from the department of Health, Education and Welfare. According to Bob St. John, Salina senior, five more studio rooms and a master control room are to be constructed at KANU. St. John said that each of the studio rooms would contain both taping and broadcasting equipment. He said that completion was a news, taping and broadcasting room. This room will be completed in about 3 weeks.
John Zimbrick, assistant professor of radiation biophysics, spends part of his day cuing up records in the new studio at KANU. The equipment in the studio, which was purchased for $18,000, cost at $18,000. The money for the new equipment came from a federal grant of $11,000.
Former City Employe Gets 3-Year Probation
Robert L. Beech, convicted Feb. 9 of misusing public funds, was sentenced to spend three years on probation and be released. Douglas County District Court Thursday.
Beech, former Lawrence city water department collection supervisor, had pleaded nolo contendre (no contest) to the charges.
Judge Frank Gray of Division I said he probated a mandatory one-to-10-year sentence for Beech because he had no prior knowledge of the crime, chose not to impose a prohibitive $1.50 fee.
Before the sentence was passed, Beech's lawyer, Robert Oyley, told the judge that statements made Tuesday by city commission candidate Gene Miller were "not authorized" and were "definitely denied" by the defendant.
Miller had charged that Beech was used as a "scapegoat" and was "railroaded" out of office to cover up a disappearance of $2,640.73 in city funds. Miller also said that Beech had acted under orders of the government when he "was making loans," with this money.
MILLER ALLEGED that Beech had received threatening phone calls and had not been defended adequately in court. He urged the City Commission to use its influence to initiate a grand jury investigation of the charges.
"We did not authorize Mr. Miller to make these statements," Oyler said. "We deny that we ever did ask for a grand jury investigation."
"Mr. Beech," he said, "has never accused any of his superiors" of threatening him or missing funds. "We don't see any need for a grand jury on this case.
"The defender doesn't even know Mr Miller," Oyler said.
Oyler said Beeched nolo contendere because he and his wife had been ill and
could not afford a costly defense. Beech suffered a heart attack several months ago and his wife has been a semi-invalid since she had a stroke about five years ago.
Discrimination Is Topic At Haskell Assembly
OYLER SAID his client chose to make his statement so that the statements from Miller would not adversely affect his sense and so that public records would be accurate.
By PAT BREITENSTEIN Kansan Staff Writer
A new method for combating discrimination against Indians was outlined before an assembly of more than 100 Junior College students Monday afternoon.
Speaking to the students in the Haskell Auditorium, Carl Johnson, assistant director of the Lawrence Department on Human Resources, explained the function of his department and enumerated some of the events encountered by Indians in Lawrence.
"I feel that the white public does not see that Indians live in Lawrence, Kansas," said Sue St. John.
He said that Haskell was like a glorified reservation in which the Indians were separated from the town. The college and town were divided, and the people made known to the townspeople, he said.
When confronted with discrimination, Indian students should report it to their student senate, Johnson advised. The student senate will then refer the matter to the Lawrence Human Resources Department.
Johnson told the students not to be cautious about reporting these problems.
People are hesitant about being spec. when reporting discrimination because they do not want to get involved, Johnson said. He explained that he spoke out about these problems, he said.
When people in Lawrence see an Indian they say things and react in a particular way which, Johnson said, would make him feel unwelcome.
"We will have to sacrifice ourselves in dealing with problems of discrimination," he said. "It is our duty to deal with these problems."
"Because you live in Lawrence, you become a part of this city," he said.
Johnson explained the relationship between his human resources department, an official branch of the city government, and the city police force. He advised a advisory board to the city commission.
Johnson said that human relations commissions have been in use in the United States for the last 10 or 15 years. One of the problems they have customarily faced is having little real power. They are designed as a means of communications between the city government and some of its minority constituents.
With the establishment of a human resources department in Lawrence, the city has become more effective in opposing discrimination, he said. The department is an administrative and investigatory agency for the Human Rights Commission.
Johnson criticized the recent women's rights movement and the Nixon administration for adding to the problems of racial minorities.
"I don't think that all women should be lummed in one class." Johnson said.
Some firms justify their hiring practices by biring white women instead of members of the workforce.
He noted a distinction between the problem faces by white women and those by black women.
Many white Americans feel that minority groups should be happy with the results of the civil rights movement of the past 10 years, he said. But the first budget cuts Washington decreased funds for those programs designed to help minority groups.
Johnson said that minority groups must stick together now to fight the problems of disaffiliation.
31 Contracts For Funding Not Finished

According to a Traffic and Security report, Koin Keith, Topeka freshman, was studying on a bed in a fifth-floor Oliver Hall room at about 10:30 Wednesday evening when she heard something break.
Antenna Prods Investigation
The lower, which gives the dark interior space, has a stairway leading to the third floor. At Aloft, there are several private bathrooms used during the summer months. The bathroom with special window seats on the third floor is also custom-made.
If you have never been inside the Castle Two Room, come and dine in the only restaurant in Lawrence with such a beautiful historical and cultural background. The only way to really enjoy it is by staying at one of its many bedrooms.
There are five beautiful interiors in the house, each with a unique design with various colored walls. The first one is a white room with glittered glass window and door of my house. A retreat cluster of mirrors and stained glass window above the glowing windows gives an elegant effect.
She said she looked up but did not see anything, so he got up to look around and discovered 5 inches of a car antenna sticking through the window. She then notified Traffic and Security, who investigated the incident.
Each of the fifteen rooms of the Castle is in a different type of wood. The dining rooms currently in use are elegantly finished in birch, cherry, oak, walnut and sycamore and pine. The wood carving was all tilted by hand by Sobey Endacott of England, a brother of Frank Witherington. He used an artist's sculptor and artist and some of his work is in the drawing room of the Lord Holmfield Hall.
Summer of '42 A novel by Herman Raucher
The Castle was built in 1894 as a home for J. N. Roberts, a central Civil War general. He was a man of great wealth with an income from patients on wooden containers carved in the shape of castles.
