Question: Mr. Kant-do, question: Mr. Attorney General you've been quoted as saying that Kant-do's howling, bingo and bad college kids. Would you comment on that sir? comment on tax law Attorney General: Uhh! question: Well, how do you feel about the recent criticism levied at you for your alleged creation of a "secret police force" to pay off political debts incurred in the recent election? Is it true sir? question: I see. In that order sir? Attorney General: Uhh! depraved were those hippie drug users you nabbed in Lawrence last month? You got the big fella didn't you sir? Attorney General: Uhh. Attorney General: Uhh! Question: Moving along, Sir, just how Question: Sir, is it true that the only Governor Kingdock supported you in the election was to secure your votes from Whitchaw? **Question:** What about the criticism you've received for not dealing with the really serious problems in Kant-do? I mean, are there any problems in Kant-do that require him than bingo or bowling? Are things here that simple? Attorney General: Uh? Votes from Whiteman Attorney General: Uhh. —Tom Slaughter Question: Thank-you sir. The Cost of Delusion Many of us have had a bellyfull of the caterwauling at Topea, particularly when its spreads to the precincts. Reprinted from the Salina Journal: The other day, Governor Docking went out to Iola and castigated the Legislature in a violent speech, saying: "This session has been the one on which we organized and inefficient legislative session since I have been governor." To put the issues in perspective, Emerson Lynn printed in his Iola Register, on the same day that Docking was in town, the following week. This particular publication has generated this bittersess and futility has been generated in Kansas, Lynn wrote: Economy in government makes a great campaign pitch. When the knife falls, however, blood flows. demonstrate in government. It caused the governor to throw a bissy-fit. This is economy in government "By killing this proposal, the Legislature is turning its back on the pressing problems of highway traffic accidents, deaths and injuries, drunken driving and controlling civil disturbances," said Docking. Maybe, and maybe not. Highway accidents were fewer in Kansas last year than the year before and have not increased alarmingly this year. But the point is here that it is one thing to talk about economy in general and quite another to talk about cutting funds for a particular project. It favors the former; opinion divides sharply when one gets down to cases. There is no way to cut the budget as a whole, to get economy in government, without reducing expenditures in it. I think we can't make it, but can't be made to add up to three. For three straight elections Governor Docking has promised he would work precisely this magic. During the first four years he was able to make it seem as though the did have a fair wizard. Alas, there was a trick to it all. First, he had nearly $100 million in surplus bequeathed him by Gov. Bill Avery. Next, he fought increasing state aid to schools and watched as property taxes across the state climbed sky-high to pick up the slack. Thirdly, the Legislature was unwilling to go along and appropriated the funds they felt were necessary to keep the state perking along. All three of these conditions are missing now. The surplus is gone, the governor's tax lid sits on the property levy and the Legislature has finally acquiesced to the public demand for economy. So, Governor Docking's budget, which was not adequate, will be cut by the Legislature still farther. This will mean damage to good programs. It will mean postponement of needed improvements, both at state and local levels. It will mean faithful employees of the state will not receive cost of increasing the degree of mean investment capitalization in important endeavors such as pollution control and industrial development; prison reform and mental health; recreation and vocational education. And it will mean that on some tomorrow when Kansas decides to return to the task of providing for the future of its citizens, the cost of keeping them at home has will have to be paid all at once in a staggering tax increase. We have followed the Pied Piper. This is his fee. News Briefs MOSCOW (UP1) — The bones of a mammoth that lived 11,000 or 12,000 years ago have been found in the park where the Soviet news agency Tsas said Thursday.

The only nearly-complete record of publications is in two five-drawer file cabinets in the library. The records do not include those records do not include publications of former faculty members and are based on the archives. In addition, which merely request and do not require the mention of faculty A list of all faculty publications, though admittedly incomplete, was published by the Office of University Relations from 1826 to 1965, and is in its own right not updated; it seemed then because of the difficulty . of compiling and publishing a such list. Mrs. June Michal, administrative assistant to the Office of Academic Affairs, was a mammoth job and involved enormous amount of time and effort. The library has no way of knowing when a faculty member publishes a book, unless that person or his department inform them, or unless the University Kansas publishes it. (Two free online University Press book are sent to all Kansas state colleges). A search to check out the disposition of other faculty publications in relation to the material needed in a deal of frustration. Information obtained from the Office of Academic Affairs, the Office of Library and Information reference librarian, the book selection officer, the University Press of Kansas, and assorted records, revealed the following: And, Miss Symons later stated that one primary purpose of the library system is to "support the teacher's function of the library."

The only copy of the 401-page book in the library is one owned by the professor. By Sokoloff "Copyright 1971, David Sokoloff." The Archives in Spencer Research Library has just begun to publish publications, past and present. The only means they have of knowing current publications, according Nugent, Archives director, is from either being told, seeing it advertised, or receiving one copy of the publication. If a library if it is published by the University Press of Kansas. of such an attempt with this lack of a dependable source of information. He also said that most archives have such a collection. On the basis of this information, and with a fairly accurate knowledge of the factors involved, this reporter would make the following suggestions in response to the two basic problems discussed. publications. Also, some faculty fail to turn these in each year. An estimation of the number of briefed books and the average length of time they have been written by the library to obtain because of the complications involved. However, it would seem, at least to this extent, that better spent employing the means to fully utilize the resources on hand rather than spending approximately $343,000 on a book, $80,000 books, which merely increase the problem. (These figures were obtained from John F. McGraw, Jr., editor of the library, and Miss Symons.) The first problem, involving the failure to fully catalogue a faculty publication for two years, is that the student or another more staff or a more efficient means of cataloguing were employed. The book circulation chart for the department aren't fully catalogued, are briefly listed. This means that one card, filed only under the department, can be placed on the card file. It is assigned a meaningless number, which is placed on the card. The person who places the card gives that number to someone at the circulation desk. The circulation personnel then pull the numbers, usually twice a day. The second problem, the need for publications and the difficulty in compiling such a list, might best be solved by using the following 1. Require faculty members to list all publications on a full table of topics and provide spaces labeled according to publication (article, book, etc.). This would give the problem of categorizing to the author, who is responsible for them. 2. Require these reports to be handed in when due, giving the publication page to the respective departmental secretary. Griff & the Unicorn These four steps, though still subject to the difficulties of getting faculty members to list publications and hand in their reports on time, seems to be best achieved by involving them involved in compiling such a list, which is both needed and desired by, at least, some students. this, one for the records of that office, one for the archives, one for the library personnel in charge of ordering that category of publications, and one, which covers, for display near the front entrance of Watson library for those interested. 3. Require this secretary to compile a list of publications in each category of her department. 4. Send this list to the Office of Academic Affairs or the Office of University Relations, where the research combined according to the category.
