Former KU Student
Publisher Sees SDS Drop
By RICHARD VERHAGE Kansas Staff Writer
Today's student radical may be tomorrow's voice of the establishment, said 28-year-old

During a recent interview, Wilcox, publisher of "Guide to the American Left" and "Guide to the American Right," said that Patrick Declining while the American Right was growing. According to Wilcox, evidence of the New Left and SDS decline is shown by the fact that presently, three or four books and papers go defunct per month.
"The American Right, particularly the libertarian tenet, is comparable to the growth rate of the radical left in the mid 1980's." Wilcox said. "Most of the growth of the population that is removed from the welfare-intellectual complex of the universities. However," he added, "even the college based ones." Freedom rocked from 500 chapters to over 700 chapters during the last three months of the decade.

"When I found out what they were like, I resigned," he said. "They had no conception of true freedom or democracy."
From 1963-66, Wilcox edited and published the Kansas Free Press. During the 1963-64 school year, the chairman of the SUA Minority Office brought speakers from the American Nazi Party and the Socialist Party to KU. He has also been active in the ACUL. CORE, Socialist Rights Council, Socialist Party of the Young People's Social League.
By 1967, Wilcox had become disillusioned with where the growing totalitarianism of the Soviet Union and SDS was leading his country.

Wilcox he expected more violence in Lawrence, probably in the spring. He said that if it were his turn to react, certain groups would react.
"WELL, THERE is a vigilante group that has an enormous amount of sympathy," he explained. "The radical sub-culture has pushed the white, Christian majority as far as it can. It has been used for more provocation to cause a reaction, possibly with violence."
Club Wages War on Fat
Last month, Wilcox and Frank Brady, University of Missouri at St. Louis, wrote a book on bickey publication, Battleline. The publication reports the national activities of the radical left and on bombs and other violent acts.

The "hattle of the bulge" is now being waged by members of the Obesity Clinic at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
About 13 persons have been referred to the clinic by a KU physician who considered their weight a health problem. They meet regularly to compare their progress, to gain incentive from professional experience and to consult professional medical personnel.
physician who considered their weight a health problem. They are likely to compare their progress, to the group experience and to consult professional medical practitioners. The members named their club the Battle of the Bulge Club and refer to it as the B.B.C. Club. The organization for losing weight because the KU club has direct access to professional care and is based according to Miss Pat Gardner, a registered dietician working with the Obesity Clinic.
Miss Gardner said in a recent interview that the B. B.C. tastes were superior and that she done last year at the Medical Center, an effective method for losing weight.
EIGHTEEN PERSONS, referred by physicians, were divided into two groups of nine each. One group, directed by Miss Gardner, received group activities such as pledges, awards, comparison of results, discussion and public announcements by the members of this group or gain. This group maintained an informal, jovial atmosphere.
The second group was directed by Miss Dodie Abbott, a social worker at the Medical Center. Abbott said her group, called the therapeutic group, emphasized psychological and emotional encouragement to the members encountered individually in their efforts to lose weight.
"The therapeutic group focused on things that made them (patients) nervous during the week," said Miss Abbott.
AFTER FOUR MONTHS, the
study revealed that the rитuanum method was more effective, primarily because of the positive effect it produced in the patients.
The success of the ritualistic group helped determine the methods of the present B.B.C.
"We had the feeling that there were better results from the rhinoplasty therapeutic group," Ms Gardner said. "Our group (B.B.C.) is really concentrated more on having a good time when it comes."
B. B.C. members range in age from 18 to the late 80s and in weight from 110 pounds to 253 pounds.
The weekly meetings usually begin with a prayer and include a weigh-in, an announcement by the members of their weight loss or gain, a reading of a pledge, an exchange of food, an exchange of diet record book discussion and a program which usually includes exercises.
A SPECIAL CALORIE point system is used by the members to help control their eating habits. The weight of simplified counting system used by the Obesity CII assigns foods values of either 5 or 1.0. This method is much simpler for calorie units, Miss Gardner said.
According to the system, 1200 calories equal 16 points. At each meeting, members turn in a diet menu for the week figured in points.
In addition to access to resources from professional Gardner, members may also consult Miss Abbott for counseling concerning emotional well-being.
"The purpose of counting points is that it places the responsibility on the patient for monitoring his foods," explained Gardner.
TACTICS USED in the battle of the bulge include an exercise program and a buddy system that offers members an opportunity to exchange
encouragement. Buddies call each
other during the week and take
account of other's accomplishments.
"It is amusing that the right wing has the reputation for violence in America," said J. Michael Reid, a lawyer five years, the radical left him committed over twenty times the number of violent acts committed by the right. The whole Minuteum organization has fewer acts of terrorism than the Berkley SDS chapter."
Since January, however, no member has gained any weight, said Miss Gardner. The average loss for the whole group for Jannah was 3.7 pounds or has been 3.7 pounds per person or about half a pound a week.
Also, a ten cent fine is paid to the club's bank for each pound gained or for no progress.
LEFT'S EACT IT," Wileo said, "most of the leftist prescriptions for society take a heavy toll of personal freedom. After ten years of forced integration, the tax burden was before," he said. "The tax burden on America's producers is getting out of hand.
"It's time for a realignment in American politics, and I think it's coming now."

Construction Bids Less Than Planned
Less than anticipated construction bids for Wescone College are expected to save University students $2 million through 1992.
Final construction bids were $800,000 below the planned cost. According to Keith Nitcher, vice-president of interest charged on the sale of $1.7 million in revenue bonds will be paid. The bonds would have been charged on the planned $2.5 million in bonds to help finance the new humanities project.

"The savings go right back to the student," said Raymond Nichols, KU executive secretary. Nichols said the lower bids would have increased the fee decrease to be two dollars less than previously planned. The fee would terminate in 1982 instead of 1996. Students voted last year to help finance the building by inking fees $7.00 a semester, he said.
"I am very optimistic that we will get a federal grant," Nitcher said, "but have no assurance that we will."
Nitcher said KU had the authority to invest the bond sinking fund (reserves) in government bonds.
"The money earned from the investments in government bonds, student fees, pay bonds off earlier or buy insurance," Nittick said.
Nicher said it was hard to determine the insurance costs at this time and cautioned that they would cover fees marked for Wesco Hall.

Group Formed to Protest Alleged Raid Violations
Some people, who said their rights were violated by Kansas Attorney General Vern Miller's lawsuit against the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) about pressuring Dodge City senior, said Monday.
Some people in the group are reluctant to get involved, he said, because evidence was taken from them that could lead to their arrest.
A group of 22 people who were not arrested, but thought that they had been formed after a rally protesting the raid, Feb. 26, the day after the attack, will provide lawyers at no charge if enough evidence can be found.
"If there are complaints, we will investigate them," he said. "There is always the possibility that we will take an action."
"We are trying to get people organized who were hassled but not arrested." Laughead said. "This is a necessary step that can take to keep this kind of thing from happening in the future."
He said he thought they had a year to press charges, but it would be better to press charges that will still upset about the injuries.
Laughhead said he could not be specific about charges but he said he had heard complaints about his son's arrests and invasions of privacy.
