Warden, Inmates
The warden of the Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary and representatives of prison inmates罕难辩覆告 how prisoners at the jail are treated on and on duty should be treated.
"Prison conditions are universally inhumane," the Leavenworth Brothers Offense Defense Committee said in a recent news release.
But Warden Loren E. Dagggett said prison conditions were always misrepresented by prisoners and "pissant newsmen who don't know the damn facts."

KU Professors Concerned With Low Morale Problem
By DAVE BURPEE
Kansas Staff Reporter
Serious morale problems confront University of Kansas professors, but measures can be adopted to alleviate the situation.
This was the attitude expressed yesterday by University professors and administrators at an open hearing sponsored by the Committee on Analysis and Improvement of Instruction of the PU, chapter of the American Association of University Professors.
Carl Leban, associate professor of East Asian studies and oriental languages and literatures and committee chairman, said yesterday that the purpose of the open hearing was to obtain a cross section of oinions on ideas discussed.
Eleven persons gave short presentations on the subjects of evaluation and rewards of teaching, factors affecting the quality of learning, and others affecting professional environment.
physiology and cell biology, said, "Morale of young teachers is rock-bottom, zero."
Low morale, he said, was one intangible factor in all of the subjects being discussed.
Gerald Mikkelson, assistant professor of slavic languages and literature, said other factors affecting the quality of instruction were physical surroundings, faculty work loads, instructor's evaluations and student attitudes.
One method of improving instruction, he said, would be to make supervised teaching more efficient.
Del Shanker, executive vice chancellor,
said there was no easy solution to the morale problem. Problems will continue to exist, he said, as long as the University is tied to the present student-to-teacher enrollment formula.
The University is working on the problem, he said, by initiating programs to keep enrollment up. He said that the administration would also make an effort to persuade the legislature to alter the formula concept.
The inmates failed, Daggett said, because the active two per cent misjudged their support among other inmates, most of whom had ordered orders of the administration.
The prisoners' committee claimed that inmates had tried repeatedly to make their grievances known to prison officials but that they had been ignored. The prisoners then "revolted" in the mental room and took possession of the prison for two hours, the committee said.
Two inmates held four guards hostage until the warden agreed to a meeting between prison officials and representatives there. In some cases, the warden there would be no reprisals against the inmates involved. Daggert agreed to the demands on the condition that the hostage be released
Argue Conditions
When the meeting took place, a grievance list was submitted and discussed. After the meeting, the participating inmates were put in solitary confinement
"The only agreement I made was to meet me, and when I walked out that door, my mother said, 'Thank you.'"
The wardens said that most of the discussion at the meeting was bellyaching, and that the grievance list was presented at a public hearing for the prisoner's violence on July 31.
The grievence list, according to the prisoners' committee, contained requests to end racial policies, to end arbitrary lock-up, to reorganize the medical staff, to protect religious freedom and to end discrimination by the parole board.
According to the committee, the list also called for an end to harassment of legal mails, an end to a ban on political books, a raises in the wages paid in the prison factory.
KU Student Aid Still Based on Need
College expense has always been an obstacle for students from low-income families. But some college officials say the expense is now a burden to middle-income students as well, and are awarding scholarships on the basis of merit rather than need.
Scholarships to the University of Kansas traditionally have been awarded to people who cannot otherwise go to college. And research universities here, that policy is not likely to change.
Jerry Rogers, director of student
financial aid, said there had been some interest in giving financial rewards to superior students. But he said the financial reward was not such rewards at the expense of the needy.
Approximately 1,500 students are getting about $400 each from the KU Endowment Association, Rogers said. The association wants to increase its interest in students who clearly show need.
But some schools give money to middle-
class students as a reward for academic
excellence.

tranural programs had been doubled last fall.
He said 8,000 men and women went through the intramurals program each
"There will be a lot of protest from students," Lockwood said. "And I think students should protest, if they want an intramurals program."
The senate is guaranteed 9.5 per cent ($37,717) of the student activity fee for its students.
Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, has told Beisner that the administration will try to find matching funds to pay for the rest of the program. Beisner said.
John Beinser, Salina junior and student body president, said he would add $10,000 to the senate's request to partially fund Liberal Arts and Sciences 48 courses for
In addition to the 9.5 per cent it is guaranteed, the senate will keep 4.8 per cent ($18,855.60) in a reserve fund for projects that may come up next year.
The senate's request, including $10,000 for the Liberal Arts and Sciences 48 program, is $10,000 less than the senate was allocated last year.
Larry Auherman, Wichita senior and chairman of the University Concert Series, said the money guaranteed to the Concert Series would be in the past to finance a good program.
Ausherman is requesting only the 6.4 per cent (£25,179) guaranteed to the Concert
He said $30,000 was already committed toward paying artists' fees for next year. Ausherman said the difference would be made up in a revenue from ticket sales.
Jed Davis, director of speech and drama and director of the University Theatre, said requesting only the amount guaranteed in the case, even though prices had sky-rocketed.
to $20,000 income category usually cannot qualify for financial assistance, school administrators say, but they can certainly use financial rewards for academic ex-
The Theatre is guaranteed 6.8 per cent (26,753.60) of the total allocation.
Davis said that less than half the conductors were paid by the student activity.
The schools offering these merit scholarships attract brighter students and tend to increase school enrollments, according to the school officials.
Students should fund the Theatre because it is in the University's "general civil government."
Enrollment at the University of Kansas, however, does not yet need any such bolstering. Max Griffin, assistant director of admissions, said he was expecting an increase in enrollment next year. But he said, he enrollment is going to decrease.
The International Film Series shows films free because of the activity fee, Craig Walker, Tulsa fifth year pharmacy student and chairman of the film series, said.
The series' request is the amount it is guaranteed—1.6 per cent ($255.20).
Walker said international student groups who want films should contact him. He said he had sent notices of the series' services to the film groups and had received a poor response.
The series needs a guaranteed percentage of the activity fee because films are contained in the system.
"We're going to reach a plateau and experience a decline," he said.
At schools where declining enrollment threatens to lower the quality of education, resourceful administrators are using a number of strategies to minister said $200 could be used to attract $4,000 in tuition. That's good business, he said. The rationale is that a small financial outlay can be used to attract more students otherwise would go to other schools.
Critics of scholarships based on merit say schools shouldn't squander money on students who don't really need them. The scholarships, they say, often are only academic clearance sales designed to increase enrollment and improve academics.
They argue that the scholarships not only waste money that could be spent on people who really need it but also force students to base academic decisions on finances.
