New Parking Board Chairman Plans Campus Study

Kansan Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas Parking and Traffic Board has many responsibilities. The new chairman of the board is Phil Frickey, Oberlin senior, president of the Association of University Residence Halls (AURH) and an intern in the office of the Dean of Men.
Frickey's appointment is significant because he may be the first student in the history of the university senate to be chairman of a University board. The student who are no records available to verify this, however,
Frickey was appointed chairman of the Parking and Traffic Board by the Senate Executive Committee.
He said the first attempt to do something about residence hall parking problems was made last summer by AURH. John Beisner, president of the student body, was then president of AURH.
Beaister became concerned, Frickey said, about the wav the money collected from the sale of
parking permits at the residence halls was being spent. A task force was set up to study the issue. The task force concluded that the cost of patrolling and the cost of parking were the same amount the students were paying. Freckey said.
The task force suggested that Security and Parking make a percentage breakdown of the costs of lot patrolling, lot maintenance and general maintenance to see where the money was spent. The task force also said that the residence hall parking fee should be lowered.
The proposal was turned down, Frickey said, because Security and Parking said they needed the extra revenue. Frickey said the Parking and Traffic Department spends its money when the board meets in the fall.
Frickey said that the Security and Parking budget had a tendency to be used up very quickly. He said Security and Parking might need more money this year.
A Student Senate committee was set up to study parking and traffic after the AURH task force work
made its report in November. The Senate committee recommended in April such items as on-campus collection boxes and available tickets for the annual competition, and this report was sent to Cancellor Archie Dykes.
The Parking and Traffic Board will meet for their first session this fall, Frickey said. The board is comprised of four students, four faculty members and three from Security and Parking and Facilities Planning
"I am not on the board to cure the residence halls' parking problems." Frickey said. "We are going to deal with campus-wide problems. I would say that the person who parks in X zone and pays $25.00 is in equally bad shape as a resident of a hall who pays $17.50."
Fricicky said the board would try not to cater to special interests because this had happened, he said, on past boards. Fricicky said he was going to encourage the faculty and students on the board to learn the parking regulations and become familiar with the University's parking problems. One of the
failings of past boards, Frickey said, was that they didn't really understand all the problems they dealt with.
SenXe has given the Parking and Traffic board charges that must be reported on by April 1. One of the charges is to administer the assignment of parking permits.
"I guess that is human nature, if nothing else, to everybody to want to park next to where they were."
Frickey said original permit assignments weren't changed unless there was a need to issue a permit for a different zone. Frickey said parking assignments had been a hot point of controversy in the past because some people were really unhappy about their permit assignments.
Frichey said that he thought there had been some inconsistencies in the assignment of parking permits in the past and that he hoped policies could be formalized this fall.
Frickey said parking permits for faculty had been given on the basis of research needs, how many
years they had been with the University and if they were tenured. Other reasons for permit assignments, Frickey said, were the position of the person and his need for mobility.
The KU parking permit comes in two forms. One form is the campus permit, which costs $2.50, and the other is the residence hall permit, which costs $17.50. Parking zones and their permits have been coordinated since last year. For example, a person in a red permit can park on any red lot on campus.
Another of the charges made by SeenEx to the Parking and Traffic board was to study the possibility of parking fees based on geographic location of parking lots. Frickey said this policy would indicate the inherent value of being able to park on campus rather than down the hill.
Frickey said a student parking in X or O zones shouldn't have to pay as much as a faculty member who parked right behind his office. He said that distinguished or tenured faculty members should have parking priority over students but that See PARKING Page 2

Report Reveals Rebozo Gifts
WASHINGTON (AP) - Florida banker C. G., "Bebe" Tebazo spent more than $50,000 for President Nixon's personal benefit between 1968 and 1972, and at least some of the money came from Nixon campaign committee staff said yesterday.
The staff report, which has been challenged by presidential lawyer James St. Clair, lists a swimming pool, a billiard table, pool furniture and carpeting and a table of platinum and diamond earrings for the money used in using the uses to which the money was put.
The staff report, with some minor changes, was part of three volumes adoted
by the full Senate Watergate committee as it concluded its work yesterday,
Chairman Sam Ervin, D-N.C., said the
report would be issued publicly on Sunday.
"I would be issued public on Sunday.
After the Rebozo report was released,
White House Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said, "These unsubstantiated charges have been leaked and released and now the committee is trying to serve them up for the third time around. It's just warmed-over baloney."
Deputy Press Secretary Gerald L. Warren said he repeated "the President's assurance that he never instructed Mr. Rebozo to raise and maintain funds to be
expended on his personal behalf, nor so far as he knows, was this ever done."
as he knows; was this 'ever done'? specific protection exists in the Senate using campaign contributions for personal expenses. But the Internal Revenue Service said such funds would then become taxable income for the individual involved.
However, the records reflecting the expenditures by Reboza were withheld from Nixon's office, and President Nixon's assets and liabilities last year, even though Nixon was "aware of and concurred in at least some of these imminent property," the committee staff reported.

Nixon Denies Authorizing Break-In
WASHINGTON (AP)—President Nixon, in written statements, said under oath yesterday that he did not authorize the burglary to obtain psychological information about the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers.
In statements read by the judge to the plumbers trial jury, Nixon said he created a special investigative unit at the White House to investigate alleged security material. He denied authorizing a break-in committed by members of the unit known as the plumbers at the office of Mr. Nixon.
Elliot Gillerman, professor of geology and director of North College, was pronounced dead-on-arrival at 9:05 last night at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. No information pertaining to his death is available. Funeral arrangements are being made by Burnsey Furnal Home, 601 Indiana St.
Copies of President Nikon's income taxes for 1989 made 1972 made public last year by the White House do not list any gifts from Rebozo.
Nixon's comment in sworn answers to written interrogatories sent to him by the court Tuesday night put a dramatic climax on the two-week-old trial of four defendants, including John D. Ehrlichman, Nixon's former chief domestic adviser.
Q. Did you ever authorize anyone on the White House staff to search the files of Dr. Elsburg for information about Dr. Elsburg without a warrant, or with the help of Dr. Fielding, or to hire others to do them?
The plumbers planned and carried out the
A. No.
The defense had rested a short time earlier after hearing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's request or order to request a psychological profile of Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers to the press and who had been held at the doctor's Beverly Hills office.
The report said that campaign contributions were the only apparent source for more than $20,000 in cash purchases made by Rebebo for Nixon in November 1972. Other large amounts were paid for expensive improvements to Nixon's Key Biscayne, Fla., estate from trust accounts set up by Rebebo in his lawyer's name. This process concealed the source of the funds, the report said.

Sept. 3, 1971, burglary at Fielding's office in an unsuccessful search for Ellsberg's psychiatric records. Ehrlichman was accused of composing to violate Fielding's approval of the entry. He also faces four counts of lying to the FBI and a grand jury.
The others on trial, G. Gordon Liddy, Bernard L. Barker and Eugenio R. Martinez, were charged in the conspiracy count, under a preliminary submission to the court included.
Nixon said in response to another question that he first learned of the Fielding break-in on March 17, 1973, the day Erichhultman was a year and a half after the break-in.
Three trust accounts apparently were used to conceal the use of nearly $5,000 in the account.
The report, which was authorized for release by the full Watergate committee, states that investigators have identified 12 individuals and furnishings at the President's estate.
The long investigation was begun after the disclosure last year that Rebozo, a Key Biscayne banker and Nixon's closest friend, had received two $50,000 payments from billionaire Howard Hughes after the 1968 presidential campaign.
The report said Rebozo did not file a U.S. gift tax return to account for his purchases for Nixon, despite the requirements of the tax code.
KU Law Admittance Multifaceted
By DONNA HOWELL
Kansan Staff Reporter
Admission to the University of Kansas School of Law is not based exclusively upon an applicant's undergraduate GPA and score on the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), George Coggins, professor of law, said recently.
Cognius, who is chairman of the Law Admissions Committee, said the committee also considered an applicant's other accomplishments. The committee has a list of 14 other accomplishments, such as graduate degrees, careers and recommendations.
An applicant's undergraduate GPA and LSAT score must be considered, but they are judged with other considerations.
THE COMMITTEE checks the files of applicants who scored low on the LASAT test or had low GPAs. An exceptional case, he said, might be the man who failed his first year and decided to join the Army, then returned to school. The committee considers the student's GPA for his second attempt in college. If he did not pass, the judge would allow for the extimating circumstances. Cogirns is
The records of applicants who had high grades and scores are investigated for incidences of mental illness or felony contempt.
An applicant must submit an application to the School of Law Director of Admissions. Then he must register with the Law
School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS). The LSDAS combines the applicant's LSAT score and grades into a formula with a computer. The LSDAS sends the report about the applicant to the law school.
Coggins said 1,100 applicants applied for the fall semester. Three hundred were accepted but only 180 of these will be entering the school in the fall. The others that were accepted decided to go to other schools.
Most of the class that entered last fall did their undergraduate work at the University of Kansas or other Kansas schools. The committee discriminate heavily in favor of Kansas residents, and therefore about per cent of students entering next fall are from outside Kansas.
A KANSAN SURVEY of 19 law students, which is not necessarily representative of the qualifications of all law students, showed that their average GPA was 3.0. On a scale of 200 to 800, their average LSAT score was 643.
Most of the students were employed while undergraduates. Many took part in other activities, such as student government, or were involved in political researching. Two students were in the military and one had a Ph.D. in geology.
Minority applicants were considered individually. Minority students often come from deprived backgrounds, and this is taken into consideration, Coggins said. There is no quota on the minority and out-of-state students the school accepts, he said.

Study Says Ehrlichman Wanted O'Brien Audit
John D. Ehrlichman pressured the Internal Revenue Service into speeding up a tax audit of Democratic Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien in the hope of sending O'Brien to bail before the 1972 election, the Watergate committee staff said in a new draft report. The report quoted Ehrlichman as saying in sworn testimony that he demanded them to turn up something and send O'Brien to jail before the election.
The report said IRS officials found nothing amiss in O'Brien's tax returns.
Senate Votes to Obtain Veto on Nuclear Gifts
