Dykes Rules; Salaries Rise; 'Hawks, Streakers Score
The words "change" and "success" best summarize the past year's events at the summer conference.
An increased student enrollment saw a new chancellor installed, campus buildings finished, unusually successful Jayhawk sports teams, salary increases for the KU faculty and the emergence of financial support for women's sports.
KU also experienced its traditional events—campus government elections, various political and nonpolitical speakers, drug raids and a student fad: streaking.
Archie R. Dykes, former chancellor of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, of-
fictively became KU's thirteenth chancellor Aug. 27. During his first year as Chancellor, Dykes has put a high priority on the work of his department and public relations and a strong devotion to the University. He is credited with getting higher grades in proposals before the Legislation.
The Jayhawk football and basketball teams completed highly successful seasons. Both teams participated in post-season games. The North Carolina State Wolfpack defeated the Mississippi Bowl in Memphis. After beating Oral Roberts University in overtime in Tulsa to
take the NCAA Midwest regional championship, the KU basketball team lost to the Marquette Warriors at the national NCAA tournament in GreenSBoro, N.C. The team won the season ranked seventh nationally in the Associated Press basketball poll.
Women's intercollege sports received a 700 per cent increase in financing for next year. The Student Senate approved the requested amount of $83,860.90 in April.

decrease in student funds, student season ticket prices were increased from $6.50 for football and $5.50 for basketball to $15 for football and $13 for basketball.
However, a 7.4 per cent decline in the number of freshen enrollment for the first time brought speculation that the predicted decrease of enrollment by 1977 was beginning. Total enrollment increased one-half per cent.
Spring enrollment for the Lawrence campus and the Medical Center in Kansas City was 19,400, according to an estimate by the Office of Admissions and Records.
KU faculty members received a 10 per cent salary raise when Gov. Robert Docking signed the 1975 fiscal budget. Originally planned by the governor as an 8.5 per cent increase this year, the increase will make KU faculty salaries equivalent to schools of comparable size.
The nationwide sweepfare fad came to the KU camp in the spring semester. In the spring, the KU camp had a lot of students.

Streaking popularity reached a climax in March when thousands came on campus for nighttime "streak rallies" in front of Watson Library and at the Chi Omega fountain. Nine persons were arrested March 6 by city police for indecent ex-police harassment charges but hid when it was found that no law covered streaking.

French Election Requires Runoff
PARIS (AP) — French president yesterday sent socialist leader Francois Mitterrand and Finance Minister Valery Giscard d'Espagne to Paris to discuss how he will make one of them president of France.
With official tallies covering all but a handful of the returns, Mitterrand had run over Gaskar in a thriller Gissard d'Estang, candidate of the Independent Republican party, had 8,266,328 votes, or 32.85 per cent, and Gaullist candidates won 3,963,168 votes, or 14.64 per cent.
The rest of the votes were divided among nine other candidates in a heavy turnout of 42%.
To win in the first balloting, one of the presidential hopefuls would have needed the vote.
Mitterrand and Giscard d'Estained said they were confident of victory. The finance minister was promised support by Premier Pierre Messer and other Gaullist chiefs, although Chaban-Dehna refused to believe that he would support Giscard d'Estained.
Chaban-Delmas conceded defeat after media computer projections predicted shortly after the polls closed that his major opponents would win the first two spots.
The projections said Mitterrand would receive between 43 and 45 per cent of the票. Gissard d'Estaling, 32 to 34 per cent, and Delm-Delmas between 12.4 and 14.5 per cent.
Communist boss Georges Marchais, whose party is officially backing Mitterrand, urged more support for the Socialist leader. The marshaling of forces behind both candidates is likely to make the final outcome very close, analysts said.
Senate Debate On Film Petition To Wait'till Fall
A petition bearing 253 signatures in support of the International Film Series has been received.
However, action on the petition will have to wait until next fall because the senate already has met for the last time this semester.
The film series was started more than 20 years ago for blacks and foreign students in the United States.
The senate, at a meeting earlier this semester, refused to allocate money to

Giscard d'Estailing needs the support of the Gaullists to carry him ahead of Mitterrand in the runoff. This, in turn, would lead to a drastic diminished Gaulist rule in government.
Both candidates have said they would pursue essentially the same foreign policy as the late President Georges Pompidou—national independence, friendship for the United States and a more positive role in European affairs.
Both Giscard d'Estaining and Mitterrand—among the most brilliant men in active French politics—have been presidential candidates. Giscard, as his rebuilt Socialist party, Giscard d'Estaining turned the Finance Ministry into one of the most powerful departments in the French government.
The campaign centered mainly on domestic issues such as inflation, inequalities between rich and poor and the role of government in society.
Speaking to cheering supporters in the town of Chamalliers, Giscard d'Estaing declared last night: "I am now in a position to become president."
The computer projections, carried out in conjunction with public opinion organizations, were based on returns from voting in the country's major metropolitan region broadcast by the government-owned radio station and two privately owned stations.
At Mitterrand's headquarters, supporters expressed sharp disappointment that their candidate had apparently not received a runoff ballot, thereby necessitating a runoff election.
An opinion poll on Saturday showed that Mitterrand, who is running with Communist support, was scoring 45 per cent. The result might poll enough votes to win outright.
Although Mitterrand had been the favorite in yesterday's balloting, he will be an underdog in runoff elections if the Pep Boys fail to support behind Giscard d'Estaing.
Mitterrand, who ran under the theme that France needs a change after 16 years of Gaullist rule, has been in the opposition since Charles de Gaulle returned to power in 1958 and catapulted his party into the dominant role of French politics.
In announcing the Gallist party's support for Gicard or E'esting in the runoff, Mr. Gallist said he would become president he would become a hostage of the Communists. The same theme had been used by both Gicard and Chaban-Delmas during the campaign.

St. Clair and Haig Predict Nixon Will Be Vindicated
WASHINGTON (AP)—President Nixon's chief lawyer indicated yesterday he believed the House impeachment inquiry hinged on whether the President approved hush money payments to Watergate defendants.
The presidential tape transcripts released last week, said attorney James St. Clair, prove that Nixon "neither authorized . . . nor knew" about such a wawner.
Both St. Clair and White House Chief of Staff Alexander M. Hai吉 Jr., appear separately on television interview with Nikon would be vindicated in the House.
Hag said the edited transcripts were published by the President "to convince the American people for the first time that he had nothing to hide."
St. Clair insisted the tapes made it clear Nixon rejected, in a March 21, 1973, conversation with John W. Dean III, the director of Watergate consurer E. Howard Hunt.
Yet, there are several apparent contradictions on that issue in a reading of that
A month later, on April 17, Nixon and H. R. (Bob) Haldeman are to recall to recall the March 21 discussion. Nixon says: "I didn't tell him to get the money, did I?"
St. Clair, who appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press," said that in releasing the transcripts, Nixon thought he had given the evidence to committee everything he thought they needed.
When Dean tells Nixon that such demands may eventually reach $1 million, Nixon replies: "we could get that. On the money, if you need the money you can get that."
SC. Chair will represent the President in proceedings expected to begin this week in Washington.
Later yet, the topic turns to a specific demand from Hunt for $120,000. Nixon: "Would you agree that that's the prime reason you damn well better get that done?"
After receiving edited transcripts from the White House instead of the actual tape recordings, the committee voted 20 to 18 that he had complied with its subpoena.
Moments later, the President says: "But in the end, we are going to be bled to death . . . and in effect look like a cover-up. So that we can do."
Hag, who appeared on ABCs "Issues and Answers," wouldn't reply directly to questions about whether the White House would also turn over evidence sought on issues not directly connected with abuse, state, such as the milk fund and ITT cases.
"Few if any reason thought he was in full compliance," Rep. Paul S. Sarbanes, D-Md., said on the CBS "Crisse the Nation" on Wednesday that a decision in opinion was in the proper response.
On another program, two members of the House Judiciary Committee warned against interpreting the committee's party-line vote on the impeachment of a partisan split on the impeachment issue.
Rep. Thomas Railsback, R-III., said the vote reflected a clash on procedures but not on the committee's ultimate goal to force the truth in its impactment inquiry.
Mideast Peace Efforts Continuing
Artillery duels on the Israeli-Syrian cease-fire line continued yesterday, but Israel Information Minister Shimon Peres said that the situation had the fflight might subside in another day.
AMMAN, Jordan (AP)—Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger flew here yesterday, and his Soviet counterpart, Andrei Gromyko, arrived in Syria in an apparently coordinated effort to end the fighting in the Golan Heights.
American officials had said Kissinger won an agreement from Syria Saturday to lift a ceasefire in the Syrian city.
Kissinger arrived in Jordan after extended talks with Israeli leaders. He was expected to talk to King Hussein about the situation and his plans and talks with Israeli-backed disengagement.
Peres said Israel had made a revaluation of "our current position" after the latest round of talks with Kissinger. Observers understood this as a hint Israel might modify its refusal to surrender any territory taken from Syria in 1967.
The Israeli government met yesterday to discuss compromise proposals, but a spokesman said no decision had been reached.

Assembly to Vote on PIHP. Policies
By DEBBIE GUMP
Kansan Staff Reporter
When the College Assembly meets tomorrow, the culmination of four months of committee work will be voted upon by 110 faculty members, an uncertain number of faculty members.
Ed Rolfs, Junction City sophomore and chairman of the student election committee, announced Saturday that three College-Winth-the-College and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences had failed to win enough votes to candidates in the Anil 26 assembly elections.
Among the issues are the Pearson Integrated Humanities Program, the withdrawal policy, the probation; policy and an assembly constitutional amendment that would increase student representation on the board of directors of clinics and Procedures Committee (EPPC).
However, Carl Lande, professor of political science and an opponent of the proposed amendment, urged the faculty of the political science department to attend the meeting to help defeat the amendment to give them a more faculty control of this important body."
However, 120 students could have been voting.
The possibility that students may for once outnumber faculty members at an assembly meeting, which has been plagued by a lack of student participation all semester, hasn't gone unnoticed by assembly members.
Every student who ran for office from Nunemaker, Centennial and Oliver College and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences was elected, Rufs said.
The new assembly will consider what many student leaders feel to be the only real issues to come up before the assembly this semester.
Michael Turse, Cherry Hill, N.J., junior, said recently his constitutional amendment to raise the percentage of undergraduate students on the EPPC from 25 per cent to almost 50 per cent had a fighting chance in the May meeting.
"I really think there's been an absence of substantive issues," Rolfs said. "This meeting will prove different, as all the work the nurses has been geared to the May meeting."

be defeated either on the floor of the assembly, or through the forcing of a mail ballot. Either step will require a substantial attendance of faculty members."
The Pearson Advisory Committee, which was organized last year to act as an ongoing advisory panel for the program, has recommended through the EPPC to be allowed to satisfy two of the three humanities distribution requirements.
Lande said yesterday that such a degree of student involvement in the EPPC would be essential.
Another issue is the Pearson Integrated Humanities Program, which last year was stripped by assembly action of its ability to fulfill freshman and sophomore humanities, speech, Western Civilization and English requirements.
"I think that running a college is a rather complicated and difficult business and requires some professional knowledge of educational matters," he said. "It seems to me most students simply don't have the experience."
"At the moment I don't plan to speak against the proposal," Donald Marquis, a lawyer at the firm, said.
yesterday, "but that doesn't mean I won't change my mind."
Marguis, one of several faculty members who opposed the program last year, said that the basic question of what education should be hadn't yet been decided and that his objections to the program rested on that question.
"one fundamental issue ought to be discussed in some sort of civilized, scholarly way," he said. "We haven't done that at all, which perhaps says something."
The assembly will also consider the EPPC's recommendation that the current

English Woman Held In Irish Art Robbery
DUBLIN, Ireland (AP)—A 33-year-old former debutante self-attested freedom fighter was in custody yesterday after police found the 19 paintings stolen from her apartment.
Police said Bridget Rose Duggle, the daughter of an English millionaire insurance executive, was arrested Saturday in a remote country cottage in southwestern Ireland.
A massive police search continued for four men who participated in the armed robbery.
The paintings—which include a Vermeer, a Goya, a Frans Hals and three Rubens—were taken to the Dulkin police technical bureau. Superintendent Anthony Mahon said the paintings were all in good shape, with only some small scratches in the varnish of one or two.
The paintings were stolen April 26 from the sprawling rural mansion of gold and diamond magnate Sir Alfred Beit.
Dugale, a Ph.D. and a former lecturer at London University, was convicted last year at Eaxter, England, for stealing $190,000 worth of art works from her father's
She got a two-year suspended sentence and said she would continue her work as an unpaid civil rights activist among the poor of London.
In February, British authorities issued warrants for Dugdale's arrest in connection with smuggling arms and explosives to Ireland.
She was also sought for questioning in connection with a helicopter bombing attack last January on a police barracks in the Northern Ireland border town of Strabane. Police blamed the attack on the outlawed Irish Republican Army, which is waging guerrilla warfare to oust the British from Ulster.
Durdale's family refused to comment on her arrest.
Police officials credited two local police with the break. They said Sgt. Pat O'Lary and Constable William Creedon became suspicious when they learned that the cottage in Glandore, County Cork, had been rented only two days before the art robbery.
They called in help to stake out the cottage and seized Dugdale when she arrived in a car.
The motive for the art theft remained clouded.
A few months ago note received Friday by Dublin's National Gallery had indicated that the IRA engineered the head to force the transfer of four IRA azerovate from Dublin.
The letter, postmarked Belfast, said the paintings would be destroyed unless four terrorists were transferred to Ulster and $1.2 million was paid by May 14.
But yesterday police theorized that the thieves had sent the letter as a decoy, to tandem police apptition, to Northern Ireland, rather than as a political ultimatum.
