Rov Favors KC-Denver Trains
By KENN LOUDEN
Kaman Staff Reporter
Passenger train service between Kansas City and Denver is one of the top two routes under consideration by the U.S. Department, Rep. Bill Roy, D.Kan., said recently.
He said the federal government had assumed some of the burden of operational deficits when there are inadequate passenger revenues. Under the act, he said, the federal government would assume the operating losses and the federal government would assume the balance.
Roy said the Amtrak Improvement Act of 1973 provided for the addition of at least one experimental passenger route to the Amtrak system each year in an effort to meet the transportation needs of the United States.
"I am continuing to work in an effort to secure additional passenger rail service for Kansas. This service would be of economic value, nor more boutheast Kansas in particular," Roy said.
"Additionally, I do believe that such rail passenger service would be welcome in the rural areas of Kansas which are somewhat underserved by public transportation."
Dennis Shupp, Amtrak sales manager in Kansas City, Mo. that said he was not sure when the route would be completed in Kansas City.Derwervor route was a top priority route. He said the final decision laid with the Amtrak board and within the company refused to give his own opinion on the route.
Shupp said Amtrak was ready to meet the service demands of Kansas if the route were chosen. He said ridership had increased nearly 500 per cent in the last year.
"The gasoline shortage has created a 100 per cent turnover in the attitude of people toward Amtrak. We are also receiving top from the President and Congress," Shunn, sait.
Shupp said diesel fuel was still plentiful. Amitrak did increase its fare 5 per cent, he said, because of an increase in the price of fuel.
Criticism that the two Kansas law schools have been ineffective in providing competent lawyers was denied Friday by the University of Kansas School of Law.
Dickinson Denies Charges Of Ineffective Law Schools
Curt Schneider, assistant attorney general, said in a speech Thursday before the Supreme Court that law schools "had been ineffective in providing competent and qualified lawyers." The result was a sharp increase in felony convictions filed against Kansas attorneys, be said.
"Neglect of legal matter" and solicitation or "so-called ambulance chasing" are two of the more troublesome cases of violation, Schneider said.
Schneider attributed the increase to several factors, citing "the lack of ethical conduct which seems to permeate the Kansas Bar" as one. He also singled out the two Kansas law schools and the bar additions that emphasizes as contributing to the growing problem.
But Dickinson disaged, saying the increase in complaints was due to the establishment of a fulltime professional grievance administrator. The administrator's services are paid for by aibly $2 fee payed by Kansas lawyers, he said.
Dickinson said he thought the KU School of Law was doing a much better job of teaching professional ethics than in the traditional school setting. The ethics is part of the law school curriculum.
"In fact, about half of the sessions in the course are taught by practitioners, not teachers," said Dickinson, "including the grievance administrator, Earl Hatcher, and one justice of the Supreme Court of Kansas."
J. Elwood Sloyer, the assistant dean of the School of Law at Washburn University, Kansas only other law school, also discharged with Schneider's remarks about摩根斯大学。
"I don't think there is any great truth in the Slover said. "It's just one man's opinion."
Slover said the quality of Washburn's law students was going up. He said the school had many more applications and the students with higher grade point averages.
Washburn's law school also requires a course on professional ethics.
Medicinal Chemistry Topic of Conference
The 12th annual Medicinal Chemistry in Miniature Conference begins today and lasts through Wednesday in the Kansas Union.
A spokesman for the Federal Energy Office in Kansas City, Mo., said he did not know if an Amtrak route from Kansas City to Denver would save energy.
The conference, which is considered an innovation in graduate and undergraduate education, provides a forum for students to present and discuss the results of their research in the areas of design, synthesis and evaluation of potential new drugs.
He said that he called the main office in Washington and that no one had heard of the attack.

Reactions to the proposal in Lawrence varied. Barkley Clark, Lawrence city commissioner, he said thought a Kansas City-Denver railway would be a real shot in the arm for Lawrence because it would put it in line with other important cities in Kansas.
A lot of people had connections in western Kansas and it would save much energy, Clark said. It would especially help many students.
"My dream is that we will have rapid transit sometime and this is a step in the right direction," Clark said. "I used to take the train from Kansas City to Denver and it was a good train. I would like to see it made available again."
Kirk McAlexander, administrative assistant for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, was less enthusiastic. He said he had worked line depended on its economic feasibility.
He said that if the country decided that people would have to make their minds in Kansas City-Derby line would be valuable. People would have to make up their minds that they wanted to conserve energy he
"The Chamber of Commerce is trying to create an awareness of the possibility of a mass transit system," McAlexander said. "The Citizen Advisory Board is looking into the public transit need and is trying to find out if it is practical."
If Amtrak could provide this public transit need, McAlexander said, the Chamber of Commerce and the Citizen Advisory Board would certainly promote it.
Jim Postma, chairman of the Future Studies Committee for the Chamber of Commerce, said he should be looked at seriously by the Chamber of Commerce and the people of Lawrence. He said he would bring the possibility of the railway to the committee's
Student reaction to a Kansas City-Denver railway was favorable, although many students said that they had never taken a bus with them, with the benefits of a mass transit system.
Steve Atwood, Kinsley senior, said that he thought the route would benefit students in western Kansas. He said that if the route were built he would take the train in place of his car, especially if the gasoline shortage became crucial.
Cathy Peary, Denver junior, said she would take the train if it were cheaper than driving. She said that it would also be less expensive having to drive all the way to Denver.
She thought that the train would benefit University of Kansas students who lived in and around Denver and it might encourage young people to enroll at the University.
Most of the students questioned thought that the train would be beneficial to them or to the University. They cited cost, availability of gas, speed and convenience as factors influencing their decision to take the train.
