Budget Cut by $130,148
Legislature Ends Term KU Loses More Money
TOPEKA (UPI)—The KU budget was cut by $130,148 when the Kansas university tried to equalize college and university budgets but just before it adjourned Tuesday.
The KU operating budget was cut from
$2,650.398 to $2,533.341 Paul Hess, KU law
officer, and the legal department.
Govern. Robert B. Docking's education budget was cut 4.2 per cent across the board, but the legislature decided to go back to the 1971 version. They redistributed the cubs again Tuesday.
The largest cut at KU was for wages and salaries, which were cut by about $104,000.
Hess voted against all education and welfare budget cuts and said he favored the cuts.
The legislature was in its 90th day of the session, the last day legislature can be paid in full.
The end came at 3:08 p.m. after the Senate approved the appropriations bill on a 269-day delay.
approving the measure on a 110-4 vote and the Senate was left with the option of rejecting the measure.
Senate President Pro Tern Glee S. Smith Jr. of Larried described the House action as "very irresponsible" and said a special legislative session would have been needed if Senate rejected the proposals. He urged senators to approve the bill to avoid a special session.
HOUSE SPEAKER Calvin A. Strowig or
Bolleane said the Senate had shown the same
thought on his case.
"The Senate was in the process of adding amendments to the omnibus bill to be the savior of the state," he said. The House sent tax increases, they rejected them.
"We are at the place now the Senate said it is not going to raise any more revenue so we will move forward," he said.
The $1.6 million bill for both this fiscal year and next increased the budgets at three state parks, but further cut budgets at the other than KU, Emporia State and Pittsburgh State.
"I was happy the juvenile facilities were in the budget," said House Minority Leader Lee Hirsch.
Regent Says Budget Cuts Could Cause Prof Exodus
THE OMNIBUS BILL also included $938.574

care.

"All we did to them the Senate was what they would have done to us" "only we bent their hands."
THE LEGISLATURE adjourned without acting on two highway billing bills, including one which would have authorized $400 million in bonds to speed up freeway and highway construction. The other would build two new turnpipes, one from the opposition to the Oklahoma border near Arkansas City and the other from Kansas City to Galena.
Stewart said it had been discouraging to work so hard at something and to see it "too"

TOPEKA-J Jess Stewart, Wamego regent, said recently he was concerned about the possibility of a mass exodus of teachers from mass because of the recent school budget cuts.
"We can't continue in this backward trend," he said. "The educational system is so valuable that it deserves all the funding the people of Kansas can possibly give."

Both were left in conference committee.
"Each individual institution no longer gives an individual pitch. We have one list of priorities backed by all six state institutions," be said.
down the drain." He also expressed disappointment that in one year so much damage could be done that would take years to be overcome.
He said the concept of the six schools being in one system was important because the state could not afford, for example, two separate programs in computer science.
Jess Stewart
Stewart cited a new joint program for a doctorate in computer science between the University of Kansas and Kansas State University as the number one priority on that list.
The 46-year-old Academicist is chairman of the board's Academic Committee, which is in charge of all new programs offered at the six state colleges and universities.
Stewart said the Board's new system for proposing programs was important because it provided a state-wide basis for new programs.
Stewart said that graduate education was about five times as expensive as undergraduate education, so that it was "very hard" to graduate in program programs when possible.
"I think this is a major breakthrough in, we are well planning for higher education," Steve Witty said.
He said the new computer science program was also a breakthrough in cooperation with the K-State and K-State has kU had cooperative program development with Ohio State University but never with K-State.
Stewart is also a member of the Extension Committee, which is concerned with
correspondence courses and continuing education.
"Who is to say," he said, "whether education should end at the baccalaureate level, the doctorate level or whether it can end at all."
*Continuing education is gaining in importance and status and we are looking for the right candidate.*
ALTHOUGH LAWMAKERS passed adjustments for higher education, they refused to restore some $3 million in cuts from the school's budgets.
Stewart compared his work in higher education as a member of the Board of Regents to going back to school. He said it is important that he keep up with changes in higher education.
"I think a regent can devote just about as much to he wants, he said."
Before accepting his appointment to the Board, Stewart decided that, "If I was going to be president," he had to say,
Stewart said he read a great deal on higher education and talked with as many people as possible to keep up communication with faculty and students.
Stewart said that since he has a young family, he is especially interested in higher education and in the betterment of the system.
Gov. Robert B. Docking had appealed to the legislature Monday to restore the cuts for the schools, as well as for welfare and statewide sewage treatment construction.
About the Board members, Stewart said, "I think we are nine different people. We do have a very unique set of goals."
Stewart said he did not think he had too many hang-ups on personalities. He said he might not agree with a person on one point but vote with that member on something else.
Stewart said when the regens had differences, they got input and, if possible, worked out those differences before the meetings.
"Even if the final vote seems unanimous it doesn't mean our work has been unanimous," he said. "But much harm could be done to us by picturing a bickering, fighting Board."
"I think understanding, not tolerance, is a key word in our relations," he said. "Tolerance assumes that something is wrong."
U.S. Sees Hope In Israeli Reply
By United Press International
A. U.S. State Department spokesman said Tuesday Israel's approach to Egypt offer "a basis for further negotiations" on reopening the Suez Canal.
Dipolitic sources in Washington and Jerusalem said Israel sought guarantees from the United States that Russian and Egyptian forces would not cross the canal if Israeli troops pull back from the east bank of the waterway.
The sources in Jerusalem said the Israeli proposal also called for an unlimited ceasefire in the Suez Canal zone, demilitarization of the canal area and shipment on any international force that would police Israel. $\wedge$Ad, they said, Israel warned it would retaliate if the Egyptians or Soviets violated any commitments.

Troops Scout Valley Near Laos
SAIGON (UPI)—U.S. and South Vietnamese forces conducted air and ground reconnaissance operations in and around the A Shan Valley Tabbey, and field reports said the bodies of 29 Communist soldiers were sighted.
But there was no major fighting in that area near the Laos border.
Military sources said American and South Vietnamese troops were establishing bases and securing supply lines in preparation for the invasion. In the A Shau Valley in more than 18 months.

Gen. Creighton W. Abrams, the U.S.
Vietnam commander, said while Thieu was

South Vietnamese headquarters in Saigon declined comment Tuesday on the A Shau operation, saying only "there has been no contact." A spokesman recalled the 45-day South Vietnamese offensive into Laos which ended April 8 and told newsmen:
"We didn't have anything to say for two weeks because there was no contact. We were getting the bases and the supplies ready. We are doing the same thing now."
On the first day of the A Shaun campaign, the spokesman said, men of South Vietnam's elite Black Panther unit found the bodies of nine Communist soldiers and three Soviet-built trucks. All nine were reported to have been killed by allied air strikes.
Courts Provide Desegregation
WASHINGTON (UPI) — A unanimous Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger armed federal judges Tuesday a broad arsenal of legal weapons, such as bullets and gunning, "to eliminate from the public schools all students of state-imposed segregation."
The guidelines spelled out by Burger were also partially at odds with several basic desegregation concepts advocated by the Nixon administration.
The series of four desegregation decisions—all by Burger—was viewed as having the greatest impact of any school ruling since the outlawed separate but equal schools in 1954.
All four opinions dealt with Southern school situations. One struck down a North Carolina law barring busing to force integration. Two others reversed rulings by the Georgia court that authorized courts in county which nullified integration plans in Mobile County, Ala., and Clarke County, Ga.
BUT THE MAIN vehicle of the Supreme Court's edict was a case involving the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system—the largest in North Carolina.
The court said that if school authorities taled to meet their obligations to integrate students, the court said.
scope of a district court's equitable power to remedy past wrongs is broad."
Courts have the power to require bussing. Some objections may be valid if the time or distance of travel is so great as to risk the safety of others. Courts may also or significantly hamper the educational process.
Each school need not reflect the racial composition of the system as a whole, but at least one school should be representative.
Pairing and grouping of zones which do not have common boundaries are permissible.
District courts may alter school attendance zones as an interim corrective measure.
EXISTENCE OF a few one-race schools does not in itself mean segregation by law, but the situation should be scrutinized carefully.
School boards and district courts must see that future school construction or abandon of old schools are not used to perpetrate or restablish desegregated systems.
"A district court may and should consider all available techniques including restructuring of attendance zones and both contiguous and noncontiguous attendance zones, Burger said."
"The measure of any desegregation plan is its effectiveness."
The chief justice and his eight colleagues also sanctioned a measure of deliberately overturning the 1992 case.
The Burger opinion said: "School authorities have wide discretion in formulating school policy and, as a matter of educational policy, school authorities may be given a kind of racial balance in the schools is deceived apart from any constitution requirements."
ATTORNEY GENERAL John N. Mitchell went to the White House in the afternoon to meet President Obama.
Afterwards, White House Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler said, "The Supreme Court has acted and its decision . . . is now the law of the land."
U. S. troops are barred from Laos under Pentagon policy designed to "Vietnamize"
He said it is "now up to local school authorities and school districts to carry out"
But the Burger findings were at variance with some of Nixon's stated views.
On March 24, 1970, the President declared himself opposed to extreme steps such as massive bussing or large-scale switching of pupil assignments.
The vital ruling dealt only with de jure segregation—that which is imposed by law, and did not touch on de facto segregation, but which springs up from neighborhood patterns.
Lon Nol Resignation Seen As Attempt to Alter Cabinet
PHINOM PENH (UP1)—Col. Lon Non said Tuesday that the resignation of his brother, Prime Minister Lon Nel, was a device to reorganize his cabinet and that he would probably remain as Cambodia's prime minister.
Lon Non said he doubted that his brother's resignation would be accepted.
Lon Nol and his cabinets submitted their resignations to chief of state Cheng Heng, earlier in the day, reliable political sources said.
The majority of his friends, including
To do this, the constitution required that the government resign, Lon Non said. He said there had been no pressure from the military软性 communities for his brother to resign.
He said that when Lon Nol returned to Phnom Penh April 12 after two months of treatment for a stroke in Hondoula he turned down the decision to fire more than half of his cabin.
military men, civilians, youth and religious personalities do not wish him to resign," Lon Non said.
Integration Bill Given to Senate
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Sen. Abraham Riacoff, D-Donna, declared that racial apartheid threatened to become an American way of life, proposed a bill Monday which he said would lead to the integration of all big city schools-North and South-within 10 years.
Rubicoff, a former secretary of health, education and welfare under John F. Kennedy, introduced his proposal as the Senate began debating a bill that would authorize school districts facing extraordinary expenses because of their efforts to integrate.
