Hall Committee Considers Work
By GARY NEIL PETERSON Kansan Staff Writer
A preparatory and informational meeting of the 21-member Ellsworth Hall contract committee night with David Dysart, Lawrence third-year law student and mediator in the residence hall.
The group met for the first time to acquaint themselves with the complexities of the upcoming negotiations.
Dysart, KU ambudsman, spoke to the group and said the group could conceivably affect conducive living in residence halls at KU and the residence hall at KU for the next five years.
The review board sometimes Tuesday or Wednesday of next week will get from the housing department to explain social policy to be implemented next fall, the proposed new contract, the information packet on residence halls being mailed to men's colleges and universities, information and oral inputs from representatives of the dean of men's and the dean of women's offices. They then will discuss the changes with men's meetings. Dyart asked two meetings.
Mier a personal review the members will meet with Dysart and his teacher to learn and what the official stand of the group should be. Then from the 21 persons five will be selected to present this view to Mier.
Following these meetings the review committee members will meet to discuss an idea individually to formulate an idea of what is involved in the social services system.
It is hoped that a unanimous agreement of the 10 people involved will be reached, according to Dvsart.
Dysart said there probably would not be an actual vote by the
parties but rather a negotiated settlement in which both sides would be happy.
Because the controversy arose over the policy changes for Ellsworth Hall next year, Donald Browne, the chairwoman member of the administrative board, requested that there be a suspension of the police from the people seeking information about housing at KU since changes would later appear in the in-house meeting that started last Wednesday at the dean of men's office and will continue to and a settlement have occurred.
EMILY TAYLOR, dean of women and member of the administrative housing board, said last night that she had not requested that such a suspension be made. But that it was possible one had been
Dysart said, "If she is accepting applications as a result of information mailed out, then she's in trouble; i.e., if she's sending a letter back to these companies and is sending in a space form for residence, then she's in trouble."
A legal question arises then. Dysart used the example that a student must come to KU next year. This student hypothesis relies on the validity of the letter sent to the student down a scholarship to Manhattan to take advantage of the aid. The student he then finds out that no such program will exist. litigation against the University is
It is only a letter, but it's stated as official policy," Dysart said. "If it's changed on him, then he can sue the university."
one person present said Taylor had not accepted any applications.
Thomas also confirmed the plans of the Building and Grounds department to landscape the general area between Flint, Bolley and Wescoe Hills in construction of Wescoe is completed.
Thomas said that only trees suffering from Dutch Elm disease had been removed from the garden. The supervisor, a guardian, supervisor of grounds and landscaping, said these trees were removed early last fall, and a few trees on the actual site of the building had been removed.
"We have records which list the removal of every tree from the campus going back for years." Blieth said.
THOMAS OUTLINED a plan for the eventual planting of a variety of trees near Jayhawk Boulevard. At the west end of the street a massive planting will produce a "runned effect." The plants will be placed at least be more of an open area, containing smaller flowering trees.
Large trees will be plantes between Bailey and Strong Halls and flowering trees will be planted to produce a "commons" effect in the present construction film Bailey and Wesele Hills.
Thomas said no money was available now for tree planting.
"The money we receive for the planting of trees comes to us in the form of gifts from private citizens, he said.
VVAW Chapter Objects To Nixon's War Policy
The Lawrence Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VWAV) is one group little impressed by President Nikon's successes on his Vietnam peace plan discussed in secret talks with Hadi.
Byd Edmondson, Lanham,
Md junior, and president of the
Lawrence chapter said Tuesday,
"I'm grateful for the things
things secret from the people."
"In spite of everything the war is going on," he said.
Edmondson spoke of two additional VVAW objections to
Nixon's war policy. They were that America would continue to support the South Vietnamese even if all troops were pulled out by the November election. The war would still be a burden on the South Vietnamese, and the timing of the peace proposal was based on political expediency.

Decking recommended the legislature appropriate $9.9 million to support the current fiscal year to fund the medical program and restore cuts made in assistance to the elderly, blind and the handicapped.

Welfare Focus On Cable TV
The Emergency Service Council has prepared a series of television programs entitled "Focus on Welfare - Six Views" and "Wednesday at the Wednesdays for the next six weeks on Channel 6 (cable TV). The programs will be live and provisions have been made to allow viewers to call in with questions during the hour-long programs.
The first program to be introduced here is "View and the Welfare-Poor Facts" and the Hidden Facts. Other programs in the series are: "Welfare and the Legislature" "Poverty in our Nation" "The Other Problems." "Citizens Helping Citizens: Opportunities and the Future of Welfare."

The Kansas Bar Association released a statement Friday saying it believed that the fault lay in the lack of philosophically sound, that it was superior to any other suggested concept for disposition of civil wrong, and that it was most important to understand beliefs of the citizens of Kansas.
The National Health Survey indicates that about one out of every three persons injured, is hurt in a single-car accident.
One major benefit of the no-fault system is that both the driver and the passengers would be using the same vehicles would be eligible for benefits.
Limits of $10,000 and 20,000 are required by the Kansas financial responsibility law on bodily injury and $5,000 on property damage. As of July 1, however, the limits will increase to $15,000 on property injury and remain at $5,000 for property damage. Brock said.

"Once you depart from an established system, there is always strong opposition," Krogh said.
recommendation I want to know why the governor thinks it was appropriate to discriminate against children and general assistance.
A long battle appears to be ahead for the legislature on the merits of adopting a new insurance program for Kansas.
"We're entitled to hear from the governor or a spokesman from the governor's office."
Last year, this same Republican-controlled committee voted to slash several million dollars from the Democratic governor's recommended budget for welfare and instructed the governor to 1972 session and ask for a supplemental appropriation.
Rep. Richard Loux, D-Wichita, said it was because of these cuts a year ago that there simply wasn't enough money to go around.
Rep. Franklin Gaines, D-Augusta, proposed a substitute motion to increase the proposed aid to children under $46,000 to restore the aid to dependent children and general assistance cuts, but later rescinded the aid.
Loux said there was an emergency in the medical program and that the supplemental bill would not be required. He suggested doubling it to provide the money for the medical program, but withdrew his proposal when Republican House Representative assurance there would be no delay once an explanation was received from the governor's office on the failure to comply with the general assistance and aid to dependent children funds.
As in its two trips last semester, the VVAA will take food, medical supplies and United Black United Front in Cairn.
According to Edmondson, a recent economic boycott by Cairo blacks has left them short of goods.
Edmondson said that donations and contributions may be brought to 1231 Oread, Apt. 7A. Other VW ACHV chapters throughout Kansas and Missouri drive this month, said Edmondson this month, said Edmondson.
Because of the individual differences of its 24-member or 56-member VVAW will not back any attempt to fall behind, Eklendon said.
He also said that the group encourages individual involvement and voter registration
