Probe Panel Is Termed Appropriate
By RALPH NICOL Kansan Staff Writer
Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. Tuesday called a university Council recommendation for an ad hoc committee to appropriate action between two extremes.
The Council, which drafted the recommendation June 28, said the committee would be charged with "reviewing the present procedures now employed for publicizing grants received, and the results of the research are disseminated."
Chalmers said that a committee following those guidelines would show whether the University was accurately assessing its research projects to the public.
HE SAID the work of such a committee would fall between extremes he described. He noted that the Coalition that the appropriateness of all research grants be investigated and the belief of some faculty members that research grants do not have to be made public was not true.
The ad hoc committee, according to the suggestions to the chancellor, would obtain from faculty members details of their research interests and other materials from the Office of Research Administration would be available to the committee only after a research director is appointed.
Chalimers said that this restriction was added to benefit faculty members whose teaching programs are not on campus.
If the committee finds violations of University policy on research, it is directed to report them to the vice chancellor for Research and Graduate Studies, William Argersinger, for further investigation and action.
THE COMMITTEE'S recommendations will be submitted to the chancellor and through him to various offices of the University and student government.
The chancellor said that all information about research grants was public. The University declared an end to classified research just after he came, Chalmers said, and even then it was not engaged in any.
CHANCELLOR Chailmers also reacted to a report by the Carnegie Commission on Higher education that colleges in the States should tighten their budgets for the next decade.
"Get ready?" Chalmers said.

"WE HAVE avoided comment on Hanoi propaganda broadcasts. We do not and have not targeted targets other than military targets. I have no information indicating other than military targets were hit."
The command announced in a report delayed by search and rescue operations that Soviet-built MIG interceptors had downed two Air Force M14 Phantoms on June 27 southwest of Hanoi. Two crewmen and two are missing, the command said.

Some of the findings of the Kansas Master Planning Commission (MPC) are as follows:
UAW Leader Could Back Humphrey or McGovern
DETROIT (AP)—United Auto Workers President Leonard Woodcock said Tuesday that he could support either George Cuvern or Hubert H. Humphrey president.
He said his statement did not constitute an endorsement.
The UAW chief said statements he made in a television interview in Detroit Monday were "misconstrued." He had been asked as endorsing the South Dakota senator.
I was not misquoted. The newman classified my statement as almost being a hoax.
Woodcock originally supported Sen. Edmund Muskie, D-Maine, for the nomination. But when Muskie dropped out of the race for primary votes, Woodcock was nominated, "I could gladly support either one."
studies conducted with regard to higher education in the United States.
"It looks as if McGovern is going to get it," Woodcock said Tuesday.
The MPC is currently attempting to outline the future of higher education in
According to Kenneth E. Anderson, executive director of MPC, the enrollment in Kansas universities and colleges is up 50 percent since he began school seniors. He said his prediction studies showed the number of seniors reaching a peak in 1976-77 and dropping to a low point in 1984-85. Then an upward trend years from 1983-86 and 1987-88 may occur.
His projections for enrollment are based on students presently in the elementary and secondary schools and on the number of live births in Kansas.
Anderson said that since 1955 the number of live births had continued to drop, with the low point in 1967. During the mid-1980s, he also had a lower rose. In 1971 the number again dropped.
The Carnegie Reports said that enrollment in colleges and universities would double in the years from 1960 to 1970 and increase by one-half in the years 1970
to 180. But there is expected to be no increase in enrolment from 180 to 1900
The size of individual campuses and their effectiveness are also discussed by the Carnegie Reports. The reports said that "some institutions are too small to be effective." The peril point for a university campus is 5,000, according to the report.
But the report said that a college or university could become too large and a point of reassessment was needed. For example, like KU, 20,000 is the maximum point.
According to the "Fourth Revision of Enrollment Projections for Colleges and Universities in the State of Kansas," prepared for the Kansas Education Commission, this report count for the source campus at the University of Kansas is about 22,000 in 1981.
Anderson said that based in terms of enrollment projects projected by the MPC, he did not think it was necessary for KU to keep from exceeding 20,000 by many.
He said this had to be qualified, however. For instance, if large industries like steel and rubber required

Miller Cites Youth, Education Issues
Editor's Note: This is the second in a series on local candidates.
By RALPH NICOL Kansan Staff Writer
When Morris Kay announced his candidacy for governor, he left the 45th District legislative seat without an incumbent. The first Republican candidate to file for that office was Dave Miller, 1972 KU graduate.
Miller said he believed that he could represent the 45th District effectively. He grew up in Eudora. He indicated that he had always been interested in politics, both with the University of Kansas, where he had been Treasurer of the Student Senate and President of the Student Body, and in state and local politics.
"I believe it is now unmistakably clear that Kansas is losing its great assets for the future, namely, its young people and its educational system. We must reverse these trends." Miller said in his announcement. "I am prepared to accept the challenges facing our state, with a commitment to a better future for Kansas."
"I don't think I'm going to make it so hard for me," she said, as an eighth grade student candidate, "Milton

emphasized. "I do encourage students to get involved in the primary."
Dave Miller
Education and its financing, however,
play a major issue to Dave Miller.
Miller thought that last year's legislature had shown some improvement in its attitude towards funding higher education, but he thought that a young person in the legislature could do even more to change the attitude.
"While working with the University, I've become more and more convinced of how what happens in the legislature has an impact on policy," he said, talking with legislators, alumni, and friends of the University. I also worked with concerned Students for Higher Education."
"WE HAVE to remember that a deterioration in the academic quality of the University may not show up immediately in one or two years, but once it does, it will take a lot more time and a lot of effort to make up for it." Miller emphasized.
"We also have to keep in mind that the law is important, Lawrence economically benefits."
Miller blamed friction between a Democratic governor and a Republican legislature for failing to find the funds to operate state programs ademultely.
Miller also considered taxation a complicated and important issue. He said that he believed that property taxes were too high, to the point that Kansas may be
facing a 'taxpayer revolt' if something was not changed.
"There are obviously no easy answers," Miller admitted. "One of the things I want to do in this campaign is to hear what the people of the district have to suggest about
MILLER STATED that he tended to not like a sales tax, because he said it was regressive. He was considering a tax on gasoline and gas and petroleum which leaves the state.
"It's something that is possible, but would have to be carefully checked out to make sure it wouldn't discourage the introduction of cats. If it means Kansan loses jobs," he said.
Miller was convinced he could represent all interests in the 45th District.
"I wouldn't want to win on the basis of some split between young and old, or university against the town," Miller stated. "However, if I am elected, I think it would be more difficult for me to legislate that I had overcome a supposed deficit of age to be elected."

and American forces have downed 149 MIGs, the command said.

World Asked to Share In Country's Birthday
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) - President Nikon invited the world in a holiday broadcast Tuesday to come to America and watch the event, "share our dreams of a brighter future."
The President specifically suggested that business and industry attempt to cut the costs of travel, lodging and meals, and that air carriers and shipping lines explore ways of offering inexpensive transportation.
In the nationwide radio address from the Western White House, Nixon spoke of plans for the nation's 200th birthday celebration in 1976 and said Americans should not lose their spirit again that the spirit of "76 is a spirit of openness, of brotherhood and of peace."

"Let us be known throughout the world as the 'Land of the open Door,'" the chief executive said. He voiced hopes that "million upon million of visitors' from around the world would respond to his message." United States during the bicentennial era.
"We are aware that a real structure of peace cannot be built on good will alone," he said. "It is foundation must be the reason which causes differences which can lead to war."
Nixon said one "compelling reason for this invitation to the world relates to our
"The United States is doing everything in its power to lay down that kind of foundation for peace," Nixon said, citing the war in Iraq and how his quest for nuclear arms limits.
One of the best ways to reduce the danger of war and enhance the quality of peace is through people-to-people contacts. Nixon said, adding:
"Nations, like individuals, stand a better chance of working constructively together if people on both sides can learn to respect one another as fellow human beings. Our invitation to the world can contribute significantly to that crucial process."
A small group of newsmen invited into the President's office after the address found him wearing a reddish sports coat, a white shirt and a blue tie—a color combination "appropriate for the 4th of July," Nixon said.
