On Kay's Candidacy An old political joke says that it is hard to tell the difference between a Democrat and a Republican in Kansas. The entry of Lawrence legislator, Morris Kay, into the field of candidates seeking the Republican nomination for Governor has put a new twist on the old joke. This year Kansans will need a tally card to keep track of the Democrats on the national level and the Republicans on the state level. Although Kay joined the other three Republican candidates a day before the filing deadline, he has been looking at the gubernatorial campaign for some time. His name was tossed about during the recent legislative session, but Kay refused to make any declaration of intent. As majority leader in the Kansas House, Kay gained prestige among his Republican colleagues. Yet the delay in throwing his hat into the ring suggests that many state party leaders have been slow in encouraging his candidacy for Governor. Another obstacle, money, has been added to the delay of Kay's announcement. With the abundance of Republican hopefuls, it would seem that Kay's chances for winning the nomination for Governor are exceedingly slim at this late date. Certainly when one has to compete with another hometown boy, in which case she will shultz as Kay is for financial backing, those chances seem even slimmer. Given the obstacles, only a few of which are mentioned above, that face Morris Kay as he announces his candidacy for Governor, one might think it reasonable to suggest he schedule his withdrawal announcement Tuesday morning. By withdrawing before the filing deadline, he could save $200. The money would go a lot further and represent a better investment if it were spent on a state legislative campaign. Besides, a Docking-Anderson race has a desirably nostalgic走. Mark Bedner Killings Down Under It is difficult out on these plains where the deer and the antelope once played, and the buffalo roamed by the thousands, and bucked up about the fate of the kangaroo. Yet, in view of what happened to our buffalo, the kangaroo is worth a passing thought. Life will go on without life; the bear is gone on without great herds of buffalo. That's stupid. Australia apparently thinks more of getting the cash for the kangaroo than in preserving the animal for other generations. But such a loss is for a silly purpose. The kangaroo is being slaughtered, partly by "sportsmen," but mostly by hired shooters to provide U.S. buyers with skins for upholstery, shoes, wallets, coats, rugs. The solution is for the U.S. to declare the kangaroo an "endangered species," which it is. That would ban it from our import lists, and lead the way toward preservation. It is difficult to think of a new national park in kangaroo, but once it was undreamed that our rapacity would be so huge as to destroy the buffalo. —Reprinted from the Hutchinson News 20 Per Cent KU Reduction Unrealistic, Nichols Says BY BOB LITCHFIELD Kansas Staff Writer Nichols said the reduction would be impossible for three reasons. The 20 per cent reduction in the cost of higher education recently recommended by the Carnegie Commission report is unrealistic. Raymond Nichols, secretary, said Monday A reduction of 20 per cent in the working budget at KU would mean trimming millions, a million, of salary paid would be impossible to reach. "Second, statistics of the U.S. Office of Education show that college enrollment has not yet reached its peak, and finally, I doubt that the public will accept communications." Nichols added. "First, with inflation conditions, we have to slowdown a 20 per cent reduction would actually be very much greater than 20 per cent, he said. Nichols said that if all research were halted, extension programs slashed and maintenance programs would be reduced, would amount to only $4 million, leaving the other $4 million to come directly from teaching and research. "It would be ridiculous to cut research programs because they are supported mostly by grants," she said. "You're gone to cut $8 million." "The Kansas public is determined to have the best schools that they can afford. They are educated, educational system in the state." Nichols said, short of total economic collapse, he did not believe the University would Nichols said he believed the Carnegie Commission's recommendations were the result of interest to the country's tax problems. "People are the key," he said, and "I don't believe they would stand for a huge cutback in higher education. Army Orders Release Of My Lai Information OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—The Oklahoma City first responders, previously withdrew records of units involved in the MLI airlift in Vietnam, it was learned. This reversal of the Army's previous position came in response to an appeal by the Daily Okayman newspaper and was hailed by two major freedom organizations as a breakthrough in public's free access to information from the government. The Army's change of position which may have a wide-ranging effect on future classification and censorship by the Army, was conveyed in a letter from the Army's general counsel. It ordered releases to the Daily Oklahoma morning newspapers three infrared panels and an aviation company involved in the 1988 M&M Lai Inc. That censorship, involving 401 separate items ranging from killed in action to AWOLs, was never made public. The secretary of the Army on May 12. have to meet this problem The appeal was based on the Freedom of information Act and the Army's own regulations. The Commission also, recommended accreditation and educational standards and reducing the number of years of student training. Nichols said acceleration could only come in schools or by year-round classes. "If the teaching of English, languages and mathematics is difficult for them in schools, and if colleges have to continue with them, the only way programs can be accelerated is through sound study," Nichols asserted. Summer Studies First Held in 1903 Historical Feature- Editor's Note: While cleaning out his office in Strong Hall, George Baxter Smith, former vice chairman and director of institutional research, found a copy of a brochure advertising KU's first summer session. It has been placed in the University Archives. By RALPH NICOL Kansan Staff Writer In Kansas it began in 1903. The University of Kansas, after developing for 37 years, announced a projections for Summer 2015 as the location of the leading Logging Facility. Have you ever wondered, while pouring over your last 150-page assignment, trudging up and down the hill in 90-degree heat, waiting for a two-hour class to end so you can get to a swimming pool, and generally deciding that summer school is certainly a terrible mistake, how the idea of going to college in the middle of the summer got started? To go to summer school in its first year meant an outlay of a $10 incidental fee, and upwards of $3.50 per week for room and board. However, the advantages of summer school supposedly outweighed the freeze location; small classes; concentration upon one subject." KU offered two general types of courses for the summer in 1903. Popular courses were open to all enrolled students, but gave no credit. Credit courses were open only to "regularly matriculated students." Students were only allowed to take one course for credit In its first year, the KU summer session lasted six weeks, from June 11 to July 22. There were 28 instructors present for the summer, eighteen of which were heads of departments. They taught 75 courses in 24 different subject areas. The Guide recommended the summer session to "college instructors, city and county superintendents, high school principals and teachers, high school pupils wishing to complete their entrance requirements, college students wishing to do extra work, graduate students; all who wish further educational advantages and can profit by the courses offered." The most interesting features of the 1903 summer session were the special popular lectures by members of the KU faculty. Among the lecturers were Chancellor Frong Strong, Prof. W. H. Carruth, Prof. R. D. O'Leary, Prof. J. Naismith, and Prof. F. O. Marvin. A sample of the topics of the lectures was equally fascinating: "The Development of Free Schools as a System," "Physical condition of the Typical Student," "Roads-Good and Bad," "Families," "or something from current events like" the Trust Problem. This summer marks the 70th anniversary of KU's summer school sessions. At Lawrence alone, more than six thousand students are taking several hundred courses in more than 80 subject areas. While the "cool, breezy locations" may be more the result of air conditioners than nature, the main advantages of summer school remain. Few Remain Neutral in Ulster By RODNEY PINDER Within the untouched areas and AMERICAN PRESS BELFAST (AP) - Few people walk the middle ground in Northern Ireland. Three years of violence in a community of 1½ million people have left their mark. Bomb blasts driven many into rigid stands. Some have seen relatives killed or crippled, a favorite shop go up in flames. All confront daily the soldiers patrolling their streets. BUT SURELY the visitor may ask you to be silent, not everyone is committed; there must be a 'silent majority' or minority, with the single highest number. The sight of quiet residential neighborhoods untouched by violence, contrasting sharply with the scanty housing and buildings of much of Belfast, makes one think that here must be people who have avoided the violence. villages, often mixed communities, there are in fact people who say they are moderates, opposed to violence. Yet most have strong ties. Lindsay Smith is a Protestant who lives in a comfortable suburb of Belfast a few hundred yards from Newtonards Rd, scene of street is unscathed, and Catholic friends live across the way. HE HAS lived in Belfast all his 49 years Smith is concerned that the force Northern Ireland, where Protestants outnumber Catholics, into union with the Irish Refresher program. Smith considers himself part of the antiresternist senior majority, but his outlook clearly reflects the Protestant view. The Smyths are determined, he says, to see the Northern Ireland remains British. THAT, HE said, would mean a surrender to blackmail by gun and bomb and an invitation to more trouble. He is angered that the Catholics mean that soldiers will not invade IRA strongholds like the Germans. He said: "You can't expect the majority community to abide within the law while part of the community is a pertinent demand that those who have committed crimes will have an amnesty. This means that citizens have been brutally murdered and those responsible go free. "UNTIL, THE British government is prepared to put down this armed rebellion in its own hands," he said. There is much talk of what the minority wants to do, to switch violence on or off. You forget the majority. We are not prepared to sit down and talk with gangsters Smith said he believed any discussion of concessions that one side or another could make to achieve a united Ireland was irrelevant: "You cannot take away from a man his birthright. I believe in the British way of life and you can't cast that aside. The English are much easier to come to Ireland would be to bring the whole island under British rule." SHE IS encouraged by Catholic revolution at the methods of the IRA gunmen and by London's taking over of direct rule of Ireland inland droms to the Protestant-dominated provincial government. "I was born here," she said. For the first time, she met a man who directive rule I always underdo. But there is a hard core of stupid bigots on both sides keeping the other side in mind that can destroy everything." Holland, 35, is the only Catholic on her street, but "there never has been any trouble." She visits her mother in a more militantly Protestant area "and we just keep quiet and don't bother anybody- SHE IS saddened by the wounds three years' violence has left on children. "I think all kids are not alone," she says, "is worst are a lost generation." The Rev. Patrick Mille runs St. Patrick's Church in a relatively unscarred area of London and is surrounded by shioners who were trickling up to his door to sign a peace petition partly organized by the church. Father Muliev said 2,500 of the eligible in his parish had signed. "The Church stands in the middle," he says gently, "The Church does not believe in bombing or shooting. Kansan Staff Writer By JOLENE HARWOOD Korean Staff Writer Group Studies Campus Safety The University of Kansas safety committee has submitted its recommendations to Chancellor Dr. Murray Koch after a thorough survey of safety problems on campus and related programs at the university, and programs of other universities. The five-man committee was appointed by the chancellor and has been meeting regularly since March. The administration saw the need for a safety program to reduce occupational Safety and Health Act, according to Elmo L. G Lindquist, committee chairman and director of mechanical engineering. "The committee does not have the authority to correct problems," Lindsquist said. "We can only make suggestions." "I THE IRA would like to say it is acting for the people. If the people really have had enough courage, they will face violence, then however tightly the IRA holds on to power, they will be forced to give it up. This may happen if the peace movement maintains its moment." the operations of the building and grounds department, the food service department, housing and traffic on campus. The committee sent out 2,000 surveys covering every department on campus. These surveys collect comments on safety problems. THESE SUGGESTIONS cover More than 200 have been returned, Linglust said, and these are now being categorized under "other needy students." OTHER INVENUES including the University of Minnesota, the University of Illinois and the University of Kentucky, were contacted as to the type of safety programs they had. During this time the committee discussed how these programs could benefit KU, Lindquist said. Several universities have incorporated safety manuals. Students who want to study these manuals and then consult with the sub-instructor are in good grounds, handling hazardous materials and human and animal risks. Chinese Economy Tops UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP)—The first official figures show that China in more than a decade place its economic growth rate among the highest in the world, according to the Economic Survey revealed Monday. The survey indicated China's growth rate was exceeded only by Romania, Brazil and Iran and tied by South Korea. Romania had the highest cent. selected data on its 2018 economy as a whole were The same rate was given for the growth of industry, implying a parallel increase in the output of agriculture. published officially for the first time more than halfway rate of 30 percent for the combined production industry and agriculture," the report reads. per cent in China, against 6.1 per cent in Japan, 6 per cent in the Soviet Union and 2.7 per cent in the United States. The 101-page book on current economic conditions reported that in 1971, production rose 10 The main goal of the committee right now, if given the go ahead, is to build a team that can run for KU using these other manuals as a basis. Lundquist said, “but I have to work on something.” HE ESTIMATED that it would take about three years to establish an acceptable program. The University has never before promoted safety on campus. Lindquist said that he knew of no deaths attributable to accidents on campus but added, "It is just lucky that there have been so few accidents. there are danger areas on campus, and there is always the possibility of a disaster such as a fire or a tornado." "BUT EVEN then it isn't the end of the road. You have the right to walk, but going to turn their boys out into the streets. The Protestants won't see the people trundling truck-ridden streets up to the local police station." THE SAFETY manual would include instructions on what to do and where to go in case of such a disaster. **The organization is a** A united Ireland is the long-term answer for Father Mulvie. term answer for Father MUVINI: "The border must disappear and the Northern Province must be the Dublin Protestants have found, that they will have a very large share of the cake," he said. Before then, he believes, the IRA hold over rank-and-file Catholics in the North must be broken. "Some will tell you," he said, "that their boys are fighting for freedom that means a bomb was a car, not attacking the army base down the road."
