Lebanese start 20th truce
BEIRUT, Lebanon—Moaires and Christians agreed yesterday to a 10-day cease fire in Lebanon's civil war, with gunmen from both sides to remain in place.
The truce, to begin at noon today—4 a.m. CST—was announced after intense international pressure, including the Palestinian guerrillas, with butt
If it takes place, the cease-fire will be the 20th in the war, which has claimed about 14,000 lives since it broke out last April 14.
All previous cease-fires broke down because there was no basic agreement satisfying demands by the Modern majority for more power in the Christian-
The latest truce was offered by leftist Moslem leader Karam Junbait to permit election of a new president. A spokesman for the right-wing Phalangia party, the National Front, said that it was seeking the vote.
However, there was no immediate word from Christian President Suleiman Francki's office on whether he would agree to resign.
The cease-fire was designed to give him a 10-day period to step down but was not continent on his immediate resignation.
Strikers picket 2 hospitals
SAN FRANCISCO--Pickering spread to two major hospitals yesterday as a serker in the hospital said all public services would be closed for the week with a sign of progress toward a settlement.
San Franciscoans, stung by the third strike of city workers in two years, found alternate means of getting to work and around town. They also had to make do with a broken car.
Mayor George Moscone, who has vowed to stay in his office around the clock to serve as a mediator if asked, spent another night on a cot in City Hall.
Several thousand city employees wee off the job as nonstriking city unions honored pocket lines thrown up by the 10 unions representing craft workers who were working in the City.
The Board of Supervisors set up a strike headquarters at a downtown hotel but neither side reported any progress. No talks were under way and none were scheduled.
Preanant student expelled
Using the traditional system, a student who wanted to write a thesis on individualized instruction in music would have to look up all references under "music" and "individual instruction," she would state his subject as a librarian who would use the computer to look up only articles included in both categories.
Barbara Jones, associate reference librarian in Watson Library, used an example to explain the benefits of the new system.
The system is already being used in areas such as education, medicine and chemistry. The latest step is to connect the University with other universities. The System and Systems Development Corporation, two California commercial firms, are collaborating to most fields of science and social science.
The method can handle a larger number of categories. According to Marte Young, science librarian, a student could ask for books in the English language on certain drugs used to treat a particular disease in children of a specific age. A trained
"In my opinion that's not too bad," she said, "if you consider the time you might spend looking through catalogs and writing down references."
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — An unnwed, 22-year-old student expelled from the Florida Bible College for the ultimate hatred after she became pregnant, is suing the school in a case that began with a petition to stop it.
This will become possible when the last development in the "Selective Dissemination of Information" service is completed this fall.
Students will have to pay for these services. The Lockheed Corporation, for example, charges about $45 for an hour of computer time. With telephone costs added, it could cost a student $15 to $20 for a 15-minute session.
Young said she thought the cost wasn't unreasonable.
Young said she hoped people would become aware of the system. She said only one or two people used the MEDLINE service each month. This service connects KU with the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, Md.
Two terminals will be installed at KU, one in the reference room in Watson and one in the science library in Malot Hall. The terminals will be cathode ray screens similar to television screens and will cost about $3,000 each.
A student looking for background information on a subject in almost any field will soon be able to plug the subject into a computer to get a written bibliography within minutes.
Graduate students and faculty were most likely to use the system, Young said, but she hoped it would help some undergraduates. "It's not a problem," people were still suspicious of computers.
The new terminals should be installed by the end of this semester but it will take time to install them.

Her suit, filed Wednesday in Broward County Circuit Court, seeks her re-statement and a temporary injunction against her expulsion.
New computers will aid student research
The attorney general said that undercover agents from his office were investigating扑泥泵站 stations before a complaint was filed in February.
"I'm just heartstarts for a fine, upstanding young lady like this can be deprived of her education by a like this like," said Clayton's lawyer, Patrick C. Rastatter. Rastatter told the father-to-be also was a Florida Bible College student and was excelled. The student was not identified by Rastater or by the school.
The episode follows by a little more than a year the resignation of the school's founding president, the Rev. A. Ray Stanford, who disappeared in January 1975 and told the college in a tape recording that he had committed adultery with one of his students.

Schneider added that the oil company leasing the stations was unaware of deceptive sales practices used by some service station employees.

The conference committee proposed a revised bill that would impose the death penalty for seven specific types of crime: murder by an inmate of a correctional institution, murder by contract, kidnap murder, multiple murders, rape murder, murder committed in connection with aggravated robbery and murder of a wif
State Sen. Edward F. Reilly Jr., R-Leavemount, a strong proposition of the death penalty, said he considered the conference committee proposal a reasonable compromise although it abandoned the Senate position in favor of imposing the death penalty for malicious, wilful, premeditated murder.
The station probe centered on high pressure sales, threats of law enforcement arrests if purchases weren't made, sales of unneeded products, overcharges on fixed rate or scheduled prices, scare sales tactics and thefts of property from wrecked or disabled vehicles.
Death penalty bill revised
TOPEKA—House and Senate conferences have reached tentative agreement on a bill to reinstate the death penalty in Kansas.
State Rep. Randal Palmer, R-Pittsburg, a member of the conference committee along with Kelly, said that the report of the committee couldn't be signed and would not be released.
GSC to establish program for training of TAs and AIs
By BARBARA ROSEWICZ
Staff Writer
Establishment of a training program for graduate teaching assistants (TAs) and assistant instructors (AIs) was confirmed to graduate Student Council meeting last night.
The program won't start until next year and no details about it have been decided.
Kathy Dugan, spokesman for the Graduate Executive Committee (GradEx), said that the program was a result of the Student Senate Commission on the Quality of Classroom Instruction, which was in charge of Rofls when he was student body president.
According to Dugan, TAS and AIS are teachers in training, and are accountable to the Senate Commission just as professors are required to be so could be told to have a training program.
Dugan reported that the administration was in favor of some kind of, training program and was using the GSC as a guide to ideas and reactions to different programs.
The GSC committee reports on the training programs in the graduates newspaper, GNP, recommended programs organized by each student's department, participate in the decisions made during the programs, voluntary participation in the programs.
Other matters discussed included fee waivers for graduate assistants and the amount of hours required for status as a full-time student at KU.
According to Charlotte Kimbrough, a GradX member the fee waiver request process should be documented.
executive vice chancellor, is the same administrative proposal rejected by the Kansas Board of Regents last year because of the financial consequences.
She said the proposal called for a graduated waiver of fees for TAs and Als
The GSC endorsed an original report of a fee waiver committee that called for a waiver of tuition fees and health fees for all graduate assistants, including TA, AIs, RAs (resident assistants) and other graduates employed by the University.
A committee was set up to define which graduate student employees would be in charge.
Another committee was formed to review the advantages and disadvantages of changing the full-time status of graduate students from a 12-hour to a 9-hour work load.
GSC members will work with Campus Veteran representatives on the status report.
Jim Bailey, assistant to the president of Campus Veterans, said all five other Kansas Regent schools defined the work load of full-time graduate students as nine
Duran said that GSC would like more information on the issue. She was concerned that the nine-hour requirement would be more challenging to graduate students, including graduate assistants.
Graduate assistants have a work load in proportion to the hours they work for the University and hours they are in class. For example, a TA could have a half-time teaching position and take six hours of work to be a full-time graduate student.
Social data reported by census
In other action, the results of a GSC ballot were announced. In the results:
WASHINGTON (AP)—More than a million couples in the United States were divorced last year, the highest number in American history, a new government study found. During the same period, the number of marriages dropped to the lowest level since 1969.
THE REPORT, a profile of the economic and social conditions of the American population, is based on data provided by the Census Bureau. It shows that the number of divorces increased by 6 per cent to 1,050.8 between 1774 and 1975, while the number of marriages decreased by 4 per cent to 2.1 million.
By 1976, the total U.S. population reached 214.5 million, an increase of less than 0.5%.

A GCS Constitution was passed. Ellen Reynolds, executive coordinator of GSC, said Wednesday that the GSC had been governed by a set of by-laws before, but that by-law changes were made and it was able to appropriate funds to graduate organizations and paid a half-time employee.

The report shows that the population rose by about 1.7 million people during 1975, an increase of less than one per cent. However, the increase is higher than in the previous three years.

Bennett blasts Med Center bills
TOPEKA (AP) -Mixed emotions over legislation approved recently by the Kansas House were expressed yesterday by Gov. Mike Huckabee, billing dictenal medical school admissions.
Bennett came down hard on a bill approved 102-18 by the House Thursday which would require the 200 medical students admitted each year to the University of Kansas Medical School to come from geographic areas of the state.
The governor said he believed the bill would base admissions of "political offenders" from schools.
The bill, which now goes to the Senate, mandates that five medical students from each of the state's 40 senatorial districts be accepted to the schools.
Supporters argued that this is the only
Senate reviews antitrust action for oil industry
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate antitrust subcommittee yesterday approved and sent on a bill to break up the tightly controlled petroleum industry.
The measure, which now goes to the Senate Judiciary Committee, would require the nation's 18 largest oil companies to reduce their operations to either petroleum production, transportation, refining or marketing, sponsors of the bill said.
way to put the medical school on notice that it must rain doctors from every area of the state so some will return to their home areas to practice.
Bernett said he would hate to see politics enter into the admissions policies of the university.
The sole exception would be for some refiners, who also would be permitted to engage in the retail marketing of petroleum products.
