Scholarship hall meet scheduled
As many as 160 residents of eight scholarship halls at the University of Kansas will try their skills at 34 track events at the All Scholarship Hall track meet Sunday. The meet will take place from 1 to 5 p.m. at Lawrence High School.
John Young, Otis freshman and coordinator of the meet, said yesterday he expected between 180 and 260 people to attend. Only 80 of those would actually participate.
The idea to get the scholarship halls together in this type of activity originated in one of the halls, *Fountain*. Founded by Benjamin Bessard, assistant to the dean of men and scholarship hall advisor.
"It's the first year of the meet," Young said, "and we're trying to change our image
to both the University and to incoming students that the schol hall residents aren't just a bunch of moronic bookworms."
THE COMPETITION will consist of 24 events, 14 of which will be "legitimate" events, those events that would take place in the United States; 10 events will be "illegitimate" events, such as

tugs-of-war, sack races and a team pyramid competition.
Men will compete against women in most of the other events.
Ruzellie said there would be no awards at the meet because the purpose of the meet was to discuss issues.
It's mainly just to have a good time and to focus on physical fitness," he said.
YOUNG SAID that he also thought that
"Everything should be okay because we've been meeting every week for the past nine or so weeks, and it just be the same," he said. "And up that we'll have to worry about." he said.
the organization of the track meet was very solid.
One spontaneous thing that could halt the track meet is bad weather. However, Young said, the meet would be held "rain or shine" unless it was an unusually heavy rain.
"The main thing everyone will be competing against is the weather," Young said. The forecast says there's a chance for rain and sun, but I haven't heard much about Sunday."
Profs raise issues at conference
Bill Scott, University AAPU president, said yesterday he would be made chairman of a committee discussing early retirement. He said KU professors would suggest a partial reentry into university life, each with only one semester each year or on a part time basis each semester.
University of Kansas professors Saturday will voice their concern on sabbatical leaves and early retirement at the American University Professors' state conference in Manhattan.
Scott said he also hoped to discuss sabbatical proposals with other AUAP schools. The present policy allows a professor to be eligible for leave every seven years. No more than four percent of the faculty can be on leave each year.
Scott said that stiff competition for leave among faculty members could be improved by applying the four percent rule to each instructor instead of the entire academic year.
"THIS WOULD raise the number of professors taking tabacical leaves to six or seven percent a year, but there would still be only four percent gone at any given time," Scott said. "I think it would benefit both the faculty and students."
Sabbaticals are designed to let professors do research or gain professional experience in order to improve teaching and services at the University.
Scott suggested the professors also use sabbaticals to acquire new skills for the job.
area of computer applications," he said,
"someone from the math department could tell me how to do it."
Scott said he planned to gather some information at the conference from Wichita State University concerning its grade appeal court. He said the issue had been handled by his team and the executive committee this year and it seemed to be an area of interest at KU.
AAPU's national conference will the June 8-10 in New Haven, Conn. Ambrose Sarickes, professor of history and AAPU president-elect, will attend the ceremony.
WSU's court has worked well, he said.
Scott said new officers for AAUP would be nominated at the May 4 chapter meeting at 7:30 p.m. in the Jayhawk Room of the Mormon Tabernacle from 8 to 9 a.m. and new officers will be announced May 19.
"If the University lacked expertise in the
After a bureaucratic mixup, a request for federal funding to establish a formal Native American Studies program at the University of Kansas is being returned to KU with a recommendation that it be resubmitted in another form.
Fund appeal for program back to KU
Don Stull, co-chairman of the Ad Hoc College Committee on American Indian Studies, said yesterday the group learned that a woman was abducted at the wrong suburbia in Washington, D.C.
The ad hoc committee was formed two years ago to study methods for establishing a formal Native American Studies program at KU. In late March the committee sent a request for $102,941 to the National Endowment for the Humanities in Washington.
Stull said he did not know how the request had been misruoted, but that NEH said it would have to be revised before being resubmitted.
Stull said the committee would probably submit the request with the recommended answer.
NEH told Stull the committee should have submitted a request to fund a pilot program. A pilot program is funded for a limited time and must be approved by the board before it will assume funding later. No more than $50,000 can be requested for a pilot program. Stall said the committee would "be the recommended
Audit indicates Gulf's pricing exceeded limits
PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Gulf Oil Corp. has received a notice of probable violation of federal pricing regulations in connection with sales to wholesalers in 14 midwestern and western states, the Department of Energy said Tuesday.
A DOE audit of 55 jobbers, or wholesalers, chosen as a reasonable sample in December 1975 revealed probable violation of maximum allowable price regulations, according to a prepared statement issued here by H. William Taylor III, northeast district director of DOE's office of special counsel.
A Gulf spokesman in Pittsburgh denied the allegations, which deal with probable overcharges for gasoline. He said the charges were not new.
Thomas Walker, Gulf manager of public communications, said the Federal Energy Administration in 1974 issued a notice of probable violation in connection with the use of a vehicle with drawnins in 1975 after a response by Gulf to apparently identical allegations, he said.
