AURH Board Opposes Change In Ellsworth Opinion Statement
By GARY NEIL PETERSON Kansan Staff Writer
Strong opposition to Elsworth Hall policy changes for next year came after the university announced University Residence Halls (AURH) executive board. This action followed Monday's petition of the housing board by men and women residents of Elsworth Hall.
Mike Sundermeyer, Raytown, Mo., junior, president of AURH, said the AURH executive board opinion was that the present policy concerning 24-hour open house meetings should be continued during the 1972-73 school year. Next year's policy was changed by a four-member housing board: Donald K. Alderson, dean of men; Emily Taylor, dean of women; William Bailor, vice president of HVAC, Harsen and J, J. Wilson, director of housing.
Sundermeyer said the AURH executive
board drew up an eleven point statement in explanation of their opinion:
`apparently, problems in security have been solved, if this was a reason for the hackers' attack.`

Gay Lib Suit Against KU To Enter Court Today
By FRANK SLOVER Kansan Staff Writer
There are two aspects to the case, according to Klinknett. In today's proceeding the Front hopes to obtain a temporary injunction preventing KU from denying recognition to it and so to stop the harmful harm to the organization," he said.
Jack Klinknette, co-counsel for the Front, explained Tuesday that the suit names Chalmer and Ralfour as defendants although it seeks to force the University to recognize Gay Lib as a bona fide campus organization.
The front's other lawyer, William Kunstler, may be at the hearing, too. Kunstler told Klinknet that he would not know whether he could make it to Kansas until the last minute because of other court action.
The injunction would provide interim
relief until the second part of the case could be completed. It would be a declaratory judgment as to whether or not the University can constitutionally deny the group recognition. The court date for action has not yet been set, Klinkett et al.
If Kunstler comes to the hearing he may be denied entry to the courtroom.

According to Klinknett:
"I told Mr. Kunstler what the judge had said, and he said he still try to agree."

- the changes are discriminatory to freshman women who will have no place on campus for the 24-hour open hour visitation policy.
By Monday 647 more students were enrolled than at this time last year. KU has 16,992 students enrolled this spring compared to 16,000 last year. Keka said the spring probably boost the total to 17,500. The spring semester last year was 17,045.
Enrollment Expected To Reach Spring High

Tuesday evening in Ellsworth there was a hall government meeting, which as usual, included all interested residents. Both men and women later petitioned the council to state this information stated in the headlines of Tuesday's Kansas. At that meeting three resolutions were drafted to present to Dean Alderson and the other three members of the housing committee. The resolutions were: (1) disapproval of the changes and the way the city handled the housing issue; (2) proposal that the status quo—open hours and coeducational floors—be retained and a 20 per cent student representation on the housing board be added, and (3) appearance of the four-man housing board before the Ellsworth Hall meeting to discuss these proposals on January 31, 1972 in Ellsworth's main lobby.
President Discloses Vietnam Peace Plan
Kissinger, who made a secret trip to Peking last summer to arrange Nixon's February journey to China, began the mission in Paris on Aug. 4, 1969. Nixon said.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Nixon disclosed Tuesday night a peace plan which he said had been secretly offered to the Communists and which calls for withdrawal of all U.S. forces within six months and new South Vietnamese forces. The U.S. Vietnam trees American prisoners of war and accrete a cease-fire in Indochina.
Nixon said the "most comprehensive peace plan of this conflict" was offered on Oct. 11 but it ignored in a secret effort an enemy tries again for military victory."
Secret Negotiations Revealed
In a national radio and television address from his oval office, Nixon said his top foreign-affairs adviser, Henry Kissinger, had made a dozen secret trips to Paris in the past 30 months to pursue the US-China relationship with North Vietnamese leaders.
Until recently, the secret negotiations "showed signs of yielding some progress," Nixon said, but now, he added, "it is my judgment that the purposes of peace will be served by bringing out publicly the prophecy we have been making in private."
During the ensuing months, he said, the United States offered a variety of services.
Nixon's speech was timed to coincide with a broadcast by South Vietnamese forces.
The main elements of that eight-point plan, which he said he has instructed Ambassador William J. Porter to present in paris in this Thursday, are:
TOTAL WITHIDRAWAL from South Vietnam of all U.S. forces within six months
—AN EXCHANGE of prisoners which will begin the same day as the troop withdrawals and will be completed when they are completed.
-A GENERAL, cease-fire throughout Indochina beginning when an agreement is signed and barring any infiltration of forces into any of the countries of Indochina.
—NEW PRESIDENTIAL elections in South Vietnam within six months of an agreement, supervised by an independent congressman, to resuming one month prior to the election.
THE OTHER FOUR points in the Nixon plan include an agreement that there will be no foreign intervention in Indochinese countries as set forth in the 1964 Geneva Agreement and the 1962 Laos pact; that there will be international supervision of the military; that all armed forces must remain within their national frontiers and that there will be an international guarantee for the fundamental rights of

Under the new plan, a few more students would be excused from English 1 in the regular track; English 1H and 2H will be replaced by English 2H and 3H, which would have new purposes and course requirements. We would no longer move from the regular track to the honors track solely on the basis of the grades they receive in English 1.
The College Assembly passed, for the first time in KU history, guidelines for the screening, appointing, and supervising of teachers who teach courses in the College of Liberal Arts.

- No undergraduate student should be the sole teacher on any course. Each must be supervised by an instructor.
- Faculty supervisors have the final responsibility for course content, choice of texts, classroom procedures, construction of examinations of grades and extra for the grade sheets.
- On a regular basis, faculty supervisors should inform themselves of the progress of such classes, and the work of enrolled students should be periodically inspected.

Summary of Statement
WASHINGTON (AP) — Following is an at-a-glance summary of President Nixon's statement on the Vietnam War Tuesday night;
—The record of secret negotiations since Aug. 4, 1969, is being made public by Nixon to try to break the deadlock in the Paris peace talks.
Henry A. Kissinger, the President's national security affairs adviser, has traveled to Paris 12 times for secret meetings with top North Vietnamese officials and sought U.S. undertaking and sought to exploit U.S. public opinion with false statements.
—On May 31, 1971, the United States secretly offered at Paris "to agree to a deadline for withdrawal of all American securities for exchange of wages of prisoners in a ceasefire." The North Vietnamese rejected the U.S. offer at the next secret meeting June 26, proposing instead a nine-point plan "which would entitle us not tothrow the government of South Vietnam.
On Oct. 11, after consultation with South Vietnamese President Vanqen Van
Theu, Nixon offered a new eight-point peace plan and urged a meeting between Kissinger and a North Vietnamese representative. The North Vietnamese first agreed to, then called off the meeting and stepped on the pace of the war.
—Theiu and his vice president would resign one month before the new election. A caretaker head of government would not until the election determines a new chief.
- Within six months of an agreement there would be a withdrawal of "all U.S. and allied forces from South Vietnam," an exchange of all prisoners, a cease-fire throughout Indochina and a new presidential election in South Vietnam.
- Some U.S. citizens think "that whatever our government says must be false and whatever our enemies say must be true." The word word he disclosed "proves the contrary."
- The United States has gone the extra mile, offering everything reasonable except the overthrow of an ally "which the people of America shall never do." NixioUU.

Assistant Campus Editor
The ad hoc committee on All Student Council (A.S.C.) Stature 5, "A Statute on Student Publications," completed its study in mid-December and will submit a bill to replace the statue at the Student Senate meeting tonight.
John House, Raytown, Mo., senior and chairman of the ad hoc committee, sent letters to student senators in December in which he stated that the committee found the statute to be "wholly outdated and beyond repair."
The bill proposed by House's committee would establish a student Publications Board composed of five members of the College Board, chaired by a member of the Student Senate.
Committee to Submit Bill For Publications Changes
The duties of the Publications Board, as presented in the bill, would be to register and make available to members of the student body the names of the editor and the business manager of all student publications. Where the publications could be contacted and co-laborated with the Kansas Board Constitution and the Jayhawker Board Constitution.
OTHER DUTIES of the Student Publications Board would be to annually, or more often, audit the accounts of the various student publications and transmit copies of these audits to the treasurer of the Student Senate; to administer and maintain records of accounts made from accounts of the Student Senate as allocated to student publications by the senate in conjunction with the treasurer's office; to approve all contracts and obligations in excess of $100 and all contracts or orders for printing, and all salary or commission payments, except in cases where the Publications Board would monthly review and approve all contracts and obligations made by the Kansan.
THE FOLLOWING guidelines would be established if the bill is passed in its committee.
"B. None of the various student publications under the jurisdiction of this statute shall be allowed to fall into a deficit in any two fiscal year period. In the event that any student publication, such defict shall be paid in full by the Student Senate."
"A. None of the various student publications under the jurisdiction of this statute shall be allowed to make a profit in any two fiscal year periods. In the event that any such investment is shown by any student publication such funds shall be returned to the Student Senate.
ANOTHER GUIDELINE listed was that as far as possible, funds would be allocated to the University Daily Kansas sufficient for research between news items and advertisements.
The bill would also change the current composition of the Kansan Board. The bill proposes that the Kansan Board be composed of the chairman of the Student Publications Board (or his representative from the Board); the editor and business executive of the newspaper; and the journalism student to be appointed for a term of one year by the Committee Board of the Student Senate; one journalism student to be elected for a one-year term by the students of the School of Journalism; the business adviser and the news adviser of the Kansan; and the dean of the School of Journalism or the Dean's associate who shall be the chairman of the Kansan Board but a nonvoting member.
THE BOARD is presently composed of the dean's representative, the news adviser, the business adviser, the editor and the business manager, the Student representative and a student representative chosen at large. All are voting members.
