Committee Gets Response
By DAN EVANS Campus Editor
The Committee for a Better Board of Regents received a reply Monday from Gov. Robert R. McDonnell, who asked to sent him on Jan 1. Docking asked the committee to submit to him the ammes of potential donors.
Tom Kier, second year law student from Washington, Kan., and co-chairman of the law firm of Grace University of Kansas, said the committee would send the names of persons to be interviewed to see on the Board to Decking.
The committee was created on four Kansas college campuses and is charged with organizing, according to Kier, is attempting to establish an investigation of the Regents that has identified them as more representative of the people and better equipped to handle the multitude of problems facing Kansas.
- Kier said the committee was comprised of students and teachers in the area, Teachers College in Emporia, Wichita State University and Wichita Falls High School.
KIER EXPLAINED Sunday that the committee requested information paper for students. He said the papers were a bit too hard. Robert Docking and their parents requesting that Docking consider the recommendations of the committee.
The committee sent the letter to Docking on Jan. 1, Kier said. The letter asked that Docking be scheduled for a visit and appoint or reappoint any Regents
until an investigation was made.
Docking reappointed Thomas Griffith as a regent on Jan. 8, and will be filled on the Board, but Docking has not announced who will be the new head.
Kier said in addition to the students and faculty, the community was involved in the National Farm Organization, the AFL-LIO, a veterans group that is there are about 20 students and faculty at KU that are actively involved.
BESIDES KIER, there are two other co-chairmen of the committee. Mr. Mohlot and Lewis Houtton, both assistant professors of education.
Kier explained that the committee grew out of a feeling of frustration because it was felt the RB's colleagues were positively positive. He said the delay last spring in the promotions of two KU professors, the firing of Gary Jackson and the firing of all contributions to all the contributions.
The committee, Kier said, is not attempting to direct an attack against any individual reagent. He said several studies across the country have shown similar or similar groups in most states needed reform and re-evaluation.
Kier said the investigation of the Regents could be complete in about two weeks if the governor and the Regents cooperated.
The investigation, Kier said, would be conducted by an indicted attorney suggested that perhaps the American Association of Post-Party Organizations suggested.
Reclamation Center Opens
The reclamation center is a Student Senate project backed by the University of California. The campus office provides a service. It will pay a penny per pound rebate on an recyclable Coca-Cola product containers including Sprite, Fresca and Tab. Also, aluminum cans brought to the center will be bought at the penny per pound.
Statements to Be Mailed
The University of Kansas Reclamation Center opened its doors Tuesday, in its campaign for ecology. The center, located in Memorial Stadium, is open Tuesday afternoons, and all day Saturday and will allow non-returnable glass bottles in an effort to minimize solid wastes.
Fee statements for spring semester 1975 will be mailed to students within the next few days, according to Agnes Barnhill, assistant registrar of the University. The fee schedule, renewed this fall, listed fees for each semester. Students who are residents will be charged $23.00. These are applicable to all students carrying more than six hours. The fees are due Jan. 27. After the deadline, students who have not paid in full will be assessed a $10 late-payment charge. They will be notified that they still owe all or part of their loan debt and may not receive payment. Do not pay will be disallowed, according to William Kelly, registrar.
Biologist Named 'Friend'
H. Glenn Wolfe, professor of cell biology, was recognized as "Friend of the Laboratory" by the Jackson Laboratory for Geneti and Cancer Research at Bar Harbor, Maine. Wolfe, a geneticist at KI is Hall Memorial Laboratory for Mammalian Genetics, was elected to the National Academy of the Marine Laboratory. This honor accorded scientists who have shown a keen interest in research best done at the Jackson Laboratory.
German Lectures Offered
The German department will offer a variety of open lectures this semester on many aspects of German study and present-day German to students enrolled in the laboratory sections of German I and 2. The course will include lectures on topics such as journalism, weeks. Students in each laboratory section will select the lecture they would like to attend. Topics to be announced a week in advance will be presented by members of the journalistic, folk songs, and remedial clinics in pronunciation and grammar. The German department hopes the lectures will provide a valuable resource for German language skills to particular areas of German culture.
KU Linguist Visits Tokyo

other group could conduct the investigation.
Oil Co. Grants KU $5.000
A grant of $1,000 from the Phillips Petroleum Company Professional Development Fund has been made to the University of Kansas. The grant is to be used by students and faculty in the College of Liberal Arts to conduct research and present results according to the Philips' executives who presented the award. Deans and department heads will administer individual grants for student and faculty awards, traveling expenses and fees for off-campus professional societies' meetings. Individual grants may also be used for training purposes in reference books and professional publications for departmental use.
Kier said the Regents have to act on social issues that affect students and not just financial issues. They must decide where money is to go and therefore have to decide priorities. Because the Regents are more concerned with students, they are not always qualified to act on social issues.
THE COMMITTEE does not
establish qualifications and make
recommendations concerning
what she should do. The Regent,
he said, the ComMITTEE is only
requesting that some qualified group conduct an in-
vocation.
The Kansas Young Democrats passed a resolution at its convention Saturday in Manhattan that would support for the committee, Kier said.
One of the outcomes of the investigation, Kier said, could be that the Board will be enlarged. It is hard to imagine instead of the current nine would mean that more groups could be represented and the Board could have members who are qualified writers other than financial ones.
One of the complaints against the Regents, Kier said, is that many groups in the state are not represented by the Laborers. Specifically Kier said farmers, Indians, Mexican-Americans, laborers are not represented.
The committee will attempt to block the blockage. Kier said he quickly pointed out that the committee does not object to Griffith per se, but rather the committee is too similar to the other Regents and does not add anything to the

Keith L. Nichter, vice chancellor for business affairs was named as a member of the executive committee of the National Association of College Funding Directors, and he represents the association's Council for Business Affairs. He is also serving as treasurer of the National Association of College and University Trust Funds.
Kier said the Committee had
received support from some state senators but he would not name them. He said members of the committee intend to appear before the committee that will conduct hearings on the reappointment of Griffith.
