India, China thaw possible
NEW DELHI-India took a first step yesterday toward a possible rapprochement with China, saying it will send an ambassador to Peking for the first time since the two countries fought a border war in 1962.
A top career diplomat, K. R. Narayanan, 55, was appointed as the new ambassador. He is expected to take up his post in about two months.
Indian sources said the two governments worked out the arrangement during three months of discussions held here and in Peking.
1. there was no immediate reaction from Peking, but the Chinese have said in the past that India must take the initiative in restoring relations because New Delhi has lost its connection with China.
Sakharov reported beaten
MOSCOW - Nobel Peace Prize winner Andrei D. Sakharov and wife received restitution belies yesterday for striking two police officers Wednesday, accusing him of assault.
Sakharov and his wife had been in the Siberian city of Orsk to attend the trial of Crimean Tatar national Mustafa Dilmeny.
Sakharov's wife Yelena said in a telephone call to friends in Moscow that the two had been taken back to a police station Thursday morning after Dijelmile's sentencing and beaten. Court officials claimed they created a disturbance when Dijelmile's sentence was announced, Yelena said.
It was not known how serious the reported beating was but the couple apparently did not seek medical treatment.
Birth control opinion filed
WASHINGTON—The Ford administration has asked the Supreme Court to rule that a state may not require maternal consent before allowing minors to receive vaccines. The Department of Public Health said.
The Ford administration's view on a UAah case raising the question was made known by a brief filed Wednesday by the Justice Department and the Department of Justice.
The three-judge court in Salt Lake City ruled that Utah's parental consent requirement violated a "constitutional right of free access to birth control information."
The government did not deal with the constitutional issue, but said that federal law, 'by requiring the furnishing of services to the individuals, rather than to families ... evinces a congressional intention that the services be furnished to the individuals' because request, without regard to the possibly conflicting conditions of a parent or spouse'.
Malpractice bills praised
TOPEKA-At it will be some time before the true effectiveness is known, but Gov. Robert F. Bennett said a package of medical malpractice bills he signed into law yesterday may have saved Kansas from a malpractice crisis that might have lost the state doctors.
Brennett says the legislation should represent a giant step ahead in the field of improving services to healthcare providers. At the same time, he said, it will ebb away from the idea of providing services to people with cancer.
One of the most important bills in the 12-piece package will guarantee professional liability coverage for qualified health care providers, and another reduces and clarifies the period for filing damage claims against health care providers.
The governor said these two bills would have a major impact on the availability and cost of insurance.
WSU appeal denied
TOPEKA—a Request for another rehearing in the lawsuit against Wichita State University, arising from the 1970 plan crash that killed several members of the team and caused a multi-vehicle accident.
The decision supports a ruling by the high court last month declaring that governmental immunity laws are constitutional.

Council member Joel Gold, professor of English, said it was improper for Cotton to "scindling council members" for their motion in a motion that had already been defeated.

The change in withdrawal policy would clarify the University Senate Rules and Regulations, according to Arno Knapler, professor of finance at the business. The old policy didn't say whether a student was subject to the withdrawal policy or to the policy of the school offering a class.
CURRENTLY, University withdrawal policy says a student can withdraw from a class until the final day of classes. Some KU students are required to receive more restrictive withdrawal policies.

CHANCELLOR R. Dykes has requested reductions in student activity and transportation fee charges because of a lack of athletic opportunities to the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation. Teddie Tasheff, student body president, said last night another reason for the cut in the two fees was that the KU will be providing partial funding of the KU debate program.
The debate program had been fully funded by the Student Senate from activity
STUDENTS enrolled in seven hours or more would pay $8.00, instead of the present fee.
If approved by the Regents, the new schedule would reduce the student activity fee from $2 an hour to $1.60 an hour for students taking six or fewer credit hours.
The transportation fee, if approved,
would increase from 15 cents an hour to 30
cents an hour for students taking six or
fewer hours. For students in enrolled in
hours or more, the fee would increase from
$1.50 to $1.80.
According to Steve McMurry, chairman of the Student Senate Rights and Responsibilities Committee, the changes in these fees, which are part of eight incident fees charged to all students, are being made to ensure the entire fee structure more workable.
McMurry said the fee system now used to compute the two activity fees, which are assessed by the Senate, doesn't follow a standard pattern for students enrolled part-time.
THE CHANGES proposed in the schedule would require all students, regardless of the number of hours taken, to pay a proper proportion of the cost. A certain number of hours in which they are enrolled.
The Regents also have been requested to authorize collection of a $3 satellite union architectural fee for each full-time student enrolment this fall. A $6 construction fee be collected for the spring 1977 semester and subsequent fall and spring semesters.
A $2.50 fee would be collected for summer 1977 enrolments.
A request is also being made to increase the equivalent full-time limitation by 400 on the number of classified employees at KU so that qualified employed employees would become classified.
Richard Von Ende, executive secretary to the Chancellor's office, said employees, such as medical secretaries at the Med Center, could become classified if there were available classified positions open and if the job categories fell into civil service job categories.
If the positions don't fit into current civil service job categories, Von Ende said, new classifications for the employees might be sought.
A limit on the number of classified schools' schools is set by the state legislature.
Von Ende said the employees were doing jobs that could be considered classified.
APPROVAL OF promotions in rank, sabbatical leaves and emeritus appointments for KU faculty also are to be considered.
