AN ANGEL GETS "AT-TEN-BON!"
Angel Flight members like Mary Dowell, Haviland junior and comptroller, and Air Force ROTC cadets like John Cukjaji, Arna junior, not each other "at ease" with salutes on campus every Wednesday. Their groups work together at campus events every week and many week-ends, forming more than passing acquaintances with KU, the ROTC program, and each other.
Students protest CIA recruitment
A girl sat at a card table in the
rounds of Sierra Bell Wednesday,
collecting signatures on a petition.
A Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) interviever set in the College office talking to KU students interested and disintricated in employment with that agency.
Bob Howard. Wih him junior, was one of those who talked to the interviewer. He is also the instigator of the petition protesting the CIA's presence, with the support of Students for Democratic Society.
"The purpose of the petition is to ask the University to cearets complicity with the CIA." Howard said.
He said the CIA has a secret budget, is comparable to a secret police and as such should not be
allowed in a free and democratic society.
Asked if he thought setting up a table in protest was justified in the case of someone on campus simply for employment recruiting purposes he called CIA recruiting an exercise of the organization's power and should not be legitimatized.
Howard said if we are to have a free and open society an organization like the CIA should not exist. Civil power should prevail over military power, Howard added.
By 3 p.m. Wednesday the petition had 33 signatures.
World Affairs Week brings Spaak, Nagy
By Gail Habluetzel Kansan Staff Reporter
Two former national leaders will appear next week on the SUA World Affairs Week program.
Paul-Henri Spaak, former Belgian Prime Minister, and Ferene Nagy, former Prime Minister of Hungary, will lecture to KU students as part of the event. The main theme of the event, which runs Now, 13-15, is "U.S. as Peacekeeper in the world?"
Spark will speak from 10:30-11:30 a.m. at Hoch Auditorium during Monday's session, entitled "U.S. as Peacekeeper in Europe?" The former Belgian Prime Minister was also the first president of the UN, General Assembly, former Secretary-General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and a founder of the Common Market.
Nagy, who has also served on the Hungarian Parliament, will speak Thursday, Nov. 16, at 8:15 p.m. in the Kansas Union Ballroom concerning the "U.S. as Peacekeeper in Eastern Europe?" He wrote "The Struggle Behind the Iron Curtain."
In addition to Spak's talk Monday, there will be a question and answer session in the Forum Room from 1-2:30 p.m. Six half-hour films will be shown in the Forum Room from 2:30-5:30 p.m. The films are: "U.S. in Western Europe," "Uncertain Partners," "Nuclear Forces," "Europe in Arms," "War Plans" and "Hope of Disarmament."

The student forum will feature a panel of African and Latin American students, while the faculty panel will consist of KU professors.
Asian conference to convene Friday
A Washington University professor, Stanley Spector, will discuss Asian revolution this Friday at KU.
"The Great Cultural Revolution in China—in Japan—in Southeast Asia: 1967" will be the topic at a luncheon meeting of the Midwest Conference on Asian Affairs in the Kansas Union Big Eight room. Spector is president of the conference, which will bring nearly 200 Asian experts to the Oread campus.
Special attraction at the conference will be Wei-min Lee, consul-general of the Republic of China in Chicago, who will be
here for the opening of an exhibition of Chinese rubbings at 8 p.m. in the East Asian section of Watson library.
Sickman collection to be shown
The exhibit is from the personal collection of Dr. Laurence Sickman, director of the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art in Kansas City, Mo. He is also adjunct professor of history of art and of East Asian studies at KU.
The rubbings are actual size tracings of various Chinese art objects.

MANHATTAN—(UPI)—Some 22 students protecting the Vietnam war sat in front of a new recruiting table at Kansas State University Wednesday.
The confeees will come largely from an area bounded by Michigan and Arkansas, the Mississippi River and the Rockies, according to Dr. Grant Goodman, professor of history and conference coordinator.
Many other students stopped to watch the protesters and the separatist unruffled Naval officers at the table, but there were no incidents.
City booms on KU cash
It's a pretty well known fact that the University of Kansas is more than just a contributor to the economy of Lawrence. Even Mayor Richard Raney admits this. But just exactly how much does KU and its inmates pour into the kitty?
The population of Lawrence, minus KU students, is listed at 30,901. Many University faculty are included in that figure, however, and they received a total of $11,209,000 per school year in salaries.
Not including the industry KU attracts, not including the taxes that merchants and servicers who are attracted to the city because of the school pay, and not including the traffic fines that faculty and students pay, these are the latest figures;
Last year the University paid the city, for services alone, $1,157,858.71. Broken down; $302,954.65 for water; $246,916.02 for sewers; and $217,988.04 for sanitation.
The total amount paid out by the University to faculty, student employees, and Lawrence citizens came to $24,612,000.
A large portion of that is spent here in Lawrence.
David Huff of the Office of Regional Studies says that to extract exact figures to attribute
Besides the obvious retail market, services such as laundries, garages, mechanical shops, home services and deliveries are virtually supported by faculty members and students.
Dean of Men Donald Alderson estimates that up to 30 per cent of all KU men live in apartments and boarding houses in the city. Some 2,098 apartment units have been built in the last eleven years in Lawrence meaning income not only for the owners, but also for the city in property taxes.
Landlords aren't the only ones who pay property taxes. Twenty-five fraternities and 13 sororities pay an average of $3,000 a year. The bill will increase.
According to the University, the average instate student spends between $1550 and $1650 annually. The out-of-stater's expenses fall between $2100 and $2300. Estimates for "personal" expenses in both of these figures are put at $400. With 15,605 students on the rolls, that adds up to $6,242,000. It would not be too presumptuous to assume that a sizable portion of these "personal expenses" land in the pockets of Lawrence merchants who, of course, pay Lawrence taxes.
includes history, literature
Discussion topics will include the politics of Japan in historical perspective, internal conflict in Southeast Asia, East Asian literature, orthodoxy, and revolt in Chinese history, the contemporary Middle East and Asian law.
Conference sessions will continue Friday evening with discussions of international politics in Asia, Asian developmental systems, and religion and philosophy.
Saturday morning discussions will move to the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art in Kansas City. There will be lectures on Oriental art, demographic factors in Korea and the Philippines, and the Indian images of Indian religion.
