Pearson Issue Unsettled
By ANN McFERREN Kansan Staff Writer
The College Assembly approved an amendment Tuesday that would close the college's business with humanities Program as a fulfillment of freshman and sophomore requirements. The amendment is part of a motion that must be passed before the program is approved.
During the last three years, freshmen and sophomores in Pearson College have been involved in a variety of activities.
News Briefs By the Associated Press Econ Indexes
WASHINGTON (AP)—The government's index of leading economic indicators, billed by the Nixon administration as harbingers of broad ups and downs in the nation's economy, went up strongly last month, the Commerce Department said Tuesday.
Nevertheless, farm prices, which boosted supermarket food costs 5 per cent last year, jumped sharply again in January and a further gain in family meal budgets.
The Agriculture Department said Tuesday that farm prices rose 5 per cent from mid-December to mid-January. They were 21 per cent more than a year ago.
Pill Research
WASHINGTON—The Food and Drug Administration is keeping secret an advisory panel's recommendation on controversial morning-after birth control pills but hopes to release its findings within the next year. The agency has said its popularity among college girls despite concern that they may cause cancer. Sources close to the year-long investigation said the Obstetrics and Gynecology Advisory Council has recognized and approve postnatal use of the drug but with new labels warning doctors not to prescribe it for high-risk patients.
Polluters Bill
TOPEKA-E. Newton Vicker, Shawnee County District Court judge, rided Tuesday that existing Kansas laws governing the filing of election expense statements by candidates are unconstitutional because they are vague.
The ruling came in the case of Patricia Stevens, Prairie Village, Democratic nominee for the 28th Representative District, who was charged with failure to

Amendment OK'd
TOPEKA, Kan.—The Kansas Supreme Court upheld Tuesday constitutionality of the executive constitutional amendment by the state's voters last November.
The amendment provides the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and secretary of state four-year terms, allows the governor and lieutenant governor to run as a team and removes the state auditor and treasurer as constitutional officers.

TOPEKA, Kan.—The Kansas State gave final approval Tuesday on a 26-13 vote to a bill requiring that official department of health records on air contaminant sources be removed and the state would tend to affect adversely the competitive position of the source.
Disclosure of such records without the consent of the conseller is a misdemeasure.
The assembly approved by a 74-71 vote an amendment to a motion concerning the status of the program. The amendment requires the program open to juniors and seniors.
Neb. Norman Gaar, R-Westwood, said the bill 'probably portends the course of this session's non-responsiveness to the fouling of the our air, land and water."
Dennis Quinn, director of Pearson College, said he would challenge the legality of the amendment. Quinn said that the amendment did not pertain to the original motion and that it should have been a separate motion rather than an amendment.
The original motion would allow the Pearson program to continue temporarily as a substitute for required English 1, 2 and 3 courses.
The assembly's approval altered the motion so that if passed it would discontinue the use of the program to fulfill any of the freshman and sophomore requirements.
"They have made a freshman-sophomore program into a junior-senior program with no regard as to whether the program is intended for upper level students," Guiln said.
Don Brownstein, assistant professor of philosophy and author of the amendment, said the Pearson program presented only a narrow view in the humanities field.
"Juniors and seniors already have received other points of view from their teachers, who are providing courses," said Brownstein. "Let these students be presented with the narrow range of views in the program after they graduate." The students develop their own views from there."
The assembly meeting was recessed until
If the motion is approved, making the program open only for fulfillment of junior and senior requirements, a new freshman and more program will be deviated, Quinn said.

Members of the assembly also approved a mail ballot for a motion to form an advisory committee.

Allen said Sunday that her desire to have the name of the health center selected by the students was based on the fact that the student was being constructed with student funds.
Nichols said Tuesday that the decision to carry the name of Watkins Memorial Hospital over from the current structure to the new facility was made by him and other members of the administration. The decision was based on finance and tradition, he said.

Tuck Duncan, Wilmette, Ill., senior and Senate member, said that although the decision of the Chancellor was correct in light of the endowment wording, the administration had been wrong in not allowing a student voice in the decision.
