KANAS CITY, Kan—A psychologist who is a life-long resident of Kansas testified yesterday that two tabloids published in New York are offensive to the average Kansan and appeal to a morbid and shameful interest in sex.

Voth appeared as an expert witness for the prosecution at the federal trial of Alvin Goldstein, James Buckley and Milky Way Productions, Inc., of New York. They are
A UNIVERSITY of Kansas English professor, Dennis Quinn, is expected to take the stand this morning to testify about the literary value of the two magazines.
In Goldstein's first trial, Quinn testified that the magazine did not have serious literary value, testimony that Quinn is expected to repeat in today's proceedings.
Voth said that even though there are no specific studies on contemporary community standards, he insisted he knows what they are.
He is a psychiatrist on the staff of the world-famous Menninger Foundation in
Topeka, Kan., and the Topeka Veterans Hospital.
He said 90 per cent of his patients are Kansans, and added that he has made about 100 appearances before church and civic groups in the past few years on topics related to what he called "disintegrating trends in our country."
VOTH ALSO said he has received a great deal of mail from persons who are concerned with what explicit material is doing to the country.
After the jury of seven women and five men had seen slides showing every page of one edition of each of the two tablioles, Voth was awarded an again page by page on the witness stand.
Student fiction fills prof's tabloid
After one semester of teaching fiction writing at the University of Kansas, Alan Lichter, assistant professor of English, said he discovered students at KU had talent
The result was a 12-page publication, called Rendezvous, put out every semester for the last two semesters, by Lichter's class.
"I found so much talent on campus I decided to try a fiction tabloid," Lichter said. "It was to give new writers a chance to get exposed."
Lichter has kept Rendezvous a class project and has only stories written by her.
In response to questions, the psychiatrist explained what he found in them that led him to believe they appease the prudent and keep the Kansai region engaging contemporary community standards.
"Rendezvous is a project for just my class." Lichter said. "It is not an open question."
ON ALMOST EVERY page, he found something he believed appealed to this prudent interest and was paternity offensive to the average Kansan.
Lichter said students submit stories they have written for the class and the subjects of the stories vary from science fiction to romance.
Stories for Rendezvous are selected by three editors, who are elected by their classmates. Licker said there were usually 35 stories selected from the 35 stories submitted.
Rendezvous has gained steadily in popularity at KU. The publication's sales increased from the first issue, which sold 300,000 copies to last fall's issue, which sold 1,500 copies.
"It's become a more professional journal," Lichter said. "The more recent Rendezvous has even attracted national notice."
The Supreme Court has held that anything which appeals to prudent interest in patiently offensive and has no redeeming scientific, literary, artistic or social value is obscene. It has also been held that obscene material is not protected by the First Amendment and its guarantees of freedom of expression.
Lichter said he had received letters from

under cross-examination, Dr. Vork acknowled that he does not specialize in sex therapy. He said he had not made any studies of pornography and its effect on sexual behavior. He had read half a list of six books recently published on human sexuality.
He said the final copy would be sent to the publisher during the last week in November and would be on sale in students' students the following for 10 dollars at the Kansas University and in Wesco Hall.
The defense also questioned the admissibility of Voth's testimony, citing a case about gay rights at the University of Missouri, where his testimony was
Voth's testimony, the defense contended, and opposed the opinion and bias rather than scientific fact.

Corps puts unemployed to work
WASHINGTON (AP)—The federal government began its billion-dollar effort to cut down massive youth unemployment this week by sending the first Young Adults Conservation Corps workers to wildlife refuges and forest areas.
The department of political science is initiating a new integrated internship program on an experimental basis next semester, Clifford Ketzel, undergraduate adviser in and professor of political science, said yesterday.
Ketzel said the program would consist of
By the end of this year, 7,896 units would be tackling conservation tasks in urban.

KU, K-State fraternity members to tote football for leukemia aid
The fight against leukemia will play a part in this Saturday's KU-KState football game when the game ball will have traveled 90 miles during a run-a-thon fund-raising
The modes of travel are the hands of Phi Gamma Delta chapter members from both universities who will run the club Friday on Route 24 from K-State to KU.
projects. The overall program is expected to create more than 300,000 jobs.
The pledges will be donated in the name of Rod Morgan, a member of the K-State chapter when he died of leukemia in 1974. While Morgan was in the hospital, the Phi Gamma Delta members began the run-a-thon tradition.
Fraternity members have been accepting pledges for the run-a-don, pledges to be able to walk in a group.
Bill Quamman, social services chairman of KU's Phi Gamma Delta chapter, said yesterday that the fraternities expected to collect $4,000. Quamman said KU's chapter already had raised $1,100 in pledges from Lawrence businesses and residents.
The teenage unemployment rate is at 18.1 per cent and black teenage unemployment is at 37.4 per cent. The 18.1 per cent figure means 1.6 million workers between the ages of 16 and 19 are to find work, according to Labor Department statistics.
Quatnam said the run-a-thon would begin at K-State at 10 a.m. when Robert Karmskiz, 13, would throw the ball to the first runner. Karmskiz has had leukemia for the first time.
The ball will be relayed to different members of the chapters at quarter-mile intervals and is expected to arrive in Lawrence at 6:30 p.m. Friday.
Quatman said the ball would be presented at the beginning of the game to Kansas LT. Gov. Shelly Smith, a Phi Gamma Delta alumnus.

FEATURING:
From 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM Monday through Saturday
12 credit hours: six for the internship, three for an intern seminar and three for directed readings. He said it was especially aimed at seniors and second semester juniors.
The internships will be done in offices of the executive, legislative or judicial departments of a nongovernmental office of a public affairs nature, for example, the Kansas Motor Carriers Association, Electric Companies and the Kansas League of Women Voters.
Come in and give us a try. We think you'll like it!
"I envision the chairman of the ethics commission coming and talking to them, lobbyists from various organizations and visitations to unique parts of the state government such as a corrections institution," Ketzel said.
KRETZE, SAID that because the program used the state structure, he thought the program should have a "switch."
Ketzel said that he would only take 12 interns for the first program and that anyone interested should apply soon. Applicants must be hired by Dec. 1. His office is in 504 Blake.
Unlike the CCC, at least 75 per cent of the youth corps will not live in residential camps but instead will commute from their homes to their jobs. A residential camp is being set up for early next year in Yellowstone National Park.
He said he would send out notices about the program to political science schools and Regents schools across the state and would welcome any student who wanted to participate in the program who met the eligibility requirements.
Labor Department officials say the move away from residential sites means more money will go for jobs, instead of for living quarters. Three agencies, the Labor Department, the U.S. Postal Service and the Interior Department, share responsibilities for operating the program.
He said there were three requirements an applicant must meet. They are:
The applicant must have made a declaration as a political science major.
The applicant must have at least nine hours cred in political science, including US politics.
—The applicant must be either a senior or second-seester junior.
