Landlords meet with students
(Continued from page 1) majority of landlords in Lawrence wouldn't rent housing if they knew it was dangerous. The few who do rent such housing are not representative of Lawrence landlords."
Halina Pawl, Topeka senior and Off-Campus Housing Committee vice chairman, presented the tenant rights guidelines written by the committee. After some questions and discussion, the landlords agreed that the guidelines were basically reasonable.
The guidelines proposed that landlords use written leases, price housing fairly, maintain their properties and eliminate discrimination.
"We already observe all these guidelines," Almuist said. "I think most landlords would find them very reasonable."
It was also suggested that the Off-Campus Housing Committee should include one landlord in its membership. The Landlord Association also requested that at least one student should actively participate in its meetings.
Newark mayor indicted by jury
NEWARK, N.J. (UPI) — The federal government Wednesday charged 15 persons, including Newark's Mayor Hugh J. Addonizio and 10 past or present city officials, with a $253,500 extortion conspiracy."
Twelve of the 15, among them Addonizio and nine officials, also were charged, in a second U.S. grand jury indictment, with tax evasion.
The nation's top law enforcement officer, Attorney General John N. Mitchell, who triggered the indictment of 11 Mafia figures and 44 of their henchmen Tuesday, announced the new action.
Mitchell had promised last week to root out corrupt officials and break the Mafia control of gambling in New Jersey. So far, 53 of the 55 persons named Tuesday have been arrested by the FBI. They include Mafia chief Simone R. "Sam the Plumber" De Cavalcante, who claims to be related to Italy's royal House of Savoy family.
Addonizio immediately surrendered at federal court upon learning of the indictment and was arraigned on tax evasion, extortion and conspiracy charges
and then released on $25,000 bail.
The maximum penalty for extortion is 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine on each count. The maximum penalty for each count of filing false returns is three years in prison and a $5,000 fine on each count. Failure to file on time carries a maximum one year in prison and a $10,000 fine for each count.
The 66-count indictment charged that Addonizio and the 14 others, including eight present or former city officials, extorted $253,500 from an engineering firm engaged in municipal construction in Newark.
It also charged them with extortion and with evasion of federal income taxes.
Among those indicted Wednesday with the city officials were Mafia figure Anthony "Tony Boy" Boiard, Frank Addonizio, a city councilman and distant relative of the mayor, and Municipal Court Judge Anthony Giuliano.
The 15 defendants were charged with 65 counts of committing extortion against Constrad Inc., an engineering firm in Oldwick, N.J., that served as
a consultant and contractor for several city projects. Each of the extortion counts alleges that the defendants obtained 65 separate payments from Constrad ranging from $500 to $37,000.
Others besides the two Addonizio's, Giuliano and Boiardo that were indicted for both tax evasion and extortion were city councilmen Calvin D. West and Irvine I. Turner, and former council members Lee Bernstein and James Callaghan, Joseph Biancone and Ralph Vicaro, former city corporation counsel Phillip Gordon and Anthony De La More, former Newark public works director.
Three others, Mario Gallo, Norman N. Schiff and Benjamin Krusch were indicted on extortion conspiracy charges alone.
Addonizio's indictment left in limbo the status of governmental operation of the city. Addonizio had been faced with possible ouster from office for refusing to answer questions put to him by one of three federal grand juries looking into Mafia influence in gambling and in the Internal Revenue Service, and corruption in high office.

Tiny Tim, 'Miss Vicki' vow marriage won't be 'puffed up'
NEW YORK (UPI)—Tiny Tim, the quavering falsetto singer, took himself a 17-year-old bride Wednesday night, and both vowed to spend their wedding life in a "not puffed up" state.
The vows were exchanged in an elaborate ceremony at the taping of the Johnny Carson "Tonight" show which was aired on NBC later in the evening.
The Rev. William Glencesk pronounced Tiny Tim Khaury and Victoria May Budinger husband and wife at 6:42 p.m. CST after each had vowed to be "sweet, gentle, kind, patient, not puffed up, charitable, slow to anger, and swift to forgive."
The couple declined champagne and drank milk and honey, which they mixed themselves.
Carson, after the ceremony,
asked Tiny whether he had had
a hand in writing the vows.
"Well, we had a slight hand," the new husband replied.
Then Tiny Tim sang a song to "Miss Vick" which went in part:
16 KANSAN Dec. 18 1969
At a news conference after the taping of the show, it turned out that Tiny Tim had written all of the ceremonial vows.
"Like violets and roses our spirits will entwine; like violets and roses, our bodies will combine."
"I started it out with the words 'being of sound mind' so everybody will know I know what I'm doing." Tiny said.
Told that some people considered it strange to get married on television, he replied: "It doesn't matter where you're married as long as you keep the marriage laws."
He explained that "being puffed up is one of my biggest faults—I get puffed up at a ball game; I'm a Dodger fan."
It developed that his interpretation of being "not puffed up" was keeping a cool head.
The groom, whose real name is Herbert Buckingham Khaury, had made 18 previous appearances as a conversationalist and singer on the show as the guest of its star, Johnny Carson. He listed his age as 37 in applying for the wedding license.
Both Tiny, whose below-the-shoulder-length hair had been
groomed by a beauty consultant for the occasion, and his "Miss Vicki" wore Victorian style clothing. The civil ceremony was performed by the Rev. William Glenesk, a New York Presbyterian minister.
Friends and family of the couple were seated in the "Tonight" studio in lieu of the usual audience. Attendance at the black-tie affair was by invitation only.
Carson and his on-air co-host, Ed McMahon, were in attendance at the ceremony. The best man was Tiny's manager, Joseph Cappeluzzo. The "Tonight" orchestra, directed by Doc Severinsen, played traditional wedding music and special selections.
The bride's gown had an empire waist, pleated front, and a three-foot train. For the old-new-borrowed-blue tradition, she wore an antique borrowed cameo, carried a new Bible, and wore a blue garter.
The couple planned to honeymoon in the Bahamas.
Asked prior to the ceremony whether he thought getting married would hurt his public image, Tiny Tim replied: "No, I'm not a sex symbol like Tom Jones."
said the others named in Wednesday's indictment would be given "a reasonable time to surrender." Then, presumably, arrest warrants would be issued for any who failed to make a voluntary appearance.
