New Black Panhellenic to unite black Greeks
Staff Writer
By KAREN RAYNES
They can be recognized on a campus any day with T-shirts that are pink and green, red and white, black and gold or purple and gold.
The shirts signify that they belong to any of the five black fraternities or sororities on campus.
The organizations recently banned
teacher to form the Black Panellencio
Caucus.
Members said this week that the council had been formed to bring unity to the black Greek organizations and to aid them in working together with black students.
thomas Vaughn, Chicago law student,
 came up with the idea of starting the Black
Pacific Legal Alliance.
The council now consists of one member from each black fraternity or sorority and also a member of a social organization on campus.
The members were unanimous in their expressions on the goal of the council to bring together black Greek organizations and students in general.
Dexter White, president of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, said the Black Panhellenic was a base to bring black students together.
He said that because there was no Black Student Union on campus, the Black panhandle could serve as an interaction between universities and sororities for all black students.
Arvetta Gumby, president of Alpa
kappa Alpha sorority, said the council
had agreed to accept her.
KU never had WATS line, operator says
The University of Kansas didn't have Wide Area Telephone Service (WATS) to Kansas City and Topeka before the new long distance system was put into use, according to Emadeane Barland, chief university operator.
According to Barland, a WATS line can be used to call any phone within a certain radius of the WATS phone or within a certain area code. KUU didn't have this kind of phone said, because the lines that the University had were only in Kansas City and Topeka.
PALAND SAID Wednesday that KU had Government Exchange (GX) to the U.S.
Yesterday's Kansan said KU had five WATS lines to Topeka and six to Kansas City. Those lines were actually FX and GX lines, Bartland said.
Barland explained that KU had only four long-distance lines to Topena and five to Kansas City. The other two lines were used by the athletic department.
Records from the comptroller's office show that the athletics department not only has records of these events,
USE OF the FX and GX lines at KU was discontinued April 1 when a new long distance system, the Kansas Agency Network (KANS-A-N) was put into use. KANS-A-N connects more than 500 state offices.
KANS-A-N is expected to save the state $250,000 a year in its total corporate bill by consolidating all privately leased long-term loans that each state agency had been using.
Barland said records were kept by her office of the number of calls made to the Kansas City area and Topeka. Any KU department wanted to know how many calls it made on those lines can call the University operator, she said.
Between 450 and 500 calls, costing about three cents each, were made on the Kansas City FX and GX lines every day, Barland said.
Although KU paid for the Kansas City- Topeka calls made by every department on the direct lines, under the KAN-A-N department will be charged for every long distance call it makes, including those to the Kansas City area and Topeka.
Barland said anyone have questions about KANS-A-N could call the University of Oklahoma.
Jay Hennings, president of Omega Phi fraternity, said the council brought black fraternities and sororities closer together.
"One never loses the fact that we are all black people working toward a common goal."
"It is definitely a worthwhile
organization," he said.
Most of the members felt that the council could be beneficial to the students on campus.
Gwen Young, president of Delta Sigma Theta sorority, said the council also served as a meeting place for its planning committee that would sponsor functions for students.
James Belt, representative for P.O.W.E.R. L.T.D., an organization for P.O.W.E.R. L.T.D., the council helped provide needs and service to broader social awareness in the community.

Line snags seaweed, not hair
According to the members, the most important thing gained by this council will be to bring harmony between black fraternities, sororites and the students.
Kappa Alpha Pi fraternity, said the council hoped to bring everybody together for a national celebration.

Marks said intelligence gathering had a positive function in protecting the national security.

“There is a basic function inside government to collect intelligence,” he said. “It’s not a good idea to get completely rid of the CIA.”
"THERE SHOULD be basic limits below which we will not go as a country," he said. "The dirty tricks of the CIA should be below those limits."

Short of changing the entire system, Marks said, he would like governmental policies and intervention into foreign countries to be more open, formulated by Congressional vote or handled through a national organization.

However, Marks said, he didn't agree that the CLR could be abolished as an information source.

MARKS TRAVELS around the country speaking to groups for the CNSA, a public interest group comprised of eight people and funded by private foundations. According to Marks, his speaking events are part of a public education campaign.
He and Victor Marchetti, a former CIA agent, wrote "The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence," the first book to be censored by the government before publication, Marks said.
More than five per cent of the book was censored by the CIA, he said, for a total of 250.
Both Marks and Marchetti are still under injunction by Federal District Court Judge Albert B. Ryan in Virginia. They made two plea to the Supreme Court and both were denied.
