antenna in the wrong position.
After repeated calls, Conrad came up on the radio and said that he and his colleagues had cut off the "com" in the spacecraft while they cleaned up some of the lunar dirt that Conrad and Bean tracked aboard. Mission control bid the astronauts goodnight at 6:30 p.m.-two hours after they were scheduled to retire—and promised not to disturb them for the remainder of their sleep period.
Conrad and Bean set new moon firsts—walking one and one-half miles on its cratered surface and retrieving parts of
Regents hike fees
(Continued from page 1) dictated the increase
Bickford also said the above figures are final as far as he knows.
"Whether or not corresponding increases in state scholarships will also be included in the resolution is a matter the legislature will have to answer." Bickford said.
Raymond Nichols, vice-chancellor of finance, said the fee increase would apply to KU graduate students, but law students and graduate students teaching at KU would not pay the same increases but would have their fees increased proportionally.

the now-dead Surveyor 3 that had been on the moon since 1967.
They made no startling discoveries on the face of the moon and hadn't been expected to. But many of the things they did find have already whetted the appetites of scientists.
The astronauts reported finding some rocks that looked like granite—in contrast to the more
Cyclamate ban eased
WASHINGTON (UPI) The government announced Thursday a relaxation of the control on cyclamates in foods but said soft drinks containing the artificial sweetener still would be banned effective Jan.1.
Robert H. Finch, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, said use of cyclamates would be restricted "essentially" to use in foods and as a sugar substitute produced as concentrates in tablet or liquid form.
Weather
Clear to partly cloudy and warmer today with southwestly winds 10 to 15 mph. Increasing cloudiness and warmer tonight and Saturday. Highs today in the 60s. Lows tonight mid to upper 30s. Precipitation probabilities—near zero per cent today 5 per cent tonight 10 per cent Saturday.
prevalent lava rocks—and others that were "ginger ale-bottle green" in color. They also saw strange little mounds resembling tiny volcanos.
The two explorers also reported seeing glass-lined pits, and collecting chunks of solidified lavas that apparently blanket most of the moon's "seas," or plains.
Conrad and Bean left behind a nuclear-powered science station, Old Glory, and a plaque on their discarded landing stage saying they had been there. They also left on the moon by mistake a pack of color film.
As Intrepid slowly edged toward the command ship, Conrad got a good close look at Yankee Clipper and he exclaimed about the condition of an umbilical cover on its exterior.
"It looks like it's burned," he said. "You think it was hit by lightning or something?"
The spacecraft lost power momentarily during launch from Cape Kennedy in a rain storm and one theory was that the craft was hit by lightning. Project officials believed it was more likely a burst of static electricity that jolted the spacecraft.
The bullseye landing made by the Intrepid has cleared the way
for Apollo 13 astronauts James E. Lovell and Fred W. Haise to shoot for a more inaccessible, but more scientifically interesting site next March.
Their landing area is expected to be a stretch of terrain known as the Fra Mauro formation, which is made up of rock debris gouged from the depths of the moon's crust by a giant meteoroid.
Like the Apollo 12 crew, Lovell and Haise will set up a nuclear powered scientific base—the second in a string of three that scientists want to establish on the moon next year.
Lodge and deputy resign as peace talk delegates

out in his address to the nation
on Nov. 3, if the negotiations
were to move off dead center we
would get a more rapid settlement
of the conflict."
Lodge's official reason for resigning was "because personal matters at home require by attention." But the 67-year-old ambassador also said in his letter of resignation, "it is sad that the other head has flatly refused to reciprocate in any kind of meaningful way."
Walsh's reason for resigning was: "In view of the matter in which these meetings are being conducted by the other side, no purpose would be served by my
continuing to hold this office."
Both views apparently reflected the opinion of the Nixon administration as stated in the President's Nov. 3 speech to the nation on Vietnam. "No progress whatever has been made except agreement on the shape of the bargaining table," Nixon said in the speech.
"It has become clear that the obstacle in negotiating the end of the war is not the President of the United States. And it is not the South Vietnamese government. The obstacle is the other side's absolute refusal to show the least willingness to join us in seeking a just peace."
Before replacing Ambassador W. Averell Harriman in Paris last January, Lodge had been ambassador to South Vietnam twice, ambassador to the United Nations, Nixon's running mate in his unsuccessful bid for the presidency in 1960, and a U.S. senator from Massachusetts.
Ziegler said he had "no idea" when replacements would be named for Lodge and Walsh, a former federal judge.
Philip C. Habib, a veteran Foreign Service officer who has been the senior adviser in Paris since the talks began, will serve as acting head of the American delegation.
