By DWIGHT DEAY
Kansan Staff Writer
The right of residence hall students to assume sole authority over their own activity fees and to exert more influence in hall policy decisions will be decided by the Student Council. Cindy Steiniger, Kansas City, Kan., junior and chairman of the Student Executive Committee, submitted two letters to Nichols Thursday for his approval.

One bill would attach a major amendment to article 14 of the Code of Student Rights, the "Right to Education."
Bill O'Neil, Ballwin, Mo., senior, and original author of the bill, said that the bill would transfer the $3 a student now going to the housing board, to the individual
residence hall councils.
O'NEILL SAID that early in 1972 David Miller, 1971-72 student body president, expressed his concern about the rights of students who accuse halls to regulate their own social fees.
The $3, would be taken from an annual $18
cash fee paid each member of a group.
The $1, would be taken from an annual $18
O'Neill said that the decision to transfer the funds to hall council was not based on any wrongdoing on the part of the Housing Board in handling the activity fees.
"We thought that the principle of students allocating their own funds should be enforced and clarified within the Code of Ethics for responsibilities and Conduct," O'Neill said.

Officials at the Cooperative Farm Chemicals Association plant east of Lawrence say they expect no major reduction in yields due to addition of a new urea fertilizer operation.
Co-op Says Expansion Won't Cause Problems
Gene Comeau, pollution control engineer at the plant, said recently that use of the latest technology in the production process should prevent the expansion from adding to problems the plant had experienced with emission control.
The addition of the urea plant was announced last Thursday by CFCA officials, who expect completion of the $7 million project by early 1974.
The ammonia then will be removed by a steam stripping process.
The new urea plant will have a production capacity of 600 tons a day and is being constructed to produce animal feed and fertilizer-grade solid urea.
Wet scrubbers will clean the air of urea particles by impacting the air stream against water, which will collect the particles. Comeau said.
Two processes will be incorporated in the urea operation to remove pollutants from air and water used in the feed and fertilizer production. Comeau said.
KU Space Center to Receive $100,000 NASA Research Grant
Corneau said that he had no breakdown of the total cost of the project to show how much was being invested in anti-pollution efforts. He said that it would be necessary to keep potential pollution to a minimum.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced Thursday that at $100,000 research grant would be given to the University of Kansas.
According to Sen. James Pearson R-Kan,
and Sen Bole Dole, R-Kas, the grant will enable the University to analyze satellite data and help solve the problems of environment and land use.
B. G. Barr, director of the Space Technology Center at KU, said the Center was very pleased and surprised to receive the grant so soon.
Policy Center To Be Set Up
A Center for Public Policy will be established at the University of Kansas Law Library by the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research.
The American Enterprise Institute is a publicly supported, nonpartisan research and educational organization in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1943 to assist the nation's legislators and educational leaders by studying types of important national policy issues.
Susan Sagton, author and film director, will lecture on "The Author and the Writer" at 8 p.m. Monday in Wooldruff Auditorium. Sontag is the author of two novels, "The Benefactor" and "Death Kit." She also wrote the film "Duet for Camu" in 1970).
Bernard Reams Jr., assistant professor of law and law librarian, announced the establishment at the center at KU. He said a number of publications would be provided by the center.
Sontag to Speak On Writers, Authors
In addition to her lecture, Sontag will talk with students Monday and Tuesday.
"We submitted a proposal six weeks ago, and it usually takes from four to six months to complete."
Barr said members of the Space Technology Center recently attended a governor's conference at which the center's accomplishments were approved. Barr also said the center had received a good response from state agencies.
"In a way, the grant is a recognition for doing such a good job," said Barr.
The NASA announcement said that an analysis of land use in Douglas County, an examination of Kansas wheat for disease and a study of land usage in Wyandotte County for help in urban planning would be covered in the research project.
IF THE BILL is approved by the Chancellor, the residence halls will retain $14 and allocate $1 per resident to the Association of Residence Halls (AURH), O'Neill said.
occurred were because the board kept all the different halls fees in a common account. Since there were no separate accounts, the staff would have used more funds than others." O'Neill said.
The hall activity fee amendment was accompanied by a bill that would authorize a special joint subcommittee to study clauses in the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct in reference to University housing.
IFC Meeting
The University of Kansas Inter-fraternity Council (IFC) will present "Focus on Fraternities" at 2 p.m. Sunday at Holiday Inn in Shawnee Mission.
The IFC has invited 500 high school seniors from the Kansas City area and their peers.
Jim Brooks, assistant dean of men, and other University officials will speak. Each KU fraternity will have two or three representatives at the meeting.
O'Neill said that controversy originating in Ellsworth Hall last year over closing hours and co-ed floors had prompted him to suggest a review of the code.
"The code had been in existence since the formation of the Senate during the 1969-70 school year and no amendments had yet been introduced." O'Neill said.
THE SUBCOMMITTEE, which includes the Committees of Housing, Student Rights and representatives from AUHR, would be given priority in determining student rights in policy decisions, Q'Neill said.
When the bill was passed in February of 1972, the subcommittee was expected to present the results of their study and propose amendments to the code by April 10, 1972. Rich Lauter, Evanston, Ill., junior counsel of the housing committee, said Wednesday.
Lauter resubmitted the bills to the senate in March of this year. The Senate once again passed the bills and now it is up to the senate to decide whether they should be implemented.
However, due to a rule now stricken from senate rules, the bills were declared void at *the time of the vote.*
