According to John Hill, assistant director of residence hall systems. Hashinger is getting pianos, drafting tables, a complete darkroom, ceramic and wood floors, looms, sewing machines, three stereo listening systems and a weight-lifting room.
"We're responding to the kinds of questions we felt we would be able to offer something more in broadening some sturdy educational resources," said Hilda Muller.
the housing office had 120 contracts for Hashinger and there had been 168 applications to Grunz, assistant dean of women.
Although Hashinger's capacity is about 350, Grunz said that the number of contracts compared to his upper-class residence halls.

NAACP Condemns Nixon
"We want to provide more than just a place to sleep. Everything you do here browns your expence, other than just going to the park, and more than just how to get alon with your neighbor." Hill said
DETROIT (AP)—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) unanimously adopted an emergency resolution Tuesday condemning President Nixon for his news and "passions of hate and bitterness" among Americans.
Roy Wilkins, executive director of the NAACP, said the resolution "condemns Nixon because Nixon was president of both States and has no business leading the fight for a constitutional amendment against
Wilkins said the resolution, passed by the 2,500 delegates to the convention, stated "Nixon, in calling for a moratorium on federal court-ordered busing and travel to prescribe busings in cases that
have come before them, was interfering with one of the three branches of government—the judiciary."
He said the resolution was not aimed mainly at condemning Nixon, but was meant to point up the business of antiburging legislation.
In their resolution, the delegates said: "We call upon all units of the NAACP and all of our schools to participate in and sophisticated attempts at perpetuating dualism in American society by keeping black children contained in educational compounds."
The nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization said Nixon "has ever made a mishap" in the campaign for the enactment of a
constitutional amendment for forcing busing the purpose of firearms does not act in plainer language or request for a paragraph.
Earlier Tuesday, the chairman of the NAACP board of directors criticized the Nixon administration's civil rights policies.
He said the "NAACP is at war with Richard Nikon," and added that his resolution opposing the President's re-election was a major concern.
"The sentiment of this convention is against Nixon," said Bibbey. "We like to adhere to our history of not endorsing or opposing a candidate, but Nixon's is so blatantly anti-Negro."
Several Participants Study Jefferson Co. Environment

Research is the primary concern of the Nelson Environmental Studies Program, which is being conducted on approximately 450 acres of land near Jersey Center of jersey County.
Under the auspices of the Division of Biological Sciences Field Facilities Committee, directed by D. Brien, assistant professor, systematics and ecology, researchers from undergraduate honors students to professors emeritus, are building up detailed information in a wide range of environmental studies.
A LARGE-scale rodent study in ecological engineering conducted by Michael Gaines, assistant professor of systematics and ecology.
"There is no central direction to this, and the feeling is that there really shouldn't be. We're looking for a common pool of data by monitoring one location in our place," O'Brien said recently.
"It's very representative of the prairie forest ecosystem of eastern Kansas." O'Brien said.
THE NELSON Environmental Studies Area was purchased by the University of Kansas in 1970 to establish a place where environmental studies could be performed in order to effectively, the location must be one that will not be affected by surrounding communities, he said.
O'Brien and Frank Cross, state biologist are doing a limnological survey of the farm ponds in the area.
Robert Eastmord, research associate and plant ecologist, is engaged in an experimental study of the effects of air quality on plants. He plans to undertake community analysis of this area.
There is a weather station on the land, which provides data for a major study being done by the Air Pollution program.
THE HOPE is that the work being done by these people and others involved in the program will give results that will be of use to staff, management officials and land management planners, according to O'Brien.
Geologic studies of weathering and erosion are being conducted by Frank Wilson, geologist and director of Geological Survey.
The condition of the section of land being used for the studies is comparatively idea because it requires the property. This means that all the water on the land drains into a common stream Consequently the water can be controlled and is not affected by any pollutants which may come from fertilization of the surrounding area, he said.
Arab Country Resumes Ties with United States

BEIRUT. Lebanon (AP)—The BEIRUT has chalked up a success in improving its standing as a regional leader, which may be on the verge of record.
Over the weekend, North Yemen became the first Arab country to resume ties with the United States since the war. Sudan said he elf al Nunairi said he was seriously considering the same move.
But five Arab states that broke relations with Washington after the 1967 Arab-Israeli war remain hostile.
In a speech Sunday he said, "We look forward to the day when the few remaining states in the Arab world will take a similar step in the interest of more northerners' peace and stability in the area."
