2 Thursday, March 25.1971 University Daily Kansan KANSAN comment Pollution Is Our Problem The Kansas Senate voted down two anti-pollution bills Tuesday. The bills, sponsored by Norman Garr, R-Westwood, would have been a sound step in the right direction for this disappointing session of the legislature. One of the bills would have prohibited further pollution of the air past present levels. The other bill would have placed a fee of up to $15,000 on air polluters to pay for monitoring air pollution. The Chamber of Commerce was also included in the opposition. They claimed it would discourage industry from locating in Kansas. Garr said he believed the public utilities in Kansas were responsible, in part, for mustering the opposition to the bills. Gaar contends that many of the legislators are ignorant of the facts of pollution in Kansas and have been duped by powerful interest groups. Whatever the situation, it is becoming obvious the legislators are only paying lip-service to the concept of a clean environment. there are many factors contributing to the confusion and fear that surrounds the environmental problems of the State. The legislators, unduly delicate about offending or discouraging industry in Kansas, have made themselves the patsy of the big-business interests. It is true that industry may locate sooner in a state that doesn't hold them liable for ruining the environment—but Kansans should go only so far in making the state a lucrative site for these industries. We have gone too far when the thought of new industry eclipses concern for the real wealth of the state—its land, air and water. Think twice the next time The Kansas Power and Light Co. or the Chamber of Commerce sponsors an advertisement touting the clean air and water of the Sunflower State. You might even write them a nasty letter. —Tom Slaughter Role of Press in Raids By TERRY MURPHY Editor, Chanute Tribune It is a cardinal rule in reporting public affairs that you report no fewer than two sides in any controversy. It is done in the name of fairness. For the reading public to comprehend what has happened and why, no lesser effort will suffice. That the Kansas press attempted to do this on the raid into Lawrence is plain. I doubt, however, that those of us outside Lawrence succeeded. Papers at Lawrence have been supplying readers the background and variety of views basic to understanding what has been happening there since the raid, as well as before. Perhaps with time, more people will come to understand the events at Lawrence in the context that provides understanding comparable to that of those who experienced it. That will require lots of talking, digging, reporting, interpreting, not to mention opening of minds. But one important part of the raid itself shall never be known. It had to be captured at the time or be lost forever. I refer to the "other side's" pictorial account of the raid. We shall not see the photographed expressions on the faces of those who entered private homes, sometimes with search warrants, other times merely seeking a name to go with an arrest warrant. Missing are the visions seen by those who were invaded that led them to call the raid "gestapo-like." Forever lost. The police point of view was illustrated and played on the front pages. Not so for the "other side." There is nothing new in this one-sided reporting. For those who insist on the importance of being part of raiding parties, it is unavoidable. Perhaps the presence of news media representatives did prevent physical abuse. If so, it served a positive function. But such participatory journalism brings its benefits at a very high price. Being part of a raiding party makes you just that. From public watch dog to police dog—in one quick leap. What role then does make sense for the press? As a starting point, I prefer that the press shun participation in raiding parties. For one thing, they have no legal right to be there. But mostly I object because it blunts the capacity to report both sides with objectivity. It is unprofessional. Quotes in the News Bv United Press International MANILA-Philippine President Ferdinand E.

The Lighter Side The Sensuous Blurb Writer By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI)—Now the "Bitch" from "B'Mer," who has joined "B'M" has joined the *Sexual Woman* by "J" on the best-seller lounge publishing pattern The books by "J" and "M" adopt the premise that you don't have to have classic features, a well proportioned body and eyes to attract the opposite sex. You need are a few sensitious lessons. The game plan obviously is to publish an entire alphabet of sex manuals under pseudonyms initials. So before all of the letters above, I like to reserve a place for "the Bairn Burb Writer" by "W." As one of the blurbs for "The Sensuous Man" puts it: "Too old? ... Too fat? ... Too tired? "too fat!" "too tired!" "you don't need it" Even if you are short, boungeed and stutter—you can still become a superb and sau-gffer lover." The book by "W" is being cast in the same mold. Its message is that you don't have to have any books but you need to write sensuous book blurs. Even if you habitually split infinitives, leave participles dangling, and can spell very well because you can become tingling and illuring blurted. The know how is provided in. such chapters as "seductive dots" "the letter $" and "erotic question marks ? ? ? "The chapter on dots alone should be worth the price of the book - $8 - everywhere." It begins. "Pick a time when you have at least an hour to yourself and not unlikely to be interrupted.

Regent William Allen White criticized the Kanans's attack on Governor Stubbs' proposed cut of $40,000 from University of Kansas appropriations. 45 Years Ago Today—1926 A Kansan survey indicated that "any intelligent speaker who has a message to present and who speaks with authority on the subject" is located in the campus of the University of Kansan."
