16 killed in Sino-Viet border clash
By United Press International
China said yesterday its troops beat back two incursions from Vietnam, killing 16 men in the biggest Sino-Vietnamese border clash since violence erupted last week in reaction to a Vietnamese offensive in Cambodia.
CHINESE-BACKED Khmer Rouge guerrillas inflicted heavy casualties on an outnumbered Vietnamese force defending a strategic mountain position in Cambodia, Thai army officers said.
Five Vietnamese were killed and one was wounded, Xinhua said. The fate of the wounded man was not known
The official Chinese news agency Xinhua said a patrol of frontier guards clashed Wednesday with six Vietnamese soilers who forged a borderside river and stole into a cave in Yunnan Province's Jiaoping County.
HOURS LATER, several Vietnamese troops launched a raid against a guard post, but retreated in the face of rifle and machine gun fire. Xinhua said.
County will not buy nursing home
The Douglas County Commission yesterday decided not to proceed with a local nursing home advocacy group's request that the county buy and operate Autumn Manor nursing home, 1800 W. 27th St.
Petey Cerd, president of Kansans for Improvement of Nursing Homes Inc., had asked the commission Monday to consider buying Autumn Manor, which was closed a few weeks after the fire. The commission license for failing to meet state standards.
THE HOME'S clients were transferred to other nursing homes.
Neis also said that since Monday, he had received about 25 phone calls from people opposing the purchase of Autumn Manor.
Commissioner Bob Neis said a local real estate agent had told him that the home was already in the process of being sold to another group.
"I don't feel the country should be in nursing homes," he said. "But I do feel they should be strictly regulated by the state."
NEIS SAID that if the county were to buy a nursing home, the matter should first be put to a county vote.
Commissioner Nancy Hiebert said that county and state health officials had said that a nursing home the county now operated, Valleyview Care Home, 2518 Ridge Court, could be upgraded if the county thought it necessary, rather than buying another nursing home.
"They basically felt pretty positive about the care at Valleyview," she said.
Cerf suggested that the commission put the question of whether the county should buy a nursing home to the voters because it would have been free to act if another home was for sale.
AFTER THE MEETING Cerf said she thought that nursing homes should be run by the government, non-profit or church groups. Some privately owned nursing homes offered poor care for the residents, he said.
But Neis said that some of the people who called him opposing the purchase of Autumn Manor said the county would be competing against free enterprise.
SUA film board cuts fat, ends slump
After a year of losses and declining attendance, Student Union Activities films are making progress this spring with some of the largest audiences in its history.
Mike Gebert, SUA film chairman,
said that although the film program
has been successful.
"I think what we did is figure ways to cut out the fat," he said.
LAST DECEMBER, SUA films was more than $6,000 in debt. However, between January and March, the debt was reduced almost 40 percent
sold out the two days it ran in April,

history, with the third largest attendance.
Over 2,200 people saw the movie,
which brought in about $3,350 in gross
earnings.
The movies with the largest and second largest attendance were "The Graduate" and "Slaughterhouse Five."
"Raiders of the Lost Ark," which was
Gebert attributed the increase in income to decreasing the number of expensive foreign films and older movies, which has recently popular films for weekends.
He said a better selection of films would also help the series.
"WE'RE KIND OF at the mercy of what Holly wood nuts out," he said.
This spring, SUA films cut back by one a week the number of films it showed. For example, there were no film showings on some nights during the week, and some films were shown two nights in a row.
Gerbert said the same number of films would be shown next fall. He said the film committee hoped to continue the upward trend by showing films such as "Gandhi" and "Tootsie."
The Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority and Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity would like to thank everyone who made the third annual Rodeo a success.
