Anti-War Campaign Steps Up
Demonstrators Interrupt Debate on Senate Floor
WASHINGTON (UPI)—A group of protesters shouting "God have mercy on your souls" interrupted debate on the Senate floor Monday as hundreds of demonstrators stepped up their campaign on Capitol Hill to end the Vietnam War.
The incident, on the first day of a planned two-week "People's Lobby" occurred while contingents of protestors held the halls of Congress chanting and weeping or pressing charges.
The shift to more aggressive tactics brought tight police security and warnings from leaders of both parties that any violence or disruption of government could sour the impression made by participants in last week's peaceful assemblies, particularly the throng of at least 175,000 that rallied in the capital Saturday.
The latest activity is organized by a group under the direction of Chicago Seven defendant Rennie Davis and is called the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice. It's goal is to disrupt the city and operation of the government.
The action in the Senate began when a youth wearing a red cloth evidently depicting a Communist flag stood up in the gallery and shouted "Stop the war!" at the top of his lungs. His companions then starting yelled "There are people dying." "God have mercy on your souls" and "S—, you fools," before they were ejected and arrested.
About the same time, demonstrators began sit-ins or sittings in some Senate offices, held an hour-long meeting with Selective Service Director Curtis Tars and rallied on the House
steps to call for a $6,500-a-year guaranteed income for every family of four.
Tarr was given a list of demands, including one that he ask for an end to the draft and another that he request President Nixon to grant amnesty for all draft resisters.
Although the protests generally were noisy, they remained nonviolent. Police reported many people who were arrested in the Senate, seven during a demonstration at the Pentagon and 10 others, who were charged with disorderly conduct during a march through the fashionable Georgetown area.
Nixon Urges Americans To Reject Doom Cries
WASHINGTON (UPI)—President Nixon urged Americans Monday to reject cries of doom and despair and not lose confidence in his ability to advance the welfare of mankind.
"In dealing with the future of this country," he told the 19th annual meeting of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, "if you want to be a realist, you have to be an optimist."
Speaking out in the midst of two weeks of antiwar protests, Nixon said that now, as in other times in the past, the confidence of Americans was under attack by those who feel a "sense of dispair is on the rise and hope is fading."
Earlier in the day, Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield, Mont., and acting GOP leader Robert P. Griffin, Mich., agreed that the protests last week by Vietnam veterans and other foes of the war would have impact on the Nixon administration.
"We are told that the American people have grown to weary of bearing their share of responsibility for keeping peace and support around the world," the President said.
Nixon said the country had good reason to be confident about:
Freedom, "... . . . You and everyone else in the world have a right to be confident that the United States will use its strength only to build peace with freedom, never to destroy
Indochina. " . . . This nation will reject the counsel of the new isolations. We are ending our involvement in the war in Southeast Asia in a way that will permit us to stay involved in building a full generation of peace throughout the world."
Money. "... America's economy will continue its vigorous expansion without bringing on a new round of inflation, ... the figures ahead will have their ups and downs, but the worst of inflation is behind us and I am determined to see to it that it stays behind
Employment. "You can be sure that the road to full employment with price stability—the new prosperity—will be the road of free competition, free bargaining, free men."
But Mansfield said the more militant actions promised by protesters in the days ahead "could well be counterproductive" and that such incidents certainly cannot tolerate lawlessness" in the city.
Welfare. "The dignity of work, which is so much a part of the character of the American people, is not about to be replaced by the indigency of welfare ... because I believe in
Across town at the White House, Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler said President Nixon "followed events very closely" while spending the weekend at his Camp David retreat in western Maryland. But Ziegler was quick to point out that he will be influenced by the protests, saying only that Nixon "is very much aware" of the views held by the demonstrators.
human dignity, I am fighting for a total overhaul of the demeaning welfare system—to provide a floor of income under every family with children in the United States.
Age Isn't Judge of Worth Agnew Says of FBI Director
NEW ORLEANS (UPI)—Vice Pressman Spiro T. Agnew said Monday that there were plenty of older men in high places in Washington and attempts to discredit FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover because of age a play to curry the favor of the radical left.
"It gives off an unpleasant political odor."
Agnew said in a talk at the South Gas Association convention. "You don't judge a man's worth or his competence by his age."
He said that three U.S. Supreme Court justices were over 70 and that senior justice Hugo Black was 85, and that 12 U.S. senators and 14 U.S. representatives were over 70.
The senators include Louisiana's Allen Elender, a Democrat, who is 80. Hoover is 79.
"I think it is something more than age that the real issue in the effort to drive J Edgar Walker," she said.
"A more likely explanation is the fact that he is an anathema to the New Leaf and extremists of every stripe and he doesn't mince them or substitute them to as dangerous to the country."
Agnew said the criticism of Hoover came "mainly from presidential aspirants who apparently foresee some accretion of power in the coming decade" and the integrity of the FBI's longtime director."
He specifically criticized Sen. Edmund Muskie, D-Daine, and Sen. George McGovern, D-Minn., for their appeals for Hoover's reservation.
Agnew said McGewern's contention that "virtually every political figure" was under FBI surveillance would mean, if true, that the president and nation were tilted up shadowing politicians.
"The bureau does not have the time or the manpower for the surveillance that it is accused of maintaining on innocent people." Agnew said. He disputed news reports of Dic's claim that FBI agents shadowed him in Earth Day rally in Washington last year.
New Orleans is the hometown of Rep. Hale Boggs, D-La., who charged that the FBI had tapped his telephone and called for Hoover's dismissal. But Agnew referred to Boggs, the House majority leader, only "as the well known congressman."
Amore said the FBI agents went to the rally primarily to keep an eye on 'incendary fire'.

The allocations for the Athletic Department and University Theatre provide for an increase of $2.50 on athletic tickets, and for students to pay half price for theatre tickets.
These allocations come to $39,438. There is $4,542 left in the contingency fund and about $50,000 left from last year's activity allocations, leaving about $55,000 to be budgeted to all the other groups who requested funds from the student activity fee.
The total amount of allocations taken from the $55,000 comes to $29,388,48, which leaves $10,611.52 in the contingency fund for next year.

U.S. Viet Policy Attacked By Non-Violent Protester
By MELLIE DELANEY Kansan Staff Writer
Tom Davidson, named as a co-conspirator in an alleged attempt to kidnap Henry Kissinger, President adviser, charged the United States government with "conspiracy to bomb, conspiracy to kidnap and conspiracy to commit murder."
Davidson delivered a speech entitled "Compracy, Repression, and Non-violent Resistance" to about 100 people Monday night in the Kansas Union.
Davidson accused the United States of transferring three or four million South Vietnamese from the demilitarized zone in northern South Vietnam to "strategic hamlets" in the Mekong Delta. This move, he said, would clear the way for an American invasion of North Vietnam. He added that he thought the induction of three million men
into the U.S. Army constituted kidnapping.
He charged that the government was also
intolerant to his complaints.
We are dropping the equivalent of two Bromuba bomb every week in Vietnam,
"These facts yield a conspiracy to murder," he said. "To stop war crimes we must stop the policies that inspire them. The conspiracy to commut murder is dictated by the United States government's policy of genocide."
He said statistics supported his charges.
"One half of the child population of South Vietnam will never reach the age of five," he said. "One half of the population of South Vietnam and Laos are refugees. About 300,000 civilians are killed every year in Indochina, and every hour of every day, 66 civilians die."

Vice Chancellor Works Out Details of KU's Budget

Keith Nitcher, Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs
assists Chancellor in annual budget
By CAROLYN ROTHERY
Kenan Staff Writer
The fiscal year for 1971 will end in June, but even before the controversy about the appropriations the University of Kansas received for the next financial year has ended, Keith E. Nitzer will be starting work on the budget requests for 1973. Nitzer is the manager of business affairs and is in charge of the fiscal operations of the University.
The office of business affairs in Strong Hall is the center of operations for the annual budget request cycle, a year-long job. The office administers the activities; the building service; the preparation of the state budget, which includes all of the day-to-day spending of the school; and the governmental fiscal matters dealing with the state's budget. The vice censorhip for business affairs.
NITCHER HAS BEEN a resident of Kansas all of his life. He received a 60-hour elementary certificate from Emuoria State Teachers' College and was the principal of the Libo, Kau. grade school. He later received a graduate degree from Washburn University in 1948.
After graduation he served as the assistant
treasurer of Washburn University for two years. He then worked in a public accountant firm and received his Certified Public Accountant rating in 1954.
His career with the state of Kansas began with the job of assistant to the state controller. In 1967, Nitcher became the state's chief tax officer, and that job until 1969, when he became the deputy vice chancellor for finance. He was promoted the next year to vice chancellor for finance. That title was changed last summer, and he was hired as an administrator during a reorganization of the administration.
FOR THE PURPOSES of the budget,
Nitcher said, the administration was divided into three main areas—student affairs,
health services and education affairs—each headed by a vice chancellor.
Nitcher explained that one of the main functions of his office is to assist the Chancellor in the annual budget request. Work begins on June 1 of each year for the budget of the following fiscal year that begins the next summer.
The first step is filing a legislative request with the Board of Regents. The request outlines what the Chancellor thinks will be needed for the next fiscal year. The outline
AFTER THE AUTHORIZATION from the Regents is received, it becomes the job of Nitcher to develop to this outline into a blueprint of all expenditures for that fiscal year. This blueprint takes the form of a two-column document.
The next step in the budget request is the
including salary requests, new programs in the planning stages and the developments of certain capital improvements. The outcome of this action is an authorization from the Hequis to ask the Kansas Legislature for a $20 million grant requested funds, broken down into areas.
This document includes all the requests and a history of how much the University has spent in the past on each such request. This document will be sent to the budget director of the state by Sept. 15.
The budget director usually makes certain changes in what he recommends to the Governor as opposed to what the Chancellor suggests. In December there was a meeting held with the budget director, the Governor, the Chancellor and certain other financial experts. The purpose of this meeting is to give the Chancellor insight into the things that the budget director has cut out.
Governor's suggestion to the Legislature for his budget for the next fiscal year, which is expected to be released next month.
The governor's state budget for this year was about the size of one volume of the Chancellor's budget. The funds for KU were contained on eight pages. In the Chancellor's budget request, the money is divided among seven different divisions of University functions. These are student services, instructional, research, and administration enterprises, such as residence halls and the Kansas Union. An additional breakdown of each of these divisions occurs under salaries and wages, supplies, equipment and transportation, and capital improvements.
Comparison of the totals of each division and each breakdown under each division between the Chancellor's request and the Governor's recommendation allows the Chancellor to see where cuts were made, Nitcher said.
THE GOVERNOR'S budget request is taken up first by the Senate Ways and Means Committee. All of the state colleges and
