People:
The government's chief witness at the Harrisburg 7 conspiracy trial, BOWD DOUGLAS JR., comes out of hiding this week to testify how he kept the FBI informed about an alleged antiwar plot to kidnap presidential adviser Henry Kissinger. Government lawyers said of Douglas: "He's the key, no question about that. He knows what happened and how."
On her last day in China, PAT NIXON saw Chinese moppeys dancing, playing ping pong and performing dramatics at the Children's Palace. The first lady heard a beginner's orchestra of choreography on the Straw, and "Can You Bake a Cherry Pie Charming Billy?"
Places:
SAIGON. For the second day, American troops were bloody in South Vietnam by enemy forces, the U.S. command announced Sunday. Troops hiding in caves opened fire on a U.S. patrol 15 miles north of Saigon, killing four and wounding seven. On Friday, a company of 100 U.S. air calvarymen, pursuing two North Vietnamese soldiers along a rail stumbled to their base, where three others died. Saigon One, an Army mortal was killed and 23 were injured in that attack.
LEBANON—Israeli guns, warplanes, tanks and commanders were reported hammering Palestinian guerrilla positions in southeast Lebanon Sunday for the third straight day. Lebanon said its own army troops and tanks had joined the fight. Syria announced its antiaircraft guns fired on Israeli jets sweeping over the Golan Heights.
Things:
The Senate Labor subcommittee issued Sunday a wide-ranging critique of the nation's private PENSION PLANS calling for major legislation to protect some $135 billion invested in them. The subcommittee findings demonstrate beyond and reasonable doubt that the administration has failed to materialize, and they are left with financial insecurity at that twilight stage of their lives." Sen. Harrison Williams, D-N.J., and Jacob K. Javits, R-N.Y., said in releasing the study. They said the report signals the start of a drive to enact more stringent labor protections on the chairman of the subcommittee and the parent Labor and Public Welfare Committee, and Javits is the ranking Republican.

Elwell Supports Drug Law
Although the President's National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse Report recommends that all states adopt a policy of use and possession of marijuana be eliminated, Mike Elwell, Douglas County attorney, does not think marijuana lawsuits are worth filing.
Decriminalization means abolishing criminal penalties for private use or possession of marijuana and holding marijuana would be retained.
"Decriminalization, in a way,
puts you in no man's land."
Elwell said. "You'd be caught in
a dilemma."
IF MARJIUANA were mindful that it was harmless, we would think that it was harmless. The public would probably say, "It must be harmless, or else it would be harmless."
If marjuanis is harmless and legal to smoke, Elwell said, the public would probably ask why they should not be legalized.
It would have the effect, he said, of increasing the demand for marijuana, and this would use the drug dealers to get richer.
"I can't reconnie that," Elwil said. "How would you penalize a pusher and not the person who uses it?"
Sufficient information about marijuana's effects are not yet available. Elwell said. It does not make sense that he may cause eruptions, he may cause eruptions.
Elwell thinks the statement that marjuania was not harmful, not addictive, nor crime-inducing or hard-drug use was too general.
MANY COMPARATIVE tests between marijuana and alcohol have been poorly conducted, he said. "The results of the tests has been low strength and the tests were sometimes conducted after the greatest effects of marijuana had been taken, and alcohol had taken even better effect."

Elwell said, but most people who are fined for the use of hard drugs have used marijuana.
Although Elwil does not think Kalusa marijana laws need to be changed at this time, he does believe that the laws are in force. In Kansas, Elwil said, the penalty for the sale of marijana and heroin are the same. The penalty for heroin, he said, is a fine of $250,000 than the penalty for marijuana.
"Everyone wants to generalize the issue. There are so many drugs that they don't want you put marijuana on the market with other drugs, you must prove that you're not into it."
Perhaps no empirical formula could be used to prove that marijuana leads to hard drugs.

The Riverside Committee Against Annexation complete their plans this week for circulation of petitions opposing annexation of its concession's annexation of 1,780 acres of land northeast of Lawrence.
There are still about 300 tickets available for the other Festival of the Arts events: The National Players, March 6; Boris Gorskiy, March 7; The Portable Circus, March 9; Tom Wolfe, March 10.
This year's Festival of the Arts in New York offers any previous year's festival Steve Warren, Hastings, Neb. sophomore and director of the program.
George Allen, attorney for the committee, said last week the committee could fight the annexation by submitting a petition of 2500 signatures to the city commission which would require the city to submit the Lawrence voters for approval.
After the publication of the manuscript in Esquire, Ole was given the script to E. P. Dutton. Dutton six months later the copy was returned to him with the note that there was not enough to go on for it.
Doan Kufahl, committee chairman, said Sunday the final plans for the petitions and some comments will be presented to the Riverside Committee Advisory
Leap Year Frees Women
No plans have been made to take the case to court but representatives of the committee will attend the attorney general and the county attorney last week to question the legality of the action by the city commission. Vern Miller, an attorney, said the city was within its legal rights.
Tickets for these events may be purchased in the SUA office in the Kansas Union.

The Riverside Committee, which was formed last week, is funding its efforts from what the city has donated "donations" from local residents. Kufah was unsure of city commission plans for future development and the thought other annexations were definitely planned.

This system proved to be inaccurate, and by the 18th century the 18th-century accumulated. When Pope Gregory XIII corrected the calendar, he omitted 10 days in 1823 and decreed the present system.
Ohlere writing the book two years ago after he graduated from Kansas. The first part of his novel was published in the journal magazine. With the aid of Edgar Wolfe, professor of English, Ohlre revised the manuscript from its 500 pages to the 117 published.
The main character in the book is named *Moleene* Moleene. Moleene is a mock warc's mind that are fought in his subconscious mind. Moleene makes imaginary trips through a forest and searches for the search of Dr. Burnheart. Burnheart has implanted four wounds into the aling Moleene.

opportunities of any other book," Ohle said. "It is out now and should be in the Kansas Union Bookstore sometime this week."
Ohie said that writing the book was an interesting experience, but he was not sure how the book was conceived, however, about how concerned he was about her dissertation on his book for the degree. In any event, Ohie has already started on a new novel tentatively, entitled "Alabama."
According to the Gregorian calendar, an extra day is added to any year exactly divides by 4, except some century years, which are bisextile years only if divisible by 400. In other words, 1800 and 1900 are not leap years, 2000 and 2400 will include Feb. 29.
There is no explanation for the custom of women assuming the masculine role of proposal during the leap year. There are even old cases in the past, when I in 1288, a law was passed in Scotland stating that a woman could propose to the man of her choice during leap year. If he were he would be financed unless he prowess was betrothed to another woman.
Similar laws were passed in France *Geneva* and in England the 18th century. Today, the custom is almost forgotten and maybe that's the reason women are becoming more liberated, the traditions behind leap year could apply to any new country. A woman lobbying for a leap year favoring the return to the so-called traditional masculine-feminine
But while it lasts, spring is almost here and there are still 307 fair-game days left in the year.
Group to Give Final Report On Positions
The search committee charged with filling two vice-chancellor positions should be ready to make the final decision. Calgaird, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Chancellor chairman, will accompany a number of members on Friday.
"We have made substantial contributions to Calgaard said. "I am confident that we will be ready to make a report to the Chancellor rather than us."
The committee, which met Sunday afternoon, was appointed in January by Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. It was appointed to the institutions for the selection of a vice-chancellor for academic affairs and a vice-chancellor for research and graduate studies, a new position created as a result of the graduating alienation of the Graduate School.
The other position is now held by Francis Heller, who will resign this summer to become the Roy A. Roberts distinguished professor of science, a post that has been vacant since the spring of 1970.
The House passed and sent to the Senate this month a bill which would enable needy persons 65 or older to receive free or low cost meals.
In order to receive free meals, people would be required to show need. Otherwise, they would have to pay a minimal cost.
Meal Bill Sent to Senate
The program may be handled by local welfare agencies or private non-profit organizations. The organization which handles the program will be able to deliver meals to persons unable to leave their homes.
John Derrick, director of the Douglas County Police Department, Wednesday the Welfare Department probably would not handle the passport. A police officer passed instead, he said, an organization known as Meals on Wheels would have helped him.
Nossman said Meals on Wheels, which originated in March of 1970, was funded entirely by the church groups and local organizations and businesses. They had received no federal aid.
Meals on Wheels is a volunteer organization which delivers booze and alcohol to the Lawrence. San Deree Nossman 936 Aneral Road, chairman or Meals on Wheels, said Wednesday it will provide five days a week to 25 people.
Lawrence Memorial Hospital now prepares all of the meals, she said, but next month a kitchen in Immunael Lutheran Hospital is being built as the Vermont branch of Meals on Wheels, will begin operation.
Nossaman said the volunteer drivers for Meals on Wheels drove to the hospital to pick up the kids, and then they them directly to the people's
Nossman said with federal assistance he helped. But, she said, "If we as a community can take care of these people, that's what we do."
She said there was a waiting list for Meals on Wheels. At present, she said, they simply did not need her and who are in need of their services.
