Dykes Spends First Semester Improving KU Image By BETH RETONDE Kansan Staff Reporter Long hours, public relations and devotion to the University and to higher education have characterized Chancellor Arche R. West semester at the University of Kansas. His efforts to meet the public and to improve KU's image have included much time spent traveling throughout the state to attend events and to speak to alumni and civic groups. Max Bickford, executive secretary of the Kansas Board of Regents, says one of the reasons the chancellor is successful is that Dykes is "willing to work 8 hours a day." REGENT HENRY BUBB says Dykes' public relations efforts are even more successful than those of W. Clarke Wescoe, who was popular here and throughout the state. In reference to his public relations efforts. Dykes says he thinks it is important to build and improve public understanding and learning. Consequently, he says, he has devoted much time trying to help people understand the University's mission and what make KU an institution of the first rank and what the University means to the social, cultural, intellectual and professional life. Mert Buckley, Wichita senior and student body president, says that assessing the chancellor's work during his first semester he removed any doubts he had about Dykes. "At first I had reservations. I felt there might be too much p.r. and not enough room." the man focus of his public relations efforts has been to improve KU's resources, which, Dykes says, are primarily money-oriented. "As time goes on, I feel he's getting to the roost of my family. He's. He's impersonating the people of the state." "IT MAY SOUND crass to say it, but sooner or later most of the problems of the University at this point in time get back to the matter of resources," he said. He says to have a good faculty, a good library and adequate research equipment, the resources must be available to provide them. Dykes' efforts to gather and dispense information and to unify and strengthen the administrative structure of the University are a critical positive effect of his presence on campus. Keith Nicher, vice chancellor for business affairs, saves he thinks the most noticeable impact of Dykes' administration on the business office is the chancellor's interest in making information available to people on campus and across the state. The effect of this, he says, is the favorable reaction by state officials to budget changes. THIS FAVORABLE interest in the University has increased. Nitchea says, between 1980 and 2000, more students were enrolled. "The state officials' desire to participate and assist the University's allocations certainly has increased and much of it due to Cancellor Dykes." Nitcher says. "I believe that the more information people have the greater the level of understanding. And the greater the level of support." Dykes said. Sen. Robert Bennett, O'Reverland Park, president of the Kansas Senate, says he wants to make his plans.

Henry M. Jackson, whose subcommittee on investigations held three days of hearings last week on the energy crisis, said yesterday that gasoline rationing may be necessary by 2035 to reduce the Arab nations resumed oil shipments. The president of the American Petroleum, institute, Frank N. Icardi, said he would follow the example set by the company. going to be in a posture where gas rationing may well be a reality," he said. "I don't think there's much doubt about it unless there are some developments overseas that would indicate that we will get extra crude material." ★ ★ Hawaii Rationing Gasoline; Emergency Plan in Effect Details of the program were announced over the weekend by acting Gov. George HONOLULU (AP)—The nation's first mandatory gas rationing program goes into effect today in Hawaii and the larger islands, when the long lines at local service stations. It is based on the odd-even license plate concept, similar to Oregon's voluntary program. Cars with odd-numbered license plates can fill up on odd numbered days, and cars with even-numbered plates can get gasoline on even-numbered days. Emergency vehicles are exempt. Other details were: -There will be no gasoline sales on weekends; - Stations must open at 6 a.m. or earlier, be must close during rush hour traffic. *Cars eligible for fuel have no more than one-quarter tank of gasoline when the pull cord is released.* Aryiosh noted that the program—which he described as "emergency rules and regulations"—was put together in less than three days. "This plan is not perfect," he said. "We may have to modify it, but we're doing this to bring things back to normal for Hawaii drivers." He said he would set up a special committee to formulate a coupon-type gasoline rationing program. "In case we need something more drastic, we want to be ready." Aryoshi explained. "I'm not saying the next step will be handing out a certain amount of gasoline to each driver . . . but we have to be ready if the situation does not improve." The gasoline shortage had been growing worse since early December, and panic buying, with motorists filling up even if they really need the fuel, compounded the problem. The haste with which the program was drawn up, however, was prompted, in part, by a series of training weeks. A motorist was clubbed with a tire iron during a fight after another motorist tried to cut into a line. Another station, the same station, was blasted with several shot rounds. A voluntary rationing plan had been scheduled to go into operation F. 4, but Ariyoshi said "an emergency situation" existed and he announced last Thursday that a mandatory plan would go into effect today. He called on the state's consumer protector, Ronald Amemiya, and other state officials to hold public hearings Friday and Saturday, then announced details of the rationing plan. His announcement has the force of law. "We think the gasoline situation will be extremely tight in the spring and the late spring and early summer," he said on the NBC program "Meet the Press." "Hopefully, if everything goes well we will not have to ration." JACKSON, D WASH, after that to avoid "deep trouble" after April 1 "we'd probably need one million barrels a day" of Arab oil. He said 900,000 barrels were arrived directly from Arab nations before the oil embargo began last autumn. He appeared on the CBS program "Face the Nation." Reminded that Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger has indicated the embargo will end soon—a point with which Haird acknowledged it is simply not a reliable basis on which to plan. Discussing fuel prices, Ibard said he beid not think gasoline prices would reach the $1- 3 billion mark. - adjusting the oil depletion allowance by lowering it for large companies and raising it for smaller companies.

The Chinese Embassy, which recently subscribed to a newspaper in Mexico city, found out yesterday it won a furious foul. The newspaper and the weekly lottery for new subscribers. Embassy Wins Home in Lottery It wasn't known what the embassy would do with the prizes. Jackson said the hearings held by the permanent subcommittee on investigations, of which he is chairman, "ended corporate secrecy in the oil industry." "WE ESTABLISHED PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY," he said. "We ended this idea that they're a law unto themselves. Overseas they had been operating as if they had direct authority from the State Department. American foreign and defense policy." pleased with the way Dykes has taken command at KU. ALTHOUGH THERE IS a natural reluctance on the part of legislators to increase the governor's budget requests, Bennett says he thinks respect for Dykes legislators favourable to the 10 percent salary increased originally requested by the resents. "He has excellent rapport with most of the legislators and, more importantly, with the public." Vogel Knocks Legislative Abuses Most bills come before the rest of the House as committee bills, he says. One of the best ways to get a bill through to work with members of the appropriate committee, he says, and then submit the bill through the committee if acceptance seems likely. Rv ROR MARCOTTE He relates several factors to the successful passage of a bill. Submitting so many bills, he says, ties up legislative research people, the revision office and the work of several legislative committees. In the end, he says, most of the bills will probably be killed or given such consideration, but won't be given consideration this session. Kansan Staff Reporter "About the only thing he's accomplished to let people know he has his name on a lot of places." Twelve years in the Kansas House of Representatives have taught John Vogel, R-Lawrence. He was about to be elected and. And when it underpates the flood of new legislation that has been submitted this session in the Kansas legislature, it is obvious to him that the hearing will not happen. "A legislator should have the right to introduce legislation he feels is good for his district," Vogel says, but he described the 80 bills in one day as "absurd." Brezhnev's visit is the first by a top Kremiln leader to the Caribbean island since Premier Alexei N. Kosign spent five days there in October, 1971. Prime Minister Fidel Castro made his third trip to Moscow in the summer of 1972. Havaiana radio, monitored in Miami, said Brezhnev was coming to Cuba "for an official friendly visit" at Castro's invitation. The increase in favor among state officials was also expressed by Bubb at the governor's budget hearings in November. **DIKWKS Page.2** Some foreign observers believe Russia would welcome a Cuban-American arrangement and that Brezhnev will push for this in his talks with Castro. The east-west running Prek Thnut River is considered the southern defense zone of the capital.

Standard Oil Net Income Up 55 Per Cent He says, Dykes' persuasiveness has resulted in a proposal by Gov. Robert Docker for an 8.5 per cent increase next year in faculty salaries rather than the 5 per cent increase recommended by the state budget director. The Standard Oil Co. of Ohio announced yesterday that its 1973 net income increased 55 per cent over 1972, despite a drop in earnings the final quarter Sohi, the latest of the major oil companies to announce increased profits for the year, said net income increased $31.9 million over 1924. Fourth-quarter figures are not yet available. Oil Companies Cut Corners on Taxes Mobil Oil Co. said Friday that its profits rose 47 per cent last year, and earlier in the week Exxon Corp., the nation's largest oil company, announced it would buy A New Treasury Department report shows American oil companies used the foreign-tax credit to cut their 1971 U.S. taxes by 75 per cent, Sen Walter F. Palmer said. He said the Treasury report showed that U.S. oil companies slashed their taxes due to the United States from $3.2 billion to $788 million, simply by lowering the tax rates. "This extraordinary use of the foreign-tax credit reinforces the long-standing suspicion that the big multinational oil companies have worked out special deals with the Arab shiekhs to jack up their foreign-tax credits."

British Miners Strike; Industry Threatened "If the miners do decide to go for a strike, the situation will be that we shall not on a three-day week but something much less," he said. Anxiety over labor strife and threatened industrial breakdown have already pushed public attitude to the point that army troops are reported to be on their knees. Lord Carrington, Britain's energy minister, said yesterday an all-out effort by the nation's coal miners could reduce Britain's industry to a two-way trade. Save Fuel, Bathe with a Friend The Gas Board's advertisement shows a man and woman in a tub and is captioned: "Put a bit of romance into your bath by sharing the water." Lawmaker John Stokes said the ad was "deplorably vulgar and in the worst possible taste." The gas industry in England is urging couples to save fuel by sharing a bath, but the campaign is drawing fire from conservative politicians. Usually the legislators who are getting too much done are the ones who are involved in the lawmaking process. Second in a Series because they've done their "homework" and know what the outcome of the bill will be. Working in this way, a legislator can give a lot of "input" to a committee bill that will never bear his name, Vogel says. But the procedure is part of a legislator's homework; you don't do your homework while you're on vacation, you don't get the job done," he says. "Tiring is very important concerning times of legislation," Vogel says. "There are times when you bring them up and they're killed; other times they go through." "One thing you learn in a hurry," he says, "If you say something and give your word on it, you'd better not renge on it unless you're really able to explain to the person why you're doing it." Rep.

House proponents of more direct state funding of special and vocational education will be unlikely to go along with a faculty class that is designed for their own demands are accepted, he says. The recent indictments involving Gov. Docking's brother in the awarding of architectural contracts have had no effect on them, but the government Vogel says and probably won't have any, "In fact," he said, "there's been very little said even among the Republicans concerning the indictments because they're sorry it happened—we all want the citizens of Kansas to have faith in their state government," he says. The problem might not even have come up in the first place, Vogel says, if Docking hadn't vetoed bills on two separate occasions that would have taken the appointment of architects' contracts out of the administration's hands. Vogel says he is encouraged that legislative leaders have been taking more initiative in recent years in developing policies, often regardless of the governor's plans. Vogel says he thinks Docking has always been straightforward, even in his criticism, and that the governor's harassment of legislators in past years has done some good in spurring legislative leaders to take more initiative. "It's not up to the governor to initiate all of the legislation," he says. "That's what we need." "It makes for better government that way," he says. Fire Traded for 2nd Day Along Golan Heights Front Syrian and Israeli gunners traded tank and artillery fire on the Golan Heights for the second straight day yesterday, and the Israeli soldiers were killed or wounded. Bv the Associated Press The Israeli military command denied any such casualties, and reports from the two sides also differed on the length of the clashes. Syrian communiquen reported two separate shelling duels, a 40-minute exchange on the southern sector of the front and another to the north lasting nearly two Syria said that at least 10 Israelis were hit in the first exchange and that at least 30 were hurt in the second. In addition, the reports said Israel lost 11 artillery batteries, a rocket base, a munitions dump and other equipment. The communique said four Syrians were wounded and one Syrian truck was destroyed. Israel's Cabinet said that it was willing to discuss troop disengagement with Syria as soon as the Damascus government submits lists of Israeli war prisoners and permits Red Cross visits. The statement was issued after the Cabinet studied secret proposals brought from Damascus last weekend by U.S. Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger. About 100 Israelis have been held by Syria since the end of the October Middle East In New York, Kissinger said he was "moderately optimistic" about getting the starts started and ending the Golan Heights clashes. He made his comments on the way to a meeting with United Nations Secretary-General Walthelm at U.N. headquarters. Afterwards Waldheim said they had discussed the Middle East situation and the prospects of an Israeli-Jordanian disengagement agreement.
