Coalition Demands Funds
By GEORGE STEWART Kansan Staff Writer
The Coalition of Concerned Student Organizations, a group representing 12 campus organizations, appeared before the Student Senate Wednesday to demand specific fund allocations for its member clubs.
Mickey Dean, Sandersville, Ga., junior and spokesman for the coalition told the senators if they failed to approve the coalition's demands, the group would resort to the type of activities which characterized campaigns during the 1980-1970 unrest. He said that the committee was to illustrate the dependency of these organizations on senate funds.
Organizations represented by the coalition are the Black Student Union, Blacktack, Supportive Educational Services, Arab Student Organization, Iranian Students Association, Latin American Students, KUTYT Action Committee, International Club, KU Media Club, Haymaker, KU Friends of the Farmworkers and the Association of Mexican-American Students.
Dean said the 12 organizations had reconsidered their budgets requests and would require $38,241 in funds to maintain operations next year. The original requests made by these organizations was in excess of $74,000.
He said failure of the senate to meet these requests would indicate that racism, discrimination and repression were a part
of the philosophy of the University and its student government.
In addition, he said, the senate must consider the request of the coalition as a package and must allocate the exact number of senators to the members would not accept the senate action.
The senate voted not to accept the demands of the coalition but rather to consider the budget based on the original fund requests.
In action on the budget, the senate approved an amendment to the funding procedure that would combine the funds allotted to organizations and councils into one fund. This fund would be used to finance activities of qualified campus groups.
Also approved were the allocations recommended for Intercollegiate Athletics, the Daily Kansan, University Theatre, Concert Course and Intraural Sports.
A motion to accept the complete budget was defeated and the senate then voted to consider the Finance and Auditing Commissions, organization by organization.
After approximately three hours of debate, the senate established the procedures to be followed for the consideration of the budget. When the meeting recessed at 12:45 a.m. today, only two organizations had been considered.
The recommended allocations for the BSU were amended to delete $2,770. This left the recommended allocations for the group at $860.
The senate made no change in the
International Club Splits Over Control, Funding
The International Club, whose purpose was to unify all students at the University of Kansas, has become fragmented in a bitter internal power struggle.
Charging a conspiracy by Arab students to gain control of the International Club, their former groups, announced their secession from the Student Senate Tuesday night at the Student Senate meeting.
Zahorah Ahmad, Singapore graduate student and secretary of the Southeast Asian Student Association, said no officer in the country had denied full funding to the International Club.
An anonymous representative or the African Club said that only after signing the petition to withdraw from the International University, he was being used as a political pawn by the group seeking withdrawal. The representative said pressure had been exerted by the Coalition of Concerned Students to delete the African Club from the list of withdrawals.
Rick McKernan, Salina junior and chairman of the Finance and Auditing Committee, also advised the senate that three groups—KU Bands, Omsbudman and Sierra Club—could not be funded because they failed to qualify as student organizations. He said these groups had a necessary statement with the vice chancellor at Sierra College. A group cannot qualify as a student organization without this statement.
Their names from the petition were the Southeast Asian Student Association and the University of Chicago.
recommended allocations for the Black American Law Students Association.
The coalition is composed of 12 campus organizations, including the Black Student Union, Arab Student Organization, Iranian Student Association and the International Club. These groups are seeking a block allocation of $38,241.
At one point Wednesday night, a dispute between members of the Arab and Israeli factions ended in a short fight between two of the members.
Deliberation on the budget will continue when the senate recréves at 6:30 tonight. The meeting will be in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union.
The representative said countries of minority status in the club had discovered that the Arab students intended to pursue solely their own political goals.
An anonymous representative from the seceding groups said that for several years the Arab students had successfully gained cover over the policies of the International Club.
Originally, nine international groups had signed a petition asking the senate to fund them individually instead of indirectly through the International Club.
Aide Says Mitchell, Dean OKd Watergate
Groups signing the petition to deny the International Club full funding were the International European Club, Korean Club, Japanese Club, Indian Club. The two groups that removed
WASHINGTON (AP) — A one-time toplevel Nixon aide now says that former Atta. Gen. John Mitchell and White House counsel John Dean III approved and helped the Watergate bugging incident, the Washington Post reported Wednesday night.
The allegation was made by Jeb Sturt马格runder to the prosecutors last week in the Toward said.
The story was attributed to sources in the White House and the Committee for the Reelection of the President. Magruder was a White House deputy to White House chief of staff H. R. Haldeman and later was deputy chairman of the President's re-election committee.
The Post story said that Haldeman also may resign as a result of the Watergate disclosures, but, the paper pointed out, he has been linked in connection with any criminal involvement.
The Times said the action "was reported to have been taken so that he would not be in the position of having to prosecute" present at the graduation institution colleagues who might be indicted.
Magruder, Dean and Mitchell could not be reached for comment.
Meanwhile, the New York Times quoted sources as having said that Atty. Gen. Richard Kleindienst had disqualified himself from the case.
The Times quoted Mitchell as having called Kleindienst's action "entirely appropriate and correct" because of the attorney general's past associations.
Asked about the Post story, Gerald Warren, deputy press secretary, said: "The White House is not prepared to react to a story based on sources. At a time when the president could not be jeopardized by a comment an appropriate comment will be made."
Magruder now is director of policy planning for the Commerce Department. The Post quoted one source as having said that when he saw the felt the walls were coming in on him."
Magruder, according to the paper, will testify today before the grand jury in connection with the case.
Magruder, according to the Post, would not be granted immunity from prosecution, but hoped to receive some sort of favorable treatment.
The Post story quoted one source as having said that Mitchell and Dean had arranged to buy the silence of the seven convicted Wateterate consummators.
The story was published as the grand jury continued its probe amid unconfirmed reports that more indictments would be made publicly for perjury and financial irregularities.
Gordon Strachan, a former aide to Haldenman, was seen for the second straight day in the office of federal prosecutor Earl Silbert. Strachan wouldn't discuss the charges against him. But he accused him of helping set up a political espionage ring for the Nixon campaign.
The Senate source said he had heart the indictments would include charges of perjury, both at the Watergate trial and in connection with an illegal handling of Nixon's campaign funds.
The grand jury also subpoenaed Frederick LaRue, who held a high place in President Nixon's re-election campaign. News reports have quoted investigative sources as having said he helped direct a scheme the breakin and wristwrapping at Democratic national headquarters last year and handled $70,000 in unreported campaign money.
Reports of impending indictments came from various sources. A source close to the Senate's special Watergate investigating committee quoted sources within the Department as having said about eight persons probably would be indicted soon.
Those reportedly facing incumbre include present and former members of the House staff and the Nixon campaign, the source said. This report could not be confirmed.
The Washington Star-News quoted a Justice Department official as having predicted major new indictments. Justice Department spokesman John Hushen said he knew of no indictions being written, but, said, "I'm sure that anybody could predict that something is up by what the President said Tuesday night."
Nixon, saying he considered no administration official exempt from the arrest, said that would suspend anyone indicted and fire anyone convicted. The President also

Senior Class Election Rescheduled
Kansan Staff Writer
By GEORGE STEWART
The decision was announced Wednesday by Jess McNish, adjunct professor of business and chairman of the Judiciary.
The University Judiciary has ruled that the March 14-15 senior class presidential election results were invalid and ordered that the election be rescheduled.
On April 3, Pat Neustrom, Salina junior, filed a motion in intervention of Murfin's action. The motion asked the Judiciary to deny the injunction requested by Murfin and sought the certification and release of the election results.
At the request of Murfin, the Judiciary issued an injunction withholding the results of the election from the public, pending a review of Murfin's complaint.
A run-off election between Dave Murfin, Wichita junior, and Pat Neustrom, Salina junior, will be held Wednesday and Thursday, according to John Zieglemeyer, Shawne Mission sophomore and chairman of the Student Senate Elections Committee.
Poll will be in the same places as the last election and will be open during the day and again at night, Zieglemeyer said.
McNish said the rescheduled election would involve only Murfin and Neutrom. The Judiciary did not consider any other election categories during the hearings. McNish said no other senior class presidential candidates would be placed on the ballots for the new election.
The election had been contested by Martin because his name was misspelled on the ballots. His name appeared as "Martin" on the ballots.
McNish said that the case was a close question and that the final decision had been very difficult for the court to make.
McNish, Robert Stump, professor of physics and astronomy, and Elizabeth Gutierez, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student, heard the case.
Neustrum she thought Murfin had a right to a fair trial and now he hoped they could get more people out to vote in the new election.
A reminder letter will be sent to all juniors, Zieglemeyer said.
Murfin said it was unfortunate that the case took so long to be processed by the
Judiaryci. He said that all the campaign efforts he and Neustrom made were lost and that they would now have to start all over again.
Both candidates agreed not to conduct an extensive campaign for the new election. In a meeting after the decision was announced, they decided that there would be no additional expenditures in the campaign and that no posters, handouts or mailings would be used.
The election committee will use printed ballots and the results of a hand count should be available Thursday night, Zieglemeyer said.
Treasury Secretary George Shultz, the President's principal energy adviser, told newsmen at a White House briefing that energy costs would have to rise but that Nixon's proposals and actions would tend to restrain those price increases.
"From the standpoint of the consumer," Shulzt said, "if all of these proposals are adopted, he and she will have more energy than they would if the proposals were not adopted."
Nixon, using presidential authority, removed present limits on oil imports and eliminated present tariffs on oil imports, effective next May 1), and replaced them with a system of import fees to be phased in over the next seven years.
Oil imports, now allocated under a quota system that began in 1959, will continue to be allowed at the levels set for 1973, free of any fee payment.
But the level of no-fee imports will be gradually reduced until all oil imports are reached.
Imports above the no-fee levels will require fee payments depending on the type of import, with a higher fee on refined products than on crude oil.
To stimulate lagging construction of refineries in the United States, a major cause of the recent shortages of fuel oil, diesel oil and gasoline, refinery capacity is entitled to an allowance of no-dee imports for the first five years after construction.
The import measures were not expected See OIL, Page 7

The three dissenting board members were Kenneth Anderson, Julie Hack and Larry Hatfield. All three said after the vote that they would give Tate their full support.
"I didn't vote against Tate," Hack said. "I voted more for Max Rife. He's been doing a fine job."

Tate will receive a salary of $18.500.
