The committee was appointed by Chalmers to make recommendations on the appointment of two new vice-chancellors for KU. The positions to be held are the Vice-Chancellor for academic affairs and the Vice-Chancellor for research and graduate studies.
Chalmers said Thursday, "I have received the same expression (that they were under-represented on the committee) from virtually every other group, which leads me to believe I have struck a point of balance."
The Student Senate voted Wednesday night to have David G. Miller, Eudora senior and student body president, ask Mr. Rodriguez to lead the 16 committee members were
"My responsibilities relate to more student areas than those of the Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs," Chalmers explained.
Peter George, chairman of the Unorganized Housing Committee, pointed out Wednesday night that the Search Commission had 50 per cent student representation.
Chalmeris said that if the committee had been appointed to select a Vice-Chancellor, they would have chosen James.
representation would have been much higher.
"I think that the Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs should not only be able to work well with the various academic jurisdictions in the University, Lafin said, "but also strive to revitalize the educational program at KU."
"In all probability any one (of the people on the committee) is capable of being far more representative than the special interest group he or she comes from."
Molly Lafflin, Lawrence senior and vice president of the student body, said she objected to the composition of the committee because of the positions of the committee members in the University structure. She said that students needed a more balanced Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs who would "push for change for students."
"I can't help but believe that a committee composed of 13 members of the faculty and administration and only three students would consider the ability to work well with the Council of Deans, the College and the professional schools," she said, "a stronger position for the position that any interest or competence in the area of academic reform."
$2.5 Billion In Aid Could Go to North Viets
WASHINGTON  (AP)—The United States told Hanoveriens in last year's secret talks that Washington would be willing to undertake a $7.2 billion postwar reconstruction aid program for Indochina to cap up to $2.8 billion could go to North Vietnam.

Judge Cites Lack of 'Proper Respect'
Kunstler Rejected As Gays' Attorney
By MARTI STEWART
Kansan Staff Writer
A federal district court judge denied Thursday the Lawrence Gay Liberation Front's motion for a temporary injunction against the University of Kansas in a Topeka hearing that saw Front co-counselman Kunstler denied recognition of the court.
George Templar the judge, told Kurtner that "in light of your notoriety" he would not recognize him and would not allow him to argue the case for the Front.
Templar said that, although the court may permit a lawyer from another district to practice in the courtroom, he was denying the privilege to Kunstler. He said that Kunstler did not have proper respect for the judge. And Kunstler's public statements abusive.
"It is the first time in any year of my practice that I've had a judge say that," he said.
KUNSTLER ARGUED that in 25 years of legal practice he had never had disarrhment proceedings brought against him, that he was now in good standing with several state bars and that he had only one conviction for contempt.
Templar remuned Kunster that he had told Front co-counsel, Jack Knlintnett, several days ago that if Kunster be would not be allowed before the court.
"How can you possibly make a decision on what you've heard or read?" Kunster
Kunstler, in answer to Templar's statement, said, "I think what your honor has said violates fundamentally the Constitution of the United States. You are making a finding against me without a basis," she said. We have never said I do not respect the law."
He asked Templar to give him a chance to argue the case and to judge his behavior. When his request was denied, he turned to the court for advice "unconstitutional and unconscionable."
KUNSTLER TOOK a chair in the courtroom and, although he did not argue the case, remained close enough to give advice to Kinnett, who took his place.
During a five-minute recit, Charles H. Oldfather, University attorney and professor of law, asked that Templar reconsider his decision.
Oldfather said, "I guess there are some times in one's life when one must stand still and ponder."
He urged Templar to call a 15 minute sec so that he could discuss his decision.
Templar refused, saying, "I'm persuaded his appearance will not permit me."
South Viet Troops Engage Enemy In Central Highland
Kunstler, during a later recess, crossed the court and embraced Oldfather.
Oldfather explained later that he had acted, "not as university attorney, but as a lawyer."
"I strongly disagreed with the judge's not admitting Mr. Kunstler," he said. "I guess I felt the occasion was one in which I should speak since I was present."
Kunstler arrived in Kansas on Wednesday and left Thursday before the hearing ended. He said he had to return to school because of a murder case being delivered by a劫

SAIGON (AP) -South Vietnamese troops stumbled on to a base camp occupied by a company of enemy soldiers in the central highlands, touching off on Thursday one of the sharpest battles since the Vietnamese buildup began there two months ago.
South Vietnamese headquarters said 25 North Vietnamese were killed, 20 of them by air strikes, in the ensuing battle. The base camp was found 13 miles southeast of Tan Canh in the general area of the Ben Het border base.

But a field report later said one tank was in fact knocked out along with three trucks

First Amendment. He sought a temporary injunction against the University that would prevent KU from denying until the case could be completed.
Klirnett argued that the Front's rights were being abridged because lack of funding made it more difficult for the group to organize and to be heard by
JOHN R. MARTIN, first assistant attorney general of the state, argued on behalf of the University that the Front had not been deprived of any rights and that it had all privileges granted to other students except for funding from the Student Senate.
University students and the public
Templar said that, as far as the evidence indicated, he did not see that the members of the Front had been discriminated against.
"The court does not see fit at this time to grant a temporary injunction."
"THE COURT is not permsued at this point," he said, "as far as granting an injunction, that the absence of official documents constitutes institutes irreparable damage to the group."
Templar gave both attorneys 10 days to prepare their findings of fact and conclusions of law in the case. He will make a decision on the case at that time.
Nixon Switches Stans To Campaign Position
The President simultaneously announced a reshuffling of two top White House economic advisors to fill the gap. They were:
WASHINGTON (AP)—Secretary of Commerce Marissa Steps stepped down from the Nixon cabinet Thursday, with the President's personal send-off, to become chief fund-riser for Nixon's 1972 re-election campaign.
