KU police investigate disturbance at library
Campus police were called to Watson Library Tuesday night to investigate reports of a man with a knife following a coed in the stacks.
Library employees who did not wish to be identified, said the girl went to get her boyfriend after she saw the man in the stacks. When the boyfriend returned to the area, employees said, he saw the man with a steak knife and immediately reported the incident to a staff member, who called the police.
When the police arrived, employees said, the man had already left the library but returned 10 minutes later and was approached by police in the general reading room where he was sitting at a table. The knife, which he kept in his pocket, was taken by police, they said.
Employees said police took him outside for questioning. He was then taken to Watkins Hospital for further questioning by Donald Alderson, dean of men.
The man was described by library employees as about 6 feet 4 inches tall, weighing about 200 pounds, having black hair and a beard. One employee said he had a "blank" look and acted "non-chalant" about the incident.
Alderson said the incident was a misunderstanding. No threats were made, he said.
The girl and her boyfriend, who would not talk to reporters, left the library under police escort after questioning. They did not swear out a complaint against the man, who is a former KU student.
Book contest looking for special collections
The man was released after questioning. No charges were made.
When you hear about a book collecting contest, you probably picture a bunch of dark, heavy, gold embossed books with brown pages crackling with age being judged on how many pages are left in the oldest editions. But such is not the case with the 1970 Elizabeth Snyder Book Collecting Contest.
This contest is for the KU student who has a collection of paperback books or hardbacks on a certain topic that is of special interest to him. Barbara Backus, assistant special collections librarian at the Spencer Library said that topics of collections in the past years have ranged from the supernatural to the Civil War.
The contest is sponsored by Mrs. Snyder and the Oread Book Shop. The first place winner is awarded $100 in books to be ordered through the Oread Book Shop and the five second place winners receive $10 each in books.
This year there are to be two areas of judging, a graduate and an undergraduate student division.
Each contestant is asked to first submit a bibliography of

his collection, together with a brief statement of his purpose in making the collection. At least ten entries on the bibliography should be annotated with a description of the book and its special interest. The entries are to be limited to a selection from 25 to 50 books from the student's collection. These books must be owned and have been collected by him.
After a preliminary judging made on the basis of the bibliography paper, finalists will be asked to bring their collections to the library for final judging.
A 2 to 1 decision was handed down by the Student Court Tuesday against chief justice John Hampton, Lawrence second year law student, who was appealing three parking tickets he had received for parking in zone X behind the Union.

Army ROTC sponsors Southeast Asia forum
Hampton's counsel, Mark Anderson, Wichita first year law student, argued that Hampton was entitled to park along a yellow curb in the lot because he had paid a dime to enter and was unable to find a parking place after checking every aisle.
Anderson said Hampton was aware of a no parking sign in front of the yellow curb and recognized the violation. He argued, however, that Hampton "had paid his money and had a contractual right to park." He added that Hampton's car was not obstructing traffic along the curb
The Army ROTC cadets held a symposium on Southeast Asia Monday.
Col. Herve de'lencquesaine of the French army, Ltc. Richard Bird of the Royal Australian Regiment, Ltc. Ngo-Nhu Bich of the Army of Republic of Vietnam and Ltc. Myles Mierswa of the U.S. Army were the panelists.
Anderson further stated that his client had relied on a Student Court decision last year in which Hampton was prosecuting ator-
A welcome was given by Colonel Philip Reidel, professor of military science. The group of cadets and guests had lunch at the Alpha Delta Pi house with Patti Parchen as hostess. Miss Parchen is the commanding officer of E-CO Berets, a coed affiliation to Pershing Rifles.
The seminar was held in the Kansas Union Forum Room.
The officers were talking not as official representatives of their countries but as individuals giving candid remarks to questions based on their experience in Vietnam.
The potential of the Laotian situation, reasons the United States became involved in Vietnam, mistakes the United States made in that involvement and the problems in understanding the Vietnamese people were among the topics of discussion.

Prosecuter John Vratil, Larned second year law student, cited section B of Parking Regulations which said that parking even with a permit was a privilege and that such privilege provides no assurance of parking space.

ney in an identical case and had lost the case.
Anderson replied that when you pay money you have a contractual right. He said it was a public parking lot and the sign in front of the gate did not say full.
"Majority feels parking in restricted parking lot is a privilege and not a right. There was also a parking sign in front of the curb where defendant parked. We weighed the precedence but did not think it strong enough. There was no emergency and it was shown in previous cases that there was a problem in parking and the defendant could have come earlier."
Dick Wetzler, Marysville second year law student, dissented, "I feel there was a contract in this situation between the University and the student, that the student

should have absolute right and did have a valid contract. If the lot was full, the defendant had the right to park his car in another place not obstructing traffic."
After the decision, Anderson arose and expressed his displeasure with court's decision. He said he would appeal the case to the court en banch.
Hampton's fines totaled $48.
