Campaign Financing Bill Passed by Senate
The Senate yesterday passed a campaign reform bill with the avowed aim of eliminating big-money influence in politics.
The bill provides for the use of tax funds in financing general and primary campaigns for federal offices. It also puts a ceiling on campaign contributions and limits the total expenditures of presidential and congressional candidates.
candidates election establishes a bipartisan Federal Elections Commission empowered to bring civil and criminal prosecution, independently of the state law enforcement.
The bill is expected to have a difficult time in the House where opposition to public financing of congressional races and primary campaigns is regarded as stronger than in the Senate. Even if the bill should be passed by the House, it is threatened with a presidential veto.
The House unanimously passed a substitute to the Senate's unsatisfied Tenet bill, killing any chance for final passage before a 10-day Easter recess.
House Defers Action on Disaster Relief Bill
Backers sought quick passage because of the tornadoes that devastated parts of the South and Midwest last week.
The substitute was introduced by Rep. John Blatkin, D-Min., who said the House was unprepared to act on a measure that passed the Senate only a day earlier. Before adjourning for the recess, the House appointed confertees to work out differences between the bills with the Senate.
Saxbe Says to Proceed with Nixon Tax Inquiry
Att. Gen. William B. Saxbe said he had authorized special prosecutors to proceed with tax investigations involving several Watergate figures and others.
Saxbe said he was asked by Watergate prosecutor Leon Jaworski whether the special protector's jurisdiction covered tac matters involving Nixon's administration.
The charter spelling out Jaworski's responsibilities was broad enough to cover the issue, Saxbe said.
Asked whether Jaworski was investigating possible fraud in the preparation of Nixon's returns, Sasbe said he didn't know and didn't ask.
Black Mavor of Tuskegee Endorses Wallace
Johnny Ford, the black mayor of Tuskegee, Ala., endorsed Gov. George C. Wallace for re-election and that Wallace would get more black voters than ever before.
Ford said he thought Wallace would carry Tuskegee, a university town which was the scene of racial demonstrations 10 years ago. He also predicted Wallace would carry all of Macon County, whose population is 83 per cent black, and get “distributedly more” black votes elsewhere in the

Reaction to the Student Senate funding increase for women's athletics seemed favorable, according to a random poll conducted yesterday.
Kansan Staff Reporter
Fifty students were polled, 25 of each sex. Twenty-eight favored the entire increase and 18 favored at least a partial increase. Ten women were completely against any increase.
Senate Sports Allocation Supported
On Wednesday, the Student Senate approved a 700 per cent increase of funds for women's sports, from $9,300 to $83,600, while the University of Kansas Athletic Association funds were cut from last year's figure in the 1974-75 school year.
All of the respondents were given the preceding information. They were told that a substantial price hike for football and basketball season tickets may result.
It was also noted that the ticket prices were going up anyway, but that the senate's action, according to John Beiser, Salina junior and student body president, would increase them even more, though by an undetermined amount.
The students responded to the question:
Do you think that the women's sports team is good?
Yes.
"Yes I do," said Deb Henson, Wichita junior, "No one will let men's sports go."
SenEx Recommends Security Consultant
SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS will present a concert featuring the Concert Choir, directed by Burt Allen, at 7:30 p.m. Sunday in the Carnegie Theatre. The concert is open to the public.
LAWRENCE CHAPTER of the National Organization for Women will present a program about abortion at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Episcopal Church. Visitors are welcome.
The University Senate Executive Committee (SenEx) recommended yesterday that the University consider hiring a university trustee to help solve problems of campus security.
James E. Sewer, professor of history and Western Civilization and SenEx chairman, said he had given a letter to Chancellor Arche R. Dykes that recommended "the need for a professional consultant to evaluate what needs to be done to improve campus security."
Seaver said that SenEx also discussed the issue of faculty members working on jobs or projects that didn't relate to their teaching responsibilities.
Seaver said some members of the Kansas Legislature had expressed concern that
faculty members were using University time to support other jobs.
SenEx has made an informal agreement to look into the matter, Seaver said.

despite their cut, and I really don't mind the ticket prices point out."
One woman, who declined to give her name, said she was completely against the marriage.
However, many women were just as vehement in their support.
"If you take an X-ray, you won't see my heart bleed for the men," said Karen Earickson, Wichita senator. "Girls are enthusiastic, too, and they deserve the care."
Another woman, who wished to remain unidentified, said, "Yes, they should

definitely get the money. The women have got screwed too long."
Mike Kirby, Overland Park sophomore,
said, "No, I don't think the entire increase
was warranted—perhaps half would have
been better."
Men and women alike expressed dissatisfaction with the entire allocation to all of their needs.
Jay Hennings, Chesterfield, Mo., junior didn't agree with the entire increase. "They shouldn't have gotten that much," he said, "because it means that nonrevenue sports like swimming and gymnastics will be eliminated."
Don Smith, Dodge City sophomore, wasn't bothered by the rebudging. "There are about 200 men who benefit from the funds and 10,000 who don't, but if they have to have the money, then the women should get their share," he said.
Gleem Meyer, Hillsboro graduate student, said he didn't favor the increase. "I think the professors need the money more than either men's or women's sports," he said.
Peggy Shortridge, Prairie Village sophomore, thought the increase was "okay, but I don't think athletics should get as much as it does."
