Kansas Reps To Discuss No-Fault Bill
By CAROLYN OLSON Kansan Staff Writer
After a long-fought battle, a revised no-fault insurance bill is being discussed this morning in the Kansas House of Governments and will be voted on Tuesday.
The no-fault insurance plan is intended to speed settlements after *n* accident by doing away with the need to decide who is responsible for payment before payments are made to the victim.
Rep. Earl Ward, R-Mission Hills and chairman of the House Insurance Committee which helped revise the no-fault bill under consideration, said he believed that would be approved by the House and Senate who signed into law by Gov. Robert Docking.
Under the plan being discussed today, Kansas motorists would be offered a package of benefits amounting to more than $17,000 for each person involved in an accident without regard to who caused the accident.
The revised bill is a product of the combined efforts of Fletcher Bell, State Insurance Commissioner; the House Insurance Committee; and an interim legislative committee formed last year to study no-fault insurance.
Many lawyers, including those representing the Kansas Bar Association and the Kansas Trial Lawyers Association, have objected to the no-fault bill because it would limit the victim's right to sue for damages sustained in an accident.
Under the revised no-fault plan, lawsuits for pain, suffering, mental anguish and inconvenience could be filed only if medical evidence of a fracture or other damage would be given if the injury caused permanent disfigurement, loss of a body member, certain bone fractures, permanent wounds, "within reasonable probability," permanent loss of a body function or death.

142 POWs Released; Mines to Be Swept

Another 34 prisoners of war was released by the Viet Cong were flown out of Hanoi to freedom today after the release Sunday of three men and two Thais by the North Vietnamese.
A C141 flying hospital picked up 30 Americans, including three civilians; two West German medical workers; and two Filipino employees of the Voice of America at a Philippine air station. They were due at Clark Air Base in the Philippines about 4 a.m. eST.

In Saigon the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong suspended future sessions of the four-party Joint Military Commission Monday in exchange of the exchange of Vietnamese prisoners.
The release of this group of POWs originally had been expected last Tuesday, but was set back nearly a week due to a fire outbreak and terms of the cease-fire agreement.
THE COMMUNIST delegations said they would attend no further sessions with the United States and South Vietnam until the Saigon government raises the number of prisoners it will release from 3,000 to 4,000 in the second round of POW exchanges.

were "grinning from ear to ear" after getting on the plane at Hanoi.
The liberation of U.S. war prisoners was on track again, and the United States Sunday resumed the withdrawal of American troops from South Vietnam and moved a naval mine sweeping force back into position off Haiphong.
BOTH THE TROOP pullout and the clearing of mines from North Vietnam's chief port were suspended last Wednesday after the Communist side delayed the freeing of another batch of American prisoners.
For the North Vietnamese, perhaps the most visible sign of U.S. displeasure was the abrupt halt in the clearing of explosives on the long ship channel after it had barely been.
On orders from Washington, the mine-clearing force pulled up anchor last Wednesday and sailed out into the Gulf of Tonkin.
Several hours after the American POWs were freed in Hanoi, Pentagon officials reported that 15 U.S. naval vessels had returned to an anchorage off Haiphong.
Powwow Peace Pipe Fizzles Out in S.D.
WOUNDED KNEE, S.D. (AP)—Peace talks between militant Indians, who sizzed Wounded Knee, and federal officials stalled Sunday when top leaders from both sides failed to attend the meeting in a tepee overlooking the village.
Indian leaders Russell Means and Dennis Banks refused to go to the meeting after they learned that Ralph Erickson, the official at the area, would not be present.

Two hours of preliminary discussions took place between Indians and other federal officials Sunday. But the federal authorities said they were unaware of a peace proposal the Indians said they had to government officials Saturday night.
Fund Cut Revocable, Nichols Says

There has been no shooting reported at Wounded Knee since Saturday morning. One item of the peace proposal made by the 200 Indians who took over the village Tuesday was that federal law enforcement officials withdraw from the area.
the president of the Oglia Slaux, most of whose 13,000 members live on the Pine Ridge Reservation, he had been told by U.S. Justice Department officials that such a withdrawal was impossible. The Oglia president, Richard Wilson, was also criticized for his supporters to out the Wounded Knee peaceians, who, he says, are intruders.

merical banks, will apparently be liberalized and expanded.
Congress may restore part of the federal funds for higher education that President Nixon has proposed to run, Chancellor Raymond Nichols said Sunday.
Nichols said Friday that the President's proposed budget would reduce by about $2 million the amount of federal funds available to the University in fiscal year 1974.
The chancellor based his estimate on analyses prepared by the University's offices of Research Administration and Student Financial Aid. More than 30 separate programs administered by a dozen federal agencies are involved.
Nichols said earlier this month that it would be difficult for some students to obtain a loan under this program because of their in patting up security for the bank.
"THEME IS a chance that some of the money in some of the programs will be restored or that the cutbacks will be stretched out over a more lengthy period of time. It all depends on Congress," Nichols said Sunday.
The potential $2 million cut is almost 15 per cent of the amount the University would have expected, if current funding levels had continued.
Henry Snyder, associate dean of the Office of Research Administration, said Friday that the Office of Education and the Public Health Service were the two agencies which would cause the University the greatest losses.
The plan called for American Indian Movement (AIM) members to stay in Wounded Knee. The Indians said they would not negotiate an evacuation but would necessitate for supplies. They asked that any remaining criminal charges be held in Wounded Knee.
Office of Education grants will decrease by approximately $430,000, and grants from
the public Health Service would decrease $1 million, if the President's budget goes
"THE CUTS made here will have an incalculable effect upon basic research in areas where the University has a national leadership and child development," Snider said.
Erickson said the Justice Department's proposal was reached between federal authorities and attorneys who entered the case in August, by those of whose leaders spearheaded the takeover.
"No arrests will be made" if everything is peaceful, Erickson said. "No charges will be placed against anyone, pending grand jury action."
Snyder said that the analysis made it clear that basic research in all fields and graduate student support would be affected by the funding cuts.
"Graduate student support through stipends, traineeships and research assistantships will be the other principal factors that will sustain heavy cutbacks," he said.
Work-Study program would be the least affected of the programs.
KU is now receiving $196,000 for this program and expects a cut of about $15,680. The Guaranteed Student Loan Program, which has been established subsidies from student loans from com-
Four programs have been cut out completely under Nixon's budget, a loss of more than $3.7 billion.
These programs include Title I, use of extension and continuing education for the solution of community problems; Title III, innovative programs in education; Title IV, undergraduate scientific equipment grants; and training of college teachers.
THE NATIONAL Direct Student Loan program is being eliminated, but schools will be allowed to make new loans from repayments received on old loans. KU had emergency loans in receive between $500,000 and $600,000 in federal money for this program next year.

Local Figure Salons Roll Jiggle Off Excess Inches
By ELAINE ZIMMERMAN
Kansan Staff Writer
Many people who are tired of being fat and flabby try to improve their appearance by going to a figure salon and undergoing a twice or three weekly exercise session in which inches are rolled, exercised and jugged off.
There are two such figure salons in Lawrence, the Ramada Inn Figure Salon, 6th and Iowa streets, the Body Shop, 1910 Haskell.
Figure salons operate on the principles that doing normal exercises on special equipment increases the value of the exercises, and that breaking down the fat cells by rolling or massaging eases the removal of fat.
Frances Ogle, owner of the Ramada Inn Figure salon, said recently that it was
Commission Night Meetings Urged
By CHUCK POTTER
Thirteen of the 14 candidates in Tuesday's City Commission primary election favor night commission meetings, a topic that has been dealt a deal of public attention in recent months.

Next week the commission will meet at night for the third time since a series of town meetings organized by the commission last fall. The commission initiated the night meetings after several persons requested them last fall.
The candidates entered in Tuesday's primary are Barkley Clark, 1151 Crescent Road; Robert Elder, 2636 Arkansas; John Meehan, 2636 Minnesota; 3414 Tam O'Shanter Drive; Harry Kroger Jr., 352 E. 12H; William Lemessay, 900 Arkansas; Gene Miller, 305 Arrowhead; Fred Pence, 305 Gale; Fred Pence, 415 E. 14H; Stuart, Minnesota; J.

Harry Kroeger Jr.—said that he was for
night meetings "with as many people as could be taken into a high school gym" but that the idea involved practical problems. The managers would have staff available for consultation during meetings if they are to function effectively. The managers would have to work overtime at night to meet the schedule.
William Lemesay—said he would favor night meetings about once a month if there was a larger place for the commission to meet. More responsiveness from the commission was needed, and this might be one way to get it, he said.
Gene Miller—"I definitely favor night meetings."
Mike Morrill—said that since he was a night watchman at a paper mill he would favor night meetings because they would make his job easier. He said he thought it would be a great idea to mix the location of the meetings.

possible to change the muscle structure through exercise.
"There's no reason to have big thighs just because your mother did," she said.
The figure salons in Lawrence do not operate on a membership basis, requiring an initial fee and monthly dues, as some health clubs in larger cities do. The salons have rates for short periods of time ranging from one visit to 'our times.'
Ogle said the rate for a single two-hour visit was $1.75. A three-month program comprising 40 visits cost $40. The monthly program costs $12.50 if the woman works but twice a week, and $18.50 if she works out three times a week. Ogle said.
The Body Shop usually does not offer programs shorter than four months long, and may be more expensive.
"It's bad business to let people do it for less than four months," she said. "People notice a result once one month, but if they stop, they lose it."
The Body Shop's rate is $29.50 for four months of thrice-weekly sessions, Snow said, but often there are specials and reduced rates.
She said two-month programs were available for young people and students because they had tighter muscles, and often stay in Lawrence for four months at a time.
Both salons have clients of all ages, including working women, housewives and students. Snow said that less heavy women, desiring to get rid of trouble spots, were more likely to be admitted to obese women were. Dieting with exercise yields better results. Snow and Ogle said,
Snow said vibrators and rollers brown down fatty tissue and acid lying with it that are often used in skin treatments.
Passive exercises, in which machines work on the exerciser, employ vibrators and rollers. The active exercise is the bicycle; the woman works on the machine.
The Body Shop's program was devised by a chiropractor, a weighiflitter and two doctors. Snow said, and consists of active, passive and light motion exercises.
