Kennedy says he may run for President
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D.Mass., said yesterday he would like to be president and is giving some consideration to running in 1978.
He said that by late next year, and possibly earlier, he would make a definite decision. He also said members of his family wouldn't have a vote
Kennedy was asked if Watergate meant that more attention would be focused on the 1989 Chapauqaidick accident, in which Kennedy's car ran off a bridge and a young woman aid was killed. Kennedy conceded it would be something that would have to be faced.
"But people finally and ultimately are going to have to make judgments about my views and my record in the Senate," he said.

Kissinger, Gromyko to Discuss Syrian Front
Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
A. Gromyko will meet today on the island of Cyprus to discuss their search for an end to the war on the Israeli-Syrian front.
The meeting was announced as Kissinger started a new round of urgent negotiations with Israeli leaders to find an end to the open hostilities on the Golan front, now in their 60th day. Israeli newspapers said the negotiations bid "lost their impetus" and might still in a deadlock.
U. S. officials dismissed suggestions that the American and Soviet foreign ministers might be coming together to work out a pact that would be imposed on Israel and Syria. The meeting has the "full understanding andival of the government of Israel," Ambassador Robert J. McClokey said.
FPA Criticizes Proposed Nuclear Reactor
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) criticized as inadequate yesterday the Atmous Energy Commission's (AEC) 2,200-page document, which described the state's water use policies.
Acting under court orders, the AEC issued a first draft of its environmental impact statement last March 14, concluding that widespread development of the fast-breeder reactor would have little impact on the environment.
From Page One
Before I get into any discussion of finances, let me remind you that several years ago the students imposed a debt on me to pay them. The Debt that remains after this year's payment is $289,636, which the athletic corporation is obligated to pay off at the rate of $4,000 a year from student ticket funds. This debt obligation runs through 1979.
Walker's Open Letter to Students
Since the athletic corporation is a self-sustaining enterprise, we must rely on gate receipts, student activity fees, bowl and television revenue from the Big 8 Conference, and to support the athletic program. It is unfortunate that the students and the athletic corporation have incurred such a large debt, over the past few years, as the number of students to find ways to decrease this debt and to see that no more debt occurs. I have taken a look at our entire operation, and since I have no control over inflation, can see nothing but increased costs in the future, I have had to look at means of increasing our
Since student activity fees have decreased drastically over the past few years, and since our revenue from the Big 8 Conference has and will continue to decrease, because of Oklahoma's probation, I have no choice except to look at our other two areas of potential income, gate receipts and contributions for increased income. In addition, ticket price increases in certain areas, and encouraged our alumni and friends to increase their contributions to our scholarship fund.
I have been accused of not being sensitive to the students' problems. I currently have two children in college and another who will continue to be exposed as qualified to understand student problems.
—(1) The decision of the Student Senate to drastically reduce student activity fees (from $719,486.00 in 70-71 to a loss of $53,652.50—a reduction of $48,768.10 in four years).
With this background, let me get to the issue at hand—increase in student ticket prices for next year. I, personally, do not have the authority to set ticket prices, this is the privilege of the Athletic Board. It is true that I recommended to the board that ticket prices be increased. I made this recommendation for three reasons:
(2) That only one moderately increase in event ticket prices has occurred in the last ten years.
— (3) That our ticket prices were the same at the B Conference, and nowhere in line with them.
Student ticket prices from other Big 8 Conference schools have been published in this paper, to show comparisons, however, I think it is worth repeating the student ticket prices at Kansas State, since they are part of the same educational system as we are, and since they are the only other Big 8 School in our state.
Next year, the Kansas State students will pay $21.00 for a season basketball ticket, $15.00 for a season basketball ticket and $4.25 per student, or $63.75 through student activity fees for a stadium debt payment. When you pro rate the activity fee allocation with ticket prices of the other Big 8 schools, our proposed ticket prices for next year will be adjusted according to the Big 8 will. Hopefully, our students have enough pride in the University of Kansas to want us to be competitive with the other members of our conference.
I can only draw on the good judgment of our young people today to understand and sympathize with our problem and to know that we will continue to try to provide the type of athletic program that you will be proud of.
If the athletic corporation were financially solvent, if I could see other means of revenue, or if the state supported our program, I would be the first to recommend that we open our gates and allow our students to play sports. And as I would like nothing better than to have our students behind our program 100 per cent.
With increased ticket prices, activity fees, and a normal number of students buying tickets next season, the revenue expected from student sources will still only generate about 15 per cent of our total anticipated income.
I would be happy to discuss this matter further with any of you individually, or collectively, if you so desire, and hopefully, we can count on your continued support.
Sincerely,
Clyde L. Walker
