From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 18, 1975:

• Edward Erazmus, director of Kansas University’s Intensive English Center, submitted his resignation this week, effective June 30. Erazmus was stepping down to “try to unburden myself a little bit,” he said this morning. He added that his action was a personal decision, not the result of pressure from IEC students or the staff of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, which administered the center. IEC students had staged a protest the previous spring, demanding changes in their texts, teachers, building, and administrators.
• In Topeka today, the Kansas House rejected a conference committee report on the bingo bill and asked for a new conference committee. Chief objections from the House concerned an alteration in anti-discrimination language and the removal of a provision which would have prohibited consumption of alcoholic beverages at the time and place that bingo was being played.
