Festival Bill Would Force Precautions
TOPEKA (UFI) - Rep. Richard C. "Pete" Loux, D-Wichita, introduced a bill in the Kansas House of Representatives Tuesday to restrict alcohol controls under strict safety and health controls.
It would require promoters of festivals involving 5,000 or more people and lasting longer than 18 hours to obtain a $100 license from the festival where the festival was planned.
It would require the promoter to provide certain necessary sanitary and safety precautions before the license would be issued.
At least one toilet would have to be provided for every 200 females and at least one for every 300 males expected to attend the festival.
The proposed law is modeled after a statute in Wisconsin.
A bond would also have to be posted. It would be $1 for every person expected to attend.
Loux also introduced a bill which would impose a 35 per cent tobacco products tax on the wholesale price of cigars, smoking tobacco and other tobacco products other than cigarettes. It would raise an estimated $2.3 million annually for the state.

New Congress To Be Handed Old Legislation
WASHINGTON (UPI)—President Nixon told the 92nd Congress Tuesday that its first priority should be to clean up the leftovers of the 91st Congress, including enactment of welfare reforms and a $1.5 billion apportionment of problems caused by school desegregation.
In a message to Capitol Hill, Nixon said he would soon resumble to the new Congress
Groups Notified Of Allocations
six organizations were notified Tuesday of their student activity fee budget allocations as provided in the Student Senate Enactment to the Student Senate, the Miller, Eudora senior and Treasurer treasured.
Those allocations include: intercollegiate minor sports programs, $17,541.74;
University Daily Kansan, $47,224.04;
University Theatre, $26,760.49; Concert Center, $23,687.45; Sports and sports clubs, $11,019.03; and $6,298.58; reserve for school and department ground.
The remaining $124,891.96 of the $253,971.98 generated from activity fees will be for Student Senate contingency fund. That money will be used to support student organizations that present budget requests.
Their budget requests will first be considered by Bill Ebert, Topeka senior and student body president, and Puf Bailey, Alison schoen and student body vice-president. Ebert Bert will be recommended budget will be acted on by the Student Senate by the end of the school year.
White House Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler said Nixon would seek bipartisan support for his proposal to reorganize executive departments and to enact a federal-state revenue sharing plan. Ziegler noted that the Democratic chairmen of the two committees involved in a Capitol Hill caucus and were unable to attend the White House meeting.
In his congressional message, Nixon promised he would the lawmakers other messages dealing with major offenses in the government, reaffirm his all-volunteer Army, ways to deal with strikes that cause national emergencies, security benefits and federal aid to education.
Before sending the message to Congress at noon, Nixon sought support for fresh legislation. He urged support of his "new American revolution" and "six great goals" at a breakfast meeting with 50 Republican leaders in New York ranking GOP members of the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee.
Bill Ebert supports 'cutback
Congress, the President said, should consider his proposed welfare reform—the family assistance program—"an urgent item of unfinished business."
He also said he would again propose 18.1 million in emergency aid to school systems for the next decade.
proposals that were left unfinished by the last one. He said many would deal with relatively minor issues, but among them would be requests for increases in airline and highway user taxes which also died in the last Congress.
Russia Receives Information From Spacecraft on Venus
MOSCOW (UPI)—The Soviet Venus 7 spacecraft landed safely on Venus last December 15 and survived tremendous heat and pressure to transmit scientific information back to Earth for the first time, the official TASS news agency announced Tuesday.
Tass said the information relayed by the space probe which blasted off from Central Asia Aug. 17 for the 192 million mile flight confirmed what scientists have long believed: man could not survive on earth's nearest planetary neighbor.
Tass said Venus 7 radioed back that the atmosphere pressure was 1,523 pounds per square inch, or about 90 times that on Earth of 887 degrees Farbeiband and that the atmospheric
The announcement of the historic first by the Soviets came just five days before the scheduled blastoff of the manned U.S. Apollo 14 for the moon.
Most Western scientists had assumed the Soviet spacecraft had been destroyed by heat and pressure after parachuting into the Venustian atmosphere. But Tass said Venus' 7 continued operating for 23 minutes after landing on the surface.
The government newspaper Izvesta said that a new model descent vehicle had been designed for Vernus 7, capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 986 degrees F and atmospheric pressure up to 180 times that of earth. It said a newly-designed thermal parachute could withstand the same temperatures while the insulated descent module provided the functioning of the scientific instruments... directly on the surface of the planet."
A Tass announcement on Dec. 15 had reported only that Venus 7 transmitted information for 35 minutes as it parachuted through the thick Ventulian atmosphere. In other information, it was generally believed the spacecraft had burned up or been crushed.
Just the 'TAS' announcement Tuesday said:
"We were received for another 23 minutes after landing. Here the volume of the signal was about 100 times weaker than during the descent and a special method made it feasible to send a signal and decipher the information transmitted."
The successful landing on Venus gives the Soviets at least a five-year lead over the United States in the exploration of the surface of another planet.
Crates of Jars and Cans Stack Up Awaiting "Whompers" Feast

Reclamation Center to Open Soon
By JEFF GOUDIE Kansan Staff Writer
The "whomper," the can and bottle crushing machine for the new University of Kansas Reclamation Center, will soon be put to use.
Buildings and Grounds employees started Tuesday, to install the three extra transformers which the machine requires to work at full force, said Steve Emerson. Topics junior and member of the Student Senate ad committee, which set up the Reclamation Center.
Emerson said the "whomper" would require 230 volts of three phase electricity before it could be put to use. He said the electricity would flow from the west end of the stadium to the Center, which is located on the north side of the stadium, between gates
23 and 24.
Nearly 200 milk crates filled with used cans and bottles are now stacked on the north side of the stadium, just off the reclamation area to be fed into them when the active city water supply is down.
Emmerson said the contents of the 200 milk crates would be reduced to 25 lbs, when they had been crushed by the "whomper." The crates were be stored around the reclamation center.
Emerson said he was quite pleased with the initial response. The Center will be open all day on Satdays and from noon until six p.m. on Tuesdays.
"things have gone exceptionally well,"
"and Emerson. We got a much greater
reputation."
The Reclamation Center is open on a trial

Emerson said that an LA & S class would be assisting in collecting bottles and cans soon. This group would be comprised of as many as people working on coordinating the program.
If the six-month trial period proved to be a success, Erison said, the program would be successful.
Hijacker Bound for Cuba Is Overpowered by Crew
The committee has talked to various organizations and living groups in an effort to enlist their support for the project. He said he suggests that groups organize either an ongoing collecting activity or a single day collection for a service project. The collection committee and members of the ad hoc committee are not involved in the collecting process.
SANTO DOMINGO (UPI) - A well-manned Spaniard carrying a bottle he said was filled with nitroglycerine hijacked a Dominican airliner with 74 persons aboard Tuesday and Thursday. The crew was overpowered by the crew during a retraining at a small country landing strip.
The confrontation took place at the airstrip at Cabo Rojo in the southern end of the country, 25 miles from its border with Haiti, when troops surrounded the Locke-Conn探险站 and refused to allow it to take off until the官兵 released the 68 passengers aboard.

The hijacker, identified as Erique Jimenez, threatened to blow up the plane unless it was allowed to leave. But while he was negotiating with authorities outside, crew members inside jumped and overpowered him. They snapped a bottle he was
No one was injured in the scuffle, a spokesman for Quinsqueyna Airlines, owners of the aircraft.
The government said the plane's 68 passengers and six crewmen would return to Santo Domingo from Cabo Rojo where the government's drilling Co. is developing 'auxite deposits'.
The plane's pilot, Capt. Nestor Gonzalez Pofmare, was the fourth-engine aircraft assigned to Domingo for San Juan. He described the hijacker as good-looking and well-mannered at the time of the hijacking, but nervous and anxious in the air. It was the third hijack of the year in the Western Hemisphere. A National Airlines DC3 was hijacked to Cuba Jan. 11 and a
Emerson said the age of people who brought cans and bottles the first few days ranged from five-year-olds to persons in their eighties. He noted that most of the help had come from the Lawrence townpeople rather than from University students.
The cans and bottles do not have to be sorted when they come in. Emerson said, and they do have to be relatively clean. Cans and bottles should be reprepoved.
Bottles and cans are sorted in six different ways, he said. Glass bottles are separated into clear, brown and green glass. Cans were separated into tin, beverage and aluminum
He said the cans and bottles would be crushed and stored at the KU Reclamation Center or they would be shipped away to other large recycling centers.
"We hope that candidates running for city commission will take a stand on this, in view of the fact that it is ecological concern on the part of lawrence and on the part of people," he said.

Fee Cut Draws Mixed Reactions
By MARTHA MANGELSDORF
Kansan Staff Writer
At their午 20, meeting student senators voted to delete the $6 per semester athletic admissions allotment from the activity fee for full-time students.
Wade Stinson, athletic director, said the student fee money, which totaled nearly $100,000 for the football tickets and $4 charge for basketball tickets generated a sum of nearly $260,000 for the athletic department. Stinson explained that "there was a lot" of the $1,800,000 athletic department budget.
The $8 that went to the athletic department was deposited with the Endowment Association to be drawn upon by the department for general funding, such as operating expenses, scholarships, training table, and other sports activities.
Since that meeting questions have been raised about the reasoning behind the decision, the repercussions and the effect of the remaining 40 of the 123 activity fee.
"The department received no state or other university money," Stinson added. "Since the university is in New York, we will be forced to raise that $260,000 by raising football tickets to 18 and basketball tickets to 15."
Stinson added that when the University of Colorado got into a similar situation, they sold them.
When asked whether it was possible that minor sports, basketball and football now pay for, would have to be cut or possibly charge admissions, Stinson he didn't know yet. He said it would be impossible to until it received from tickets were tailored.
"If sales go up or under the $200,000 we need,
we don't know what route we will take."
Sirion said.
Ebler Eberi, Topica senior and student body president, explained some of the Student Senate's reasoning about the changes, which include the elimination and on to the Board of Regents for approval.
In the amended proposal that passed the Senate Jan. 20, the student activity fee was reduced from $12 per full time student per semester to a proposed $7.50. A student's performance is down into $3.40 for Student Senate, 50 cents for minor intercollege sports, $1.80 for the University Daily Kansan, 85 cents for the University Theatre, 70 cents for the concert theatre, 60 cents for intramurals, extramurals and sports clubs, 20 cents for school and department groups.
"I think the whole thing should have been studied by reference referendum." Ebert said. "I don't believe that Senate didn't decide this matter; it would substantively claims that the Senate is uneless."
"The whole activity fee should be eliminated and the students at enrollment should decide by HM card or something, which they want to contribute to an organization.
"I all I can say," Ebert said as he shook his head, "is that when we get requests totaling $750,000 and only have some $400,000 to spend, or $200,000 to spend. Our department more than half of our budget."
While students were paying 10 per cent of the entire $1,800,000 athletic budget, they were supporting nearly 40 other student athletes and almost 100 per cent through the activity fee.
Ebert said he and some of the other senators not only questioned the “priority” given the athletic department but “the integrity of some of the officials running that giant corporation.” He said they questioned the athlete allocation on the basis of the athlete’s status, the student-run organizations and the athletic department was “big business” that wasn’t student-run.
These other organizations, according to Bob Dickson, Kansas City, Kan., junior and the Senate auditor, show little or no other amount of income other than the Student Senate.
Fourteen organizations had outside revenue sources. The University Daily Kannan entries were offsetting, by agreement with the Kannan students. The Kannan neither paid nor received funds from the Student Senate. Copies of the 1967-1978 were distributed free to students.
According to Dickson, the Athletic department received nearly 90 per cent of its entire budget from outside sources; dramatics had one admission-charging performance; the International Club, Cricket Club and The Cottonwood Review had outside sources other than the Student Senate's Activity Fee funding.
Student fees through Senate funding paid nearly 50 per cent of the entire budget that Law Publications operated on; 5 per cent of the Pharmacy Association budget; 75 per cent of the Consumer's Review; and Cottonwood Review's肥. It is not known what outside sources of revenue the BSU had.
