Clash Mars Ceasefire As Leaders Talk Peace
SAIGON-Communist-led troops and South Vietnamese government forces were involved Monday in one of the fiercest battles since the ceasefire was declared over four months ago, according to reports received today.
In a series of running-fire flights in paddleies about 40 miles southwest of Saigon numerous Viet Cong and North Vietnamese troops were captured.
Earlier, Duong Van "Big" Minh, a former South Vietnamese president, had said that the people of South Vietnam were setting their hopes on the secret talks this week in Paris between Henry Kissinger and Hanol's Le Duc Tho.
Minh, who was one of the leaders of the coup that ended in the killing of President Ngo Dinh Dien in 1963, said that a realistic peace would depend on the good will of the opposing parties in South Vietnam—the Viet Cong and the Saigon government of President Nouman Van Thien.
He called for the immediate release of all political prisoners and scrapping of all laws that were oppressive at the Saigon government's
Meanwhile, observers in the Laotian capital, Vientiane, said that the ceasefire that began there February 22 was working, although it began when the S.S. backed supporters of Prince Souvanna Phouma and the military launched it was a major stumbling block to the formation of a stable government.

KANSAS CITY, Mo..Indications are that Kansas City Police Chief C. M. Kelley is about to be named permanent director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Kansas City Star said Monday night in a story from Washington.
The Star said that Kelley arrived in Washington Monday for the meeting, but it was recent days and quoted sources saying that he would see President Obama on Tuesday.

IRA Vows 'War' on Guards
The Belfast brigade of the IRA's extremist provisional wing said that this was to counter what they called the abuse and illtreatment of Irish men and women in "English concentration camps." The declaration followed the discovery, in an internment camp, of an apparent suicide by a 22-year-old detainee, who was an IRA suspect being held without trial.
BELFAST—The outawed Irish Republican Army declared war Monday night on prison guards and their families as part of their bloody campaign to wrest North Ireland from British rule and unite it with the republic to the south.

Ervin Denies Request; Watergate Stays on TV
By HARRY F. ROSENTHAL
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON — Special prosecutor Archibald Cox Monday asked the Senate Watergate committee to suspend its hearings. A majority of the panel said no.
Four of the committee's seven senators immediately rejected the bid by Cox, who

warned that continuing the hearings, scheduled to resume at 9 a.m. today (Lawrence time), would impede investigations into the scandal and increase the risk that mutually parties would no free
Cox said a three-month delay "seems reasonable, but I would be grateful for any significant period."
SEN. SAM J. Ervin, D-N.C., said his committee could not afford a delay because it was vital "for the people to learn the truth."
He was joined by Sen. Herman E. Tracy, D-Ga. Dr. Cox presen- tially made the request.
Talmadge added, "I't seems to me that Mr. Cox would be well advised to carry out his responsibilities without advising the Senate how to carry out theirs."
Sens, Joseph M. Montoya, D-N.M., and
Jeenger J. R-Conn, also supported
the research.
SEN. HOWARD H. Baker RJ, -RTenn,
and Edward J. Gurney, R-Flin., then
would announce a position on Cox's request

Hawaii, said he was inclined to support Ervin.
Two Republican Senators, Howard Barden of Tennessee and Edward J. Gurney of Florida, said they would wait until the executive committee meeting today.
"I do not accept the suggestion of the prosecution that the Senate investigation shall impel the search for truth," said Execu- tioner North Carolina supreme court justice.
"On the contrary, the preparation for the investigation on the part of the committee has greatly accelerated the revelation of the truth." Ervin added.
He said a postponement would "for all practical intentions and purposes put the decision to be made."
Summer Students: An Informal Survey
A large majority of KU summer-session students say they'll return to KU this fall, but they differ widely on exactly why they're attending summer school, according to a University Daily Kansan survey.
Some respondents simply said they were here because they "didn't have anything else to do."
The survey, conducted by the Kansan during enrollment Friday, was an attempt to a rough profile of KU summer student students with a statistically sound breakdown per se.
One of the first questions asked of the 60 student respondents, who were chosen at random as they left Allen Field House, was, "When did you attend the 1973 summer session at KU?"
Others had more specific reasons, such as a certain class offering, finishing early and making up credits dropped or lost in changing majors.
Three students were honest in admitting.
More than half would say only that they were working toward a degree.
"I don't have anything else to do," and one said she was "playing." Five students of the sixty they had no special reason for attending.
More than half the students, 33 said they were working while attending summer school, and more than 80 per cent, 49 of them, said they were returning to Lawrence in the fall.
The favorite forms of summer recreation mentioned were swimming, cited by 16, and tennis, cited by 17. Eight students, or 13 per cent, said they had no form of recreation.
Summer activities mentioned by two or more students included golf, bicycling, gardening, fishing, water skiing, running and going to the movies or the lake.
One student had his favorite recreation was "going to the Hawk." Other activities mentioned ranged from indoor activities such as bridge and refining furniture to sailing, motorcycle riding, lifting weights and camping.
A quarter of the students had no opinion on the so-called energy crisis, and a quarter

Except for some blighted elms, the campus flora is complete. Except for construction materials around Wescoe Hall and some sludge in Potter Lake, God is in his heaven and most things are right with the University of Kansas this summer.
Short sleeps and sandals are appearing on the campus fauna. The Shakespeare festival has begun, Fourth-of-July fireworks are scheduled in Memorial Park, tennis courts are busy, Boys State is mourning and Girls State won't be far behind.
Boynd the borders of KU, the South Park
bandhell is a hot for weeknight concerts.
The festival also offers food and drinks.
Life at KU these days is no longer a thrill a minute, even in the regular academic year. The summer is slower still.
These things mean that summer here can be interesting and pleasant, but not usually newsworthy. So the Daily Kanan will change its outlook. Instead of concentrating mostly on what sometimes is and sometimes simply passes for hard news, the daily Kanan will try to look at the campus and the Kanan's background on the commonplace things and try to dig up things that aren't so well known.
The Kansas will report some of us "little" things, too; when movies start at Woodruff Auditorium and they are about, when and who's coming to speak—in general, what you can do to satisfy that longtime need of Americans for diversion.
Besides news of KU and Lawrence prepared by the Kansan staff, you'll find state, national and international news from the Associate Press and the Los Angeles Times-Washington Post News Service. Each day, there'll be a column of news capsules to give you a quick summary of world events. Throughout the Kansan will be expanded news stories, features and analyses.
Look for the "On Campus" column each day on the front page. It will describe what's taking place that might be in interest, informative, educational or whatever.
There's no editorial page, but there will be opinion and analysis, clearly marked as such, by Kansan staffers and by AP, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times commentators. These will appear in various places in the Kansan, as will the editorial cartoons of The Miami日报 Don Wright, You'll find, too, Dave Sokoff's whimsical "Griff and the Unicorn" cartoon. Sokolek, a KU student, has drawn cartoons for the Kansan for four years and is now syndicated nationally.
Incidentally, the Kansan, for the second straight night, will appear four days a week. Monday through Thursday This will be the only time that hasn't than the old, twice-weekly summer Kansan.
And, in the interest of reducing anonymity, here is a description of those of our students in these classes.
The editor, Monroe Dodd, was graduated from KU's School of Journalism in 1971. He was also editor of the Kansan in fall 1970. His professional experience includes work on the copy desk of the Miami Herald. He returned to KU in fall 1972 to work on a master's degree in history, which he plans to complete in December.
Zahid Iqbal, associate editor, is a journalism graduate student who received his bachelor's and master's degrees in journalism from the University of Dacca in 1967 and 1968, respectively.
Summer campus editors are C. C. Caldwell and Kathy Tussing, Caldwell attended KU from 1964 to 1968 and was a foreign-language interpreter for the Navy before returning to KU in 1972. Tussing is a senior in journalism.

A low turnout for a student referendum, there naming of a hall for a KU chancellor, action by the Board of Regents on the KU budget and talk about tenure have been the highlights of the last month on the KU campus.
The Board of Regents approved a $48,443,480 budget for KU's 1974 fiscal year at the board's May Meeting. The net total operating budget, including auxiliary enterprises such as residence hall fees and health fees, will be $55,640,378, an increase of 5.8 per cent over the current fiscal year. The 1974 fiscal year begins July 1.
INCLUDED IN the budget the Regents approved was the Student Senate's allocation of $390,000 in activity fees. The Senate's activity fee budget was submitted to a campus referendum May 8 after a referendum was passed. A referendum was presented to the Senate. The group presenting the petition, the Coalition of Concerned Student
Organizations, contained members of 12 campus organizations whose funds had been cut or eliminated by the Senate, including the BSU, the International Club, Supportive Educational Services, Blacktech, the Arab, Iranian and Latin American Student organizations and other groups.
Only 1,041 of the 17,526 students eligible voted in the referendum, which rejected the Senate budget, 571-470. Despite the vote, Charles David, university attorney, said that the results of that or any referendum would not be binding on the Senate. Any changes in the budget must be in the form of supplementary allocations, Oldfather said. Members of Senate committee are studying the possibility of making changes.
ALSO IN THE budget was a reduction in the student activity fee from $14 to $12 a semester and an increase in the student health fee from $25 to $30 a semester. Rates increased from 18% to 23%. Increased from $15 to $20 a day. As a "protective measure," the Student Health

Service has been granted authority to borrow up to $80,000 from the Kansas Union repairs and maintenance fund until student health fees are collected at fall enrollment.
In the KU budget, modifications of Pearson and Olver Hall to accommodate handicapped persons were provided, as well as completion of repairs on steam tunnels between Green Hall and the Art Museum, roeving of part of Snow Hall, stabilizing of the north brick wall of Murphy Hall, repairing cracks in campus streets, installation of fire exit stairs on Green Hall, repairs on sections of sidewalks, and other miscellaneous remitts.
Nichols to Name Group To Investigate Tenure
Tenure has been the topic of meetings of several groups on campus. Chancellor Raymond Nichols has said he would appoint a special ad hoc committee to study tenure at KU. He received recommendations from the University Committee on Promotion
