department so that it is less military-oriented. The advocates of this view argue that police actions are based on methods of action of the police that causes Fiction with many of the young factions in
But Watson and Harrell said they thought the police would continue to be military forces.
"There has to be pride in the organization," Watson said. "The uniforms help to instill this pride. Also, police officers must be trained." "If a fire officer must be a semi-military organization."
On the other hand are those who argue that the police have not enough training and discipline to be qualified to handle weapons in volatile situations. These are the people who fail to respond appropriately to emotion and tension of the situation, rather than according to set procedure and policy.
BOTH THE CAMPUS and Lawrence police departments have policies to govern the use of weapons. Thomas said the policy of the department was that a weapon was permissible only when the life of the officer or another person was endangered. Watson gave the policy of the Lawrence Police Department as allowing the firing of arms on someone who wasanger was being committed.
Much controversy has been spawned about the need to expand campus security and policing departments after the attack. As the United States has expanded the Lawrence Police Department is concerned, Harrell said he thought the Lawrence civilians were in favor of expansion.
“If we asked the voters to approve funds for expansion of the department right now, I would have said that the voters would have an opportunity to pass a “package deal” during the next bond elec-
This plan would include the sale of bonds to finance a new fire station and staff it, as well as add to the police force, but the addition of the police force would stop approval of the entire package plan.
WILL THE POLICE FOLLOW in Lawrence change in practice the organization well, in light of its own history, retain a certain structure. Harrell he thought the organizational structure of the police force would be changed
This could come in one of two ways, he said. The state could organize a state police force that would deal with criminal activity in the city and county could combine into a metropolitan police force that would work together.
If the system works as he envisions it, it could provide alleviation of at least one other major problem with the police force in Lawrence—the expense. According to Watson's figures, the cost of public safety officers, accounts for 23 cents of every dollar in the city budget. Even this is not enough to provide the sort of protection many Lawrence citizens think the police force should be giving, nor does it help cut down on the long hours and double shifts Lawrence policemen spend on major distress in the community.
Of the two, Harrell prefers the metropolitan organization because, he says, it would stop duplication of services and city police, save money and offer better and more certain protection and investigation. Harrell foresees the improvement in Daunda County in the next 4-6 years.
ON THE CAMPUS, the Traffic and Security Office works with a total budget of $251,000 for patrolmen's salaries and office help wages, coming from revenue from parking fines.
Additional officers and expansion of equipment and facilities would put an added strain on the University's budget, as would a drop in student enrollment to put a strain on already tight booklets.
And there is no guarantee that additional forces would solve the problems of the police in Lawrence. It is a problem that can perhaps be solved by providing an understanding the dilemma of the policeman and through cooperation among the police, city police and their respective communities.
Student Senate Delays Activity Fee Cut Action
BY BOB DICKSON
Kansan Staff Writer
The Student Senate deferred action on a statute on appropriations pending a Board of Regents ruling on the reduction in the student financial aid special meeting Wednesday night called to consider old business, senators quickly passed four amendments regarding the appropriations measure.
The chief executive said he was again urging each agency head to issue clear instructions, state vehicle states and caution employees using them to observe the rules. He said he was also alerting employees to be alert for violations of the rules.
Docking Says State Cars Being Misused
"This complaint constituted the most blatant alleged misuse of a state automobile, but my colleague was not complaining other complaints," Doekings said.
TOPEKA (UPI)-Gov. Robert B. Docking, in a letter today to heads of state agencies, urged them to review their policies on use of state care following what we have seen most blatant aliased misuse."
The governor's letter said seven men had used a state-owned automobile to go hunting in Republic County.
State cars are only supposed to be used on state business. In some cases, state employees are given them from work directly home.

Kick von Ede, Abilene, Texas,
graduate student, presented a motion to defer action on the fee for the student. Regents agreed to reduce the fee.
Von Ende said that state law empowered the Regents, and only them, to receive the act of signing the bill. The Senate would maintain control over the fees, instead of possibly leaving a vast fund
The motion to table the statute on appropriations received the vote in favor. David Miller, Edera senior and Student Senate treasurer. He said that the statute would probably be rejected if the motion to table had failed.
Four other items of old business received senatorial attention and all passed with virtually no objection. The fourth piece of quartet was an enactment proposed by Dave Awbrey, Hutchinson graduate student. In the original enactment, the Senate were asked to abolish the and University Senate would be asked to appoint an ad-hoc committee to create a conduct code that would bind students' faculty and adjunctures.
Awbrey's legislation charged that the Board of Regents and the Athletic Association had failed to amend the amended version that retained the charges but deleted the abolition of the Code itself passed in 1965.

One by-laws amendment said the applications for positions in university committees would be interviewed by the Student Executive Com
The evacuated students contained the fire and the cold weather while they waited outside the building. Many of them said they doubted there was enough water to stop the fire.
Another by-laws amendment provided for the discussion and vote on any resolution on its first action, and a second serious objection within the Senate.

Because the buxom divorcee, 22, already served 13 months in jail for cheating her out and suspended the rest, allowing her to go free. She said she would stay with her husband there, although she was evicted from her apartment during the custody battle.

"I don't want to harm nobody," she said in broken English when freed. "I like Americans. I was under pressure when I did what I knew."
The hall's resident assistants searched the upper levels of the building, including the security officers and buildings and grounds people checked the interior.
FRANKFURT  Germany
Marylin Furter, a driver, who gave up her stripease act to spy for Communist Hungary, was sentenced today to three years in prison for a successful career that included stealing a telephone book and a video tape.
A call was received about 7:55 p.m. by Perry Kepka, Elsworth fifth year pharmacy student, who took the resident assistant on duty
Prosecutors claimed the shapely blonde used her charms plus "gifts and other favors" to get the police into giving her confidential military information which she used to the Hungarian secret police.
Mike Thomas, director of KU Traffic and Security, said he was called at home and evacuation had already been ordered when the car crashed.
Templin Hall was evacuated and searched after a bomb threat Wednesday evening.
Rather than enlisting or being inducted, many draft registrants turn to the National Guard or the U.S. Army for active duty in the armed forces at a minimum. Both the guard and the infantry are required to reserve duty. In addition, the guard requires six months of service and the reserve requires seven.
Kansas Staff Writer
Has anyone assumed the responsibility of planning your personal financial plan, not just like to try to qualify.
Capt. Kelly J. Coben of the Lawrence-based reserve unit said last week eliminating the draft would hurt the Army Reserve because the majority of troops were an alternative to the draft.
"It will be harder to get people to come in," he said. "The reserve will have to change to make it more attractive."
"The guard never wanted anybody to come in to avoid the dread of being taken away, the poorest ways to escape the draft, because of the civil war."

Both units are presently slightly over full strength. Cobaean said that there were 122 units on the floor, and allowed to be 10 per cent over the authorized total. There is no waiting list for the reserve unit and Cobaean expects that losses will be minimal. The unit at authorized strength.
He said that there would probably be a pay increase but it would be a rehearsal rather than not more per drill. At present, a guard must watch the warehouse, where Reservists receive $30 per 4-hour drill, the same as an Army private. Reservists receive $25 per 4-hour drill.

Cobean said there was an influx of transfers every year.
Gutherie said 75 was the total strength for the guard unit, but “We’re running three or four men overstrenown.”
There are 23 men on the waiting list. Gatherer said if a man put his name on the waiting list, he was not committed to join the guard. Gatherer said he did not commit to joining how many he could enlist.
"We have to take transfers before we enlist any new men." he said.
In Army Reserve, National Guard
HE SAID THERE were a couple of high school seniors drilling with the unit without pay until the school year ended, and they could go to boot camp. But not will be shortened, he said.
The guard unit is held at two-thirds strength. Gutherie said, and is filled with draftees and wrestlers when called to active duty.
"Their duty doesn't start until they take the oath of allegiance," Gutherie said.
The two units are basically different. The reserve unit is almost entirely instructors. The guard unit consists of a reco-

naissance platoon and a heavy mortar platoon.
"SOMETIMES IT'S two years before going on the road," he said, few cases he bead. "We do take those going into graduate school if they'll be better prepared."
If a reservoir has more than four unexcused absences during a year, he will go on active duty. If the reservoir has less time he has been in the reservoir.
The guard likes to keep all units with all hometown members, but they don't want to admit that the majority of the unit's members were KU students that
"Almost all guard units are close to colleges and almost all guardmen are college students." he said.
"We've got people from Topeka, Kansas City, Badinw, Eudora and all sorts of other places." he said.
Cobeen said that only half his men were from Lawrence.
RE-ENLISTMENT is being seen more and more as the way to keep the guard and the reserves at full strength.
Cobean said the majority left after six years and very few enlisted in the reserves after being in the active services.
Gutherie, on the other hand, said many guardsmen re-enlisted after six years because they had rank.
"There are no privates with five or six years of service," he said. "All are non-commissioned officers."
What about morale?
"One problem is making the game as easy as possible, doing is important." Cobae said. "The reserves are designed to take over basic training to let the players know what to do."
"Most people don't feel a need for what they're doing. Their attitude is that they're preparing to use their skills, but being used is slim. If they went out and used their skills, they would feel more incentive to develop skills. They might not be more skilled, or could be more of a team work unit."
HE SAID THAT most of his enmied enjoyed their time in the reserves, and that all he asked him to give him an honest effort.
The morale in the guard unit is a little different.
Guardsmen may leave the guard anytime after they have served their six years.
"The morale is always high, because they're all volunteers," Gutheir said. "There are things like not like, but not enough to get out."
Gutherie said that the public's attitude toward the guard was changing.
"People don't think the guard is a police force anymore," he said. "That's a big mistake they used to make."
Gutherie said the guard was different from the regular Army, because the men trained themselves at drills and summer

professionals," he said of his men.
Gutherie said guard recruits, must meet stringent mental and physical standards. Some college students also need the mental examination, he said.
He said the guard was supplemental to the Army and the peacekeeping war and to serve during peacetime civil disturbances and
HE SAID A police man in civilian life might be a military policeman in the guard or a civilian officer. He could be a truck driver in the guard.
All recruits to the Lawrence unit are sent to Kansas City for their pre-induction physical, he
"There's hardly a year goes by that the guard isn't called to a disaster area," he said.
"They're more stringent with our guys," Gustyle said. "They tell me unofficially that they can take my physical and then draft them."
GUTHERIE'S UNIT was not called up for active duty during the war in Lawrence last spring and in Hawaii recently returned from active duty. The reserve unit has not been called up in the last ten months.
When the guard is called for riot duty, it replaces the police, he said.
A continuing source of concern for the skin on hair length. This is especially true with the reserves, because the men spend almost all of their time in the sun.
Last week a St. Louis army reservist complained to Missouri Senator Stuart Symington that
the army should allow longer hair, beards and sideburns because the Navy had decided to do so.
THE COMPLAINER said he needed hair longer than regulations allowed in order to maintain his public image.
