Education Bill Passes; Anti-Busing Defeated
By DAVID BARTEL
Kansan Writer
WASHINGTON — The Senate approved a bill that would cut the organic carbon reduction act. Wednesdays, 8th to 9th vote.
Both Kansas senators, James Pearson and Robert Dole, voted for passage of the bill which authorizes $23 billion for education over the next three years.
The final vote belies the controversy that surrounded proposed amendments to the bill to end basing of students for a deseration of schools.
As the deadline for the final vote approached, Senate conservatives sprung a last-minute, surprise maneuver to pass a bill that would limit time for debate expired. Dole, Kansas junior senator and Republican national chairman, took the floor to offer an amendment which turned out to be the final vote in favor of proposed defeated Tuesday by three votes.
AS DOLE finished speaking, Vice-President Sipro Agnew entered the Senate chamber to take the chair, apparently in the hope that the Senate would be tied on the measure returning to their presidential primary campaigns.
George McGovern, D-S. D.; Edmund Muskie, M.D., and Dauire Humphrey, D-Minn, returned from their campaigns in New Hampshire and Florida to turn the stringent anti-biased amendment that was passed last week by the Senate.
The three presidential candidates remained for Wednesday's vote, which failed 48 to 71. James Pearson, Kansas' vice president, voted against the Dele amendment.
With the failure of the maneuver the Senate quickly passed the basic law, which gave the Senate authority.
which had a compromise anti-busing amendment attached Tuesday. The bill now goes to a House Senate Conference between versions passed by each house.
The higher education act, among other provisions, creates a national foundation for post secondary education "to help colleges and universities meet educational needs of the next decade through renewal, reform and innovation."
It also creates an National Institute of education to coordinate educational research and development projects and, in the process, to establish a study of funding of higher education.
President Nixon proposes in his 1973 budget, the purchase of $4 million to the institute.
THE ACT ALSO creates a new form of aid to higher education through general purpose federal grants. The administration promised last year that a limited form of the no-strings-attached grant would be started early this year. But the 1973 budget recommends no funds for such a grant.
The administration reportedly is withholding funds to see what distribution formula is approved by the House-Senate Conference Committee. The House and Senate versions of the bill allocate grants on different formulas. The Senate bill would distribute funds to students receiving federal scholarships and loans at each school. The House bill would distribute the money on the basis of the total enrollment at each school.
The President is said to support the senate version and will recommend $100 million in supplemental appropriations to the Senate to fund grants if the Senate version is approved.

The speakers were June McMillan, Democratic committeewoman and precinct vice-chairman for the Democratic Party in Douglas County, Robert Casad, professor of law and David Berkowitz, a local attorney.
All three said the composition of Democratic political conventions at local, district and state levels would be governed by new rules. The rules specify that delegations must be representative of the party constituency in their areas.
To this end, not more than 60 per cent of a delegation may be of one sex. Minorities must be represented in proportion to their population in each political unit.
THE RULES also specify that the population under 30 years of age in each state must be at least 15.
Berkowitz explained the procedure involved in attending the Democratic local unit conventions to be held on April 8. The conference will mark this area have not yet been determined.
He said that to attend the conventions, a person must be a registered Democrat in the geographical area where each convention is held. Those who are registered voters but hold no party affiliation may have to state their name and sign an affidavit stating they will not participate in a similar convention for another party before the election.
There will be three local unit constitutions in Douglas County. The constituency in each district will be determined by county commission jurisdiction.
In Douglas County, according to Berkowitz, one delegate will be sent to the state and district conventions for every 500 votes given for Gov. Docking in the 1970 election.
BERKOWITZ SAID local unit conventions would nominate delegates to attend the district and state Democratic conventions which would be held later this
Anyone who attends the local convention is eligible to run for a position as delegate, Berkowitz said. Each person attending can vote, and the delegate that is available on the delegation.
To have their votes recorded, those who go to the conventions must vote for at least half as many candidates as there are positions.
Casad explained the procedures to be used at the district and state conventions.
He said the primary purpose of these conventions would be to choose delegates to attend the Democratic national convention.
The district convention, he said, would choose 30 of the state's 35 delegates. At the state convention, five at-large delegates will be chosen.
IN ALL, six delegates will be selected from each Congressional district in Kansas at the district conventions. Cassad held a meeting on May 13 throughout the state to be held
Casad said that at all convention levels, committees would be chosen to administer convention business. The committees will accept documentation, Credentials, Rules and Resolutions.
A meeting of the Douglas County Democratic party, she said, would be held at 8 p.m., March 15 at the University State Bank. Persons interested in getting more information on the Democratic conventions are invited to attend, she said.
McMillan said all conventions would be advertised through the local media from time to time.
The next activity to be sponsored by the Student Vote will be a speech, by Gov. Mendel's office.

Paden also said the center "should serve primarily children whose parents cannot afford the full cost" of child care, and that there was between $4 and $3 a day per child.
Besides the $2,500 to match a state or federal grant, the allocation included a $600 salary for a director for two months and $100 to advertise for a director.
After John Mize, Salina senior and a member of the Union Bookstore Company, will declare in the Kansas Union Bookstore profits over the next five years, the Senate approved the recommendations of the Commerce Department distribution of the bookstore profits.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS will be submitted to the Executive Committee of the Kansas Memorial Union Corporation for its approval.
The Senate recommended that $24,000 be annually allocated to the bookstore reserve for expansion and that $20,000 be annually allocated for a working capital of $50,000 a year.
The Senate also recommended that at least $20,000 a year be allocated to the Urban Scholars Program for five years and provide books in bookstore student rebate be guaranteed.
The Senate recommended that any profits above the projected 1975 fiscal year level of $9,600 be apportioned on a 50-50 basis and distributed to the Program and the Bookstore Rebate Fund.

Worker Dissatisfied with Walkout
Kansan Staff Writer
By ROBERT E. DUNCAN
Civil service employees returned to work Wednesday, but at least one member of the union, Chief Steward Blanche Nitz, is working with the resolution to the walkout.
Nitz said that some employees had a "lack of confidence" in the union and this was perhaps the reason for the conclusion to the walkout.
"I'm rather disappointed with the whole thing," she said.
Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. said Wednesday that he would accept the modifications in his statement concerning work policies as recommended by University administrators who met with the union, Local 1132, Tuesday.
The modification included changing employee representation on a special subcommittee of the University safety committee from 30 per cent to 50 per cent.
There was also agreement to equitably rotate overtime work.
NITZ SAID employees really didn't gain anything from the walkout. She said that these changes were acceptable but that no resolution to the pay situation had occurred. The lack of a wage increase since 2014 was as the main complaint of union members.
Nitz's dissatisfaction with the union began last fall. She and Lloyd Rose, business agent for Local 1132, could not agree on several issues.
In January Nitz said she presented a list of 22 items she thought the union should do.
Some of the items were aimed at giving the union member a sense of the union, such as distributing copies of the by-laws, she said.
There was also a conflict between Nitz and Robert. It could not she could not labeled relation school.
Concerning the future of the union, Nitz said she expected membership to drop off
NITZ SAID the union members were sincere in their complaints about working conditions but some were worried about the possibility of losing their jobs.
Rice was unavailable for comment Wednesday. He said after the meeting Tuesday a "mutual understanding" about the situation had been reached between the two.
Nitz said indications that she would resign as chief steward. She said that if the union members were satisfied, then the union had accomplished a minor victory.
Members of the student-faculty committee who were supporting the strike are also unsure of their next step. One member all, they could do now is to "wait and see."
All civil service employees at the University will have an opportunity to elect an official representative later this semester. The manner of how the elections will be conducted is not known; answer to a letter sent by the University to the attorney general's office Monday.
Troop Removal Seen as Aid to U.S.-China Relations
Editor's Note: This is the first of three interviews with University of Kansas professors on the effects and implications of President Nixon's trip to China. Interviewed below is Daniel Bays, professor of history and China scholar.
Worsening relations between the People's Republic of China and the U.S.S.R., the United States' withdrawal from Vietnam and settling of internal debates in China following the cultural clash that erupted years ago reasons the U.S. found itself able to negotiate with the Chinese Communists, according to Daniel Bays, professor of history,

"As China came to develop a conflict of interests with the Soviet Union, it was only natural that they would look elsewhere for a way to balance the power," Bays said. "The logical place to look was the United States, and we wanted to establish contact with the U, S, throughout the 1960's because of American involvement in Southeast Asia."

Bays said Tuesday that one of the

the reason it was fighting there was to stop Chinese expansion.
Bays said that over the last two years the Chinese had begun to notice the U. S. pullout from Vietnam, and were now beginning to believe that President Nixon really intended to lessen the American presence in Southeast Asia.
"The Chinese feel differently about U.S. power in Asia now," Bays said. "The U.S. doesn't seem to be such a great encircling threat. It's not like the U.S. is pulling out of the Pacific, but rather that it is just backing away from the Chinese borders."
Bays said the solving of some of the problems brought about in China by the U.S. government were "unacceptable."

THE PERIOD FROM 1966 through 1969 or 1970 was a very disruptive one to the culture and politics of China," Bays said. "The cultural revolution really unsettled things. It is only now that we are beginning to debate, and this definitely helped in S-U. S., relations."
Bays said the most important thing to come from the Nixon trip to China included in the communique was the U.S. involvement, and we have all its troops from Nationalist China.
"The assertion made by the U. s. that it will soon remove its troops from Taiwan is extremely important," Bays said. "The U. s. has always been committed by both

something like cultural exchange or ping-pong."
Bays said the United States apparently had submitted to the wishes of the Chinese over the Taiwan issue. He said the whole tone of the meetings in China was one of the U.S. backing off from some of its past commitments.
"A pretty good case can be made that both the U. S. and China have taken some unrational positions in the past, and that now they must readjust," Bays said. "The side that is the furthest from reason has the furthest to so."
