Reflections
Kansas Staff photographer Jim Hoffman captured the lights of the Houston Astronaut in a most unusual manner—off the reflections of a
spare camera lens placed directly on the playing court. The pentagonal group of lights in the center of the lens were used to light the playing floor, while the small rim of light below the pentagons is the reflection of lights used for TV cameras. The small lines radiating out from the pentagonal are reflections from the ceiling. See related story Page 6.
Campus Exodus Alters Committee

More than half of the students enrolled at the University of Kansas live in off-campus housing. For the past ten years students have been required to live in apartments or houses to live in apartments and companies.
This movement has changed the role of the Student Senate Off-Campus Housing Committee from that of a complaint board to that of an educator of students towards adequate housing, William M. Balfour, vice chancellor and chairman of the chairman said recently.
"For many years we were looking for methods of upgrading student housing."
Ballou said, "Our committee set up and distributed the model lease and made the Lawrence Housing Code available to students."
The model lease shows the student wishing to live off campus what to expect or demand in housing. The housing code states the student must agree to continue meeting his property. It also says that if five persons, not of the same household, file a petition charging "a dwelling unfit for human habitation," "a public health inspector will inspect the building for
Bailour said that matters of student safety are covered by a compliant form which is
turned in to the office of Student Affairs. He then reviews the complaint with the Off-Campus Housing Committee and sends it to the City Inspector.
"He has been very cooperative in these matters," Balfour said. "We don't get many complaints as I would like. ... I'm sure there are unsafe places around."
Bailour said he planned to have the Senate Code amended to require a student chairman of the Off-Campus Housing Committee. The new code would now the vice chancellor of student affairs.
"I think that student committees should have student chairman," he said.
76 wounded in Fighting
33 Dead at U.S. Base In Year's Worst Battle
The combat base at Khe Sanh, nine miles from Laos and 14 miles south of the DMZ, was hit by nearly 25 rounds of 122mm artillery fire Saturday night but the U.S. Command said there were no casualties or material damage.
SAIGON (UPI)—Communitist troops swept through the perimeter of a U.S. base early Sunday and killed 32 American soldiers in the battle involving U.S. troops in more than a year.
Seventeen roundts of artillery and mortar shells struck the U.S. Army fire support base Vandergraft 10 miles northeast of Khe San Sday, blowing up part of an ammunition dump and destroying motor fuel. The Van also was hit by 15 rounds Saturday.
Two helicopters were damaged and four crewmen injured at Vandergift Sunday, but
"An enemy force of undetermined size," including commandos, charged under cover and mortar barrage. U.S. spokesmen called the operation located in rugged Quin Tung Provinc, 319 miles northwest of Saigon but well south of Saigon where most recent of the actions has centred.
Seventy-six Americans were wounded, the U.S. Command said. It claimed 12 Commandants.
The U.S. Command also listed an OH6 "Cayuse" observation helicopter shot down in Laos while flying reconnaissance for the handful of South Vietnamese troops still in that country. One crewman was injured, but all crewmen were recaptured by other commanders.
U. S. soldiers managed to hold their ground and were still in control of the area amid attacks, attack helicopters, jet fighters and artillery fire were called in to help the embattled
"We haven't been able to find a single-day casualty figure that as high as this attack has been."
U. S. headquarters' regular Monday morning battle communique listed five Communist attacks on American troops in the Kshan Same area, with the loss of four U.S. dead and wounded. Americans are still disintermling Kshan Same and are preparing to abandon it.
The attack involved troops of the hard-luck American Division.
Officers said the casualties were the heaviest伤 recipient in a single battle in more than a decade.
There were conflicting reports about whether it was caused by Communist fire or an act of terrorism.

Demonstrators in Saigon Urge Invasion of N. Vietnam
★
SAIGON (UPI)—A thousand pro-government demonstrators marched to city hall in Calgary on Sunday, urging that South Vietnam invade North Vietnam.
After the march, four youths on a motorcycle threw a firebomb into the plant of a gas company in Morning News, which is critical of the government. Some newsprint was destroyed.
Combat police set up a bivouac at the
National Assembly Building to prevent a march to that structure. Their commander said "science the government has not yet made sense" and "they must defend against any such demonstration."
An informed U.S. source said the abrupt end of the South Vietnamese incursion into Laos and Washington's chilly reception to invasion talk had ended any thought in the South Vietnamese government of such an invasion.
Miller Defends Agents As Needed Positions
TOPEKA (UPI)—Kansas Attorney General Vern Miller issued a statement late Friday morning in response to statements made by State Rep. Bob Miller, R-Wellington, who said that over 400 cards committing persons as "special agents of the attorney general."
The attorney general's statement: "The commissioning of special agents is a power vested by law in this office. It has been my practice in the past and shall continue to be my practice in the future to make such applications necessary. The commissions made by this office since I became attorney general have all been because the law so requires, or pursuant to requests, and only then after being fully advised and satisfied that the commissioning is in need of the commission and will act in a responsible manner once commissioned."
Collective Bargaining Suggested for Faculty
ton," Rep. Miller, 281, referring to the latter. In a statement issued later Friday morning, Rep. Miller said, "My first thought was, 'is this a new practice of something that has always gone on?' After checking, it appears that during the tenure of the two previous commissioners generally approximately 35 commissioning cards were issued, plus a 1998 card for railroad policemen to have this power and 42 of these were issued as of December."
He said that the seven members of the State board of Pharmacy have been given cards by the governor.

A national representative of the American Association of University Professors (AUAP) told the University of Kansas AUAP chapter Friday that the organization would, if asked, help the KU chapter obtain legislation favorable to the use of collective bargaining.
She said the AAPU wanted to avoid the traditional union model where the faculty was involved in decision making.
The representative, Margaret Rumbarger of the Washington, D.C., AAUP office, said the organization did not officially advocate the use of collective bargaining in education. However, she said, the AAUP had backed faculties that had chosen to use it.
She said she thought collective bargaining could be useful in helping faculty members keep their traditional roles. Academic freedom and tenure and grievance procedures were areas in which faculties could gain by its use.
Mrs. Rumburger told the KU chapter that they should be "ready to lobby and to testify, to be sure that any legislation that's passed is good."
Rep. Miller said when he contacted Miller about the cards, "The attorney general told me that individuals he personally knows and are valuable to the work of his office have them."
of the university was out of their hands. Many people worry that facilities will demand higher salaries "when there's just no money there," she said.
Mrs. Rumbarger said the cost of bargaining for a contract was usually financed by heavy local dues paid by chapter members. She said she thought there should be "a mechanism by which someone who doesn't want to join the contract can consciously object." However, the person could be able to enjoy the benefits of the contract without paying dues," she said.
Mrs. Rumbarger recommended the use of strikes only if there was an actual impediment to the educational function of the faculty. Faculties should not, she said, just walk out everyone they don't get just exactly what they want in a contract.
Troops Fire on Women Demonstrating in Amman
AAUP has a knowledge of what higher education is about that other groups don't have, according to Mrs. Rumbarger. She said the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association were also becoming involved in collective bargaining.
"A strike is no routine weapon in the arsenal," she said.
He said after his inquiry, the reporter still had questions so he visited the attorney general's office. "When he asked how many, he told it was老了 no of his business. When he asked what training they had, he was told, 'Some are trained, some aren't.' He asked about pay and was told, 'Some are and some aren't.'"
AMMAN, Jordan (UPI)-Jordanian army troops fired on a large group of women and schoolgirls demonstrating in downtown Amman Sunday. Killing at least three of
Hospital spokesmen confirmed the casualties, but there were conflicting reports about the incident between the government and Palestinian guerrillas.
A government spokesman said the demonstrators were being used as a "human barricade" by guerrilla trying to attack police positions and that the troops only fired shots into the air to disperse them. He denied that any of the women or girls were injured.
A woman in the demonstration said "several hundred women" and schoolgirls were marching in protest towards King Michael on Sunday morning when the incident occurred.
A guerrilla spokesman said there was no commando involvement in the group, organized to protest against three days of fighting between Palestinians and army fighters.
"All of a sudden there was shooting all of our up," she said. She shots seemed to be coming out of the shutter.

Rep. Miller continued, "This didn't sound like responsible government so I asked the attorney general for the same information and got the same answer."
Rep. Miller said he began investigating the commissioning of special agents of the attorney general after a reporter for the University Daily Kansas, Richard Larimore, furnished him with a copy of a letter received by two persons commissioned in February
The first-term representative said the letter given to him by farimore, a high school classmate, was addressed to a Wichitr resident.

Firing quickly spread to other parts of the city, and most shops and schools closed their doors. The shooting did not tap off until late in the afternoon.
