100 Phone 774-4545 FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA, City of Seven Wonders Price 10c Thursday, Dec. 3, 1964 frDfo) For Firsf Year as Northern Arizona University ASCs (Enrollment 6,000 by '66 If under the 5,000 mark. Only six years ago, it was barely over the 1,100 mark. With this burgeoning enrollment, and the expected growth by another thousand students by the time university status is reached, ASC will be reorganized under a new table of organization as Northern Arizona University. The State Board of Regents, which last Saturday decreed uni- HOW WOULD YOU SOLVE THE PROBLEM? In about five weeks the 27th Arizona Legislature will convene, confronted by the usual spate of problems plus a dandy new one which will tax the combined tolerance, good-will, wisdom and gift for compromise of our 108 assembled solons (28 Senators and 80 Representatives).

This problem is redistrict-ing. It results from a ruling of the Supreme Court that each person in the U.S. should have as nearly as possible equal representation in state Legislatures and in Congress. A three-man Federal court has ruled that Arizonas Legislative and Congressional districts do not comply with the rule. There is something to be said in favor of this thinking as far as Congressional districts are concerned.

District No. 1, Maricopa county, has a population (as of 1960) of about 660,000, or half the states total. District No. 2, Cochise, Pima, Pinal, Santa Cruz and Yuma counties, has a population of about 440,000. And the district in which in northern Arizona live, No.

3, comprised of Coconino, Navajo, Apache, Mohave, Yavapai, plus Greenlee, Gila and Graham, has a population of about 200,000. No matter how districts 2 and might be arranged to make them equal to each other in population, district No. 1 would still have a population equal to both. So any way you figure it, it will be necessary to whack up Maricopa county in some way in order to equalize population in the three districts. Most citizens agree that Congressional districts probably should be approximately equal In population.

But how are you going to do it in Arizona and still be fair about it? Of one thing we may be sure: there will be a lot of speeches. And of another thing we may be sure: somehow, the problem will be solved within 30 days of the end of the regular session or the three-man Federal court will come in and do it for us. Here we have touched only on the matter of Congressional re-districung. Redistricting- for 'foe Legislature is something else again, and we will attempt to point up some of the problems in future columns. Implementation of the reorganization of ASC into Northern Arizona University will be a sizeable task, but not as big as it might have been had not Walkup and his top staff foreseen some of the problems and provided for them in their planning in the past few years.

Actually, the change should be accomplished smoothly in the al-loted year and half before ASCs university status becomes official, and, Walkup points out, it should not be a matter of great expense, either to students attending the Flagstaff institution, or to the taxpayers of the state. By May 1, 1966. when ASC officially becomes NAU, it will be a university not only in name and status, but in actual administrative and academic fact. By WILLIAM HOYT (Last of Four Articles) By 1966, when Arizona State College at Flagstaff is scheduled to become Northern Arizona University, the number of students on the Flagstaff campus is expected to be very close to the 6.000 mark. So says ASCs president Dr.

J. Lawrence Walkup who is primarily responsible for preparing the Flagstaff college for university status on. May 1, 1966. Walkup '-says projections of ASCs enrollment for the 1966-67 year indicate about 5,000 day students and a total of 5,900 altogether. Next year, estimates put ASCs total enrollment the neighborhood of 5,400 students.

These figures are just about 1.000 and 500 respectively over the current enrollment at ASC which this fall hit 4,967 just deans of the universitys four colleges and two schools, over the registrar, the director of admissions and dean of the graduate school and coordinator of liberal studies in the undergraduate schools. -The business managers responsibility will include the activities of the purchasing agent, the comptroller, the business office manager and the book store manager. The director of the physical plant oversees the college architect, the manager of college maintenance, the foreman of grounds and the supervisor of maintenance. The college relations director will have charge of placement activities, the alumni, relations with high school and with other universities and colleges.

(AP) Negotiators worked behind the scenes at the United Nations today amid rising hopes for an agreement to clear away the world organizations deep financial and constitutional crisis. Backstage talks being conducted by Secretary-General Thant got an endorsement at a three-hour meeting Wednesday between the foreign ministers of the U.N.s biggest antagonists on the issue, the United States and the Soviet Union. Secretary of State Dean Rusk termed his conference with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko "constructive. U.S.

Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson, who sat in on the luncheon meeting, was said to feel the talks were useful and good. With the Soviets for the first time showing interest in discussing the financing of U.N. peace-keeping operations but not yet in accord with the United States on the matter the initiative was turned over to Thant. U.N.

financing is not purely a U.S.- Soviet. affair and other nations must be heard from too, Rusk said. A group of Asian-African countries promptly presented Thant a three-point plan. Informed sources said the Soviets and the Americans agreed to the plan in part but set conflicting conditions. At the heart of he crisis has been the Soviet refusal to pay U.N.

The Soviets contend they were illegaL The United States, the biggest contributor, says all must pay their share or the United Nations will founder. The African-Asian plan proposed that: 1. The General Assembly declare the U.N. Charters Article 19 inapplicable in the present case.

This is the provision that any member two years behind in its dues in this case the Soviet Union shall lose its assembly vote. 2. A study group be formed to work out plans for future financing of peace-keeping versity status and name for ASC, will, of course, still have overall jurisdiction over the institution, and Dr. Walkup will continue to head up its administrative and academic organization. Under Walkup, five divisions will be provided under key administrative officers administrative vice president, academic vice president, business manager, director of the physical plant and executive director of college relations.

These posts, under present plans for ASC as a university, will be filled by those now holding the roughly equivalent positions in the college organization in order, Executive Dean Dr. Virgil Gillenwater, Dean of Instruction Dr. Charles Meister, Business Manager Verne Pitcher, Physical Plant director Paul Peters and Director of College Relations Dr. Lewis McDonald. The administrative vice president will have direct supervision over the dean of students, associate dean of students, director of housing, director of security and health services.

The academic vice president will have jurisdiction, with the president, over the academic Northern Arizona University, a new name and new status for Arizona State College in 1966, has already caused a great deal of activity among the students enrolled at the college. The "university" status "was a-warded to ASC recently by the Board of Regents, to become effective May 1, 1966. While the college will remain officially ASC until 1966, the students arent going to wait. They are extremely proud of the new status and prestige a-warded ASC with its university status, and they want everyone to know about Northern Arizona University at Flagstaff. Dr.

Burton R. Clark, renowned educational sociologist from the University of California at Berkley, will speak on the Arizona State College campus tonight, on the appropriate and timely subject of The Changing Role of Colleges and Universities. Dr. Clark, of the Center for Study of Higher Education at Berkeley, will speak at 7p.m. in the Little Theatre of the ASC Liberal Arts building.

His talk is being sponsored by the college and the American Sociological Association. NAU IN 66 Robert Jacobson, Arizona State College commercial art faculty, works on the first of a series of sketches to depict the new status and name, Northern Arizona University, which becomes official for ASC in May of 1966. Looking on is John Mackler, manager of the college bookstore. Mackler has already been besieged by college students clamoring for bumper stickers, decals, notebooks, stationery, sweatshirts, and other items displaying ASCs university status, awarded recently by the Board of Regents. (ASC Photo) Sen.

Williams Called 'Liar' John Mackler, manager of the ASC bookstore, has been besieged by students clamoring for bumper stickers, decals, notebooks, stuffed animals, and other novelty items, with the new letters NAU or Northern Arizona University. Students are also concerned a-bout the change in diplomas and class rings that will occur. As a result Robert Jacobson, commercial art faculty, is working on a series of sketches to depict NAU. He plans to have them ready for consideration by next week. Mackler said as soon as any decision is made on the design he will order the new items.

Many campus organizations, such as the college Rodeo Club, are making arrangements to change the lettering and insignia on their jackets immediately. Organization stationery is another item that students plan to change as soon as possible. The college newspaper, The Lumberjack, will display Northern Arizona University in 1966 in its nameplate beginning with this week's issue. The campus radio station, KASC is considering changing its call letters to KNAU as soon as possible. The eventual change to university in name and status will involve a host of other things too, including such things as the cheers, yells and songs.

There are also three large letters affixed to the front of the Student Union building at the campus entrance which dont spell NAU. Attention to such physical changes involved in the shift to university status, as well as work on other phases of reorganization regarding the change, will occupy ASCs administration faculty and staff considerably in the next year and a half until the change officially becomes Bobby Baker Hearings urn Into Shouting Match I th GOP Governors Begin Look at Divided Party DENVER, Colo. (AP) Sen. Barry Goldwaters supporters stood on the sidelines today as Republican governors gathered here for a searching look at the future of their badly divided party. About the only representative of the Goldwater conservative viewpoint scheduled to be on hand in this extraordinary session of state GOP executives is Gov.

Tim M. Babcock of Montana. A supporter of Goldwater before the San Francisco convention, Babcock won re-election after moving away from the GOP presidential nominee during the campaign. Progressive Republicans, including three Rockefellers, were converging on Denver for a session that might produce some challenging statements but that seemed unlikely to provide the impetus to unseat GOP National Chairman Dean Burch. Solidly supported by Gold-water, Burch will risk his a-year job on a confidence vote in a national committee session Jan.

22-23 in Chicago. Gov. Paul Fanning of Arizona, elected to the Senate to fill the seat that Goldwater will vacate In the new Congress, sent word that he could not be on hand for the meeting here. F. Clifton White, regarded as one' of the real pros of the Goldwater campaign, canceled hotel reservations, indicating he would not be on hand to defend Goldwaters interests.

Bulletin Vv; WASHINGTON (AP) The Bobby Baker hearings exploded into a shouting match today with special Rules Committee counsel Lennox P. McLendon calling Sen. John J. Williams, a liar. You are absolutely, unalterably untrue in that statement, yelled McLendon, a white-haired 74-year-old attorney.

Williams had said that he had told McLendon he had additional information about government contracts handled by the McCloskey Construction Co. But, he said, McLendon was not interested in pursuing the information unless it involved Baker and other figures in the current hearing. Thats when the explosion came. BC -1 4 mm 1 lid WASHINGTON (AP) U.S. Ambassador Maxwell D.

Taylor said after a second meeting with President Johnson today he does not see any requirement for an increase in U.S. manpower in South Viet Nam. He told newsmen after a one-hour White House meeting that his consultation with the President and top policy leaders had concerned about everything you can think of in steps to help South Viet Nams war effort against Communist Just a minute, shouted Sen. Carl T. Curtis, R-Neb.

This is an impertinence such as I have never before seen. This is the first time an employe of the Senate has called a senator a liar. He has disqualified himself. Williams interjected that he did, too, make such a statement on last Friday. I deny emphatically any word of it, McLendon said.

There is not an ounce, not an element of truth in it. Curtis continued to demand that McLendon remove himself from his post as special counseL I've got a right, said McLendon. Im not going to sit here and be publicly misrepresented. Williams sat quietly while Curtis and McLendon exchanged sharp comments. During a lull, he commented that McLendon had a perfect right to state his understanding of the conversation.

Williams, who furnished much of the information that triggered the Baker probe, declared the Rules Committee might find it very interesting if it did look into various government construction projects handled by the McCloskey company. left to right are Larry Deibel, Myma Whiting, and Snsan Walkup, members of the Gibbs family.

From Sounds Warning fo Others Parks Hunter Describes Tularemia Two Growths Removed on LBJs Hand WASHINGTON (AP) Two small wart-like growths were removed from President Johnsons right hand today. He was given a local anesthetic and the growths were removed by an electric needle. Johnson told newsmen, It was nothing.

He said he had had a dozen similar growths removed in past years. Press secretary George Reedy first announced that one growth had been removed. But two bandages were obvious on the President's hand when he appeared later at Georgetown University to speak. Reedy then confirmed that two growths had been re mewed. before it is eliminated.

The doctor warned all rabbit and varmint hunters in the area to exercise extreme caution this year, with any quarry they may take. But if you dont believe doctors, if you think theyre sounding the call of gloom far too loudly, then drop in on Robert McKown in room 18 at Flagstaff Community Hospital. Youll find a man who is grateful to be alive, sincerely interested in preventing further human suffering as a result of tularemia, who plans to return to hunting and fishing when hes able, and who is grateful for all kindness and concern shown by his doctor, his neighbors, and the hospital staff. twice hes certain, though his doctor has never confirmed this. The tularemia bacillus went through his entire system and caused him to have strep throat encephalitis, and finally pneumonia, he says.

Hes just now recovering from the pneumonia. The results? A tremendously high medical bill for all the hospital care including a number of days spent in isolation a severe financial setback, and somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 injections since he first entered the hospital. Fortunately, McKown and his wife had good neighbors, who have provided them with groceries and cash during the crisis and their four children, three sons and a daughter ranging in age from 16 to 10, have been able to continue schooling in Parks and Williams. But hes not concerned about the personal agony the illness has caused him. His main concern now, he says, is to get the idea to the people to be very, very careful when they go rabbit hunting.

Ive hunted rabbits all my life, he says, but one time of this sickness isnt worth it for the whole time. "Theres just no telling how much damage it can do, he warned. His warning a very personal and sincere one seconds a highly professional one sounded last week by Coconino County Health Officer, Dr. Hugh Dierker, who cautioned that the epidemic must run its full course severely decimating the rabbit population thumb of his right hand was his eventual undoing. One week after the hunting expedition he became ill with alternate chills and fever and by the next day he froze all day long.

For the next two days, he suffered with a "terrific headache and finally his wife called their doctor in Flagstaff, who recommended that he be brought to the hospital at once. Once in Flagstaff Community Hospital, the doctor tried to break the fever with penicillin shots and other antibiotics, but nothing seemed to work. "Nothing would stop it, is the way the victim puts it. On Nov. 4, he checked back into the hospital and hes been there ever since, flat on his back, weak, and near death at least By PAUL SWEITZER Robert L.

McKown, Parks, is a 36-year-old electrician, who has hunted rabbits all my life. Back in late October, however, he or one of his hunting companions shot THE rabbit that almost proved fatal to the devoted hunter. It turned out that in their bag of 11 rabbits and nine squirrels on that day, McKown and his hunting companions shot a rabbit with tularemia, a disease that spreads in epidemic proportions through the rabbit and varmint populations of Arizona just a-bout every five or six years. McKown knowing full well about the disease was very careful in handling the rabbits, and he did notice one that he now realizes had signs of the dread disease, but a small cut near the Lee Thomas Is New Ho pi Tribal Chairman KEAMS CANYON (AP) The new Hopi tribal chairman is Lee Thomas of Oraibi.
