Ford, Reagan to standoff in KC
From The Associated Press
President Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan fought to a standoff in primaries yesterday that virtually guarantees a fight to the convention in Kansas City two months
Reagan took the California primary and with it the 167 delegates that go to the winner there. But Ford won almost all of Ohio's 97 delegates, and an uncommitted slate that swapped New Jersey's 67 delegate with packed with the President's supporters.
Jimmy Carter, at best an outsider when the primaries begin, has抓 his cap from nowhere with a delegate harvest that he can wield as a political force in the Democratic presidential nomination.
For the Republicans, the end of the primaries means a continuation of Ronald Reagan's policy. The Democrats are pushing back.
Carter won only in Ohio of the three big
states that held primaries yesterday. But he picked up more than 200 delegates, and all his rivals had one seemed ready to concede him the nomination.
The one who said he won't quit chasing Carter is Jerry Brown, who won in his home state of California and was joined with Hubert Humphrey as preferred candidates on an uncommitted delegate state that won in New Jersey.

Elections for state offices and an address by Attorney General Curt Schneider will highlight today's activities of the 34th anniversary of Kansas State, at the University of Kansas.
The 406 girls attending the conference will choose candidates from the Nationalist and Federalist parties. Schneider will speak on the role of the Attorney General in Kansas.
Winners in the primary race were announced yesterday. Nationalist candidate Ann Walderd, Greensburg, will run against nominee Ann Covitt, Russell, for governor.
Federalist Chery Lindy, Dexter, will run against Nationalist candidate Susan Sawyer in the presidential race.
"The most important thing I have learned from Girls State is that people should start taking back control of their government," Carlie said. "There is not enough interest in government and I feel people should get involved."
The 1792 governor of Girls State, Betty
Cruille, Caney, said she believes citizens
can teach them to bear arms.
The attorney general's post will go to Rochele Michaux, Federalist, Leavenworth, or Lori Heidebrecht, Nationalist, McPherson.
The nominees for secretary of state are Dorothy Frey, Nationalist Party, Hutchinson, and Jodi Buterbaugh, Federalist, Winfield.
Girls State is a week-long program designed to teach girls about city, county, and state government procedures, Imagine the director of Girls State, said yesterday.
She said she thought there were too many appointed officials and not enough elected
The Girls State "Government in Action" program is sponsored by the American Association of Teachers.
The program began Sundav.
"Everyone involved with the Watergeague mistakes were appointed, except for one," Carlie said. "The government is being asked to review all of the people and we should get it back."
No political ideology is pushed on the girls from the directors, Carlie said, and a girl's speech in this room could be anything.
Melissa Mitchell, Overland Park, she said was excited about the week-long political debate.
All girls were assigned to political parties on Sunday. The Nationalists and Federalists debate during the day, and some discussions have continued until 3 a.m. Carlie said. "It was like one big slumber party," she said.
"I feel like a real politician, with all the campaigns going on here," Mitchell said. "I was bewildered at first, but I'm enjoying all the issues raised."
Three delegates to Girls Nation will be elected Saturday, Girls Nation will be next month in Washington, D.C., and will be joined by Boys Nation for the first time this year.
According to previous Girls Staters,
friendship is the highlight of the experience.
Former delegates help as counselors during the week. "I've made a lot of friends here. Everyone wants to help each other," Deb Feldhausen, Marysville, said.
The motto of Girls State is, "Pride In Thy Country; Faith In Thyself." Girls State's purpose is to develop leadership, to stress the importance of democracy, to instill a better understanding of our national values, to give students involvement and to develop potential leaders of the future, Fatt Huffman, Girls State news director, said.
City commission studies stray animal problem
The Humane Society opposed any action that might increase the number of animals sent to the center. The shelter has a number of animals that usually butts between 56 and 60.
For more than an hour, city commissioners discussed the growing problem with irate citizens, Humane Society officials, and the animal control officer.
According to the animal control officer, the majority of offenders are University of Kansas students. KU officers are not tough enough with students who own dogs, he said.
Careless dog owners will be given tickets for allowing their animals to run loose. Mayor Fred Pence said at last night's Lawrence City Commission meeting.
The amount of the fine should increase with each repeated offense, the commissioners said. They also suggested that the dog should be paid if the dog has no rabies license.
Pence said that his plan would soon teach "chronic abusers" to think twice before he did anything.
In 1974 and 1975 an average of 123 dogs per month were destroyed.
The mayor's suggestion was met with approval by the Humane Society officials, but the animal control officer said that such a policy would increase the difficulty of his
The Commission, and most of the assembly, agreed that the owner is responsible for his dog and that he should suffer the consequences, not the dog.
The meeting began with an invitation to the Commission to attend the Bicentennial celebration at the Kaw River Trail and participate in the ribbon cutting ceremony.
City Manager Buford Watson will consider the various proposals and submit his report.
"I believe you ought to be your brother's keeper—but not his dog's," said Pence.
Bids submitted by area construction firms for three sewer projects were then opened and read to the Committee by the Director of Public Works, George Williams.
The celebration will be held on Saturday and will include the presentation of the official Lawrence Bicentennial Commission.
Among the apparent lowest bidders for the projects were Brown Brothers Construction Co. of Lawrence, and Hill Construction Co. of Olathe.
statewide competition for 38 Democratic delegates
The Commission also considered appointments to fill vacancies on six boards and commissions. Following adjournment of the meeting the Commission members continued their discussion on the new appointments in an executive session.
With 83 per cent of the vote counted in Republican delegate competition, a nominally uncommitted slate of party leaders who actually favor Ford won 63 convention seats, with returns yet to be tailed for the other four.
In the Democratic presidential preference vote, which was only for show since it committed no delegates, 91 per cent of the precincts had been counted.
Carter had 188.261 or 57 per cent.
Church was second with 64,771 or 19 per cent.
The rest was split three wavs.
In the Democratic competition that really counted, 75 per cent of the precincts had reported. Udall was leading for three delegates. New Jersey elected 108 Democratic delegates, but no returns had been tallied in the other contests.
The statewide delegate vote, which was for 27 of the delegates, showed:
for 27 of the delegates, showed
Uncommitted 157,920 or 42 per cent.
Carter 106,428 or 28 per cent. The balance was split four ways.
Here is how the delegate count looks with the primaries over :
Carter, who picked up 218 delegates on Tuesday, now has 1,125 of the 1,963 needed for nomination. His closest pursuit is Rep. Morris K. Udall, who has 334.8, Brown, who won 208 in California, has 225 and a number uncommitted bloom of over 400 delegates.
Ford has a lead over Reagan of 892-688, with 1,130 needed to be the nominee. But Ford's edge is actually greater since no more than a handful of the nominally uncommitted 67-member New Jersey delegation backs Reagan.
Library support, care head '78 KU budget
See ELECTION page 2
By TOM BOLITHO
The University of Kansas submitted to the staff of the Board of Regents its budget for new and improved programs for fiscal year 1978 yesterday.
Staff Writer
University officials will meet with the budget official June 17 or 18 to submit the budget officially.
The University has categorized the budget into four priority sections totaling nearly $2.5 million. Library support and maintenance and replacement of scientific and general equipment headed the sections with a total request of $660,000.
Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, said yesterday that he met with the Regens' staff yesterday to list University's requests for student requests would be made of the Regents.
The section that deals with programs directly related to the University's "instructional mission" is most important, Shankel said. In addition to containing a faculty catalog of tenure and replacement of scientific equipment, the first section contains requests for fee waivers for graduate teaching assistants ($156,241) and occupation and operation of the Helen Spencer Museum of Art ($108,734).
The second priority section, which includes programs related to the University's organized research and service missions, lists requests for funds for a program for the University's Geological Survey ($71,132) and additional funds for research by the State Biological Survey and the State Geological Survey ($432,119). The survey institutions propose to study the chemical quality of irrigation waters in western Colorado, where most of new fuel resources and other tonics.
Full funding requests for the law enforcement training center and firemanship instruction (4281,380) constitute the third section. These are programs already approved by the Kansas Legislature but requiring state funding.
The final section deals with federally-funded programs. The department of agriculture made a macy capitation grants ($108,558) were previously funded in part by the federal government. This federal money will likely be cut off next year, Shankel said.
Shankel said he hoped the regents would accept eight or 10 of the University's priorities, but probably only about five or six would be accepted.
At an earlier meeting, all the state schools were granted a seven per cent salary increase for faculty and a 10 per cent increase in operating expenses. The University is also seeking a seven per cent increase in student hourly fees.
"I think that these programs would be better in terms of being as well as the University," Shankel said.
The program for the severely hand-dicapped in rural areas and the research funds for the State Biological and Geological Surveys are also important, although they will probably be trimmed, he said.
Shankle said that the political considerations concerning acceptance of the budget were complex and that it was too difficult for the legislature and the governor would react.
"The library support request is very important if we are to keep up with the rising cost of books and journals, and we need to be more patient longer for the students," Shankel said.
Shankel also said that the requests for maintenance and replacement of scientific equipment, fee waivers for graduate teaching assistants and operation of the new Spencer Museum of Art were at the top of the priorities list.
"With the elections coming up, I really can't say exactly how they will react to the budget, but Governor Bennett has always done a goal job in the past," Shankel said.
Union's image modernized
The Kansas Union logo, as well as the main entrance to the Union building itself,
A new logo submitted by Debbie Stiles, a former senior, was selected by a panel of three.
The design was selected from a group of 15 logos submitted to the Union by juniors and seniors in graphic design classes. The students also entered a cover design and an internal layout design for a new Union logo and feature in the Union-sponsored contest.
Stephens received $50 from the Union for her design. She's also helping the Union
incorporate the design in the brochure and Union advertisements.
"I used the circle to represent the center of things. The Union is the center point of KE."
The logotype was chosen by Frank Burge, Union director; Patricia Wolfe, Union administrative assistant; and Mike Miller, Union activities adviser.
Miller said all the designs were good, but
these had a clean, vibrant and pleasing look.
and sophistication.
"We're updating the building and we're updating the building. We've been here 50 years ago." Miller said.
The Union judges also picked a design by Danny Womack, Kansas City, Kan., senior, for the inside layout of a Union services brochure.
The new brochure will be both informational and promotional, according to Miller. It will be indexed and will provide a building map of and phone directory for the building.
Two classes in graphic design taught by Jerry Moore, associate professor of design, and Frank Reiber, associate professor of design, tackled the Union's design problem. Each participating student submitted a design solution, and Moore and Reiber narrowed the entries to 15 before sending the designs to the Union.
The northeast entrance of the Union meanwhile, should be re-opened by the fall semester, but facelift work elsewhere in the city will continue through the summer of 1977.
Pat Wolfe, an administrative assistant at the Union, said yesterday the renovation would give the building a new appearance inside and out.
Woife said the terrace outside the east entrance would eventually be remodeled into a garden.
On the main level of the union, the lounge area will be renovated and expanded by the removal of the music and browsing room, Wolfe said. The center-west stairs, no longer needed, will be removed, providing more floor space on all five levels of the building.
The northeast entrance has been closed since May 25, and the aluminum and glassfloor canopy outside is being replaced with a more substantial structure, which Wolfe said would complement the brick Union.
Woife said that permanent stations for leaflet distribution would be built near the northeast entrance, eliminating the need for setting up tables for groups there.
The Hawk's Nest is to be remodeled for its new role as an evening entertainment center. Wofa said work should start there in mid-July.
During the remodeling, she said all customers included, including the bookstore and food services.
Union remodeling
Construction materials now fill the space at the north end of the Kansas Union lobby that use to be occupied by tables set up to
distribute leaflets. Work on remodeling the inside of the Union should continue through the summer of 1977.
