StudEx Plan Could End Gays' Battle
By RON WOMBLE
Kansan Staff Writer
The proposal of the Student Executive Committee (StudEx) to change Student Senate policies for recognition of student groups could end the Gay Liberation Front's recognition but the recognition would have to be assured "what Gay Lab seeks is attainable."
Klunnett expressed the fear that the fact of a "matter of semantics rather than reality."
"We'd have to be awfully sure that that that, the attorney knott, attorney for the group, said Tuesday.
He said as an attorney he would like to see the district court's decision against Gay Lair overturned to "remove the precedent."

The group is fighting for "real issues" and not to prove a point, he said, so if those issues are solved there would be little reason to continue the fight.
A spokeswoman for Gay Lab said the issue status with other student organizations equals that with other student organizations.
Candidate for Student 'Body' President
He said the StudEx proposal could be something to stop them from taking their case against the University into a higher court.
Charles H. Oldfather, University attorney, said the StedEx proposal would have no effect upon the Gay Lab case. He added that "the tentative" and had not yet been written up.
Election Deadline Nears
BY JIM KENDELL Kansas Staff Writer
As of 5 p.m. Tuesday no candidates had filed for president and vice-president of the student body, according to Bill O'Neill, Ballinw, Mo., junior and treasurer of the student body. However, at least three teams are expected to file.
Thursday at 5 p.m. is the deadline for candidates to file a declaration of intent to run for student body president or vice-president.
Two candidates, both from Pearson College, have filed for student senate. No one has filed for any class office. The deadline for candidates to file for Student Senate and class offices is Wednesday, Feb. 23.
One team which is expected to file for president and vice-president Wednesday is David Dillon, Hutchinson junior, and Kate DeWitt, Hutchinson junior, made the announcement Tuesday evening.
ANOTHER TEAM composed of Joel Green, Rapid City S, D. sophomore, and Joel Payne, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, file day Wednesday.
Green and Payne are now collecting signatures on petitions which will allow them to be late Tuesday afternoon and the deadline about half of the required 500 signatures.
A third team composed of Joe Landolt, Kirkwood, Mo., junior, and Mike Schoenle伯, Wichita, sophomore is expected to test Thursday.
Early Tuesday evening Landolt said the team had collected several hundred
signatures. Landolt and Schoenleber are running on the Birthday Party ticket.
LANDLOT SAID. "We're trying to make a flap of the election. We want to show that student government is ineffective, that the school is run by the chancellor, the Board of Regents and the legislature, which holds the purse strings."
Another student senator has picked up a declaration of intent, but has not definitely decided to file. He is Les Schwartz, Overland Park junior.
There are currently 91 student senators.
Each senator represents 200 students.
Though only two candidates have filed for Student Senate, Benedict Palen, Lawrence freshman, and Donald Cromn, Sioux Falls, S. D., sophomore, O'Neill expects a good number of candidates to file for Student Senate.
R. L. "Puff" Bailey, Atchison graduate student and temporary elections committee chairman, said Tuesday he was interested that there would be in the new Student Senate.

Successor Named
Mitchell Quits Post To Lead Campaign
WASHINGTON (AP) - John N. Mitchell resigned as attorney general Tuesday to take command of President Nixon's reelection campaign. Nixon quickly named his deputy, Indemnist, deputy attorney general and Mitchell's personal choice, for the cabinet post.
Senate liberals promised close questioning of Kleinian, an Arizona conservative, but early indications were that his nomination as the President's top legal adviser would gain Senate confirmation.
Mitchell, one of Nixon's closest personal and political advisers, managed his 1968 campaign. His resignation to direct the 1972 effort had been expected for months, apparently was delayed by debate within the administration about his successor.
THE PIPE-SMOKING, taciturn Mitchell was reported to have insisted that Kleindienst get the job, while other administration officials feared that his nomination would touch off a Senate donnybrook.
Ryun to Return to KU For Olympic Training
Jim Ryun is moving his Olympic training camp to Lawrence next week.
Ryun told the University Daily Kansas this morning that he was not satisfied with his progress and that he wanted to be moved to Bob Timmons, KU head track coach.
"Trimmy has been coaching me by mail and by phone," Ryun said, "but I need to go in."
Timmons was enthusiastic about the move.
Timmons was Ryun's coach in high school at Wichita East when Ryun went to the Olympics in Tokyo in 1964. He also coached him during his entire career at KU. Between 1964 and 1968, when he went to the Olympics in Mexico City, Ryun set world records that still stand in the mile, 1500 meters and half-mile.
"I think it's a great idea," he said. "It will be good for Jim and good for KU."
Ryun is expected to arrive in Lawrence on Sunday. He has obtained leave of absence from his employer, Raytheon Industries in Golsta, Calif., until after the graduation in August, if necessary. The Olympic trials are in early July in Eugene, Ore.
A year after the Mexico City Olympics, in which he finished second to Kip Keino in
the 1500 meters in high attitude, Ryun hung up his spikes for a year to complete his degree program in journalism at KU. He then started training for the Munich Olympics, first in Topeka, then in Eugene, where he encountered allergy problems with Willamette Valley pollen. He moved to California last, August, but his arteries have been spotted. He beat Keno over a mile in slow time but finished sixth in a seven-man mile three weeks later in even slower time.
"That's why I'm moving to Lawrence and to Coach Timmons."
"I'm not happy with the performance indoors," he said. "I didn't run as well as I thought I would and I need a change in my training program.
But the Senate liberals who planned close questioning of Kliendienst at his confirmation hearings, scheduled to begin Feb. 22, said Senate approval was likely
The indoor season is over for Ryun. His next race will be March 4 in the Los Angeles Coliseum against Marty Loriqi, America's N. 2. miler. Liquori, Keino and Ryun are expected to meet in the mile at the KU Relays April 22.
Sen. James O. Eastland, D-Miss., a conservative who heads the Judiciary Committee which will examine the nomination, said Kleiendt had been a great deputy attorney general and will be a worthy successor to Mitchell.
HOWEVER, Sen. Charles Mathias of Maryland, rated among the more liberal Republican senators, told a reporter that he believed he would make a strong fight against the nomination.
Perhaps more significantly, Sen. Philip A. Hart, D-Mich., one of the more liberal members of the committee, said "If the President says he needs him, the Senate should go ahead without it unless the nominee is made public and there are no moral defects in Richard Kleinstadt."
He said he had been told two weeks ago, when the nomination was being predicted, that it would be delayed.
As he announced his plans to promote Kleindienst, Nixon also disclosed that he intended to nominate Louis Patrick Gray III, now an assistant attorney general, to the No. 2 Justice Department post being vacated by Kleindienst.
Gray, 55, was on Nixon's staff when he was vice-president and later served as executive assistant to Robert Finch, then secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, before joining the Justice Department in December 1970.
Kleindienst expressed gratification at his appointment and described Mitchell as "a very wonderful colleague."
Mitchell gave Nixon a hand-written letter of resignation Monday, and the President responded Tuesday with a four-paragraph letter saying he accepted his position. He also called the utmost regret—but a regret compensated by a sense of personal and heartfelt gratitude on behalf of myself and all Americans."
Controversial City Annex Approved
Kansan Staff Writer
Rv MARK REDNER
Over the heated protests of residents of the area, the Lawrence City Commission voted unanimously Tuesday to annex 1,780 acres of land northwest of the city.
In a statement released at the commission meeting the city commissioners said they believed the area should be for the future development of Lawrence.
The commissioners said the area was developing rapidly as an industrial park, and the area would be a new
Russian Translator at UN Held for Espionage Plot
NEW YORK (AP)—A Russian translator at the United Nations was arranged Tuesday on charges of trying to insult the lans of the Navy's new F14 Fighter plane.
Valery Ivanovich Markelov, 32, a translator of scientific and technical documents for almost five years, was held in the United States by a bearing for bond reduction Wednesday.
Markelov, chunky and of medium height, was arrested by the FBI Monday night at a restaurant where he allegedly received classified documents from an unidentified Grumman Aerospace engineer as an undercover agent for the FBI.
The arrangement proceeding was adjourned until Wednesday to a lawyer in Brooklyn.
Grumman is building prototypes of the plane.
U.N. Secretary-General Kurt suspended
without pay pending the outcough of
the country.
Mar'elov's wife, and 11-year-old daughter were at home in the family's kitchen. They lived in Manhattan's Upper west side, where neighbors described the three as quiet people who minded their own business. About 25 Russian families lived in the hotel.
The Soviet citizen, appearing before U. A. Magistrate Max Schifflman in Brooklyn, was arrested on charges of
questions until advised by Soviet Consul Leonid V. Scharbakov to cooperate.
The FBI announcement said Markelov "presidently requested confidential information" about the FHA and supplied the engineer with a portable copying machine and a 35mm camera to copy documents.
Markelov, whose five-year contract with the United Nations was to expire Nov. 13, was said to earn between $10,000 and $24,000 a year.
"piecemel." To insure the future development of the area the commission said it was desirable that the land be platted and that other planning for roads, sewer lines and transportation systems come under the control of the city.
"We recognize there are many differences of opinion on this subject, but we hope that any decision made by the City Commission will prove to be one of great benefit to the city in the long-range future," the commission said.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said in Washington Markelov had 11 meetings starting in 1970 with the engineer, whom he had to identify, at restaurants in this area.
GEORGE ALLEN, attorney for the residents, said the annexation was an unannounced move. He said the commission took the action to annex not properly forewarning the residents. Allen said that as a result many of the residents "would be deprived of their livelihood."
"It will be a long time before these people receive any benefit from the city," Allen said.
The FBI said that on many occasions, the Russian gave the engineer money which the American then turned over to the FBI.
"You annex land for industrial planning now, and you'll have to annex more later to get the land." She said. "Pretty soon this whole area will be one huge urban mess. There will be no place for people to get away from it all. I need that we need to attract more industry."
Following Allen's statement many of the residents voiced their protests to the assembly.
BOB WOOTEN, another of the area residents, said a decrease in taxes would
adjust family income.
Johnson Shockley, one of the residents,
said the annexation was "one vicious cath-
lism."
Officials from the Kansas Power ane Light generating plant, which is in the area to be annexed, spoke of the extra power needed by the plant to Lawrence area if the land would be annexed.
Purdue read an editorial from the Salina Journal that said the annexation should be paid for by the residents of Lawrence and customers of KPL serves the throughout the state.
W. L. Purdue, a vice-president for KPL,
said the additional taxes which the
company would incur from the annexation
would have to be recovered.
customers outside the Lawrence area would assess them for the generation of the generation.
"The only way we can recover the cost of the additional taxes is through a surcharge on gasoline."
AFTER PURDUE finished,
Commissioner Nancy Hambleton moved that the motion to annex be approved, with the stipulation that it not be published until December 1973. By delaying the date of publication, and the subsequent first tax payment date, the commissioners were residents and the companies prior to plan.
"It constitutes an effort on the part of the commission to make a compromise to the people affected by the annexation." Commissioner Jack Rose said. "It is an attempt to make the move a little more palatable."
WASHINGTON (AP) -The nation's largest manufacturer of diesel engines, Cummins Engine Co. of Columbus, Ind., already meets proposed federal antipollution standards the effective date of which has been delayed for a year.
U.S. Diesel Manufacturer Meets Antipollution Rules
When the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) first proposed the standards last fall, Dr. Curranius was asked what he meant by "died," said Dan McConnell of the Indiana firm.
"All the known standards for 1973 we've already met," McConnell said.
The EPA's deputy administrator, Robert Friit, made no mention of them when he announced last weekend that the agency had made a false start and had become convinced that it should alter the proposed standards. He said it would later announce revised standards for 1974 model heavy duty vehicles.
General Motors, the second-largest maker of diesels, "told the government that all of our engines would meet the standards on the day they were implemented," said George Hanley, an engineer on GM's environmental action staff.
Hanley said that GM objected, however.

Cummins makes about 43 per cent of the diesel engines used in over-the-road semitrailer trucks in the United States. General Motors claims about 35 per cent of the markets.
When and EPA spokesman was told that Cummins had already met the proposed standards 10 months ahead of schedule he relied, "That's right."
But he said there was a "lack of time for some manufacturers to meet the standards" originally proposed to go into diesel fuel for diesel engines beginning about Jan. 1, 1973.
The EPA spokesman also said the regulations were only proposed standards. "Until a regulation is promulgated, it doesn't mean anything," he said.
EPA proposed nationwide air pollution standards for heavy-duty vehicles for the first time last October to curb emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides in diesel engines. They will require that new engines, although the standards would be somewhat different because of the differences in the two types of engines.
