The Rabbit is Real by Karla Bunch age 9
The rabbit is real.
The rabbit is real,
Though not seeing any in the city,
I think there is,
I know,
Walking in the meadow to school on a cold October morn.
Walking,
Walking
By and by,
Honk! Honk!
Silence.
Rustle , Rustle ,
The meadow grasses rustle,
I cross the meadow in a running manner,
Rustle,
It is not mine!
It is not my feet,
Dashing across is a brown & white streak,
a rabbit is real.
Voices in the Hallway of Peace
I will not shout,
Quiet,
Peace,
Guns, what are they?
We are in the 23rd century,
What is war ?
People are confused!
They find a note reading:
"21st century war is going on!"
What is war ?
When was the 21st century?
Questions,
No violence,
Voices in the hallway of peace.

Kissinger said he had to admit he had been traveling and was out of touch, save for press letters.
Heron said the University will need a new library in the next decade. He said Watson Library built in 1928, has had three additions and added that "it is not an ideally designed building."
"Statistically, it is rather short of seating space." Heron said. "We should be able to seat 4,000 in the entire library system. We have seating for 2,500. This is somewhat less than that there are too many times when this building (Watson) is terribly over crowded."

Another problem the library has is a shortage of personnel.
"This year the work load is going to increase," Heron said, "and there will be fewer, rather than more, people working here." The library also has a brieflisting problem. There are currently about 250,000 books that are only brieflisted and not tally catalogued. To the user of the card catalog, brieflisted books are not as useful.
Heron said the library needs more employees to speed up the briefing work.

Once he began his 20 hours of talks with Premier Chou En-lai, he said, the Chinese leader proved to be better informed about some of Nixon's more recent statements than he was. He said Chou immediately started peppering him with intelligent questions about an off-the-cuff briefing Nixon held for newsmen in Kansas City July 6.
Although no date for Nixon's visit has been announced, Kissinger said diplomatic negotiations were underway to make sure the groundwork will be well laid. White House officials said Nixon will probably go late this year or early in 1972.
Between 1959 and 1970, the number of masters degrees awarded at KU has increased 192.7 per cent, the number of doctoral degrees has increased 303.4 per cent, and the number of master's degrees has increased 386.5 per cent.
The root of the libraries' trouble is the refusal of the Board of Regents and the state legislature to allot more money for books, library generation and provision of facilities.
Kissinger said he has no illusions about an immediate friendship forming between Nixon and Choi; but he said there seems to be mutual respect already.
The following morning Chou sent him a copy of Nixon's remarks, in text, with his personal notations on the margin and a note reading "please return, our only conv."
TOPEKA (UPI) - Gov. Robert B. Docking Monday made a last ditch effort to halt the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) funding for the nuclear waste dump near lyons.
Kissinger revealed that and other details of hisiking trip during a chat Sunday aboard Air Force One as President Nixon and his party returned from California. Nixon called on his cabinet and congressional leaders of the administration to discuss his unimminent China visit.
In 1968-69, the total expenditure of the Kansas University Libraries was $2,143,538. In 1969-70, the total expenditure was $2,160,857. In 1970-71, would probably drop to $2,000,000.
Kissinger Reveals Details of Trip
WASHINGTON (UPI)- Henry Kissinger's trip to China was so secret that even one of the two Secret Service agents who went with him didn't know the destination.
Heron said the administration has been advocating a new system of budgeting, called formula budgeting, used widely by other institutions of higher education. He said that the library submitted a formulated budget two years ago, (1984-89) in which it requested $70 million. This budget was turned down by the Board of Regents' it never made it to the legislature).
The annual report for 1968-70 summarized the success of the formula budgeting technique for that year: "It went down in flames with the rest of the rest, but some day when the weather improves it should fly better than the old magic carpet."
On arrival in Peking the Chinese kept their promise of strict secrecy, even to the point of whisking him away from the airport in a car and taking rear windows hidden by thick silk curtains.
He also brought back memories—as the U.S. table tennis team died before of him—the second time he played.
Kissinger declined to discuss what type of aircraft was used on his clandestine trip, or even what route he traveled. But he said one of the two Secret Service agents with him was in the dark—until he spotted a Chinese aircraft, presumably on the flight into China.
With a shortage of employees and operating funds, another economy instituted by the government was established.
"This is a problem this summer," Heron said. "People who work during the week can't go to school."
Heron said that the library would be closed on Friday evenings during the coming school year, and that the library would be forced to curtail its hours of service a total of five to ten per cent during the year. He added that state schools were having the same problems.
The agent, Kissinger added, nearly dropped its teeth.
The University of Kansas library system is not facing an immediate crisis. Libraries at KU will continue to operate. But they will be overcrowded, understaffed, and the quantity and quality of resource materials will continue to increase in future years unless the libraries receive more financial aid from the Board of Regents and, ultimately, the state legislature.
The governor's office released the text of a letter sent by the Kansas governor to all 100 members of the U.S. Senate. The Senate will consider the request today.
"I do not believe the AEC has made every effort to determine the safety of the Lyons project. Many of our state's prominent scientists, knowledgeable in the technical complexities and potential dangers of storing radioactive wastes, have joined with me in that the AEC conduct further laboratories in order to ensure the Lyons project before proceeding with site acquisition and construction." Docking said in the letter.
Docking asked the Congress approve AEC funds for research on the project, but defer the requests for funds to acquire land and set up a project until all safety tests are completed.
The AEC wants to take over an abandoned salt mine near Lyons in central Kansas for the nuclear waste dump. Tadroactive waste from the dump would be deposited in the nation nation would be deposited at the dump.
The governor said the AEC "for the most part has ignored our concerns" and gave him the floor.
Spencer library has been closed due to a 12,500 volt cable broken by a construction worker at the site of Wesco Hall Tuesday, July 13.
Spencer Closed This Week
There has been a generator installed to keep the library at a cool temperature. It is not known how well the generator will provide the library until the cable is repaired.
Spencer contains many old documents, manuscripts and rare books which might be destroyed if not kept in a controlled atmosphere. There are no lights in the library.
The closing of the library has caused an inconvenience for approximately 40 students and 45 faculty members who are using the library this summer. Three of these have been provided with space near a window in the library to continue their studies. Two are doctoral candidates and the third is a faculty member.
Most of the staff employed at Spencer Library have been transferred to Watson Law School.
This Canson Construction Co. said the cable would probably be repaired by the end of thin
