Two Sides Reject AURH Intervention in Fund Furor
By CAROLYN OLSON
Kansas Staff Writer
Two parties involved in a controversy involving the alleged misuse of funds by the dean of women's office said Sunday they were rejecting intervention by the Association of University Residence Halls (AURH).
Eminely Taylor, dean of women, said in an interview Friday that she would not reply to the AUHR request issued Thursday for a request to take care of the woman's residence hall library fund.
"I will talk with representatives of AURH concerning allegations that I have misused funds." Taylor said, "But I will not refund $1,000 to them."
Representatives of the five halls under Taylor's jurisdiction for Friday afternoon with Tayler to discuss the refund request and the new financial account 400,000 in the women's residence hall account.
THE ACCOUNT had accumulated from a five-per-cent rebate from vending machines, which was established in the residence halls in the 1854-60 school year,
Greg Brown, Leawood sophomore and an
Oliver Hall representative to Taylor's meeting Friday, said the majority of students in women's residence halls under the guidance of AURH in intervention by AURH in the controversy.
Pam Meador, graduate assistant at Corbin Hall and Hutchinson first-year law student, said the women at Gertlebr Sellards Pearson Hall (GSP) and Corbin seemed to prefer dealing with Taylor rather than taking the act as their mediator in the controversy.
Taylor said she had specifically asked the residence hall representatives to meet with her instead of with the AURH representatives.
"I don't really feel the residence hall library fund is a concern of AURH," she said. "It only concerns the students in the five halls under my jurisdiction."
THE REPRESENTATIVES at Friday's meeting were to explain the library fund to the residents of each hall and then report back to her Thursday, Taylor said.
certain questioned expenditures from the women's residence hall account.
Thomas said Thursday night at the AURH Residents' Assembly meeting that if Taylor ignored the $1,000 refund request, he would complain to the University Judiciary.
Alex Thomas, AURH president and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, senior, said Saturday that he would ask Taylor to meet with the AURH executive board Wednesday night to explain
Brown said most residents of Oliver didn't want Taylor to reward the $1,000 she used to buy her clothes.
Mary Haddican, Satanta junior and the Lewis Hall representative, said she was in favor of Taylor's refunding the $1,000 to the general library account.
"I hate to see Lewis Hall deprived of anything," Haddican said. "Taylor said we librarians representatives wanted her to refund the $1,000. she would."
TAYLOR SAID that the Women's Resource Library was funded by the residence hall rebate and by the Commission on the Status of Women. She said the Women's Condition was considering the relocation of the Women's Resource Library in her office.
She established the Women's Resource Library two years ago when there was just so much money not being used in the residence hall library account. Taylor said.
"But under no circumstances will I break up the second largest career library in the world."
representatives want the $1,000 back that I used to establish the career library then. I used it as a tool for
"I take full responsibility for taking the money from the residence hall account for the career library," Taylor said. "Our main business in the dean of women's office is women. So I decided a women's library was appropriate."
REPRESENTATIVES FROM AURH have accused Taylor of violating students' rights in taking the money from the case hall fund without consulting AURH.
Taylor denied that any students' rights been violated by not asking AURH for permission.
"AURH can't speak for the five hives I have under my jurisdiction," Taylor said. "It also represents halls administered by the dean of men's office."
The students at Friday's meeting didn't think their rights were being infringed upon in the course of their work.
Taylor presented the library representatives two proposals Friday: either let her keep the library rehearsal in a community center, or let the library hire the halls administer the money themselves.
"They didn't seem disissatisfied with the career library at all." Taylor said.
"I THINK the representatives from the balls will tell Taylor Thursday that they would like to administer the funds themselves." Brown said.
Meador will go before the Corbin hall council Wednesday night and ask whether the hall wants the $9,000 rebate money divided equally among the libraries of the halls or given to each hall on a per capita basis.
Meador said that under the per capita system, the residents of Oliver, the largest hall under Taylor, would receive a large comparison to women at GSP or Corbin.
"I don't subscribe to the theory that some residence hall occupants should be deprived of goods and services while others have more than they need by the allocation of funds strictly on a per capita basis," Taylor said.
DONALD ALDERSON, dean of men, said that for each men's hall, regardless of its size, five per cent of its vending machine money was put into a separate account in the student organization section of the controller's office.
Rebates from the men's residence halls—McCollum, Ellsworth, Templin and Joseph R. Pearson—range from $20 to about $100 a month. Alderson said.
Taylor said that she opposed the system of handling the rebates employed by the dean of men's office. She gave the library representatives of the women's residence halls the opportunity to change the system Friday, she said.
One Oliver resident last year voiced objection to having to pay for a fund that bought women's magazines, John Beissner, Maurer and Salina sophomore, said Sunday.
"I'M NOT PERSONALLY upset with men have to provide funds to buy feminist literature. Bolster. Butaylor just have to invest studied data taking the funds for the career library."
The library has more than 400 books,

French Pilot Unqualified Israel Says
TEL AVIV (AP)—The Israeliis said Sunday that they found the license of the French pilot who飞了Libyan jetliner downed last week in the Sinai Desert, and that the license did not qualify him as a pilot for that type of aircraft.
Rights Proposed For Mental Patients
The government also said it would offer payment to families of victims in the air tragedy—but as a gentence of kindness, not as admission of Israel guilt.
A government press office statement said the pilot, Capt. Jacques Bourges, was qualified only as a coilot for a French Caravelle jetliner and several propeller-
A communique from the weekly Israeli cabinet session said, "In deference to humanitarian considerations, the government resolves its readiness to effect exegiza payments to the families of the victims."
The Libyan craft was a trijet Boeing 727 which, theIsraeli claimed, was not listed in the list.
A spokesman said the word "compensation" was deliberately not used because it would imply "israeli guilt for the terrorists." Ex gratia means "out of kindness."
The Cabinet said that they had received no requests for an international inquiry into the incident, but that they were making available to "competent international factors any information available to Israel concerning the intercession of the plane."
The Cabinet communique said the government "took note" of a military investigation into the crash and Chief of Staff Elazar Elzars's decision to shoot at the airliner.

Israeli warplanes fired on the Libyan jetliner last Wednesday, forcing it to crash land after the airliner strayed off course and flew over Israeli military positions along the Suez Canal. Of the 113 persons died. Bourges was among the victims.

POW Release Stalled
SAIGON (AP) —The list of the next group of American prisoners of war to be freed will not be delivered to U.S. representatives today, a fact there will no prison release on Tuesday, the chief North Vietnamese spokesman in Saigon said today.
The United States expected the release of the second group of FOWs on Tuesday because it is the midway point between the signing of the cease-fire on Jan. 28 and the start of the war in Afghanistan. American prisoners and for the withdrawal of all American forces from South Vietnam.
But after morning meetings of the four-party Joint Military Commission and its subcommission on prisoners, the North Vietnamese spokesman, Bül Tin, told
"ON YOUR SIDE, we are all ready for the next release, but we are waiting for the chiefs of delegations to discuss the question. Also, we are waiting for the decision of Hanoi on the exact time and number of POWs to be released."
The Viet Cong, he added, is also waiting for a decision from its Provisional Revolutionary Government on the release of the map of American prisoners in South Vietnam.
"There will definitely not be any POW"
"There will definitely not be Tian."
"There will be no last job."
He added that he hoped to have a decision soon from Hanoi.
The Communists failed on Sunday to submit the list or to fix specific times and places for the releases in North and South Vietnam.
THEY GAVE NO official reason, but they were embittered by attacks by South Vietnamese mobs on two North Vietnamese forces which resulted in injuries to nine persons.
Seven North Vietnamese delegates to the military commission and two South Vietnamese policemen were reported injured. Bui Tin, chief spokesman for the North Vietnamese delegation, said tour Comisar delegates were seriously wounded at Hue.

The Campus Advisory Committee for the selection of a new chancellor met Sunday in a crucial session to narrow the field of candidates for the position, according to Richard Von Ende, acting executive secretary and secretary for the group.

The committee, which is to recommend five finalists to the Board of Regents, started the first phase of interviewing early this month with 25 candidates. A four-man committee of 18 candidates in Washington, D.C., Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City and San Francisco.
Von Ende would not say how many candidates were selected and the information received after the meeting.
Vor Ende said Sunday that the subcommittee members were Jacob Kleinberg.

Indeed, the use of credit cards is becoming as much a way of life for many people as any of the above items. More and more, people are charging such routine commodities as clothing, gasoline and even food.
drilled? Need shoes for the kids? No cash and the tax deadline coming fast.
All these problems and more, as millions of Americans are discovering, can be swiftly and simply solved with one little item—the credit card.
Although it is only within the last 10 years that the use of credit cards has really mushroomed, credit cards are actually not a new idea. Retail credit has existed in the United States since colonial times and is one of the chains were offering charge cards as early as 1914.
Such a trend, as numerous economic experts believe, may signify the beginning of a recession.
As the cards' popularity increased, other types of businesses began to employ them.
Railroads and airlines began to issue the
cards in 1947, and two years later travel and entertainment cards were begun as the first Diners' Clubs cards were issued. Others included Cards of Origin, Cards Blanche and American Express.
But perhaps the most important development came in 1951 when the Franklin National Bank in Franklin Square, N.Y., initiated the first bank credit-credit
Under this arrangement, the holder of a credit card issued by the bank was billed monthly by the bank for accumulated purchases made with the card. There was no additional charge on the amount owed if it was paid within 30 days of the billing date, but the balance after that date became a monthly service charge of 1¼ percent.
An increasing number of banks saw this as a successful method to draw more money. The Chase Manhattan Bank, bank-credit systems sprang up throughout the country. The Chase Manhattan Bank of New York City developed its own system, and the Bank of America in San Francisco

Vietnam.
RELIABLE INFORMANTS said the presence of the antiaircraft missiles was detected by U.S. reconnaissance flights and that such operations were continuing in South Vietnam. But the sources said they did not interpret this reconnaissance activity as a violation of the cease-fire agreement.
At the meeting, the South Vietnamese as at this point had been established within the past 40 years.
The U.S. Command announced today that the withdrawal of American forces from Vietnam was slightly more than 50 per cent completed at the halfway mark of the 60-day deadline set for withdrawal and prisoner release.
The announcement was an apparent prod at the Communists, who have released only about one-fourth of the American prisoners in Iraq due to the cease-fire agreement was signed.
AS OF MIDNIGHT Sunday, U.S. troops strength in Vietnam stood at 11,724 compared with 23,500 when the pact was signed in Paris.
Tin said, however, that he did not think the demonstrations would affect the American prisoner release, expected Tuesday according to U.S. reckoning.
Although declaring that South Vietnam was now on the verge of a very dangerous situation, Tin said that North Vietnam was under attack and that the peace agreement and the protocols.
He indicated that one major problem still unresolved was a dispute between the Communists and the Saigon government and the release of Vietnamese civilian prisoners.
"WHILE WE SUMPATHEZ with the families of the American POWs, I want to remind you that here in Vietnam there are thousands of families waiting for their kin to receive the attention," Tin said. "We want to satisfy this sentiment and bring them back together."
"We are still expecting the list tomorrow," he said.
Maj. Gen. Daniel James, a top spokesman at the Pentagon, refused to tie the delay in the war to his own plan.
James said he understood that North Vietnamese and Viet Cong representatives in Saigon told Maj. Gen. Gilbert Woodward, the chief U.S. representative on the Joint Military Commission, that they were not a large number of people in the field. Other sources expressed the view that the Communists were "playing games with us."
U. S. SPOKESMEN said that according to the U.S. timetable, a list of about 140 POWs should have been handed over Sunday and the prisoners released on Tuesday. They added, however, that if the United States received the list today and got agreement on times and sites, they probably would still get the prisoners out Tuesday.
"They are trying to humiliate us, making us sweat it out," said one U.S. source. "This is the way they do it, wait until the last minute because they lose leverage on us every time they release more prisoners," he said.
