Monetaru pact signed
RAMBOUILLET, France- The United States and France have signed an agreement that promises to end a long-esting monetary dispute between the two countries.
The document, signed at the end of a three-day meeting of leaders of six nations, is aimed at ending currency fluctuations that occur without "underlying economic reason," Treasury Secretary William E. Simon told reporters on the plane back to Washington.
Without revealing specific details of the agreement, Simon expressed hope it would lead to a 30-country agreement to monitor currency exchange rates on a global scale.
Crime rise continues
WASHINGTON — Criminals strike 19 times every minute to take 20,000 lives and $2.8 billion as crime in the United States rose 16 per cent last year, the FBI said.
While the crime rate continued to climb in all parts of the country, police showed no improvement in their ability to solve crimes with arrests. About one in five crimes reported to police in 1974 were solved with an arrest, about the same performance recorded for the past five years.
The FBI's annual report, called "Crime in the United States," showed sharp差距 in the number of teen-agents arrested, particularly for crimes committed in the insurgency.

Court upholds busing
U. S. District Court Judge Coniata contiased Mia Moore would stand trial on Dec. 13, the duke had set heed to a federal appellate court ruling that appeared to
WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court yesterday upheld a lower court decision that could lead to busing children between the mostly black schools of Wilmington, N.C., and Charlotte, where many students are from.
In that case, the justices ruled that school district lines could not be crossed to achieve racial balance unless official actions in one district had produced "a law that would deny all students access to public schools."
Wier argued that the three-judge panel's decision was out of line with the ruling of the nation's highest court.
Were applauded on behalf of the State Board of Education and 11 school districts in the Wilmington surburbs, where the public schools are 94 per cent white.
School studies governing
The School of Social Welfare is considering changing its three-council governing system, according to Theodore Ernst. dean of the school.
The school has three governing bodies. They are the student council, the faculty council and the school council. The school has 30 per cent students and 50 per cent faculty.
"There are various proposals we've considered," Ernst said早说 "Some people want us to operate with only one council made up of some proportion of faculty and students. Others want us to do different things."
He said he hadn't had enough experience and hadn't been at the school long enough to judge the present system. Ernst has been a professor for five years before it came online since the beginning of this semester.
Erstrid said he had heard comments from both students and faculty that the present group was interested.
The school council had an open meeting recently and discussed the future of the governing system, Ernst said. Nothing was decided, he said.
Ernest said that he couldn't predict when she would come to a vote or would be denied.
Education center site forwarded to Dykes
A recommendation that the proposed continuing education center be built on the site of the present center, which is north of the campus. The center will be used to Chancellor Archie R. Dykes this week.
Howard T. Walker, dean of the division of continuing education, said yesterday that Dykes would make the final decision on the center's location.
The site includes land owned by the Kansas University Endowment Association and was one of two sites where the other site was flooded and Iowa streets.
To qualify for the funds, the planning committee must submit architectural plans of a building along with a report outlining the type of educational programs and services the center will offer. The report and the plans must be completed by next October, Walker said.
If Congress appropriates funds for the center, Walker said, construction could begin in late 1977. He said he expected the project to cost $7.5 million to $8 million for the project.
Walker said he thought the committee had saved two months by choosing the site before specifications were drawn up. If they had waited, he said, different specifications would have been required for each of the proposed sites.
According to Walker, the committee
He said that existing steam lines could be used to heat the building and that passage ways could be built connecting it to the museum. He also mentioned a new art museum and X-zone parking lot.
chose the site near the Union because of its proximity to the central campus.
The center would also be able to use the Union's food services and meeting rooms if it were located at the approved site, Walker said.
"I think it's important to demonstrate to the students on campus that many people continue their education once they graduate," Walker said. "The proposed site would allow students to come in contact with these people."
Possible disadvantages of the site, the committee said, are high construction costs for additional parking spaces, rock formations close to the surface of the ground and possible congestion in the area during football games.
However, Walker said, the money saved by connecting the building to existing power sources would compensate for those disadvantages.
The committee also unanimously voted to help select a consulting architect to be involved in the preparation of preliminary plans for the center. The committee has already received $45,750 for architectural planning fees from a federal grant.
Indian enrollment increase aim of recruiting program
The Native American Alliance, a campus organization for American Indian students, will begin a new recruiting program today with Haskell Indian Junior College.
According to Loretta Botella, assistant to the vice chancellor for student affairs and coordinator of the program, the recruiting program will increase the number of Indian students at the University of Kansas and develop a better relationship with Haskell.
BOTTELLA SAID FRIDAY THAT she thought there had been a communications breakdown between Haskell and KU and this program would help change that.
“In the past, Indian students have been the lowest minority on campus.” Botella said. “That's really a shame with Haskell in the same town.”
There have been recruiters at Haskell before she said, but they may have taken the job.
According to Su Zaana Prophet, treasurer for Native American Alliance, representatives from various departments at KU and the Offices of Admissions and Records and Student Financial Aid will go talk with Haskell students.
PROPHET SAID THE representatives would tell students about the enrollment procedure and financial aid programs. Students will be able to meet people so they will have some grounding when they come to KU. she said.
The recruiters will visit Haskell tomorrow and Thursday and four times in December. Botella said she hoped to have the same type of program next semester.
"This is a very, very new program," she said. "Recruitment has never been approached this way. We hope it will be a big success."
BOTELLA SAID SHE HAD four to five Haskell students call each month wanting information about KU. She said this was one reason for initiating the program.
Work on the program began in September. Botella said both Evelyn Swartz, professor of Curriculum and Instruction, and Jerry Hutchinson, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, had helped tremendously in getting the program started.
Hutchison said he was pleased and bonehead for the program.
ACCORDING TO HUTCHISON, past educational possibilities for Indian students have been limited. He said KU had a special place in the curriculum with an institution in the same town.
Larry Day, associate professor of Journalism; Joseph Pichler, dean of the School of Business; David Born, professor of Human Development; Swartz and a representative from the Office of Admissions will make the initial visit to Haskell tomorrow.
Jeff Weinberg, associate director of financial aid, will visit Haskell Thursday along with a representative from the Office of Admissions.
