Saigon assembly lacks majority
SAIGON —(UPI)— Election returns in South Vietnam showed today there will be no single group with a majority in the house of representatives although military men come the closest.
A nearly complete count of votes cast in Sunday's election gave most of the seats in the 137-member house to political unknowns. About one third were members of military groups.
Only a few of the deputies had
the backing of the militant Buddhist faction led by Thich Tri Quang, a group bitterly opposed to the government of President-elect Nguyen Van Thieu.
Tri Quang's followers are angry over a decree recognizing a rival moderate Buddhist group as the nation's official church.
It was impossible to tell how the house of representatives would line up on the Buddhist issue, or whether it would give its backing to Thieu's programs.
TEL AVIV — (UPI) — The authoritative Cairo newspaper Al Ahram today said the United Arab Republic expects an Israeli counterattack for the sinking of the destroyer Eilat.
Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan charged that Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser had ordered a renewal of hostilities in ordering the attack Sunday on the Israeli vessel.
He warned: "We will know how
to react, step by step, as we did after he ordered the blockade of the Tiran Straits May 23."
Israel may avenge 'Eilat'
The Tiran blockade by Nasser's forces was considered by Israel as an act of war and led directly to the outbreak of the Middle East war Israel won in five days in June.
Dayan said he could think of no other reason for the Eilat attack other than that Nasser wanted to start the fighting again.
Romney tests party support
LANSING, Mich. —(UPI)— Michigan Gov. George Romney today begins a cross-country trip apparently to get a cross-section of party sentiment for his unannounced candidacy for the presidency.
The eight-day trip, which will expose Romney to the political winds and Republican whims in 10 states, begins in the Great Plains, stretches to the Rockies, to the Southwest and through the East to New England.
There were few meet-the-people stops scheduled. Most of the slate is filled with dinners and lunches with party faithfuls.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS Tuesday, October 24,1967
Nichols said the club had been allocated $2,500 from student activity fees this year.
Nichols said he didn't know what would be done about the club's bills; state money can't be used to pay last year's bills, and other arrangements will have to be made after he sees the bills.
Clark Coan, dean of foreign students, said he "had his ideas" where that four-figure deficit came from, but then no one can be sure.
Last year the club was allocated $2,400, said Gerald Doelling, Kansas City, last year's treasurer. But the first semester's club spent $2,000 and left only $400 for second semester's activities.
International Club has money troubles
The whole situation is "disgraceful," said Raymond Nichols, vice-chancellor of finance and the man who inherited the bills.
The International Club spent $1,100 more than it had last year, but no one knows how, where, when or who spent it.
Nobody kept books.
John Stucky, assistant to Coan, said: "We don't maintain a day-by-day financial account with the club because it is really the students' own club. We aren't always aware of the club's finances."
What to do?
37 cents in the hole
With a deficit of 37 cents listed April 10, the International Club officers contracted with the Kansas Union for the annual Feast of Nations.
This bill—$839—is still unpaid.
Doelling said the officers thought the Feast would be a money-raiser.
Warner L. Ferguson, Kansas Union business manager, "guessed" about 400 attended the Feast of Nations.
Not enough tickets sold
Coan said the tickets sold for about $1.25 or $1.50; about 200-250 tickets were sold. The rest, he said, were complimentary tickets. The probable intake was about $250-$350.
May 29, Doelling deposited $198.90 in the club's account. On June 2, he deposited $22.05.
Doelling said he couldn't remember exactly how much money was collected from the event because he wasn't in charge of the ticket sales. He said the other officers—Sammy Liu, presi-

Drawing is tonight for concert tickets
Sale of tickets for the Nov. 4 Student Union Activities (SUA) Homecoming Concert featuring jazz trumpeter Louis Armstrong begins tonight.
Group representatives will draw for bloc space at 6:30 p.m. in the Kansas Union Meadowlark Room.
Individual ticket sales will begin Oct. 30 at the information desk in the Union, in the Hawklet in Summerfield Hall and at the Information Booth on Jayhawk Boulevard. Ticket prices are $2.50, $2.25 and $1.75.
Approximately 8,000 tickets, 1,000 less than last year, are available. The stage for the concert will be placed on the west side of Allen Field House instead of on the north side as in past years, reducing the total number of seats but increasing the number of good seats.
Any group of 20 or more persons is eligible to draw for space tonight. Space will be assigned by the concert committee according to numbers drawn. Representatives of the groups will pick up their tickets Friday in the SUA office in the Union.

Professor says U.S. slave of N. Vietnam
He read a segment of Washington's farewell address.
"A nation that habitually indulges in the affairs of other countries is a slave to them..."
Lyman Van Slyke, a specialist in the history of modern China at Stanford University, said the United States is enslaved by North Vietnam because of its habitual animosity to communism. Van Slyke addressed his remarks to a large audience in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union Monday night. His lecture was titled "America's Asian Policy: The 1940's and the 1960's."
Involvement with China
Van Slyke began his lecture by telling of the shaping of United States policy toward China. He said the United States originally intended to stay completely out of Chinese affairs because there was no responsibility felt. This was due to the fact that the United
States had no military commitment there.
This attitude continued until World War II when the United States was pushed into the war at Pearl Harbor, Van Slyke continued. He emphasized that United States involvement in the war was not on behalf of China but because "we were pushed into it."
Later on, the issue became Chinese independence, Van Slyke said. Some thought the United States must keep China from becoming a satellite of Russian communism. Others felt the United States needed to give China industrial help. Others felt the United States should save China from some of the corruption within its own logistics system and other areas.
Van Slyke noted that Secretary of State George Marshall in the

Watson stays open till 11; called 'busy, but quiet'
Everything happened just like any other night—only it was an hour later.
Watson Library stayed open until 11 p.m. Monday.
Employees said "the library is busy tonight" but felt it was because mid-term exams are coming up. A 10:20 count found almost 300 students in the library. This was a few more than the normal count taken at 9:20 last week.
The count is taken as part of a study of night use of the library by Terrence Williams, assistant director of the library. He said
the library is definitely being used until 11.
"The cut-back to 10 was a cutback and we are happy to restore normal service to students," he said.
Extra students were hired for the extra hour of service and many of the regular employees will work the added hour.
Williams said most students using the library late at night are use reserve materials. Student employees at the reserve desk said "things are normal only we get to work an hour later."
