Student officer faces harassment

A campus policeman's own uniform can sometimes be one of his worst headaches, according to an officer in the KU Traffic and Security department.
The officer, John Thomas, has special reason to be aware of the problems of wearing a uniform on campus because he has been on both sides. Thomas has been a part-time student at KU since
"So many people nowadays simply hate the sight of a uniform." Thomas says.
1962, and in 1964 he joined the Traffic and Security force.
Just walking down the street wearing the department's blue uniform, says Thomas, is enough to draw insults, many of them unprintable, from passersby.
In spite of these drawbacks, however, Thomas enjoys his work. Thomas ran into more hostility
from students during the first two and a half years with the force, when he worked as a traffic patrolman. He now is a lieutenant in command of a sergeant and eight other men. He supervises campus traffic control centers and traffic direction at intersections during rush hours, as well as special events such as basketball games and the recent Blood, Sweat and Tears concert
Thomas hopes eventually to become a federal deputy marshal or to do other work in the U.S. Department of Justice. A job in the Justice Department requires a college degree, and Thomas will be a junior in sociology next semester. This semester Thomas had to stay out of school because of conflicts with his hours on the police force.
Thomas says people often ask him why he has been in school so long. According to University
regulations, any student who works 40 hours a week or more may take only six hours of classes a semester. By going through school on this basis, however, he is able to draw about $700 pay a month, as well as be subject to all the benefits of an employee in the state civil service.
In the School of Education student teaching schedules are chosen by student numbers.
Percy said charges for 'personal aims'
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Sen. Charles H. Percy, R-III., said Sunday a constituent of his was seeking to further his own aims when he accused Marines commanded by former President Lyndon B. Johnson's son-in-law of killing innocent South Vietnamese civilians.
Percy forwarded to the Pentagon Thursday a letter in which Anthony R. Martin-Trigona, 24, a real estate and investment broker from Champaign, Ill., charged that members of the company commanded by Maj. Charles Robb had murdered South Vietnamese.
Sunday, Percy released a copy of a letter he wrote to Martin-Trigona complaining of the methods Martin-Trigona used to publicize his charges and tonguelashing him for his tactics.
"I am shocked and deeply disturbed at the way you have treated the allegations you have made." Percy wrote. "... It seems clear to me that you are less interested in seeking justice than in seeking to achieve some other purpose.
"... Should you succeed in your present campaign for state representative in Illinois, I hope

you will discharge your public duties with responsibility and dignity unlike the way you have treated this matter as a private citizen."
