The Student Senate passed a resolution Wednesday night, supporting the Association of University Residence Halls in the effort to improve the use of student residence hall funds.
The senate also approved a resolution calling for implementation of two bills passed by the senate Feb. 16, 1972, that require students living in residence halls and an amendment to the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct that would place funds designated as residence activity funds on each residence hall governing board.
A report from the Transportation Committee on the history of the campus bus system and proposals for its operation was written with little discussion by the senate.
The committee, which will be appointed by David Dillon, student body president and Hutchinson senior, will comprise eight to twelve members chosen from the Housing Committee, the Student Rights Committee and submit a report to the senate by April 10.
A bill proposing major changes in the procedure for allocating senate funds was tabled by the Finance and Auditing Committee, which passed and preceded the senate meeting. The committee requested that the author of the bill, Gus Dizgezzo, Lawrence graduate student, be appointed as a co-chairman.
Transportation Committee member Kathy Allen, Topeka junior and student body vice president, told the senate that the report was not recommending the proposed bus pass system at this time because further study was needed on it.
Barbie Downer, Topeka senior and chairman of F&A, announced that the committee would no longer accept requests for funding during the current fiscal year unless the committee's time would be needed to acquire a history of items purchased during the year.
Dower also asked for an allocation of $350 for F&I to hire two students at $1.60 an hour to help the committee complete the inventory.
In other business, the senate approved a petition to the chancellor and the Board of Regents asking for permission to treat nonstudent spouses and children in their care. The senate also instructed nonstudents are not allowed to be treated by a doctor in University facilities.
Dillon, who voted against the allocation,
said he thought that FKA should have been able to do the inventory themselves but that since they had not, outside help should be
"It's a monstrous task that we don't feel can be accomplished by the members of our group."
A resolution to request the chancellor and the Board of Regents to approve the placing of plaques in Wesco Hall and the new student health center was passed by acclamation. The plaques will note the contributions of students to the two buildings.
A proposed amendment to the Senate Rules and Regulations allowing graduate students to miss more senior meetings than regular students was approved by the graduate school class.液 was voted down.
The allocation was approved by a wide margin.
"This bill represents a 111 per cent increase or 118 million new dollars—the source of which no one knows," Steinger bolsted the Senate, adding that the bill would "increase future legislatures to the same frantic search" for funds as in previous sessions.
received stinging criticism Wednesday from Steinerge and a Republican senator, Ed Reilly of Leavenworth. Both charged that the bill was "fiscally irresponsible" and would trigger a tax increase in the near future.

POWs to Be Freed, Rogers Reassured
PARIS (AP)—Secretary of State William P. Rogers won unconditional assurances Wednesday from North Vietnam that it soon released prisoners, an U.S. spokesman reported.
At the same time, American and North Vietnamese diplomats headed toward agreement on terms of a declaration to give the United States authorization to the month-old Vietnam peace accord.
In a day of hectic backstage diplomacy, there also were signs to suggest that the Vietnamese Communists sought and got promises of greater security for Communist peacekeeping delegates in South Vietnam from the Saigon government.
The Communist side had been expected to release a second group of more than 100 U.S. prisoners of war early this week in keeping with the Jan. 27 Paris agreement on Vietnam. In holding up the release, the Communists said that the other side was not willing to cease fire and was failing to provide for the safety of the Communist peacekeepers.
By North Vietnamese reckoning, 422 American prisoners remain to be released.
American prisoners remain to be released.
A pattern of compromise appeared to have emerged the prisoner issue, but Robert J. McCloskey spokesman for the U.S. delegation, said that Rogers had made no bargain with North Vietnam. Rogers was given North Vietnamese assurances on prisoner releases during a 30-minute session with Foreign Minister Nguyen Duy Trinh, McCloskey is.
As the two were meeting, a conference was taken place between the foreign ministers of Germany and regimes, Tran Van Lam of Saigon and Mrs. Nguyen Tini Bhich of the Viet Cong's Provisional Revolutionary Government. There was some concern to know what was discussed between them.
Rogers, Trinh, Larn and Mrs. Bihn came together at the International Conference Center in downtown Paris and discussed the work of the Viet Cong to suspend prisoner releases.
Rogers was under President Nixon's orders to sort out the prisoner issue before transacting any new business in a 12-nation conference in Paris that is expected to endorse the Vietnam peace agreement by the weekend.
Earlier Wednesday, the United States had pulled a Navy minesweeping force away from the southern coast of Libya.
drawals from South Vietnam in moves to force the Communist side to resume fighting.
The actions were taken hours before the White House announced it had "every expectation" that Haniou would release more information about the prisoners of war sometime this week.
The actions came as the international body policing the Vietnam cease-fire showed the first signs of a major split over the war and took a look into alleged violence violations by Hanoi.
A spokesman for the U.S. delegation to the four-party Joint Military Commission said the charges of cease-fire violations and insurgency in Syria were a "serious strain" on the peace agreement.
Underscoring the souring atmosphere, the chief U.S. delegate issued what was interpreted as a threat of air attacks against Communist missile sites that the United States charged had been set up in violation of the cease-fire.
Maj. Gen. Gilbert N. Woodward warned that the United States “reserves the right with its allies to take such actions as it may choose.” The Vietnamese refused to dismantle them.
North Vietnam has denied the missiles came down from the North since the ceasefire, saying the Viet Cong had SAM2 rifles in the far northern area for some times.

Ten Held Hostage At Wounded Knee
There were no reports of injuries. Federal officers at the scene refused to discuss the gunfire and whether it had been returned. An unidentified Bureau of Indian Affairs was at Wounded Knee at the time of the shootings, the authorities had not reported the shots.
WOUNDED KNEE, S.D. (AP)—About 200 Indians, demanding to see two U.S. senators, held 10 persons hostage Wednesday and blocked off this tiny community. Some of the civilians were cars which came too close and added that the shots were returned by authorities.
Spokesmen for the Indians said a caease fire had been arranged with the FRI.
The takeover of the community, site of a bloody battle between the cavalry and Sioux in 1890, began at about 9 p.m., Lawrence time, Tuesday. By the middle of the afternoon Wednesday, an FBI spokesman in Washington said, "The Indians are in the town, hostages are there, blockouts are up, the demands are the same."
Clyde Bellecour of Minneapolis, a leader of the American Indian Movement (AIM), said the exchange of gunfire occurred when he and his team crossed the finish line as came within a quarter of a rule of the
Camp said the hostages would not be hurt unless authorities who had surrounded the camp were freed.
The Indians, including members of AIM and of the Oglala Sioux tribe, held nine members of one family and a Roman Catholic priest. They demanded that Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts and Sen. J. W. Flaubright of Arkansas; both were 200-second members 2.500-seconds Pine Ridge Reservation to discuss the Indians' grievances.
Fulbright, contacted in Little Rock, Ark., said, "I would do anything to help clear up the situation," but added that he had received no formal request for assistance. He also said, "This is one of those things that I don't know much about and I think I should get some advice from some official people in government."
Carter Camp of Ponca City, Okla., a national coordinator of AIM, said warning shots were fired by Indians at a low-flying airplane, but claimed it was not hit. Camp said the cease-fire was agreed upon before 1 p.m., Lawrence time.

Kennedy could not be reached immediately for comment.
The University of Kansas reported that this semester was its first decrease in enrollment since World War II, Chancellor Ravmond Nichols said Wednesday.
The spring 1973 enrollment total is 19,026 as compared to last spring's total of 19,115.
Nichols said the one-half per cent decrease did not surprise him.
Kelly said 617 students enrolled late spring as compared to 789 last spring.
“In fact,” he said, “I was pleasantly injured to hear that there was a larger degree of severity.”
There was a decrease of 104 students at the Lawrence campus compared to last year.
Of the total spring enrollment figure, 17,528 students are enrolled at the Lawrence campus; 1,500, at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City.
The spring enrollment figure of 17,268 at the Lawrence campus is a decrease of 1,020 students from the fall enrollment figure of 18,546. Kelly said.
four students at the Medical Center, Kelly said.
The trouble allegedly started when the Indians broke into a trading post in the town 140 miles southeast of Rapid City and armed themselves with weapons and supplies.
In a related report released Wednesday, two KU professors, Kenneth Anderson and George B. Smith, professors of education, have said the enrollment would increase to 19,740 by 1978.
Anderson and Smith prepared the report for the State Education Commission. They will describe how the institution determines the enrollment projections at the six state colleges and universities, Washburn University at Topeka, 19 community junior colleges and 17 four-year in-state institutions.
According to the study of the state-supported institutions, only KU, Kansas State University and Wichita State University will have increased enrollments.
A housing survey of about 60 apartment complexes in Lawrence, compiled by the Consumer Protection Agency (CPA), will be available to University of Kansas students by the end of March, according to Pat Weiss, CPA manager of research and education.
Weiss said the survey would list information about the sizes of available apartments, rents, security deposits, length of lease agreements and payment of utility bills.
The demands included an investigation of the dealings of the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Indian Affairs with the Odia Sultan. They also sought an investigation into a corruption case tribunal chairman Richard Wilson, who has feuded with AIM members in the past.
The survey also will indicate whether the apartment complex allows pets and whether the apartments have laundry facilities, air conditioning, dish washers, fire places, carpeting, club rooms or swimming pools.
The survey will provide basic information about complexes with 10 or more apartments to make apartment hunting in schools and students and incoming faculty, Weiss said.

Weiss said that copies of the survey would not be free, but that the price would be determined by printing costs. CFA members may buy copies to buy copies at a reduced cost, she said.
copies of the survey to send to new students. The CPA is also making comparative price studies of some Lawrence businesses and services such as television repair and cleaning, laundry, handie craft repair shops, banks and dentists. Weiss said. This information will probably be available at the end of the semester, she said.
Complaints

The system of garbage collection in Lawrence has received a large number of complaints. Some citizens said that the garbage collectors were either too hard on
the trash cans or missed picking up the trash all together. One of the most common complaints is that the collectors do not empty the trash cans completely, and instead fill them with garbage throughout the city to gather the trash twice a week for each household.
