4 Wednesday, July 17, 1974 University Daily Kansan Highway Officials Call for 60 M.P.H. Limit Sav Accident Rate Wouldn't Rise; Motorists Average 59.7 By MIKE HOLLAND Kansan Staff Reporter The speed limit should be raised from 55 miles an hour to 60, according to several studies. Col. William Albott of the Kansas Highway Patrol in Topeka and yesterday that "I think you'll see the law being changed," Albett said. "We'll never see 70 miles an hour again, but according to a survey we took during the month of July, the majority of motorists averaged 59.7 miles an hour." "The present speed limit is too slow for this part of the country," he said. "I believe its feasible to have both speed and safety at 60 miles an hour." Abbott said there was a slight increase in limit violations during the month of "Our units are strictly enforcing the speed limit," he said. "We keep a running account of our Abbott said there was a direct correlation between the slower speed limit and the decrease in fatalities since the law went into effect April 1. French President Creates Dept. on Status of Women PARIS (AP)—France created a cabinet-level department yesterday to look after the status of women. Named as its first head, the minister said she rejects the notion of sexual equality. President Valery Giscard d'Estaina appointed Professor Giandrue, 57, to head a department dealing with "la condition feminine," the problems of women in a society oriented by law and tradition toward men. Giroud, who has two children, is publisher of the weekly news magazine *1* Express, the country's largest. She wrote in the magazine that Gisdard *Estailing* earlier offered her a subcabinet level post, but that she turned it down. Running the department will be a challenge, Gliard said. From Joan of Arc to Marie Antinetea, women always have been underrepresented in the Napoleonic system of law has limited their legal preogatives, particularly in relation to their husbands. Although some inequities have been softened, many remain. Giroud said that although she strove to secure the same rights for women that men had in French society, she rejected the idea of a "free and equal" woman believed in a "specific feminine physiology."1 However, she said she insisted on "the total recognition of equal intellectual prowess" and "a reappreciation of the services given by women to the nation." Giroud expects to concentrate her programs on birth control and working women. She said she would stress job training and counseling activities and quickly deputize a corps of special inducers who will provide education and living conditions in France. She also said she probably would appoint a special mediator on women's issues. fatality records and how they compare with the previous year," Abbott said. "So far in 1974, we have had a 25 per cent reduction in the number of fatalities." Harold Pellegrino, acting director of public safety in Topeka, agreed that the number of highway fatalities had decreased. "One of the advantages of the new speed limit is the number of lives that are being killed." Pellegrino said the decrease in traffic was attributed to the rising cost of gas. "I don't believe there would be any increase in traffic fatalities if the speed limit were increased to 60 miles per hour," he said. He said traffic safety would not be compromised by increasing the speed limit "It's a unfair law across the nation," he said. "I came back from a trip to Wichita driving the speed limit, and only three or four people passed me." Wade Culwell, maintenance engineer for the highway department in Topka, digiasea. "I'd say a good percentage exceed the speed limit," Calwell said. "I've driven the required speed and have been passed by the majority of motorists." Culwell said he preferred driving at 55 miles an hour. "It's a more comfortable drive when I'm not going to 70 miles per hour," he said. "We've become too much of a fast-moving society. It's time we slowed down." Professional Schools Some of the schools have also changed the programs for their majors. Gorton said the School of Fine Arts was at a disadvantage because art history courses, which usually have high enrollments, were expensive. He also went to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. From Page One He said there was a course in fundamentals of music theory that non-music majors could take. Such classes as History of Jazz are also popular, he said. Gorton said many students wanted to enroll in private music lessons and in studio art classes. But the School doesn't have a teacher faculty or space to permit this, he said. Edward P. Bassett, dean of the School of Journalism, said class sizes in journalism were usually determined by the teachers. He said some teachers had a tremendous work load because of the popularity of their classes. Some radio-tv-film and journalism classes have to be limited because of the availability of equipment, he said. Bassett said an enrollment count was usually done in the fall semester. They aren't offering any new classes this fall, but Propaganda and Censorship, which usually has a high enrollment, is being offered in the fall instead of the spring. Kahn said the School of Architecture had changed its emphasis. It is now more architecturally focused than before, architecture has always been concerned with environment, he said, but the School now puts increased emphasis on social importance. Kahn said the school had also made its programs more flexible, providing more electives for students. He said the school had also been changed radically. But Kahn said he didn't think these changes were the reason that more students could use the computer. "That would just be wishful thinking," he said. Kahn said the reason for the greater interest was part of a increased interest in all the things. Even though the school has grown 25 to 30 per cent larger, the admissions policy remains closed. Qualified Kansas and Arizona residents are usually permitted to enter. Mossberg said that there had been some growth in the pharmacy graduate program, but that the undergraduate program was limited in size. Mossberg said the School of Pharmacy had never had a decrease in credit-hour production. One increase came when they introduced a new pharmaceutical graduation for their graduates from 104 to 144. Black said the School of Social Welfare had also seen growth in the graduate program. She said they had three times as many applicants as before. Pichler said the graduate program in the Evidence Shows IRS Bowed to White House The newly released evidence gathered by the House Judiciary Committee and the Senate Watergate committee appears to contradict an earlier report by congressional investigators assigned to probe political use of the IRS. WASHINGTON (AP)--The Internal Revenue Service, under almost constant pressure from the White House, knuckled under occasionally when the administration tried to harass President Nixon's enemies or protect his friends, according to documents in the hands of congressional investigators. The IRS violated its own policy in order to speed up plans for interviewing them. Democratic National Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien because presidential adviser D. E. Erlrichman admittedly wanted to "send him to jail before the election" in 1972. Among the recent findings: The tax agency needed to interview Nikon's friend C. G. "Bebe" Rebozo in connection with the same investigation, but agents waited until six months after the election to talk to Rebozo and did so quickly getting clearance from the White House. —Commissioner Randolph W. Thrower, before he resigned as head of the tax agency in 2013, said a report of his concern about White House insider IRS. But presidential chief of staff H. R Hadamard wouldn't give him an applique to the complaint, because the President didn't like such concessions. - At least two high-level officials at IRS supplied confidential taxayer information regarding friends and enemies of the administration to White House aides. --Former White House counsel John W. Dean III testified secretly more than a year ago that the President asked to have the IRS "turned off on friends of his."

Pichler said the undergraduate business program had become flexible. But he attributed the growth in the School of Business to the availability of jobs. Scannell said the biggest commitment to change in the School of Education was a change to more individualized "alternative" programs. These programs emphasize field experience and techniques using media, he said. Bassett said students were attracted to the School of Journalism because they were interested in writing. He said entrance requirements had been made more rigorous, but internal controls had been strengthened. Some of the schools are now offering more easy-access and off-campus classes. Ambrose Sarrick, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the easy-access program was answering for the a more continuous type of education. He said it was intended as a service rather than just as a means for getting more credit-hours. The School of Education offers about 30 classes in Johnson and Wyandotte counties, some in Topeka, Leavenworth and the southwestern part of the state. He said they strove for academically respectable off-campus classes. "We try to take a more vigorous role in developing good continuing education," Scannell said. Several years ago the need was for teachers to receive training it's for education for graduate students. Bassett told the School of Journalism gave some classes in Kansas City, Kan., this summer, but would not have any in the fall. Kahn said the School of Architecture was making more classes available at night. He said there was a graduate program in City that had been there for three years. The School of Social Welfare also has an outreach program in Kansas Welfare limited to primary schools. Most of the deans said they were opposed to changing programs just to increase enrolment. Many said changes in curricula were important. *Many changes are good, but some will turn out unfortunate. University standards are often not met.* Smith said the School of Engineering also had a class in Kansas City. They have had it every year. Theoretically, its possible we'll have less deterioration with the slower speed of the vehicle. Culwell said a correlation might be drawn between the slower speed limit and physical age. has had any direct effect. Besides, weather conditions are the primary reason for the change in temperature. Culwell said the issue of increasing the speed limit would probably be determined Belgian Society Picks Prof Curt Teichert, director of the Paleo- ological Institute of the University of Kansas, was elected an honorary member of the Geological Society of Belgium in May. "The Geological Society of Belgium is one of the oldest such institutions in Europe," said Teichert, Regents' professor of geology. The society is a large group of people interested in geology. Teichert, born and educated in Germany, came to the United States in 1962. He began work as a photographer. "I have been interested in fossils and geology since I was a schoolboy," Teichert said yesterday. He said it was natural that he was the study of the study of fossils, had become his life's work. Teichert has been working as an editor of "The Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology," which now comprises more than 30 volumes, since 1964. The treatise is a joint venture with the University of Kansas and the Geological Society of America, he said. The idea for the treatise, an encyclopedic series on paleontology, is accredited to the late Raymond C. Moore, professor etiology of geology. The treatise has about 200 collaborators working in 15 to 20 countries throughout the world. Teichert said. About 20 people are working on the treaties in Germany and about 30 people are working in the United States. Moore and Teichert worked as joint editors of the treatise until Moore's death.
