, Paul and Mary will be reserved and will be sold at $1.25, $1, and 75 cents.
Moutrie said the expected larger attendance makes a lower ticket price possible.
