Man in Lewis was a mistake
The impossible dream in living arrangements seemed almost within reach for one male KU student.
Garth Burns, Hutchinson junior, obtained a woman's dorm contract, preferred Lewis Hall and received a letter of acceptance from the Dean of Women's Office shortly before semester break. His moving plans were thwarted, however, when Mrs. Carolyn Routh, resident director for Lewis Hall, noticed the unusual first name and checked contract listings in the Dean of Men's Office.
"The contract has nothing provided to state sex except a heading of either men's or women's residence hall court," said Mrs. Routh. "We always go through contracts to check for returning residents. I noticed the unusual first name and discovered we had a man assigned to Lewis. This has never happened before in Lewis as far as a know."
"The whole thing started after we had been talking about strange names. I thought they might accept Garth as a girl," Burns said. "I didn't really expect to be admitted, but I thought the people checking me in would be more shocked than they were. I didn't expect them to find out until I arrived."
Pope eliminates celibacy review during this reign
VATICAN CITY (UPI)—Pope Paul VI appears to have removed the last possibility that the Roman Catholic law on priestly celibacy can be changed during his lifetime, Vatican observers said Monday.
At the same time, the official Vatican press spokesman emphasized the authoritative importance of the pontiff's statement Sunday rejecting any change in the law and any further discussion of the controversial issue.
Msgr. Fausto Vallainc issued a statement saying the fact the speech was made to an informal gathering of pilgrims and tourists in St. Peter's Square in no way lessened its significance.
Some Italian newspapers had sought to minimize the Pope's remarks because they were not made at a formal occasion. But Vallainc said the Pope was speaking not merely as bishop of Rome but as universal pontiff.
Vallaine said the Pope has often used holiday meetings to discuss matters of great importance "committing without impossible distinctions his authority as head of the Catholic Church."

Over-interest closes county clinic
The Douglas County chapter of the Planned Parenthood Association, $1035\frac{1}{2}$ Massachusetts, closed Jan. 1. Mrs. Darrell Duby, clinic director, said the chapter could not properly care for the large number of patients using the clinic facilities.
The clinic was designed primarily to serve lower income persons in the community, but was used almost exclusively by KU coeds. Mrs. Duby said the association felt services similar to those provided by the clinic should be made available to KU coeds at Watkins Hospital. Letters to that effect have been sent to Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers and Dr. Raymond Schweger by the chapter board of directors.
Relying on volunteer workers and the services of Alexander C. Mitchell, a Lawrence physician who has donated his time to the clinic, Planned Parenthood offered a variety of services including educational films, written material, and question-answer sessions on the topic of birth control. Contraceptive devices were issued to women only after they had had a pelvic examination. Mrs. Duby explained these medical services were given to patients as long as they obtained contraceptives from the clinic.
An attempt to consolidate the Planned Parenthood chapter with the Lawrence Public Health Center failed because the public health center did not provide the medical coverage which the
Planned Parenthood Association insisted upon.
An executive meeting with the Kansas City chapter of Planned Parenthood is scheduled for Tuesday evening to decide the future of the Douglas County chapter. Tentative plans call for an information and education bureau instead of a clinic.
The clinic remained open on Thursday evenings throughout January to refill prescriptions and to refer patients to a private physician or the public health center. Coeds who are married can obtain contraceptives from Watkins Hospital.

The request includes $88,000 for the Kansas state water plan.
Al and Jim want you.
If you're an engineering major (EE, ME or CE), Jim Kostoryz and Al Winder want you.
About a company. And a city. About challenges. And decisions.
Because they've got something to say.
The company is: the Power & Light Company. The city: Kansas City. A city in the midst of its first real growing pains. A city with many challenges.
For you, the challenge could be an 848,000 kilowatt power station now in the building stage; 345,000-volt transmission lines in a constantly
growing network; or solving environmental problems such as air pollution or beautification of facilities. All this, and more, to satisfy the human and social needs of the city...and a demand for electric service that will almost double in the next 10 years.
Decisions to meet these challenges can be yours. (But first you must decide to see Jim or Al.)
If you do, you'll see they only care about one thing: whether you're big enough to help a company help build a city.
