There will be only two speakers because of the snow. Mark Creamer is to appear as the spokesman for those arrested, according to the press release from the organizers. The other speaker is as yet unidentified.
Kohn said that emphasis for the rally would be on the issue that Miller broke laws in order to win.
"We want to educate the people and create momentum for the town meeting. Wed
The town meeting, at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the Student Senate Lounge of the Wesley Foundation, will be to further discuss the proposed law, workshops and the Lawrence auxiliary police force will also be discussed, according to John Naramore, street representative for the Wesley Foundation.
The status of the Community Relations Program after the Friday raids will be discussed, Narameo said. He pointed out that police and community people were just beginning to look at one another as human beings when the raids occurred.
"Lawrence has decided to deal with the conflicts in ways other than through street demonstrations and reactions to demonstrations." Naramore said, using as an example the Menninger Foundation Program.
"Miller comes in, does his thing and leaves, so he doesn't care what happens," Naramore said. "Lawrence police are left holding the bag."
"Miller is exploiting the situation in Lawrence to gain fame. He might have got the street dealers, but he did not get the hard pushers."
Narnaramore that damage done by the raids to the drug treatment programs now in progress was difficult to assess. Lines of communication between the treatment programs, the Meminger Foundation and the drug users have been damaged, he said.
Arraignment for most of those arrested were held early Friday morning. By Sunday afternoon all but one person who had been arrested were out on bail.
Three juveniles were arrested in the raids and three people were arrested and later

Sutherland, said at Khe Sanh that the 20-day-old Laos offensive had not gone as well as they intended, but he described it as a over-all success. The main body of the 16,000 South Vietnamese task force in Laos has been halted 16 miles inside Laos for two weeks.

American military sources said U.S. crews aboard helicopter gunships killed at least 320 North Vietnam targets, troops, including 200 around Hill 51, in strikes Saturday in what were the heaviest losses inflicted on Communist forces since the Laos offensive began Feb. 8.

Horwitz termed the raid "excessive" and "in large part ineffective." He noted that no hard narcotics such as heroin were confiscated.
"The tactics by Mr. Miller are, if one checks the record as some of us have, of the same made as he used in Wichita and usually far in excess dramatically. It's like a scenario. Everything's there but the horses." Horowitz said.
An Air Force spokesman said the men were rounded up for alleged illegal use, possession and sale of narcotics. None of the detained high-ranking non-commissioned officers.

Keith E. Gardenie, former KU freshman in 1974, was found guilty of violating a University regulation against carrying firearms on campus by a unanimous vote of a seven member panel of the University Judiciary at his hearing Friday in Green Hall.
By LAYNE CREASON Kansan Staff Writer
The hearing was held after a U.S. District Court in Wichita ruled that the University of Kansas had denied Gardenhire due process of law by suspending him for carrying a gun on campus and not giving him a hearing. The Court ordered that Gardenhire be reinstated to the University, but stayed the order until March 1 so KU could hold a hearing.
Gardenhire was suspended Dec. 10 in connection with a shooting incident Dec. 10 in which Harry K. Snyder, Topeka senior, was wounded in the neck.

Gardenhire Waits to Appear Before Judiciary

... Judiciary upholds suspension
Results of the hearing will be presented in Wichita March 1. Gardenhire's suit against the University will be resumed at 10 a.m. Tuesday in U.S. District Court where his scholastic status will be determined in the light of the findings of the Judiciary.
Three witnesses at the hearing testified that they saw Gardenhire with a gun before he and Snyder had scuffed in the bushes in front of Watson Library the morning of Dec. 7.
One of the witnesses said he saw two black youths painting "STRIKE" on the front of the staircase at Watson when Snyder walked up holdered. "Hey, what do you think you're doing." He said the two scuffled and he heard a shot. The witness said Gardenhire ran from the scuffle. It was then, he said, that he saw the gun in Gardenshire's hand.
Cletis Wattus, KU traffic security officer,
testified that he arrived about 15 minutes after the incident and found a 32 caliber shell case and fresh blood by the staircase.
A motion for summary dismissal of the case on the grounds that Gardenhire had had no way of knowing about the rule against carrying firearms on campus was made by Chester L. Lewis, Wichita defense attorney. He claimed that when Gardenshire had enrolled at KU in the fall of 1970 no firearm law rule was made available to him. He concluded from this that Gardenshire could not be held responsible for a rule he was not aware of.
John Murphy, associate professor law and presiding officer of the hearing, denied the motion which had been dismissed earlier by the Chairman of the University Judiciary Jess McNish. Reasons for the dismissal will be given at a later date.
Leonard Munker, chief assistant to the Kansas attorney general, said in response to the motion that all students automatically entered into a contract agreement to abide by the rules of the University when they enrolled and that any violation of the contract was cause for dismissal. He said that if students were allowed to be a defense for breach of regulation then everybody could carry firearms on campus without fear of punishment.
Gardenhire is scheduled to stand trial March 21 in Douglas County District Court for attempted murder in connection with the shooting.
