Prof Cautions Viewers of China Trip
Editor's Note: This is the final story in a three-part series dealing with the opinions of KU faculty members and students on the effects of Nixon's trip to China Feb. 21 to 28.
By PAUL SWEARINGEN Kansan Staff Writer
Felix Moso, professor of East Asian Studies, is cautiously optimistic about the outcome of President Nixon's journey to the People's Republic of China, but he offers this advice to errcmarcher who views proceeding via satellite on TV: "Watch the television . . . and think about what you are seeing!"
"People should not expect any important, drastic changes in our relations with the People's Republic of China as a result of Nixon's trip," he said. "In general the trip serves at least to open some channels of communication at a glance and will be useful to both sides. But the trip will not be a panacea for all problems."
THE TRIP would have some
threats效应 upon the smaller Asian
countries, Malaysia.
"It may be that in a number of Asian countries, such as Korea, the trip may be intended to help States to weaken its commitment to Asian countries, to lessen its presence," he said. Korea has responded to the announcement of the measures declaring a state of national emergency.
"The South Koreans naturally are much closer to the threat of North Korea than the U. S. and they naturally feel much more direct involvement and much more danger from the apparent reduction of the U. S. presence in Asia. And definitely the bargaining power of the Nationalist Chinese will be somewhat weakened."
MOOS LIKENED the possible results of the Nixon trip to China to the ripples from the North Atlantic.
Moos said, "We have to observe closely a whole spectrum of waves to judge what is going on."
THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS of China would be affected by the U. S.-Peking thaw, but the basic objectives of the people's Republic would not change, Moos said.
"The Chinese will start seeing that the U. S. is not a paper tiger," he said. "Chinese in positions of power will gain a new appreciation of the United States"
ability to exist longer than they had expected."
Moss was cautious about the objectives of the Chinese inviting Nixon to Peking.
"The Chinese will open other lines of communication," he said. "if it furtherizes their cause. I don't think that the People's Republic has given up the ideas of revolution and wars of liberation. Their policies have changed but their strategy has not."
"IN THE NEGOTIATIONS the Chinese will be most polite, correct, and efficient. They will be putting on their best show for the camera, and we will see exactly what
they want us to see. I have fervent hope for a less naive American public but I am not reasonably convinced that the naivete will disappear."
What advice would Dr. Moes give to American Maoists?
'u abuse them to proceed to the People's Republic by the most expedient and effective means available to them and see Communism in practice.'
And what if they have problems in entering the country?
"Surley since the Chinese believe in the brotherhood of the revolution they will all be ready to fight against the invaders."

Sisters Explain Stance at Forum
Fielding questions from an audience of more than 100 persons, the February Sisters of the University of Kansas explained their actions and goals in a
public meeting. Monday night in the
Javhawk Room of the Kansas Union.
The major portion of the meeting was devoted to discussing concrete action that has occurred concerning February Sister Anne's visit and women's health center and the creation of
Lon Nol Denounces Firing On Mythical Lunar Beast
City-to-Campus Buses Resume, Charge $.25
PHOM PENN (AP) – Premier Lon Nor sailed Cambodia soldiers who shot up a mythical monster they believed was devouring the moon during a recent earthquake was so much ammunition the trump might have run short in case of attack.
Gary Jacobs, Merriam sophomore and chairman of the Student Transportation Commission, said buses would run from the campus to the downtown area three times an hour and would have a 25-cent fare.
Bus service from the University of Kansas campus to the downtown area began Monday in hopes of making a permanent and self-supporting system.
The Student Executive Committee approved Sunday night a two-point plan to provide Dane Ogle, of the bus company that power to increase or decrease the bus
Jacobs said the action was part of a plan to make the bus service self-sufficient past March 17 when the Student Senate bus subsidy ends.
The Lawrence Bus Co. originally decided to end service on the last day of classes of the fall semester, but an appropriation of $18,148 by the Student Services Center is the system to be continued during finals last semester and from Jan. 17 to March 17.
service offered students because of weather or other factors.
Ogle can also regulate the hours of service offered by the system according to student use, but the number of hours for more than 55 or less than 34 hours a week.
At the time the senate appropriated the money the fare was reduced from 20 cents to 10 cents, and a committee was set up to extend the fee of extending the service past March 17.
The marshal, who doubles as commander in chief of the Cambodian army, navy and air force, described the hour-long shootout on Jan. 30 as an ill-timed attack and threatened to court-martial officers and men who go on such shooting sprees.
In an angry radio speech to troops over the weekend, Lon Nol said the fusillade which lit up the night sky过 Phnom Penh to face cancer bullets, took 2 lives and wounded 8.
The soldiers were trying to drive away Reahou, a legendary monster who is a malevolent brother to the sun and the moon. Tradition teaches that only by crossing the moonlight Reahou from gobbling up the moon during the eclipse, darkening their nights forever.
It cost Cambodia millions of reels worth of ammunition, the marshal said, and was a "serious blot on the honor of the Khmer Republic."
For the average Cambodian soldier,
Reahub surpasses myth. Fabulous beasts
and monsters from ancient Khmer folk
legends are as real to him as the cattle
wandering placidly through downtown
Phnom Penh.
Omens and oracles play an important part in decision making for many Cambodians. Lon Nol himself frequently uses the advice of seers and other natives.
A spokesman for the child day care committee, who refused to be identified, revealed tentative plans for a facility to be located in the anthropology bone lab, the chancellor's guest house or the Sudlow house garage.
an Affirmative Action Program for women.
Lon Nol once used an oracle to incite Cambodians to overcome their ingrained Buddhist respect for sanctity of human life to fight the enemy from North Vietnam.
SHE SAID the temporary center would be designed to care for children ranging from one month to five years old, but older children could also have a child they would create a hardship for the family involved. The plans call for the center to open weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:45 p.m., and 7:00 to 10:15 p.m. weekly with children aged 2:30 to 6:00 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
The women also emphasized that the money demanded from the Student Senate for the enactment of the center was only an emergency measure and that the February Sisters hoped to place the faculty at the permanent University held in July.
WHEN ASKED how the center would be staffed, she replied that the Sisters were asking $300 a month in their proposed budget to hire a coordinator for the temporary center but that she was the manager of the manager of the operation would be manned.
distinguishing. I don't have an sense of responsibility to my students or supervisors
She also said the center would be utilized by faculty wives, University civil servants.
Susan Lominska, Sayville, N. Y., sophomore, discussed the February Sisters' second major demand, a women's health program.
IN ADDITION to demands for free Pap smears, pelvic examinations and ready birth control information and devices given by a gynecologist, she said they advocated that student health centers provide maternity benefits for all women regardless of marital status.
Lominska also said the February Sisters demanded a voice on the policy making board of Watkins Hospital, and coordinating care for all women who use the health center.
"i and many others will leave if the University of Kansas doesn't recognize that I can stay on a 5 per cent raise. I will go and anywhere as long as I give what I think it will."
Farrell was referring to a 5.1 per cent increase in faculty salaries recommended by Governor Docking in his recent budget message.
Lornsaka said that while they hoped a sympathetic doctor would help, the women's health was not

Farrell said, "This university is insulting me every day I stay here. I'm thinking of how to meet my bills instead of how to teach my students.
A faculty member of the School of Engineering expressed concern that the faculty was losing the unusual concern and dedication that characterized KU faculty.
He said that more and more faculty members feel forced to take on consulting jobs to increase their income. This hurts the over-all quality of education, he said.
Dale Scannell, dean of the School of Education, asked the committee members what they would like to hear when he spoke. The committee also asked the Education Committee Thursday in Toneka.
SCANNELL WILL TESTIFY against the bill introduced recently by Rep. Bert Chaney, D-Hutchinson, which would establish a school of Education beginned in 1973.
Weaver said that he thought the main purpose of the Chaney will was to get dialogue going between the legislature and the state's schools of higher education.
Students Concerned about Higher Education in Kansas was also well represented at the meeting. The group of student concern about higher education.
Rusty Leffel, Prairie Village law student and a member of the group, said, "We made no organized effort to appear, but many of our members are here."
One of the students' primary concerns was the declining quality of KU's faculty, several students said. They said that this was a direct result of relatively low faculty
salaries.
The legislators acknowledged student and faculty concern, but at the same time they pointed out the problems which the legislature must confront.
STUDENTS POINTED to the loss of the dean of the Law School, two law professors and a music theory professor as examples of faculty turnover caused by low salaries. One law student said that he was frustrated with the new 28th in the nation. It is now ranked 106th.
Weaver said, "We're going to have to raise at least $30 million to stay even." Many times Dyck asked, "Where do we get the money?"
"The taxpayer is saying, 'No more! We've got all we can carry.' Dyck said. He did not want to be accused, particularly the KU image made it difficult for legislators to advocate for him."
