Asylum given deserters
STOCKHOLM — (UPI) — Three more U.S. military deserters won virtual political asylum in neutral Sweden today. A three-man aliens committee recommended that William Percell, 21, of Miami, Fla., David Michael Haire, 19, of Beaufort, S.C., and Edward Johnson, 21, of Cleveland, Ohio, be given sanctuary "for humanitarian reasons."
The full aliens commission normally follows the committee's recommendations.

Meanwhile, police said three other GIs arrived Tuesday night from West Germany and asked for Asylum Wednesday morning.
A spokesman identified them as Cpl. James Grant, 30, of Meridian, Miss., Joseph Norwood, 20, of Los Angeles and John Dowling, 20, of San Diego, Calif.
Grant, a Negro, told police he was based in the United States and was visiting his wife in Germany before leaving for Vietnam when he decided to desert. Norwood and Dowling both served in the U.S. Army in Mainz, West Germany, and deserted when they learned they were being ordered to Vietnam.

KU gets grant
Two research grants totaling $121,200 have been awarded to KU by the National Science Foundation.
The larger grant of $84,800 is for undergraduate research participation. The grant will provide funds for 63 undergraduates selected from 10 university departments for the coming year.
servicemen in Sweden to avoid the war.
The second grant of $36,400 went to Robert W. Lichtwardt, professor of botany, to continue his research on trichomycetes, a group of fungi.
Four of them were the U.S. sailors who deserted their ship in Japan Oct. 23 and made their way to Sweden via Moscow with the help of a Japanese antiwar committee and the Soviet government. They were granted asylum Tuesday by the aliens commission.
The commission, however, said the four were not considered "political refugees" and were being given refuge in Sweden on "humanitarian grounds."
Students back Rep. Bob Dole for U.S. Senate
A 20-member student committee has announced its formation to support the candidacy of Rep. Bob Dole, R-Kan., for the United States Senate.
Dole recently announced he will seek the seat being vacated by Sen. Frank Carlson.
Bruder Stapleton, Fort Scott senior and senior class president, was named as spokesman for the committee. He has written to Dole announcing the committee's formation and inviting the senatorial hopeful to the campus.
Potter Lake tree stump to stay put
There is bad news for sled and tobogan fans on the east side of Potter Lake. A tree stump there, reportedly the cause of numerous recent sledding accidents, will not be removed until spring.
"The ground is too frozen to pull the stump out now," Harry M, Buchholz, superintendent of the physical plant, said Wednesday. "The stump will be pulled out by spring."
Buchholz said a dead elm tree had been cut down by Buildings and Grounds workmen just before the holiday and other priorities kept the workmen from removing the stump at that time.
Buchholz added that he did not think the stump was any more of a danger now than when it was a fullgrown tree.
"When the tree was cut, enough of the stump was left so that it could be seen," he said.
Olson's condition 'fair'
Donald L. Olson, a KU graduate critically injured in an automobile accident Dec. 2 was listed in fair condition Wednesday at the KU Medical Center.
Olson had been the business manager of "The Screw," KU's underground newspaper this semester.
