Union, the group went to Fraser Hall, Blake Hall and finally Watson Library. At Fraser Hall they would be in the first floor halls, chanting. While the marches were in Blake, a fire alarm in the building alarmed all those in front of it.
At Watson the group marched from the first floor to the third floor and back down. From Watson, the group marched to Strong for one last time. The marchers then proceed back
The group was large enough when it got to the Union to temporarily block the entrance of Boulevard. Traffic on Jayhawk Boulevard could not move around the machines. Busses were slowed and at one point there were three buses together slowly following the march.
The group began singing "I Am Somebody,
You Are Somebody," and chanting "Join the
Group."
From the Union, the marchers went back to the intersection of Jayhawk Boulevard and
A rally was planned for 1:30 p.m. today on the step of Strip, Washington said.
Sunflower Road. They gathered in the middle of the intersection, where Washington spoke to them. After he finished, the group dispersed to go to classes to urge others to join the
During the march, several people painted "Strike," and "Support Gary" on sidewalks. One of the bus drivers named Telephone Co. truck driver found "Strike" had been painted on the side of the truck
Mike Thomas, director of KU Traffic and Security, said persons would be arrested if caught painting anything on kU sidewalks or in parking lots. If it is positive identification could be obtained
Harry Buchholz, superintendent of the physical plant, said Tuesday that it could cost several thousand dollars to remove the painted signs. Buchholz said a final damage estimate had not been made. The signs, he said, would probably have to be sandblasted.

University of Kansas, support the black faculty and students in their just efforts to secure academic due process for all students and to obtain a clear statement of the Regents' policy of avoiding interference in individual personnel actions for which other university officials have have authority.
"If the Regents fail to take action at their next meeting, reaffirming their support of academic due process and reaffirming their traditional policy of leaving personnel actions to the university administration, then we affirm our intent to take such actions and we are to reaffirm a normal relationship between the Regents and the university."
Pollution . . .

Heller pointed out that the use of the word "formally," by the black faculty did not indicate that they would not meet with their classes.
Chemical salts present another threat to the health of the river. These substances dissolve in the water and are toxic.
treatment plant, in which water is purified biologically to be in operation by 1872 at a rate of 100 gallons per hour.
The FMC Corporation's Inorganic Chemical Division northeast of Lawrence dumps water with concentrations of phosphates of about 850 parts per million. Wastes are not treated at the plant, according to G. Maynard Stark, the plant's resident manager. The amount of phosphates dumped in the plant totals about 1,400 pounds each day.
The Cooperative Farm Chemicals Association (Coop), east of Lawrence on K-10, produces a different kind of salt, nitrates, and dumps 300-400 pounds of these chemicals into the pond. This is a central concentration of 90-100 parts per million, according to plant officials.
A second form of pollution threatening Lawrence is air pollution. Every time they inhale, Lawrence residents are likely to breath hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and lead produced by automobiles and oxides of nitrogen, nitrates and sulfur produced by local industries.
Air quality authorities say automobiles are the chief source of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide in the atmosphere. A study conducted last spring by the Lawrence Journal-World with the help of KU scientists calculated that about 38 tons of carbon monoxide, 6 tons of hydrocarbons and 3 tons of pollutants were released into Lawrence each day. This is a total of 17,155 tons of pollutants produced by cars each year in Lawrence alone.
Technological advances have lowered the rate of automobile pollution in recent years. The growing number of cars in operation, and the fact that any progress made in reducing pollution.
The major industrial pollutants of air in Lawrence are the Co-op, the FMC Corp., the Kansas Power and Light Company and DuPont.
The brownish yellow smoke produced at the Co-op contains nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide, two oxides of nitrogen which are poisonous gases. The Co-op has been working on its air pollution problem for years and has made large reductions in the amount of CO$_2$ emitted so, 750 pounds of oxides of nitrogen are released into the air every day at the Co-Op.
The FMC Corp. produces particulate phosphate pollution. The amounts of these phosphates vary from 27 to 192 pounds a day. The chemicals are being manufactured in the plant.
Kansas Power and Light produces sulfur dioxide when it uses coal to fire its steam turbine generators. The company has installed pollution control equipment on its plant. Austin Stedman, division manager for the plant, says that about 60 percent of the sulfur dioxide from the plant's exhaust. Eight tons of sulfur dioxide a day escape the pollution control system, however,
and enter the atmosphere. A new plant is being built near Lawrence which will produce nearly 30 times as much power as the old plant for the agricultural equipment for the new plant cost $3 million.
DuPont has spent $3.5 million for control of air pollution yet sometimes hydrogen sulfide gas from the plant can be detected more than 14 miles away in downtown Lawrence.
Planning . . .
How polluted is Lawrence? Most experts think that pollution problems in the town can be traced to the city's industrial industry.
The chloride, sulfate and nitrate counts in the Kansas River are all below the maximum levels allowed by standards set by the Federal Water Pollution Control Advisory Board. The critical measurement of pollution, is above the minimum level set by the state. Melville Gray, clay environmental health officer for Kansas, says all local firms dumping wastes into the river are doing so at safe levels for the environment. There are problems for the things it is used for, he says.
Lawrence has the second greatest concentration of sulfur dioxide in its air of any Kansas town (McPerson has the first). It is 19th out of 30 towns in terms of settleable concentrations. Twenty-six suspended particulates (those which settle out of the air extremely slowly if at all). The concentration of suspended particulates in Lawrence's air is 30 per cent above the standards in effect in the Kansas City area. Similar standards are expected to be adopted by the state of Kansas. In order to preserve the difference, these statistics were obtained by the Kansas Air Quality Conservation monitoring network in tests conducted through last December.

Fires...
At about the same time as the Extension fire, a minor fire was reported in the south trash chute of Ellsworth Hall. That fire was easily extinguished and there was no damage.
The two barrels were in a small storage oom inside the restroom. The storage room s used for storing brooms, mops, towels, the arreels and other justorial supplies.
The barrels were pushed out of the restroom and into the hall by a Lawrence fireman. The fire was extinguished in the hall with a portable extinguisher,
Smoke from the fire in Strong filled the west hall of the second floor. One of the trash canns was a large, plastic barrel. The fire melted the barrel and filled the hall with a stench. The other trash can was a cardboard barrel that was totally destroyed.
The fire at the Extension building was at the southeast corner on the third floor. Firemen reached the fire from a fire escape directly outside the room and extinguished the fire with one stream of water from a pumper truck.
"We have to work with existing deficiencies of 20 to 30 years ago," he said, "but only isolated homes in Lawrence are in very bad condition."
"Lawrence has the same type of problem as any other city of similar size," William M. Lucas, associate dean of the School of Architecture and Urban Design, said recently.
Short said a rehabilitation and conservation program could be put into effect to make even the most bullied areas of Lawrence livable. But such a program would require relations within the neighborhoods affected.
"It began the same as small town across the United States, with a helter-skelter development. Then came the 1950s, and a tremendous growth rate. Development was rapid, and that resulted in a bad appearance. Now a planning board looks at overall appeal and sees that there are more concerned about appearance and are demanding that things be done correctly."
Michel is a newcomer to Lawrence, having arrived here this September. He said the natural geography of the city helped give each section a well-defined character, and he was especially impressed with the aesthetic beauty by the natural features of the Kansas River.
One improvement in the appearance of things in Lawrence was suggested last week by Louis F. Michel, associate professor in the School of Architecture and Urban Design.
"The area could be loaded with urban amenities," he said. "It could be divided into small sections incorporated into an environment for human life, such as small shopping areas, a park, walkways, sculpture, parks, areas with ducks swimming nearby."

Washington said that if a small number of pickets turned out for today's strike activities they would be limited to attempting to gain permission to talk to classes on the strike. If a large number turned out the strikers will be forced to try to try to talk to students on the street, he said.
However, an imprimenta in meeting of 150 faculty members called earlier Tuesday by black faculty and staff members, it was stressed that black members of the faculty will not "formally" conduct classes, will not be expected to teach, and will attempt to politicize as many faculty members and students as possible concerning the strike.
Mrs. Bond said, "The black faculty is specifically on strike until Gary Jackson is reinstated or a satisfactory statement is given." She pointed out concerns concerning the reason for his dismissal".
The action came shortly after Secretary of State William P. Rogers told a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee the administration had no intention to send troops into Cambodia again.
The restriction, hailed as a victory by critics of the war, would add Cambodia to a prohibition enacted last year
Instead, Rogers appealed for $255 million in foreign aid to bolster Cambodia's army—a step which he acknowledged would be only the first installment in a bilateral aid program for Indochina.
Strike Shuts Lights Out In Britain
LONDON (UPI): A slowdown in travel by British and packed much of Britain for the consecutive day Tuesday, and other workers stage a 24-hour drive through many automobile plants, dozens markets, schools and pharmacies.
In Northern Ireland, the government established a state of emergency to make excess use of electricity a rule and the power blackout was extended to Buckingham Palace where attendants to Queen Elizabeth II were housed.
Prime Minister Edward heath said in a statement to the 125,000 workers staging strikes and rallies against power stations that their action was causing "grave hardship to the industry and endangering health."
Nevertheless, labor union leaders called out many other workers on new laws in the United States of Britain's nationally circulated newspapers, most of its docks and many automated schools, schools for 24 years.
The electrical power workers began their slowdown Monday to support their demands for 30 per cent of the annual budget equivalent to about $13.92 weekly on the average. Heath's Conservative Party government has offered 10 per cent, an average of 8 per cent more. The strike involving other workers Tuesday was called to protest government legislation designed to reduce the power of unions and curtail wildcat施工。
The restriction cleared the Senate swifty and without operation appropriations bill for the Defense Department. It still must pass the House, which has appa-
toried legislation but does not without similar language. The two bills now go to a Senate-House conference to run out all the
Union leaders claimed about 500,000 workers joined the 24-hour strike Tuesday, but employer officials said the total was about 200,000.

"The Walkout," the various trades in a 24-hour strike, the electrical power workers
down was scheduled to continue.
A spokesman for the State Electricity Council said power reduction reached 31 per cent during hours of peak consumption Tuesday and covered Britain at one time or another.

WASHINGTON (UPI)- For the second time this year, the Senate voted Tuesday to but the military against combat troops in Cambodia after the administration appealed for money to save Vietnam.
Senate Passes Defense Bill

It was similar in its effect to a controversial measure that deadlocked the Senate for two years. The Senate passed the Nixon administration fought it as a constitutional abridement of the president's powers to protect his troops. That measure finally worked. Mr. Bush opposed another Senate-house conference. Now that U.S. troops are out of Cambodia, the White House decided not to fight the restricting passage by the President still opposes it.
against the use of U.S. ground combat troops in Laos and Thailand.
But Sen. Frank Church, D-Daloa, who led the floor fight for the earlier amendment, contended that the bill would become law it would "constitute a further expression of the right of Congress to determine where a state should be located." Should the time come when the President decides we should send
American combat troops into Laos, Thailand or Cambodia, he would be obliged to first obtain permission before saying what the constitution intended."
But Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan,
said there was nothing in the bill
"that would tie the hands of any
president in an emergency."
The defense bill, itself, was £2.8 billion under the "rock bottom" amendment in February. But there was a strong chance that many of these cuts, and similar reductions, would be restored in conference.
The measure included funds for such controversial items as the antishalltion missile system, the CAST aircraft and the F11 fighter.
But, in contrast to other big defense bills that required lengthy debate and numerous rollcall votes earlier in the year, it has been held through the Senate in less than seven hours. The bill passed 89-0.
