4 Thursday, May 3, 1973 University Daily Kansan KANSAN Editorials, columns and letters published on this page reflect only the opinions of the writers. Under New Management Archie Dykes will become the 13th Chancellor of the University of Kansas on July 1. He has my deepest sympathy. I realize that there are some who cannot bring themselves to pity him, because he is bringing on himself. This is a good point. Hill, I can't help feeling sorry for him. Dykes must work with the various departments of the University in an effort to secure enough funds so that each department can afford to support its deadweight. He must work personally with the deans, whose function it is to insure that organizations will continue to go forth and work with the organization is dependent upon the dean for its survival, and thus justifies that man's or that woman's presence on an already strained payroll. Since money is necessary to insure the continuation of the University, Dykes must go forth among the people of the state and convince them that they should be willing to pay higher taxes. If they pay higher taxes, the University can continue to expand the number of people on its payroll, based of their education qualifications. And he must do all of this, not with, but in spite of, help from the students. This is not an enviable position to be in. Luckily, Dykes still has an opportunity to escape, and maybe he will. If Dykes does go through with it, he will enjoy all of the prestige that can be derived from being the one. Work within the confines of a Working within the confines of a third rate University is certainly nothing to be ashamed of, except when so many members of the University community insist that it is a first rate University, which, I assure you, it is not. Why is it a third rate University? The people who allocate the funds for this institution are not satisfied with the things they see going on over here. This is due, in large part, to a preponderance of misinformation being circulated throughout the state. Dykes must organize a more effective public relations campaign. I hope Dykes is not allergic to dust, because chances are that the dust on the steam pipes running through Strong Hall is 20 years old. I also hope he doesn't like to take an occasional look out the windows, because they are never cleaned either. These observations are small in nature, but they reflect the pride of our university staff. Evidently, our maintenance personnel are not any more impressed with the University than I am. The point is that I am not satisfied with the things I see happening to this University. Luckily, I am graduating in three weeks and will not have to put up with it anymore. Those of you who must suffer the misfortune of staying share my worry about it. I wish you as you try to stay afloat amidst this mismanaged mayhem. I also hope that Dykes will do something to clean up this mess—like maybe a mass purge. John P. Bailey WASHINGTON—After bringing peace to Vietnam and Cambodia, Henry Kissinger is turning his attention and talents to the Middle East. He Watageer. In a speech the other day to the Associated Press, the celebrated doctor suggested that unless we give the White House mob a pass, foreign countries are going to have their doubts about him. He's right. If any more incriminating evidence is made public, the Moscow hot line will ring and it will be Leonid Breshevsky on the horn saying, "Laten, Mr. President," but stinky ones in my time—Remember Czechoslovakia?—but the Soviet Union isn't to do business with a bunch of wretapers. Take back your wheat, your Pepsi-Cola, and yourLenning Advis agency. Next, the Israeli ambassador will deliver a message from Golda Meir: "We don't want fighters planes from people who obstruct justice. Better to have the Arabs run into the sea." The cablegram from Mao Tse-tung will read: "SEND BACK PANDAS SOONEST" From Chile the word will come that President Allende, in an emergency speech to his congress, has declared that all copper mines, telephone companies and ITT property are going to be decommissioned on the ground they 'morally contaminated'. At the same time, Tokyo will close down its American Mazda dealerships and cancel future business. The Minister Tanaka will tell an outraged Japanese nation. "Hiroshima and Nagasaki are one thing, but an island full of them is another," he draw the line somewhere. Let 'em Too Dishonest for Other Nations Largesse and Watergate Readers Respond Nicholas von Hoffman Whatever the outcome of the investigations and purges of Watergate, there is an important message. Anybody who had anything to do with Republican politics last year knows that Republican governors and congressman has a very difficult time raising money for their campaigns because valuable money was being supposed up by the committee to Re-elect the President. The controlling principle is that people like to contribute money to winners but not to candidates who have closely contested races. A lot of money was lying Spare Change A lot of money was lying around, both literally and figuratively, at the headquarters of the Committee to Re-elect the President. When money is found, it finds something on which to spend it. Some of the effects were relatively benign. Once in a while, one has to bake off and reflect that the 1972 Watergate burglary—who intervened, and who was negligent in not uncovering the coverup—may not, after all, be up with Pearl Harbor and the Great Hurricane as a momentous national crisis. To the Editor: Breaking and entering and trespassing are not matters to be treated lightly. Action against the President is being taken in the courts. Derelictions by the President's staff are also not to be taken lightly. The President is probably the busiest man in the world. He has to keep him fully informed and to screen the people hired for the White House staff to eliminate any potential threats, he led on the raid on the Watergate. One but thing to do with surplus money is to create high-paying jobs for one's friends, and this is not a bad idea. I did. I seriously doubt that the President even knew Liddy and McCord, but somebody gave them important-sounding titles such as "Director" to justify their presence on the payroll. People who don't have much to do, and who may be shady characters trying to burglarize and bugging Democrat headquarters, for example, as excuses for tapping the organizational treasury. And why should how Watergate came about. Nixon's staff and his personal re-election organization are characterized by an absence of corporate politics. Nixon gravitates toward business lawyers and advertising professionals famously so—but who are not deeply imbued with the customs and ethics of competitive, profit-driven down the ladder, this bias led to ghetto kids. Have you ever read of a ghetto kid with 700,000 unaccounted-for dollars in the wall sale? The only bugs they have in the ghetto have six legs the kids are coming out of their foreheads. Kissinger is right. We must have compassion, and we must realize that punishment is not the answer; rehabilitation is. It's the least that we, the members of our team, know about them that way. So the next time you hear somebody say John Mitchell should go to jail, say, "No. Give him a chance. Give him a social worker, let him live in a slum and eat off food we try to right the wrong that's been done by men, and give them the same opportunities less fortunate Americans have, Mao Tse-tung will let us keep the pandas. the accumulation on the staff of old CIA operatives. Watergate makes one long for some good reasons. Watergate is reported on around the White House. The Republican National Committee was deliberately given a secondary role in the 1872 presidential election. Bob Dole of Kansas, apparently was eased out of the chairmanship after the election at the instigation of some of the members of the White House salute guard. Ottawa First-Year Law Student Professional politicians are a much-maligned group at times, but it is refreshing to hear elected officials demand, demotivated, demanding a speedy and thorough resolution of the questions surrounding the Watergate business. Maybe we need more leaders like servants and the process of electing our key officials more now that we have been made aware of some of the less politically involved. Leon B. Graves To the Editor: No Betraval Wateregate prosecutor Charles Morgan Jr. exercised poor judgment and was president Nixon will either be result of Wateregate injunction. Although in some areas Nixon has exercised poor judgment, he has been a hero for people as Morgan implies. His greatest wrong is in trusting the word of several close friends and having a fault a man for having trust. Who among us can say that we have never trusted the word of a friend and acted in accordance only to discover that we acted on behalf of us under the guidance of us understand Nixon's feeling of betrayal by friends and aides? (C) Washington Post-King Features Syndicate It is alleged that John Dean, John Mitchell and L. Patrick Gray among others have violated the laws of this land and have betrayed the trust of the American people. They have also failed to enforce the President. If the violation of law s'proven, they will be punished. Monday night Nixon accepted responsibility for the incident. He was able to make a ministration of all those implicated in the Watergate scandal. He appeared coast-to-coast at the rally, showing evidence of his sagging spirits. He has done what he can to recite the situation. Can, or cannot, But can we serve as judge, jury and hangman, as Morgan and the president for the actions of men he trusted? Yes, he perhaps has placed trust in unworthy men, but he has not compromised our authority. Larry Cook Meriden Sophomore No Protest In his letter to the Kansan April 24, 1973, Jim Cameron vented his hopes of small organizations setting some vague purpose to the average student (which) banded with the state senate finance committee decision to cut their funding" and asked the University of Kansas German Club as being among those "banded together in the interest of the common good."

Who can blame them if they associated with officers, corporate officers and presidential candidates?

Concerning Mike Tierney's letter of April 24, it seems that he is a very delicate person who was shocked by the behavior of one faculty member at the International Club Fair. However, Tierney even thought and was not "shocked" by anything else that occurred Compare their overadvantageged childhoods to the underadvantageged childhoods of Persons close to Kissinger say that the jailing of any high American government officials for accepting bribes, perjury, obstructing justice, or violating the Constitution profoundly affect the delicate balance in Cambodia that they might send a formal petition to Washington renouncing our help and asking that we stop bombing and destroying the background that the most skilled American diplomat since John Henry F.

Kathy Milhirde Member Associated Collegiate Press Congress Wants to Ease Job-Safety Requirements BY BROOKS JACKSON Associated Press Writer In case you were wondering, Ralph Zuben's electrical outlets aren't orange. And the federal government won't make him paint them. Nor will it force Zuber or any other employer to install split toilet seats or give up ice in drinking water. Still, Congress is in a mood to pull some teeth from the two-year-old job-safety act that supposedly was bothering Zuber and a lot of other small businessmen. Zuber is manager of a 15-man custom furniture shop in Amana, Iowa. In a recent national news story, he and other small businessmen were quoted as saying they were worried, perilously close to occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), OSHA, they felt, imposed regulations that were often expensive and petty. Zuber reportedly said, "I want to comply, but I've got to make a living. Did you know we've even had a lawyer? Are you going to grieve? Why? I, don't know." Griff and the Unicorn Zubur now says he can't remember saying that. Any way, there's no requirement that I have to be orange, or any other color. Furthermore, Zuber says, he supports the job-safety act, even though it's costing him around $20,000 to do such things as replace ungrounded electric hand tool, install emergency cut-off switches, and power machine machinery and install guards on power saw blades. "We needed something like this," he said. "But they have to use common sense. You can't do these things overnight." Like most other small businessmen, Zuber never has a visit from one of the Labor Department's 550 job-safety inspectors. With five million workplaces to inspect, chances are it would take them years to find an incident or employee safety complaint put him on the inspection list. Neverthalt, Congress is receiving howls from plenty of small businessmen who don't like JSAH. "It's just fear," says Herbert Liebenson, legislative vice president for the National Small Businessmen's Association. "They only hear the horror stories." He says a poll of his members shows they are more worried about OSHA than anything else, even taxes. Congress has the message. Last year it voted twice to exempt millions of small business owners from tax standards. But both times President Nixon vetoed the spending bill to which the exemption was attached as a result of all employers still are covered. This year few expect that Congress will approve an exemption again, but even OSHA's friends are willing to help. It would be against the law's old critics are pressing for nothing less than an extensive de-fanging, including an end to most mandatory fines and a promise that would divert many inspectors from providing our advice instead of fines. By Sokoloff Not all the criticism of OSHA is undeserved. Officials concede they blundered when, in their initial rush to get safety standards written, they adopted toilet seats and banning ice in drinking water. These have been rescinded. campu parkin the re Conc car, s system transp elimin campa "It said, histori dition "Tr actior IN I Raym precia exten and fo Su St And businessmen aren't the only ones with complaints about OSHA.

Of the 32,701 employers inspected last year, 29 per cent were found to have no violations, and the rest were assessed an average fine of $99. Employers contested only one fine in 20. Meanwhile, OSHA tries to concentrate its scanty resources on the most nettlelieu cases in the country, as per cent of its time to investigate fatal accidents, 15 per cent to investigating safety complaints by workers and 38 per cent to investigating hazardous industries. And in a year when the administration is trimming back many programs, OSHA plans to increase its budget to create its $86.7 million budget by another million. It plans to increase the number of inspections to 55,000 this year and 80,000 next. Perbaps Ralph Zuber's shop
