Elm Disease Taking Toll At High Rate
The Dutch elm disease that is slowly stripping the University of Kansas campus of American elm trees is taking a heavier toll. It has been linked to Harold Boltch, KU graduates supervisor.
"The disease is carried by the American and European elm leaf beetle which burrows under the bark of the tree, incurs it on the layer, just beneath the bark." Bilch said.
"We've tried all the supposed cures that the horticulturists have said would work, such as DDT, methoxychlor, bibrin and acetone," he said. "Nothing has worked yet."
Bilch said that each year KU sent several small limbs from trees that showed signs of being diseased to Kansas State University, where the samples were cultured to determine whether the trees were infected. Infected trees are then marketed and cut.
"We won't have any tangible plan until after the completion of Wesson Hall, but it is obvious that the canopy or tunnel effect which has been prevalent in front of Strong
"The disease came into the United States from logs which were imported from Holland back around 1835 and was consequently tagged with the name Dutch elm disease, although the disease is found all over Europe," Blitch said.
Plans are being made to change the entire landscape style of KU because so many elm trees are dying, according to Al Thomas, KU landscape architect.

spaces. We'll use maples, sycamores, ashes and a lot more flowering trees.
"The plan will change the image and character of the campus landscape design, but there is just no way to maintain the canopy effect with the elms dying so fast."
Meat Retailers Worried
By CHRIS STEVENS
Kansan Staff Writer
Meat sales in Lawrence have not been affected by the nationwide boycott yet, but local retailers are worried about the meat supply for next week.
"My main worry is whether there will be meat to sell next week," Rusty Springer, a spokesman for the company.
Farmers have delivered fewer cattle and hogs to major markets this week than last. Midwest marketing specialists have told the Associated Press. Packing companies and slaughter houses are laying off workers or closing down entirely.
A major supplier of the Rusty's stores,
Dugdall Packing Company of St. Joseen.
Mo., closed indefinitely last weekend, Springer said.
Springer said he had not noticed a decline in meat sales this week.
"It will not be until the weekend before an appraisal can be made," he said.
The manager of the A&P grocery store, 1040 Massachusetts St., said he was not expecting a decline in meat sales "because our customers think it the boycott" (is foolishness).
Delmas Windholz, manager of Dillon's,
1312 W. Sikh St., said that on Monday meat
sales were down 10 per cent from last week.
It was 14 per cent and 15 per cent from
a week ago by Tuesday.
Windholz said that Monday the shoppers
'Walk, Don't Drive' A Likely Gas Slogan

Most people will be driving little if the present gasoline shortage results in increased fuel costs.
Local station managers expect to see a reduction in business and more and more people bicycling, walking and patronizing public transportation.
"It'll get some of these fat people like me 'off the road and onto bicycles,'" said Jack Panchot, manager of the Clark service station, 511 Ninth St. "Instead of taking a Sunday drive, everybody will go back to sitting on the porch."
Gasoline customers across the country and in Lawrence will be turned away from some stations and may pay as much as 50 cents per gallon, according to local retailers and distributors.
As housewives gingerly pick over high-priced meats in the supermarket, consumers face further financial injury at home because of the nationwide fuel shortage.
A spot check of Lawrence stations this week showed that nearly all sold regular gasoline at or below the national average of 37.9 cents a gallon. Some managers said it was the cheapest at 35.9. Most said they expected a rise in gas prices of two to three cents in the next six months.
The gas price surge has not struck Lawrence yet and will not for the next few weeks.
But many agree that the gas shortage will inevitably boost prices and may cause rationing, which could mean only 10 gallons a customer at each stop.
"We're just operating on a day-to-day basis," said Bob McGrade, manager of the M & M Oil Co., a local distributor. "As soon as good weather comes, people will start driving more and more and the problem will become more acute.
"We can only allocate gas to stations at the rate they had last year. The next step is to lower it 10 per cent of last year. In other words, we should reduce the back to 10 back to 20 per cent. People taking trips this summer will have to make a couple of extra stops to find stations that will give them more fuel."
The fuel shortage, according to local distributors, is a result of a lack of domestic refiners, new anti-pollution devices in the factory and so on, so weave several per cent ricka a veep in damaged cars.
seemed aware of the boycott and bought less meat, but on Tuesday they seemed to not care and bought as much meat as in the past.
Windholz said that the poundage of meat sold was less than it was a few months ago but that the money received for it had increased. The money has been sold, but more money is coming in.
Windholz could not give an estimate comparing the amount of poundage sold this month with the poundage sold a few months ago.
As part of the meat boycott, University of Kansas students handed out information sheets on trimming food budgets to shopkeepers. Hirst's Hillcrest store on Wednesday.
Some station managers predict the shortage will terminate after the summer months, when fuel supplies can be built up again. Others expect the shortage to escalate gradually until something more dramatic happens.
Companies such as the power and light companies were forced to use some gas fuels as an anti-pollution measure to avoid burning coal.
Much of the fuel reserves were consumed last winter by heating needs in various parts of the country. Congress cut back the depletion allowance, which smothered the incentive to develop new refineries and sources of oil. McBride said
"Gas wars will phase out completely," Jerry Taylor, manager of manager of Texaco, 2247 Louisiana St. said. "Anyone trying to get gas would be bad, yielding enough gas to sell at a cheap price."
Will gas customers pay 50 cents a gallon? "Sure," I will buy gas at 50 cents a gallon if you don't. "I'll put in 1022 Walnut St. said, 'I just won't buy it. The days of 'fell-up her' are going.'"
"We need 20 more oil refineries and incentive to go out and tap some more biodiesel."
One consequence of the shortage will be a continued absence of gas wars.
The handouts, prepared by the Consumer Protection Agency (CPA), were distributed to residents.
"Just get out the two-wheeler," Panchot said. "That's what I'm doing to do."
Students who passed out the sheets were part of a Speech 31 class taught by Robert Hamin, assistant professor of speech and drama. Hamin, a member of the CPA board of directors, said the experimental project evolved out of interest and desire of the class to do something about the meat boycott.
When the class handed out the information sheets Monday at Faller's, 252 Iowa St., Ginsburg said, he and other class members got into arguments with farmers. The arguments ceased once farmers understood that the leaflets concerned cutting costs in general and not advocacy of the meat boycott, Ginsburg said.
Senate Approves Lid On Federal Budget
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate Wednesday approved a tough Democratic package to put a ceiling on the federal budget and to sharply curb the President's powers to impound money appropriated by Congress.
Sen. Sam Ervin's proposal limiting immig-
nations was approved 70 to 24 and his
committee voted to approve the proposal.
The twin actions came as amendments to the dollar-devaluation law, which will permit companies to
The impoundment fight was only one of several amendments coming before the Senate on the bill which formally backs up the February devaluation of the dollar.
"This provides that Congress will retain the power of the purse," Ervin shouted to the Senate in defense of his impoundment amendment.
At the same time, the House dealt the administration still another setback by voting 317 to 92 to set up a complex new electrical system to aid rural electric and phone systems.
The key vote came on an effort by the administration to substitute a measure giving President Nixon more flexibility to金钱 money involved. It failed 244 to 162.
The House tacked on to the bill an anti-North Vietnam aid amendment that would bar use of the domestic program's funds outside the United States.
The amendment, sponsored by Rep. John R. Rarkey, D-Da., was approved on a voice vote despite House Republican Leader Donald J. Trump's credential, intransitive and unsuccessful.
Rarick said, however, he wanted to be sure no program money is used to promote his ideas. "I have a great idea."
The legislation would create guaranteed loan programs and set up a rural electrification and telephone revolving fund composed of various assets.
The Senate's vote on the impoundment measures came after it defeated by 2 to 1 margins two Republican attempts to kill the measures.
After the vote, Ervin told a news conference he has the votes to override a presidential veto if senators "vote in the future as they did today.
"It also proves Congress is just as anxious as the President or anyone else for the government to set its financial house in order," Ervin said.
Republicans said, however, the Senate was taking a stand. White House's chief adviser, Fight Ebola, said.
anything in its place.
Sen. John Tower, R-Tex, said the bill has the effect of changing "the chief executive role" of the organization.
"This is a mandate to spend," said Tower,
without regard to efficiency, common sense or
sustainability.
Nixon wanted a ceiling on the budget but no restrictions on how to spend or cut out expenses.
Ervin estimated that President Nixon has impounded $12 billion in funds appropriated for highways, hospital building, health programs and other projects.
Ervin's package includes a $282 billion ceiling on the budget, $700 million less than
The amendment allows the President to make proportionate across the board cuts to get the budget down at the ceiling. If these cuts are not accompanied by comptroller general, Congress will not act.
If the President impounded more program money, he would be required to notify Congress within 10 days. If Congress did not approve within 60 days, the impoundment would be nullified and the spending would take place.
Kansas Senate OKs College Tuition Bill
TOPEKA (AP) — The Kansas Senate passed 25-8 Wednesday and sent to the office an appropriations bill that includes $26 million in the tuition grant program in fiscal 1974.
The amount compares with $1 million appropriated during the current fiscal year for the tuition grant program, under which Kansas residents who attend one of the state's 21 private colleges are eligible for up to $1,000 a school year in state aid.
Under the program, students are awarded grants on a need basis and must show that their parents can only minimally afford them. The program was first enacted in 1972.
The final vote on the bill came during an afternoon session, after floor debate during the morning when the Senate rejected three amendments offered by Sen. Bert Chaney, D-Hutchinson, a foe of the tuition grant program.
Gov. Robert Docking had recommended increasing the funding for the program from $1 million to $2.5 million to make more grants available to needy students attending private colleges. The Republican had endorsed the higher funding level.
One other Democrat, Jack Janssen of Lyons, and three Republicans, Cale Hudson of Chanute, Elwaine Pomeroy of Topeka and John Vermillion of Independence, joined Chaney in voting against the measure.
Chaney tried to reduce the funding back to the present level of $1 million and also
offered amendments that would have made all Kansas college students who attend both public and private schools eligible for the grants and imposed an audit system on the private schools to account for how the money is spent.
All three amendments failed on voice votes.
Chaney and Sen. Robert Talkington, Rola, said they considered the program unconstitutional because of the separation of church and state doctrine. But Sen. Wint Winter, R-Otta, and Sen. John Simpson, R-Salina, defended the program and said the college take some of the having the private colleges take some of the having the state's higher, education system.
Senate action was the first on the appropriations bill including the tuition grant money. The bill will probably go to the House for consideration Thursday.
The senate also approved Wednesday, 29-7, *Docking's executive order No. 1*, which restricts the use of Welfare into a renamed Department of Social and Rehabilitative Services under a new secretary but with basically the same restrictions and rehabilitation as they now exist.
If the House also accepts the executive order—and it is expected to do so—the President will not allow him to be involved.
Two bills are moving toward passage this session to make amendments in the reorganizational structure of the department as drafted by the governor. The major

F&A Begins Funding Hearings
Fund requests totaling $23,286 were reviewed Wednesday by the Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee during the first session of the annual budget hearings.
The largest request considered during the meeting was submitted by University of Kansas Forensics. The debating organization requested $1,557 to support its annual budget increase year. This request is a $486 increase over the group's allocation last year.
Donn Parson, associate professor of讲学 and drama and adviser for forensics, said the organization benefited the University and the students by providing them with advanced University and by establishing relationships with other schools throughout the country.

approximately 40 members, plans to present programs to provide American students with a better understanding of Indian social and cultural values.
The Hockey Club asked for an allocation of $3,787. The funds were requested to cover the cost of team travel to practices and games and to pay for rental of ice skating facilities. The Hockey Club has approximately 35 members.

BSU to Make Requests Tonight
Editor's Note: This is one of a series of essays by Kisanam staff writers examining the use of student activity fee allocations to fund reports on campus. The reporters recently compiled information from Student Senate files about all 86 organizations funded last year by the

The Black Student Union (BSU) will be the only group that received funding last year to appear before the Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee tonight.
The BSU submitted a request for $35,350 last year only to have it trimmed to $1,075 in the Finance and Auditing's recommended budget.
The furor that arose over the slashed request prompted the senate to appoint a special committee to study the BSU funding request.
That committee proposed that the BSU receive $1,030, a figure the Senate accepted.
As of Feb. 20, the BSU had spent $8,737.56
of its allocation
funds for only one of the 15 items had been exhausted. The $600 allocated for dues to Youth Organization for Black Unity (YOBU) and 100 copies of each of 26 issues of African World Newspaper, purchased from YOBU, had all been spent.
Four line items totaling $1,600 had had no expenditures from them.
Controversy that continues up to today arose late last semester when the senate, unhappy with the BSU for purchasing about $50 worth of doughnuts, plastic spoons, and gum balls, paid the funds from the subsistence (food) line item voted to revoke $3.000 of that line item.
Items labeled Film for newsletter($100),
Physical Education Workshop ($200),
Black Education Topographical Center
($300), Education Plaza ($200)
were untouched as of Feb. 20.
The senate also voted to freeze the remainder until the BSU could submit to the Senate a resolution.
organization of its food co-operative that would make the venture self-sufficient.
The senate stipulated that one-sixth of the remaining frozen line item, an equal increment for each month remaining in the fiscal year, would be revoked at the end of each month in which the BSU had not submitted a new plan.
No plan has been submitted.
The BSU filed suit with the University Judiciary Feb. 14 charging the senate with discrimination and capricious conduct in the fund revocation.
The groups, seeking the amounts that are in parentheses, will be heard at these times:
The suit was dismissed, but an appeal was tied by the BSU. No decision has been given.
