Britain breaks with Uganda
LONDON-Britain severed diplomatic relations with President Idi Amiri's Uganda yesterday in an unprecedented move against member of the British Council.
Foreign Secretary Anthony Crostland announced the break in the House of Commons "with deep regret." Britain, which rarely resorts to breaking diplomatic relations, last severed ties with another country in 1946 when it broke with Albania.
Relations between Britain and Uganda had deteriorated steadily since August 1972 when Amin ordered the expulsion of Asians, mainly Indians and Pakistanis, from Uganda within 90 days. Many held British passports and were brought to Britain in emergency flights.
Ford claims Mississippi
President Gerald Ford's campaign leaders in Mississippi laid claim yesterday to the state's 30 Republican delegates, but Sen. Richard S. Schweiker said yesterday he had persuaded at least 20 Pennsylvania delegates to shift their support away from Ford.
Ford backers said they wouldn't push immediately for a formal poll of the inegation which, if included in his column, could push the President to within a quarter of a mile.
Last night, Mississippi's GOP chairman, Clark Reed, endorsed Ford after Ronald Reagan announced his selection of Schweizer, a liberal, as his choice for president.
Schweiker declined to name the Pennsylvania delegates he said had switched loyalty.
Six delegates he has contacted said they were changing their preference ... Ford to Reagan and at least 14 others were shifting from Ford uncommitted, he said.
Carter briefed bu Bush
PLAINS, Ga. — Democratic presidential nominee Jimmy Carter received a top-secret, full-scale intelligence briefing yesterday designed, in the words of CIA director George Bush, to prevent the candidate from making "the wrong mistake."
Bush and an accompanying group arrived on the grass field that serves as the Plains airborne on two Army helicopters from FT. Bennin, Ga.
Carter had asked for a general intelligence briefing with special attention to such global trouble spots as the Middle Angle, Angola, Rhodesia and South Africa.
Harris mistrial bid fails
LOS ANGELES—William and Emily Harris' lawyers, losing a last bid for a mistrial yesterday, accused the judge of actions "more prosecutorial than the meritorious."
They said he had sanctioned a jury that may include a botber. Supreme Court Judge John Mark Benedict refused to diagnose himself.

"I think the court is now out of control in assuming the role of prosecutor," said chief defense attorney Neleigh Winged. "The court has taken a position more prominent than usual."
Outside court, Weinglass told reporters he felt the judge was "handling the case like a prosecutor gone berserk."
It was the fourth time in two days that the defense had bitterly denounced the judge as biased.
Weinglass and Harris are scheduled to address jurors today before the case is submitted for their verdict.
Vikina I scoops Mars sou
PASADAEN, Calif. - Viking 1, America's robot lab on Mars, scoped up a handful of Martian soil yesterday and quickly began searching the dirt for traces on it.
The event marked the first time man has scratched the surface of another planet, sending data back to Earth.
Although analysis of the Martian material began almost immediately, it may be a matter of weeks before conclusions about life on the red planet can safely be made.
Traffic control stations have been reporting abuses of departmental traffic pass privileges for years, but the problems remain. The agency is training to worry University Police officials.
Campus pass abuses distress KU police
Thomas said the passes were to be used to handle brief business matters, deliveries and other errands. However, some student employees and department personnel have been using the cards for their own benefit—to attend classes or teach them.
According to Mike Thomas, director of University Police, every department is automatically issued two cards to be given to traffic control station operators as authorization for them to be given a temporary pass.
Some people, Thomas reported, renew their passes, which are good for approximately two hours, by traveling to a city where one runs out to acquire another.
The crowded parking situation on Jayhawk Drive, even during the summer session, is due in part to these abuses, Thomas saves.
"Parking on the hill is designed for brief periods and frequent turnover at parking spots," Thomas said, "not for one or two hours while the driver attends class."
Thomas has issued memos to all departments to explain the situation and said he hoped that would be sufficient to stop many of the abuses.
"I don't expect any problems next year. "I hope that by informing the department heads of the problem they will take steps within their departments to reduce it."
If the problem persists into next semester, despite the memo, Thomas said
be would recommend to the Traffic and Safety Board that traffic control station personnel take names of the frequent abusers.
Life on Mars would require natural pumps
Dr. Gerald Soffen expressed optimism that Viking I would find life when it scoops up a sample of the red planet's desert surface today.
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — If there's life on Mars, it is probably a microscopic variety equipped with biological pumps to extract liquid from the very dry atmosphere, Viking I's head scientist said yesterday.
He said that since Mars has been dry for eons, Creatures on Mars would have to have adapted to the relative dryness by pumping it up to draw water from the atmosphere.
"I'm extremely encouraged with the discovery of nitrogen," Soffan said. "That that's why we're so excited."
Now that scientists think life could exist on Mars, they've begun speculating on what it might be like.
If there are Martians, Soffen said, they would be almost certainly in the form of microbes, organisms too small to be seen by the human eye.
And because the planet is so dry, the organisms would have had to develop a mechanism by which to draw water out of the atmosphere, Soften said.
New courses scheduled for fall
Approximately 20 to 30 new courses will be offered by the University of Kansas this fall. Paul Elliott, assistant registrar for admissions and records, said yesterday.

Staff Writer
Most of the new courses will be offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, although no exact count has been made. Elliott said that lists of new courses are no longer printed because many additions are made in August.
IN THE art department, Introduction to Studio will be added to the schedule. This course will stress more studio work than introduction to drawing, which was previously the freshman's only choice of a drawing course.
Included in the new course offerings are changes in the structure of Fine Arts courses for freshmen. Two- and three-dimensional design courses for freshmen will be combined for the fall. Both a lecture and laboratory session will be required.
The change was made in order to allow freshman more choice in their class selection, Lois Green, basic studies director in the School of Fine Arts said.
Elliott said that there would also be new offerings in Liberal Arts and Sciences courses. She said that many LA&S courses are subject to renewal each semester, so it was difficult to guess what the new courses would involve.
The English department of the College will offer several of the new courses.
George Wedge, professor of English, said he will teach a class in the study of written English created in response to student suggestions.
Prof says U.S. can't feed developing nations unaided
"We have wanted to offer a writing course as graduate level for some time," Wedge an
The ultimate responsibility for staving off world-wide famines belongs to developing nations, a University of Kansas expert in Soviet agriculture said recently.
WEDGE SAID that the course would help students at or near graduate level work in relevant areas.
Roy D. Laird, professor of political science and Slavic and Soviet Area Studies, was recently a panel member at the World Food Conference in Ames, Iowa. The conference focused on economic experts from 70 countries attended the quadrennial conference.
Developing nations must cut birth rates and provide incentives to increase farm production, Laird said. The United States can't feed the world, he said.
"The great bulk of surplus U.S. grain should be sold to nations that can afford it at the very best prices it will bring. If we don't, we'll be in serious trouble."
"Our resources aren't unlimited," he said. "The grain-producing countries can provide limited stop-gap shipments, but they are not perfectly in the face of exfoliating populations."
"The United States clearly is the major source of grain for disaster relief, but that in no way means that the American farmer should carry the whole bill."
Many students want some professional composition training before they leave school, and this course is an attempt to meet their needs," he said.
The costs should be paid proportionately by all industrial and oil-rich nations, he said.
Laird said agricultural extension agencies like those in Kansas should be

Madera County sherriff Ed Bates said that the younger Schofield will be flown here to all of the local airports or private air strips just before court time. The arrangement is expected in real time at the new government building in this San Joseau Valley town of 5,000.
New satellite courses involving the study of classical civilization will also be offered by the history department. Dionysos Kounas, professor of history, said that the course will be designed to give the student more intensive instruction in specific areas of classical civilization.
Bates said he will ask the judge to allow authorities to spirit Schoenfeld back to Alameda County immediately after the trial of 16 ids of kidnapping and 16 counts of robbery.
BATES declined to say how many officers would be working on security but said Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT) officers would be standing by and the majority of his officers would be handling traffic problems.
He said he would have to do extensive probuffiling of his about 100 prisoners to meet state requirements that Schofield felt was appropriate or those charged with misdemeanors.
Schoenfeld's lawyers have said they would seek a change of venue for the trial and were expected to ask for a reduction in bail.

established in developing countries. Research methods should be adapted to each country's climate, soil, farm size and culture. Farmers must be guided in the use of seeds, fertilizers and equipment in order to get maximum crop yield, he said.
Artificially low prices imposed by governments in developing countries make it difficult for farmers to invest in fertilizer machinery to increase crop yield, he said.
Wedge said that the new course would often meet with his advanced composition course, which centers on details of legal writing.
