Gardenhire Motion Fails In Court
By CARLA RUPP
Kansan Staff Writer
A motion to reduce or drop an attempted murder charge against a suspended University of Kansas freshman was denied in a hearing Wednesday in Douglas County Court.
The suspended student, Keith E. Gardenshire, 18, of Wichita, was scheduled by Judge Charles C. Rankin to appear at 2 p.m. on Feb. 1 for arraignment in district court
His attorney, Chester I. Lewis of Wichita, argued that the case involving Gardenhire, who allegedly shot KU senior Harry K. Snyder of Topeka Dec. 7 in front of Watson Library, was a "classic case of self-defense," and that Snyder was the aggressor.
The pair was allegedly engaged in a scuffle at 8:30 a.m. over the painting of the word "Jaguar."
Prosecuting attorney Mike Elwell, however, argued that under the circumstances a weapon wasn't necessary for self-defense.
"A fist-fight would not justify a gun," he said.
THE PRINCIPLE WITNESSES Wed-
day, September 16, 2014, shot in the neck, Leonard L. Kau, KJU union of Shawnee Mission, who said he observed Gardenite pointing a gun at Snyder and then heard a shot, and Patrohan Clint Witis, KU Union of Shawnee Mission, who found a 32 caliber cartridge case near the north wall of the library about 9:15 or 9:20 a.m.; 45 minute after the shooting was over.
At the hearing, Snyder said he remembered little of the scuffle, nor who initiated the fight. However, he was able to identify Gardenhire as the person who shot him.
Soyder testified he was walking to his 8:30 a.m. class when he passed the library and saw two black youths painting the word "strike."
HE SAID he "elt erraged that someone was defacing the library." The defacing was in connection with a classroom boycott called later that morning by members of the Black community, in protest of the firing of Gary Jackson, black administrative assistant, last summer.
Snyder, who commutes from Topeka daily, told the court he was unaware a strike had been called, and he added, "If I had known I would have been sympathetic."
Although Snyder could recall only one shot being fired, the second witness testified he heard what he said he thought were two separate shots.
Wall, the witness, said "Snyder kept on approaching, and the next thing I knew they were scuffling. The first thing I remember is Snyder holding Gardenhire."
HE SAID they "scuffled behind the hedge," and "there was a lot of fist-flinging on both sides!" He was unable to answer the question: "Who was winning the fight?"
Wall said that Gardenhire and Snyder had both fallen to the ground in their scuffle.

Ebert Fields Questions on Addroprriations
Student Senate cuts athletic allocation
Activity Fees Slashed
Senate Chops Fee Funds For Athletic Department

Kansan Staff Writer
Pending University and Board of Regents approval, the student activity fee will no longer subsidize athletic event admission at the University of Kansas.
An enactment on appropriations, amended to lower the student activity fee and cut the student fee, passed the Student Senate in a special night. An additional $1 activity fee assessment to fund extra-curricular student organizations was approved in a ride to the library.
Bill Ebert, student body president, said he had communicated with the Kansas Board of Regents, and, be said, they would accept the reduced activity fee.
The enactment reduced activity fees to $7.50 each semester for a full-time student. It set budget ceilings on the University Daily Course and the Concert Course Series allocations.
A ceiling of 35 cents per student was set on intramurals, extramurals and sports clubs. Twenty cents per student will be held in reserve for school and department groups.
Intercollegiate minor sports retained a 50 cent student allocation despite the athletic
THE ENACTMENT also established a February 15 deadline for budget submissions and allocation requests for all subsequent fiscal years.
The student health center received $4,000 from a Student Senate announcement of a life insurance program for Globe Life Insurance. The program was made of a newly-initiated program for students. Methodone treatments will be provided free of charge to students addicted to heroin.
The program has been sanctioned by the mental health center and the Douglas County attorney. All names will be held in complete confidence. The program, sponsored by the Douglas County Education and Welfare, is an extension of the methodone treatment service at the

Woody Moore, supervisor of user service of the University Computation Center, asked the staff to collect the computer cards and print paper after processing. The cards and paper could then be recycled in the interest of ecology or used to such a committee passed by acclimation.
A first reading was given to an enactment of a freedom of protest outlawing responsibility for protests and demonstrations. The enactment is presented upon at the next scheduled Senate meeting.
'Welfare Parasites' Worry Shultz
By BOB DICKSON Kansan Staff Writer
Increasing tax levies in Douglas County and King江 Reynolds Shultz's concern about "pursuit of truth" prompted the state drew attention Tuesday to two University of Kansas students who are receiving general financial aid.
Gary D. Jackson, Topeka college student, was named by Shultz on Monday as an ineligible recipient of county general assistance welfare. Further investigation showed that he did not receive funds and also received funds in December. John Derrick, Douglas county welfare director, said.
This fall, Douglas County personal property tax levies, which fund the county welfare programs, rose to the maximum allowed by state law. Welfare is one of the major county expenses, and the rise in property tax reflects increased welfare expenses.
Jackson and Beckwitt were singled out because of a Douglas County Commission survey, which also received welfare assistance, except when there are extinguishing circumstances. The commission did not approve the survey.
"IN 1968," Schultz said, "70,470 people received we will be a assistant to the organization. In 107,000 there were 1,490,530 recipients, with annual expenditures of $150,532,225. This is an increase of 99 per cent."
not specify that an applicant must not be a student.
A state agency is responsible for checking that all welfare recipients actually have financial need. Robert Harder, director of the state agency, explained to the auditing process used to check actual need as a "scientific sampling" that has proven effective during the years it has been used. He said he saw no immediate need to the auditing process of *welfare recipients*.
DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF welfare are awarded in douglas County and throughout the state. Elderly, blind or disabled persons may be awarded in county assistance. The funds Jackson and Bedford received were another category; colleal general assistance grants, given to applicant who claimed a need for substance benefit.
Exclusion of students is a Douglas County regulation, not a state law, Derrick said.
SHULTZ *POINTED* to the increasing welfare costs and denied the auditing system's ability to track them.
Jackson and Beckwith were not guilty of any fraudful claim, Derrick said.
Ron Washington
Ron Washington to Resign As President of the BSU
Ron Washington said Wednesday that he would formally submit his resignation as president.
"Mr. Harder would have difficulty convincing me that all receiving welfare are in parks."
Washington, a former law student from Chicago who succeeded LaVerta Murray as president of the BSU last fall, said the only change he made to the student was that he was no longer a KU student.
"I if I tried to remain," he said, "it would
allow it to attack that an outsider
agitation."
... resigns office
He described "many" of the Douglas County recipients as "hippies and yippies, people living in communes. Those are the people I call parasites," Shultz said.
Washington said that during the BSU's call for a student strike last December, news media inaccurately reported he had been out of work and did not withdraw until the last day of classes.
Washington appeared as the president of the BSU shortly after Murray was found guilty of three misdemeanor charges Oct. 23. At a Nov. 23 rally, Washington read a statement that called for a reinstatement of Gary Jackson, Topeka law student, who had been accused of the deam of men after allegedly buying them after the killing of Rick Duckwell in Lawrence
He also said that BSU by-laws made it impossible for a non-student to hold office in the city.
On Dec. 7, Washington announced a BSU strike of classes until the Kansas Board of Rogers gave an adequate explanation for Jackson's dismissal.
CHARLES HAMM, attorney for the state Board of Social Welfare, said welfare workers often from any group or class of people. The Hamm established the general assistance welfare program excludes only those persons who are ill, disabled and are unable to earn a substance living.
This was followed by his call on Dec. 10 for an economic boycott of the Kansas Union and an end to the poorly supported strike the next week, meeting a meeting of the regents in Topeka.
"The BSU is as unified as ever," he said. "There will be no problem of transition; one person doesn't stop the show and there are still a lot of problems to deal with here."
Washington is presently free on bond after an arrest on a charge of riotous conduct in connection with a demonstration Dec. 9 in the chancellor's office.
Washington declined to comment when asked if he would continue to work with the BSU or who would assume leadership of the organization.
He emphasized there was no internal turmilu in the BSU.
HAMM SAID "unless an applicant makes himself such a persona not grata that he disqualifies himself for employment, he is eligible to receive benefits."
Shultz acknowledged two cases of University of Kansas students receiving welfare that actually deserved aid. Both cases involved married students who had to support their incapacitated spouse while he was away. The university students should not be denied assistance. He said his aim was to end the county welfare office's funding of "parasites" who contributed nothing to the community and did not really want to work.
Bingo Bill Sent To Legislature
The proposed amendment, which had been recommended by a special study committee, House Judiciary Committee. A majority of the members of the study panel thought enactment of a law to permit pari-mutuel wagering on institutional unless an amendment was adopted.
THE DOUGLAS COUNTy Welfare office has started checking the names of welfare recipients against student enrollment lists to prevent further violation of the county laws. The board said it would be unnecessary to provide any further auditing of Douglas County.
A state law established a work program controlled by the county. In Shawnee County, the countywide welfare recipients must report for work every two weeks to a work site where they must do some county improvement. A similar program controls work in New York County, but it is still in the planning stage.
TOPEKA (UPI) - A proposed amendment to lift the constitutional prohibition against lotteries in Kansas was received Tuesday in the state House of Representatives.
If approved by the legislature and Kansas voters it would allow the legislature to enact laws legalizing pari-mutual wagering and bingo.
Snultz said that, although a work program would be effective in needing out some of the undesirables who were receiving assistance, the addition of applicants will still be necessary.
A hill introduced in the Senate would raise $8 million in new revenue by increasing the tax on oil and gas.
"I cannot justify payoff my tax dollars to hippies who do not want to work." Shaltz said.
Chet Mize Gets Boost by Nixon
WASHINGTON (UPI)- President Nixon today appointed Chester I. Mize, the former Republican congressman from Kansas, as a chairman of the Commission and named his as chairman.
Mize, 53, succeeds the late Herschel D. Newson on the commission and succeeds Glenn Sutton as chairman. Sutton will remain on the commission.
Mize served three terms as a Republican congressman from Kansas and was a member of the House Banking and Currency Board. He lost in a bid for re-election last November.
Docking's Budget Talk Gets Hostile Reception
TOPEKA (UPI) - Democratic Gov. Robert B. Docking's legislative budget message received its usual, hostile reception Wednesday from Republican leaders.
The third-term Kansas governor proposed a budget of $941 million for fiscal 1972, with recommendations for a state spending lid, tax reforms and governmental reorganization
Except for respectful applause at the beginning and end of his address, Docking would not appear unless he except for one outburst of applause from Democratic members. Republicans dominate
Republican reaction following the 38 minute speech was as cold as his recent回应
"We appreciate his recommendations for a right budget and a careful evaluation of the effectiveness of our practice we have followed, but his Napoleonic complex, illustrated by his demands to take over much of the legislative responsibilities, in addition to his executive responsibilities, is not worth mentioning."
minute speech was as cold as his reception.
Senate president pro temp Glee Smith, Sr. JR,
Larman, said the Democratic governor elected
his re-response "as a mandate to dictate."
SMITH ALSO said Docking's proposed budget of $41 million is about $120 million above his request a year ago. He said this amounts to an increase of 14.4 per cent.
R Abbler, noted the governor's proposed budget is the largest in state history.
"I cannot tell whether it is adequate until we see the detailed budget document, but $941 million doesn't sound ample to me," he said. "The Senate bill doesn't provide spending lid, Sen. Tom R. Van Sickle, R-Fort Scott, chairman of the Senate Ways and Spaces committee, has a real need for spending restraint on the seven."
Van Sieckle said he will oppose every supplemental appropriation proposed by the government.
House majority leader Morris Kay, R. Lawrence, called Docking "a traitor to his words." He said the governor has increased expenditures for every branch of govern-
CRITICISM WASVOISED from the Senate on Docking's tax proposals by Sen. Frank S. Hodge, R-Hutchinson, majority leader and senator, to provide an estate assessment and Taxation Committee.
The veteran state legislator said the Docking proposal for a sales tax on consumables "is actually a sales tax increase, and I question whether his financing plan will produce the necessary revenue. But I will certainly try to work to the end he proposes."
Another veteran Kansas lawmaker, Rep. Clyde Hill, YR-Edates, chairman of the Democratic legislature, is disturbed by the Democrats' attacks on the legislature for raising his budget $38 million.
"The governor has increased a lot of talking about the legislators increasing his recommended expenditures. He has very cleverly used the money for all the bills making those appropriations. Only two were passed over his veto, school aid and the gasoline tax. The school aid passed over his veto was for the purpose of keeping the schools under local property tax from being increased."
DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATIVE leaders, although few in number, supported the amendment.
Sen. Harold S. Herd, D-D冷水城，Senate minority leader, said Decking proposed what would be the result.
"I think the type budget the governor proposes is an accurate reflection of what the public wants. They don't want new programs. They want a cutting back."
Rep. Richard C. "Pete" Loux, D-Wichita,
House minority leader, called Docking's
proposal "a blueprint for legislative
responsibility."
