The Lawrence City Commission at its Tuesday meeting bowed to complaints of staff emanating from the Ted Owens' basketball camp's use of the Naistham bass.
The Commission voted to strike Ordnance 4322, relating to permitted recreational uses on residency only zoned land. The Commission recommended that the ball-court can to use the Naismith courts.
Owens told commissioners that he understood they were charged with the responsibility of making decisions for all citizens, that the basketball camp had no contact with any staff or other of others and that he thought the residents had "very legitimate complaints."
"But," he continued, "the camp is a great benefit to the community and there is also a responsibility to assist people who are benefiting the community, though this shouldn't be done in such a way as to intrigue on others' rights."
OWENS SAID LATER that the City Commission's decision denying use of the basketball courts at Naismith Hall to his children, nor not present insurmountable problems.
"We can handle it for the balance of this year's camp because there aren't as many boys in the remaining sessions," Owens said.
"Provisions will have to be made for next year's camp," he added, "but I'm sure we can work out some arrangements and make the best of the situation."
OWENS POINTED OUT that the camp was in its fifth year and had entertained thousands of campers from 27 states and three foreign countries.
Commissioner Charles Fisher said his opposition was not based on a lack of appreciation of the basketball camp but appreciation of the coaches had a right to take care of a nuisance.
Commissioner Jack Rose said the
School Fees Become Due
A $10 penalty fee will be charged to students who pay fees between June 14 and 20. Students pay between June 21 to June 25 will be penalized $25 for late payment.
Students may pay by check or cash at the cashier's window of the Compromtler's Office in the basement of Carrouhol hall, William Kelly, registrar, said.
Enrollment fees are due today in the Comproller's Office to avoid a penalty fee.
Agnes Barnhill, assistant registrar, said that if a student dropped or withdrew from a course on or before June 23, part of the course must be made in advance a request at the registrar's office.
Payment of fees will not be permitted after July 5. Kelly said.
Partial refunds are available because summer school fees are based on hours enrolled in instead of a set amount for the semester, Barnhill said.
The credit-no credit option for taking classes ends Friday, she said.

comings of the ordinance had a legitimate point and said that the ordinance should be killed
THE COMMISSION put off ruling on a request by C and C Ambulance Company of Topeka for a license to perform ambulance services within the City, taking the request under advisement for one week.
Cand Chad filed the required forms, but City Attorney Milton P. Allen ruled the ordinance did not automatically grant a license upon receipt of these forms, but must take into consideration "the required public necessity and convenience."
Rose said it was his belief that Lawrence's Citizens Ambulance Service was adequate and that added service was not necessary.
Citizens Ambulance Service presently offers ambulance services from the city and county yearly subsidy from the city and county.

Commissioner J. R. Pullman said that he didn't mind the subsidy "if one life a year
The C and C spokesman explained that its company was expanding and had a few new staff members, so said that C and C's hospital training was superior to the standard short term training and assured the Commission that the ambulances would be staffed with fully trained personnel.
MAYOR JOHN EMICK said he didn't know how two ambulance services could make money, and added, "The City cer-mium won't want to be in the ambulance business."
In other business the Commission granted a bid to Coffman and Son, 417 Maple, for the demolition of structures on land purchased in Wisconsin at 12th and 407 Illinois for $1,680, and awarded three contracts for street and sidewalk improvements and sidewalk construction to Mayson, Ransom and Sheets for the demolition of buildings granted New Haven Tavern, 618 W. 12th.
Consideration of Ordinance 4317, the human relations ordinance, will be delayed until June 27 at the request of the Human Relations Commission.
Nixon Submits Pact; Vows U.S. Security
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Nixon submitted his nuclear-arms pacts with the Soviet Union to Congress Tuesday and assured members that they safeguard American security. Then he scheduled an emergency meeting of his program, with congressional leaders.
He asked about 129 members of five key committees of the Senate and House to join in an "in-depth discussion" Thursday morning on the treaty and agreement which he signed with the Soviet leaders in May 26 during the summit conference.
House Press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said the President would open the session and that his top security adviser, Henry A. Kissinger, would brief the legislators and answer questions on the treaty and agreement that require ratification and approval. The President will not be questioned, Ziegler said.
Ziegler said the aim of the 10 a.m. CDT session in the East Room was to give members of the important committees the President's thinking on why ratification and approval "will serve the country's interest and the cause of peace."
ON PREVIOUS occasions, the White House has balked at permitting Kissinger to testify before congressional committees but this move, in effect will permit Kissinger to go before the committee members on White House grounds.
Kissinger will be the lone administration spokesman at the session but Secretary of State William P. Rogers and Gerard Killen are key speakers on testimony on Capitol Hill, Zieger said.
The press spokesman added that formal testimony would begin next Monday on the treaty with Rogers appearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Since the broad outlines of the understandings reached at the Strategic Arms Limitations Talks-SALT had been made known in detail before, attention to the President's message to Congress centered on points of real or potential disagreement remaining between the nuclear powers.
FOR THE FIRST time, Nixon set down for Congress a listing of major points on which the United States and the Soviet Union have expressed their own interpretations of what the accords really mean.
Calling the papers he brought back from Moscow 'an important first step in his career', Mr. Matsui said.
"The defense capabilities of the United States are second to none in the world today. I am determined that they shall remain so. The terms of the ABM, treaty
Agents Tell of Tavern Drug Buys In Testimony at Gaslight Hearing
Two former undercover agents for Kansas Atty. Gen. Vern Miller testified Tuesday that they made numerous drug trafficking operations Tavern from June to September, 1971.
The agents, Vikki Shunmenne, 19 Kansas City, Kan., and Marion Lynn Jr., 20, a former KU student, told of drug investigations during a Douglas County District Court hearing initiated by the filing of a petition by Miller and Douglas County officials in seizing a permanent injunction to close the Gadlight as a common nuisance.
In the opening statement for the defense, George Melvin, attorney for the Gaslight's manager and its lessee, Harold Stagg and Reginald Scarborough, said evidence would show that no illegal activities were tolerated in the Gaslight by his clients and that until the petition was filed requesting an injunction against enforcement agent made any complaints to Stagg or Scarborough regarding illegal drug traffic at the tavern.
In his opening statement, Elwell said the state would show that during the summer months of 1971, 16 illegal drug purchases were made by state agents in the Gaslight or on its premises and contacts were made to explain why they led to other illegal narcotics purchases.
Riling said in his opening statement that his client had no knowledge of drug addiction and he petitioned for an injunction to close the tavern was an attempt to end the property's non-conforming use classification and it became uc to be zoned as for residential use.
The state's first witness, Shinmenne,
said that she made one drug purchase in
the Gaslight and made contacts there for
two other purchases. She also testified that
She also testified that she did not inform Stagg or Scarborough about the drug traffic in the Gaslight and that she was under instruction from Miller not to give any information concerning drug activity to local law enforcement agents.
Under cross examination by Riling, Shinnemen testified that in the drug purchase she had been involved in at the Gaslight, the transfer of drugs to her had been made under a table in the tavern "to keep from being detected."
on one occasion she had smoked a pipe of marijuana with three other persons in attendance.
Lynn testified that he made 16 illegal purchases or contacts for purchases of drugs in his Gaslight or its immediate vicinity. He said the caskassion asked Stagg about the availability of drugs. Lynn said Stagg "mumbled incoherently" in reply and asked as if he did
Chief witness for the state was Lynn who said he developed most of the evidence in the summer of 1971 for a major drug raid in Lawrence staged Sept. 24, 1971.
During the hearing, the defense called three witnesses, City Atty. Muhlen Allen, Dan Young, former Douglas County Atty, and Dean Burkhead, a law partner of the attorney for the Rock Chalk Cafe with John McCarthy under 17 under injunction by Miller.
Lynn then said he did not approach again, fearing Stagg would tell drug use officers.
Allen testified that his office had never been contacted by law enforcement officials regarding drug activities at the facility. He also provided provisions for prosecuting drug offences.
Young testified that as county attorney, he had been contacted by the attorney for
the rock Chalk Cafe, Dean Burkhead, and was told that the owner of the cafe wanted to cooperate with officials in halting alleged drug violations there. Young also said that he had been the owner of the Gaslight was concerned about any possible legal action against the Gaslight and expressed a desire to help law enforcement officials who might investigate the avenir for illegal drug investigation the avenir he relayed this information to Miller.
On the witness stand, Burkhead testified that he met with Miller in March, 1971, to discuss Miller's plans to act to close the Rock Chalk. Burkhead said that during the conversation, he asked Miller if there were charges against him, as Alight and Miller replied they were none.
Miller was later called to testify and under examination from Melvin said he recalled the meeting with Burkhead but no one else told that Burkhead represented the Gaslight.
Under examinations by Riling, Miller repeatedly denied that he knew that Burkhead represented the Gaslight, but he did not mention it so informed and not remembered. Miller added that even if he had been investigating the Gaslight for drug trafficking, he would not told Burkhead that his cooperation in stopping the drug activities.
Another state witness, Michael Frame, refused under oath to repeat a statement he made in February 1971. County Sheriff's deputy, Frame said he had been arrested in a drug raid in February, 1971, and was contacted by the police. He also considered a sentence of correction.

The treaty, requiring a two-thirds majority, in the Senate for ratification, requires agreement to cushion offensive policies expiring in five years, is up for approval by both houses through joint resolution which will require simple majorities for passage.
EFFECTIVENESS of the agreement is contingent upon ratification of the treaty. Mr. Mossman, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said hearings on the documents would begin perhaps as early as Thursday but no later than next Mon-
Some skepetics have said the Moscow settlements might place the United States at a military disadvantage. Nixon said, in reference to his remarks to limit strategic offensive arms was not

In the paper Nixon submitted, the Soviet Union and the United States were shown to be far apart on the question of modern submarines belonging to third countries—that could be used in allies in Western Europe—that could be used to launch strategic missiles.
EITHER COUNTRY can repudiate the ABM treaty on six months' notice.
The Soviet government was quoted as taking the view that should members of its armed forces be required to increase their up-to-date sub fleet within the five-year lifetime of the executive agreement, "the Soviet Union will have the right to a corresponding increase" in member force.
The United States replied that it "does not accept the validity of the conventions" and demanded an apology.
Coalition Says Aims On Research Ignored
Kansan Staff Writer
By JOLENE HARWOOD
The Haiphong Coalition's suggestions about research being conducted on the University of Kansas campus have been largely ignored by SenEx, according to Larry Sullivan, acting chairman of the Coalition's Tuesday night meeting.
The sub-group was formed because all the members of the Coalition who were interested in investigating research of KU students participated in the ruler project by Seiku, Sullivan said.
The suggestions embodied in a document presented to SenEx after last week's meeting included policies and committee members.
A sub-group of approximately 30 members of the Coalition is now looking into research projects which some may be of interest to medical or in support of the war, Sullivan said.
The committee that SenEx has recommended to Chancellor E. Laurence Chatters Jr. for approval is composed of five faculty members, three students and
"it's purpose will be to investigate all University research to see if it is in the public interest and then to publish these results." Sullivan said.
"We feel that the Haiphong Coalition is not in a good position," he said, "since SenXen has chosen who it wants on the committee and how it will be structured."
up at least 50 per cent of the committee. Sullivan said this proposal was rejected because SenEx believed students were too transient.
The committee was suggested to SenEx because members of the Coalition thought there was a definite need for the com-mission, but the research being done on campus.
Although the Coalition is primarily concerned with research which will effect the war in Indochina, it is also concerned with research affecting minorities.
Sullivan said, "There is a lot of research being done here that definitely has political consequences. It includes research that has social implications even though being done under the guise of neutrality."
"Many researchers do not realize how their work is being used. We feel that they must be made aware of this and to feel a sense of concern for the consequences," Sullivan said.
In explaining to the sub-group Coalition members how to go about their individual investigations, Sullivan said, "Since there is a lack of access to all records concerning research,"
There is hope among Coalition members that the sub-group will be able to work with them effectively.
"If we don't have anyone on the committee which they appoint, however, I don't see how we can possibly work with them," Sullivan said.
Planes Bomb Bridges Near Chinese Border
SAIGON (AP)—American flyers brought down two North Vietnamese railroad bridges close to the Chinese frontier with laser-guided bombs, U.S. military weapons and helicopters blasted eight other bridges and two fuel deposits elsewhere in the North.
Enemy gunners launched 10 rockets into the U.S. air base at Da Nang just before midnight Tuesday and two more rockets fell into populated areas of the city. The Marines and Sagehill were killed and Vietnamese soldiers were killed and 15 Vietnamese and six Americans wounded.
No aircraft hit and there was only light damage to four buildings spokesmen speak
THE DA NAN BASE IS the only one in South Vietnam from which fighter-bomber strikes are flown against the North. Defense Department sources have said the remaining U.S. forces there were being reassigned to Thailand.
The attacks on the pair of bridges on Hanoi's northeast rail line to China marked the second day of strikes within 25 miles of the Chinese border. The bridges 55 and 60 miles northeast of the North Vietnamese capital were knocked out just a week before the attack that raids constituted "grave provocations" against China.
Air Force F4 Phantoms hit the
bomb ground guided by laser beams.

Monday and damaged or destroyed two fuel deposits within three miles of the port city of Vinh, the U.S. Command announced.
U. S. B52 bombers pounded enemy supply dumps near the North Vietnamese port of Dong Hoi Tuesday for the sixth straight day. The raids 21 to 60 miles ahead aimed at destroying war supplies destined for use by enemy troops in the South.
Hanol's official Vietnam News Agency claimed the North Vietnamese Air Force shot down two U.S. F4 bomber-bombs over the North on Tuesday and captured several American pilots. The U.S. Command did not report any losses.
GROUND ACTION was relatively light in South Vietnam and little progress toward breaking the 80-day siege, until he fleeing the provincial capital 60 miles north of Saigon came under enemy fire and a government relief force remained stalled outside the city.
North Vietnamese troops along Highway 13 fired on a column of, 1,000 civilians moving south, killing 5 to 10 refugees and wounding 30 to 40.
Allied officers predicted the rubber plantation town, which once had a population of 25,000 to 30,000, may be under firm government control by the weekend. But they added Highway 13, the only overland route to An Loc, must be opened and secured before the siege can be considered over.
