Absences Plague Senate
Students at the University of Kansas will elect 33 representatives to the Student Senate Wednesday and Thursday, but they will also be responsible will depend on how many attend meetings.
This year about 20 senators have been removed by the senate's Elections Committee for poor attendance, Sterling Hall, and committee chairman, said recently.
Senate attendance has become increasingly worse during the last five meetings of the term. Barely half the senate attended the final meeting, Feb. 28.
Truck Duncan, Wilmette, Ill., senior and former Elections Committee chairman, said attendance this year was the worst it has been over four years he had attended senate meetings.
Ironically, he said, this senate turned out in greater numbers for four budget meetings last spring than had previous senates.
By the 14th session of the term, however, absenteeism was up to 17 per cent. Fifteen of the 69 members were absent during the term. Twenty-one, 18, Elections Committee records show.
From there, the number absent climbed to 26 (28 per cent) Dec. 6, dipped to 15 again Jan. 31, then climbed to 36 (40 per cent) Feb. 14 and 42 (47 per cent) Feb. 28.
Of the 89 students listed on the senate rolls, 16 have attended all 19 meetings in their entirety. Seventeen others have missed one meeting each.
Duncan attributed the declining attendance to a lack of interest among senators. Such a lack of interest, he said, prompted a poor guidance by committee chairmen.
*(Student Executive Committee)*, *Duncan cun*
*, "Stud.Ex is the committee that calls meetings and sets the agenda*, so if the meeting does not include EX meetings, you have a weak agenda.
Senators who missed a number of meetings in the closing months of the term gave their votes to the Senate.
"If you have a weak agenda, you have little interest. Also, if the committee chairmen don't guide the committees in any projects, you lose interest there."
one senator, a graduate student who attended only one of the last five meetings and left that one early, said he taught a class every Wednesday night and therefore could not attend meetings. He had he not told the conflict would arise when he was elected last fall.
A roll call is taken at the beginning and the end of each meeting. Each roll call must be completed.
are allowed four excused absences and two unexcused.
After a senator accumulates the maximum number of absences he receives a letter informing him that he must appear before an offer an explanation of his reasons. Haldu is asked.
The committee can then either allow the senator to remain in the senate or it can oust him. Hulm said that usually the member was allowed to remain, but sometimes the time to appear before the committee.
"Committee chairmen make up StudEx
Elected senators can be replaced by the Elections Committee. Hall said that the runner-up from the same school in the previous election was usually granted the next.
The senate has no procedure for impeaching a senator. A bill for that purpose was written during the last term, but the Student Rights and Privileges Committee was unable to present it in a final form to the senate.
Wounded Knee Calm Marred by Shooting
WOUNDED KNEE, S.D. (AP)—An FBI agent was wounded during a new exchange of gunfire near Wounded Knee on Sunday, 24 hours after federal authorities reached a peace agreement with Indians and withdrew an armed roadblock.
The shooting followed a charge by the Indians that the government was trying to "discredit" the peace pact by infiltrating federal agents into the village.
FBI agents and federal marshals assembled in nearby Pine Ridge after the attack on the building, established surveillance points around main roads into Wounded Knee. The agents withdrew from visible road areas by the morning and the situation seemed relaxed again.
The wounded agent was Curt Fitzgerald of Chicago. He was treated at Pine Ridge Hospital for a bullet wound four inches above the wrist.
Fitzgerald was later taken by ambulance to an airstrip and evacuated by helicopter. He reportedly was to be taken to Ellsworth Hospital, where he lived, 128 miles northwest of Wounded Knee.
Officials in Pine Ridge said the incident, which occurred on a road five miles west of the village, was the result of agents, who were keeping a surveillance on traffic to and from the village, spotted a man they believed to have been stolen. Agents pursued the vehicle, and the exchange of money was over.
DENNIS BANKS, an American Indian Movement (AIM) leader, said that some of his followers in the van were fired on first, and that they returned the fire.
"I think the FBI was attempting to provoke the situation." Banks said.
The rear windows of the van were amached by bullets, he said, but none of the gunmen could be seen.
The main Indian roadblock at Wounded Knee was guarded Sunday by six armed sentries instead of the usual one or two guards.
Before the shooting occurred, four men who the Indians said had claimed to be police officers were guarded for about two hours before being escorted from the hamlet with their hands.
Indian leaders said the four men told sentries they were postal inspectors, but only one gave his name and carried identification.
The four were taken to the edge of the village by panel truck and told to walk with hands in the air to their car, parked about a quarter of a mile away.
Aim leader Russell Means said, "If any entry enters the village, he will face a firing."
"If any foreign official of any foreign power, specifically the United States, tries to enter the village, it will be treated as an act of war and treated accordingly." Means said.
In Washington, a spokesman for the Justice Department issued the following
"Atty. Gen. Richard G. Kleindienst or-
dedel all law enforcement officers on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota to use the utmost restraint in controlling the dangerous situation that exists there.
"United States marshals and FBI agents have been reminded of their written orders in order to discharge their weapons. These orders require discharge their weapons unless their lives are in imminent danger or the lives of the citizens they are trying to protect are en-
"Department of Justice and Department of Interior officials are on the scene and are willing to talk to the militant Indians to try to resolve their problems."
Troop Removal Ends, Awaits POW Release
SAIGON (AP) — The United States announced today it has halted American troop withdrawals from Vietnam until the Communists release the next to last group of American prisoners of war, schedule for the execution of three more in a list and date of release for the final groom.
A spokesman described the move as "sad, damn sure we get all the jobs."
The U.S. spokesman said he foresaw no trouble.
The Communist delegations announced Sunday that they would release approximately 140 American prisoners at a Lam airport on Wednesday and Thursday.
"We've got assurances that they will release all the prisoners he said. "We said there is a police officer."
The Viet Cong, he said, will turn over its list of approximately 30 prisoners on Tuesday. They will be released on Thursday, also at Gia Lam, Tin said.
Bui Tin, chief spokesman for the North Vietnamese delegation, said a list of about 110 prisoners to be freed on Wednesday by North Vietnam would be given to the United States at a meeting today of the four-party Joint Military Commission.
As soon as the lists are received by the U.S. delegation in Saigon, they will be
transmitted to Washington for immediate notification of relatives of the prisoners.
Also on the agenda of the Joint Military Commission meeting was Sunday's cancellation by the Viet Cong of an exchange of rifles. The Viet Cong, Pho and Tam Ky on the northern coast.
The Communist side charged that Saigon government forces launched attacks in the vicinity of one of the release sites at Duc Pho. An investigation team of the commission visited the site Sunday and planned to report its report to the commission Monday.
The peace agreement states that prisoners will be released in the same ratio as American and other allied troops are to be. Both are to be completed by March 28.
The Communist side would have to release half the 268 prisoners it still holds to match the 75 per cent U.S. troop withdrawal rate.
The U.S. Command announced meanwhile that the North Vietnam has removed missile equipment at Khe San in the northwestern quarter of South Vietnam, avoiding for the time being a direct confrontation with the United States and North Vietnam.
The United States had made it clear that the missiles not been removed, they were not being used.
Tuition Won't Deter Nonresidents
By ANN McFERREN
Kansan Staff Writer
Many nonresident students at the University of Kansas say the increase in out-of-state tuition that will go into effect next fall will create some financial difficulty for them. Although the added cost will not prevent most of them from returning to KU.
According to William L. Kelly, registrar,
out-of-state tuition will increase $125 a year.
The new tuition rate is 27%.
Bermuda Governor, Aide Shot to Death in Gardens
HAMILTON, Bermuda (AP)—The British governor of Bermuda and an aide were shot to death as they walked the street during the dinner party, authorities reported Sunday.
Two of Scotland Ward's murder squad detectives, William Yard and Basil Hadrel, arrived in Bermuda from London. The British law enforcement agency said as many as nine of its men will be sent over the next few days to help investigate the killings.
Government leader Sir Edward Richards said Sunday at a news conference that police had detained a few people for questioning in the case.
Sharperies and Sayers had been walking the governor's Great Dane, Horsa, around the spacious unguarded grounds of Sharperies to play the party. The dog also was shot to death.
the governor, Sir Richard Sharpe, and his aide-de-camp, Capt. Hugh Sayers, were found dead just before midnight Saturday outside Government House, the official of London's representative to Bermuda, which is a British crown colony in the Atlantic.
Wright and Hadrell are the same detectives who flew to Bermuda last fall to investigate the death of the island's police commissioner.
who now pay $338 a semester will pay $663
a semester: $1,328 annually.
The assistant governor declared a state of emergency shortly after stepping in and gave police and immigration officials the instructions to stop anyone from leaving the island.
Sources said Sharples often took the dog for such walks in the evening.
The spokesman, acting at the request of police, declined to say how many shots were fired at Sharples and Sayers, his 25-year-old assistant. He said the number of attackers was unknown and declined to reveal what type of cartridges were found.
"I will be able to return to KU, but it will be hard for my dad because he is paying tuition for both my brother and me," said Kathi Heverlv. Deerfield. Ill._ junior.
Sharples, 75, took over last October, a month after the island's police commissioner was killed and his 17-year-old officer was wounded in the yard of their home.
Some students said the increase would not affect them seriously. However, students said their parents would be hit hardest by the added cost.
When he arrived, Sharples and Sayers were dead and the killers had fled, the spokesman said. There were no other security personnel on hand, he said.
HEVERLY SAID SHE had a job this semester but would probably have to work more hours next semester to help make up the difference.
A government spokesman said police did not know whether there was any connection to the attack.
An unarmed policeman on duty inside the governor's residence reported he heard several shots and ran out the front door to investigate.
The governor's residence, a mile from the center of Hamilton, is surrounded by about 15 acres of landscaped gardens. Although they are walled at intervals, the grounds are crossed by public roads, and no attempt is made to guard against trespassing.
Marilyn Metzler, Delmar, N.Y., junior, said she would finish her education at KU. She said, however, that her younger sister, who had planned to attend KU next year, would probably not come to Kansas because of the increase
"My parents didn't want my sister to go to school so far away from home anyway," Metzler said. "But the tuition increase will probably help to decide the matter."
"My parents will probably be prepared for the increase," said Suzanna Magee, St. Louis freshman. "I had planned to go to Vanderbilt, which is much more expensive than KU, but changed my mind at the last minute."
Some students said they could not transfer to another school because they were too near to be finished with their undergraduate studies or because another school would not offer a program compatible to the one they were involved in at KU.
"I will come back to school here," Hatfield said. "My parents pay most of my tuition but they will be upset because it has gone up so much for next year."
MELINDA HATFIELD, Rolla, Mo.
sophomore, said she would probably have to
"There is no way I could transfer to another school with only one semester left," said Kay Moriarty, Arlington Heights, Ill. senior. "Nor would I want to transfer."
"KU has one of the best occupational therapy programs in the nation but if I were to transfer, I would have to repeat many because the credits would not transfer.

Whitney said she would probably have to get a job to help her parents na tuition.
i will stay here because of my major," Whitney said. "A good program for a Russian major is hard to find anywhere else."
Some students said they might not return to KU because of the tuition increase.

Former Spy Freed, Flies To Mother
HONG KONG (AP)—Former CIA agent John T. Downey walked across the Lo W border bridge to Hong Kong and to freedom leaders in Tianjin. He is a Chinese prison on espionage charges.
Thirty-seven minutes later he left aboard a U.S. Air Force plane for Clark Field, in the Philippines, on the first leg of a "fastest" mission to destroy a vertically ill mother in New Britain, Conn.
President Nixon had appealed personally to Premier Chou Enlai to release Downey after his mother suffered a stroke last week. He was responded by commuting his life sentence.
Downey, 42, and another agent of the Central Intelligence Agency, Richard Fecteau, were abroad a plane that vanished from Tokyo, 29, 1982, while flying from Seoul to Tokyo.
Their disappearance remained a mystery until two years later, when Peking announced that Downey and Fecteau had been convicted of sping. Peking said Downey was sentenced to life imprisonment and Fecteau to 20 years in jail.
Feking, however, reduced Fectau's sentence following President Nixon's trip to China in February 1971 and freed him that December. At the same time, China announced it would review Downey's sentence.
Earlier this year, Nixon admitted for the first time that Downey was a CIA agent.
