New Hospital Goes Up
Although work seems to be progressing rapidly at the new student health center, another KU class may graduate before its doors open. The hospital is scheduled to open in May 1974. The present Watkins Hospital building will probably be used for classrooms or administrativ space.

Referendum Attempt By Firemen Denied
By KAREN DIRKS
Kansan Staff Writer
The Lawrence City Commission discounted a petition Tuesday that called for a city referendum on the question of an equal pay scale for firemen and policemen.
Milton Allen, city attorney, told the commission he did not find the matter appropriate for a referendum. Milton cited several court decisions that had determined police and firemen's salaries to be administrative matters.
"city needs and economic conditions fluctuate." Allen said. "It would be desirable to have the city vote on it. It is my opinion the matter is not subject to referendum."

The study was compiled by sampling 11 per cent of the more than 3,700 county roads.
Visiting Nurses and Meals on Wheels are active agencies included in the council plan.

The Douglas County Visiting Nurses Association gives care to the homebound, and provides medical care.
"IT MAY REQUIRE skilled nursing, teaching, physical therapy or personal care," according to Marcele Laupe, assistant director of the association. "And 75 per cent of our patients are senior citizens."
The visiting nurses also screen potential clients for Meals on Wheels.
MEALS ON WHEELS serves nearly 50
middley meals, Monday through Friday,
to be served on weekdays.
"Funding is totally through the community," said Debbie Beene, agency chairman. "We do charge our clients $1 per person and we are working with local organizations are willing to help out."
Meals are prepared at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Immanuel Lutheran Church and Cottonwood Inc. Some 125 volunteers deliver them.
"AS WELL AS giving them food, it helps them psychologically," Mrs. Beehe said. "Otherwise, these people wouldn't see anyone."
However Meals on Wheels is limited to preparing a maximum of 25 special meals a day. The Council on Services to the Aging has discussed supplementing this service with congregate meals at various locations throughout the area.
Some housing relief for the elderly is due Aug. 1, when the Babcock Citizen Citizens Highrise at 1700 Massachusetts St. is scheduled for completion. Under the authority of the Highrise Authority, the 7-story, 120-building will be open to low income residents over the
age of 62 who are able to meet financial eligibility criteria and to take care of
John L. Derrick, county welfare director, applauded recent efforts by local organizations to improve the life of senior citizens.
An elderly couple was living in the back of a station wagon because they couldn't come up with the money for a rent deposit.

"WE CUDN'T AND didn't do the job," he said. "The welfare effort has not been effective because we never had the personnel to do the job. It takes the community. We don't have a registered nurse on our campus instance. We can't build a building."
The County Welfare Office has 230 persons over the age of 65 on their current rolls, more than one half of them in boarding homes.
By Jan. 1, 1974, responsibility for the aged will be shifted to the Social Security Administration in accordance with federal legislation passed last year.
DERRICK POINTED OUT that area welfare recipients totaled only a small fraction of the more than four thousand residents on 65 on Social Security rolls.
"I think economists are still saying that 10 per cent of the population is self-sustaining by retirement age, which indicates an imbalance somewhere," he said.
Derrick's implication is borne out by the council's survey. Elderly persons here listed financial woes as their primary concern, with difficulty in paying property taxes and maintaining houses topping the list.
THE LAWRENCE PARKS and Recreation Department is another organization involved in the welfare of the elderly. The Pioneer Club, open to anyone with an interest in South Park Recreation Center for lanceeches, trips, games and other activities.
"We have had up to 200 members," said kathy Fodo, center director, "including the staff of our office."
Fode said meals always drew a good crowd, some coming from as far as Otwua, Kibu, or Mombasa.
THE CENTER DOES not provide transportation, however, so club members must rely on themselves, their families or a taxi service to attend meetings.
Occeer Moe, secretary of Penn House, a self-help organization for poor persons, is in frequent contact with aged residents who need help.
"We have an extensive information service for the elderly," she said. "We provide security, medical assistance, welfare and housing developments, among others."
"WE HAD AN emergency transportation service for a year, but it has been curtailed for the summer because we lack moneyed girls. I hope we can start it again in the fall."
Penn House is run by and for poor persons
and the organization has no steady source of
fund.
"We rely on scrounging." Miller said.
Eric said,
PENN HOUSE MANAGES to encourage enough money to maintain an emergency medical fund, run a grocery service for the elderly, run a food stamp car pool to the welfare office.
Government sources do not provide for non-prescriptive drugs, so Penn House chips in for items like aspirin. It's usually the elderly who use this service.
"Often our elderly clients receive some sort of official form or document through the mail, but no one has said. "So they bring it to us. We help them it is and, if necessary, fill out a form."
KANSAS CITY (AP) -- Mandatory urinalysis tests for National Collegiate Athlete Association performers could be a requirement, an executive Director Walter Bever said Tuesday.
First, however, the NCAA must determine which drugs should be denied athletes, and that research is under way now, Byers said.
The NCAA already is working with some member institutions on a voluntary urinalysis drug testing program. The second major project in the research is a questionnaire on drug usage, mailed this spring to 143 member institutions.
Ballard Center serves about 350 families a year, many of them regular visitors. In 1972 it received $14,000 from the United Fund, their only guaranteed income. Their budget was over $33,000 last year. The deficit was made up through contributions.
Byers said in the near future, hopefully the NCAA Council meets in early August to address a number of issues.
"WE SPENT A day finding them a house and advanced the deposit. The couple moved in and with that little advance they would become self-sufficient." Finday said.
After nearly five months of competition, the track season for the University of Kansas finally came to a close at last weekend's National Amateur Athletic Union Championships, held in Bakersfield, Calif.
NCAA Executive Director Forecasts Urine Tests for Athletes by Fall '73
More than 70 players, members of the Association of Tennis Professionals, met Tuesday night after a British high court refused to quash the suspension of Plica, and their plans to boycott the prestigious Wimbledon classic, due to start next Monday.
Last January, the center learned that an elderly couple was living in the back of a station wagon. The couple couldn't come up with the money for a rent deposit.
LONDON (AP) — The world's top tennis stars announced late Tuesday night they would boycott Wimbledon because of the suspension of Yugoslav star Nikki Pilic.
"Old people are potentially ver, powerful," Findlay said. "One of the beauties of being retired is that you have the time to lobby for your own welfare. When people are noticed, they begin to take notice of themselves."
In the morning the All-England Club announced their seedings-16 in the men's. Of the women, 10 of the seeded men, 15 had been to the tournament if Pill leftright his case.
The players include Americans Stan Smith, Arthur Ashe and Charlie Pasarell; Australians John Newcombe, Tony Roche Stolte, and British stars Mark Cox. Gary Benson
The court decision and subsequent boycott announcement, which could reduce the Wimbledon tournament to a semifinal, is one of a long day of uncertainty and tension.
Two of the four Jayhawks entered placed in the competition.
KU Track Team Earns Honors; Coach Is Optimistic Of Future
Stan Smith of Passadea, Calif., rated the top spot in men's singles, and Margaret C. of Australia was the No. 1 woman. A total of 6 U.S. men and three women were seeded.
Mark Lutz, the Big Eight Champion in both the 100 and 220-dash. dishes, finished with an eighth-place finish.
Players Announce Wimbledon Boycott
Because of his second place finish in the meet, Lutz was selected to represent the United States in a series of AUU meets this summer in Europe. The AAU Team will team up with the U.S. Army, July 11 and 12; in Turin, Italy July 17 and 18 and in Minsk, Russia July 23 and 24.
Also named to the team were Terry Porter in the pole vault, Delario Robinson in the high hurdles, Randy Smith in the high jump, Kent McDonald in the steepelech.
Lutz's time broke his own KU varsity record of 20.7. Also placed was Terry Porter, who finished third in the pole vault at 16-6.
Also announced last weekend was the All-District Five Track and Field team, selected by the Midwest Region of Track and Field Writers of America.
Sam Colson, the NCA record holder in the javelin, was named Field Athlete of the Year and Lutz was named Track Athlete of the Year.
Bob Timmons, KU track coach, was named the Coach of the Year for District 13.
Timmons, in an interview Monday, said he was extremely proud of the performances turned in by the team in the last five months.
"I'm happy with the way our team performed all year," he said, "I was pleased that six of the guys made it on the All-District Five team."
KU swept all the honors and placed six men on the All-District team.
Programs at Ballard are developed directly from the needs of those who come to the attention of the center. A senior citizens group is one such program. A medical program and an emergency food program are others.
"THE SITUATION with the elderly here is pitiful," she said, "but it has been imminent."
"The council has done a lot to bring the problems of the aging to the attention of the community, but the elderly don't have a lot of time to wait for a pilot program to become a reality. Many who come here have incomes of only $65 a month."
THE BALLARD COMMUNITY Center in North Lawrence is also involved with low-income housing projects.
Lenore Ffinday, co-director of the center, also is involved with the Services to the
Once the council officially approves a list of non-permissible drugs, the drug education committee will propose before the executive committee a testing program at NCA4 championship events, beginning this fall.
"What we need is hard information on whether there is a drug problem," said Jerry Miles, NCAA public relations manager for the New York City schools but a similar unrnalysis they found that drugs were not that big a problem among the athletes themselves."
have a recommendation on which drugs should be banned.
Byers said the details of a program had not been defined but the tests would be mandatory, and if it was determined that an athlete had used an unauthorized drug that manager his health or give him an unfair competitive edge he could be ruined ineligible.
An NCAA spokesman said university division football probably would not be affected by the testing, since it had no single championship event. He ruled out the likelihood of urinalysis tests for bowl game participants. But testing could be undertaken at the NCAA college division football championships, he said.
Miles said there was no record of drugs actually improving an athlete's performance and this has been a theme of the NCAA's drug education program, undertaken in cooperation with a variety of other groups.
"Education is the first part of the picture," Miles said. "The second is an awareness, which is where we are now. The third is the development of an enforcement program."
It is anticipated that such a recommended testing program would be selective, Byers said. That is, not all NCA4 championship events in any one year would be affected.
WASHINGTON—Kansas City Police Chief Clarence M. Kelley told the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday that as FBI director he would not collect political data for the White House, would not make any political speeches and would not provide documents to any White House aide except through the attorney-general.
Kelley Faces Senators
Kelley's assertions, in response to questions from Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, who was the lead candidate for former acting FBI head L. Patrick Gray III, Gray was subsequently nominated as permanent FBI director following the death of his wife, Katherine, 1972, but his name was later withdrawn.
Asked what he would do if the White House requested him to make a political speech, Kelley replied: "I would notify the attorney general that I had received such a request and would refuse to have appeared."
KENNEDY ASKED: "Would you provide material to a White House aide without his consent?"
"I would refuse and notify the attorney-general," Kelley said.
Kelley, 61, who spent 21 years with the FBI before being named police chief of Kansas City. Mo, 12 years ago, said he would not bow to political pressure.
"NO ONE should be confirmed who would bow to such pressure," he said. I have never bowed to political pressure and I'm not about to start."
Kelley would become the second permanent director of the FBI, succeeding Hoover who spent 47 years as the chief before his death 13 months ago.

Bob. Dole, R-Kan, noting that C. M. Kelley has "root in Kansas," has also expressed complete support of the Kansas police chief's nomination to head the FBI.
"Since coming to Kansas city, he has demonstrated an impressive capacity to respond to changes and has built a national model of modern police science and technology.
"Having served with great distinction in the FBL, he knows the bureau and the basics of enforcement on a personal level. He understands his responsibility, its mission and its history."

The commission passed a motion proposed by Commissioner Jack Rose asking for a declaratory judgement so that the court could know what the legal implications are.
IN OTHER ACTIONS, the commission approved a motion for further investigation of a proposed judicial building to be shared with the county at a joint city-county level. Participation in the facility would require $500,000 in city revenue sharing funds.
Commissioner Barkley Clark stressed that it would be a cooperative action for city and county law enforcement officers, not a combined action.
Buford Watson, city manager, said the funds were available. He cited the advantages of participating as the prevention of duplication between city and county law enforcement officials and a chance to update jail facilities, which are inadequate at present.
Commissioner John Emick objected to the motion on the grounds that it restricted the commission to using the space for city offices when it might not be adequate.
ROSE DISAGREED, SAYING Lawrence police facilities were perfectly adequate. He said he would not consider further investigation unless he was assured that the police building would be used instead of a prison. He then proposed a motion for investigation and meeting with the stipulation that the police building be used for city office space.
THE MAYOR'S AMENDMENT was defended and Rose's motion with the support of her peers.
Mayor Nancy Hambleton agreed with Emick and proposed an amendment to the motion which strongly suggested using the commission but which would not restrict the commission.
Local Musician's Union No. 512 asked the commission for a budget increase of $2,000. Speaking for the union was William Kelly, University of Kansas registrar. He pointed out that benefits the city concerts offered to Lawrence and the need for an increase of funds.
The commission declared it a budgetary matter to be considered when the budget was proposed. The commission also recommended that federal culture funds as another resource,
The commission discussed and then deferred action on a controversial re-zoning plan.
He was told, however, that he could move to some property which he owned across the street. Later it was discovered that this property was not zoned for auto salvage yards.
MILLS WAS OPERATING an auto salvage yard. When his office building burned down. More than 50 per cent of the building was demolished and a city ordinance prevents re-building in these circumstances.
Because Mills was mistakenly to move, attempts have been made to solve his problem by re-zoning or reclassification of auto salvage yards.
The commission debated what reclassification of all zones for an individual might mean to zoning laws. The matter was then deferred.

Prosecutors Lock Up . . .
Staff members on the committee refused to attend the meeting and had been requested to meet with the team.
The White House had no comment on the report that Dean borrowed campaign funds. Federal District Court Judge John J. Sica has ordered Dean to testify to the Security committee under a grant of immunity from the government will have to prove it gathered the evidence independently of what Dean said at public hearings.
"We cannot allow you to trade your testimony about the culpability of others in return for dropping all charges against you," Cox said.
He refused to talk to the grand jury, where he has no immunity, claiming his Fifth Amendment right against self-crimination.
The rejection was coupled with an offer to allow Dean to plead guilty to a one-count indictment charging a conspiracy to obstruct justice.
"THE EVIDENCE that has been gathered and is still being gathered establishes that you were at the center of a very profound kind of corruption," special prosecutor Archibald Cox wrote Dean on May 22.
There was testimony at the Senate hearings last week that Dean helped plan
both the burglary and bugging of Democratic headquarters a year ago and the attack on a Jewish school.
JUDGE SIRICA ordered the government's evidence on Dean sealed and deposited with the court Tuesday after a request by Cox's assistant, James Neal. Neal told the court the prosecutors want to insure that if Dean is indicted they can prove that he did not come from Dean's testimony before the Senate Watergate committee.
Sirica ordered that the seal "be broken only in the event that Dean should challenge at any stage of any criminal proceeding the validity . . . on the ground that such injury was evidence was derived directly or indirectly from testimony compelled from Dean."
Sources reported Dean has told the Senate investigators that there were discussions at the White House early this year on ways "to affect" the uptick in the hearing prices would have.
Sen. Howard H. Baker Jr., R-Tenn, the committee vice chairman, said Sunday he had been approached by a presidential assistant who asked if the White House have some say in the selection of committee counsel'. Baker said, 'I told him no.'
One plan, Dean reportedly said, was to try to get a student friendly to the White House or the Capitol.
