U.S. Finishes Plans For POW Welcome
SAIGON (AP)—The United States announced Tuesday the withdrawal of 2,000 more troops and completed plans to welcome the first homebound American host, the prisoners are expected to be released from North and South Vietnam by the weekend.
Ambassader Michel Gauvin of Canada, chairman of the International Commission for Control and Supervision, told newsmen the first American prisoners would be detained about Saturday, some in Haiti and others a probably two sites in the Sagou region.
Canadian members of international patrol teams have compared the captives from the last place to the captives from the first place.

Shortly after the first group of Americans is released, Gauvin said, Vietnamese prisoners will be freed or exchanged in South Vietnam.

In addition to Hanoi, Guangnian mentioned two potential release sites. One was An Loc, the devastated provincial capital 60 miles away from Hanoi. The battles of the war were fought last summer
and where the last American died before the cease-fire took effect.
Chancellor Interviewing Still on Open Stage
"If the regents notify the person in April and the person gives six months notice to his employers, it would be October before he could come here."
The second was Piu Hao, in Commistin- controlled territory along the Siang River corridor north of the South Vietnamese capital.
The Campus Advisory Committee for the selection of a new chancellor is in the initial phase of interviewing candidates for the position.
University of Kansas Chancellor Raymond Nichols said Tuesday that he could possibly remain in office until October.
"If the person selected is presently at another academic institution, he presumably will have to give his present employers some notice." Nichols said.
"Because of the time element involved, it is possible but not probable." he said.
Nichols said if the Kansas Board of Regents, which will make the final decision on the selection, chose a new chancellor in the fall, probably not a take office until next fall.
American officials said prisoners released in Hanoi would be flown directly to the medical center at Clark Air Base in the Philippines for doctors and 100 nurses were awaiting them.
Rick Von Ende, acting executive secretary and secretary for the committee, said last week that the initial interviewing would probably end late this month. He said the second phase of the interview process would probably take most of March.

time would be of great benefit to the new man.
"It would be to the new man's advantage to be here by then, because he must acquaint himself with the staff and the procedures of this University," he said.
Former chancellor W. Clarke Wesco resigned from the position in the spring of 1969 but he announced his resignation at the 1980 redevocation, the fall of 1984, giving the university a new face.
Nichols said this forewarning gave the search committee that a year a jump on the number of incidents.
Chalmers was selected by the Board of Regents in February 1969, Nichols said, and was ready to step into the office when Wescoe left.
Nicholls will be 70 on Dec. 29, which is the mandatory retirement age for administrators in Kansas. He said he doubted it would be asked to remain chancellor until then.
CHALMERS RESIGNED without notice in 1972, after he and his wife were divorced.
"I will remain if the new chancellor requests my help," Nichols said. "But if he does not, I will retire immediately after he comes into office."
U. S. representatives to the Joint Military Commission's committee or prisoners met for three hours for the fourth successive day with North Vietnamese, South Vietnamese and Viet Cong delegates to iron out details for the POW reenlistment.
The official North Vietnamese news agency reported that U.S. military officials in Haiphong met for the first time with North Vietnamese military representatives Monday to discuss sweeping U.S. mines from North Vietnamese waters.
Four U.S. Navy minesweepers were ordered Tuesday to begin clearing an anchorage 35 miles off Haiphong to serve as a base of operations to clear out the mines which the United States pledged to do in the Paris cease-fire agreement.
The South Vietnamese government announced it had gone along with Washington and Hanoi in agreeing on Paris as the site of a peace conference. Feb. 26 to guarantee peace in Vietnam. A communique from the South Vietnamese Foreign Ministry said South Vietnam previously had been reluctant to accept the agreement, at the peace-signing ceremony Jan. 27.
China, the Soviet Union, Britain, France,
the four signatories of the Vietnam peace agreement and the four nations on the International Commission for Control and Supervision are to attend. The commission comprises Canada, Poland, Hungary and
Germany. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim of the United Nations also is invited.
A few hours after the joint announcement of the conference date and site, the White House said that Kissinger would stop in Laos Friday to check on prospects for a Laotian cease-fire before heading to Hanoi Saturday for four days of talks.

"We didn't have to so we're not going to," said Charles Rogers, operations manager of Philadelphia International Airport, in discussing the guard situation. He said city officials had put up about 100 stations at the airport but now would await the outcome of further court action.
The posting of armed guards at departure checkpoints is required under the second security plan, which allows hours before the plan was to go into effect, U.S. District Court Judge John Smith in Washington ordered a 10-day delay in enforcing the new plan and set Feb. 13 for further court proceedings.

CUSTER, S.D. (AP)—Twenty-one women were arrested and more were being sought, after a club-swinging battle between police and an estimated 200 Indians ended in downtown Custer Tuesday, Custer County sheriff Ernest Penin said.
State Fire Marshal Joe Egger said fires had been set at the courthouse, at a chamber of commerce building across the street and at a Standard Oil bulk plant.
He said fire damage to the courthouse, a two-story landmark, was limited to the front hallway where Indians had ignited fires in the building. The fire was expensive throughout the building.
One of the Indians arrested, AIM leader Russell Means, was hospitalized for what appeared to be a broken arm. At least one other Indian was treated for injuries, and several other injured Indians were helped from the scene by their companions.
PEPIN SAID that the town was quiet Tuesday night but that citizens were edge. Mr. Pepin said
"We're patrolling the streets right now to what we've got left in the way of Indiana."
He said that it was possible that about 100 deputies would be involved in the deal.

Boating at Clinton Debated
By DIANE YEAMANS
Kansan Staff Writer
Boating became a point of controversy in the plans for development of Clinton Reservoir considered at the meeting of the Council on Water Rights night at the South Park Recreation Center.
About 110 persons attended the meeting. The group was divided on whether Clinton Reservoir should be developed into multi-use facility or left in its natural environment.
Ed Dishier, chief of the recreation section of the Corps of Engineers, said the corps must consider the needs of all the people who would be using the lake, not just the residents of Lawrence and Douglas county.
The corps is leaning toward dividing the lake into two boating zones, Dishner said. The area near the dam is more open and would be appropriate for the use of high power motor boats, he said. The arms of the lake, could be limited to row boats or motor boats of limited horsepower, he said, with access to a boat ramp that allowed in specific areas where fish would spawn or where other wildlife might be endangered.

Rebecca Coan, representing the League
Local input into the final decision on
inton Reservoir- development was
authenticated.
George Coggins, chairman of the Sierra Club, said the club would like to see total access to the park limited and boating eliminated.
Coggins said that an extremely large number of people would come from Johnson, Sedgwick and Shawne counties for boating, and that it would not take long for the natural environment of Clinton to be extensively harmed if not destroyed.
RICHARD RUPPERT, associate professor of economics, said a new concept for park planning could be in order. He was one of the architects and one or two compatible recreations such as motor boating at Perry Lake and sailing, camping and camping at Clinton. This would eliminate much of the confusion and stress that new experience at the lake lakes, he said.
of Women Voters, said the league would like to see a citizens group with representatives from the various local organizations involved in the examination of the lake's development. She also said a referendum or opinion poll to be conducted might motil of all the people should be considered.
Nancy Hambleton, city commissioner, and Barkley Clark, Douglas County Planning Commission chairman, said an opinion poll could be very valuable in the making the final decision on the development.
Dishairer said the corps would not be opposed to such a poll but that open meetings were allowed. Many of the nurses were used to get some idea of the needs and desires of the community. A good deal of valuable information has come from previous meetings, he said, and information will continue to grow.
COGINS SAID the natural environment of the lake could best be preserved if access was limited. Nothing is wrong with setting up a lake, but that doesn't stop people who could use the park, he said.
Another problem is planning the number and direction of roads leading to Clinton.
Clark said the planning commission was concerned with the amount of traffic that
