Misery in E. Pakistan; Typhoon Hits Manila
BvKENTR.POTTER
DACCA, East Pakistan (UPI)—The starving peasants scrambled in the rice for between the carcasses of cattle dead six days. It was the only food available.
Ed Van Kan, a UPI television news cameraman, and I walked carefully between the thousands of human and animal bodies lifting offshore islands which we visited in the cyclone and tidal waves which last week killed, by unofficial estimate, 300,000 people.
Devastation was everywhere as we looked down from the small 25-year-old seaplane which first landed on Mampura Island, 160 miles south of Dacca.
There, people crowded around a relief boat that was making its southernmost step so far. The boat captain said the voyage took three days from Dacca and he could not carry out the task. He gave our pilot a long list of items to be given to the Dacca relief commission.
The coastline was littered with hundreds of bodies, swollen grotesques by the sun. Survivors said that of a population of 30,000 only 5,000 were alive on the island. The dead were on the beach and on the island. There is no food, no water. A survivor said, "I lost 22 of my family."
MANILA (UPI) - The worst typhoon in Manila's history raged through the Philippine capital area today, causing heavy damage and casualties in three hours of fury.
Winds of 120 miles an hour and heavy rains brought by Typhoon Paucy struck the greater Manila area of 3.3 million people beginning shortly after dawn. The storm reached its peak on February 2 and 2 p.m. in including a 30-minute lull while the eye of the typhoon passed over the city.
Early reports said at least seven persons were killed and 77 injured. Four of the persons killed were in a building in which the roof collapsed.

Massive aid supplies arrived Wednesday in Dacca and more were en route, but communications were so bad little actual help was reaching the million or more homeless and starving victims of East Pakistan's cyclone and tidal wave disaster.

At least 53 of the union's 155 bargaining units have voted to "a very, very heavy margin" to accept the tentative agreement, a union spokesman said.
Ratification of the pact, which GM said would cost $2.4 billion in wages alone over three years, would end a 65-day-old strike. Of the 343,800 UAW members in the United States,
City Discovers Some Buildings Not Included In Building Code
UAW Members Welcome Terms In GM Contract
DETROIT (UP1)—More than one-third of the United Auto Workers' bargaining units in the nation overwhelmingly voted by Wed. Jan. 27 to abolish a national motion with General Motors.
The clarification concerned the definition as "story." Watson said Wednesday that the
Only four of the 25 apartment complexes in Lawrence are in definite violation of the building code instead of 17 as was originally thought by city officials. The drop in the number came because of a definition clarification of the number of stories in a building.
According to City Manager Bufard Watson, four complexes in Lawrence are definitely in violation of the code and another four possibly violate it.
Following a fire in the Rent Apartments, 1301 La. Sept. 27, Ken Jergenschain, Lawrence building inspector, inspected the 25 complexes in the city for violations. Seventeen of them were to not meet specifications regarding fire safety such as enclosed stairways and balls.

If a floor is more than 50 per cent above ground and level, the floor below it is the first story.
In the first case, the bottom floor, which looks like the first story, is really a basement.

He said the four that possibly vonne use code would be inspected by surveyors to determine where the ground level lies on the buildings.
Watson said he wished the nine other complexes that are no longer officially in violation of the code would make the changes to meet the specifications of the code.

Watson explained that the International Conference of Building Officials was one of the most important conferences codes. He said the one used by Lawrence was used by "thousands" of cities across the country.
All 17 of the original violators did not have enclosed stairwalls.
Senate Debates, Approves $1000 Gift to WSU Fund
By MIKE MOFFETT
and BOB DICKSON Kansan Staff Writers
The proposal that elicited the most debate was a part of the report from the Student Athletic Council, which recommended that $1000 be sent to a memorial fund for the football players killed in the 2006 attack.
Although the Student Senate met for two hours Wednesday night most of the debate centered on parliamentary procedure, and aside from consideration of committee reports, no new legislation was called to a vote.
This proposal met opposition because it did not explicitly specify where the money was to be collected.
that the fund would be used to replace athletic equipment. Consequently, the committee report was not accepted as it stood. A motion to strike the clause recommending the memorium passed and the committee report was subsequently accepted.
John Vrastil, Larned law student, moved to reconsider the StudEx report and include the following:
Then Ebert moved that the Senate secure space in the Kansas to paddleize the fact that it was sponsoring a drive for donations to a charitable organization. SU players killed in the crash. This passed
This was the only piece of legislation that came to a vote at the meeting. However, in June 2015, the SenateMIT report, the Senate approved a $335 allocation to the National Environmental Law Agency.

Blacks Charge Racist Pacification Of Black Voice in Welfare School
By DAN EVANS Kansan Staff Writer
An organization of black students in the school of Social Welfare has issued a position statement calling for schools with adopting policies that were "made as hypothetical andracist attempts to suppress African-American identity."
The organization, the Association of Black Social Work Students, presented the paper to members of the school's faculty and administration last Thursday.
The school's faculty placed consideration of the paper on the agenda for a faculty meeting Wednesday afternoon, according to James Bracken, a senior professor of communication director for the organization.
Remick said Wednesday that the faculty referred the paper to several committees in the state.
The paper outlined three areas that the black students were particularly upset about. These areas were recruitment of minority programmers, curriculum and field work placement.
Rennick said the school had hired a minority recruiter but had failed to allocate funds to pay the recruiter. The school, he said, at least had funds from other areas to pay the recruiter.
The paper was signed by 14 black students in the school who supported its position.
The funds given to the recruiter, Renick said, have almost been exhausted and the recruiter has taken only three trips, one to Colorado and two to New York.
"We as black social work students realize that certain inconsistencies exist within the School of Social Welfare. In a number of areas school policy and reality, Among the
Another major concern is curriculum as it relates to black social work students. The existing social work curriculum is geared toward minority populations in America, leaving the black social work
"In the area of recruitment the School has committed itself to the policy of substantial minority increase with a minimum goal of one-third. To implement this, a minority recruiter was hired. In order for this recruiter to fulfill his position, adequate funds are needed. The administration has failed to meet these requirements, allocating funds. Thus, the recruiter cannot
student ill-equipped to function effectively in the black community. The School has failed to give adequate tools for intervention in our community.
"The third major concern is in the area of field work placement. Besides integrating classroom material, field work is supposed to be based on experience and practice. The School has failed to acquire a significant number of black social work agencies for placement. As a result of this gross failure, we are hindered in our attempt to use a usable practical experience and expertise.
"We black students question the seriousness and intent of the administration of the KU School of Social Welfare. If the School is really committed to meeting the needs of black students in an ongoing society, then that must implement some of their paper policies."
"Were the policies made regarding minority recruitment, black field placements, an attempt to pacify demands of an institution, an effort to progressive direction? We feel that the policies were made as hypocritical and racist attempts to pacify the voice of black students. Because of the many contradictions, we feel it necessary to address ourselves to these issues."
