StudEx OK's Register Plan
Student groups at the University of Kansas will no longer be recognized, only registered, after a proposal was approved Sunday night by the Student Executive Committee (StudEx) of the Student Senate.
The proposal that was passed unanimously by committee members present was a revised version of a statement proposed by Charles Oldbier, University attorney; and William Bafour, student at study affairs, at the F.13 StudiumX meeting.
Previously it was necessary for a group to be recognized before it could request support from the finance fundees. Now a group needs only register in the office of the vice-chancellor for student affairs and it may apply to the Finance and Auditing Committee of the college.
The main difference between the two statements is that the first proposal contained two clauses, one to define registered and one to define recognized student organizations, while the new clause instead reflects most of the second clause on recognition.
Senate approval of funds for a group will still depend on whether the senate believes the organization is asking for money for an animal, recreational or cultural program.
"What we are doing is turning down the rests. We're still letting them apply," said Dave Dillon, Hutchinson junior, in response to requests not suitable for use of activity fees.
The statement approved by StudEx is as follows:
1. Registered Student Organizations:
Any group of students may organize for any legal purpose and register the organization in the office of the vice-chancellor for student affairs. A registered student organization may apply for funding for those programs which are educational, recreational, or cultural. Organization is automatically funded by the office of the vice-chancellor for student affairs.

2. In no event will funding be granted to programs that do not fall within the program's budget.
'Scoop' Jackson Attacks Administration Policies
Says Phase III will be to phase out Nixon
Nixon's 'Mismanagement Top Issue, Jackson Says
By ROBIN JEAN GROOM Kansan Staff Writer
TOPEKA-Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash., candidate for the Democratic nomination for President, attacked the Nixon administration's stand on the economy, education, school busing and food safety. 28-a-plate Democratic fund-raising dinner
"The overriding issue of this campaign," Jackson said to a crowd of over 1,100 Democrats at the Washington Day Dinner, "is 'the gross mismanagement of the economy by the Nixon administration. Make no mistake about that."
He said he could sympatize with the Kansas wheat farmers because his state of Washington was second only to Kansas in growing, and he knew the farmer's problems.
"It's time for a decent program of parity for the farmer in America," he said.
"This nation would be money ahead" if the unemployed were directed into research and developmental projects, other projects and others and other such projects, Jackson said.
HE SAID that unemployment in America had reached 10 million and that the government should provide direct employment for those out of work.
"The American people won't buy and they won't invest because they lack confidence in this administration," Jackson said. "They've had Phase I and Phase II, but they've never been in which is phasing out the Nixx administration come November."
He said the American people had the highest level of savings since 1946.
He said that the United States had a deficit of over $40 billion, the largest ever and that all the Nixon administration had taken steps to make it more unemployment and more inflation.
HE SAID he was personally opposing basing put into effect solely to achieve a result.
"Congress must deal with the bitter and divisive busing controversy that is diverting us from the goal of providing for all our children," Jackson said.
He said that the Democratic Party could stand and wiliing buses issue an address roughly in a case-by-case basis.
case basis and that his proposed Constitutional amendment would affirm the right of parents to decide that their children would attend their neighborhood school.
"The amendment would also establish the right of every child to equal educational opportunity. It's high time to end a system that gives a rich child a better public education than a poor child. Why should a workingman have to leave his family in a rich neighborhood to get a decent education? That's just not right," he said.
'IT'S HIGH time we get on with the business of education,' said Jackson.
He said that during the last presidential campaign President Nixon had blamed Democratic administrations for rising crime rates.
he said that he introduced a bill in the Senate last week that would increase federal spending on education from 7 per cent to 33 per cent of the costs of elementary and secondary education over a 5 year period.
"In 1968, Mr. Nikson's first full year in office, violent crimes, which are murder, rage, robbery and assault, jumped 11 per cent. In 1970, his second year, violent crime increased by 12 per cent. In the first half of 1971, violent crime increased by 100 per cent according to FBI statistics released by the attorney general."
On the issue of crime Jackson said, "I have to up it to just the way Verma Hill has done."
JACKSON said that courts were clogged with untricted criminal cases and that months, often years, elapsed between the day of arrest and time of trial.
"the Constitution guarantees the right to a speedy trial," Jackson said. "Any person accused of a felony should be brought to trial within 60 days of his arrest."
Defendants were either put back on the streets or sent to jail because they could not afford bail.
He also said that it was in the national interest to impose conditions in penal punishment.
EIGHTY-FIVE OF the large penal institutions in American were built during the Civil War.
On the issues of defense, Jackson said
he had to 'maintain a credible defense post'
when he came in," Jackson said.
"When a man comes out of a penal institution he should be a better man than
He said he hoped the Strategic Arms Limitations Talks would succeed but said the United States could not negotiate a weak bargaining position at the talks.
'Basic Issue Is Time'
New Step Approved For KUMC Project
By ROBERT E. DUNCAN Kansan Staff Writer
The Kansas Board of Regents, upon recommendation of Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr., approved Friday a request that the building committee and the medical center committee be prepared to process the planning of construction for the basic nursing building and hospital addition at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Dr. William O. Rieke, vice-chancellor for medical affairs, said the basic issue is
time. It costs an additional $6.5 million every year the project is detained.
In the event it is determined feasible to issue revenue bonds for construction of the facility, the resolution passed by the Regents allows the chairman of the board to determine how to present the proposal to the legislature.
RIKEK SAID it was vital the legislature be approached this session to either approve the issuing of revenue bonds for the project or to allocate money to help
Winn Says Education Should Be 'Practical'
By RON WOMBLE Kansan Writer
The nation's colleges and universities are not giving students a broad enough education, marijuana should not be allowed in schools, the campaign will depend upon the Democrats. These were a few of the observations made by U. S. Rep. Larry Hogan.
Winn appeared on a question and answer show on KANU radio.
Winn said college education should
not be used to judge a student, not just
philosophy, not just book reviews.
He cited KANU as an example of practical experience.
Winn said professors and instructors who go into business for business before they leave.
"The Law School is an example," he said, "How many of those professors have taught us the rules?"
Winn pointed out that federal and state money already financed research grants and sabbaticals and a "part of the taxpayer's dollar could be used" to help pay for the experience the instructors would be required to get.
THE ISSUE will be controversial, Winn predicted, because professors and instructors are involved, but "i am more convinced now than ever before that professors should be required to go into business."
Winn's trip to Kansas was not to begin his campaign for re-election, he said. He does not expect to announce whether he is running until June.
The reason for the delay is the equal time law. Wim has both a weekly radio channel and a weekly telex channel.
explained that if he announced his candidacy earlier than June, opponents might be able to demand equal time on the radio and equal time in the newsmen's.
Winn does not expect the issues of the 1972 campaign to change much from recent years.
The 'issues will be basically the same issues' concerning the presidential administration.
WNN SAID the issues were "subject to change as we get closer to November," or to a large extent they would depend on the opponents.
"They're going to go to have after me," he said, "they'll have to challenge me on me."
Winn said he believed there had been a misunderstanding of the results of a presidential committee on drug abuse. He said that the committee had not advocated legalization of marijuana but had called for a ban, and less "sellers" and less severe penalties for users.
Winn said that he personally didn't approve of legalization of marijuana and that he did not believe that legalized it "approved" in Congress or by the people.
He said it was possible that a patient affected by positions held within the party, affected by positions held within the party.
He was referring to Sen. Robert Dole, Kan. He did think that Dole's performance as a Kansas senator had not seriously been questioned in the position of chairman of the Republican party.
"No doubt Dole can be re-elected in 1974." Winn said.
He added Dole had a tough job but he had a good staff and he was doing a good job.
Fraternity Pledges Pirate Members' Cars into TKE Dining Room
Bill Cohrs, Prairie Village freshman and Tau Kappa epsilon, surveys, prepares his fraternity's late night nack. The two cars, owned by TKE actives George Treu, St. Louis junior, and David Bessler, are parked in the room in registration for the members' failure to attend a rush
conference out of town. The two stayed in town, preferring to be with their girlfriends. To get the cars into the room, the members removed a window and sliding door frame from the rear of the building.
keep the planning effort alive
In other action the Regents approved a program suggested by the Council of Presidents for the granting of academic credit for foreign study.
This policy limits commercial
companies who sponsor tours or students
in their programs.
The new policy states that credit will only be given to programs which fall within the authorized courses of the institution and which are led by qualified teachers. It said the activity cannot be designed to produce a profit for any individual.
THE REGENTS also agreed to request from the legislature a supplemental appropriation to repair steam lines appropriate to Hatfield Hall Explosion earlier this month.
The board also heard discussion on the present status of retirement benefits provided by the state for the faculty at its institutions of higher education.
The request of $75,000 is an advance on a recommendation made by the Governor for the next fiscal year. If the appropriation is not granted work on the steam lines could not begin until midsummer.
The Regents approved a motion that faculty be permitted to withdraw up to 10 per cent of their accumulated retirement payments at the time they begin to receive their retirement annuity. The Regents heard President James McCain of Kansas uniformly describe how Kansas is behind other states in providing retirement benefits.
IN MANY STATES, McCain said, the common arrangement is for the state to assume two-thirds of the retirement payment and the individual one-third. In Kansas the state and the faculty member assume equal responsibility.
In other action the Regents approved the installation of air conditioning in the Law Library in Green Hall and the repair of the air conditioning unit in Sooner Library.
The Regents also approved the
unused storm drain near the KU
Printing Service.
2 Candidates Disqualified
Richard Dwyer, Jopin, Mio., senior and William Jacoby, Lawrence senior, have been disqualified as candidates for student body president and vice-president. R. L. Moore, associate electors graduate student and temporary elections committee chairman, said Sunday.
Dwyer and Jacoby were disqualified because they did not have the required 500 signatures to support their candidacy, Bailey said.
Bailey discovered the error Friday afternoon when he was checking the candidates' filing papers. Dwyer and Jacoby had filed with the impression they didn't need the signatures to support their declaration, he said.
Bailey assumed Bill O'Neill, Ballwin,
Mo., junior and student body treasurer,
had told Dwyer and Jacob they didn't
have to collect 500 signatures. He said
O'Neil officially accepted the filing
papers and fees.
Bailye gave Dwyer and Jacoby until 5 p.m. Tuesday to collect the required 500 signatures, because he thought O'Neill had made the mistake, he said.
Saturday Bailey learned that O'Neill hadn't told Dwyer and Jacoby that they wouldn't need 500 signatures to file their papers, he said.
Apparently some unauthorized person in the Student Senate office had told Dwyer he and Jacoby wouldn't need the 500 signatures.
As a result, Bailey decided Sunday that he would Dyer and Jacoby as candidates. he said
Dwyer said Sunday night he and Jacoby intended to get back on the ballot. Since they were informed of Bailey's Friday afternoon decision, the pair has collected 500 signatures in support of their candidacy.
Dwyer has seculded a meeting Monday with Dave Dysart, Lawrence law student and KU Ombudsman, to discuss the situation.
Dyer said he intended to take the case
to the University audiology, if necessary to
have a hearing exam.
"I'm kind of disappointed that I have to get back on the balloon," Dwayne Brown back on the ballot. "Dwayne
