severe housing shortage at the University in 1964. It was closed twice, once in 1989 and again, for the last time, in 1962. Both times, residents had become attached to it and fought to prevent its closing. In a 1969 Daily Gazette article, the housing director, explained that the move was necessary by saying, "You all know what a fire hazard this place is."
Oread was never the queen of residence halls. A housing committee report in 1962 found that Oread was one of several residential units "harmfully deserted" living conditions. Conditions were so bad that the housing office required that a student view it before signing a contract.

Oread residents didn't let its disadvantages bother them then, either. Rent was only $15 a month, everyone had a single room and shared a close-knit atmosphere. In 1949, one resident was asked whether he would rather live in a nicer dorm. He declined.
"The shiny dorms up on the hill are such pretty things," he said, "with goldfish-bowl windows and goody-goody manners. More important things should concern us."
Oread even had a radio station. Called radio BPOAC, or the benevolent Protective Order of the Ariston Coole, it had a robust cellphone app and residents update-to-date with the latest gossip.
In 1962, Oread residents already were busy putting graffiti on the walls and doors.
people there who know how to lead a demonstration."
AIM members at the meeting said Russell Means, AIM leader, was expected to be in Lawrence after the investigation into the shooting. The investigation completed, possibly by the end of the week.

DURING THE second meeting, the charge of legal murder again was brought
Kitchmichi said that even if Ficottite had been a criminal, there was no reason to kill him.
Chiefstick said that although law enforcement authorities had discussed the possibility of charging the policemen with manlaughter, that wasn't enough.
"That won't cut it at all," she said. "I want to see them put away for a long time. They don't know the hell they're causing Larry's mother right now."
"If we let this die it'll happen all over."

DURING BOTH meetings yesterday, students who had witnessed the shooting were asked to give their versions of what happened.
"If it's just one little thing you saw, it's important." Marv West told the students.
important, Mary West told the students. Edward Burges, who witnessed the shooting, said Picotee was shot several times after he fell.
HE SAID he had been siting near Picotte when the shooting began.
"that guy Crady (police detective Ted Crady) shot him twice at the end when Larry had his hands in the air," Burgess aid.
The county attorney's office also is investigating Picotte's death and Malone said it should be completed by the end of the week.
The policemen involved—Crady, Steve
Reese and Steve Con- temporarily have been suspended from the police force.
Malone has sent their guns to the KBI laboratory for analysis.
Between five and nine shots reportedly were fired at Picotte. He was hit five times in the upper part of his body and once in the leg, Malone said. Picotte died at Lawrence Memorial Hospital shortly after the shooting.
IF HIS investigation indicates the officers' actions were justified, Malone said, he will call for a coroner's inquiry. The judge will decide if criminal charges will be filed.
Authorities have discovered since the shooting that Picotee may have been the suspect wanted in a series of robberies in New York. The investigation remained unsolved since last November.
Kansas City, Mo., police said yesterday that an employee of one of the robbed
businesses identified Picotte from a newspaper picture.
They said they planned to interview victims of a series of convenience store robberies to determine whether Picotte might have robbed the stores.
Malone said he didn't know much about that report.

Glover . . .
From page one
Schneider indicated that another legal issue involved might be the breadth of Glover's right to plead the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which protects a person from testifying against himself.
Asked whether Glover might be granted immunity from prosecution in return for his testimony, Schneider said, "Unless there is no evidence that there is no bares to discuss immunity."
GLOVER'S REMARKS in the Star article first caused concern in the House, which last week passed a bill sponsored by Glover that would give the government possession of small amounts of marijuana.
But Glover said Monday that he had openly admitted smoking pot twice before and thought the Star story was "no startling revelation."
Glover apologized on the House floor yesterday morning for any embarrassment to other members caused by his admission that he smoked marijuana.
State Rep. Carlos Cooper, R-Bonner Springs, said Glover's apology was a "gutsy move," and ender is under investigation for a house censure investigation of Glover's public conduct. Cooper had said Monday that Glover "misted and used" House members to get
GLOVER, IN his statement to the House, said, "The most important regret that I made was that I did not barrassed by his vote for the bill. It was my belief that those who voted in favor of the bill did so based on the legal merits of the law's concept and not for any personal harm."
"if because of that story, the bill now suffers, I will feel as if I have done the state of Kansas and many of its citizens a great disservice."

Jews against Zionism
Interview with Professor Israel Shahak
The following excerpts are from an interview which was given in occupied Jerusalem in Feb. 1975 by Professor Israel Shahak to Intercontinental Press.
Q. In the mass media in the United States and in most West European countries "israel" is portrayed as a democratic society.
What is your opinion?
A. My opinion is that this is the greatest decipherment of the twentieth century; and I am not speaking about hidden matters, I am simply speaking about it. The question is about as paraphrase as South Africa in reality. It is simply more speculative and can be shape U.S. public opinion.
q. What about discrimination in the area of schooling at the pre-university level?
Either you say there are a lot of school systems in "Ireland."
Q. What about determination?
A. Two or more completely separate school systems in "Israel," a Hebrew one and an Arabic one. They are separated at statistics and they are also separated in other things.
First of all, the Arab school is discriminated against in every material area: no buildings, or bad buildings; almost no laboratories; bad teachers; bad teachers-aides.
laboratories; bad teachers; bad teachers in the area of schooling; the Arab students have to learn an enormous amount of Hebrew literature—including Hebrew religious material, the Talmud, and so on—as well as Zionist literature, both in Hebrew
and in ancient translations. The Arabic testament is taught less than 10 percent of the time allotted to the Old Testament. All Arabic (literature written after the New Testament are taught less than 10 percent of the time allotted to the Asian literature—the literature of classical Arabic) are prohibited. They have to learn Hebrew literature instead.
1. Here you will find hardly any in what are called the nice job. The Arabs predominate in three kinds of jobs. First, unskilled agricultural work. Second, unskilled or semi-skilled construction work. Third, the lower-paying jobs in services. such as
washing dishes.
D. When the Arab people protest against these conditions, what oppression do they face?
A. Inside "israel" the oppression of Arabs takes several aspects. First of all, one has to remember that in the so-called sole democracy in the Middle East we still have the defense regulations of 1945 by which the military authorities can arrest, imprison, exile, or limit the movement of any "israel." However, these regulations are employed solely against Arabs. No "israelism." Jew, including those who advocate terror, will ever be, let's say, away from without trial. But many Arabs who advocate co-
An example, take what is happening right now with one of my friends—Nalif Salim—a poet in the village of Pekin. He is a truck driver, and the truck he operates is from the town of Acre. A few months ago he received an order for ordering him to leave his village, so he cannot to Acre to bring his truck back home to operate. He has six children and now has to live on the charity of his neighbors. All this not only without a trial, but without a charge. There are literally thousands of such examples.
