Campus Traffic Plan To Be Aired Tonight
BUDGETING FOR the proposal, which would cost an estimated $300,000, was tentatively approved last week by Keith Keller; vice-chairman of business affairs
The proposed changes developed because of increasing campus traffic, the need for additional parking facilities and the need for more revenue to maintain and

The controversial proposal to alter the flow of campus traffic and to revamp University parking zones will finally come under public scrutiny tonight. An open debate on the proposal is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union.
Members of the committee which devised the plan will be present to explain the proposal and answer questions. Those scheduled to be on hand are Robert Malinowsky, assistant director of KU libraries and chairman of the Traffic and Lawton, vice-chancellor of facilities, managing operations; Mike Thomas, director of Traffic and Security, and Alton R. Thomas, University architect.
The plan must be put into final shape and approved by Cancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr, in time for presentation to the Kansas Board of Regents at its May meeting. The proposed changes are to take effect next fall.
improve parking facilities, according to Malinowsky.
The lack of parking facilities at Wescoe Hall, the new humanities building currently under construction on Jayhawk Boulevard, also was a factor.
Some aspects of the plan have already sparked considerable controversy. The Student Senate Transportation Committee would eliminate the campus bus system, and some students have criticized the provision of 400 to 500 parking meters on campus.
MALINOWSKY SAID Friday he did not know what to expect at tonight's hearing, but said he hoped the committee could have done more. He had been raised during the last week.
"We hope the hearing will be informational, and at the same time we will welcome comments and suggestions," Malinowsky said.
He said some aspects of the plan were still incomplete and the final draft of the proposal would not be drawn up until the issues and suggestions had been considered.
Malinwski said once the final draft was completed it would be submitted to the Chancellor's office and from them on its request. In response, the Chancellor and the Board of Regents.
DETAILS OF THE proposal are as follows:
Bush Talks of U.N.'s Strengths, Problems
By SCOTT EATON
Kansan Staff Writer
Although the United Nations is beset by serious problems and has proven to be ineffectual in handling many of the problems it was designed to take care of, the world is far better off because of its presence, George Bush, U.S. Ambassador for Afghanistan and Friday night at the annual banquet of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
“It's not as perfect as it could be, it's not nearly as good as the founders of the U.N. that created it in the late forties thought it would be,” Bush said.
Bush, speaking to a capacity dinner crowd of 775 persons in the Kansas Union Ballroom, said even though the U.N. didn't come up to the expectations of the men who designed it, it still was a useful tool in preserving peace in the world.
BUSH said the U.N. had demonstrated it could not solve instantly the political crisis in Iraq.
"When I think of the Middle East I would argue that the U.N. is the best hope for peace in the world, without it I think the Middle East should be more peaceful. The East than they are with it. And with it I think we can eventually move to a parties. Without it I wouldn't be that sure."
"The founders who visualized the concept of instant peace, instant removal of problems through discussion simply saw it as realistic as they might have been."
Bush said another area of trouble in the United Nations was that of finances. He said the United States was trying to lessen the organization of support for the United Nations.
"the president has adopted a policy that we are now working for to move the total number of people in the country from 50
per cent to 25 on the assessed budget." Bush said, "That's not to say we don't support the United Nations, it's to work down so that one nation will not dominate the United Nations financially, in the belief that other nations that believe as strongly as we do should indeed pay some of the support.
"Another great problem I face in every place I go is the frustration Americans feel when they vote for a party exactly the same vote in the United Nations General Assembly as the United States, or Fiji if they have the same vote in the United Nations General Assembly as the Soviet Union.
"Of course it is frustrating, and of course if we were going to redesign the U.N. in 1972, 26 years after its start I thank its fair to say there would be things we could do in terms of a more realistic manifestation of world as it is. There is no question of this."
Bush said the U.N. was a fantastically misunderstood, complicated and frustrating organization. He said the vote by the general assembly to oust the president was its seat in the U.N. was one of the most frustrating events of his term as ambassador.
"Frankly, I think if we could briefly analyze it tonight in terms of our own national self interest, I think we could convince you, that it's worth supporting.
"We have made a miraculous discovery when it comes to the environment, and that is that pollution knows no ideological boundary. Bush said. "It spills over between Eastern
BUSH SAID that even though he was a critic of the U.N., he moved more of it after serving for a time as ambassador to Israel than he did before he took the position.
Europe and Western Europe, or it flows from the Soviet Union on south into the free countries and it moves in various ways, and we need a strong idealistic international effort to do something about what is happening better vehicle than the United Nations.
"WE CAN'T DO IT alone, the United States cannot impose its standards, a developed society imposing its standards in the world. The world's top small now."
Bush said another area where the United Nations would play an important part was the population problem facing the world today. He said the United States again
simply could not impose it's will on other nations. The United States would appear then as an imperialist nation concerned only with maintaining its own power.
He said that for many of the world's underdeveloped nations, the only wealth they had was in their numbers, because these large numbers of people could be used to build factories and take minerals from the ground. He said it would take a few decades for him to convince these nations of the problems their burrowing populations could cause.
FOLLOWING HSIS prepared remarks, bush answered questions from a panel of judges.
University of Kansas School of Law;
Nancy Hambleton, Lawrence city commissioner; Clifford Ketzel, professor of
hydrology at Wayne State University; plant manager for Hallmark Cards
Bush said in the question and answer period that he believed having the Peoples Republic of China as a member of the United Nations would create some new problems for the U.S. but that it was important for the mainland Chinese to have been involved in the U.N. He thought that with the membership of the Peoples Republic in the United Nations, the U.N. more accurately reflected the real world.
Coating Peels from Lunar Module; Apollo 16 Moon Landing Still 'Go'
SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP)—America's Apollo 16探营 streaking toward the moon Sunday were told to board their lunar lander earlier than planned because something was causing the lander coating of the craft to shred away.
Navy Capt. John W. Young, Air Force Lt. Col. Charles M. Duke Jr., and Navy Lt. Cmdr. Thomas M. Mattingly I were at Fort McHenry to visit Cape Kennedy, Fla., at 12:45 p.m. EDT.
The astronauts were in no danger from the problem, but there was concern that a fuel tank in a rocket thruster system may be leaking.
THEY REPORTED after rocketing out
Experts said today they could not explain the phenomenon, but no plans to alter it.
of earth orbit that part of the lunar module's skin was reeling away.
The astronauts are bound for a landing in a rugged mountain plateau of the moon and a search for ancient volcanoes and further evidence that the moon was once a dike. Duke and Young boarded the lunar module, leaving Mattingly behind in the command ship. The moon machine was not scheduled to be activated until Mon-
The problem cropped up after an almost flawless launch.
The astronauts orbited the earth one and one-half times and then fired the third stage rocket to speed out of earth orbit. Duke first reported minutes later that particles were streaming out from part of the lunar module.
HE DEScribed the particles as coming from an area of the moon lander around one of the attitude control rocket thrusters on the side of the craft.
Duke said the surface looked like shredded wheat. "It then, Apony, it was shredded wheat," he said.
But Sunday night, the outer coating of the lunar lander, named Orion, began flaking. The result is that it contains not of it was being lost could not immediately be determined. The skin is multi-layered, with 25 or more layers of aluminaized and coated film and the film is only 00013 inches thick.
There was no indication that the problem would affect the moon landing plans and the astronauts themselves were not considered to be in any danger.
Jayaawk Boulevard would become one-way east from Chi Omega fountain to Danforth Chapel, then two-way north into Oread Avenue. Memorial Drive would become one-way west from Mississippi St. and would be the third-way stop sighs would be installed.
Fourth Street would remain two way and Baumgartner Drive would remain one-way from Jayhawk Boulevard to Mississippi Street. The traffic control stations on 14th Street and at 13th Street Jayhawk Boulevard would be eliminated, with access to the Museum of Art, Museum of Natural History and the Kansas Union
Sunflower Drive between Mississippi and Indiana streets would remain two-
Angle parking would be permitted along one side of the one-way portion of Jayhawk Boulevard, and a two-way bicycle lane would be created on the other side.
O-ZONE, south of Robinson Hall, would be a 25-cent toll gate. The price of admittance to X-Zone east of the Union would be increased from 10 to 25 cents. Those purchasing permits for those zones would be cards with which to operate the gates.
Parking meters would be installed on side-street parking in the Union and Museum area, in the now gate-controlled lot east of the Union, in I Zone on Mississippi Street, and in the east section of N Zone west of Murphy Hall.
Meters would also be installed in the loading zone along the drive at the east end of Haworth Hall and in the east half of M Zone along Sunsyide Avenue. These will be short-time meters to accommodate brief visits to buildings in the area.
Meet existing loading zones in lots behind buildings would have short-time delays.
Parking zones along Memorial Drive would be enlarged by about 50 spaces and would continue to be reserved for permit parking only. No parking meters are proposed for Memorial Drive or for the one-way portion of Javahawk Roadway.
PARKING METERS are also being considered for the circle in front of Watkins Hospital, in front of Miller and Wattins Hall, and in Poplar Lane behind them.
The meters would be installed free of charge. Income from them would be split equally with the vendor until the meters were paid for, probably in three years.
The campus parking zone system would be revised. Each lot would be assigned to one of four color categories—blue, red, yellow and green. A vehicle with a color permit could be parked in any lot corresponding to that color.
Blue Zone would include most parking in the controlled-access section of the campus--along Jayhawk Boulevard, behind Watkins and D, H, L, R, T and A zones. A Blue Zone permit would cost $30 if you bring your $20 in the spring and $10 in the summer.
RED ZONE would include B, B-1, C, E-1,

Senate Hearings for Budget Requests to Start Tonight
Beginning tonight the Finance and Auditing Committee of the Student Senate will hold open hearings for all groups that have submitted applications from the 1972-73 student activity fee.
That fee is expected to total about $408,850. The total will include fees to be paid by the student who will enroll at KU next fall, next spring or summer session. The fee for each student is $12 a semester for full time students, $20 a semester for enrolled in six or less hours and $3.50 for summer classes.
Although the Senate and Finance and Auditing Committee must decide how to distribute the entire fee, their job was to vote on the bill, a message of a Senate enactment last December.
As examples of the apportionment process, the Student Senate's operating budget will receive $1.50 from each student or an estimated $66,725. The University Daily Kansan will get $1.35 per student or an estimated $43,990.
"THAT ENACTMENT created eight bases for apportionment" of the activity field. Each base's area will receive a stated portion of the data by each full-time or equivalent student.
The number of "full time equivalent students" equals the total revenue divided by 12, so that money paid by part-time and summer students is included.
Although some requests were not received when Bill O'Neill, student body treasurer, prepared a preliminary budget document, the student organization amounts amounted to $192,124.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM facing the Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee involves the $1.55 apportionment of the costs that will total an estimated $50,506.
estimating expenses a year in advance. Money allocated to a group and not used is placed in the Senate's contingency fund, as evidenced by the $73,583.16 from organization accounts that was placed in the contingency fund last year.
ANOTHER REASON why the request figure is not considered so high is that organizations were allocated more than $108,000 last year. The total request is almost double the amount received last year.
That amount is not unusually high since most groups request much more money than they need.
The amount set aside for student organizations is less this year because of increases in other areas. School councils, which did not exist last year, are one of the groups that formerly $284,440 this year for many groups that formerly came under student organizations.
Because of the requests, allocations to student organizations will present problems this week according to Dave Dillon, student body president.
"THERE ARE over $50,000 worth of requests for services under writing. Dillon and the Desert Team have received this."
He added that the shortage of funds this year would probably force groups to quit depending so much on the activity fee allocations to cover their expenses.
Besides student organizations, three other areas that are concerned about finances are the KU Athletic Department, the KU Mens basketball team and the intramural sports program.
The Athletic Department will receive $15 a student each semester, or an estimated $162,920 from the activity fee compared to the $100,000 it received this year. Because of a project deficit of $59,000 for fiscal year 2014, the department is still short of money.
"THERE'S NO DOUBT in my mind the athletic department has got to look for additional revenue," said Dillon, who is a member of the KU Athletic Board.
Dillon said he did not think the Kansas would get the increase because it would force a reduction in apportionments in other areas—a move that would require a
Dillon said an increase in general ticket admission for football would not help next year, because tickets had already been printed.
Dillon agreed that KU basketball games were inexpensive entertainment for his children. He bought a $4.50 season ticket, but he said he hated to see ticket prices go up because many other student fees would be higher at the college. "I'd say I felt like I would have gone into effect by fall."
THE UNIVERSITY Daily Kansan will receive $1.35 of each student's $12 activity fee or an estimated $43,990 next year, but the Kansan Board has requested the appartment be increased to $1.68 which would increase the Kansan's allocation to $35,760.
vote of approval by two-thirds
Intramural sports are in trouble because the program will not receive the $5,300 it usually receives from the University in addition to the Senate's allocation.
ACCORDING TO THE Senate's apportionment enactment, intramura will receive 20 cents a student each semester or after having received $3,000 this year.
In his preliminary report, O'Neill recommended an increase of 18 cents in the bank account balance even if the Finance and Auditing Committee agrees and formally recommends this measure to the Senate, it must receive two-thirds support like the Kansan councils.
After holding its hearings this week, the committee will present its recommendations at the Senate meeting April 26 and the Senate will attempt to finalize the budget.
