No Showers Likely Today
By CATHY O'BRIEN Kansan Staff Writer
Fireworks and a returned prisoner of war highlighted a Lawrence Fourth-of-July celebration that was rife with patriotic messages.
The fireworks displays began at dusk with ariel shells and the American flag glowing in the dark. The shells would begin to climb and suddenly burst into a scattering of cinders that gave the effect of glittering gold dust drifting down.
The theme of the display was said to be "Peace," but with the loud reports that sounded like an artillery battery discharge you couldn't be sure. Thankfully, these reports were intertwined with an occasional soft foof followed by fading cinders.
The firing of the aerial shells was accompanied by cheers from the crowds when the shells came close to the space jets they were aimed at.
Of the displays, the skeleton was the most impressive. Other displays featured Snoopy
As a finale there was a display of the Dove of Peace holding an olive branch in his mouth followed by the shooting off of 72 shells.

Before the fireworks, L.I. Cmdr. Charles Bmore, former POW now living in Overland Park, arrived in the stadium amid notes of "Anchors Away," cheers and some utterings of dislike, to give the main address at the Jaycee—sponged celebration.
His opening words, "Iam't it fun to be in America?" were met with cheers from a majority of the estimated 5,000 who were there to greet him.

Jerry Returns to Washington a Patriotic Cat
By ZAHID IQBAL
Kansan Associate Editor
Quite suddenly, yesterday, Jerry left. It was, to say the least, unexpected. I had thought the cat would stay with me at least until he ever. And I'd come to like the little bugger.
He was a good cat, as cats go. And as cats go,
he went.
I suppose I should have seen the signs. He

cowering in a corner of my room, terrified by the noise of explosions outside. It took me a while to assure him that these were just part of the fourth of July, which was the next day.
JERRY CAME OUT of his corner, checked the calendar and was apparently reassured. I gave him his surrender, which he quietly. Then he announced he was going out.
"But Jerry," I said, "aren't you trying to keep out of sight?"
"I'll be back in a while," Jerry threw over his shoulder as he walked out, leaving me in the middle.
But true to his word, he was back shortly, a sight fit to start the anybody who thinks of chancery.

Long Vigil Near End On Athletic Director
By GERALD EWING Kansan Staff Writer
After more than seven months of waiting, the name of the University of Kansas' new athletic director is expected to be an extension next week, says Cahonlee Archie Dykes.
Dykes will receive today the recommendations of the five-member athletic director search committee, headed by Dr. Chenk, professor of physical education.
Dykes said there was no chance of an announcement being made this week but if all it went well an announcement could be made by the middle of next week.
The four names expected to be presented

THE SEARCH committee has been interviewing possible candidates for the post since the resignation of Wade Stinson November 15. The committee is expected to recommend four names from which Dykes will make his selection.
The report, CBS News said, does not deal with any role President Nixon might have in the Watergate political-espionage activity and coverups.
The Washington Star-News reported Tuesday, quoting "informed sources," that Atty. Gen. Elliot Richardson Friday ordered the three not to appear Sunday as scheduled on the live CBS news-panel show "Face the Nation."
Mitchell, former attorney general and briefly director of Nixon's re-election campaign, is scheduled to be the lead-off witness Tuesday when the Senate Watergate committee resumes its public testimony. The event will take place in York in a case relating to a secret $200,000 contribution to the Nixon campaign last year.
CBS NEWS said the prosecutors' report recommended offenses of reduced charges for guilty pleas and cooperation for several officials described as coconspirators, to include former FBI Acting Director James P. Fowler and former White House aide Gordon Strachan."
The three original prosecutors stayed on the job after Richardson appointed Cox as his chief.
investigations. But sources have indicated that they were kept only to bring Cox up to the table.
Cox accepted their resignations Friday.
MIDWESTERN MUSIC and Art campers will perform free concerts Sunday. A band, choir and orchestra will perform at 2 p.m. and bands and an orchestra will perform at 7 p.m. All concerts will be in the University Theatre in Murphy Hall.
MUSIC OF THE renaissance will be performed by the Lawrence Chamber Players in connection with the Festival.
Deadwood? KU Faculty, Students Call Bennett's Attack Unfair
By DON ASHTON
Kansas Staff Writer
The President Pro-Tem of the Kansas Senate has concluded that state colleges and universities must "clean up their houses." At the University of Kansas, many students in the house is dirty, some would like to hold the broom and a few aren't commenting.
The Senate President Pro-Tem, Robert F. Bennett (Overland Park), in a recent interview reported by the Lawrence Daily Journal-World, was quoted as saying that colleges and universities should be stripped of woodhead and their legacies of lethargy."
The senator called for "a drastic reorganization and realignment of goals and activities."
MORE SPECIFICALLY, Sen. Bennett cited complaints from constituents that students rarely were taught by professors. In one case, it was said that a professor, who was not identified, taught only one hour a week.
Raymond Nichols
Others have complained of a lack of in-
formation, poor counseling and changing
relationships.
FORMER CHANCELLOR Raymond Nichols, contacted a few days after Bennett's comments were published, declined to state official university reaction.
As to the specific allegations the senator
voiced, Nichols said, "At this stage I would say I have no comment."
DELBERT SHANKEL, acting dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, did
"To the extent that the senator's comments may have been directed to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Texas Tech, there is less 'deadwood' among our

RESPONDING to the issue of faculty workloads, Shankel said many College teachers were working with students this summer without pay. He offered to introduce those teachers to the senator if he would care to visit the campus.

attributed to the gesture.
"I haven't received any favorable reaction," he said.
IN THE INTERVIEW, Bennett was quoted frequently as saying the principal function of the university was to teach. He called for a return to teaching.
"Although we teach teaching as our most important function in the College," Shankel responded, "it is also important to recognize that universities have traditionally played an important role in the development of new knowledge."
DALE SCANNELL, dean of the School of Education, said that in his own contacts with Sen. Bennett he had found the senator he had met who asked penetrating questions.
But, Scanell said, as reported, Bennett's recent comments included too many questions about the value of higher education. He said the senator's words sounded as if they were aimed toward attracting attention rather than at improving higher education in the state of California.
Responding to some of the criticisms brought out in the Bennett interview, Scanneal said that, on the average, a faculty member who was involved from 55 to 60 hours a week, was in contact
