No Benefits Seen in Plan On Revenue
By C. C. CALDWELL Kansan Staff Writer
City Manager Buford Walt spoke skeptically Thursday after about possible administrative limits to the spec revenue sharing plan.
The special revenue sharing plan consolidated 70 single purpose grant programs for the private sector in education, development, education, manpower and law enforcement. Watson said the new program required applications for a broad range of the use of funds left to the local government.
"We don't see any advantage to us." Watson said upon his return from a two-day national conference in Washington, D.C. The conference was designed to inform local officials about pertinent federal activity.
Watson said one of the things that concerned him most was that Floyd Hyde, recently appointed undersecretary of the department of Housing and Urban Development, had said community leaders should know those cities in excess of 50,000 population
For Lawrence that means there will be no real administrative change in the flow of funds, because grants will be fumelled from the university's size, rather than being sent directly.

KU Budget Nears Senate
By ERIC MEYER
Kansan Staff Writer
Next year's budget for the University of Kansas has cleared most obstacles to its approval, according to state legislators and University officials.
Two of the final hurdles, subcommittee hearings and approval, will be cleared this week. State Sen. Richard D. Rogers, R-Manhattan, said Wednesday.
He said the subcommittee also would recommend a $141.91 increase in the $47.7 million budget requested by Gov. Robert Docking. The increase would restore funds requested by the University and approved by the governor from the governor's final budget draft.
Rogers, a member of the higher education subcommittee of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, said his subcommittee was already on the proposed KU budget by today.
Rogers said the subcommittee's written report was still being drafted and would be presented to the full committee as soon as the text was completed.
Subcommittee approval, Rogers said, is
the most crucial step toward legislative approval of the budget.
"In the past," he said, "the Ways and Means Committee has accepted the subcommittee report, and the Senate and House have gone along with the report as written."
Rogers said the subcommittee had considered and dismissed the possibility of a gubernatorial veto because of the increases.
The Ways and Means Committee probably will send the bill to the full Senate within a week, Rogers said, but the Senate has not yet authorized sideration of the bill until later in the session.
"If expected revenue sources dry up or if we need more money for some other use, we can't do that. We re-evaluate all allocations, including those for higher education. That's why the big appropriations are held up until the end of a session. We can get a better picture then."
Failure to continue a ban on the deduction of federal corporate income tax payments may result in penalties.
Health Department Accepts Dr. Clinton's Resignation
The resignation of Dr. Dale Clinton, director of the Douglas County Public Schools, to "re reluctantly accepted" at an emergency meeting of the public health board Thursday night, according to Dr. Raymond Schott. The resignation is effective immediately.
According to Schwegger, the board had tried unsuccessfully to dissuade Clinton from resigning after he informed Schwegger of his intention by telephone on Wednesday.

Schweigler said that Clinton's formal letter of resignation gave no reason for the decision but that he thought continual rejection of his nomination contributed to Clinton's decision to resign.
Clinton has been under fire in recent months for his policies at the health department. Mrs. Raymond Cerf, 1000 Sunset Drive, one of his most vocal critics, said the administration's control medication "like bubble gum." In a letter to the Kansas Board of Regents, she expressed concern for women students at the University of Kansas who were able to enroll in college pills at the health department without "necessary" tests, such as a pap smear.

Senator Tells Profs. 'No Sell, No Funds'

A principal problem with education is adult disillusionment, Bennett said. Parents have more difficulty accepting today's youth than their parents did, and education is bearing the backlash of adult disillusionment.
This disillusionment is reflected in the legislature, and it applies not only to higher education but also to elementary education, he said.
To obtain additional state support for higher education, professors "must leave their ivory towers and their vine covered balls and grovel with the common man," Robert Bennett, R-Prairie Village, president of the Kansas Senate, said Thursday.
"I realize you want us to do more. Lots of people want us to do more, and we want to do more," Bennett said. "You have to strike delicate balance between the wishes of the taxpayer to hold the line and desires to expand programs and services."
Bennett and Rep. Duane McGill, R-Winfield, speaker of the House, spoke Thursday to the University of Kansas at the University Association of University Professors (AAUP).
Faculty members are not selling their product, Bennett said, and they must do so to get state support. He said professors thought that the people of Kansas should accept education as "manifest destiny" or "government failure" and forget the feelings of the people.
Although professors talk about the common man and teach about the common man, they actually are ignorant of him, he said. Until the University can convince the common man that higher education is worthwhile, it will not receive support, he said.
McGill said that legislators had to be responsible to the people and that decisions about education were made after considering the sentiments of the people.
Bennett also said he realized the professors would like higher allocations for salaries. But, he said, teachers are not the only public employees in Kansas who want higher salaries. Salary scales are low for all employees, from the governor down, he said.
Bennettt and McGill denied charges by

Gov. Robert Docking at the Feb. 15 meeting of the AAPT that the Republican legislative leaders were calling to divert funds from the state budget fund the Republicans' school finance plan.
Both the House and Senate versions of the Republican school finance plan are "fiscally responsible and fundable," Bennett said.
They said the legislature would try to allocate more for higher education than the governor had recommended if the funds were available.
Bennett said that when Docking proposed a program the governor said it was an "open-ended cornucopia," but when the Republicans proposed a program they were "on a collision course with higher education."
Scotland Yard itself, on Whitehall Street,
and the Westminster area near the headquarters of the Conservative and Labor parties also were targets, but security men found the bombs before they could so off.
Police expressed belief that the bombs were planted by the Provisional wing of the Irish Republican Army to coincide with a referendum in Northern Ireland on whether it should remain in the United Kingdom or not, while with the Irish republic in the south.
In addition to scores brought into hospitals, many others were treated at the scenes or elsewhere for shock, cuts and bruises. The total number of casualties varied up to 200.
LONDON (AP)——The car bomb terror of Northern Ireland struck the heart of London Thursday with shattering explosions outward from a building in Whitehall in Westminster. More than 150 persons were wounded in blasts that left the worst scenes of destruction since the blitz of May.
One man in his 60s died of wounds.

"We are not willing to accept his schizohronia." Bennett said.
Bennett also denied charges by Docking in Pittsburg that the Republican leadership used strong-arm tactics and killed pet bills of legislators who disagreed with them.
"The legislature is an independent branch of government. It exercises independent judgment, not judgment stamped out for it or directed by or legislative leadership," he said.
All programs are considered by at least one committee and considered objectively, he said. Programs with merit are passed over without a merit fall by the wayside, he said.
Grading Changes Proposed

The withdrawal policy approved by the Council calls for free withdrawals through the fourth week of the semester or during weeks one and two of the summer session. During this period a withdrawal would not be recorded on the student's transcript.
Because more than one-third of the Council members said they thought the proposals directly affected many members of the University community, the changes in the grading system were referred to the University Senate for final decision.

During the fifth through 12th weeks of the
Major changes in the University grading system, including provisions to allow students to withdraw from courses through the 12th week of the semester without fear of failing, were approved Thursday by the University Council.
The Council also codified the credit-no-credit option, clarified the procedures for giving incomplete and provided for the use of the U-satisfactory and the U-un-satisfactory) in some courses.
The difference between credit-no credit and S-U is that credit-no credit is the student's option and S-U courses are established by the school. All students enrolled in the latter courses would receive grades of either S or U.
A representative of the Academic Procedures and Policies Committee (AP&P) which drafted the rule changes said that one reason the withdrawal policy was made more lenient was that what was proposed was what actually existed. Many workplaces currently allow students doing falling work to receive WSs after the fourth week, he said.
Objections were raised that an extended withdrawal period would be an added expense to the University and that it would hurt students who were trying to enroll in classes that had been closed out at enrollment. One Council member said the
Another consideration, he said, was that the student would have more time to decide whether he had bitten off more than he could handle. He also said that in fewer withdrawals because after staying in the class a while students sometimes would decide they could handle their course.
semester or weeks three through five of the summer session, a withdrawal would receive only the grade W. During this period students will be required to deliver严 F the withdraw from the course
Beginning with the 13th week of the semester or the sixth week of the summer session, a student doing failing work would receive an F for withdrawing from a course.
The more lenient policy on withdrawal was amended so that an individual school or a subdivision of a school could institute more restrictive rules as long as students were informed about them at the time of enrollment.
A student said she did not foresee excessive use of the withdrawal privilege as a result of the proposal. A W on the transcript is penalty enough for withdrawing, she said, because it would not impress future employers.
A provision was approved whereby individual schools might establish courses for students who would not receive U. Such courses would be listed in the timetable and the instructor would not use grades of A, B, C, D and F. Grades of S would not receive grades and grades of U receive no credit.
University should not have to bear the cost of educating a person for 12 weeks only to receive a degree.
The representative from the A&P&
Committee said that courses using S and U
grades generally would be upper division

"I have not heard any objections to the objectives of the plan, but there are a lot of details which remain to be settled. Of course, the plan is subject to continual study and revision, as was stated in its text. This will be completed with a continuous process for muilt a while."
Shankel said some of the plan's shortcomings might be attributed to the 'considerable pressure of a deadline" under which the plan was prepared.
Shankel said some concern about the plan had been expressed by faculty members. He said, "There has been a lot of talk in the mathematics department and in a lot of other areas about possible modifications of the plan."

"I think we had ample time to prepare the document," he said Tuesday. "It's not going to satisfy everyone 100 per cent, but it it's workable and we can live with it."
"Even if we'd had more time, I don't think it would have been possible to make the plan more comprehensive and permanent."
Nichols said many of the plant's weaknesses could be attributed to the inadequacy of other existing University buildings, and he had heard no other objection to the plan.

Supporters of the amendment said the right of each school to determine its own graduation requirements must be preserved.
The Council approved an amendment to the credit-no credit section that would allow an individual school to decide whether specific courses that receive the grade of credit would be counted toward a degree in that school.
There were many seriously wounded among the first 125 victims admitted to the hospital.
London's reputation as one of the safest cities in the world went up in clouds of thick black smoke as bombs went off, shattering windows and killing dozens. Office workers and other bystanders.
A separate blast at the same time was aimed at the central army recruiting office in the Whitehall area, adjoining government offices. It damaged a pub.
All four car bombs had been timed to explode at about 3 p.m., police said.
The worst explosion, which took the most casualties, hit the Old Bailey criminal court, sending a pillar of smoke up to its dome. Every window of a 20-story office earlier scattered and crashed down. Other windows were broken two blocks away.
A frenzy of other bombs scatted hit London landmarks including Parliament, the Stock Exchange, the Foreign Office, the Times newspaper and the royal residence at Windsor Castle. Many key government buildings were evacuated for bomb searches.
Scotland Yard sent out a special task force to check. By midmorning it had found one literally on its own doorstep and issued a public warning that more could follow.
Scotland Yard had been tipped in advance to expect IRA car bomb attacks against him.
A rail strike left London's streets jammed with cars driven in by commuters. Parking restrictions were lifted and emergency parking lots were packed.

Government officials would not comment on the reported shots, although about a dozen FBI agents wearing flak jackets and tactical gear were seen rushing from a command post.
Federal spokesmen here and in Washington declined further comment on the talks, which were being held after passage of a deadline for the Indians to abandon their 10-day siege of this historic hamlet without facing arrest.
