Ted's 'No' Ends Rumors
McGovern Just Shy of Call
Rv The ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sen. George McGovern marched to the threshold of the Democratic presidential nomination Wednesday with a near-awe-inspiring in New York's climatic presidential
Sen. Edward M. Kenneley declared flatly and "as finally as I can" that under no circumstances would he accept a spot on the national ticket in 1972.
And Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, sharply opposed govern positions he has said could impel governors he has said could impel governors he has said South Dakota senator a 3-1 favor for nomination, but maintained that his nominee was correct.
The outcome that took shape Wednesday after a long, lagged count of the complex and confusing ballot in the Tuesday New York primary is expected and confirmed 225 delegates of 248 at stake.
THAT MEANT his supporters had won all but 12 of the delegate races they contested, and it also meant McGovern would gain another bloc of New York delegates Saturday, to push his state total to at least 250.

There is no threat of a rabies epidemic in Douglas County, Dr. Dale Clinton, director of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, said Wednesday.
Dr. Clinton's statement came after it was reported Tuesday that a live skunk at the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History had rabies.
Steven Edwards, administrative assistant at the Museum of Natural History, said two baby skunks, pets of a deer, were born to Lawrence brought to Lawrence from Hutchinson.
One of the skunks died and the other became ill. Edwards said.
It was reported that the skunks were kept at a house on Indiana St, and that the deers were kept at the Ranch.

The Democratic State Committee will choose 30 delegates then to complete a 278-vote delegation, biggest at the Democratic Convention, with the selections to be in
After that, only 42 Democratic delegates remain to be selected.
THE NEW YORK competition, in which McGoventry was the only major candidate and his opposition came largely from uncommitted entries turned out this way:
Uncommitted. 17 delegates.
Rep. Shirley Chisolm of New York, four delegates.
Edmurd S. Muskie of Maine, one delegate of A Muskie supporter was ahead in the debate.
McGovern forces said at least five of the committed defenders would return in a vote, but no one has signed off.
McGovern himself said in Washington that by midnight Saturday, he expected to have 1,407 first-ballot nominating votes. It will take 1,509 to nominate when the Democratic National Convention begins balloting in Miami Beach in three weeks.

The McGovern forces hoped to pry lowe the delegates for first-ballot nomination by seeking delegates not uncommitted, or aligned with other entries.
Kennedy, who had left open the possibility he might accept second place on a McGovern ticket if he was convinced that Mr. Trump had closed it with a statement in Washington.
He said it was issued in response to a New York Times story on the call of Matthew Troy, a Queens Democratic leader, for a "legitimate, full blown" vicepresidential draft of the Massachusetts senator.
Manhattan's rep. Bella Abzug lost her House seat to Rep. William F. Ryan in a primary contest of Democratic interest into competition by reboundment.
THE KENNEDY statement;
"Because of a story which appeared in the New York Times this morning, and in evidence of it, we are on the part of the press or any doubt in the minds of the delegates to the Democratic National Convention, or the public, I wish to thank you for your support. There are no circumstances under which I
McGovern told a New York news conference he wouldn't make any judgments about a vice-presidential candidate until the convention.
Humphrey, in Washington said McGovern probably would fall short of first-ball victory. Humphrey, who was the 1968 nominee, rated his own chances of winning the nomination at one in four. McGovern's at three out of four.
Celler said Wednesday he would demand a recount of the returns that showed him the loser by 562 votes. He said he hadn't decided to whether to run in November as the Liberal party candidate should he lose the recount.

Daley Speech Brings Mayors' Viet Support
Some 350 mayors and city representatives at the U.S. Conference of Mayors annual meeting also voted without debate, allowing a majority of school busing to achieve racial integration.
NEW ORLEANS (AP)—A conference of the nation's mayors overwhelmingly reversed its stand Wednesday and endorsed President Nixon's policy on Vietnam after a passionate appeal by the Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago.
And, for the first time in its history, the conference adopted a stand on gun control legislation, urging Congress to pass tough laws to dry up the hand gun market.
The mayors cheered, stomped their feet and shouted as Daley climaxed the Vietnam debate by saying, "In the name of God we have been born to hope and pray he can end it tomorrow."
Red-faced and shouting at the top of his voice, Daley had said, "No one will do more to work against a Republican candidate than think when a man is president—we have him, as we've seen in this country, in the despicable condition of taking him in the back door of hotels, afraid to come out in front of you," he said on because of this situation in Vietnam.
It was a rare and dramatic appearance by Daly on the floor of the conference. He was not present last year when the mayors voted for the first time in their history to
call for U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam by a specific date—Dec. 31, 1971.
A group of liberal big city mayors tried to update that resolution by changing the date to Oct. 1, 1972, and adding a provision allowing the U.S. to be part of U.S. prisoners of war by that date.
Instead, the mayors adopted by a vote so large that the chair did not count it a resolution that "All United States air, land and sea forces are in South Vietnam by a date certain and not later than four months after the conclusion of an internationally supervised cease-fire throughout Indochina, the release of all prisoners, accounting for all those missing in action."

Flood Supply Flights Are Slowed
Chancelor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. authorized the use of the University's airplane for cargo flights for the American Indian Movement (AIM) last Sunday.
Transportation of supplies from Lawrence to Indian victims of the Rapid City, S. D., flood is slowing down and is almost at a standstill.
Norman Heecker, the pilot, had the seats removed from the airplane in order to load a plane into a hangar.
Director Adds KU to List of Credits

Sometimes called the Johnny Appleseed of the American theatre, Stuart Vaughan has left vital theatres in his wake from New Orleans to Seattle to New York City, where he was the first director of the now-famous Newark Shakespeare Festival in Central Park.
Vaughan, guest director at the University of Kansas Shakespeare Festival this summer, is currently applying finished touches to "Twelfth Night," to open this Saturday with Vaughan's wife actress Amy Thompson, in the lead.
Described by Vaughan as "robust and virile and colorful." Shakespearean plays have been Vaughan's fundamental resource as a director.
VAUGHAN, who grew up in Indiana,
loves history and made his first discovery
of Shakespeare through the historic plays.
He's a big fan of the three plays Vaughan's own two plays, "Assassination 1865," about the murder of President Lincoln, and "Ghost Dance" which deals with the story of a slave.
Of Shakespeare's plays, Stuart Vaughan has acted in an directed "Taming of the Shrew" most often. But "King Lear" is his favorite.
American Indians fascinate Vaughan, who chanted a Zuni corn-ground song at onsite in 2014, and he hoped at some time in the future to play a write base on an Indian-creation camp.
It is a real switch from Shakespeare—as it is Vaughan's next project, directing June Havoc in Neil Simon's play "The Gingerbread Man."
BUT THE inestable imagination of Shakespeare engages most of Vaughan's energy. Vaughan thought that Shakespeare's closest relative among modern composers was Rhecht, who inserted songs into his plays. Much of modern art leaves Vaughan cold.
"There's no correct way to do Shakespeare," Vaughan said.
Still, Vaughan admires contemporary and innovative productions of Shakespearean plays, like those of Peter Brook.
"It is so difficult now," Vaughan said, "to extract art from fashion."
But in directing "Twelfth Night." Vaughan is not relying on modern tools.
HE SAID that Shakespeare was big
interpreter to surmount any particular
interpretation challenge.
"Why polish off all the patina of age?" Vickiann said, "Because that's marvelous."
VAUGHAN hates machines
"I've forgotten to drive," he said.
Theatre, Vaughan believed, reminds
people of the world apart from technology, the world "of human-sized thins."
Shakespeare, Vaughan said, doesn't require any scenery and barely requires electric lighting. Shakespeare depends on people "people reflecting people to people,"
Actors, Vaughan said, are people who can use their emotional problems, who can transfer their participate grief or rage, and who can experience the power of personal energy a new character.
only feel alive when they're connected with the imaginative context that is the play, the moment-to-moment responsibility."
OF ACTORS, Vaughan said in his directing class on Tuesday, "Maybe they would like to be a comedian."
In the theatre actors and directors find a family, Vaughan said. He described the theatre as "the communal existence that beats any of them."
For producing, a play generates an extraordinary camaraderie. When a play is finished, Vaughan said, "we're really all done something very dangerous together. We're blood brothers in a very special way."

however, because of engine trouble on the return vehicle, may be to several weeks the airplane.
Gary Crawford, a Haskell student who is helping AIM, said that supplies were backing up. No supplies have left Lawrence since last Sunday.
A spokesman for the Erhart Flying Service, which has made three cargo flights to the area for AIM, said the service could respond to neglect its own business at this time.
Bob Wilson, general manager of the flying service, said Wednesday that he and two other pilots had donated their time to help estimate that each had bud cost $300.
Chris Wilkinson, Coffeille sophomore,
and Doug Rogers made flights last Friday
and Saturday, each carrying 1,000-pound
loads.
Wilson said that he had asked the Air Force and the Air National Guard to carry out a mission.
On Saturday, Rogers was caught in a storm and was forced to spend the night in Rochester.
Wilson made the first flight last Thursday, taking 1,000 pounds of supplies to the area. Aerial photos of the city were also taken from his airplane.
"It was worse than we were led to believe," Rogers said.
The storm that grounded Rogers caused some minor flooding in the area.
AIM is trying to find people who will transport goods to Rapid City by truck. Items still needed are clothing, paper cups and disposable diapers.
Council Fails to End Debate over Research
Rv STEVE HIX
Kansan Staff Writer
A motion to disband the Haiphong Coalition's demand for a committee to study research on campus still lingers on the issue of a floor after much debate Wednesday.
The 37 members present voiced their views about the SenEx proposal during the two-hour meeting. Representatives of the Haiphong Coalition were not allowed to speak, but were allowed to observe the meeting.
A motion was put to discussion asking that Senixx not appoint a committee as chair of the board.
IT WAS noted that only Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers J. had right to form the committee to study research on human development, and make recommendations to the Chancellor.
The councilman putting forth the motion argued that such a committee would be unprecedented across the nation, and should not take place on campus, and put forth the question of whether the funds from the Department of Defense were objectionable to the University. He said there was no objection, and our research was for the good of society.
A COUNCIL member said that students would abuse the information they received. He said that they would use the information to harass the administration.
The use of the results is an impossible feat, remarked another council member. Actual findings can not be absolutely correct.
One council member pointed out that attempts were made at Massachusetts School of technology and Columbia to retort research, but in both cases they failed.
One member of the council said that the
study of researchers would have some unfavorable affects. The individual scholar might be driven away from this University if committee members get nosy, and it would lower faculty morale. If the solution was to have no committee at all.
It was pointed out to council members that there was already a committee investigating research, the faculty research committee.
Speaking for the establishment of the ad hoc committee to study the research on campus were several student representatives on the council. One member said that the information asked for by the Haiqhong College faculty committee had not provided the study on research that students are demanding.
A STUDENT representative said that it was time for the Council to look at what SenEx was saying rather than attacking the Hailong Coalition. He said that research was public information, and that if researchers were doing research for a private interest only, then this public interest should not support his investigation.
A faculty member criticized Chancellor Chalmers and SenEx for reacting under pressure. He said that the rights of the scholar would be infringed upon and that the committee should be rejected on the basis that students would abuse the information.
ONE councilmember said that research should not have to be revealed. It might be research that is considered dumb to the public and could hurt the researcher's character. Any commissioner "must check the progress reports of researchers," he said, but should consist of only faculty members.
