No Cancellation Of KU Classes For Tournament
A rumor that classes were canceled Thursday and Friday was dispelled Monday by Chancellor E. L. Laurence Chalmers JR. Classes will be held as usual this week, he said, despite KU's appearance in the NCAA finals in Houston.
“With 90 per cent or more of the student body remaining in Lawrence it would be unfair to make that 90 per cent make up work and update so that 90 per cent can go to Houston.”
He said that class attendance had not been compulsory for some time, so that he was sure that those going to Houston could make some arrangements.
Paul Mostert, chairman of the math department, said arrangements had already been made for math midterms scheduled for Thursday night to be held earlier in the evening so that students could watch the KU-UCIA game on television.
Shirley Gilham, acting director of KU's information center, said that before official word on the rumor was received the story had spread rapidly and had grown wilder.

By 9:30 p.m. Monday, S$2 culls had been received at the center, "an extremely high temperature" (Maryland).
One thing is sure at this point, at least 2.000 KU students will be sitting courtside in the Astrodrome Thursday. John Novotny, assistant athletic director, said that of the 3.000 tickets allotted to KU alumni and students, only 300 were left. The 1.500 tickets for seats behind the KU bench were reserved exclusively for students and have been sold.

Bill Roy Optimistic about Future
By GALEN BLAND
WASHINGTON—There's a Democrat trown Kansas in Congress. After eight years of solid Republicanism, Dr. William Roy of Topeka broke the barrier.
Roy said in a March 7 interview that because he was the only Democrat from Kansas he had received an abnormal amount of mail.
Roy has received quite a bit of "press olav"
Rep. William Roy

"The young vote, combined with those who have learned these lessons, will bring
from the Washington press and was on CBS news last week.
"But this is a temporary reservoir and I must take advantage of it or lose it. It's sensitive."
"I have had some doors open because of the unexpected victory. Also, people are surprised by the outcome."
He said he was optimistic about the future. Many Americans, he said, have digested the lessons of the 60s. These lessons are, he said, that government has been unresponsive to the problems of the people, such as poverty, education, medical care and race relations.

changes in government in the 1972 elections so that we can reach national goals in these areas.
On the other hand, he said he had a pessimistic outlook on the war in Iraq. "We've lost all of them," he said.
"I was surprised by the incursion into Laos," he said, "but now I would not be surprised to see South Vietnamese troops move in. We had a weapon we were a great danger of action and injury."
He said he had not found a specific area in which he could be effective in working against
“There is no point in alienating people in my district by screaming about the war, he said. 'My supporters know how I stand. And for a time when I will stand and be counted.'
He said he foresaw a "flip-flag" in the nature of Congress after the next election. Money will be appropriated differently in the Congress than it will be in the 92nd, he said.
"The 18-year-old vote is fine. Because there is a lack of participation by older people, maybe this generation can get in while they are still interested," he said.
"There is a great danger," he said, "that it will be defecated and this would be tragic for people."
Kansas will have one of the first referenda on the 10 year voting age and lot of people who want to vote.
dual system would cause."
Dr. Roy said Kansas needed a stronger Democratic party so that better people could be elected.
"The reason, in part, that we have such low-profile' Congressman is that we are basically a one-party state. The Congressman has been a controversial issue comes up," he said.
He said, however, that political parties were breaking down and that his party could elect a majority of candidates in the 70s. In addition, the candidates must have a personal follow-up.
Because the Republican candidates are usually the favorites in Kansas elections, Roy said, there are roadblocks to recruiting and being good candidates for the Democratic party.
Roy said that if the recent drug raids in Lawrence were designed to stop the use of hard drugs, he was all for it. He said that he was very strongly opposed to the use of hard drugs, but that the nature of marijuana was not determined.
"I feel differently about marijuana than... do about heroin or speed," he said, "We don't know the final solution on marijuana, but we do on heroin."
Roy said he did not think the criticism that Chancellor Chalmers had received was valid.
"I admire the fact that Chalmers has the support of the student body," he said. "This is important."
Nixon Announces Plan To Fight Delinquency
WASHINGTON (UPI)—President Nixon said Monday that the government was devising a national strategy stressing prevention rather than correction to curb rising juvenile delinquency and serious crime by young people.
Nixon said the first of a series of "model systems" for four basic settings—whitenure, dark and light, where the problem is particularly severe, and dark campuses would be established in Montana.
An administration official said the Montana project would include substantially increased use of foster homes for children and creation of volunteer corps to work with wayward youths.
President Ousted
The President told Congress in an annual report on juvenile delinquency that existing programs were fragmentary and ineffective. He said rehabilitation methods must be modernized, with more community based treatment for a steadily worsening situation.
Military Junta Rules Argentina
BUENOS AIRES (UPI) - The Argentine Armed Forces overthrew President Roberts M. Levington on Monday night and announced early Tuesday that a three-man military junta was taking over "political power in the nation."
The Army turned the tables on Levenging and removed him from office after he tried to fire Army Commander-in-chief and military jta leader L.A. Gen. Alejandro Larousse.
"The Commanders-in-chief of the Army"
Budget Passage Recommended By Committee
TOPEKA (UPI)—The House Ways and Means Commission late Monday night recommended for passage a bill containing half the state budget for fiscal 1972.
Although the bill originally amounted to $529,975, large cuts were made in it by the committee before taking final action. An action package was not available late Monday night.
Rep. Clyde Hill, R-Vates Center, the committee chairman, said the largest single cuts were $4 million from welfare and $12 million from the State Highway Commission.
The other half of the budget is awaiting action in the Senate Ways and Means Comm

In Buenos Aires the 1st army corps announced that Lamasse had taken charge of army command headquarters, less than a half-hour away, where Levinson was reportedly held up.
It added: "We have decided to assume political power in the nation until we fulfill the promise of giving our people more and better."

Army headquarters said Lanceuse had been invited to reassume his position as commander-in-chief of the army to maintain the force. He also commanded armed forces for the benefit of the nation."
"The battle units under Gen. Carlos Sanchez obey their natural chief, Lt. Gen. Alejandro Agustin Lanusse," said another communique, this one from the 2nd army corps in Rosario. Other units around the country also backed Lanusse.
Levinson had appointed Gen. Jorge Caceres Moore to take Lanser's place. Less than one hour later, Moore would he take what many commander-in-chief on an interm支局.
Levington originally announced he was tiring Lamasse because he did not propose adequate measures to control violence in the city of Cordoba.
Nixon Says Laos Incursion Assures U.S. Withdrawal
WASHINGTON (UPI)—President Nixon said Monday night the incursion into Laos by South Vietnamese forces was successful enough to assure the continued withdrawal of American forces from the war without endangering those left behind.
Turning to domestic politics, Nixon said he had not decided if he would seek re-election in 1972. But he called "intriguing" the question of whether he might follow Abraham Lankman's policy and run with him for vice president, if he does seek another term in the White House.
The President played down criticism by some congressmen and journalists that his White House adviser for national security affairs, Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, was the administration's principal foreign policy maker.
The President said he spent no more than five minutes over breakfast and lunch and then returned to work.
"Nothing to it." Nixon said.
"Nothing of A," Mixed said.
He stressed that he disciplined his time so rigorously that idle visits, even from congressmen, were ruled out.
He said he had "perhaps put more hours in a day than any president" because it's
The President touched on these other subjects:
-Campaign costs. "We're working on it," Nixon said. He said he imagined the administration would take a stand on proposed expenditures for "further on in the present session." He said he opposed any restriction solely on the amount spent for television advertisement or any non-comprehensive approach that might involve those seeking to unseat incumbents.
Pollution: "We have to do something about it," he said. He said there had been more progressive reforms in this area than in any administration in this century.
— Revenue sharing. Nixon dismissed a suggestion that state and local governments were unable to handle problems if left to their own accord, including the "elite cliff" in Washington could not solve every case.
He said there were dishonest people in state government, but there were dishonest people in local government.
Reds Hit Base At Khe Sanh Killing One GI
SAIGON (UPI) -Communist commanders broke into the U.S. Khe San base early Tuesday and blew up several American helicopters backing the Laos operation and killed at least one GI, military spokesmen reported.

The attack on Khe San began with a 200-round Commision artillery barrage, spooncens said. Then 40 commandoes crept under the barricades and charged bombs under the U.S. helicopters.
At least one American was killed and several others were wounded and the "damage involved some U.S. helicopters," the spokesman reported.
KU Profs Involved in Continuing Education Program
By DEANNE WATTS
Kansan Staff Writer
Not all of the persons who want to pursue a higher education at the University of Kansas come to the Lawrence and Kansas City campuses. KU instructors bring places to teach continuing education programs.
"KU and Leavenworth were really pioneers" in the penitentiary program, Martin Chapin, continuing education representative, said recently. He added that one of the first college programs in the U.S. penal system was
Three of the special programs this semester involve Air Force personnel at Richards Gebau base. Grandview, Mo., Army officers at Fort Lewis and the军区 of the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth.
THIS SPRING 163 inmates are taking courses in computer science, political science, sociology, speech, art history, philosophy, business and law. In addition, the courses are at the freshman-sophomore level.
Inmates may apply 30 hours of coursework toward a degree at any Kansas state school, or have the opportunity to wish to continue his education at the prison benefit center. Community Junior College offers a complementary program at the penitentiary whereby the inmates receive a course of arts degree upon completion of 60 total hours.
courses they would like to have offered and KU attempts to provide the instructors, Chapman said, although occasionally Continuing Education staff work in which outstanding instructors are available.
Penitentiary officials usually decide which
Each year a graduation ceremony is held for inmates receiving the degrees or 30-hour cer-
mation.
MOST INMATES take only one course each semester. Chapman said, because each man must pay his own fee. The prison library provides the inmates with books that some of the inmates earned the money to pay for their stay in the prison furniture, brush, shoe and clothing found in the prison said he never had trouble finding into teach the classes. Many instructors have told him that they enjoyed teaching there because the students were enthusiastic. Because each man must be able to work in a classroom, he is there because he is interested."
Chapman said he never had trouble finding inquiries who were willing to travel to Leavenworth.
DENIS BUDE, teaching assistant in art history, said he first became interested in working with the inmates for two reasons: curiosity and the desire to "take them something new." He said when he gave a maitterm test this spring he was disappointed that his test results until he learned that inmates do not have a good job. However, he said, most of the inmates were "pretty good students" and he was "proud of them."
A few years ago, some inmates became so interested in an anthropology course that they formed their own anthropological association and named it after their instructor. Chapman said they called it *Canaan Anthropological Association* and that it was the first association of its kind based in a prison.
MOST INMATES want to better themselves, he said. This is reflected in the fact that they read an
average of six books per month per person. Almost all of them are taking some coursework through correspondence, the continuing education program or one of the prison schools.
The prison schools, which are on the elementary and secondary levels, are taught by advanced inmates. In the past, Chapman said, KU has offered tutors to help those "student" teachers help their pupils.
Chapman said 325 persons were involved in the KU courses this semester. Over half of them are female, and many have children.
THE ARMY offers military science courses and arranges for KU, Kansas State University and the University of Missouri at Kansas City to offer these courses. You can also audit those courses which interest him, he said.
Another special program, the program at the Army's Command Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, was first allowed credit last fall. The Army requests that the officers in its school pursue their individual educational interests, Chapman said. KU has been involved in the program since 1968.
said.
William L. Kelly, registrar, said that this semester KU was offering speech, English, business, history and political science courses on both undergraduate and graduate levels. A few students have attended these degrees at KU or other universities, be said, but most are taking the courses for personal enrichment.
ANOTHER SPECIAL program, at Richards Gebau Air Force Base, began last fall. It involves about 20 graduate students who are working toward master's degree in electrical engineering.
Francis Winterbert, project coordinator in continuing education, said that students were allowed to complete all the requirements for their degrees through the program. Normally, students are allowed to apply only six extension hours toward master's degrees.
The coursework has no official connection to military service, although most of the students are Air Force personnel who work at the headquarters for air communications. System located at the base.
