Birds, Orchids Balfour's Hobbies
By RON SCHLOERB
Kansan Staff Writer
Although its the season to watch birds and to grow orchids, William Baird, voicing his love for nature, is a University of Kansas, finds little time to spend on either of two activities that have a good impact.
Balfour has his interests stemmed from parental guidance. His parents operated a small greenhouse where he learned about plant growth and the effects of growth as light, temperature and humidity.
To start his own greenhouse, Balfour first planted vegetables and flowers commonly found in local florist shops. He said that he had been working with him rather than him running it, though.
BALFOUR DECIDED THAT the greenhouse defeated the purpose of a

"I am very disappointed that because of this delay in the election I can't carry through with one of my main projects," he said. "I wanted to improve the intern jobs for the summer that could lead to jobs after graduation."
Neumstur he was concerned with the direction in which KU was heading. He said he wanted to see students involved in the campus events, such as campus expedition.
"The issue isn't the past," he said. "It concerns the ways are now."
Neumston said he was very disappointed in decision and action of the University.
"Murfin had a right to a trial but my witnesses and I think that the election results should have been released after the voting," he said.
Neustrom's witnesses at the hearing were Sterling Hall, Sublette sophomore, and member of the Student Elections Committee; Robert Duncan, Wilhelm II., committee chairman; David Dillon, Committee chairman; and Dave Dillon, Senate president and Hutchinson senior.
Neustrom said he expected only half the number of voters that voted before to vote.
News Briefs By the Associated Press Food Prices
WASHINGTON - Sparked by a 6.8 percent hike in the prices farmers receive, the Agriculture Department's market basket cost rose another $40 in March, statistics show. The department said the cost of its market basket—eugh U. S. farm-produced food to feed a theoretical family of 3.2 people for a year—rose 3.5 percent, from $1,409 in February to $1,748, according a 2.7 percent hike in January and a 2.5 percent increase in February.
Supreme Court
WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court Monday agreed to examine the constitutionality of rules that force women off the job solely because they are pregnant. The issue reached the high court in two cases from the classroom. The Cleveland city schools appealed a ruling of the U.S. court to ban a ban on teachers more than five months pregnant "clearly arbitrary and unreasonable."
Cambodia
SAIGON—A river convoy carrying fuel and food made it to Cambodia's capital Monday despite three enemy ambushes in which one crewman was killed and three others wounded. At the same time, the Cambodian military command in Phnom Penh and the government forces had retaken a position above the river, retaking 10 miles south of the capital, in the continuing fight to reopen road links with the rest of the nation.
NEW YORK—Henry Kissinger, President Nixon's foreign policy adviser, said Monday the North Vietnamese had violated the Paris peace agreement. The problem the United States faces as a nation today, Kissinger said at the annual Associated Press membership meeting, is that the agreement, in agreement should simply be treated as an emergency.
"We have been very disappointed with the compliance by the North Vietnamese with the document."

... University business is not his only concern ...
A political science conference on the role of political elites and social stratification in the Communist states of East-Central China will be held in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
Communist Europe Topic Of Poli Sci Conference
The conference, sponsored by a grant from the American Council of Learned Societies, was organized by of Jarosław Kaczynski, associate professor of political science.
Piekalkiewicz said that 14 specialists on Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland and Romania, would discuss various Communist countries.
"The Communist society is based on classlessness," he said, "It believes that the Communist party is the leading cohesive political unit within the society.
"However, industrialization has created a social stratification and a new type of political elite that makes or influences political decisions. Both of these concepts are the basis of the Communist philosophy. This is the question the conference intends to examine."
The conference is not open to the public, all interested faculty are invited to attend.

STUDENTS FOR STUDY OF ATTITUDES TOWARD CURRENT ISSUES
Balfour said, he finds the aid of a former student in the invaluable upkeep of the orchids. David Patton, Independence, Mo., co-founder of a student in Balfour's physiology class, speaks at Balfour's
Balfour said he was interested in orchids to their aesthetic value. A constant supply of water is necessary, and corsal corsage for social occasions are reward enough for the effort, he said. He enjoyed the scent produced by many plants and flowers, the scent is often produced only at night.
AS A MEMBER of the Kansas and American Orchid Society, Balfour is able to inform informed of current news on the scientific aspects of orchid growing. More than 20,000 different species in existence and thousands of hybrids and cross-breeds.
Balfour has also developed his interest in bird watching into a weekend and vacation hobby. Birds of Africa, Arizona and Hawaii have been his most recent subjects.
Balfour said that his mother pointed out birds to him when he was young but that he did not become seriously interested in them until 1957, the year he came to KU.
The most accomplished bird watcher in his family, Balfour said, is his youngest daughter. His wife also enjoys watching birds and growing orchids.
BOTH HOBBIES have led to another hobby, photography. Balfour said his travels produced a desire in him to film some of his experiences.
His photographic techniques have been limited simplistic methods. Balfour said,

the state and to promote the interest of the senior class.
He listed open voting for the HOPE Award, re-designing the system of student participation. The class card holders, greater student participation in the selection of concert artists and the initiation of travel programs for these measures in the interest of the senior class.
"I feel the senior class president needs to work on and off campus to improve relations within the university and outside of the university." Murfin said.
A good image of the university would aid
both the senior seeking a job and the
undergraduate.
Murfin suggested off-campus relations could be improved by increasing the activity and leadership in the Concerned Students Committee.
A senior class bulletin distributed on campus and in living groups and listing activities and social events of interest to the group, could improve on-campus relations.
