Kansas Oldsters Are Really Older
By JACK HAWKS
The bumper sticker, "I'm not a Dirty Old Man; Just a Sexy Senior Citizen," may have something to do with his name.

Kansas residents, according to the federal government, can expect to live longer than预期 (预计), while Iowa, Statisticsians have calculated that Kansas live an average of 71.80 years, just five hundredths more.
Residents in Lawrence and elsewhere in Kansas have taken up organized dancing and other social activities to thwart loneliness which often pervades the lives of the elderly.
Yet, an underlying result of such activity may be relatively longer life-spans. The bumper sticker may have a hidden meaning if, indeed, increased risk of injury at an advanced age is the key to a longer life.
Many explanations have been advanced to account for such long lives, and the elderly people lean on them.
"It will the live to love and think you," says Julia Foster of 3023 low St., who recently celebrated her 71st birthday. "I've retired twice, but I've never been able to quit completely."
Foster is the administrator of the Lawrence Nursery Home nursing at 345 Florida St. and has been a principal since 1982.
Her secret, she says, comes from keeping a young view of people while still relating to older people. She is always curious about how women and has always maintained a steadfast independence. Even now, she is determined to get around for herself, and it is to this determination and independence, she says, that she attaches her

life-spans of Kansans and Midwesterners in general.
Alexander, however, says 'that the primary reason is a strong will to live'
Another theory of longevity is hard work
When the will to live is great, you'll live longer.
When the mind goes (bases this will), the body goes.
Les Protier, 67, of 630 N. 5th St., who is semi-retired from his automobile repair shop in Lawrence, stresses the working versatility of Kansans and calls Kansas the "cando" state.
"Kansans have a working tradition with their hands and bodies in such occupations as mechanics, carpentry and farming," says Proctor. "We are the leaders in these fields—we can do it all."

Mitchell Trial First to Use Nixon's Tapes
NEW YORK (AP)—John W. Dean III admitted yesterday that he withheld from President Nixon a request by John N. Mitchell to cool a "runaway grand jury" that was on the trail of Mitchell, President Nixon's former attorney general.

"Wasn't this the period when you were telling the truth to the President—all the truth?" Dean, the former White House counsel, was asked.
Dean still was on the witness stand when the trial recessed until 9:45 a.m.
today.
"Yes, indeed." Dean replied with emphasis.
Dean's testimony occasionally brought the mild rebuke from Judge Lee Gagliardi, when the witness testified with undue verbosity to a question best suited for him.
Dean also said that he had seen no need to the President that Mitchell had asked him to call the President's own attorney general about what was going on with the investigation.
Most of the day was devoted to a sustained defense attack on Dean's credibility as a government witness. During the course of the cross-examination, partial transcripts from two White House tapes plus sections of a House outline relating to a third tape were employed by defense attorneys.
A government spokesman said it was the first time such evidence relating to presidential conversations ever had been introduced at a criminal trial.

Jury Report Goes to House
WASHINGTON (AP)—An olive green satchel containing grand jury information bearing on President Nixon and Watergate is in the hands of the House Judiciary Committee for use in its impeachment inquiry.
The information was hand-carried yesterday from the security of the U.S. Courthouse safely to the promised safety of the committee's offices.
"As far as the court is concerned, the transaction is now complete," said U.S. District Judge John J. Sirtica, who ordered that Mr. Browne pay everything the grand jury turned over to me."
Senate to Consider Late Requests From 2 Clubs for Student Funding
By JACK McNEELY Kansas Starr Reporter
Late requests from two student groups for funds from the student activity fee will be considered by the Student Senate during budget hearings later this semester.
StudEx referred the late requests to Stuart just as it did the requests that were on hold.
The two groups, the International Club and the Soccer Club, submitted their requests after the Feb. 28 deadline, Mike Steinmetz, Lawrence graduate student and student body treasurer, said at a Student Committee meeting (StudEx) meeting Sunday night.
StudEx stipulated, however, that the senate would consider the late requests after it had approved the budget allocations for the other groups.
There was some debate about whether the late receptions should be accepted at all.
"This gives a different status to their requests but it doesn't set any irreversible precedent," John Beisner, Salina junior and student body president, said.
Ample notification of the deadline was
given, Steinmetz said.
"I think it sets a bad precedent to relax this policy," he said. "It puts any group in a position to pressure us right up to the day of the hearings."
Steimetz said the StudEx action meant that any group could still submit a request for study.
The new requests bring the total asked from the activity fee to $570,650.29.

The senate can apportion only $934,74.80. The senate is using a new budgeting procedure, under which each student group's request for funds will be heard by one of the standing committees of the past, one committee hear all requests.
The Finance and Auditing Committee recommended that the senate give priority to requests from groups that demonstrated failure, so it could succeed in meeting their objectives.
The senate's own request for funds from the student activity fee is lower than the amount that was granted to it last year because several groups that were drawing
from the senate's account will no longer be doing so. Beiser said.
Those groups are the Emporium Book Store, the International Film Series, the Liberal Arts and Sciences Program instructors and the Reclamation Center.
Of those groups, only the International Film Series has submitted a request for funding.
Beisner said another reason the senate's request was lower than the amount granted last year was that he had asked the senate to fund the Hillon Day Care Center.
Beisner said affirmative action guidelines, which bound the University, required the administration to fund a day care center.
The senate gave $18,000 from its own allocation to the center last year, Beiser钢
A percentage of the total allocation is guaranteed to six of the groups that applied to the study.
They are intercollegiate athletics, which comprises women's intercollegiate sports

Under committee rules only Chairman Peter W. Rodin Jr., D-N.J, and Rep. Edward Hutchinson of Michigan, the senior lawyer in the two top lawyers can study the material.
RODING SAID THE grand jury report and documentation would be held under the committee's confidentiality rule and kept in a secure document evidence in heavily guarded spaces.
He said, however, the committee deadline of April 20 for the end of the impaction was December 31.
"We're keeping that as a target date, but it doesn't seem likely at this," he said.
THE TECHNIQUE OF *CUSTAR* Confidential but the grand jury report in court arguments.
THE ACTUAL TURNOVER was in the seclusion of Sirica's jury room. It was an occasion more for cataloguing than ceremony.
When it completes its study, the 38-member House committee will recommend whether the full House should vote on the impeachment question.
The U.S. Court of Appeals, in a 5-1 vote, turned down objections from lawyers for two of the indicted men, H. R. Haldeman and Gordon Strachan, that their clients' rights to a fair trial would be jeopardized by expected leaks from the committee.
The materials handed Sirica on March 1, along with indictments of seven former Nixon White House and re-election aides, bear "on matters within the primary jurisdiction of the committee in its current inquiry," Sirica said in his order.
The first outsiders to see the materials in the leather satchel were John Dour and Albert Jenner, the counsel and minority counsel of the committee.
They went over the materials with the judge, item by item, which took two hours. Then, with police守望 their way, they approached the offices in a converted Capitol Hill hotel.
"I have no comment at all about the material and I will make no comment,"
He and Jenner presented the judge a letter from Rodino authorizing the turf-
Observing the proceedings was Peter Kreinder of the special prosecutor's office.
THE ORIGINAL WATERMATEG
grand jury heard evidence for more than 20
years.
The jurors detailed 45 "overt acts" in the conspiracy indictment covering all seven, including meetings at which President Nixon was known to be present. There is no mention of the President in the listing of acts.
Haldeman's lawyer, John J. Wilson, told the Court of Appeals he assumed that the grand jury's evidence included a tape recording of a meeting March 21, 1973, when Nixon allegedly heard of payments to the Watergate defendants to keep them quiet.
Haldeman and former counsel John W. Dean III were in that meeting and one of the counts against Haldeman is that he lived in Brooklyn, where he says such payments would be wrong.
ASSISTANT SPECIAL WATERGATE prosecutor Philip Lacovara told the appeals court hearing that the materials included an *index* which lists events involving the grand jury found may be important or pertinent to the impeachment inquiry.
Indigence Musn't Limit Candidacy Search Rules Eased, Court Says
WASHINGTON (AP)—States may not bar otherwise qualified candidates from the ballot because they can't afford to pay a fee on the Supreme Court ruled yesterday.
In two other election law cases, the justices said state legislatures would have to justify limitations on the right to run for office under the Supreme Court's strictest scrutiny.
The court said states must show compelling need before they placed burdens on the access of candidates to the ballot. The compelling-need requirement is the
strictest standard used by the court in establishing restrictions on government
In another decision, the court relaxed restrictions on the search and seizure of evidence.

The election decisions dealt with lawa governing ballot access of independents and unions.
But, he said, "Selection of candidates solely on the basis of ability pay a fixed fee for each candidate. The means is not reasonably necessary to accomplishment of the state's legitimate objectives."
At the time the case began its journey through the courts, California required a fee to run for the state attorney general to run for the state board of Supervisors and $982 to run for governor. In the second case, the court approved Texas' complex system of regulating in-ground water use.
In an opinion written by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, the court said California couldn't retain its filing fee requirement for ballots obtained in other states without alternative means of ballot access.
Britain Borrows $2.5 Billion to Aid Economy
The chief item on their agenda, the search for a "conceptual breakthrough" to produce a new treaty to limit nuclear weapons, was shelved temporarily. If a treaty is agreed upon, Nixon could sign it at a summit conference in Moscow next summer.
Britain announced yesterday a $2.5 billion loan that would help resolve what the government called the nation's gravest economic situation since 1987.

Digging Begins for Mass Chicken Burials
Bulldozers ripped deep into a wooded area of Mississippi yesterday to dig the first of many burial sites for millions of broiler chickens contaminated with cancer.
"We don't like to the chickens killed," said H. P. McCarthy, a broiler raiser. "But this will show the people that not one of these birds will ever eat."
McCarty was ready to kill and bury 1.6 million of his chickens; he faces the prospect of eventually losing up to 3 million birds. As many as 11 million chickens in Mississippi may have to be destroyed because of the contamination.

Senate Okays Pay Bill
TOPEKA (AP)—The Senate approved 23-16 a giant pay raise bill yesterday which contains increases for government workers from the county courthouse to the
However, passage did not come before several senators had castigated their fellow legislators for voting themselves a 250 per cent base salary increase.
Seven Republicans and nine Democrats opposed the bill on the final roll call, which sent it back to the House for consideration of the bill. Four Republicans supported the bill 79-40 earlier in the d.y.
Included in the all-encompassing bill's an increase in legislators' daily pay from $1 to $35, plus a token $1-a-day increase in expense allowance which will provide higher compensation in ever-all compensation. The jump will be $5,800 about to annually $100.
Also in the bill are a 5.5 per cent cost-of-living increase for the state's nearly 40,000 employees, raises ranging from 10 to 75 per cent for some elected and appointed state officials, increases of 14 to 21 per cent for those employed with more than two increases for many county employees.
The pay increases, which would take effect in January 1975, are estimated to cost $400 million.
Some representative increases include raising the governor's salary 75 per cent from $20,000 to $33,000; increasing the attendant fee from $15,000 to $25,500; raising the chief justice's

Sen. Frank Gaines, D-Augusta, led opposition to the legislative pay raise, but failed in an attempt to have that part taken out of the bill.
"I would be voting for my own pay increase," said Gaines, noting that senators had two more years to serve in their four-year terms. "I feel the image being created
He noted that workers at the University of Kansas Medical Center had been on strike and were due to receive only the 5.5 per cent pay "while we have this proposal before us."
"Aren't we saying we're walking away from a citizen-type legislature and going to a paid, professional legislature?" Gaines asked.
He said the legislative pay raise should have come in a separate bill, and suggested a better way would be to have an印象深刻 recommendation recommend legislative pay increases.
'I'm not willing to stand on this floor and raise my salary 20 per cent.' Sen. George Pataki said.
However, Sen. Jack Janssen, D-Lyons, said, "It's very popular to vote against a pay increase for yourself and then tell your constituents. I'm very sorry the House took about a month increase in non-session months out of it. I think we greatly underpaid."
