Vietnam confirms arrest of two men on search for gold
By United Press International
BANGKOK, Thailand — Vietnam confirmed yesterday that it had arrested a British adventurer and an American free-lance photographer who sailed into Vietnamese waters in May to try to escape by the Scottish pirate Captain Kidd.
"They are being treated well," a Vietnamese Embassy spokesman said.

A group of 13 Thai fishermen, detained briefly at a prison in southern Vietnam in July, said they spotted the two Westerners in a jail cell and were told by guards that the pair was suspected of illegal oil exploration.
The embassy spokesman said the Vietnamese Foreign Ministry informed the British Embassy in Hanoi that Knight and Graham were in custody on charges of illegal entry into Vietnamese waters.

First severance-tax payments expected to total $23 million
By United Press International
TOPEKA — The pocketbooks of Kansas oil and natural gas producers may be a little thinner, but the state's coffers should be $23 million richer by the end of the month because of the first remittances of severance taxes.
Although some purchasers of oil and gas production in the state have opted to turn severance tax withholdings into the state early, most tax receipts will begin flowing into the treasury in mid-September.
First purchasers of mineral products subject to the tax must withhold the severance taxes and remit them on the 20th of each month.
Producers, however, have the option of calculating the tax themselves and turning it in, said state Revenue Department secretary Harley Duncan.
The mineral severance tax passed by the 1983 Legislature took effect May 1, but purchasers and producers were not required to begin remitting tax receipts until Sept. 20.
Duncan said the state expected to take in $22 million in severance tax receipts in September, covering the tax months of May, June and July. August receipts will be due Oct. 20, September receipts on Nov. 20, and so on.
Adkins named head of Memorial board
"We expect about $7 million a month," Duncan said.

"I just hope to use whatever skills I have to keep people working together," Adkins, former student body president and a first-year law student from Topeka, said yesterday.
The Memorial Corporation is in charge of the Kansas Union and the Burge Union. The unions have an annual business volume of about $10
Adkins was elected president of the corporation last month. Only two other students have served in that position.

Adkins, 22, said he did not think working in a position higher than those of some of the older members of the board would be awkward.
"I imagine they will be much more of a benefit to me than I will be for them," he said. "I am certainly not going to be afraid; now they will always try to be helpful."
KATHERINE GIELE, the board's secretary and the assistant director for programs at the Kansas Union said, "I think we need a new school. I think he'll do a very good job."

He said he didn't think his involvement in University government and organizations were the beginning of a political career.
The position is voluntary. Adkins was student body president during the 1981-1982 academic year and has been actively involved with the Alumni association in New York and memoranda from the Memorial Corporation board during his undergraduate years.
"I would hope to serve my University throughout my life," he said.
His job will consist mainly of coordinating the mini-boards that make up the 35-member board, he said.
ADKINS SAID there were two projects for the Union that were particularly exciting. One of them is the planned renovation of the third level of the Kansas Union, and the other is reorganizing the fourth level.
The board elected six new members for one-year terms during its August 27 meeting. They are Jim Cramer, Prairie Village senior; Jill Eisenkramer, St Louis senior; Matthew Gatewood, Toppea senior; James Bishop, Lawrence University faculty, Lawrence KU alumnus, and Gerhard Zuther, professor of English.
