Jury Law Applies To KU Voters
By MARSHA SEARS
Kansan Staff Writer
Kansas' new jury law, which went into effect Jan. 1, 1972, qualifies any registered voter as a prospective juror. This allows a judge to decide whether or not no longer are selected from tax roles.
According to District Court Judge Frank R. Gray, a student who is a Douglas county registered voter may qualify as a defendant in County County as his legal place of residence.
Although students and faculty are now called to serve on juries, Gray said that he often excused them if they could not afford the time or if they had to attend classes.
So far, Gray said, the new system has worked as he had expected. Under the new ruling, he knew that he would have to face many prospective jurors from duty.
Gray has had to select only one jury in the new ruling went into effect, he said, and he found it necessary to select jurors from which to select an available jury.
Gray said the new system had not been its effect even a week, over period of time.
The present jury law states that people are excused from jury duty if they are unable to read, write and understand English, if they are incompetent or if they have, within the last 10 years, been convicted of a felony.
Resident Voters Are Eligible for Jury Duty

Other reasons a person may be excused are: the person has served as a juror within the last year, the person's presence is required elsewhere for the public welfare, the person would suffer hardship by serving as a juror or the person's personal relationship to the parties in the case would make impartiality difficult.

The "sense of the Congress" resolution, which was passed last week by the U. S. Senate and called for student representation on the governing boards of American universities and colleges, had raised the question of the effect it will have in Kansas.
Chalmers said in Kansas the Board of Regents represented the taxpayers and the department.
Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmeris Jr. said recently the role of the governing board must be examined before membership could be determined.
PAUL WUNSCH of Kingman, chairman of the Board of Regents, said he could not understand why the Congress would pass a resolution of this nature. He said he did not expect a discussion of this issue to be taken over by the Regents' agenda in the near future.
The resolution was passed by Congress as a clear signal to students and their universities that the national government also thinks students have a right to participate in decisions which most affect lives, Sen. Fred Harris, D-Oda, said.
The Regents do have a channel to hear student opinion. The State Colleges
Coordinating Committee, which includes the six student body presidents, representatives from the faculty, administrative personnel and three regents, meet regularly to discuss problems in higher education.
CHALMERS SAID the coordinating committee had succeeded in opening lines of communication. He also said that the need to re-examine the role of governing boards exists, not only in Kansas, but nationwide.
Chalmeris said governing boards that made policies directly affecting students, such as those of private institutions, might require a student member.
The Senate Code of the University of kansas provides for student input in all渗
puts.
The code requires that policy committees include a minimum of 20 per cent student representation. The difficulty with this provision, according to some studies, is that there are not always students interested in participating on these committees.
LOUIS SCOTT, Lawrence senior and presiding officer of the University Senate, said the Senate Code oprovisionation had been effective in some areas.
Senate Executive Committee said, "In cases where students were added to committees and they actually participated, they have added a different viewpoint and improved the effectiveness of the committee."
Muskie, Nixon Win In New Hampshire
McGovern, McCloskey Gain
MANCHESTER, N. H. (AP)-Sen.
Edmund S. Muskie of Maine won the New
Hampshire presidential primary Tuesday.
He defeated George McGovern and a field of George Clinton.
President Nixon swept to an easy Republican victory over two GOP gospels.
McGovern was running second in the Democratic contest, polling a share of the ballots he said would give his White House campaign a big boost across the nation.
"We have every cause to be pleased," he said. "We appear to be holding about one-third of the vote. I don't think Muskie is going to get 50 per cent."
In the Republican content, 50 per cent of the expected vote had been counted, and about 40 per cent of the
Muskie began complaining about a phantom opponent as public opinion polls showed his New Hampshire rating dipping during the waning days of the campaign.
"How we did here, on what was thou… to be Muskie turf, is going to give us a big boost in the rest of the country," he said. He said the results would be Republican national chairman, issued a statement saying the results of the New Hampshire primary reflected "the people are going to make American people are going to make President Nixon and his leadership in November."
MGCOvern said his second-place showing gave him "a leg up on everyone
Rep. Paul N. McCloskey of California was second, with 9,756, or 20 per cent. Rep. John M. Ashbrook of Ohio had 5,020, for 10 percent. Corinne cornedian, had 473 votes for one per cent.
McCLOSKEY REAFFIRMED in Concord his intention of quitting the race and seeking re-election to Congress, if he did not gain 20 per cent of the GOP vote.
The Maine senator said in advance political analysts would measure the outcome not in terms of a victory over his Democratic rivals, but against a landside standard they would set after the balloting.
KU Task Force Petition Seeks Birth Control Clinic

Kansan Staff Writer
To celebrate International Women's Day, pertitions urging the establishment of a birth control clinic at Watkins Memorial hospital will be presented to William M. Balfour, vice-chancellor for student affairs, at 3 p. m. today, according to information from the Women's Center, and Janet Sears, assistant to the dean of women.
The Women's Health Care Task Force organized the petitions, Sears said. The group is one of many subcommittees that work to address women's health. Although many members were involved
with the February Sisters, the Task Force is an independent group, she said.
The petitions have been signed by 1,425 women. Lomusna said.
International Women's Day commemorates the 1857 march of the Female Garment and Textiles Workers in New York, Sears said.
Other activities planned for today include a "fashion show" at 11:30 a.m. in the Kansas Union. Role playing will be used in a satirical review of the different stereotypes attributed to women, Lominska said.
Tentative plans also include guerrilla
guests in front of Strom Hall later in
the winter.
Schedules of today's events are available at the Women's Center in the McNamara Building.
MGOVERN CLAIMED on election morning he had surged dramatically among undecided and uncommitted voters and claimed the contest was razor close.
That kind of an outcome would be a setback for Muskie. McGovern claimed he
Democratic Vote
Here are the vote totals in the New Hampshire Democratic presidential preference primary, with 65 per cent of the expected vote counted.
Muskie 25,259–48 per cent
McGovern 18,431–35 per cent
Yorty 3,611–7 per cent
Hartke 1,717–3 per cent
Coll 182–0 per cent
Write-ins:
Mills 2,867–5 per cent
Kennedy 487–1 per cent
Hawley 189–9 per cent
Jackson 147–9 per cent
McCarthy 20–0 per cent
would look like a winner if he could finish a close second to the heavily favored Muskie, senator from Maine.
The other Democratic candidate were Sen. vance Hartke of Indiana, Los Angeles Mayor Kevin McCarthy and New York City mayor
Hartford, Conn., a social worker who at 32 is too young to be president, and Rep. Wilbur D. Mills of Arkansas, a late entry student, staged a $150,000 bid for write-in rides.
The Democratic contest overshadowed a Republican primary in which President Donald Trump faced
The 302 polling places across the state seemed as early as 6 a.m. and were closing at 5 a.m.
ESTIMATES OF THE Democratic turnout ranged from 60,000 to 70,000. Well over 100,000 Republicans were expected to vote.
Separate delegate contests, the long list of candidates and the paper balloting raised the prospect of a lengthy election processing process to determine the outcome.
The feature race in New Hampshire was the presidential preference poll.
New Hampshire voters also chose delegates to cast 18 nominating votes at the Democratic national convention, and 14 at the GOP convention.
A change in election laws permitted independent voters, for the first time, to cast ballots in one of the primaries without being as serving as a member of the party involved.
Prof Notes Influence Of Mao on Literature
BY STUART BOYCE
Kansan Staff Writer
Huang spoke on "Literature of the Hung People's Republic" in the Forum Room of the United Nations.
The Communist Chinese think undesirable literature will corrupt the mind of the reader, said C. H. C. Huang, assistant professor of East Asian studies, Tuesday night.
Chairman Mao Tse-tung was mentioned several times by Huang as having had a major influence on the present literary trend in China.
Huang said that in 1942 Mao delivered a speech entitled "Talks on Literature and Art". In the speech Mao set down in the speech, he says, "they have motivated writers since then.
Mao's guidelines said;
—Art and literature must serve the workers.
-Writers must remold ideology by playing themselves into the struggle of the world.
Popularization must be the basis of elevation.
Political criterion comes before artistic criterion.
- Writers must study Stalinism and Marxism for a proletarian outlook.
—The rich legacy of Chinese and foreign literature should be studied.
"There is," Huang said, "undeniable imposition on freedom of speech."
He said that after 1949 "literature of men who had gone to Taiwan was banished"
During the cultural revolution, Huang said theories of literary work were
He said the Chinese people did not think their press freedom was being denied. Propaganda to influence the reader has been an ingredient of Chinese literature.
Huang said that China had not banned all foreign literature. He said that by 1963 there were 300 world classics translated into Chinese.
He said the Chinese did not publish undesirable literature because they thought it would corrupt the mind of the reader.
Communist Chinese literature was not an entertaining type, Huang said. He said it was dead serious and never without a purpose.
Huang said the Chinese people read a lot. Between 1952 and 1982, 60,000 literary works were published and 2.3 billion copies were sold.
The weaknesses were, he said, that there was too much discipline and too little free thought. He said the ideal was over glorified and the heroes were too perfect. There was an over amphasis on revolutionary heroism.
The strengths of the literature, he said,
were it was clean, optimistic and basically
healthy. Crime, self-greeed, racial
prejudice and gangsters were always
known. He said, as was unknown. He said great care was taken to produce children's literature.
Awareness Center Formed to Combat White Racism
By BOB EVANS
Kansan Staff Writer
A Racial Awareness Resource Center (RARC) has been established at the University of Kansas in response to white racism, said Mike Sears. RARC director
Sears, a graduate student in speech communication and human relations, said situations had arisen on campus which had been abandoned and an institutional level. Generally they has been seen as an inability of whites to perceive non-whites as equal human beings with distinct differences. The cases have been dehumanizing for all, he said.
The center, in its second week of operation, is a response to the dynamics and dehumanizing consequence of white racism. Sears said.
"The real source of racism is in white people," Sears said.
"SOME PEOPLE might think the sore intent of the program is to improve communication between black and white students in order to reach the point," Sears said. "The purpose is to help whites develop a white consciousness which will enable them to recognize their
own racism, others' racism, and the institution's racism.
Janiece Bassford, Beloit sophomore, a CWEN and participant in the session, said the group defined terms such as racism, whiteness, prejudice and blackness first.
"We then had discussions, participated in exercises, told what we thought we expected to learn from the session, and explored whiteness and our attitudes toward whiteness and blackness." Bassford said.
*By recognizing that racism, whites are able, in part, to liberate themselves from racism.*
Sears said the first racial awareness training session was held with the Cwens, a sophomore女国的honorary society, from 6 p.m. feb. 25 to 6 p.m. feb. 26.
"For one of our exercises we had an in-group and an out-group," she said. "The in-group was told to try to keep the out-group out and the out-group tried to get in. The two groups were anything from name-calling to physical force. Then the two groups exchanged roles.
"THROUGH EXPRESSING these attitudes we learned more about the other people in the group in terms of their individual attitudes. We also learned that
before you are able to understand others, you have to understand yourself," she
Sears said all the participants unanimously agreed that other individuals and groups in the University should experience a similar training session.
Racial awareness training sessions are open to all who wish to attend, said a spokesman for the RARC. The RARC office is at 204 Nunemaker.
Individuals who sign up to participate in the session will be placed on a list in the order that they notify the center, Sears. When the list has between 12 and 15 names, a racial awareness training group will be assigned on that list will be contacted, be said.
If the interested persons do not want to meet for a weekend, Sears said, sessions can be arranged to meet for three hours one day of the week for six or seven weeks.
SEARS SAID that RARC had received funds in part from the University Human Resources Department. Trust Committee, a fund for the cultural enrichment of residents in the residence
"Twelve group leaders have been selected whose academic, and
professional experiences qualify them as facilitators of white onacontamination," Sears
Each of the leaders has undergone an intensive training and evaluation program.
Sears said that an additional ten individuals were taking part in the training development program and would be qualified to lead training sessions.
Of the 12, two are campus ministers, two are faculty members and one is on the staff of the Kansas State Civil Rights Commission, he said.
"We feel racial human relations training is a vital part of contemporary education," she said. "We seek and realize accreditation for racial human relations training within various academic departments in order to serve as broad a University population as
To provide racial human relations training sessions for those KU persons and groups interested in expanding their knowledge of the dynamics and effects of white racism.
SEARS SAID the additional four objectives of the BARC included:
To increase the awareness of the need
for racial human relations training among persons and groups at KU.
To develop and organize a continuing and growing body of human relations trainers capable of facilitating their own interaction with the dynamics and effects of white racism.
To establish and maintain a system of evaluation of racial training sessions and other RARC activities in terms of these objectives.
Sears said that racial awareness workshop training sessions would be held for resident directors and assistants of the residence halls.
"It's as dehumanizing to patronize a person in a residence hall as it is to subordinate him," Sears said. "Racial fears are based on racial myths. An understanding of the myths is liberating to whites in reducing those fears."
"The RARC will be a success if the people who go through the workshop sessions begin to seriously consider the effects of their own white racism. It will change how we think about racial awareness training on campus."
