Chad Mitchell Trio ... At Pershing Nov. 10
Chad Mitchell Group
To Sirig At Pershing
The Chad Mitchell Trio will
appear on Sunday, Nov. 10 at
3:30 p.m. at Pershing Munici
pal Auditorium. Tickets,
priced at $1.50, $2, and $2.50,
are on sale now at both Persh
ing and the Student Union.
All sections will be reserved.
The Trio originated in Spo
kane, Wash., at Gonzaga Uni
versity, during the 1959 fall
semester. For one year they
sang for small groups on cam
pus and in the city under the
promotion of Father Reinard
Beaver, a local Catholic Priest
who had heard the boys w'tile
they were singing at the
school.
They were still concentra
ting on their career as college
students when Father Beaver
had to leave for a trip to New
York City and suggested they
go along with him to see the
country.
The' trip took six days, and
when they finally arrived in
Manhattan, they had more
money than when they had
started the trip, thanks to the
lighly persuasive mentor who
secured several singing en
gagements for them.
The Chad Mitchell Trio,
which consists of Chad Mitch
ell, Mike Kobluk, and Joe
Frazier, plus accompanists,
have bdeome popular with
single records such as "The
John Birch Society" and sev
eral albums.

Following the meeting,'we
went to the Whirlybird Res

entered, we saw a police

police came into the restau

that we were strangers in
town and did not realize
that whites could not eat in
a Negro restaurant. To
avoid trouble, we suggested
that we leave, and the

At the office we found a

About 1:05 p.m. Larry

of the car, we saw a police
car coming down the street.
We returned to the office.
The policemen took my li

across the street. We went
to the door of the office,
and Captain Nicholas called
out, "Who owns this car?"
I went out and replied, "I
do."
Officer Robertson began
to write out a parking ticket
and Captain Nicholas asked
me several questions about
my home address and my
address in Hattiesburg.
When I asked two of my
companions about the ad

Parents Day
Held Nov. 9
At University
Chancellor Hardin and the
Innocents Society have ex
tended an invitation- to . 11
parents of University students
to come to the campus for
Parents Day Nov. 9.
On Saturday morning there
will be a campus tour con
ducted by members of Build
ers. The Ag campus will be
toured as well as the city
campus.
During the morning a Union
Coffee Welcome will be held.
Members of the Mortar
Boards, Innocents Society,
IFC, Panhellenic, RAM, IWA
and Union Hospitality com
mittee will be present to
welcome the parents.
There will also be Sheldon
Art Gallery tours open to the
parents during the day. And
the Kansas-Nebraska football
game will be played in the
afternoon. A special block of
500 seats has been reserved
for parents on a first come,
first serve basis. Parents
have coupons to mail in if
they desire seats for the
game.
After the game the Student
Union and most fraternities,
sororities and dorms will
sponsor open houses and cof
fee hours.
Difficulties
The goal posts at either end
of the field lasted less then
two minutes after the referess
signalled the end of the game
ai" victory-delirious Nebras
kans converged on them and
took home keepsakes of a
thrilling game.
Nebraskans saw the Corn,
huskers stopped, popped and
strummed out of the game in
the homecoming displays seen
on campus.
After the game many of the
fans traveled to St. Louis or
Kansas City for a night on the
town. Others stayed in Colum
bia and attended one of the
many parties that made that
town hop. Although Missouri
had lost the game, the good ol
Mizzou spirit was far from
lacking as the Tiger's student
body "swung out."
Nebraskans found the Mis
sourlans hospitable and very
friendly even though sad
dened by defeat after the
game. There were a few out
breaks but most of the rivalry
and derogatory remarks were
all in fun. The Mlssourians
seemed to enjoy the Invasion
of Nebraskans as much as the
migrants.
Officer Robertson drove
my car to the police station
and Capt. Nicholas drove
the police car. At the station
they searched my oar, so
1 asked firmly, "Do you have
a search warrant for my
car?" Capt. Nicholas said
that I was also under ar
r it for interfering with an
officer.
I was booked for illegal
parking, intertering with
an officer and suspicion of
auto theft. The Chief of
Police asked me if my par
ents were white, and when
I said yes, he said, "Put him
in a white cell."
When my case was called
before the court the prose
cuting attorney, Mr. Travis,
explained very clearly the
charges and alternative
pleas. 1 made a plea of "no
contention" and agreed to
defend my own case.

Earlier Classes
Not 'Prohibitive',
May Be Needed
This fall, the University
Faculty Senate issued a state
ment that all classes next se
mester will begin on the half
hour instead of the hour.
It did not state that classes
must begin at 8:30 a.m.
Adam C. Breckenridge,
dean of faculties, has con
firmed that 7:30 a.m. classes
will not be prohibitive. He
said that he sees no reason
that if a professor wishes to
do so, that classes may not
begin at 7:30 a.m.
Due to the multiple sections
of some classes it may be
necessary. However, this will
be the exception rather than
the rule, said G. Robert Ross,
dean of student affairs.

The following are import
ant points regarding the test
mony in the trial.
1. Both Capt. Nichols and
Officer Robertson testified
that their attention was
called to my car because it
was sticking out into the
street and was obstructing
traffic. (My car is a 1963
Volkswagen and was actual
ly inside the line of other
parked cars on the street.)
2. Both testified that the
traffic was busy. (It should
be noted that we had made
several trips from the car
to the office, and that, ex
cept for the last time, we
had gotten into the car from
the left side and had no
problems with busy traffic.)
3. Both testified that the
car was three feet from the
curb. Officer Robertson
even said that he had
outs yes
ing a "complete monopoly"
out of the bus service.
In the past, on-campus stu
dents have been allowed to
park on either campus with
the same sticker, but now an
area 2 (city) or area 5 (ag)
sticker can be used only on
the specified campus with the
effect that ag students who
live on City campus cannot
nark on Ag campus.
Ross said in an interview
that the main purpose of the
bus service was not primar
ily to relieve the parking
load, but to provide students
who had no other v means of
transportation a way between
the campuses. He noted that

4. Robertson testified that
he did not open a packet of
leaflets. (I saw him tear
open the packet.)
5. Both testified that I had
told them in no uncertain
terms that they could not
search my car.
1 was fined five dollar's
for illegal parking and fif
teen dollars for interfering
with an officer.
My possessions that were
in the envelope were re
turned to me, but the loose
papers that I had were not.
I paid my fine and went
out to my car. I found that
the things in the car had
been disrupted; my pipe
and tobacco were out ef my
coat pocket, two sport coats
were on the back floor, and
two large personal packets
of papers were missing.

quested some form of trans
portation be provided and the
new bus service system is
now helping many students to
solve the commuting prob
lem. The Ag student said, how
ever, that he did not think Ag
students who live on city cam
pus should have to spend 30
cents for a round trip when
they could drive for about 10
centfrntf vtem twenty min
utes if allowed to park on
both campuses.
He explained that he tried
to buy a sticker which would
allow him to park on Ag cam
pus, but was refused because
he lived within eight blocks of
City campus.
He charged that it is not
fair that -members of frater
nities on Ag campus can park
on both campuses while City
campus sindents who have
classes on Ag are forced to
ride the bus.
According to Capt. Eugene
Masters of the University Po
lice, fraternities on Ag cam
pus are more than eight
blocks from City campos and
anyone living there can buy
an of f -campus parking
sticker, entitling him to park
on either campus.
Masters said that fraterni
ties on Ag campus are con
sidered off-campus housing
(more than eight blocks from
city campus) and therefore
members are allowed to park
on either campus.
