Hilltop Client Data on File
BY JEANNE SMITH
Kansan Staff Writer
In response to an announced investigation of the Hilltop Day Care Center by Jon Josserand, Johnson Freshman, Judy Benciverne the Hilltop director said that many of the facts Joserand sought were available in Student Senate files.
"The information Jossenard is seeking in the investigation has been on file in the Student Senate office since last fall," Bencivenga said Sunday.
The records show that of the 54 children now attending the center, 44 are children of students, six are children of faculty and four are children of staff members. Bencivengo
Josserand said earlier that if not enough student use was being made of the center, the financial allotment by the senate might need to be reconsidered.
Bencivengo said the original purpose of the center was to offer day care facilities for children of students. She said faculty and staff children were accepted at a higher fee to help offset the operation costs of the center, which should allow lower fees to student parents.
In an article in Friday's Kansan,
Josserand said the day care center did not have to appear before the Finance and Auditing Committee even though the Student Senate payed the rent and utilities building in which the center was housed.
Bencivengo said the arrangement with the senate on rent and utilities had been last year when the initial request for funds was made by the center. The senate was to pay rent and utilities on the building. In return, the day care center was to maintain the facilities and allow some of their classroom facilities to be used at night by University students.
Bencivengo said she had asked Molly Laffin, student senate member and president of the Hilltop board of directors, if the center should appear before the Finance and Auditing Committee this spring for next year's rent and utilities allocations. Laffin told Bencivengo that it would be unnecessary.
"One of the biggest problems of day care centers is finding space," said Bencivengo, who has organized and operated other day care centers.
This year the day care center requested funds to help establish the center in addition to rent and utilities. They were allotted a total of $10,249 and had exceeded this amount by more than $3,500 by March of this year.
The only request of the center for next
year is for rent and utilities. Bencivicum
said next year the center intended to
An addition to the day care center is planned for next year. Twenty-six of the children will be included; two children of staff, two children of faculty, and 22 students. An additional room would be made available for use by KU students in the evening.
"We have told the senate we will pay for painting and carpeting the room," Ben Coulter said.
Instead of funds from the Student Senate, one said the new addition will be payed for fund-rising procedures similar to those used in other universities. That is requesting contributions from women's
Jossen said that complaints about the alleged difficulty of contacting the day care center director also would be included in the investigation.
clubs, church groups and will hold bake sales.
Bencivengo said in response to this allegation that she had asked Josserand at her request for a meeting with cording to Bencivengo, Josserand he had tried to call her last week. She said she asked him if he had left a message and that he replied, no, that he was difficult to reach.
"With my obligations as director, fund raiser and teacher, sitting by the phone is not high on my list of priorities," Bencivengo said.
U.S. Officials Identify Drug In K.C. Area
A street drug that has been blamed for the death of four persons in the greater Kansas City area has been identified by the U.S. Department of Justice as methamphetamine, *Mo.* as four-methoxy amphetamine.
It is a slightly pink powder with a bitter taste and has been sold as marmalace and
Sources at Headquarters said that persons in the Lawrence area should be aware of the drug and anyone wishing to have a blood test analyzed should bring it to Headquarters.
Materials will be handled confidentially.

Publisher Discusses Population
Environmental doom predictions were discounted and a plea for a more equitable distribution of the world's resources was made by Garad Piel, publisher of Scientific American, in a speech Saturday at the Kansas Union.
El pintel spoke on "What Limits to Growth?" following the 1973 awards presentation of the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
"As each production improves its methods, its resources increase." Piel said. Puel warned against acceptance of neo-atomization techniques. "As many, environmental groups ascribe,
Fiel said problems incurred from the use of technology were problems that could be solved through further development and use of technology.
Contemporary neo-Malthusians predict the terminal misery of the planet from poisoning by pollution because of excessive population, Piel said. They suggest that the growth of population, production and pollution should be halted.
Population does not increase faster than production, as Malthus thought, because people come to see that fewer children need the well-being of the whole, Piel said.
Piel said that the population began stabilizing before the modern use of contraceptives. According to Piel, the birth rate in European countries decreased through voluntary control to 10 births per 1000 following the industrial revolution.

Watergate Affair . . .
"The population explosion is a new experience for human beings, owed to rising birth rates, but to lower death rates," he said.
District Court here, Dean gave the keys to a safe-deposit box to Chief Judge John J. Sirica, saying the box contains the钥匙 taken from the White House, to prevent them.
The source said the government had refused to grant Dean Immunity in exincest cases.
Another observer said Dean, fired by Nixon a week ago, still may waive his right to the constitutional protection against self-murder even if he failed to win immunity.
—Rep. Bella Abzug, D-N.Y., announced she will cooperate a resolution seeking a House inquiry on whether grounds exist for impeaching the President, Sen. James L. Buckley, R-Con.-N.Y., said it would be outrageous to start impeachment proceedings in the absence of all the facts in the Watergate affair.
"If he goes before the Senate Watergate committee and creates a tremendous sensation by implicating everybody in the White House on national television," the lawyer said, "he'll be able to claim he could have been tried because of all the pretrial publicity."
- Former Atty. John N. Mitchell said his wife's report suggested that Nixon resign "is ridiculous." The Committee for the Re-election of the President issued a statement by Mitchell saying he was "overly critical," which carried the suggestion in a story, advantage of a personal telephone call from Mrs. Mitchell to a UPI reporter.
Defense attorneys in the Pentagon Papers case said Sunday they would ask a federal appeals court to order the charges against Elisberg and Russo dismissed on Tuesday. The judge compromise the judge. U.S. District Judge Matt Byrne said he hadn't been prejudiced by a meeting he had earlier with Nixon about taking over as director of the FBI and refused to dismiss the case Friday. Byrne is still considering the possibility of dismissal from the trial, a link between the Watergate incident and the attack at the office of Elisberg's psychiatrist.
—Kansas Sen. Robert Dole, former Republican national chairman, said on ABC's "laws and Answers Sunday that the Watergate scandal had damaged President Nixon's credibility, but, he said, "I don't think it is fatal. Much depends on what happens as the facts come out about Watergate."
City Fund Issue Lingers
The Lawrence City Commission's next move in planning the allocation of general revenue sharing funds will be a meeting this week with the Douglas County Commission. The commission rejected five funding requests in a meeting Friday.
At a commission meeting April 24, 17
applicants spoke in support of $50,000.
The agreement cost $50,000.
The commission hopes to devote approximately $100,000, or about 10 per cent of joint city-county funds available, to the "people programs."

Friday's meeting was attended by the commissioners, City Manager Buford Watson, Assistant City Manager Dennis Pecoran, Pecuran, City United Fund chairman.
The five requests turned down by the city commissioners Friday afternoon were from the following organizations: the University of Wisconsin; the Wisconsin State Association, the Summer Career Ex-
The commissioners' discussion focused upon the responsibilities of city government, local charities and points ofMapping interest between city and county.
The County Commissioners had been invited to attend, but will instead meet with the Chief Justice.
The requests denied Friday constitute about $47,500.

Until a couple of centuries ago, the average age limit was 55 in all countries of the world. The end result of the biological revolution has been that there are now equal numbers of women and men in industrial countries until age 50.
The classic pyramid of growth in poor countries and in all countries until 50 to 60 years ago was one of many children, few middle-aged women because of death during childbirth and very few older persons. Piel said.
Piel said the death rate had not been reduced in the poverty countries of the world and their growth patterns still followed the classic pattern.

Library 'Dim-Out' To Emphasize Cuts
The University of Kansas libraries will dim their lights at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, joining other libraries across the nation in observance of reduced federal support for libraries.
During the "dim-out," library personnel will conduct business by candlelight to help increase public awareness of the libraries' special campaign sponsored by the American Library Association entitled "Dimming the Lights on the Public's Right."
According to David Heron, director of the KU libraries, the lights will be turned off for five minutes at the main service desks and main service areas in Watson Library, the library and all the KU branch libraries. The lights in the stacks will not be dimmed.
On Tuesday, brochures will be distributed to KU library patrons explaining the purpose of the "dim out" and discussing the plight of libraries across the country.
Industrial development and increased technology enable the population to live in poor countries. Poverty is a major problem.
"We can be assured their birth rate will follow ears as they follow us into the in-
Piel said a one per cent change in the international distribution of the gross national product would speed third world countries into the industrial revolution.
The recent impounding of government funds frustrates ecologists, Piel said. Pollution in poorer countries is lethal. Here there are solutions to it through technological means, but implementing these solutions is a political game, he said.
"Twenty per cent of our society lives on five per cent of the national income, while the top five per cent lives on 20 per cent of the national income," he said.
Pile said those 20 per cent living below the poverty level could be brought above that level either by doubling the gross national income or by reducing inequality in our society.
The material well-being of the lower 20 per cent would double if inquests were dismissed. It could be passed on to Ploy.
Piel said Americans had a moral obligation to do away with inqueilities and solve environmental problems because they had the physical capacity to do so.

Instead, CBS Laboratories, the industry's highest standard, tests each HIll product and writes a technical performance report which is then made available to HIll dealers. From the dealer copy of these reports we ask how well the performance is performed on our equipment and compare that with our performance reports are made under controlled, independent, and highly-reproducible conditions. You will find HIll's overall performance superior, not on the basis of advertising graphs or claims, but on the basis of results.
WHICH ADVERTISING CAMPS CAN YOU BELIEVELY Advertising in the stereo box is extremely difficult. We must be able to present our advertisement correctly, control of advertising claims and to establish our authenticity in this area, the Hill Speaker Company has been successful with its advertising campaigns.
Looking closely at the loudspeaker business especially, a considerable discrepancy arises between what is generally advertised by the loudspeaker industry and what can be measured in a laboratory or experienced in real-world applications. For example, the noise levels in a considerable proportion of production buildings and engineering departments, and capable of meeting publication specifications. Desiring to be independent from corporate control, the INDEPENDENT laboratories report rather than its own engineering data or advertising claims. It is our aim to ensure that all relevant information is provided.
