Student petition to oppose football price increases
A petition indicating student opposition to a proposed football ticket price increase is being planned by two KU students. The petition calls for the million of Memorial Stadium renovations.
The students, Stuart Brown, Dodge City senior, and Kelthan Cuncan, Paola senior, said they hoped to circulate the petition this Saturday to all residence halls and during campus gatherings. The evidence is based on a proposed Student Senate resolution would also oppose the ticket price increase.
BROWN SAID he thought there was a lot of student support to stop the renovations.
The proposed Senate resolution opposes a University of Kansas Athletic Corporation (KUAC) proposal that would place a surcharge on student football tickets. The surcharge would increase student season tickets from $20 to $23.
Renovations opposed in the Senate resolution are a proposed expansion of the Victory Club, a game facility for Williams Educational fund contributors; VIP seating, an enclosed area of seating sold at much higher prices; and the addition of a wall to the south end of the stadium. Estimated cost for these renovations total $200.000.
However, the resolution stated that certain improvements were needed, including a synthetic turf, new dressing facilities and improved concession areas. Estimates for improved concession areas.
Sabbaticals reviewed by old plan

The deadline for sabbatical applications is today, and according to Ron Calgaard, vice chancellor for academic affairs, this year's qualification will be the same qualifications as in previous years.
"The applicants have sent their applications under the assumption that the existing guidelines will determine the decision." Calgaard said.
Confusion has surrounded the policy for sabbatical awards since a different sabbatical plan developed last spring was passed by the University Senate Faculty Council.
FACULTY MEMBERS who are granted natlabticals must agree to return to KU for academic work.
Babaticals are one or two semester leaves of absence from teaching and administrative duties to pursue advanced degrees. Employers may gain industrial or professional experience.
Calgaard, also ex-officio for the University Committee on Sabbatical leaves (UCSL), said yesterday that any change in the sabbatical policy this semester or next would have no effect on current sabbatical applications.
repay their sabbatical salary within two years.
Calgaard said decisions on sabbatical applications went through four stages. He said the applications initially were reviewed and the final ones were sent to the Chancellor in early December. Dykes then approves the candidates, forwarding his list to the Kansas Board of Regents. In early April, the board made the official presentation of sabbaticals.
Calgaard said the board usually approved Dykes' recommendations.
That plan was passed by the Faculty Council and forwarded to Dykes for approval.
Controversy surrounding the present sabbatical policy arose last spring when the Faculty Council proposed a new sabbatical policy.
The new policy would have allowed some sabbatical decisions to be based on factors other than merit, such as length of service to the University and length of time without a
However, the plan was rejected by Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor. Shankel said in a letter to William Westerbeke, FacEx chairman, that the proposed sab-
bautical amendments were incompatible with the Regens' guidelines, which specify that sabbaticals should be granted strictly under the plan could not be accented by Dykes.
The letter also stated there were ambiguous provisions within the proposals, but Westberke said he thought the conflict with the plan of cellphones was the plan's biggest problem.
AFTER RECEIVING Shankel's rejection, the faculty Council instructed FacEx to meet with administrators to resolve disarrrements over the proposed plan.
Council members said that they were concerned that personal opinion had influenced the administration's decisions and that the rejection of the plan might destroy confidence in the faculty governance system.
Facetx, the executive committee of the Faculty Council, which consists of 39 faculty members of the University Council, represents the University in the University governance system.
Members of FacEx and University administrators held a closed meeting Sept. 27 and reached what was described by Westerbeke and Shankel as a reasonable agreement toward a compromise on the proposed faculty plan.
Administrators attending the meeting were Shanker Calgaard and Mike Davis, University of Florida football coaches.
At the meeting, Davis proposed a compromise plan that would allow each of the 11 members of the UCSI to have one yes-vote for each saxibabia leave available.
EACH APPLICANT that received six or more quality for further committee consideration.
However, on Oct. 18, FacEx defeated a motion to recommend the proposed compromise to the Faculty Council. FacEx, instead, asked to discuss the issue at its meeting.
Because of a shortage of meeting time at last week's FacEx meeting, the sabbatical policy was not discussed. It is tentatively on the agenda for the Nov. 8 meeting.
Westerboke said last week that he wanted to finish some pressing matters before he could do what he did.
"No one is pressing the committee for an immediate decision," he said.
Westerbeke also said he thought applicants for a sabbatical this spring would be chosen according to the existing guidelines, regardless of whether the proposed sabbatical policy eventually was passed.
FDA to investigate wormy candy complaint

Staff Writer
A complaint of worm-infested candy, filed by the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity, will be investigated today by the Food and Drug Administration.
The complaint states that several Payday candy bars purchased from vending machines in the fraternity house were infested with worms.
On Oct. 25, Gordon Rebej Jr., Prairie Village junior, said he bought a Payday candy bar, manufactured by Hollywood Brands of Centralia, Ill., from a vending machine at the house. After he had taken a few bites of the candy bar, he said, a worm crawled inside and animation, he said, he found that the entire candy bar was infested with worms and eggs.
Reabe bought several more Payday
candy bars to see whether they were in-
vented.
THE NEXT DAY REabe took an unopened candy bar to the Consumer Affairs Association in the Kansas Union. Judy Kroeger, director of the association, opened the candy bar and cut into it. Kroeger and ase said it was infested.
Kroger called the FDA regional office in Kansas City, Mo., to report the alleged injury.
Jack McGrath, FDA investigator, said the investigator assigned to the case would叫 Reake for details and then trace the distribution process as far back as necessary to discover when the candy bars supposedly became infested.
B & B Vending Co., of Topeka serves the Alpha Kappa Launce fraternity as well as most of the fraternities and sororities and many businesses in Lawrence.
Kevin Remick, Union concessions manager, said he had not received any complaints of infested candy.

George Byers, candy of entomology,
said the candy must have been stored for
several months in a warm place for a
female moth to have gotten into the cake
and laid the eggs. He said this often happened in late summer.
"Normally this'll happen this time of year since it's been cool." Remick said.
Byers said that the moths were very selective about what they ate and that they spread slowly. If there is no other peanut candy in the vending machine, he said, the moths probably would not spread.
"It means it's old candy left over from the summer."
Ferguson said the price reduction was made because the bookstore unexpectedly received an additional 1,200 directories at no extra cost from the Office of University Relations, which distributes the directories on campus.
Price of phone directories cut
Byers said moths were not a health hazard and did not carry any diseases.

Ferguson said the bookstore originally purchased 1,000 directories from the publishing company at a cost of $220, or 52 cents a book. He said now that 2,202 directories were available, the price could be lowered to 50 cents for each one.
As of yesterday, the price of the new University of Kansas telephone directories has been cut from $1 to 50 cents. Warner Bros. acquired the rights of the Kansas University Bookstore, said

Ferguson said that anyone who already had purchased a directory at the original price could bring the receipt to the bookstore for a $2-cent refund. He said the refund included half of the directory price and half the tax.
If he had known about the extra direction, I would have said, the $1 figure would not have been set.

Rolin Eversole, director of the division of publications in University Relations, said her office distributed directories at no cost to students, including issuing that had a campus telephone number.
He said the $1 price was based strictly on the number of directories purchased by the bookstore and the fact that mostly off-print organizations purchased the directories.
Ewensole said she thought the directory had been moderately on schedule this year and that work on the directories had begun in June.

and said. "The price had to be set immediately."
SHE SAID the directories were delivered to University Relations on Oct 6th. thus, they could not do anything to argo.
She said it took about one week for
the data to arrive, and bundle the direc-
tories and distribute them.
Eversole said about 1200 directories were delivered to her office. All the ones sent to the bookstore to be sold were distributed to places with campus phones.
Eversole, who has coordinated the production of the directories for two and one-half years, said the directory was a joint effort between the division of publications
and the division of information of University Relations.
However, she said many campus offices and organizations were involved in compliance.
"Just about everybody on campus has some input into it," she said.
AS AN EXAMPLE, she said the office of student affairs provided information on campus organizations, the personnel office gathered information on faculty and staff members, and SUA provided the campus bus schedule.
Eversole said it cost the University about $1500 to gather all of the information that was needed.
The directory lists students' names, school addresses, phone numbers, home address.
Eversole said that although faculty members got proofs to check the accuracy of the information, about the only insurance information they had was completing enrollment materials correctly.
Information on faculty and staff includes name, position, home address, campus phone number.

The resolution stated that if those needed stadium renovations, for $700,000, could not be financed by any means other than a direct investment surcharge should be as low as possible.
Brown said he was particularly opposed to the stadium, wall around the south end of the stadium.
"THEAT WALL doesn't make sense, no matter who nays for it," Brown said.
Brown and Duncan said they eventually were going to channel the results of the study to researchers at a larger lab.
Duncan said he got involved with the petition because he felt the surcharge was too high.
Regent M. Prudence Hutton said she planned to discuss the surcharge with Chancellor Archie Dykes soon and urged the students to bring up the issue before the Regent's Institutions Coordinating Committee, of which she is chairman.
'It would seem to me that it would be a
good place for students to speak on this issue, "Hutton siad.
Barney McCoy, chairman of the sports committee and KUAC student representative, said yesterday that the proposal would be put before the sports committee next week to determine whether it should be approved to the full Senate for approval.
McCOY SAID he thought the student representatives on the KUAC Board would be interested in seeing the results of the petition to determine whether there was strong student sentiment against the surcharge.
Brown said anyone who wanted to help compose and circulate the petition could contact him.
The proposal later was approved by the Big Eight conference. The proposal will come up for a final vote by the KUAC at a special meeting this month.

Helms gets suspended sentence
WASHINGTON—Former CIA Director Richard Helms received a suspended minimum sentence after pleading no contest yesterday to a misdemeanor charge of failing to testify fully about the CIA's attempts to prevent the election of Marxist Salvador Allende as president of Chile in 1970.
The Department of Justice said it agreed to the no contest plea because bringing Helms to trial on a felony charge would involve great costs to the State. The department will not pursue such an action.

Gross
LeRoy Gross remembers the raising of an American flag in 1945 on Mount Sribachi as "just a job." Gross, one of six U.S. Marines captured on film for posterity at Iwo Jima in the waning months of World War II, didn't even realize he was being photographed. And although he is, in fact, not a member of the camera, Rosenthal's camera, Gross remains out of the public eye as a citizen—and World War II veteran—in Lawrence. See story page five.
