Muskie Seizes Delegate Lead
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP)—Sen. Edmund S. Musk of Maine pulled ahead in his fight to gain a majority of New Hampshire's Democratic national convention delegates as the votes were counted Wednesday.
With 91 per cent of the state's precincts reporting, Muskhe held a 15-5 lead over the 84 per cent.
The close race for the delegates was even more surprising than McGovens' preferential primary showing, since Muskie managers had expected a sweep of the 20 convention slots. New Hampshire will cast 18 nominating votes at the national convention, but each delegate elected in the Tuesday ballot will call nine-tenths of a vote.
Muskie won with 48 per cent of the vote, while Sen. George S. McGovern of South Dakota was strengthening his rival White House bid by scoring an unexpected 37 per cent.
Both McGovern and Muskie are entered there, and both of them Wednesday downgraded the significance of an 11-way race to Gov. George C. Wallace was favored to win.
MUSKIE'S preferential primary vote fell short of an absolute majority of the ballots cast in New Hampshire. The outcome provided a less than overwhelming victory for Florida campaigns across the nation, with a tough Florida contest coming up next Tuesday.
McGovern said he had scored "both a moral and a political victory."
Muskie claimed "a good, solid victory,
considering all the problems we faced in
the war."
He said, "We deliberately sacrificed the
possibility of a maximum showing in order to have some resources left for the other
BUT THE POLITICAL psychology produced by McGoventry's potent challenge to Muskie in his own northern New England state was sure to encourage Muskie's rivals.
President Nixon, who captured 69 per cent of the Republican ballots cast and swept two challengers—Rep. Paul N. McCloskey and John Ashbrook—won the 14 GOP nominating votes at stake in New Hampshire.
The highly publicized Democratic preference primary was waged entirely for psychological stakes, awarding no delegates. Delegates running as pledged, or favoring individual presidential candidates, were elected separately.
In the preference primary, this was the situation, with 97 per cent of the 302 pres.
Muskie 40,425, or 48 per cent.
Mayor Sam Vorty of Los Angeles, 5,244, or 6 per cent.
Rep. Wilbur D. Mills of Arkansas, 3,508 or 4 per cent.
Sen. Vance Hartke of Indiana, 2,326 or 3 per cent.
SEN. EDWARD M. KENNEDY of Massachusetts was the only other Democrat to reach 1 per cent, with 794 write-in votes. Democrat primary, with 96 per

McGovern's Strong Primary Bid Surprises Local Political Activists
South Dakota Sen. George McGovens' showing in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary caught many local persons by surprise.
Sen. Edmard Muskie, D-Maine, won the primary with 48 per cent of the vote, but McGovern's 37 per cent tally was not as far behind as many had expected.
President Nixon's 69 per cent showing was smaller than most Democrats had before.
mown opponents, Rep. Pete McCloskey, Rcaillin, with 20 per cent and Rep. John Browne, with 15 per cent.
Lynn Knox, St. Louis, Mo., freshman and chairman of the Douglas County McGovern for President Committee, was pleased with her candidate's showing.
According to Knox, McGoventry had said anything over 25 per cent would be a violation of his contract.

30 and 35 per cent of the votes it would force other candidates to re-examine
"THEER is no doubt now that he is a serious candidate with vote giving power and is a force to be contended with," Knox said.
Knox said McGoverson's showing might draw more volunteers to his campaign who were previously uninvolved because he bought McGoverson didn't have a chance.
James Titus, KU professor of political science and adviser to the Young Democrats, said. "It's more a bale game than it is a race." She fell in the race and Humphrey's untested.
"I think it'll be a big shot of adrenaline. I hope it will give us a big boost," she said. Sam Ford, Independence, Kans. freshman and president of the KU Young Drivers, said, "I was pleased with the results. I was surprised with McGovens showing."
TITUS SAID he expected the New Hampshire contest to have little effect on the candidates' relative popularity in Kansas.

State Budget Nears Final House Vote

The $430 million appropriations bill including funds for higher education, passed by the Kansas Senate Monday, is now being considered by the House Ways and Means Committee. Debate on the measure will take place on Friday. No, Calvin Strowg, R-Athens, "it" had a "fairly its
Rep. Calvin Strowig, R-Ablene, speaker of the House, said the bill had a "fairly good chance" of passing the House in its present form.
Strowig said an amendment was proposed in committee Tuesday which would allow university employees beginning July 1 instead of the 1, date specified in the Senate version of the bill. He said the motion was defeated and probably be offered again on the house floor.
REP JERRY HARPER, R-Wichita, said the big question facing the House was whether to amend the bill by granting a wage increase to welfare workers in addition to the taxation classified university employees and unaccompanied members, provided for in the Senate bill.
Last year, he said, classified employees at the universities and the Kansas Welfare Department as employees not granted pay raises. Now the welfare workers are the only ones receiving federal aid.
Harper expressed concern that the legislature might establish a pattern of granting pay raises only to groups which have been under the same conditions although they had every right, he said.
Harper said passage of the bill would probably be an all-or-none proposition. Unless increases for welfare workers are required, workers will not receive raises either, he said.
THE APPROPRIATIONS bill now before the House Ways and Means Committee and a companion $550 million bill passed by the House last week will furnish funds for Docking's total budget, which amounts to $990 million.
Keith Nitcher, vice-chancellor for business outlined the bill's implication.
Gov. Docking's recommended budget gave $1,935,169 to KU to be used for wages and salaries. Nitcher said this included as a per cent pay raise for unclassified employee benefits, education and research, and a one-step increase for classified civil service employees.
The section will emphasize the upcoming student elections and feature articles on politics on both state and national levels of government.
An eight-page special spring section will be presented in the Friday edition of the knightly magazine.
He said the University requested an 8 per cent salary increase for unclassified faculty members and a two-step wage increase for classified civil service employees.
Special Section
Also included in the special edition will be a section of sports, with features on the following teams:
HE SAID THERE was no increase in the salaries of extension personnel, and although Dochling did not specify a percentage of salary received in effect granted them a 1. per cent raise.
Docking's recommended budget was then introduced into the Senate Ways and Means Committee. Nitcher said the committee amended the budget and added it to KU's share of the budget. The increase wasearmarked for wages and salaries.
Of this amount, $21,130 was to provide funds for a 5 per cent salary increase to those working in research and extension, Nitcher said.
The rest of the money, $60,417, would permit a one-step increase for classified employees to go into effect on April 1, 1973, Nitcher said.
He said this allocation was based on the likelihood that an appropriation would be introduced in an omnibus bill to provide $400 for an increase effective April 1, 1972.
THE EFFECT of omnibus bill and the amendment to the budget if they are passed, said Nitcher, would be to allow one-step wage increase for classified employees at the universities to go into effect three months earlier than increases for state state institutions. The increase would take effect on April 1 instead of July 1.
Nitcher said the money appropriated by the omnibus bill would finance the wage increases from April 1 to July 1, 1972. The governor's budget recommendation
covers the period from July 1, 1972, to June
30, 1973. The amendment to the budget
would provide increases for the months of
April, May and June 1973.
Docking's budget recommendations for KU total $94,168,076, of which $24,184,949 would come from the general state revenue through taxes. The remainder would be provided by general student fees, interest on a permanent fund administered by federal funds, departmental earnings, traffic fees and other restricted funds.
NITCHER EMPHASIZED that the pay raises for the classified employees would not be retroactive. He said university employees would still be nine months behind their counterparts in other state agencies, even with the increase.
In addition to the appropriations bill, the Senate passed part of Gov. Docking's tax program. The plan calls for an end to the federal income tax as a deduction on state tax returns, applicable to both corporations and financial institutions.
THE MEASURE is expected to raise nearly $24 million in revenue. The bill is due by January 31.
In passing the bill, it appears that the
end of the meeting will be returned at
the end of the meeting on Friday.
The issue of reapportioning Senate districts in the state may require the legislature to meet for a one-day special session. If the matter is not resolved by Friday, the session will take place on March 20.

Glick Says Harrisburg 8 Seek New Peace Activity
Ted Glick, under indictment for conspiracy with seven others, including Father Philip Berrigan, spoke Wednesday night in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union about his role in the alleged conspiracy of the Harrisburg Eight.
Glick and the other members of the Harrisburg Eight are under indictment for conspiracy to kidnap Henry Kissinger, to blow up parts of the Washington, D.C. government and to destroy property of the federal government and the Selective Service System.
Glick said the first time he had heard of the alleged conspiracy was when the charges were filed by J. Edgar Hoover in November 1970.
Glick's seven co-defendants are currently in trial in Harris. Glick will be tried at a later date because he has decided to act as his own attorney, Judge Marcia Mellon, until he obtains a possible lack of legal knowledge on Glick's part to harm the other defendants.
Glick said he preferred to defend himself because he thought it tended to "humanize" the court. It is good to get away from the roles of lawyer, client, judge and jury, he said, and appeal to the jury as a human being.

Glick, before Douglas' father died last summer he said he couldn't believe a word his son said because he had lied all of his life.
The goal of the Harrisburg Eight, Glick said, is not simply to be acquitted. The trial will be a success, he said, if it causes him harm. It could cause him harming and if it leads to a revitalization

Few Women Enroll in Engineering
By CLYDE LOBB
Kansan Staff Writer
An article in the February 1969 issue of the Consulting Engineer stated that only one percent of the nation's engineers were women. The article said the few number of women in the engineering field was attributable to "negative social pressures girls to see certain occupations as within the exclusive province of men."
Though the article is somewhat dated, the School of Engineering at the University of Kansas can boast that it "no longer province of men" well into the seventies.
During the fall of 1971 the school had only four women enrolled in a class of 236 graduate students. The reason for the lack of female interest in the School of Engineering might have been best described by one who dropped out of the school.
"I can't stand just being totally desse-
d," Lynn Gibson, Overland Park freshman, who recently left the School of Engineering, said recently. "I found it very hard to be a girl and to be an engineer."
MANY WOMEN who were interviewed said they thought discrimination did exist
to varving degrees in the school.
Gibson said she transferred out of chemical engineering this semester because of the subtle acts of discrimination she felt.
She said that in one of her classes which had 45 students and only two girls, she felt like she had to become "one of the guys" in order to fit in.
Gibson said she hoped to go back into engineering in a few years when she was more mentally ready to meet the social needs of her children. She her in her first semester in the school.
Marcia Hunn, Lawrence senior in architectural engineering, said recently that one of her professors said that only those women who are sure of themselves and who are very sound academically enter the field of engineering. The professor said this was an indication that she had been willing to overcome the traditional biases from men, have thus far taken up this field.
ON THE OTHER hand, Dianne J. Murphy, Tulsa, Oka, senior in aerospace, and Denise Wolf, Mission sophomore in chemical engineering, said they had felt little discrimination. Murphy said she thought the men in her classes look out for
Jamila Islam, Indianapolis freshman in chemical engineering, said men seemed surprised at first, but they accepted her as one of the group.
her.
All the women interviewed said they thought most faculty members readily accept and encourage women in the School of Engineering.
"I seems like they (women) just never enroll at the freshman level and the program is so small." Green said. "When we go out to high schools we recruit both men and women."
"I don't know if it's our fault or whose it is." Reese said.
CHARLES D. REESE, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, said that for some reason women just transfer out.
Don Green, professor of chemical and petroleum engineering said he failed to see any discrimination on the part of faculty members who were recruiting of women would be a good idea.
Concerning job opportunities, Green said he thought job opportunities for women were excellent. He attributed his success to the women's groups and the sex
discrimination laws imposed on companies.
"It is very interesting that women graduates in engineering last year received a higher starting salary than men," Rees said. "This is probably the only profession anywhere where this is true."
William P. Smith, dean of the School of Engineering said he thought women engineers were in just as great a demand as men.
Smith said one reason for women receiving higher wages than men was
He said there was so much pressure on companies to hire women that competition was taking place among companies which caused women to receive higher starting salaries and more job offers than men in some cases.
AN ARTICLE from Chemica-
Engineering, Sept. 11, 1967, said "girl
engineers who graduated in 1966 from 26
leading universities got an average of five
job offers each, some getting as many
as eight or ten."
