Percy lauds Thailand's 'priorities'
BANGKOK — (UPI) — Sen. Charles Percy of Illinois today praised Thailand for its efforts to defeat Communist insurgents by meeting the needs of its people, and criticized South Vietnam for not doing the same thing.
"That's one of the encouraging things I see here. The Thais are spending 60 per cent of their national budget on development. The
priorities are being set right in Thailand."
Percy made the remarks at a news conference at the Erawan Hotel here shortly before he left for New Delhi with his wife and a party of five others on the next leg of what he called a round the world study trip.
Percy, a Republican and regarded as a dark horse presidential candidate, was lavish in his praise.
Goad impeached-

quency of PDA, Goad replied,
"No comment."
Last night, Goad did note that "I feel that readers of the press misinterpreted the article and the facts therein."
Again asked if he meant that the press misquoted him, Goad said most of the press didn't "misstate it." He explained that he was misquoted in a Dec. 10 Kansas City Star story which he said stated that Goad had ordered hall lounges closed after 7 p.m. and had authorized checks of hallways and stairwells.
"I never did say anything like that," he said.
Fred Krebs, Shawnee Mission senior and president of the Resident Hall President's Association,
said he fully backed Goad and his PDA statements.
"People are a little hot right now," Krebs said, "but they ought to think back on what Emery has done for them.
"Emery was concerned about it (PDA) and was doing the best he could."
Murrell picked as editor of Kansan
Managing editor of the Daily Kansan for spring semester will be Gary Murrell, Independence senior, it was decided at a Kansan Board meeting Thursday.
Bob Nordyke, Ottawa senior was approved as business manager.
The new business manager and editor will make recommendations for other staff positions at a Kansas Board meeting Tuesday.
"The American people fully appreciate what Thailand has done in promising a division for Vietnam," Percy said. "It means 10,000 fewer American boys and that represents a lot of boys and a lot of families in the United States.
"But all of us know that if the war in Vietnam is to be won, the military victory is only a small part of it. We know that the government has not been responsive to the needs of the people in Vietnam, and that's what it takes to win that kind of war."
Percy said in his talks with Thai officials he found them dead set against having American troops participate in the fight against Communist insurgents here as they are doing in Vietnam.
He added that he could not say the United States is winning the war but "progress is being made in a few areas."

Continued from page 1 brought a 220-name petition which asked reconsideration of the promotion committee's decision to Heller's desk Thursday morning.
Design dilemma-
Several students said the petition was not turned in to Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts, or Miss Marjorie Whitney, chairman of both the design department and the promotion committee, because they feared their grades and eventual graduation might be adversely affected.
Gorton this morning would say only that Abrams had not been dismissed, as the story in Thursday's Kansan said.
Miss Whitney has declined to comment.
It's just that Abrams' appointment has not been renewed. Gorton declined to give reporters an appointment because, he said, he had nothing else to say.
Some of these students mentioned a "personality" conflict between Abrams and Miss Whitney.
Miss Whitney's position itself may be a sign of change; she will retire in June, one year ahead of
the mandatory retirement age of 65 for administrators.
There was virtually nothing in the department of design before Miss Whitney took over in 1946, one student said, and she built it up to a respectable department.
But the student pointed out that Miss Whitney has been at KU since 1929. She received her bachelor's degree from KU in 1927.
"She just hates to see something she worked so hard to build up change," the student charged.
Some observers both in and out of the design department claimed her retirement came in conjunction with the October decision to seek an associate dean to represent the "visual arts" in the fine arts school.
However, Heller noted that Miss Whitney submitted her resignation last spring, long before Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe created the associate dean post. Heller said she would continue teaching until she reached the mandatory faculty retirement age of 70.
