Senate Reviews Fund Requests
By GEORGE STEWART Kongan Staff Writer
Fund requests totaling $17,134 were reviewed Tuesday by the Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee in the seventh day of the annual budget hearings.
Tuesday's action by the committee brought the total for the requests reviewed to $234,004.58, which is approximately more than the funds available for allocations.
The latest budget estimate for the next fiscal year indicates that about $170,000 will be available for allocation to the operations appearing before the committee.
A request for $4,925 submitted by the Association of Mexican-American Students was the largest request considered Tuesday by the committee.
Antonio Cardona, Larnesa, Tex., junior and spokesman for the organization, said Wednesday that he was "very happy" with the team.
in the coming year, a Chicago Awareness
week and a special program to initiate
He said that $1,000 was requested for each of these programs and that approximately $1,200 was requested for recruitment of prospective students by the organization.
The KU Media Club requested $3,600 for its operations next year.
Gretchen Cotsworth, Lawrence sophomore, said the most important item in the Media Club request was a $2,000 for film rental. She said the films would present information and documentation on socially subject subjects such as race, sex and politics.
The Sierra Club requested an allocation of $2,075. Major items in this request were $500 for an environmental information library, $200 for the publication of a newsletter, $300 for advertisement of club projects and $300 for legal counsel.
In reference to the funds for legal counsel.
Ken Richards, Lawrence graduate student and Sierra Club president, said the club had received permission from the national board to prevent to prevent the channelization of Mud Creek.
The National Environmental Law Society, which shares an office with the Sierra Club, asked for an allocation of $1,125.
The final session of the budget hearings will begin at 3:00 tonight in the Oream Room of the Kansas Union. Eleven organizations will participate before the committee during this session.
Jerry Harper, Wichita second-year law student and spokesman for the group, said the organization was similar to the Sierra Club, but that the law society focused only on the legal aspects concerning the environment.

Jail Options Listed in Workshop
By BOB MARCOTTE Kansan Staff Writer
Representatives from the National Clearinghouse on Correctional Programming and Architecture (NCCPA) presented a variety of alternative programs for the correction system in Douglas County during a workshop Tuesday at the Ramada Inn.
The Douglas County commissioners and spokesman from the Citizens Committee on Correctional Services and Jail Facilities, whose survey was used by the clearinghouse to prepare its recommendations, were also present.
Reports from both the citizens committee and NCPCA representatives stressed a need to consider alternatives to actual incarceration in city and county jails.
Edith Flynn, NCCPA representative, urged the creation of community treatment programs to serve as alternatives to what were previously called "language" and waste of imprisonment.
"Jails usually only serve to increase crime because they are the perfect place for the exchange of criminal technology," Flynn said.
CITING THE LARGE number of persons imprisoned each year in Douglas County for liquor violations and disorderly behavior due to drunkenness, Flynn said it would be useful to understand which causes actually involved alcohols and those for treatment outside of the jail.
Flynn said she thought the judicial system was already burdened enough without the additional load of a basically psycho-medical problem like alcoholism.
According to Flynn, there have been generally fewer failures of appearance where a system of release by own recognition was being used.
Flynn urged the citizens' committee to consider development of job placement pograms for persons on probation or in pre-trial situations and the development of work-release programs for convicted individuals.
IN THIS SYSTEM, a defendant is release on his word of honor that he will appeal to the court.
available in the senate office Monday,
according to Rick McKernan, Salmier junior
governor.
The budget will be presented to the Student Senate on April 18.
Flynn criticized the present bail-bond system, calling it "a kind of business living off the poor." There are better systems available for insuring a defendant's appearance in court. Flynn said, citing the recognition system.
"Our primary goal next to punishment for deviance is to make sure that these people become self-sufficient. As soon as we can do that, we can be back asaks." Thus it is a very practical consideration.
On the subject of juvenile cases, Flynn said that the "most rock-bottom, non-negotiable recommendation is to keep them out of court."
PRUNING LESER CRIMES from the actual jail system would greatly reduce the size of required facilities, Flynn said. She asked the citizens committee to forward more information to the clearinghouse on how the new security plan is being detained in nails in Douglas County.
A system of fines or community services such as litter cleanup or hospital work could be used as alternative punishments for minor offenses, she said.
Chancellor Raymond Nichols has approved a University Council recommendation to eliminate the graduated security waiver and to increase the cost of parking permits.
Nichols OKs Overhaul Of Fines, Parking System
Nichols said Tuesday that he would submit a slightly altered version of the council's suggestion on traffic lines to the Board of Regents for final approval.
Under the present traffic-fine system,
there is no fine for the first violation. The
Nichols also announced that the new student health service director had been appointed and would be named as soon as he had cleared up some personal matters. Nichols said the new director would be a man.
News Briefs By the Associated Press German Protest
LOS ANGELES-Daniel Ellsberg appeared as a witness in his own defense for the first time Tuesday and later said he was confident he would be acquitted of espionage, conspiracy and theft charges once jurors understood why he copied the Pentagon papers. Ellsberg said he would be "lovely" today that his intention in copying the document came from Sen. J. William Fulbright, D-Arr, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, presumably hoping his plan would help end the Vietnam war.
Ellsberg Trial
WASHINGTON—Atty. Gen. Richard Kleindienst treads today under the constitutional separation of powers Congress could not compel anyone in the department to act against documents against the will of the president. At a hearing marked by sharply clashing views with Democratic senators, Kleindienst also predicted that any legislation would require that a president's assertion of executive privilege would be struck down by the courts.

Nixon Requests Trade Authority
BONN-Leftist, anti-U.S. demonstrators protesting a visit by Nguyen Van Thieu, wrecked Bonn's historic city hall tuesday shortly before Thieu, the South Vietnamese president, called on President Gastav Heinemann. Scores of demonstrators and 14 students took a 85-minute talk, Heinemann asked Thieu about treatment of political prisoners. Then left for political talks in South Korea and Formosa on his way back to Saigon.
second violation costs $2, and the cost of violations doubles until the fourth violation has been committed. Fines of $18 are assessed for all violations after the fourth one.
The new plan stipulates that fines be assessed according to the severity of the violation. Parking in the wrong zone, regardless of the number of tickets, would result in a fine of $ F. Forgiving or altering stickers would bring a $25 fine.
The Council had recommended that staff personnel be assessed the higher figure regardless of the type of zone. Nichols changed that recommendation. He said he would use a reason for staff members paying a higher rate than students using the same lots.
The recommended permit schedule would raise the price of permits in all zones $2.50. Prices would be $17.50 for residence hall staffers and $27.50 for all other zone stickers.
Flynn said there was a need to separate non-delinquents from delinquents in deciding juvenile detention in jails. Juveniles should not be detained, she said, but that would not be considered offenses by an adult, such as running away or truancy.
The new plan also would allow persons to pay their fines immediately to Traffic and Security. Fines would be compounded if they were not paid within 14 days.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Nixon asked Congress Tuesday for broad new trade negotiating authority that he said would significantly strengthen the country's bargaining position for world trade talks this fall.
THESE PROBLEMS are better dealt with in foster or group homes. FVlaid, said.
If alternate programs were made available to handle juveniles and minor offenders, NCCPA projected average jail populations for future years in Douglas County would be reduced, according to Flynn.
Flynn cautioned the citizens committee that it would be wrong to "pursue just a nice looking facility and think that's all you need to do."
A certain degree of commitment and toleration from the community would be required, Flynn said, to institute the kind of needed as alternatives to incarceration.
IT WOULD BE the responsibility or these programs to provide work-release programs, link* with educational and vocational training in maturity and psychiatric and medical facilities.
Flynum urged the committee to consider the type of multi-functional correction unit which would accommodate counseling space, recreation areas both indoors and outdoors, areas for religious services and family visits, and space to have as many of the community's correction agencies under one roof as possible.
The workshop was scheduled to reconvene at 10 a.m. today to consider archeological designs for a proposed Lawrence-Douglas County correction center.

He asked for new authority to negotiate on nontariff barriers to trade, such as import quotas, and to extend the most favored national clause on trade to the Soviet Union without advance approval. A most favorable national clause is by which a nation says it will grant to another nation in certain stipulated matters, the same terms as are then, or may be granted to any other nation. He also said that the United States should raise barriers against countries that unreasonably or unjustifiably restricted imports of U.S. goods.
