The University of Kansas Extension Center has announced in a news release that the 1970 Packaging Seminar will be held on March 16-18 at the Plaza Inn in Kansas City.
Packaging seminar to be March 16-18
Gene Probasco, coordinator of the seminar, said 12 speakers from Connecticut, New York, California, Illinois, Washington, D.C. and other packaging centers will participate in the three day program.
Detroit 'four' found innocent
Probasco said the rapidly growing profession of packaging engineers indicates the demands placed upon the existing professionals and their problems to cope with purchasing of packaging materials, shipping, storing, and design of packages.
FLINT, Mich. (UPI) — Three white former policemen and a Negro former private guard were found innocent Wednesday night of conspiring to violate the civil rights of Algiers Motel occupants the night three black teenagers were killed during the 1967 Detroit riots.
This will be the second year the KU Extension has presented the seminar. Probasco said the 1970 Packaging Seminar will be a "dynamic program" and one which will "surpass the precedence of excellence set by last year's program."
The all-white jury deliberated nine hours before returning the verdict.

U. S. District Court Judge Stephen J. Roth gave the case to the six men and six women jurors at 10:47 a.m. after five weeks of trial. He told them they were dealing with a criminal case, "not the social issues of the day."
August, pregnant wife of one of the defendants, gasped in relief. If convicted, the four could have received a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and $10,000 fine.
Former Detroit Patrolmen David Senak, 25, Ronald W. August, 31, and Robert Paille, 34, and Melvin Dismukes, then a private guard, were charged with conspiring to "injure, oppress, threaten and intimidate" eight Negro youths and two white prostitutes in the motel July 26, 1967, and to violate their civil rights.
Norman Lippitt, one of three defense attorneys, said the prosecution had "failed miserably" to establish a conspiracy.
Scriven has been on the faculty at Berkeley since 1967 after having taught at Minnesota, Swarthmore, and Indiana. In 1955-56, he was research associate in the philosophy of science at the University of Minnesota.
Philosopher featured in Humanities series
2 KANSAN Feb. 26 1970
A Berkeley philosopher who prefers the off-tackle smash to the end-around deception in his approach to current problems has chosen "Violence" as the topic for his Humanities Series lecture, Tuesday, March 3, at the University of Kansas. Michael Seriven, professor of philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley, will speak at 8 p.m. in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Besides the main lecture, four public forums will be led by Scriven during his KU visit. All will be in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union, and all are co-sponsored by Student Union Activities.
The forums schedule is: 9:30 a.m., Monday, March 2—"Abortion and Contraception"; 1:30 p.m.—"Obscenity, Perversion, and Indoctrination"; 7:30 p.m.—"Addiction, Insulgence, and Abuse"; 9:30 a.m., Tuesday, March 3—"Corruption, Subversion, and Education."
Scriven was born in Beauilton, England. After receiving the B.A. and M.A. degrees in philosophy at Melbourne University, he was awarded the Ph.D. at Oxford University in 1956. He received a National Science Foundation grant in 1968-68, a U.S. Air Force research grant in 1967-68, and was Miller centennial lecturer at the University of Illinois in 1967.
He is a consultant to the Behavioral Research Laboratory and to the U.S. Office of Education, and in 1963 was consultant to the Rand Corporation. In 1962-63, he was a fellow at the Center for Advanced Studies in Behavioral Sciences. He has been a visiting professor at Wesleyan University and Harvard University.
The defense conceded Senak, August, Paille and Dismukes separately made racial slurs, ripped the clothes off the prostitutes, beat the Negroes, played "death games" to frighten motel occupants and extract confessions about alleged snipers, and finally shot two youths—Fred Temple, 18, and Aubrey Pollard. 19.

The judge said the defendants were not on trial for murder, for assault or for failure to perform their functions. He pointed out August and Dismukes already had been acquitted of murder and felonious assault respectively.
In a 90-minute closing argument Tuesday. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth McIntyre told the jury "your only possible verdict is guilty."
McIntyre contended the defendants conspired to punish the motel occupants "to get even for the Detroit riots."
Diggs, D-Mich., said he also was considering filing a slander suit against Maddox as a result of their shouting match in the restaurant Tuesday.
When Diggs objected to the ax and pick handles, Maddox called him an ass and a baboon. Diggs said Wednesday he particularly objected to being called a baboon because "it has a racial connotation."
Maddox, in Atlanta, said Wednesday that Diggs "has flipped his lid, man."
He said Diggs' petition was signed by "every biased, prejudiced person in Congress."
"I have never seen that kind of expression of bitterness and hatred and contempt," Maddox said of Diggs appearance during the incident Tuesday. "I never experienced that in a human being before."
Diggs, claiming support from the North and South, circulated a letter to House members inviting them to join him in sponsoring the resolution to declare Maddox persona non grata in the restaurant.
The resolution, cosponsored by the House's eight other Negro members, would express the "sense of the house that Gov. Maddox is not welcome as a guest in the House restaurant."
House rules permit governors to use the dining facilities, and Maddox brought a box of ax and pick handles with him Tuesday after he had testified before a Segate subcommittee.
The autographed hardwood handles recall Maddox' days as an Atlanta restaurant owner who resisted desegregation by barring Negroes while carrying ax and pick handles.
Quintuplets thriving after premature birth
NEW YORK (UPI) — Quintuplets born six weeks prematurely to a 27-year-old New Jersey woman who had taken fertility drugs were thriving Wednesday after three of them overcame breathing problems.
Three daughters and two sons were born to Mrs. Margaret Kienast of Far Hills, N.J., within a 10-minute period late Tuesday at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.
"For a complicated delivery we couldn't hope for the babies to be in better condition than they are now," said Dr. Stanley James, the hospital's chief pediatrician. "Three of the infants were having breathing difficulty but as of this morning all signs say they are making a successful adaptation."
Mrs. Kienast had taken the fertility drug Pergonal even before the birth of her other children, a 4½-year-old daughter and an 18-month old son. She and her salesman husband, William, 38, had been warned to expect triplets and possibly quadruplets.
The quints, ranging in weight at birth from 3 pounds, 4 ounces to 4 pounds, 6 ounces, were placed in incubators and were reported "receiving calories" shortly before noon EST. Their condition Wednesday afternoon was described as "good to excellent."
The mother was also in good condition and conferred with her husband on names for the babies. In the meantime, the fifth set of living quintuplets in the world were identified only as A, B, C, D, and E.
