Kuby said he chose the location to display the banner in accordance with guidelines in Articles 8 and 17 of the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct.
Kuby...
A STUDENT, according to these articles, may not cause a disruption or obstruction of University activities. The code also provides for freedom of peaceful protest, if the protest does not interfere or obstruct University activity. The University community have a right to be.
But Thomas said the banner violated a Kansas Board of Regent rule that prohibits a display of political advertisements in enclosed areas of the campus devoted
primarily to instruction, or in other enclosed areas during non-political events.
"Even though there is no lid on the stadium, it was still considered an enclosed area." Thomas said. The decision to remove the bandana was not based on its content.
BUT KUBY contends that the banner was not political advertising.
He said the University had consistently defined "political" in the Board of Regents' regulations as "electronering," or political engagement for public offices and issues on a ballot.
Thomas said that banners should be checked with the commencement committee.

However, Kuby said, "If I had displayed a banner that said 'We love you Archive Dykes. I don't think I would have been arrested, arrested and dragged out of the stadium."

"I AM holding the Chancellor personally responsible for the incident. I don't know whether his involvement was direct or indirect, but his antipathy toward freedom of speech has contaminated the atmosphere of the University."

Cancellor Dykes said Saturday that he and Mike Davis, University General Counsel, would not comment on the incident and would not apologize if the complaint was filed with the chancellor's office.
CHANCELLOR DYKES said he found it difficult to believe that free speech was being interfered with the distribution of pamphlets handed to graduates as they processed toward the stadium. The pamphlets also protested KU investments in the city.
Kuby's complaint is being typed and will be sent by mail registered this week to those charged, according to J. Hammond McNish, the president and chairman of the University Judiciary.
Chancellor Dykes said, "We do not now know the nature of the charges, but if the University police made a mistake then, of course, we'll make corrections."
The issue, Chancellor Dykes said, would be decided when it was determined whether the code prohibiting political advertising violated the rules, and was correctly interpreted by the campus police.

Davis will determine the definition of political advertising, the chancellor said.
"Good legal opinion must come from the university's counsel," he said. "His vested position is that he has no legal authority."
But Kuby said that Davis had a conflict of interest because he would be representing the University at the same time he determined the definition of political advertising
After meeting with the chancellor next week, SenEx will give its opinion on whether a rule was violated, according to Gerhard Zutther, SenEx chairman.

The World's Smallest Drive-In
BY RON CARLSON
It is not that easy to find the village of Amenia, New York (hit! it's on Route 22 about ninety miles north of New York City). The world's most drive-in is located behind the Amenia Body attraction, found by asking one of the two gas station attendants in town.
Only fifty percent of them will know about the existence of the drive-in. Fifty percent will say, "There no drive-in movie in América!" And his look will add, "Tourists!" Do not be discouraged. Do not show him the inch-square ad in The Berkshire Shops; save it for the other guy. He will respond, "Why, it's not on this station!". Do not mistake his laughter as derision.
The theater is set directly over a reclaimed junkyard. “There are dozens of wrecked cars under there,” he says. “I had a friend with a builder, and he filled the locker and leaved the rows.” The building was built by a private contractor. Sheens of used ploywood, to be held by all four telephone poles,
Mt. Ward Kipp began projecting movies when he was seventen, for $1 a night. He showed movies in the Navy and at countless movie houses since; he estimates he has shown films to almost ten million people. He is partial to John Wayne films because." The money I made showing John Wayne's films paid for my house."
But he has not been a professional exhibitor of all his life. He works in vocational rehabilitation at the Wassiaa Development Center and has been there long enough to retire soon. But over the years, whenever he saw or heard of a theater closing, Mr. Kipp made inquiries about the equipment, and slowly he has produced a project, a sound system, and finally, in 1983, his own theater.
Down the road not half a mile, in the summer twilight in front of the Amenia Body Shop, a gray shirt cardboard is cloistened to a wire. (After dark, look for the single light bulb.) The shirt cardboard will read: *Mover Taught! Tonight* *Night Fever or Night* (*The Witch*) and *What It Was*. You'll be behind the auto shop is Mr. Ward Kipp's fourteen-year-old hobby, a quarter-acre grass plot studded with twenty-six speakers, centered by a snack-bar-protection shack the size of a uxia cab, and all focused on a white plywood screen measuring sixteen by thirty-two feet. This is the smallest commercial theater in the world. Things will begin to get worthwhile.
The speakers are surplus from the (now defunct) Canaan Drive-in, and the speaker posts are used water pipe bought at auction. Mr. Kipp and his father-in-law constructed the squat sax hair-projection booth, which frankly could be mistaken for an early American tool shed. The lot holds 46 cars, and the booth is located by a neighbor boy who mows once a week during the season.
"Welcome to the Smallest Drive-in Movie Theater in the World," Mr. Kipp says over the speaker system. And then he goes on—if the movie is Saturday Night Fright—with an apology about this being only the second R-feature rated even shown at his theater and that if you want your money back because you want the movie, he will oblige if your request is sent through the mail.
The chap leaning against the projection booth in a white coat is Mr. Kipp. He will wait until the appointed hour and give the instructions.
The woman who greets the cars is Mrs. Kipp. She will count heads and assess $1.75 per person, 1978 dollars. She is a warm and easy-giving woman, happy to be spending the evening at the movies.

When asked if he shows first-run movies, Mr. Kipp responds "Well, they're first run for Amenia."
Movie-goers lounge beside their cars on blankets, sampling pricies, and later, when it is fully dark, the crashing heard in the theater.
The distributor for Universal Films in New York, a Mr Solikoff, also will furnish films to hundreds of drive-in slots in the Northeast (including the Whitestone Twain, 1900 cars), says, "We've got the most comfortable drive-ins. Too many of these big places have lost touch with their audiences. As long as Kipp is showing movies up there, we'll supply him. It's more than encouraging the movie-going habit," a personal venture he's got going. I mean, you send up film's at a drive-in, but if you like that, I certainly can experience its a unique drive-in."
June, 1979
Toward the end of the film, it will probably start to rain. Some of the pinceenlais will retire to their cars; others will remain outside in the warm air wearing newspapers on their heads. At the bottom of the car, a boy can only eight cars in the entire place — Mrs. Kipp will appear in front of the cars having a flashlight ambitiously, directing traffic as if there were thousands of cars wondering which way to go. Rust Cassin's wards have been published in The New York Times. The second car, a Toyota Camry, is owned by Scoot Fingerstad, who has two year old, and his ancestor was
The movie, even if it is his third R-rated film, is unlikely to offend anyone after the trouble spent finding the place. Relax. Isn't it so easy to pretend?
There is an ancient popcorn machine, retrieved no doubt from some crumbling movie book, but full of fresh (8 on the 10 scale) popcorn; an old round-shouldered refrigerator full of multi-colored soda cups, a hotplate warming the coffee, and the usual assortment of candies, sold at unusually low prices. The girl who runs the concessions is Mr. Kipp's niece.
Mrs. Kipp also enjoys her husband's "hobby." "I don't mind the time or money he spends down here," she says. "It's better to see him."

Sound on Wheels
Detroit, the home of wheels, isn't interested in better audio, so anyone who buys a car and wants to remain on good terms with his cars would do well to customize his auto sound.
For years many auto sound manufac-
turers were content with the premise that any sound is better than no sound at all. This wasn't a choice, it was a dictum. But now some auto equipment manufacturers discovered the idea of better sound quality.
Installing a good auto system in a car is not the same as setting up an in-home hi/fi. Auto present problems of their own, including electrical interference from cars, trucks, buses, power lines and electric signs. Car position speakers are used to position speakers for most effective listening. The padded interior of the car soaks up bass tones like a thirsty sponge, and pathetic is the only word to describe some of the speakers. Power output of most receivers is usually 10 watts or less and this is achieved by driving a high-performance motor that 10 percent total harmonic distortion point.
But, to coin a cliche, every cloud has a silver lining. By some discreet shopping, planning and spending, an audiophile can purchase the system that produces minimal anural anguish.
The only way to go is the component route, keeping in mind that the smaller the car, the smaller the dash and under-dash space. Still, with a bit of planning and imagination, a sound system can be installed which will be infinitely better than Detroit's take-it-on-leave-it option.
Improving auto sound doesn't necessarily mean scrapping an existing setup. If it consists of nothing more than a receiver and a pair of speakers, the option is to add extra equipment that will give the receiver and speakers less of a burden; this technique does not require a complete reconfiguration procedure, not demanding the immediate expenditure of large cash amounts.
The first move could be the addition of a booster. This is a power amplifier, has few or no operating controls, is mounted under dash, and is connected between the speakers and the speaker terminals on the receiver. The booster can supply audio power ranging from a low of 20 watts per channel to as much as 100 watts or more. The higher the power, the easier it will be to mount. Booster the volume control on the receiver need not be advanced to the high level distortion point, so with this one addition this sonic irritant is eliminated.
With a booster another pair of speakers can be added to give front/fear sound, distributing it, permitting the listener to have the option of front sound only, rear sound only or both; and to provide an additional booster fatigue. It also helps improve bass response since the total cone area is effectively increased by the added speakers. Of necessity, most car speakers are small cone devices, so the second pair does contribute to listening to the booster in a trip into futility. The booster is a trip into futility.
