Prof Says China Needs Birth Control
Nixon's dramatic gesture of traveling to China did appeal to the Chinese, he said, because 24 hours after Nixon's arrival every newspaper in the People's Republic of China carried prominent coverage of his visit and of his trip.
An authority on China said last night that the most dramatic thing the United States could do as a friendly gesture to China would be to "provide massive amounts of birth control aid after having provided a good example."
Harry Llandisquit, professor of anthropology at the University of Tennessee, told a China Forum audience of 30 that politics is important as adding in control of population.
"The one issue that is overriding," he said, "is that all of the rational plans, all of the rational alternatives depend entirely on the control of population within rainland Asia."
Lindquist, who has studied China for 12 years, said he did not think that President Nixon "lost face" with America during his trip to China. The dinner totoes with Premer Chou En-lan, he said, showed that he had received invitation of the Chinese government.
"I DO NOT think that someone less than the president could have made the kind of decisions that President Nixon was able to make." he said.
"One can discuss whether the parting of the ways could have been a bit more uneven."
Lindquist said an undeniable result of the trip was that Japanese confidence in the United States was shaken. He added that he thought the United States and Japan had reached the point where there had to be a "parting of ways."
He said those who have said other officials should have gone to China instead of Nixon didn't realize that in Communist countries almost any agreement which was not made by the top leadership was not recognized.
"MOST CHINESE concern is not with America as the enemy, or the U.S.S.R. as the enemy, but the Japanese as the enemy," he said. "The Japanese could be in the future," he said.

Big 8 Advisers Hear Resolution To Alter Seating of Visiting Fans
By MARCIA CLIFTON
Kansan Staff Writer
A Student Senate resolution dealing with seating policies for fans of visiting teams at Big Eight athletic events was presented on Friday to other Big Eight schools last weekend
Charles Oldfather, University attorney,
introduced the resolution at a meeting in
Kansas City. The resolution was approved by
the Student Senate Dec. 1, 1971.
It would require that all Big Eight schools reserve 10 per cent of their total football and basketball seating capacity to attend games. The tickets be sold by the visiting school ticket office, that the visiting school mail to the home team all unsold tickets five days before the game; and that one-third of the students' allocation be reserved for students.
OLDFATHER SAID Thursday that the resolution was presented to each school's athletic department and business manager. The sale of tickets to visiting fans is currently handled on an individual basis by each school.
Olifather said that the main objection wouldn't necessarily be for financial reasons, but that most schools liked to "take care of their own people first." He cited an example of the University of Chicago as having approximately 3,800 seats for K-U.F. students.
"That's less than five per cent of their capacity," Oldfather said. "They could have taken a different course."
Wade Stinson, KU athletic director, expressed the same concern. He said the chances were slim that the resolution would be enacted. But he worked for basketball games because of
Women in Medicine Fighting Bias

Although the percentage of women in the various fields of medicine is still low, steps are being taken to reduce discrimination and, the number of women is increasing.
By KEVIN SHAFER
Even with steps being taken to reduce discrimination, many women still encounter
Dr. Margaret Haggan, a graduate of the University of Michigan School of Medicine and a doctor at Wkins Memorial Hospital, recently cited some of the problems she has encountered in a predominantly male profession.
Haggan said she didn't go to medical school in her home town of Cleveland because it refused to admit women students.
Instead, Haggan attended the University of Michigan, both as an undergraduate and a graduate. In her class at medical school, she was the event of the students were women, she said.
"I FOUND that when I was looking for an internship that there were two that wouldn't accept me because I was a woman," Haggan said. "One was in obstetrics in Michigan, and the other simply didn't take any women."
One instance, said Haggan, is in Philadelphia where the formerly alfemale medical school is now accepting male students. No longer is the school focused on Pharmacy or the Medical School, but simply the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science.
The University of Kansas Medical Center is initiating a program to insure the equality of women students Chester Wilson and Nicholas Chancellor for the Affirmative Action Program on March 1, and efforts are being made to pressure on the women medical students.
THE PRACTICING staff at Watkins Hospital is made up of almost one-half women.
Haggan said medical schools had been so pressured against discrimination that the difference between past and present was phenomenal.
When asked about possible female-male friction among the Watkins staff, Haggan said, "Here I'd say that they are all very congenial. I don't see any difference."
Almost at the opposite end of the spectrum is physical therapy, which employs an entirely female staff both here and in Kansas City classes.
Jacqueline King, chief of the department of physical therapy at the health service, said that the uneven distribution of men and women in the country is primarily to the salary opportunities.
Women are also becoming increasingly involved in many other areas of medicine.
WHILE THE total percentage of women students enrolled in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Kansas is significantly low, the percentage has risen to 54 percent within two years. Howard Mossberg, dean of the School of Pharmacy, said recently.
Although the total number of women enrolled in the School of Pharmacy showed an increase of 3 per cent over the spring semester of 1971, the percentage of first year women enrolled in the school was 43 per cent in the spring to 1 per cent this fall.
Figures released by assistant registrar Gary Thompson showed that last semester's enrollment in the School of Pharmacy was 24 per cent women.
"The trend is almost perfect compared to four years ago," Mossberg said. "We were running about 8 or 6 per cent female applicants. Quite honestly, there were no women in the elite eliminate female applicants. We take all applications that are academically qualified."
MOSBERG SAID that with the constant increase in the number of women enrolled in the School of Pharmacy, he would like to have more cent women within the next few years.
The School of Pharmacy employs no women professors, but does use a few women graduate students in teaching capacities.
"The truth of the matter around the country is that as we look at Ph.D. applicants, the female hasn't gotten up in the cloud," Ms. Bossberg said. "But it's coming."
Unlike medical students who must attend medical schools to prepare for their profession, KU pharmacy students are able to complete their programs with a course in pharmacology that seems to experience little difficulty even though they are in a definite minority.
Mossberg said that since the profession was so lucrative when practiced, the female student was often reluctant to stop to learn rather than actually practice pharmacy.
MARY SACHE, Easton senior, said she felt right at home in the School of Law at Columbia University.
Cathy Tasset, Pratt senior, said that every student in the program encountered more or less the same problems. Consequently, women students really do not encounter many more problems because they are a minority, she said.

limited seating capacities.
STINSON SAID most students who wanted to attend away games did get tickets. He said he knew of only three or four teams that did not get tickets to see out-of-town games.
Nixon Linked In ITT Battle
Hume quoted Mrs. Beard as describing her confrontation with Mitchell at a reception in the Kentucky governor's office following the Kentucky Derby last May.
WASHINGTON (AP) — An allying lobbyist was quoted Thursday as saying President Nixon told former Atty. Gin John N. Mitchell to go easy in a pending Justice Department suit against the National Telephone & Telegraph公司.
Hume said he confronted Mrs. Beard with a memo she wrote linking a $400,000 pledge from ITT to the Republican National Convention in San Diego and the eventual out-of-court settlement of the antitrust case against the firm.
Brit Hume, an aide to columnist Jack Anderson, said he heard of Nixon's alleged role in the case from Mrs. Dita Beard, Washington lobbyist for ITT.
Here is what Hume told the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is re-examining the nomination of Richard G. Kleindienst to succeed Mitchell as
Shortly afterward, Mitchell issued a statement saying: "The testimony attributing statements to me involving the foundation is totally false and without foundation."
"I categorically deny that I ever had any such conversation or that I ever made any such comment."
"The President has never, repeat never,
made any request to me directly or
indirectly concerning the settlement of the
court and I took no part in that settlement."
House Firm on Antibusing; Education Aid in Jeopardy
Kansan Writer
WASHINGTON—The House of Representatives voted Wednesday 272 to 139 to instruct members of the conference on the Higher Education Act not to compromise on antibusing amendments to the bill.
The rare parliamentary move places the $20 billion aid to higher education bill in jeopardy by leaving no room for compromise between strict House antibusing amendments and the more anti-busting provisions passed by the Senate.
Senate members of the conference committee have said they would stand solidly behind the Senate version. Democratic leader Mike Mansfield of Montana, who authored the Senate antibusing amendment along with
Republican leader Hugh Scott, said he would support the Senate version.
Another Senate committee member,
Jacob Javits, R-N-Y., vowed on the Senate
floor last week to uphold "the thinking of
the Senate" in the committee meeting.
If no compromise is reached, it is possible that all federal aid to higher education will expire on June 30 when institution for present programs expires.
The popularity of the present programs makes this unlikely, however, and it is probable that the Congress will pass a law requiring all students to continue present aid to higher education.
If this happens all new programs in the higher education act will not become law. Among those are general purpose grants to colleges and universities that would give higher education direct federal grants for the first time.

'Mitchell said the party in Kentucky had received a letter been contacted to lay down a policy.
"You mean this is what the President said?" Hume said he asked Mrs. Beard, who is now hospitalized with a serious heart ailment in Denver.
In answer to, Hume said Mrs. Beard softened the President's intent to mean that Nixon wanted Mitchell "to make a reasonable settlement."
Former Republican Kentucky Gov. Louis Nunn, who was host at the Derby reception, told the committee Tuesday that she had disappeared in a stupor during the reception.
