Kidnapers Still Holding U.S. Diplomat
GUADALAJARA, Mexico (AP)—Mexico fulfilled its bargain with guerrilla kidnappers Sunday by flying 30 freed prisoners safely to Cuba.
But, later, officials said the guerrillas had issued more demands to be met before they would release the U.S. consul general, Terrance G. Leonhardy.
"The situation has become extremely complicated. There are new demands," said Alberto Orozco Romero, governor of Jalisco state. He did not specify the
A short time before, Romero had received a note—apparently from Leonhardy—saying the diplomat was in good health and unbarmed.
Another message, by telephone, was received by Mrs. Leonhardy moments after a Cuban Embassy official announced on Wednesday that four prisoners had arrived safely in Havana.
A Mexican air force plane fell the 30 guerrillas and terrorists released from seven widespread jails to Havana Sunday morning as the kidnappers had demanded.
The kidnappers had promised to release Leonhardy after the television announcement was made. Romero said Mrs. Leonhardy quoted the telephone caller as saying: "You will await instructions at this time, and I will give you these instructions later."
That was the first time the diplomat's wife had heard anything directly from the kidnappers since her husband was abducted Friday afternoon.
Jorge Reyes Vega, first secretary of the Cuban Embassy, met the final demand by announcing the prisoners' safe arrival on a nationwide radio and television hookup. The kidnappers pledged they would free Leonhardy after such a broadcast.
President Luis Escheverria had ordered the government to meet all demands in this month's budget.
Leonhardy, 58, was seized near his suburban home by a revolutionary guerrilla

Vote to Test Organization Funding
Kansan Staff Writer
By GEORGE STEWART
Warner Staff Writer
The acceptability of the Student Senate's proposed funding for organizations and school councils will be tested in a student referendum Tuesday.
The referendum is being conducted in response to a petition submitted to the senate by the Coalition of Concerned Student Organizations, a group of 12 campus organizations dissatisfied with the senate's allocations.
The validity of the referendum has been questioned by Charles Oldfather, professor of law and University attorney. In response to an inquiry by Mert Buckley, Wichita junior and student body president, Oldfather told us that he would provide for a referendum and the results of our student vote such as this would not be considered valid.
Although Oldfather's statement was merely a legal opinion and not binding on the senate, it is doubtful that the results of Tuesday's vote will have any effect on the budget as originally approved by the senate and subsequently approved by the chancellor.
Speaking at the senate meeting Thursday, Buckley said he thought the senate was wasting its time considering the referendum because regardless of the outcome, the
University administration would declare the vote invalid.
A spokeswoman for the Coalition of Concerned Student Organizations said Thursday that the coalition was not really very interested in having the referendum. He said their main interest was in obtaining赞助 for the organizations in the coalition.
The interest of the coalition members was reflected in a proposed opinion poll presented to the senate Thursday. The poll would have asked for students' opinions on raising the activity fee by $1 for the fall and winter, and 20 cents for the summer session. Severity-per per cent this increase have been allocated to coalition members.
If the referendum indicates that the student body disapproves of the proposed allocations in the senate budget and the student body are accepted, a new legal question is posed.
Some further interpretation of the senate rules will be required before any further amendments to the constitution can take place.
The senate rejected this proposal by a vote 28 to 22 with 2 senators abstaining. This rejection came despite Oldfather's opinion on the validity of a referendum and the action of the spokesman for the coalition concerning the interest of coalfusion members.
senate has to reconsider the budget, it is doubtful that the action can be completed in time for consideration of the budget by the Kansas Board of Regents this month.

State law requires that the budget be reviewed and approved by the regents before the start of the fiscal year. This month's meeting is the final meeting scheduled before the new fiscal year begins.
John Ziegelmeyer, Shawnee Mission junior and chairman of the Elections Committee, said the polling places would be set up in the lobby of Strong Hall, the main lobby of the Kansas Union and on the second floor. The opening will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Wollmann said that he hoped to provide "the highest quality of service and optimum use of available resources."
The new director said he would try to be responsive to the students and would be able to adapt his teaching style.
"It may be desirable to extend the center's facilities to dependents of students as well as students." Wollmann said. "But we must ask ourselves, 'Are the resources there? Will this be achieved only at the expense of something else?' Are there

The new director said that his relative youth could be an asset and that he was looking forward to returning to Kansas, "more in tune with the spirit of the people."
Wollmann said that he viewed birth control as a proper function of a student health service. He called it "just another health problem" and said such decisions should be the focus of treatment and the physician, "whether in a student health service or in a private office."
He was selected from a list of nominees prepared by an ad hoc search committee led by James Rosser, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs.
Students Make Job Bright for Schwegler
By JOHN P. DONICA Kansan Staff Writer
Dr. Raymond Schlegler Jr., the outgoing director of health services at Watkins Memorial Hospital at the University of Kansas, likes students.
They have been the brightest spot in the years he has served at KU, both as prac-
trendsetter and an educator.
"They are bright, intelligent, ingenious and sometimes even devious, but they are the reason I have enjoyed myself here," Schwegler said in a recent interview. "For the most part, they are cheerful and pleasant as well."
Dr. Raymond Schwegler
Schweger, who joined the Watkins staff in 1958, has been director since 1963. A specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, he has been in the Lawrence area since 1935.
"One thing that makes a tremendous difference is the fact that very few Wattkins patients ever die. Most patients recover within 24 hours that terminal cases are hard on doctors."
After stepping down from his present post, Schweger said, he will continue to practice his specialty with a staff position at the hospital and later at the new student health center.
His successor, he said, will face the same primary problem that has plagued him as health director—money or more access problems, or both; his problems, he says, revolve around salaries.
"The state tells us that everybody on the staff must get a five per cent raise, but they forget that they are not financing this program. Students from student fees only." Schweizer said.
Increases in costs of materials have accounted for part of the budget increases through the years, he said, but they have not been a major factor. Materials are presently increasing at a rate of about two per cent each year. Schwegler said.
The increases in salaries this year over last have meant an additional $150,000 in annual wages.
four, too, has been a major factor in rising costs. In 1958, the year Schweiger became a staff member at Watkins, the cost of one patient's meal was approximately 39 cents. Today, that figure is about 60 cents, Schweier said.
Time and Newsweek gave slightly different accounts, but both said Nikon's purported remarks came in a meeting with the department, Dean and another top White House office.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation's two largest weekly news magazines say ousted White House Counsel John Dean III is prepared to testify that Presidentixon personally congratulated him last September on his involvement in the Watergate incident.

was in the Oval Office with Dean and White House chair of staff H. R. "Bob" Haldenman when the President said. "Good job, John. Bob told me what a great job you've been."
Time's version said Nixon, Dean and the President's former domestic-affairs adviser, John D. Ehrlichman, were present in Washington to tell me we've been doing fine work."
Neither magazine, in announcing the stories would be forthcoming, identified its
However, one legal source who has been close to the Watergate case, said the "idubits" Dean reportedly gave government investigators were used as bait in an effort to win the 34-year-old lawyer immunity from prosecution. Dean has told them he was being prosecuted, including White House documents, to substantiate his claims, the source said.
The documents presumably are the 43 page volume and eight supporting papers of the 1967 study.

Fate of Faculty Pav Hikes Rests with Legislature
Kansan Staff Writer
By DIANE YEAMANS
The future looks bright for University of Kansas faculty members since the Kansas Board of Regents recently adopted a policy that barrings by 10 per cent a year for three years.
However, if the program is not passed by the legislature, Grant Goodman, president of the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AUAP), said recently, faculty discontent will "re-emerge in new and sharper form."
In recent years, faculty discontent with salaries has risen more sharply than the salaries in previous years.
The KU AUP released a survey last week that confirmed what everyone already extremely dissatisfied with their present pension. Eighty-three per cent of the 200 randomly responded responses said they would go to a university institution for a sufficient salary increase.
session, KU faculty members received no salary increase. Since that time, increases of five per year in 1971-72 and this year and 5.5 per cent for next year have taken place.
THE CAUSE OF THE DISSatisfaction is familiar. In the 1971 Kansas legislative
The AAUP survey shows that the KU faculty's future actions to improve their economic status depend almost entirely on the action taken next year by the state legislature on the regents' salary increase program.
THE REGENTS PROPOSED increase is reasonable in the opinion of most faculty members. The AAUP survey showed that faculty members considered salary increases of 11 per cent for the entire faculty and 24 per cent for themselves appropriate for 1974-75.
However, the chances of the regents' proposal being adopted are not yet known. Max Bickford, executive secretary of the Bainbridge Republican convention, adoption of the proposal depends upon the future economic conditions of the state. The economy of the state has improved in recent years, as have the legislators' attitudes and public confidence in benefits for adoption seem better, he said.
survey indicates. Fifty-four per cent said a 10 to 29 per cent salary increase would be sufficient to draw them from KU to a comparable institution.
The total proposed increase of 30 per cent over a three-year period also would keep the cost of the scheme under control.
JOHN CONARD, director of University Relations and former speaker of the Kansas House, said the amount of the increase might be compromised, although the legislature was aware that the faculty needed help.
The regents are "wise to make a pitch for a three-year program," he said, "because the governor and legislature are likely to make changes."
Conard also said the acceptance of the program would depend upon the amount of
federal revenue sharing the state would receive and a strong state economy.
But Goodman said recently that the faculty was taking a "wait and see" attitude. Of course, the faculty members hope the proposal is accepted, he said, "but the problems in the past have caused many of us to be pessimistic about the possibilities."
"IN MY OWN OPINION," Goodman said, "pressure will be lessened in direct proportion to the delivery of the 10 per cent increase."

Another AAUP survey taken last spring indicated that about 60 per cent of the faculty responding favored some form of collective bargaining.

BUT FOR THE FACULTY to be satisfied,
as said, they must be a substantial improvement.
Another lobbying effort was initiated Saturday in Topeka when representatives from 15 Kansas institutions of higher education organize the Kansas Society of Professors.
Bickford said that the regents had not discussed collective bargaining as a group but that each member was aware of the effect of collective bargaining from watching other institutions. The regents have not adopted a policy for or against unions, and because unions are legal the board is not trying to keep them from forming.
UNTIL NOW, BERRY said, there has been no formal organization for four-year university and college faculty members for a statewide lobbving effort.
The Kansas Society of Professors will join forces with the Kansas chapter of the National Faculty Association for Junior-Community Colleges, an association for two-year college faculty members, he said, and the Kansas Higher Education Association.
The association will hire a full-time executive director, he said, who will be the main laborist for higher education and faculty members in Topeka.
A more forceful statewide lobbying effort is needed to persuade the legislature to increase faculty salaries, Berry said. The Kansas State of Professors and Higher Education Association will be able to draw on many resources of their national
