This looks like a job for B & G
Hopefully the students' conduct was more orderly than the many boxes scattered behind the Jayhawker pick-up counter at the rotunda in Strong Hall. Wednesday was the first day students could pick up the first edition of the Jayhawker yearbook. The Jayhawker can be picked up at Strong through Friday.
Police arrest KU student in connection with march
Donald R. Jenkins, Kansas City, Mo., senior, surrendered to police Tuesday after a warrant for his arrest had been issued charging him with breaking a window in the courthouse during the "Chicago Seven" march Feb. 17.
Assistant County Attorney John M. Elwell, who filed the information on Jenkins, said he was charged with malicious destruction of property under $50.
Others arrested in connection with the march were not KU students.
John McBride, 18, Emporia, is charged with destruction of a 'no-loitering' sign in the courthouse, painting the Jimmy Green statue in front of the KU School of Law and taking a construction warning flag. Robert Lee Schall, alias James Robert Morrison, 23, Lawrence, faces felony and misdemeanor charges in Lawrence
Municipal Court. He is charged with taking a construction warning flag and possessing marijuana, a charge he incurred in 1968. John R. Sachse, 22, Lawrence, is charged with taking a construction warning flag, taking a sign from the courthouse warning against soliciting in the building and possessing marijuana, a charge filed as a result of items found on his person at the time he was booked into jail. David M. Neff, 19, Lawrence, is charged with painting the statue of Jimmy Green, taking a construction flag and defacing a public building by painting a clenched fist on the courthouse.
Conflict of interest bill fails referred for further study
Neff remains in jail with a federal detainer placed on his release because of a Selective Service Act violation. The others have posted bond to appear for trials March 5 and 6.
TOPEKA (UPI) - A new and stronger conflict of interest bill traveled a tortuous path in the Kansas Senate Wednesday that ended in failure to receive that body's recommendation.
The measure that would have repealed much existing legislation on the subject, was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee for further study after two hours of debate failed to resolve differences over the bill's provisions for filing disclosure of interest statements.
Sen. Norman Gaar, R-West-
wood, who defended the bill, said
referral of it to the Senate Judiciary Committee would amount
to killing the measure. But Sen.
Steadman Ball, R-Atchison,
chairman of the committee, said
the bill would be revised and re-submitted to the full senate before the session was over.
The decision to refer the bill for further study came despite an amendment by Gaar which struck an objectionable provision for many that would prohibit lawyer-legislators from appearing before state officials or agencies on behalf of paying clients.
In other action, the senate passed an air pollution bill that would strengthen the powers of the Air Quality Conservation Commission. The measure would
provide for public hearings by the commission on the issuance, suspension or revocation of permits
for equipment, machines or devices that are considered contributory to air pollution.
