Pol forsakes luxury
What sort of man would live in a bare apartment when he could live in a luxurious, million-dollar mansion? Would drive an ordinary car instead of a limousine? Would block his own salary increase because his present salary was adequate? Certainly not a politician, many people say.
But in one instance it is a politician who has been doing these things. Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown Jr., governor of California, has emerged as a political oddity in the Democratic party during a time when conservatives were calling for hearing the same political, economic and social solutions for problems that are hobbling the country.
BROWN HAS QUESTIONED aspects of politics and government that other politicians have usually left alone and in doing so he has earned the respect of almost 90 per cent of the people in California. He also has received increasing attention elsewhere because his views of government have struck a familiar chord with many people across the nation.
For example, Brown has refused to move into the palatal California governor's mansion because he thinks they are not being reminded they are servants, not kings.
"This is a democracy," he said recently, "and people who are in government are merely temporary representatives of a free people."
HE SEEMS TO BE AWARE that an ever-expanding prosperity in the United States isn't possible, for part of his philosophy is that everything, including
government, has limits. Although the federal government can be helpful in bringing about full employment and a cleaner environment, Brown has said he will use an elixir or an "all-encompassing final solution to the human condition."
In addition, Brown hasn't asked for more federal funds, unlike other state and local government officials, because he rejects the notion that the federal government would pay upward that can provide something that isn't available at home."
BECAUSE HIS IDEAS HAVE captured the imagination of many people who find his outlook refreshing, the question of whether he will enter national politics naturally comes to mind. In a recent interview, Brown did admit that he had been thinking more and more about being President, and at a time when many are saying that candidates from both parties are dismay alike, a standout like Brown might provide an attractive alternative.
Even if he never becomes a national political figure, however, his influence on political thinking might be substantial. He'd dared to say and do things that other politicians have hesitated to do with him. Maybe the emergence of Jerry Brown in the political spotlight marks the beginning of a new era in politics—the era of the austere, realistic politican. Only time will tell.

On the air
Coach Snewo caught off guard
An important part of intercollegiate basketball at major universities is the coach's talk show.
In these shows, the coach usually reviews films, chats with an emcee and players about recent and future games to get a lot of good exposure for the school's sport programs.
Recently, I was twiddling the dial of my TV set, trying to find the first of the season's KU BET. After the electrical storm, my set went berserk. After much crackling and weird noise, the color picture appeared on the screen. (My set is black-and-white.)
FLABBERGASTED, I SANK down in my easy chair and gaped at the set. Here's what I saw:
(Two men are seated in front of a crimson and blue tapey. Both smile, one vacuously, one falsely.)
EMCEE: We want to welcome you to the first show of our season, all you fine Jayhawk basketball fans. I'm Paul Perroquet, your host for the COACH SNEWO SHOW!I' Well, Coach, let me ask you this for all our fans there in. In-
identally, I believe in you,
Coach Snewo, just as I believed
in Coach Eroom! !!! What
(pauses for emphasis) kind of
team can you promise our fans
this season?
COACH SNEWO: WELL,
we feel we have a fine
program to offer to young men.
We can teach them how to

other team's young men in a
galln ball game on a given
night, we will have a good
sum of winning that given
game.
Perroquet: Yes, Coach, the number of points you young men score, in justposition to the other team, should go a long way. Perroquet: Yes, Coach, win-loss pattern vis-à-vis, ergo, of your team and its young men.
COACH  SWEWO: YOU KNOW, Paul, we feel our basketball program is only a small part of the kind of collegiate life that we can offer to young men. I feel . . .
PERROQUET: Yes, Coach,
yes, yes! Getting back to ...
(clears throat) You have a
young man who scores 32 points
in game this season!
(radiant smile) How do you feel
about this?
COACH SNEWO: Well, Paul,
it has to feel pretty good . . . for
the team, I mean... certainly for the young man and his friends on the team, who, incidentally, are also young men.
COACH SNEWO: YES, Paul, you're right.
PERHOQUET: Yes, Coach,
we do have a group of fine
young men on the University of
Colorado. We also have basketball

PERROQUEST: Actually, Coach, we've changed the format of our show this year... just another addition to the fine young program we have here at the University of Kansas. We didn't but there call in to our show and fire questions at. Coach Snewo.

oriented toward the West; it controls most of the rest of the country, including Nova Lisbon and the major port at Lobito.
If ever a situation cried out for decisive action, the Angolan situation cries out for it now. If the United States were to take lead in recognizing a government of democracy by Roberto, the Communist MPLA might yet be contained and defeated. Neighboring Zaire and Zambia, struggling for economic survival, doubled their budget move. South Africa would be in a position to lend discreet assistance. Roberto once was the darling of American politics, too, so obsessed with detente that their will is paralyzed?
INSTEAD OF DECISIVE action, we get murmuring. In his speech of Nov. 24 in Detroit, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger had only this to say: "We cannot ignore the sub-ministry's failure to provide weapons in Angola, which has introduced great-power rivalry into Africa for the first time in 15 years. This Soviet involvement is resented by African nations most of all, but the United States cannot be indifferent while an outside invader invades its servantius policy so distant from its homeland and so removed from traditional Russian interests."
EVENTS ARE MOVING swiftly over the whole of southern Africa. With Portugal's collapses, Mozambique's migration is more likely to can be counted as friendly water. The fall of Mozambique has further imperiled Rhodesia, which has served as the cork in the South West Africa wars. Nations, pressures increase for U.N. control of South-West Africa. Meanwhile, South Africa is countering with significant gestures of rapprochement toward their neighbors.
Things are in flux. Angola's fate is of great importance. The consequences of a Soviet succeu-
dem demand our attention. Consider the worst prospect: Mozambique gone, Gonae gone, South-
CANNOT IGNORE? Cannot be indifferent! From all surface indications, this is the wind that has been. The Soviet Union, tossing its Helsinki pledges to the winds, is made of sterner stuff. Behind the Kremlin's not not the be-all and the end-all.
There is a tide in the affairs of men, said Brutus, which taken at the flood leads on to fortune. The Ford administration hesitates at the thought of Soviet reaction, while senators role their pictistic eyes at the horrid CIA. We are missing the ability to protect us in Africa for a long, long time. (c) 1973 Washington Star Syndicate Inc.
Don't you believe in setting screens for your players somewhere around the top of the free throw circle . . . where they can maneuver and drive one-on-one?
COACH  SNEWO: Well,
Stewart, that's a fine question
and. . .
VOICE: Yes . . . I'm Stewart Namtrah, and I have a . . . ah .
. . . question for Coach Snewo.
Norm Stewart and Jack Hartman invariably have less
chance of passing the ball to Coach. So why do they seem to pose much of a challenge to you and your 24-ass pass off?
NAMTRAH': (RUDELY interruptions) Another thing, Coach. How do you feel about playing teams that rely on quickness and run and gun all the time? What are players with a lot of natural ability and force them to play your outmoded offensive style?
COACH SNEWO: Well,
Stewart, that's a fine question
and I'd be happy to . . .
NAMTRAH: (LOUER voice) That reminds me, Coach. What's this business about the game? Didn't Mit Gibson on the point? You're destroying his driving and running game and hurting what is a fast lineup. When he hits you, Dame, they let him roam the baseline, using screens to get himself free for 12-footers. And look what you did to Jo Joll! There are 53 feet from the basket!
situation is bleak but it is not beyond redemption.
PERROQUET: Thank . . .
thank you, Steven . . . er
Stewart, for your fine questions.
let's move on to someone
let's go.
It is a madening spectacle to watch, this disintegration of Angola. They say that chickens come home to roost, and in this grim business we have a hanhouse full.
It might have been possible for the Central Intelligence Agency to avert this calamity—but the CIA has been crippled by a moralizing Senate. At one point, Mr. Bush had confronted the Kremlin boldly; but the Ford-Kissinger administration is obsessed with detente and wouldn't be beastly to the Reds. If domestic political considerations didn't weigh so heavily, the President should have been angry but the President is thinking politically now.
TWO MAJOR GROUPS are contending for control of Angola. The MPLA directed by An戈思诺 Angohto, is supplied, and it controls the Soviet Union; it controls the capital at Luanda and a part of central Angola. The FNLA, directed by Hoden Roberto, is

PERROQUET: (looks off
NAMRAH: How does it feel, being out-rebounded by a shorter team? Incidentally, I wish you could show your players how a fast break should or do it. Have you ever done it? Have you ever. I remember… tried to fit your system to your material? If you have little talent, you play conservatively. But you've had great talent for most of your years here. Maybe your players play better than you are coaching. Maybe that's why players like Leonard Gray, Don Ross, Marshall Rogers, Mike Bossard and Brad Shadbaw have left KU! Some of them could have been malcontents, but have you ever considered being unhappy, depressed, miserable or unwilling to work hard? Huh, huh, huh!!!
(Jayhawk fight song begins.
Screen goes blank. Yelling and screaming in the background.)
One of the melancholy factors is that few Americans know much or care greatly about Angola. It lies for a thousand miles across Africa, an immense land, almost as large as Britain, France and Spain combined. Until last month, it was a province of beleaguered Portugal. Next month, for all practical purposes, it could be a real satellite of the Soviet Union.
Readers Respond / Band member distressed
It is necessary to delineate
That master of easiness, propaganda and trickery, Clyde Walker, has again succeeded in tightwinding money for the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation. He has justified his refusal to fund expenses for the KU band's excursion to El Paso, to again make use of his grade points when nobody else does it, why should we? In addition, he has led one reporter, Buly Ieek, to print on the Kanisan front page that a team responsible for limning the amount of money that may be spent for the Sun Ball.
To the Editor:
letters policy
The Daily Kansan welcomes letters to the editor, but asks that letters be typewritten, double-spaced and no typewritten words. All letters are subject to an editorial word according to space limitations and the editor's judgment, and must be signed. KU students must provide their name, year in school and homecity; faculty must provide their name and position; others must provide their name and address.
the factors to those who seemingly lack all knowledge of such. All bowl money extended to anyone in the Big Eight must be split equally among all eight teams. Here lies the "restriction." There is no restriction on the amount of money your school can spend. Where, Mr. Walker, gives your share from the Orange, Fiesta and Astro-Bluebonet bowls? Or have you paid them their tiny sums of money?
But one must not be too busy to overlook Mr. Dykes' contribution. By forbidding the band from raising the necessary funds on its own, he has made a mistake in funding by the Athletic Corporation is more important than the ever present possibility that Pittsburgh, which doesn't have to share its allotment with a conference, can acquire equipment to compete with a Texas high school band playing (or at least trying to play) KU fight songs.
Finding all hope lost for funding by the Athletic Corporation, we turn to the University Association, an organization that is the strongest of its kind in the NATTON, next to that of Notre Dame. This organization, with its strength, spends thousands of
dollars on their regally decorated offices, but has never in recent years contributed a red cent to the band program. Why should we expect any turnaround now?
We are left with 240 distressed band members, many of whom now question their rasons for being in part of the band. We have also band voluntarily marched in every KU football game this year, home and away, excluding the Oklahoma game, to which a seep of fans has been poured into the team. Such all-out effort is rewarded by a complete lack of interest by anyone besides the students, the football team and staff. We expect the KU band to have the spirit, pride and excellence that was present this year, for the apparent lack of support and encouragement of the KU band into the medicinality of the rest of the Big Eight.

We have been dismayed at the grotesque abuse of police power and the waste of tax dollars in recent home football games.
To the Editor:
Police power play
The use of state law enforcement officers for purposes of harassment is unwarranted. At nearly every home football game, we have witnessed state police and physically restraining citizens of this state from using public property. University students should have full access to University facilities, including the stadium. To restrict球员 and coaches, performing acrobatics addressing the crowd is unjust.
We must also express concern at the apparent selective enforcement of these unwritten behavioral laws, contrary to the provisions of the 14th Amendment. The law enforcement officers are seemingly not offenders in the field where they happen to be football players, band members, cheerleaders or birds.
It is certainly understandable that the state police would concern themselves with the enforcement of state laws. Hence, their massive confiscations of liquor are within the realm of their authority, even though they are of
It isn't as if any of the victims of the harassment obstructed the conduct of the football game. Rather, the victims offended the sensibilities of the team, and so they assume represent the policies of Archie Dykes, Clyde Walker and Robert F. Bennett.
questionable value in deterring crime in our state.
It was certainly appropriate for the Oklahoma State band to salute law and order and honor law enforcement during a half-time show. Nobody exemplifies unwarranted use of force and inequitable application of the law than that fine organization.
Chancellor Dykes has been very image conscious in promoting the University. He made a strong case for embarrassment caused when out-of-state visitors and television viewers observe state troopers stationed strategically near universities and throughout the crowd.
Possibly in view of the state legislature's upcoming debate on funding, Dykes could make a deal with Bennett to increase the number of schools and exchange for a reduction in the spending on warranted security forces. Such a move would contribute to a higher quality of education, better public health and fiscal responsibility.
