Student Senate Funds KU Methadone Clinic
By RON WOMBLE
Kansan Staff Writer
The Student Senate allocated $1500, Wednesday night, to the Watkins Hospital Methadone Maintenance Clinic "to insure that clients will not be turned away due to lack of funds" Brian Bauerle, sponsor of the allocation, said the funds would be used mostly for non-students since "most heroin addicts are not students."
Bauerle, a Harloo, La., senior, said funds were available to assist students who needed methadone treatments but no need to help non-students who needed them.
Hanoi Calls Nixon Peace Plan 'Nothing New'
Watkins Hospital is currently treating eight adducts with methadone, according to Bauerle, and only one of them is a student.
PARIS (AP)—The North Vietnamese have dismissed President Nixon's Indochina speech as a political document and accused him of breaking a promise by disclosing that Henry Kissinger held talks to the president and emphasized deletion to the Paris peace talks.
The Senate followed the Finance and
Audit Committee's recommendations and
adjusted the budget.
This angry reaction by the North Vietnamese delegation Wednesday to Nixon's address was preceded by an unfavorable comment by the North Vietnamese radio. It said there was "nothing new" in his plan for setting a new Vietnam War front in the New South Vietnamese elections in return for the release of U. S. prisoners of war.
Elsewhere, in Nixon's communist world, reaction to Nixon's speech Tuesday night generally was favorable, although some U.S. allies in Asia were cautious. There were expressions of hope that the plan would lead to settlement of the war.
A STATEMENT by the North Vietnamese delegation to the peace talks asserted Nixon made more threats and insisted that he would accept American people. Moreover, it added that Nixon's speech 'testified to his perfidious maneuver to deceive the American population.'
NEITHER THE statement nor the North Vietnamese broadcast rejected Nixon's proposals, however, "The present situation is creating a great many new advantages for our armed forces," Lt. Gen. Song Hao told a Hanol newspaper.
Lt. Gen Hao indicated what was on Hano's mind when he said the Americans "are defeated and are therefore forced to change their strategy." This meant he said, that North Vietnam was "faced with a new situation with many advantages and risks," although there still would be hardships ahead for the population.
Turning to the talks with Kissinger, Nikon's adviser, the statement continued: In deciding to unilaterally make public his views on Iran, the delegates proposed and promised to keep

"2. It persisted in maintaining the group of Nguyen Van Thieu and refused to give up its commitment to the latter. On the contrary, it sought by every means to attack the S.-L. administration of the U.S.-created Saigon puppet regime, its so-called "constitution and its 'law.'"
secret, Mr. Nixon gave further proof that the invasion was very easy to break armaments.
As to the secret talks themselves, the statement went on: "At the public sessions and the private meetings, through the relations of the delegation, and through the U.S. President's special adviser, Mr. Kissinger, the Nixon administration did not respond to two questions fundamental to the Vietnamese peaceful settlement of the Vietnam problem."
**1.1. IT REFUSED to stop the Vietnamization of the war, to pull out from South Vietnam the totality of U.S. troops, military advisers, military personnel, armaments and war materials as well as those of the other foreign countries in the U.S. camp, to dismantle U.S. military in South Vietnam, and to cease all air activities of the U.S. in acts of war against the Vietnamese people in both zones of Vietnam.**
THE VIET CONG delegation in Paris said Nixon's speech was "filled with electoral propaganda." The Viet Cong threatened to hand to conceal the policy of proligion and extension of the war of aggression followed by his administration, and on the other hand to continue to avoid a serious crisis that would demand the demands of the South Vietnamese people.
POTE SARASIN, a senior member of Thailand's ruling national executive council noted that Nixon's plan "seem to reasonable resolution to end the conflict."
Since Thailand is plagued by Communist insurrections, Pote said that any cease-fire must be linked to guarantees of "non-interference in the internal affairs of all
Southeast Asian countries."
Thure has announced that he is willing to resign and to guarantee that Communists will be represented.
The British Foreign Office, endorsing Nixon's proposals, issued a statement saying that "the United States should not be a power to the People."

*WE BELIEVE these are positive and constructive proposals and hope they lead to progress.*
Ellsworth Policy Change Debated in Closed Meeting
It was brought out in the afternoon meeting that the policy changes for Ellsworth—the reduction of open hours from twenty-four to seventeen hours and
Wednesday morning's meeting was closed because, Balfour said, incidents concerning specific individuals brought the police could be injurious to those individuals.
Later Wednesday afternoon the administrative housing board, made up by the school board, took student affairs; Emily Taylor, dean of women; Donald K. Alderson, dean of men; and J. J. Wilson, director of housing, met discuss the results of the morning meeting.

The Ellsworth Hall policy change controversy continued Wednesday with a closed door meeting of the administrative housing board, the president of the Association of University Residence Halls, and the Office of the Campus Maidstone office and two Ellsworth residents.
At the morning meeting there was discussion of the three-point proposal made by the residents of Ellsworth ad hoc committee and an eleven-point resolution drafted by the AURH executive council Tuesday night.
the elimination of the coeducational floors—would have to stand but that the board would agree to a proposal of the Ellsworth residents to review the policy changes and the contract for the 1972-73 school term.
Mike Sundermeyer, Raytown, Mo., junior and president of AURH, then suggested to the board that if a review of the changes were to be done with no hope of a resumption of the status quo, the review essentially was useless.
Balfour agreed but said that at least the housing board was living up to its responsibilities of listening to the students air their opinions.
The University administrators of the housing board have expressed three reasons for the change in policy. The change is a reversal of a national trend on college campuses to have 24-hour open visitation.
First, the board says the change back to the status quo is virtually impossible since the information packets for residence halls have been mailed out to about 300 people and the contracts for next year are in the final stages of preparation for printing.
End to KU Ed School Proposed

Second, members of the board say they are convinced that freshman students, and freshman women in particular, are not capable of handling an environment with no controls and without a strict program for self-discipline.
Chaney said that the bill was aimed at calling attention to duplication in the state's education system. And the teachers' education courses of the teachers would be taught only at Kansas State Teachers College in Emporia, Fort Hays State College, and Kansas State University UUStbk.
Under provisions of a bill written by
Rep. Ber Chaney, D-1Hutchinson, the
Kansas State University and
Kansas, Kansas State University would be
abolished by July 1, 1975. The bill was
proposed earlier this week in the Kansas
House.
"My first reaction is that traditionally the operation of higher education is under the jurisdiction of the Board of Regents," she added. "We are KU School of Education, said Wednesday.
ANOTHER BILL proposed by Chaney called for the creation of a coordinating committee to evaluate academic matters at the state's colleges and universities.
Scannell said that usually the legislature avoided legislation that would impinge on his own powers.
This bill could be seen as a move back to limiting state colleges to be teacher
He also said that Chaney's bill ignored the fact that KU and K-State are the only Kansas state schools with the authority to grant doctoral degrees in education. Scannell said that the state's colleges had insufficient library resources and lacked enough qualified faculty members to offer doctoral programs.
colleges, said Scannell, and this move has be reeled all over the country.
SCANNELL SAID that he believed that good teachers should be well educated in liberal arts and that "our institution is the best in the state."
PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS are best instructed in university departments corresponding to their areas of emphasis, Scannell said. For example, a prospective journalism teacher at KU completes most of his education directly in the School of Journalism. Scannell said that in some areas, state colleges don't offer sufficient training for students in specialized departments. Scannell also mentioned that K-State's agriculture and home economics programs were unparalleled in the state.
Scannell said that if Chaney was really worried about duplication, he "should have introduced a bill to restrict state colleges to undergraduate instruction and restrict graduate instruction to the three universities."
IN THE AREA of special education, most state colleges emphasize programs in the field of mental retardation. Scannell also teaches courses in methods of treatment of emotionally disturbed persons, the orthopedically handicapped and persons with learning disabilities. Scannell also offers a special school to offer a program of music therapy.
Twenty per cent of a prospective teacher's time, at the undergraduate level, is spent in education courses, said Marianne Farnsworth. Of his courses are in liberal arts or fine arts.
SCANNELL SAID that the six deans of the schools of education of the state colleges and universities are working on a plan for the administration of the schools and agreed upon emphases." Scannell said that the plan is a coordinating effort that would assign areas of preparation to certain state colleges and universities to strengthen strengths and abilities in certain fields.
"He (Cheny) would have to transfer the School of Fine Arts to one of those candidates."
Scannell said that more than 50 per cent of the credit hours offered in the School of Business are delivered by him.
He said that this plan was being worked on without legislative pressure.
This point was explained by Taylor, who said that freshmen needed structure in their first year away from parental direction and that sometimes many are not ready for complete independence after that.
Third, board members said a resumption next month of the 24-hour open house would only require coeducational floors would only further the problems already experienced this year. Those problems include two occasions, one of staff members and students were beaten up.
However it was explained by several board members that the problems stemming from these incidents were more internal than external.
The members said that there were problems because the hall was not working together enough in organizing various programs and that instead, discussions groups, parties, studying and recreational activities were taking place in the rooms in a "clubby" atmosphere.
It was the opinion of the board that the limitation of the open hours and instigation of resident programs of counseling services and study and reading skills laboratories would help provide a more cohesive living atmosphere.
Taylor said that since Ellsworth had no judiciary committee for disciplinary problems, the problems were simply compulsory; a committee is called to override the Senate code.

— Campus Veterans $1485
Blacktect $1100, a black architecture students group
National Association of Student Social Workers $250
—Association of Black Social Work Students $1000. The Senate also allocated $122 to the Anthropology Undergraduates Association, which had not been considered by the Finance and Auditing Committee.
Dennis Embry, Lawrence senior and director of the teacher-course evaluation, asked the Senate to set up a committee to study the relationship between his organization and the Senate. Embry said the evaluation had lost contact with the Senate and was operating almost independently of the body.
Embry told the Senate that his office was completely reviewing the teacher-course evaluation questionnaire and asked teachers to bid for it be completed by changed next spring.
Bill O'Neil, Senate Treasurer, disclosed that the Senate budget estimate for fiscal 1973 totaled $408,850. A part of the Senate取胜了: allocations

from summer activity fee)
David Miller, student body president,
keeps the students' minds on finances.
He told them that increased costs and a
leaving off of profits was expected to
reduce the amount of money returned to
the students from bookstore profits.
Miller said the financial situation "still isn't good, I wish I could tell you it were."
Miller read a letter from John Brenner, chairman of the University Daily Kansan Board, requesting $2400 to enable the university to take a week during the summer instead of two.
In other action, Peter George, president of the unorganized Housing Association sponsored a motion to question Chancellor James MacMillan's constitution of the committee that has been selected to search for a new vicechancellor for academic affairs. The committee, according to George, has only two positions of a total committee membership of 16.
The three student positions on the committee meet the student representation requirement of 20 per cent, George said, but a similar committee selected to search for a chancellor to fill the position held by former Chancellor Wescow had 50 per cent student representation.
The Senate passed a resolution reaffirming "the principles of . . . the Student Code of Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct." The resolution referred to changes in Ellsworth Hall policy by the administrative housing board.
Sponsors of the resolution claimed that students had not been consulted before the regulations were formulated and had not been in the formulation of those regulations.
The Senate passed a motion by Peter George giving the "First Annual Parents for a Moral America Award" to the administrative housing board for their action in changing the residence hall policy.
Brad Smoot, Sterling senior and vicechairman of SenEx, announced that anyone interested in serving on the University Events Committee or the Library Committee should contact the Student Senate office.
