Dykes Sees New Vistas And Great Future for KU
By PRIS KAUFMAN And DWIGHT HILPMAN
The Kansas governor's office has broached to the University of Kansas and other state universities the possibility of their becoming involved in statewide policy making, Chancellor Archie Dykes told a large group of KU alumni Wednesday night.
Dykes indicated after his speech that a member of Gov. Robert Docking's staff had contacted him earlier Wednesday with the KU on a new public policy-making board.
DYKES SAID the governor's representative told him that Kansas institutions of higher education might pool faculty, administrators, staff and other resources to

help design state policy.
The occasion for Dykes' statement was the Alumni Association's banquet to mark the centenary of the university.
Dykes, his wife, Nancy, and son, Jim were the honored guests at the banquet attended by about 500 KU alumni, faculty members and members of the Board of Directors.
THE SOCIAL, CULTUAL and economic progress of a state, Dykes said, was in part due to the increasing awareness of
"What happens in Kansas depends on what happens at the University of Kansas," she said.
Dykes praised the American system of higher education.
"The strength of any nation lies in its people," Dykes said. "They must have the opportunity to rise on the basis of their abilities and talents."
HE SAID that these talents could find outlets through higher education.
"No matter what the problems in the past that higher education has helped us to solve, there will be larger and more complex ones in the future," he said.
"We can't foresee what the future holds," Dykes said.
"UNIVERSITIES have always historically been special places for culture in a world increasingly materialistic." Dykes said. "All of us want the best quality education for all the young people of our state."
He said, however, that higher education would be a part of a process and that resources could be drawn from KU to solve the problems of the future.
One of Dykes' strongest points was his desire to keep an "open door" policy of enrolment at KU. He said that the ability to rise, for people with talent, was one of the most essential elements of our developing society.
DOLPH SIMONS JR., banquet chairman, introduced Dykes as a "tireless worker" who was always "hungry for excellence at all levels."
Jordan Haines, national president of the KU Alumni Association, told the alumni present that the banquet was a "most significant occasion."
HAINES SAID he felt strongly about the occasion because he had served on the search committee for the chancellor. In working on the committee, he said, he went over hundreds of applications for the position.
Dykes could not have been chosen with greater unanimity. Haines said.
FTC to Test Refinery Holdings
—THE PAKISTANI news agency account, culled apparently from refugees who fled after the coup, said tribesmen outside Kabul had taken up arms against Daud. The dispatch said that Daud's coup generated no response from the people of Kabul but that tribesmen outside resisted and that 36 persons died in clashes Tuesday morning.
Russell Wiley, head of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp, directed the 90-piece high school band that provided musical entertainment. The students are among the 1200 high school students from 50 states who are at KU attending the camp.
**REPORTS FROM Western diplomats in Kabul said members of the royal family and senior government officials had been arrested, a spokeswoman said all Americans in Kabul were safe.**
WASHINGTON (AP)—A Federal Trade Commission spokesman said Wednesday that successful antitrust action against major oil companies would include loosening their grip on refining and pipelines.
Skip DeVol, a former KU student and banjo player, played with the band.
"I could not imagine a satisfactory relief that did not include the creation of independent, visual refining capacity," Halverson added.
"Significant diversite," was the way it was put at a news conference by James Halverson, director of the FTC's Bureau of Competition.
Halverson declined to be more specific. In accusing the nation's eight largest oil companies of anticompetitive practices, he said he would say what sort of action should be taken.
Halverson said the issues, policies and relationships involved were so complex that the FTC should await developments before staking out its position.

NEW DELHI, India-Repaes reached here Wednesday of executions, arrests, fighting and calls for a counter-coup in Afghanistan, where the brother-in-law of the king has seized power and proclaimed a republic.
Confirmation of the accounts reaching New Delhi could not be made because normal communications with Kabul, the Afghan capital, were cut off.
THE NEWS agency, Pakistan Press International, said it learned from refugees that Gen. Abdul Ali Shah, the army commander loyal to the king, and scores of other officers were executed after Tuesday's revolt by Lt. Gen. Mohammed Dudh Khan. Its dispatch from Karachi in Pakistan added that some religious leaders in prominently Moslem Afghanistan had called on him to be killed, a support of King Mohammed Zahir Shah, 98, who remained in Italy where he had been undergoing bath treatments.
One account said 36 persons were killed in fighting on the day of the revolt.
The reports:
The news agency said that a large number of Afghans had fled the country and were traveling to neighboring countries.
The informants added that it appeared the coup was engineered by about 50 young officers under Daud Khan, who was once a prime minister.
Afghanistan's monarchy has ruled the country for 43 years.
Daud promised "genuine democracy" after seizing power. He claimed that the country had been left in the hands of a dictator.
marketers had suffered because of the actions of Exxon, Texaco, Gulf, Mobil, Standard of California, Standard of Indiana, Shell, and Atlantic Richfield.
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate on Wednesday rejected a scaled-down, sponsored by Republicans, minimum-wage bill indicating support for a more comprehensive proposal drafted by the Senate Labor and Public Welfare Committee.
Senate Fells GOP Substitute
in contrast, the committee bill would extend coverage to government employees and to domestices and employees of various occupations—some seven million persons in all.
Sponsors of the GOP substitute proposal, which was defeated, 57-46, said they now planned efforts to amend each section of the committee bill.
The Republican bill, sponsored by Sen. Peter Domincio, R-Colo., would raise the $1.60 basic minimum wage to $2.30 over four months and $2.50 over 14 months in the committee's bill.
Jit would have extended coverage only to some five million federal, state and local agencies.
A final vote is scheduled today.
