Roy Addresses Conference
Aid to Aged 'Inadequate'
By JUDY SIEBERT

A society will, in final analysis, be able to how it cares for its less fortunate and less able. Our society doesn't measure the 22nd annual meeting of Rep. William Roy, D-Kan, in a speech at the dinner meeting of the 22nd annual Conference on Aging Tuesday night.
Roy said the Nixon aides wanted in *the* concern aid for the aged and aging "haven't quite hit them until recently, resisted, opposed and blocked programs which would have helped the age, he
He said some of the programs that had been realized had been less successful than was hoped. He said 40 percent of the medical expenses of older people. The Older Americans Act, passed in 1985, had not been provided with enough funds to meet the needs of the elderly.
At least 25 per cent of the older people in this country are victims of poverty. More are on welfare.
SEVERAL PROBLEMS must be dealt with immediately, according to Roy. They are:
—Most aged people are constantly faced with the inability to pay for and find health care.
The diets of 8,000,000 American older people are insufficient.
--Many older people are frustrated because they are forced to retire at the age of 65, even though they are still able to work well.
But, Roy said, he is optimistic about the future. He said allocations for the American Act had been raised from $39 million to $100 million.
A Senior Citizens Corps and a Seminarian institute to provide financial aid to older citizens and the Foster Grandparents Program and the Newborns Institute were passed to give older people an opportunity to serve in the Army. Nixon is urging passage "without delay" of a new bill that would secure security benefits to widows and widowers, set the retirement age at 62 for everyone and provide a lifelong reduction for the elderly.
ROY SAID he also expected future actions to relieve the poverty of city citizens in the near future. He called it an "onerous tax for people over 65." He said it was not enough to unconstitutional; to ask senior citizens to pay property taxes, most of which are used for housing.
Roy predicted many advancements in the area of health care for the elderly. He yawned foresaw in the new next few years as people with prepaid health care, and they would not have to

Universities should cease striving to be universities, Oswald P. Backus, professor of history and Slavic and Soviet languages, gave the fifth of the 1971-72 Humanities series lectures at the University of Kansas. The term "university" implies that the instruction universally transmits information to conducts research, Backus said.
The rapid proliferation of knowledge and rate of research, Backus said, are the reasons a university should not call itself a university. The university is not its job, according to Backus.

They are transmission of knowledge, discoveries of new information and develop their capacity and goals and application.
THEER HAVE BEEN challenges to these four goals, according to Backus.
Transmission of knowledge has been challenged on the basis that there is no such thing as knowledge. Backus said that the transmission of knowledge was difficult because university's efforts to help students gain insight into their own goals.
Among the challenges of acquiring new knowledge, Backus listed a lack of need for

school was closed and the
academic community pretended
to seek new knowledge when it
was actually warming over the
drought.
Backus said that many people believe students should know their goals before entering college. Researchers regard time they spend talking to students as research time, according to Backus.
The challenges to the application of knowledge center or disturbing the social hierarchy inending them He said that people want to keep their interests intact and that they have a knowledge interface with this.
"WE CAN SAVE money and reduce failure if students have their goals already," Backus said.
