Students, Sellers Use Credit . . .

Charge use. It could change in the future, though." Hamilton said.
But student credit use for the most part strongly resembles that of most other people in that it is confined primarily to retail stores and gas stations.
Although many Lawrence department stores were unable to release figures on the amount of credit card business they handled, most said that their college trade was

and said that he would not give cards but was willing to open a store credit account with anyone who had a card at his local bank.
"If those companies give them credit, it's good enough for us," he said.
Don Cole, manager of the McCrystal Otasco store, 1818 Massachusetts St., said that his store did not have as much college trade as stores in other college towns, but added that about one third of his total sales volume was credit sales.
"We do lots of college business. We have charge accounts in just about every county in the state. You know, a lot of the bills are sent home to the parents, too."
"We do take Master Charge and BankAmericard," he said, "but it is a small percentage. Not very many college students would want to obtain that long enough to establish credit." Cole said.
PROBABLY THE biggest concentration of credit card use is at gas stations, particularly those near apartment areas.
"About 40 or 50 per cent of our trade is
Finance Losses To Be Reported
A report outlining federal aid losses at the University of Kansas in the wake of President Kim's proposed budget cuts for universities and universities will be released Wednesday.
Chancellor Raymond Nichols said Monday that the report, which was prepared by William Argersinger, vice chancellor for research and graduate studies, still lacked figures from the aids and awards office.
News Briefs By the Associated Press Inmate Protest
LEAVENWORTH-Warden Samuel Britton of the U.S. Penitentiary at Leavenworth refused Monday to replace the chief of food services at the prison, as inmates had asked in a list of grievances. Britton said prisoners were fed in small groups Monday and most of them chose to eat. The regular work schedule at the prison was that inmates went up once perieceal trips to the mess hall, so reports that the inmates were ready to begin a general work stoppage on top of their food boycott could not be tested.
from the college and 50 to 75 per cent of that is with credit cards," Charles Spease, manager of Tony's Phillips 66, 2434 Iowa St. said.
Gene May, manager of Jayhawk Oil Company's N. 2 station, 902 W. 23rd St., said that about half his business was college credit cards and four good three-fourths of them use credit cards.
Credit card use among students was reportedly not quite so heavy in areas farther from campus, but nearly every station cited some instance of a student using either his own or his parent's credit card for gasoline, oil or repairs.
"We get very little college trade and we get more checks than credit cards from students," said Bill Burns, manager of Deep Rock Station 1, no. 920, N. Second, SCL.
"THE ONLY TIME we have any trouble with college kids is when the semester is over and they're getting ready to leave. Then you'd be watching them," Burns said.
For many students, however, their biggest problem, despite their access to
"We try to keep care car use down," Charlene Droste, Lawrence junior, said. "But it is convenient. When you do need them, fire tires, you can buy them with no trouble."
THEODORE HOLLEMBEA, second year law student from Arkansas City, said he had a Master Charge card but threw it away.
credit cards, remains basically the same as before: a shortage of funds.
Another advantage, according to Craig Swanson, Lawrence junior, is that credit cards are often required when applying for a loan or other credit.
Talks Marred
"I figured we'd get carried away with it, and get caught up in the 18 per cent interest. Mongeonny Wards and Penney's. We probably use the Wards card almost 90 per cent of the time, mainly because we live on blocks from the store," Hollembeak said.
Mental Hospitals
"We practically never use them," he said.
"We just keep them for credit applications.

mental health profession is that they mean well. But how much do we want to tamper with individual freedom and who should be allowed when it should be done?" Stachowik said.
“IT'S VERY HARD to do because by the mere existence of institutions, the institution is placed in a role by society of taking care of deviants since it is supported by state funds. It's hard to be anything else.” he said.
"I SEE AN EVOLUTION occurring. We need to view deviance as a moral problem or sometimes as a legal problem. Now we'rending to view it in terms of illness, that means an era when we're interpreteed as an agent of behavior-in-medical terms," he said.
Stachiwaki referred to one theory by Thomas Szazs, a psychology professor at the State University of New York, that the label "mentally ill" is a myth similar to the Medieval concept that a person was possessed by demons.
Antonio said that psychiatrists were a kind of gatekeeper; they decided who would be officially labeled deviant or mentally ill. Although we are led to believe that they are experts, he said, they are not set to see the world through a certain set of concepts.
Deviant behaviors fall into three classes, Stachowka said. They are psycho-social or hostile withdrawn behavior, ethical or good and bad behavior, or legal behavior. One type of behavior is psychological symptoms are behaviors which have extreme effects on others.
Robert Antonio, KU professor of sociology, said that society was becoming more complex.
Psychiatrists look for symptoms, Antonio said, and among doctors, psychiatrists find issues in the brain.
PARIS-East-West differences clouded the start of the Vietnam peace parley Monday. The Vietnamese Communists resisted key U.S. proposals for the postwar eruption. Mitchell Sharp, foreign secretary of Canada, laid down a virtual ultimatum. Canada, he said would quit the Invasion and control of Central Supervision on April 30 unless some system could be agreed on for dealing with violations of the cease-fire. This demand won backing from U.S. Secretary of State William P. Rogers.
WASHINGTON - Israeli Prime Minister Gold Meir said Monday that she hoped there would be no repetition of the incident in which Israeli fighters shot down a Libyan jet and were such that I hope nothing like this will happen again," Mrs. Meir told a news conference on her arrival in Washington. She called the incident last week a tragedy. "The plane was "washed and shocked and there is true sorrow" in her country, she said.
--said, "He not only loses his freedom, but his
knowledge and interpretation in pathological
terror."
Ralph Nader has studied mental institutions from the viewpoint that mental patients are consumers of mental health. The Nader Report contains several recommendations about mental hospitals and increasing patient's rights.
"Mental patients, in many ways, are more constricted than any other person in the United States."
HIS FIRST recommendation was that plans be made for the eventual demise of a general hospital. It is applied to general hospitals to accept all medically ill patients, including "medically ill psychiatric" patients, who should not be segregated from other medically ill patients.
Mental patients, on the other hand, are sentenced to indefinite confinement on the basis of someone's interpretation of the law. A person may be sent into a subordinate position, but any attempt to reject or appeal the label of "mentally ill" is seen as hostility and another sympathetic response.
IN CONTRAST WITH MENTAL patients, Antonio said, there are fairly objective criteria for judging if a person is a criminal. Breaking the law is an observable action, he said, and even if the court is wrong, the owner can reject his label and appeal his case.
LOS ANGELES—The judge in the Pentagon papers trial ordered Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo each acquitted of one count of the espionage charges in their 15 count indictment Monday and scheduled the defense portion of the trial to begin today. The defense rule on two other counts which he took up submission. He refused defense requests to acquit in 11 counts of the espionage-conspiracy-theft indictment.
In addition to saying that psychiatrists should be encouraged to become practicing physicians and to apply their medical training in the most appropriate way, Nader recommended increased public support of training for paraprofessionals, volunteers and citizens in running human service programs.

He also encouraged the growth of alternatives to hospitalization, except in life-threatening cases. This would include emergency services and crisis intervention services.

WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court agreed Monday to decide if a taxpayer can challenge as unconstitutional the secrecy that clocks the financing of CIA operations. The justices also refused to reopen the abortion issue for pleas from court-appointed guardians of the unborn, and for additional medical data. The justices directed lower courts to apply their Jan. 22 decision to anti-abortion laws in nine states.

The Lawrence City Commission, in a meeting with 15 former city commissioners at the Ramada Inn Monday night, selected Mr. Hancock as chairman of the possibilities of a citizen's advisory council.
Former Commissioner Don Metzler suggested that J Crown, 403 Homestead Drive, and Ben Barteldes, 1745 Indiana St., compose a set of guidelines for the firm.
The group took an informal vote and approved the suggestion unanimously.
As outlined by Commissioner Jack Rose at that time, the duties of the council would be to carry out tasks assigned by the commission, gather public information and assist in creating good will for the city and help establish a goals program for the city.
Mayor John Emick said that the idea for the council was proposed by Crown and Barlettes about a year ago and that other members of the City Council permission from taking up the idea until now.
The possibility of the council was mentioned at last week's commission meeting as a possible outgrowth of the town meetings organized by the commission last year.
As proposed by the commission, the advisory council would be composed of former city commissioners and other citizens selected by the council.
Several former commissioners expressed concern about the possibility of sanctioning the council by way of city ordinance. The consensus seemed to be that the ordinance would result in the public viewing the rubber stamp 'for the current commission.
The group agreed that the meeting represented only a starting point towards involving the community in management of the city.
