not last long, however. The United States Weather Bureau's forecast for the weekend indicates temperatures in the 60's and a slight chance of rain. But April showers bring May flowers and warmer weather.
With temperatures soaring to unseasonal highs, such as Thursday's 87 degrees, it seems only fair that Susan Hughes, Shawnee Mission junior, should pause from academic responsibility and enjoy the weather. The sun, wind and heat will
U.S. Planes Batter Enemy In Biggest Attack Since '68
SAIGON (AP)—In the biggest aerial onslaught since the bombing halt nearly three and one half years ago, large forces of U.S. planes pounded enemy targets Thursday in North Vietnam. Other allied planes raked enemy positions on South Vietnam's northern front after a break in bad weather.
For the first time in the war, the North Vietnamese fired a surface-to-air missile from South Vietnamese soil. Witnesses on the northern front said the missile was fired at an allied plane from one of the bases. The Vietnamese bases. It missed the plane.
On the ground, bloody battles were reported 70-85 miles north of Saigon, where the North Vietnamese opened a new front Wednesday. The North Vietnamese tightened their lines close to Quang Tri, and the Viet Cong took eight-eight offensive on the northern front. But the South Vietnamese brought up heavy reinforcements.
OFFICIAL U.S. sources said the raids on North Vietnam, ordered by President Nixon, were aimed at nearly every type of target. The main area was Quang Bin, with Vietnam's southernmost province, and the enemy half of the dimentilated zone.
They cited the buildup of anti-aircraft defenses in the southern panhandle of North Vietnam and the troops and supply reserves that could be fed into the offensive in the northern front of South Vietnam.
Sources said the targets included fuel, ammunition and other supply deposits, long-
Council Changes Proposed
By ELAINE ZIMMERMAN
Kansan Staff Writer
Five guidelines for changes in University government structure, including one which would transfer legislative power from the University Senate to the University Council, were made by the University Council Thursday.
The Council's Organization and Administration Committee formulated the guidelines. The suggestions were received by the committee to draft specific Senate Code revisions over the summer and present them to the Council and the senate.
Under the present system, both the Council and Senate have legislative authority. The Council is composed of student and faculty delegates from the
University Senate and acts in behalf of the Senate according to limitations imposed by the Senate. Both bodies make policy under shared jurisdiction, but the Senate has the authority to decide jurisdictional boundaries.
UNDER THE RESOLUTIONS, the University Senate meets for informational purposes and general discussions to guide the Council in its decisions. The Council, not the Senate, would exercise voting power.
The committee also recommended that a provision be made for polling the University Senate by mail on any major issue as directed by a majority vote in the Council or by a position signed by 20 per cent of the senators. A similar said such a provision would account for occasional needs of specific involvement by the entire Senate.
KU Traffic Proposal Budget Problems Slow
Administrative budgeting problems will have to be resolved before the new traffic control plan can be presented to the public, H. Robert Malinowski, assistant director of the Traffic Library and chairman of the Traffic and Parking Board, said Thursday.
Malinsowk had planned to present the plan at Wednesday's meeting of the Senate, but he was informed that there was not room on the agenda. Malinsowk said that as far as he knew, the plan would not be presented to him. He would be in an open hearing, hopefully next week.
Some aspects of the plan have already been publicized and have led to controversy. Malinowski said he thought some of the questions raised during the past week would be answered when details of the plan were presented.
"It is my understanding that some minor budgeting problems have to be worked out, and that as soon as that is accomplished we will schedule an open hearing on the proposal," Malinowsky said.
"The sooner everything is out in the open, the sooner we can begin meaningful conversation."
THE MAJOR CONTROVERSY so far has stemmed from the proposal to make Jayhawk Boulevard and Memorial Drive for campus bus systems. The mayor would have on the campus bus system
Jn Liemwellyn, Lawrence graduate student and a member of the Student Senate Transportation Committee, released a statement this week charging that the plan would seriously affect the campus bus system.
"Forty per cent of the buses' revenue is obtained from the five major bus stops on the north side of Jayhawk Boulevard, which would have to be moved to Memorial Drive under the proposed plan." Liewellyn said.
Llewellyn contended that westbound bus service would be seriously inconvenienced and that acute scheduling problems would result on the system's Daisy Hill runs.
"the scheduling problem results from both the increased distance for runs and the increased time it would take for studen to complete a run at the bus stops and vice-versa," Lewwilly said.
The plan to install 400 to 500 parking meters on campus has also drawn criticism from some students. Malnowski said the installation would eliminate the need to raise revenue through parking fines and cited the criticism Traffic and Security have received for their policies.
Malinowke said, however, he did not think the problems created for the bus system were significant.
HE SAID the problem could be solved by adding an interface that it would connect physically unfeasible
A faculty member proposed an amendment to make such mailings mail ballots rather than mere polls. Another council member pointed out that this would legislate power to the Senate, thus defeating the purpose of the resolution which transferred that power to the Council.
ANOTHER FACULTY member mentioned that the mail ballot issue had been a major point of controversy previously, and inclusion of a mail ballot in the amendment contributions would make reform unlikely. The proposed amendment was defeated.
He said the plan would also give students wider choice in parking, instead of restricting them to one lot as under the present system.
Another resolution called for the establishment of two separate University councils and senates for the University of Kansas Medical Center and the Lawrence campus. The organization and administrative commons differed the differences between the two institutions were of significant magnitude to warrant separate governing structures.
At previous University Council meetings, hopes had been expressed that separate governing bodies would alleviate the difficulties in achieving a quorum encountered by the Senate because few center representatives attended meetings.
"Under the proposed system, the bus service would tend to become a one-way system," he said. "Westbound fares would undoubtedly fall off as many dorm resi- dences could be on walking home. This would cause the bus to be financially shaky bus system."
The resolutions endorsed election on a proportional basis for the Faculty Council, which comprises the faculty section of the university. The faculty recognizes school or college, military science, the administration, the libraries and computer science would have one representative for each 20 Full Time teachers (f) faculty members or fraction thereof.
THE COMMITTEE also recommended that efforts be made to coordinate Medical Center and Lawrence campus activities when they were of mutual interest.
THE REASONS stated for adoption of the amendment was the need for delegates representing a University-wide constituency. One faculty member said certain points of view were fashionable within certain schools and colleges, and a faculty member holding contrary views provided provision for a few large representatives would allow views which depart from the norm to be heard, be said.
An amendment calling for the election of 10 per cent of the Faculty Council at large was adopted. An arrangement of the ratio of representatives per FTE faculty members was left to the Organization and Administration Committee.

The North Vietnamese radio claimed 10 U.S. jets had been shot down. The U.S. Command refused to say whether any jets had been lost.
Students would be represented on the university Council by one student delegate.
Dissolution of the University Council would occur if one-third of the University Senate voted for it under another constitution, or if a new Council would then take place.
IT WAS REPORTED that the U.S. command brought nearly all its 700 planes in the Indochina theater into the bombing of North Vietnam, the attacks on the northern front, and against enemy supply lines in Laos.

The blows were the most punishing since the peak days before President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered a halt to the bombing of North Vietnam in November, 1968.
The U.S. Command said this week's attacks on North Vietnam were "in response to the apparent attack" of South Vietnam by North Vietnamese forces who crossed the demilitarized zone". It added the raids also were to help deter further attacks, be of limited duration, the command said.

commander of U.S. forces in South Vietnam.
With Minh's air squadrons and reserves depleted by redeployment of units to the base, ground troops were said to be hurting for air support. The only U.S. air support available was a squadron of A37s, small helicopter gunships, members, and some bellicopter gunships.

Wichita-Based F105s Ordered to S.E. Asia
By the Associated Press
Spokesman at McConnell Air Force Base denounced to amplify a disclosure by sources in Washington that Thursday that a squadron of U.S. marines had been ordered to Southeast Asia base.
"A base alert exercise"—not a drill, but an actual alert—was in effect for all Tactical Air Command units on the base, they said.
The spokesman did not reveal any details of the number of men or planes involved but a squadron usually numbers about 18 aircraft.
The planes ordered to Southeast Asia are from the 23rd Tactical Fighter Wing, an indirect descendant of the famed Flying Tiger squadron of World War II.
The Pentagon refused all comment on the assignment, giving its standard reply that "for security purposes we do not and will not discuss operational matters."
THE SPOKESMAN SAID, "The Department of Defense has said that we will take whatever precautionary measures are required to protect remaining U.S. forces in Vietnam."
It was understood that the Nixon administration was considering sending additional aircraft to Southeast Asia but did not appear willing pending further developments in the war.
Earlier this week, President Nixon ordered about 20 B52 bombers to the
western Pacific, raising the number of these eight-engine jets in the area to nearly 100, about the same number as in the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war.
Other attack planes are assigned to the area at bases in South Vietnam, in Thailand and aboard four Navy aircraft carriers. About 400 planes were used Thursday against enemy targets in North Vietnam's northern front.
THE SAIQON GOVERNMENT, battling Communist troops on three fronts, has asked the United States for additional air and naval support.
n these planes will give the United States greater capability to mount attacks in the type of poor weather that had hampered the war. This also week over the northern front.
The last F105s were pulled out of Southeast Asia last year as part of the Vietnamization program. They have been used heavily against targets in the Hanoi-Istanbul and after the United States bailed the daily bombing campaigns against North Vietnam in 1968.
A Pentagon spokesman indicated earlier in the day that most of the new air strikes by American bombers have been aimed at knocking out surface-to-air missiles and antiaircraft artillery concentrations in and above the demilitarized zone in Vietnam.
