Kevin Nowlan Explains Exchange Program
Plan would allow exchange between University College Dublin and KU professors .
Prof Exchange Proposed
A visiting Irish professor has announced that he would attempt to set up exchange programs with the University of Kansas this week.
Kevin Nowan, professor of modern history at the University College Dublin, said in an interview Saturday that he would have to wait until he was a student of women professors at his university and KU.
Representatives from the office of vice chancellor for academic affairs and the history department and Delbert Shankel, actuarian dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, will meet this week with Nowlan to discuss his proposals. The first meeting will be at a luncheon today in the Kansas Union.
The University College Dublin keeps a faculty position open each year for a professor of American History from the United States, Nowlan said. Nowlan will
propose that a KU professor fill the position each year for a three-year trial period.
He will also propose an exchange program for faculty courses in areas of foreign language, American literature.
Nowlan said the exchange members would not necessarily be chosen from the same area, but on the basis of need and availability. Thus, if a medievalist from KU were to have come in there would not have to be a medievalist sent from the University College Dublin.
According to both Newlan and Charles Sidman, professor of history, who goes over to the island will be paid in Irish pounds and whose there will be paid in American dollars.
"We want to avoid any exhange of money." Sidman said.
Sidman said the results of the meetings said he would not be available until Thursday.
Whether a person's interest in Ireland is that of an average passive news reader or that of an active international feminist, he must acknowledge the primacy of the island's economic realities, according to Dublin scholar Kevin Nowlan.

Scholar Discusses Irish Question

Nowlan, professor of modern history at University College Dublin and a current visitor at the University of Kansas, spoke in an interview Saturday. Nowlan will lecture on "The Irish Question" at 3:30 p.m. today in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
"One has to see Iceland on two levels—the level, so easily dramatized in the world press, of revolution, and the reality, which is far more prosaic, of people living in their suburbs and on their farms cutting the grass and trining to make a living," he said.
"There are a lot of misconceptions about the nature of the revolution in Ireland and the implications of it in the wider context," Nowlan said.
"There's a very strong tradition of the use of force to achieve either political or social ends." Nowan said. "The myth of the archetype of a ruler is that he and rifle is something that is part of the symbols of Irish society, rather like your Minutemen of the American Revolution,"
He discussed those misconceptions and the revolution's implications in terms of Ireland's traditions and myths. He said he thought the turmoil was not simply of religious origin, but consisted of religious, class and nationalistic factors.
He said that by the 17th century, Ireland was already split into two societies culturally. One group consisted of the native Gaelic peoples and their absorbed English settlers, while the other practiced politically potent English settlers with their way to gaining control of the land.
Nowlan said that this original split along historical cultural lines, in passing through a transition period to concentrated land ownership within an overall agrarian society, supported a concomitant tradition of secret organizations established to
Nowian explained the Irish tradition of use of force as rooted deeply in the island's history.
He said that because the land was the historic key to survival in the society, the poor very often had had to employ violence and cruelty, particularly in periods of famine.
protect the liberty of the peasants and tenant farmers.
As Irish political nationalism began to develop in the 18th and 19th centuries, there were two ways of looking at the preser-
ture of Ireland's political identity. Nowlan said.
There were those who favored a restoration or parliamentary home rule and those who favored revolution through the abolition of the French and American revolutions.
Nowlan said the extent to which revolutionary activity in the North was a part of an international terrorist movement was marginal at most.
Following the Easter Rebellion of 1916 the ultimate establishment of the Irish Republic in the South, Newlan said, the Irish Republican Army (IRA) was 'found' until the 1860s, when conditions the North became ripe for violence.
Nowian acknowledged that there were some international parallels in the setting of violence, the initial outbreak of violence in Nicaragua, and that said the usual terrorists' preconditions of a small element of dedicated仗位军队 and adequate passive support.
However, Novian said, other attempts to draw international parallels were inappropriate.
"There is no doubt that the arms are coming in," Nowlan said. "I don't think there are any ideological implications in the source of arms."
The visitor cited interceptions of shipments of American and British weapons, as well as those of Soviet weapons, as evidence of the use of a weapon system a low-level middleman operation.
"I think here you're dealing not so much
Soviet rubber, but dollars for dynamite."
He thinks the real source of the funding is Irish societies and clubs in the United
A recent bombing in London does not suggest expansion of the revolutionaries' targeting or international implications, he said.
States, he said.
"I think you'll find that the bombing in London is unique in the sense that it's not going to be repeated, it hasn't been repeated. Secondly, I suspect it was done by a splinter group of the Ulster Provisionals." Nowlan said.
Nowlan said that Ireland's ancients Brehon laws, which included women's rights provisions, had given women a strong position but that they had contained both good and bad elements from the women's liberation viewpoint.
He said that the Brennon laws had afforded divorce and subsequent return to the divorce property from the marriage but that the law required a polygamy. Nowlan said that this had meant that a man's fifth wife, for example, would enjoy the same strong position as his first.
In contemporary Ireland, Newman pointed to three problems of particular interest and concern to women—equality of pay, social protection and active information and devices, and divorce.
He said that as elsewhere in the world, the issue of economic equality enjoyed the highest level.
Propagation of methods of contraception is forbidden under law, Nowlan said, and there is a general consensus in Ireland that this ban should be lifted because it represents an intrusion into the personal domain.
However, he added that partisan political

KU-Y Will Request Less Money
7"×10" SHIELD $25.00

Editor's Note: This is one of a series of stories by Kansan staff writers examining the use of student activity fee allocations during the past fiscal year. A team of eight faculty compiled information about all 86 organizations funded last year by the senate.

The KU-Y has requested $300 for next year. It was allocated $540 for this year and had spent $63.30 of that amount by late February.
We can mail to your home after college.
One unusual feature of tonight's budget hearings will be the review of a group that has requested less money for next year than it received this year.
Ray Weinand, KU-Y business manager, told a Kansan reporter that his organization was a service group that also was funded by the KU Endowment Association.
Substantial funding increases are in order for most of the other groups to be heard at the International Club, which operated on $3 million this year, has requested $6,000 for next year.
The club had spent $1,650 by late February. Of its allocation of $3,800, $1,800 was budgeted for the festival, which will take place later this spring.
The International Club lists 375 regular members and uses its funds to provide routine office supplies to 14 small campus foreign student clubs. In addition, the club is in a newspaper, Internationale, and sponsors the annual spring International Festival.
Legal Self-Defense has requested $3,675 for next year, up from its current funding level of $800.
According to the senate treasurer's office, Legal Self-Defense did not receive an allocation for this year but was simply allowed to use this year the amount of its budget, which it had not spent. The group had bought the entire $800 by the end of February.
The Women's Intercollegiate Sports Club received $9,367 for this year and asked for $17,806.61 for next year. It had spent $3,509.36 of this year's funds by Feb. 19.
The club's largest expenses were for rental cars for transportation to and from events and for the gymnastics team, for
which the sports club bought a set of parallel bars this year.
Membership in the club was about 50 during the first of the year, but club officials said membership would increase to 80 to 100 girls during the spring.
The Douglas County Legal Aid Society, which received $4,300 from the senate this year, has requested an increase to $5,380. The agency provides low-cost legal aid to clients in need of legal costs themselves. About 30 per cent of the agency's clients are students.
Catalyst, the organization that funds the LA&S program at KU, has requested $22,000, up from its present funding level of $16,000. All but $0 of the allocation was for salaries. Of the $16,050, $7,417.02 had been spent by Jan. 31.
The Kansas Law Review, a legal publication of KU law students, has requested $2,500. The publication received $1,500 this year. Although senate records showed that none of the money had been spent, members of the publication's staff were able to complete the KU Printing Service had not yet bid the organization for printing costs.
The Kansas Latin Americanist, a newsletter distributed on campus, in the state and to a limited degree outside the state, had spent all of its current allocation $247.25 by late February. The organization has requested $20 for next year.
The Law School Council had not spent any of its current $22 allocation by Feb. 25, Steve Morgan, Lawrence second-year law student at the council was never organized this year.
The following groups will appear before the Finance and Auditing committee of the Board.
Any money remaining unspent in an organization's account at the end of the fiscal year is not retained by the organization. The funds are returned to the senate's contingency fund and are reallocated.
The Law School Council has requested a funding increase to $250 for next year. One new organization will be heard tonight. The Pershing Rifle's Bloodmobile project has requested $310 to operate next year.
