Center to Aid Many
The Kansas Center for Mental Retardation and Human Development is being formally opened and dedicated this morning. Financed by federal, state and private funds, the Center's activities will span nearly every medical and academic discipline in its study of human development.
KU's site is one of three in the state, and the other two, in Parsons and Kansas
The Center has two parts: the Kansas Center for Research in Mental Retardation and the Clinical Training Center. In these two centers, retarded children and their parents will be able to get systematic and specialized help. Professionals will divide their time between research and treatment. Graduate students will be able to receive professional training.
Many people deserve credit for their work in making the Center a reality. W. Clarke Wescoe, who was chancellor when
the project was started, deserves recognition for this part. Richard L. Schiefelbusch, director of the Bureau of Child Research, played a major role in the development of the Center. He worked with Howard V. Bair, who is superintendent and medical director of Parsons State Hospital. Together the two decided research results from the KU Bureau of Child Research should be used to train retarded children at Parsons. Certainly there are others whose efforts were essential, though perhaps not on as large a scale.
The Kansas Center for Mental Retardation and Human Development will have an important leadership role in the state. The purpose of the University is to provide education and service to the state. The Center will do all three and will combine them well.

Industry Series Begins
Today the Kansan will begin a series of articles on industry in Lawrence in an attempt to answer the frequently voiced question that is there in Lawrence besides KU>
readers, many of whom are new to this community.
There is a great diversity in the age, size and type of industry in this city. We have chosen to concentrate on businesses that were founded here rather than those based elsewhere. We hope that in publishing this series, we will inform our
National recognition has frequently come to Lawrence because of the accomplishments of the University of Kansas We must not loose sight of the fact that our city also can boast of immanent nationality. It will be the chosen this series to describe some aspects of this community that are often overlooked.

Dracula Tour Offered
It wasn't too long ago that the grand tour of Europe, whether for a summer or for a whole year, was the dream of students whose parents couldn't afford it and the delight of those who could. And throughout our American literature, from Henry James to "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," a trip to rock off the rough edges from a typical, to culturally impoverished American.
Of course, many people have been to Europe more than once, some as often as every year. And when you keep going to Europe, you need to look for different things to see and do.
A new European tour has been devised to cater to the interests of those who are getting blase about seeing the usual fare Europe has to offer. It's called "Spotlight on Dracula: An Adventure in Transylvania."
Dracula. Two authorities on Dracula will give lectures and explain the sights.
For eighteen days, the travel brochure says, you will have a chance to discover for yourself the answers to the many mysteries that surround the name of
And what sights they are. At Snagov you visit the tomb of Dracula, which doesn't contain his body. You see Dracula's Palace at Tyrgoviste. Castle Dracula, Brasou, where one of Dracula's most famous massacres took place. Sighisoara, where Dracula was born. Moldavia, where Dracula spent two years in exile. And finally Bucharest, which Dracula founded in 1459.
Of course, the tour is making good use of the recent publicity that a man named Vlad Dracula existed in the 15th century. He was able, like other despotes in Europe at the time, to maintain his power at a high cost in human lives.
So, for those of you who are more than culturally satiated, there's yet a new route to go in Europe. And for those of you who don't want the culture—here's your chance "to get to the heart of the Dracula mystique."

Readers Respond
Vending Service Disputed
To the Editor:
After having read the June 13 article on raising the price of college textbooks in vending machines, I feel that some question should be raised as to the "service" being offered to students and campus vending machines. To answer this question in Iowa State University and the University of Illinois and having seen the food service facilities at Iowa State University and the Kansas Union and vending
facilities very poor in comparison. I even find them poor in comparison with other stores in the market, because they are necessary to raise the prices of Hostess fruit pies above the price printed on the wrapper when other merchants (who are also owned by Hostess) do not find it necessary
In the article, Mr. Jolly points out the legality of raising the student to a service in offering a service to the student? Since one-third of the vendors in
this region are satisfied with the profits from 15c canned soft drinks, why shouldn't the campus vendors be satisfied as—as a result of these points out that profits are used to support student activities. However, I would ask, "Isn't it more equitable and performing more of a service to leave that model in the student pocket?"

Idaho Women Seek Sense of Equality
BOISE, Idaho—Idaho's women are tearing down the barriers of sex discrimination.

"They might not put it in terms or women's liberation," one speaker said. "But Idaho's women retain a touch of frontierism, which gives them a deep and sensitive understory of freedom and equal rights."
Many women in the sparsely populated states of India are not familiar with the works of K.K. Millett, Germaine Greer, Betty Friedan, Dana Denesworth, Valerie Wilson.
But because of their inherent instinct of independence and freedom for all, they may be the object of a masters in the quest for queerness.
JUNE HALL, instructor of art at Idaho State University, said she thought women's liberation was more important than some groups were trying to accomplish by collective coercion. She said she maintained the pursuit for individual equality was the most important process" of self-realization.
"I am trying to understand who I can be independently, through independent action. In the end, women are going to gain equality in the job market and collective bargaining," she said.
Many of those advocating women's rights agree that Idaho was not in the mainstream of coastal to coast and women's liberation may be late getting a hold on.
MORE AND more, women in the state are taking action against discriminatory practices in business and state government.

Grimes said she discovered sex discrimination in Boise shortly after the arrived to take directive order from the commission last September.
While filling out a lengthy form to downstream bank, an official commented freely on why a bank would never have a female offender.
"HE DIDN'T know that I was a lawyer," he joined with the commission, "she couldn't imagine him saying something like that, about a lawyer."
Sue Reeens, one of several women on the commission, said Idaho's men were "not so nervous" when it came to sex discrimination.
"I think most of them don't even know it is against the law to discriminate against women," she said.
"It is the way they have been doing it for years," she said. "It will be a hard habit to break. But it has to be changed."
Rose Bowman, one of the first women in Idaho to run for a U.S. senator, traveled through the state she had found few female liberation leaders and understood equality and the changes which had to be made to women's suffrage.
She said women were in many cases thought of as voluntary workers and it caused some party members to decide to run for office, decided to run for office.
BOWMAN, WHO is running for the U.S. Senate, said the local Democratic party system made women of sex discrimination
ROTHWAX SAID he suggested that it was often prudent for the defense lawyer to subpoena all of his clients, including the officer, in the chance that inconsistencies might come in their testimony. He said he was astounded that in the majority of the cases he reported as a person to contradict the arresting
"I have been raised a female, and I know all about sex discrimination," she said. "But a liberator activist, I am not."

A panel discussion on the press
issues in the U.S. in
cases, convened in New York
city recently by the magazine
Dr. Drew Farris and
provided several guidelines for
the defense lawyer. Here are
some of the issues:
Panels们 generally agreed that defense lawyers should seek immediate, pre-trial treatment and may argue that attorney Arthur Mass said, "To act as an attorney and close your eyes to the man's main problem—which is drug addiction and other serious issues—but him is—very limiting."
All panelists said it was important to know exactly what drug programs were available, and to whom they were suited.
Harold Rothwax, judge of the Criminal Court of New York, said, "It really isn't much of comfort whether the defender had a way to envelop the envelope. The important issue is whether or not he needs help."
Judge Rothwaas used the use of a motion to suppress a "a drug lawyer's speciality" and it was most frequently invoked for real estate example, when it was the officer's word against the defendant.
THOMAS MACKELL, a Queens district attorney, suggested that defense lawyers should have an agreement with the prosecution before doing anything else. In all likelihood, he said, the prosecution would consent to a treatment program and would send a trial would thus be avoided.

Mass recommended sealed envelopes submitted as evidence he opened and examined in court
Richard Kuh, former New York county chief assistant District Attorney, said the volume of phone calls upon the prosecutor's office could often benefit the defense attorney if he was willing to put time and effort into covering his defense law counsel could frequently find weak spots "because he is opposing a public employee who has a mass-production business."
be opened and examined ... I "FOUND" that by attending to and looking into the envelopes of marijuana cigarette, which was supposedly lying on the floor of the car, which led to the search that led to the five pounds of marijuana, was nonexistent," he said.
ROTHWAX SAID he was adamantly against the lawyers who handed him an incomplete short-form probation report and then murmured a plea.
Panels said they stressed the importance of specifying from what drugs an ant was an addicted pusher or a non-addicted seller of drugs; whether the addict was 17 or 25; whether they used drugs or whether he used them simply to go along with somebody else who was using it and talked about it.
This approach was called a cop-out by Kuh, who said, "The defense bar completely adabicates when it comes to sentencing by saying 'Your Honor has a full right'." The defense lawyer worth his salt should insist on be present at the pre-sentence interview. He
should know his defendant's social history, and should be in a position to point out the strengths

Helicopters Take Infants To Oregon Med School
Any illness or injury during that month can be fatal if the right treatment is not made available quickly.

PORTLAND, Ore. -Crab death is the most publicized case in infantile detritus agreements agree that the first four weeks of a baby's life are the most critical.
The University of Oregon Medical School has devised a protocol for treating critically ill newborn infants from almost anywhere in the state to its intensive care unit in Oakland, a Army National guard helicopters.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the infant is placed in the incubator, which has all the equipment necessary to treat the infant. The infant is placed in the hospital in Portland. When the helicopter lands in Portland, the
incubator and baby are transferred to the medical school van and transported back to the school's hospital.

Medical school personnel said that in the past commercial airlines have offered care to the infants, and operators normally demanded cash from parishes.
