University Summer Kansan
See the Bard
One of the fringe benefits of going to summer school at the University of Kansas is the opportunity to take advantage of many educational offerings. One that is particularly outstanding in the 1972 summer session is the Kansas Shakespeare Festival.
Saturday one of the major events of the Festival will begin: the KU production of "Twelfth Night." It is the first of three plays that will be presented this summer as part of the Festival. Other events include showings of famous Shakespearean movies each Sunday evening. For those attending the Festival for academic credit, these are educational opportunities unparalleled

almost anywhere in the world. Those of us going to summer school or living in Lawrence should realize the quality of investment and enrichment opportunities.
A Shakespeare play has been presented almost every year at the University of Kansas. This is the first time the entire summer session schedule of drama has been devoted to a single author. Here is your opportunity not only to learn more of Shakespeare, but also to enjoy good literature and experience that truly merits it so that the department of speech and drama will be encouraged to continue the Festival.
Parking Permit Prices...
Readers Respond
May I call your attention to an announcement of the June 20 issue in your reportage of the Chancellor's decision not to increase parking permit prices
The Chancellor's decision was an entirely independent one made by him after receiving the approval of the Trade Board and of the KU Senate Executive Committee, both of which proposed increases in the present permit cost for universities representing representations from the Executive Committee of the KU Chapter of the American University Professors, who urged the Chancellor to eliminate all
charges for parking at KU and, if this were not immediately possible, to freeze the costs at the present level. Thus, it is in error to deny that the decision resulted from a meeting "attended by the University Senate Executive Committee, the University Professors and the concerned chapter of the American Association of University Professors and the concerned chapter of the American Association of University Professors and the concerned parking patents at KU." (UKD, June 20) If such a meeting was held, the Executive Committee of the University was not present. That the Chancellor was responsive to the position of the Executive Committee of the University to his credit, and his decisions reported accordingly.
To the Editor:
The omission referred to above is that, again at the behest of the Executive Committee of the KU-Institute, faculty members that during the coming academic year, faculty members may secure their parking permits by sending a written solution to the time-wasting procedure of faculty members standing in lobby before a single meeting in the lobby of Hoch Auditorium.
The Executive Committee of the KU-AUAW wishes to express its appreciation to the Chancellor and to response to its representations.

Recycling Relies on Scrap Use
BY FRED BERMAN, President Institute of Scrap Iron and Steel
Although the concept of recycling is not new, we believe we would benefit greatly if this concept was now firmly entrenched itself in the United States. It is probably fair to say that most public is concerned, is beginning to give way to the realization that reclamation of land will be common.

The act of waste being collected in one or a group of locations cannot be construed as recycling. The act of converting waste into scrap which remains in the scrap processor's plant cannot be construed as recycling. Nothing is recycled until it is used as a product. Nothing is recycled until it is used as a product which then is sold in final form in the marketplace. The

Changes in Legislature Discussed by Committee
TOPEKA (AP)—Several major changes are being considered by the Kansas Legislative Budget Committee in discussion
Historical Feature
Prohibition Party Sought Support
In 1964, a third party was attempting to gain votes on the KU campus.
The Prohibition Party began a movement to contact all students interested in forming a Young Prohibition Association at KU, and brought the issue to the attention of the national media.
The Rev. Rolland E. Fisher, state chairman and vice chairman of the national executive committee of the Prohibition Party, said, "If the part is needed anywhere, it is needed on college and high school students, young people are thinking seriously about the problem of liquor."
E. HAROLD Munn of Hildalea, Mich., was the party's candidate for president. He had previously run for six offices on the Prohibition Party ticket. His running mate was the Rev. Mark R. Shaw of Melrose, Mass.
A section of their party platform concerning KU was, "Teachers must be selected on the basis of high moral character."
"The Kansas Prohibition Party is about as strong as any in the nation. Election laws have been so severe on minor parties in other states it has been difficult to get our slates of candidates on the ballots," Fisher said.
The Party placed advertisements in the Kansan, but the Oct. 8 issue reported that only one person had responded.
"ALL CANDIDATES should be given an equal opportunity to be heard," he said. "The American people should hear the views of all candidates."
A KU student, Dave Pomeroy, whose hobby was collecting information about lesser known political groups, said then that the
Mun visited the KU campus for the SUA Minorities Forum, and, in Kansas reported that he would change the party's name to America.
"Many people think we are a one plank party. We have 28 planks and only one of them deals with the alcohol problem. The other one deals with the drug problem."
He said the major areas his party stressed were strengthening constitutional government, watching government spending, balancing the budget, reviewing foreign aid and opposing communism.
of a proposed new legislative article for the state Constitution
The committee gave tentative approval Wednesday to provisions to be included in a "first draft" of the proposed article.
This draft would be used as a starting point for further discussion and changes, and the final conclusion could be radically different.
ONE MAJOR departure to be in business was the concept of making the legislature a "continuous body" for the two years of the term of House Speaker.
Under the continuous body condemnation subject only to law. In effect, this would allow the legislators to meet pretty well whenever they need it.
"It does not mean the lawmakers would be in session continuously," said a committee staff
member. "They could meet, go home, return.
"FOR EXAMPLE, the legislature could meet early in January, as it does now, have introduction committees to make a stateate for a while. Committees could meet and then the legislature come back into session."
It might mean that the legislature would choose to meet for a month, go home for three monarchs for another month, and so on.
The first draft of the proposed article will include revised provisions governing the signing of bills and vetoes by the governor. A major aim is to give an older more time to consider bills.
The so-called pocket veto, an indirect veto where the governor merely fails to sign a bill after the governor has gone home, was be abolished.
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Price Commission, deciding Wednesday that "firm and immediate action" was necessary to halt the sharp rise in food prices, recommended that the Cost of Living Council impose controls over agricultural products.
The commission made the decision during a day-long meeting, but a spokesman stopped short of recommending the precise recommendation.

Air Controllers Get Most Ulcers
By C. G. McDANIEL
CHICAGO (AP)—Air traffic controllers have the highest incidence of peptic ulcers of any known group, said a physician he studied these workers. He blamed it on one factor: stress.
Grayson, of suburban St. Charles, is president of the American Academy of Air Traffic Control Medicine.
This stress, said Dr. Richard R. Grayson, grows out of the controller's fear of causing a collision of airplanes.
HE REPORTED at a recent envy and the department of psychiatry of Northwestern University in all 11 air traffic control zones.
He examined these men in the year after a sickout staged in March 1970 by the controllers in dispute with the Federal Aviation
Eighty-six of them had symptoms of peptic ulcer serious and they were referred to radiologists. Sixty-six were found to have some sort of gastrointestinal illness, including 36 with peptic ulcer.
THIS RATE OF 32.4 per cent with peptic ulcer represents the highest incidence of any group of diseases in this historical literature, Grayson said.
Administration, their employer.
For this group of workers, the physician said, "in a sense there is only one stress—the cone of fear of causing a midair collision."
He said estimates of near-collision on inflight planes ranged
from 2,500 to 7,500 a year in the United States.
After one close one, the controller was quoted as saying, "I felt bad when I got out of my automobile accident and had come out of it unscathed. I was nauseated, felt weak, my heart was racing and my hands were wounds."
ONE CONTROLLER R at a busy airport, whose case was cited, estimated that he was involved in at least 50 near collctions in two
Grayson said, "A narrowly middera alight collision caused by one of these conscientious, punctilious young men has the same effect on him as if he had been captured death by a hair's breath."
The symptoms that follow include anxiety, insomnia, shortness of sleep, and "plus their spin-off effects of other sensory animals, and the interpersonal animosity.
THERE ARE not enough contests, and those who are working are fatigued from the lack of rest periods, too much overtime work, too little training.
Frequent shift rotation throws the controllers' biological rhythms out of equilibrium, the physician said, and noise, poor lighting, crowded working conditions for rest and recreation during breaks further contributes to the symptoms.
meets this morning to consider the commission's recommendations.
The council has authority to extend controls to raw agricultural products, which by government and with live animals and vegetables.
Asked if the commission is anticipating a decision by the council on food prices, the spokesman said. The council definition is definitely hoped for some.
The commission spokesman said the seven-member agency "is not currently recommending a food price." on food prices.
THAT WAS among discussions discussed at the session, along with removal of the example from the price increase, limiting price increases to a dollar-for-dollar past rule of cost, and reducing prices to hold down food prices.
Since President Nixon imposed a wage-free freeze last Aug. 15, raw agricultural products have been exempt from controls.
One reason is that the government feels that controlling a volatile market might adversely affect supply and demand.
The commission declined to disclose its recommendations on the recommendation study by the staff, the spokesman said. But pressed on the issue, he said the commission wanted to see if it considered the recommendation.
