"Chicago 7" Lawyer
Kunstler to Counsel Gav Liberation Front
William Kunstler, head defense lawyer for the Chicago 7, has agreed to aid the Lawrence Gay Liberation Front in their attempt to get recognition as a student organization.
Kunslier announced his intention to represent the group in a letter to the Front's secretary, who wrote to him saying part. "I am happy to indicate to you that I would gladly represent you in your efforts to force the University to accede to your legitimate demands to be recognized as a great university."
Kunstler was introduced to the case by members of the Gay Liberation Front when he was a student at the University.
Barry Aldrin, legal counsel for the Front, said the case would be filed in Federal District Court in Topeka or Wichita in two or three weeks.
The Gay Liberation Front issued a press release Monday announcing their intention to pursue legal action. The release said two other organizations had expressed support of legal action. The American Civil Liberties Union will provide a lawyer to the case to help defend the rights of Youth is considering giving funds to help pay court costs, according to the statement.
The Gay Liberation Front has twice been refused recognition as a student organization. It was supported both times by the KU Student Senate Executive Committee.
In the most recent case, KU Chancellor E. Laurence McJr. said in a formal statement, "Formal recognition of the proposed student organization centers only benefit advantaged students," recognized student group members to the Student Senate. Since we are not per-
Proxmire Fights Lockheed Loan
WASHINGTON (UPI) - With its chairman keeping tabs from a Catio hideaway, Lockheed Aircraft Corp. has won impressive House and Senate victories in its bid for the government-guaranteed $250 million loan it needs to forestall bankruptcy.
Pronixie was whipped by a 56-36 vote Wednesday in his move to send back for new hearings a bill giving the government authority over the billions of worth of loans to allying corporations such as Lockheed, the nation's 3rd largest firm. Lockheed would probably get the first loan if the bill passes but it says it must have been the next week or so to avert bankruptcy.
But Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis, Lockeheim's foremost foe in Congress, threatened today to mastermind a filibuster aimed at preventing a final Senate vote before Congress quits Aug. 8 for a month's vacation.
A second crucial victory for the aerospace giant came in the House Banking Committee, which outwitted its chairman, 32 to 11 and approved a bill identical to the Senate measure. The House was expected to act on the measure before the Congressional recess.
Lockeed Board Chairman Daniel J. Haughton, a plainspan engineer from Alabama, watched developments from the ceremonial office assigned to Vice President Spiro T. Apew. The office is just off the Senate floor.
"In the 14 years I've been in the Senate, I've never been subjected to this kind of pressure," Proxmire said, complaining about the white House and by Lockeheim.

In 1940 his career revived when he was chosen as the voice of Jiminy Cricket in the Walt Disney classic "Pinochlo," and sang a production song "When You Wash Upon A Star."
Edwards died broke and forgotten, a welfare patient at the Virgil Convalescent Hospital Saturday. His remains were still unclaimed today.
Born in Hannibal, Mo., Edwards began singing as a teacher in Louis salons and began performing at the New York theater.

In their press release, the Gay Liberation said, "In addition to the right to apply for funds, formal recognition will allow us to use the facilities of the Student Union and also to rent offices from the Student Government. Student activity fees are collected from all schools, gay and straight alike, and at present are used entirely for gay-purpose."
The Front denied they had violated any state law.
William Balfour, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, said the University had had no difficulty with the Front "except on the one point of recognition."
Bafour had he thought the University's successes of winning court action were poor, but that the University would obey a court order to decide its decision in favor of the Jay Libertation Front.
He said the University had known the Front was interested in pursuing legal action, but did not know Kunstler would represent the organization in court.
Miller Stages Raids; At Least 83 Arrested
WICHTA (UPT)—All 33 persons were arrested early today in drug raids conducted by Attorneys General Vern Willer and a force of officers. All 33 officers are in Wichta—the state's largest city.
It marked the second straight day of drug crackdown in Kansas. Wednesday, law enforcement personnel staged pre-dawn drug arrests in communities. At least 50 arrests were made then.
Kirkpatrick said about 38 warrants were issued. He said all the warrants were for the sale of illicit drugs. However, he said, some of the arrests made were for other than drug sales.
Miller, Sedwick County Sheriff Johnnie Darr, Police Chief Merrill Kirkpatrick and Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) both said the wounds which began about midnight Wednesday.
"It went off real well," he said. "It was a joint effort of the county attorney, the sheffler's office, the NBI, attorney general and county prosecutor. Forty-five to 50 days went into its planning."
Kirkpatrick termed the raids the biggest in the city's history.
The Wichita police chief said some of the warrants issued were not served because the named individuals could not be found. "Some of them may never be may never, if they can't be found," he added.
He said the warrants were based on undercover work completed during the last six months.
Kirkpatrick said 20 search warrants were issued for the raids, indicating at least 20 different points in the city were raided by officers.
He said the quantities of marijuana, hashish, and unknown pills were seized in the raids. He also said he was "reasonably sure" that some heroin was confiscated. Kirkpatrick said the contraband would be analyzed by Wichita police and the KB1 to determine what specific types of drugs were involved.
A premature apprehension was forced Wednesday night when a witten spotted the arrest of two persons for allogamy selling drugs. At 10 p.m., police were on B. Davis, 32, of Whitcha, who was taken into custody about two hours later at his apartment. Police charged Davis with possession.
Miller's coordinated raids Wednesday resulted in at least 50 arrests, including the three women who were indicted.
Terrance Higginbottom, 19, was arrested after the raiders found marijuana in the attic of his home in Council Grove, one of 14 Kansas cities involved.
Later he pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana and was sentenced by Morris County Judge E. C. King to six months in jail plus a $200 fine.
Miller participated in Wednesday's raids of Lawrence and Council Grove. Other alies were involved.

Civil Rights Commission Active Case Load Increases Annually
Bv FLORESTINE PURNELL
Within the state of Kansas, there is a commission dedicated to helping relations between minority groups and employers, and public accommodations. This commission has been in operation since 1962, and since it has adequately lived up to most of its goals.
The opportunity to secure and to hold employment, and the opportunity for full and equal public accommodations as covered by the Kansas Act Against Discrimination are the civil rights of every citizen. To protect these rights, it is hereby declared to be the purpose of this act to establish and provide a state commission having power to eliminate or correct discriminatory practices or separation in employment and all places of public accommodations covered by this act because of race, religion, color, national origin or ancestry...
So states the preenable to the Kansas Act Against Discrimination. The commission designated to have the power to eliminate injustices is the Kansas Commission on Civil Rights. Specify powers granted to the commission in connection with community services and law enforcement.
The purpose of the community services program of the Commission is two-fold. Externally, the program tries to educate the public in everything pertaining to intergroup relations, provide technical assistance to various groups that are handling difficult programs, participate in the mediation of community disputes and help various groups by supplying human relations training for their member Internally, the Commission looks at its own performance and tries to find solutions to problems. It provides training tools, both training programs for staff, and helps staff investigators to analyze some of the technical aspects of their work.
In fiscal 1970, the Commission's community services program was expanded with the addition of an Education Specialist to the staff. The Education Specialist not only worked in formal school education, but in the general effect to educate the public at large through programs and services under the fiscal 1970, the Commission performed the following kinds of community services:
1. The Commission completed work on the set of "Guidelines for Integrating
Curriculum of Public Schools in Kansas" and published the results in conjunction with the department of Education. Many meetings were held with various school administrators and teachers to discuss parts of the curriculum and assist in implementing its suggestions.
3. Washerman University and the Mennonite Foundation were eventually involved in a three day project of intensive sessions of training for their staff. Numerous one day seminars were also conducted by staff members to discuss school problems and teacher preparation to handle them.
3. Staff has been continuously involved in the training of law enforcement officers in the area of human relations, including training sessions of the Police Academy in Hutchinson and the Highway Patrol Training Center in Salina.
5. A week of training for the Commission's staff in the new area of fair housing compliance was obtained in an agreement with Housing and Urban Development.
4. A new branch office was opened in Wichita in free office space through an agreement with the City of Wichita; the new office was opened on May 15, 1970.
6. Staff was involved in several problems of community tenders, such as Lawrence.
In addition to these activities, the Commission conducted human relations training sessions for various groups, participated in numerous seminars on race relations, advised several human relations commissions throughout the atlite, answered innumerable requests for information about human relations issues from the Commission, and has continued to make its library of books and films available to the community.

The Kansas Act Against Discrimination prohibits discrimination because of race, religion, color, national origin or ancestry in the enforcement of laws. The Commission's compliance program is mainly a law enforcement activity, with the power to enforce the law through印制 and training. State agencies efforts to solve problems on a cooperative basis, and through formal orders when
Psych Studies Use Students
Bv GALE NORTON
Most students involved in research projects are in the Introductory Psychology classes, but anyone may participate by signing one of the lists in the basement of Fraser Hall.
Man is constantly involved in probing not only the universe that surrounds him, but also the world within his mind. This exploration is based on results obtained in experiments using human subjects. Faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates who conduct research in the field of Kansas need many participants in their projects, so they recruit students from KU.
All researchers working with students are required to give an explanation of their projects to those involved. Many distribute their results to all participants.
This system of using students is beneficial for both researchers and students. Researchers are assured a constant supply of sub-
stances, and patients receive first hand exposure to procedures.
Each student enrolled in introductory psychology is required either to gain five research credits or do written reports. Most students will participate in research. A credit is given for each report, but if the procedure is longer than one hour, he will receive a credit for each additional hour. No one is required to participate in a parental consent study; any student can withdraw from a project because
A balance is difficult to gain between the number of openings in research and the number of students wishing to participate. Usually, at the beginning of a semester, few students have approximately 1000 students in introductory psychology have a large amount of enthusiasm and interest. This creates an overbalance of subjects. The opposite effect is found later in the year when research begins with more subjects, but students don't sign up for projects.
It is this second situation which exists now. Several research projects are underway; however, there is only a small enrollment in introductory psychology. For this reason, interested people who are not enrolled in psychology are especially welcome to sign up. Charles E. Hallenbeck, professor of psychology at the department would use "anybody we can find."
Some projects pay a small amount for participation (about $1). This is to provide an additional guarantee that a sufficient number of subjects will be found.
Certain types of people may be required for some projects. For instance, one comparing different software packages.
Projects vary widely in the tests given to subjects. In some, questionnaires are filled out. Those who respond in certain ways may be given further tests.
Several projects are now being conducted. One is a study of adaptation to distorted vision. A subject's vision is shifted by the use of various lenses.
In another, verbal learning capacity is tested by finding the length time it takes to learn a word.
Perception of body size is tested by estimating the length of body parts. The object is to determine if the perception of the object comes from the perception of innate objects.
Buckley Prints Phony Papers
NEW YORK (UPI)—William F. Buckley Jr. said Wednesday documents on the Vietnam War were being flown home huxed print to show the public would accept as classified information anything that seeped into the news.
Buckley, editor of the weekly magazine, said the articles were "spectacular." Review offices and were composed "ex nihilo"—out of
The articles were published in the magazine's current edition as "highly classified government documents" leaked by an informant who wanted to show the other side of the Pentagon papers published in
Burkley, meeting with newsmen on his return from Seattle, Wash., said the articles were printed in the National Review to prove "that forged documents would be widely used as genius provided their content was inherently plausible."
He said the hoax also was meant to show that "the Pentagon and the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) did not composed incompetents."
The National Review articles presented a general picture of a war in Vietnam, involving an long-term war in Vietnam. The Pentagon papers showed a deeper and deeper connection between the war in Indochina over three decades.
The National Review articles were reported by two television networks, news services and a number of newspapers.
