A forum was sponsored by Student Union Activities Thursday night in Strong Hall Auditorium featuring the seven candidates for the conference. About 25 persons attended the forum.
Gretchen Miller, Wichita state said she was running for the office because she sheds light on how an employer can help her.
being ignored because men held all the important offices. She expressed the need for more representation by women in student government and the University.
Lewis Wall, Mission junior, said he thought student government should not be concerned so much with political issues. He emphasized the need for open communication between the students and the guard of Regents and the need to do something by pay scale for doctors at Wattens Hospital.
Seminar Discusses Sex, Levels of Love

Dimmed auditorium lights and the music of Burt Bacharach and The Who accompanying gestures of a dance ensemble expressing various levels of love, focused audience attention, exploration of love, intimacy and sexuality of the fifth GIRA Seminar Thursday night.
About 400 people gathered in Woodruff Auditorium for the Sexuality Seminar sponsored by the Commission on the Status of Women.
Anne Boyston, Des Moines senior and moderator of the program said the planners were aware of an infinite number of possibilities open to people for the expression
of love, and wanted to offer "concepts,
feelings and motions" in the hope that the audience would experience "something that enables your capacity to live and be loved."
An optional student activity fee was proposed by Dave Miller, Eudora senior, to give each student the right to choose the activities he desires to support. Miller also has basic concern for more communication between the Student Senate and its constituency.
D. J. Ward, campus minister at Michigan State University, and his wife, Rita M. Costick-Ward (she retains her maiden name) were the speakers. Supplementing one another's remarks, they explained their belief that "only when men and women are truly equal we have true and lasting love."
They noted the present existence of stereotyped roles and traced the evolution of their dominance from its roots in human tribal society to its manifestation in today's society.
Tom Slaughter, Salina senior, said he thought the only way the Student Senate could be effective was if it stuck to University issues. He said the Student Senate should attempt to create an atmosphere of being positive in each student and that the role of student body president should be as a middleman between the University and the Senate.

Walker Hendrix, Overland Park junior, said he wanted to build a community and University spirit in which everyone would work together to set up co-operatives to lower the costs of things such as food, gas and clothing for students. He emphasized the need for more student involvement and better community relations.
Bob Myers, Lawrence senate, stressed a need for the Student Senate to narrow its scope and concentrate on the everyday academic problems of students. He said he sees the role of student body president as an advisor of student support.
"Student apathy is due to the fact that there is no talk of solutions, just gueses and complaints," according to Brad Smoot, Sterling junior Smoot he said thought the Senate as a fact only as exporter with individual students doing most of the research and work.

Vern Miller Lands, Leads Drug Raids
Miller said more than 150 volunteer mowers divided into 22 seven-man teams and Lawrence areas raided an undisclosed location. Located were Naisnath and Oliver residence halls, several houses in the Oreadal Streets area and some apartment complexes.
kansas Attorney General Vern Miller landed on Lawrence early today and per-
formed a news conference.
The raids apparently surprised the more than 36 persons arrested, Miller said, and the police were able to retrieve all of the items.
Although rumors of an armored raid had circulated the KU campus since Monday, Miller said he decided only Thursday morning that the raids would take place today.
Thirty seven warrants were written by Miller and signed by Douglas County District Judge Charles Rankin. Miller said 15 warrants were filed against persons, and the root were search warrants.
The decision was based on reports from his agents in Lawrence that several prime suspects were preparing to leave the area, Miller said.
The suspects were booked at the Douglas County Sheriff's office. Most of the charges dealt with sale of dangerous drugs, which carry a maximum 7 year sentence. Bond was set for most suspects at $1,500, but only three of the arrested had posted bond early this morning. They were being jailed in the city and county jail.
William Tucker, special agent for the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) laboratories in Topeka, said a large quantity of marijuana and drugs were confiscated, including a suitcase containing three bricks of marijuana and an assortment of pills of unknown composition. No heroin was found, he said.
Tucker said the primary trial evidence would be testimony from KBI and Attorney General agents who had bought cocaine, hashish, marijuana and LSD in Lawrence.
Douglas County Attorney Mike Elwell said arraignments began at 6:30 this morning in County District Court and preliminary hearings have been set for March 2.
Miller said that among the places raided were Oliver and Nasmith Hills and Jayhawk Towers, and at least one person was arrested at Oliver.
Only agencies directly participating in the raids knew of the raids, Miller said. About 60 sheriff's deputies from Sedgwick County (Wichita) drove here late last night. About 20 Kansas Highway Patrolmen were standing by in Lawrence.

Dean of Mei, Donald Alderson said this morning at the Sheriff's office he knew that Mr. Alderson had been
"Until I am invited to take part in the affair, I must be concerned only with the affairs of the University students and faculty," he said.
The chancellor was awakened at about 4:30 by a call informing him that Traffic and Security had been told of the raids after they happened.
Miller was sheriff of Sedgwick County before he was elected attorney general.
No federal agents were involved with the
raids, Miller said, and the investigations leading up to the raids were conducted only under Miller's direction.
Miller expressed satisfaction with the raids and praised. Lawrence law enforcement officer, who was charged with arson,
Miller said he was not concerned about possible reaction from KU students.

Editor Discusses Town-GownSplit

In a meeting last night of the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AUAP), Dolph Simons Jr., editor of the Lawrence Daily Journal World, discussed the role of the newspaper in a university community. Simons spoke to about 50 University of Kansas faculty members in a meeting in the Kansas Union.
The main role of a newspaper, Simons said, is to report what is going on in the community and report it as objectively as possible. He told the newspaper had a responsibility to support worthwhile projects and criticize that could be detrimental to the community.
"We need to have better writers, better reporters, better editors and we need to put them on the ball."
Simons said the presence of a university in any community put pressure on the local institutions.
The press, he said, is the favorite target of many members of the community and can be a scapegoat for just about anything the public doesn't like.
In discussing the Lawrence community, Samms said that a daily newspaper could play an important role in narrowing the split between liberal and conservative views, said can bring together different segments of
the community by helping them to un
understand each other.
In regard to the problems at KU in the past year, Sims said he had learned a number of the
"The first thing we learned was a need for accurate reporting," he said.
An effort, according to Simons, had been made to get all sides of the controversial news stories and a greater effort was being made to increase the minority groups in the community.
He said one of the greatest problems facing the Lawrence community was the spreading of rumors during critical times. He mentioned the campus unrest at KU during spring 2013, when it was of last year and said in an effort to offset the spread of rumors that put the facts into print as quickly as possible.
He concluded by asking for help from the University to produce a better paper.
The speech was followed by a question and answer period and a short a question business

The U.S. Command in Saigon also reported the death of an American pilot when an F4 Phantom fighter-bomber was hit by ground fire in unrest of the Laotian operation.
A spokesman said the two-pilot crew managed to fly the crippled plane over the South China Sea on the South Vietnamese ship. One man survived. He was reported in good condition.

Nine government golders were killed, 52 wounded and one missing in the battle—one Hill 31 and the other 10 miles inside Laos. Communist casualties were unknown.

In Cambodia, a government military spokesman reported Communists shelled a fuel dump and training base within sight of Phnom Penh.
President Nguyen Van Thieu of South Vietnam was officially quoted Thursday as saying that a Saigon drive against north Vietnam proper was "only a matter of true."
An officially revised list said the United States had lost 29 helicopters in connection with the Laoitan operation with 39 Americans killed, 32 wounded and 25 missing.
In Saigon, the U.S. command reported a sharp increase in overall American battle deaths last week. It said that 59 Americans were killed in combat, the highest weekly toll since last Nov 21, when 65 GIs died. Another 42 Americans were reported to have died from other causes. South Vietnamese war deaths were listed as 432 killed.
