Jackson Predicts Winter Gas Shortage
Unless U.S. motorists continue efforts to conserve fuel, they may face a 5 per cent gasoline shortage by winter, according to a report made public yesterday by Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash. The report predicted continuing problems with gasoline supplies for the next two or three years if the growth in demand results in the rate prevailing before the Arab oil embargo. The report labeled this as one of the biggest challenges in U.S. oil production and the shortage of domestic refinery capacity.

16 Dealers Supply Cars to KUAA
By RICHARD PAXSON Kanson Staff Reporter
Sixteen Kansas automobile dealers are supplying new and used cars for use by Kansas University Athletic Association (KUUA) coaches and administrators this year, according to John Novotny, assistant athletic director.
Walker Says He Won't Release Contributors' Names Yet
Novotny said yesterday that he and Clyde Walker, athletic director, had decided not to play in the playoffs.
However, Novotny did name Jim Clark Motors of Lawrence and Topeka and O'Neill Oldsmobile of Overland Park as "representative of the dealers."
Walker said he wouldn't release the list without first consulting with the dealers.
"We need to treat the people in this area the same as our other contributors." Wade said.
The dealers are members of the Jayshawk Wheels Club, "a program begun

Novello said similar programs existed at
Wichita State University and at Kansas
State University.
He said the dealers "were like other people who wanted to contribute to the athletic program. They just make their donation in the form of a car."
Novotny said the donation of the use of a car was considered equivalent to a $1,000 cash contribution, which he said was about the cost to lease similar cars for a year.
"The dealers are treated like other donors," he said, "in that they receive free training and are given."
Novtayn the donors didn't receive free tickets to athletic events. He said programs similar in some ways to the one he was running for the dealer program at Ohio State University.
Novotny said the cars were assigned to individual coaches and administrators,

The Ohio State University student newspaper had alleged that Ohio State football coach Woody Hayes gave complimentary football tickets to dealers who supplied the athletic program there with automobiles, Novotny said.
"A coach may make personal use of the cat," he said, "and this does allow many of his students to practice."

Professor Defends Space Shuttle

"It is a transportation system, similar to an airplane in function." Moore said.
Columnist Nicholas Von Hoffman recently called the space shuttle an ex-
"You must understand that there are wastes in every human activity," he said.
"I think the space program is quite worth it.
The space shuttle is a manned vehicle that takes off in the same manner as a rocket, but that will land at an airfield and, therefore, will be resuable.
According to Richard K. Moore, professor of electrical engineering at the Space Technology Center, the program is "a natural step forward."
Moore's conclusions about the space program are not purely opinion. As an advisor to NASA, he has had an opportunity to see the advantages from the inside.

"However I can, you shuttle when we started Apollo," he said.
"The space budget was around $3 billion this year, which is something like a little more than one per cent of the federal budget." The coverage that people talk about being wasted.
Student athletes aren't allowed to use the cars because the insurance cost would be too high.
Moore said that the principle of utilizing a craft that could be reused was both sensible and practical.
Moresaid he thought the space shuttle program was an important step forward.
"If a coach used his own car, he would have to be paid 13 cents a mile," Novotny said. "One football recruiter traveled 28,000 miles and an imagine how much that would cost us."
"We've got to face the face that people
we're going to and from space all the time."
The program is needed, he said, because KUAA employees don't have access to the system.
He said the users of the cars paid for gasoline with their expense account.

if a class proves unpopular, Sidman said,
it will merely be taught less often.
Sidman said the department had tried to develop a whole new approach to history, emphasizing five main topical areas of interest. What they are doing goes more to the heart of what relevance—enduring human interest—is, he said.
KU Departments Fighting . . .
From Page One
Some departments have resorted to using books, pamphlets and posters to describe the world.
He said there was a defensive attitude at NASA. Constant assaults on the space program on the basis of cost-benefit studies might not be accurate, the studies might not be accurate, he said.
"There is a dearth of large classrooms," he said.
Class sizes are limited only by the size of rooms, Sidman said.
"How do you sell quality when every emphasisizes quantity?" he asked.
He said that trying to attract students undoubtedly would lower the quality of courses offered. Degrees will become—and have become—meaningless, because students flock to the courses with the lowest demands, he said.
The history department has eliminated most prerequisites for classes. Sidman said that in the history department this could be done without a compromise of standards.
The problem of the department of anthropology is similar to that of the department of classics, he said. The classics seem hard to teach, and thus students don't take them.
Landsgrabe said the department of anthropology had been losing many of its students in recent years. But he said the department's goal did do was to try to attract more students.
LUNDSGAARDE SAID that the department of anthropology had had an emphasis on graduate studies but that it was trying to get undergraduates again. The department has dropped some prerequisites and created more easy-access classes, Lundguardian.com. New classes intended for research or intensive study are the Living and the Dead, Law and Warfare in Non-Western Cultures and Magic, Science and Religion.
The department of anthropology has a special funding problem because its students are not well trained. Lundsgaardsaire said. Thus, students enroll in anthropology courses but often take them for credit in English, East Asian studies or foreign languages. The anthropology staff is not given credit for those hours.
"These are desperate means in the interest of self-survival in terms of the warfare between departments," Lundsgaarde said.
Ron Schul, secretary in the department of German languages and literature, said he had accepted a new enrollment as expected. Because of the population decrease and because the Bachelor of General Studies degree was being offered to students, they had expected a large decrease.
He said the structure of German I to IV was changed about two years ago to give more flexibility and choice. There are also special courses in calculators of specific professions, he said.
"Cost-benefit studies are often ridiculous," he said. "Everyone's so afraid of cost-benefit lag that they do these studies over and over again."
"They're important, true, but the people in the government tend to place too much emphasis on their own interests."

The department of English has also made some changes. However, Zuther said they might prefer to go down in enrollment than can have a less than respectable program.
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT recently offered a course, The Literature of Baseball, which drew very well, he said. "Nothing won't be invited again soon, he said."
Schul said that they used such things as a German films and the Oktoberfest to show.
The curriculum has been streamlined, Zuther said. There are fewer courses and teachers available.
The department was planning to put out a course guide to be available at the time of release.
The department is planning an Adventures in English course that would give a broad overview. It would present teachers on a rotating basis and thus attract students to take other classes from the teachers, Zuther said.
In response to the criticism that the space program lacks direction and purpose, Moore said that there should not be a single program. Because that benefits were returned in vague forms.

There's no reason to.

Clark said he was unsure whether the cars were titled in the name of the University or in the name of his dealership. Mr. Duncan paid for the license tag for the car, he said.

"This would be positive publicity," he said.
"There are things such as communications of various kinds that have direct application," he said. "You can classify it as indirect or direct, but astronomy and earth observation satellites have practical uses. Military uses are obvious."

Clark said his participation in the program had it not allowed him to receive free meals.
"It was quite a decision whether we were going to continue to participate last fall when business was bad," he said. "But we will be there for 20 years—we just decided to go ahead."

Dealers are entitled to attend social functions sponsored by KUAA and to get seating preference and parking privileges at athletic events, he said.
Moore said that keeping the military and NASA independent of each other had resulted in duplication but that it was the difference in the military was to stay out of civilian operations.
"If we had the cameras and other equipment that they've been using for 15 years, wouldn't it be great?"
Come Early!
Moore said the space shuttle would serve as a "bus driver" for military satellites. The shuttle will be used to carry satelites to outspace for launching. Moore said that there would be out of NASA operations but that occasionally the satellite would be launched by the shuttle.

NORMAN YETMAN, chairman of American studies, said his department had been a major factor in his success and sophomores. He said his program was really in vogue a while ago, when students had a social science orientation. But students are more career-oriented, he told us.
He said American studies had available more faculty now and could offer varied courses. The undergraduate program has also been revised, he said.
