Prof Named to Ethics Commission
Watergate and the resulting adverse publicity about campaign tactics and official conduct prompted the creation of the Kansas Government Ethics Commission, according to a new appointer to the commission, Michael Davis, associate professor
Davis was appointed to the commission April 17 by Gov. Robert Docking.
The commission's objective is to set standards for ethical conduct by state officials, employees, lobbyists, candidates and their associates. Davis said recently.
Members of the commission, Davis said, have two general duties. Their first duty, be said, is to adopt rules and regulations for the administration of standards of conduct established by SB 689, which also established the commission.
Their second duty is to investigate complaints of alleged violations of the act or practice of the commission.
Both houses of the Kansas Legislature, Davis said, must disapprove, by joint resolution, the rules and regulations or the regulations are valid as law.
If there is a complaint, Davis said, an initial confidential investigation is carried out.
Members of the commission determine whether there is probable cause that the act is violated. If commission members agree that there was a violation, they write an opinion, which is public information, setting the particulars of the violation. Davis said.
Violations of most sections of the act are a Class A misdemeanor, he said.
Two of the act's sections, Sections 39 and 40, Davis said, are effective immediately. Section 39, Davis said, creates the commission, provides for staff and gives the commission the power to write its rules and regulations.
Section 40 allows the commission to write advisory opinions concerning the information provided.

The investigation part of the act, according to Davies, will be effective until June 1.
U.S. Attorney Says Mitchell Lied at Trial
Winding up its case, the government charged at the criminal conspiracy trial of former Atty. Gen. John Mitchell and one-time Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans yesterday that "they felt they were above the law, that it didn't apply to them."
At another point, Ast. U.S. Atty, John Wing said that Mitchell "took the witness stand and deliberately and consciously led to you."
Wing failed to finish his summation. The jury expressed a wish to go on to end, but after a 12-hour court day, Judge Lee Gagliardi adjourned the trial.
Mitchell, 60, and Stans, 66, are accused of conspiring to obstruct a Securities and Exchange Commission fraud investigation of multimillionaire Robert Vesco in return for Vesco's secret $200,000 cash contribution to President Nixon's reelection campaign.
Weinberger Attacks Compromise Health Bill
The Nixon administration attacked parts of a Democratic compromise health insurance bill yesterday but expressed willingness to work with the Senate on the issue.
While defending President Nixon's proposal at House Ways and Means Committee hearings, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Caspar W. Reinberger criticized the chief features of the compromise bill sponsored by Weinburg, Wilbur D. Mills, D.-Ark, and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass.
Weinberger argued that the administration's bill "has a clearly limited role for the federal government, and major roles for state governments and private health insurance companies," while the Mills-Kennedy bill "is more than 400 billion of new federal taxes and operated by the federal government."
Body Identified as Long Lost Brother-in-Law
He looked so good standing up there in the stooroom, neatly turned out in a black suit and hat. Looked so good, in fact, that the funeral home decided to keep him around for 3½ years.
Martha Evans had heard about the body at the J. W. Woodward Feral Home in Spartanburg, S.C., but she didn't really believe the stories. So, when she was at the funeral parlor, she asked whether she could see the body.
"Oh my God," she screamed. "It's Bellhouse."
Bellhous was the family nickname for James Willie Evans, Mrs. Evans' brother-in-law. He left home 27 years ago to become a migrant farm worker.
Mobile Newsroom Uses Computerized Methods
Gone are the days of eye-smoking reporters wearing green eye shades and masks.
Gone, too, are the ancient typewriters and yellow newspaper upon which those books had been printed.
Computerization has come to journalism, and the University of Kansas is responding
KU is the first stop for a mobile display of the latest equipment in newspaper technology. The display van, which is sponsored by Gannett News Paper Foundation, is being used to help train KU journalism students this week.
The van is a travelling newsroom, according to Ralph Squire, Gannett spokesman, and contains all the equipment necessary for newspaper production.
Services Today For Ray Moore In Recital Hall
Memorial services are scheduled for 4 p.m. today in Swarthout Recital Hall for Raymond C. Moore, professor of geology, who died April 16.
Speakers at the service will be Raymond Nichols, chancellor emeritus; Frank C. Foley, director emeritus of the Kansas Geological Survey; William Hamblen, directeur emeritus of the Kansas Geological Survey; the Rev. David D. Henderson of the Plymouth Congregational Church.
Moore was an internationally known geologist. He was director and state geologist of the Kansas Geological Survey and director of the University department of geology from 1920 to 1939.
Raymond C. Moore Hall, the new home of the Kansas Geological Survey, is named for
It contains IBM Selectric typewriter with carbon ribons, optical copy scanners that "read" and record the typewritten stories, but they are not stored in the stories can be edited without pencils or paper, photocomposition devices that "set" the stories in type, make-up facilities so that newspaper pages can be produced and a memo to prepare the pages for printing presses.
Typed material is read by a scanner and transferred to a video display terminal, which is like a small television set. The copy can be viewed on its small screen, and mistakes can be edited out at the push of a button.
The video display terminals can remember up to 17 stories at one time, and a story can be called to view by pushing a button. This method of editing copy is quicker and cleaner than editing with a pencil, Squire said.
After the copy is edited, it is photographically set in columns of print, which can be cut and pasted on a paper page, written headlines. After a headline is typed out on the keyboard, the machine feeds it out on tape. The tape is then cut and ready for printing.
The van also contains a small press which can produce a finished, one-page pamphlet.
The technological innovations, demonstrated in the van can speed up the process of reporting and editing considerably, Squire said.
But with the advantages of the new machines comes the task of learning how to operate them. To type a story, additional instruction codes are required to indicate indentation, to erase an error or to end a paragraph.
IT'S TIME TO MOVE
The van will leave KU Saturday for Lincoln, Neb., and from there will travel to Chicago.
