Welfare Welfare filled for seats. The estimate
of seats is 10.
When asked about his conception of the role the Student Senate should serve, Wall emphasized that it should provide a forum for issues directly related to the University. He said the Senate should not devote itself to political activities as the C. M. Moore strike in Kansas City.
The candidate bernamed the use of KU for political purposes, likening the present situation to a football game in which no one scores but everyone plays. He advocated the return of the University to a middle ground from making subjective political statements.
members of the six standing committees. Miller would also change the make-up of the Student Executive Committee to include the Senate's presiding officer, vice-president, three student members of SenEx and the stand committee chairmen.
Wall said the University suffers when political action intrudes into it. He said he thought that rational discussion, which he should be the foundation of a good university, is impossible in a climate of violence.

Lewis Wall and Dave Miller, candidates for student body president, began their respective campaigns last night before the Engineering Council. They spoke before the group separately but the issues were primarily the same.
On the issue of ROTC, Miller said, "If there a military science it should be offered at KK."
An ROTC student asked Wall his opinion of ROTC. He answered by saying, "ROTC has as much business on campus as the School of Social Welfare." He went on to say that military affairs would always be a part of life and deserved study.
The School of Business had 21 students file for seats. The estimate gives it four.
"I can bring to the office the experience necessary to make student government eff-
Wall, a junior from Mission, said he looked at the University with a historical perspective. He said if the present trends continued "the days are numbered for KU." He noted the change from peaceful dermonization to aggressive made KU "wrinkly swift academic score."
Miller ended his presentation affirming his qualifications for the office he seeks.
Miller, the present Senate treasurer, spoke of his desire to improve communication between the standing committees and StudiEx.
Miller was the second candidate to address the council. The Eudora senior began by talking about the proposals for reorganization of the Student Senate upon which his campaign is based. The proposed changes include the election of committee chairmen by the

Mneish said the Judiciary met Tuesday and a letter notifying Gardenhire of the court's decision.
"Be it known that the American and Vietnamese people are not enemies. The war is carried out in the names of the people of the United States and South Vietnam, but without insulting the land and people of Vietnam. It draws America of its resources, its youth and its honor."
Other business in the meeting included an agreement to allocate $300 to help bring Howard Fuller of the Malcolm X Liberation University to KU as a speaker. It was agreed that any lectures Fuller would give would be free to all students.
Four allocations to student groups were granted by the Senate.

professional education experience named to the board.
Bob Myers, Wichita senior, and candidate for the office of Student Body President, filed a statement Wednesday with the election commission that declared his filing for the offer void.
Carl Courter, a labor leader from Wichita, was recently named by Docking to replace Larry Morgan of Goodland. Thomas Griffith, a former labor leader, appointed to two further year term on the board.
Cathy Waechter, Overland Park junior who was to be *Marya*'s *running mate*, dropped out of the race for personal reasons. Without Miss Waechter as vice presidential candidate, Myers can not be officially on the ballot since the filing was not done jointly.
WASHINGTON (UPI)—President Nixon warned North Vietnam Wednesday that was running out for meaningful negotiations on the United States on the war in Indochina.
Myers said he intended to stay in the race.
Declared his confidence that his proposal to share some federal tax revenue with the states and local government would be approved by the Congress. "An overwhelming majority of the people are in favor of it," he said. "Eventually, then, it will be approved."
He told an unscheduled news conference that as the United States proceeds with the withdrawal of its forces, it will have less knowledge of the course of events in the troubled region.
He said that the United States would take whatever action was necessary to protect the safety of U.S. forces in South Vietnam and to undertake the continuation of the troop withholding.
His message for the leadership in Hanoi presumably was that if serious negotiations do not begin soon in Paris, the North Vietnamese will find themselves dealing with a government in Saigon that is less willing to negotiate reasonably.
Reported that Gen. Creighton W. Akram, U.S. commander in Vietnam, told him that the South Vietnamese ground forces making attacks on the village were conducting Minh trail warfare in a superior way.
He said he would not speculate on South Vietnam might decide to do to protect its interests. But he said there were no immediate threats from air power. On other matters, Nixon
Refused to say whether he would impose wage and price controls on the construction industry, but promised "there will be action. The construction industry is a sick industry, not because of the quality of work but because of too rich a diet."
"I do not want to suggest there will be any more concessions," Nixon said. "We are not
going to make any more concessions."
Responding to strong Communist Chinese protests over the Laotian action, Nixon indicated he had no fear that Peking would commit troops to the conflict.
Nixon would not say when the U.S. combat role in South Vietnam would end, but he said American forces would remain as an incentive to Hanoi to release all its captives.
"As long as North Vietnam has any Americans as prisoners of war, there will be Americans in South Vietnam and enough Americans to give them an incentive to help." Slaan said in the 40-minute session with him, who clustered around his desk in the oval office.
Nixon was asked if an American-backed South Vietnamese incursion into the southern panhandle of North Vietnam would be the next logical step in the current policy of Mr. Trump, in order to ground war in previously off-limits ground areas in order to cut supply trails.

This is a daily scene for many students and faculty members who park in X-zone.
Students who don't have or don't wish to part with a dime frequently transform their vehicles into battering rams to gain free entrance to the parking lot. Or perhaps someone's brakes failed. In any case, many arms bite the dust a year.
