Soviet Craft Rolls Across Moonscape
MOSCOW (UPI)—The Soviet Union Tuesday sent an eight-wheeled lunar cart shaped like a large silver kettle rolling over the moon's Sea of Rains in the first trip by an unmanned machine over the surface of a celestial body.
The "Lunokhod" cart descended a gangway from the Lana 17 moshroom early on Sunday, "immediately started on a series of attempts to get the news coverage," Tass, the Soviet news agency, said. The Lana 17 mother ship softlanded on August 8, even days after it was launched from earth.
Scientific commentators suggested the craft would remain on the moon to "install at different sets of scientific instruments that will operate for a long time."
Lamokod I carries a scientific payout伞 includes two television camera eyes, a French-made laser beam radio and radio equipment to receive signals by which earphones it on a historic 63-6 foot crawl over the mural. Its batteries are powered by solar energy.
Another unmanned Soviet craft, Luna 16, softlanded on the moon last month, scoped lunar rock, then carried it back to earth after being launched into a specific station from another celestial body's surface.
Both accomplishments represent a major advance on the Russian space program, giving Moscow back some of the glory it lost in 1987. Pictures of the moon cart showed by Moscow television resembled science fiction movies. The prototype of the Lunokhod looked like a huge silver kettle on wheels with two antennas and a variety of antennas on its top.
A television commentator said the moon cart was placed on Luna 17 in a space shuttle carrying Rockets, an indication that the mother ship could not be able to make the earthbound journey.

The stocky, 27-year-old defendant flushed with anger at an sense of the claims made by prosecutor Capt. Aubrey M. Daniel III during his 21-minute opening statement. Other times Calley smiled or scribbled notes on a yellow pad and passed them to his attorney.
The third, Roger L. Alaxon of Temple, Ariz., who was on long the My Lai operation, told of seeing Vietnam civilians lying in front of a tank. The soldiers were dead although he did not examine them.
Trial judge Reid W. Kennedy recessed the first day of testimony in the Calley trial at 4:15 p.m. EST. It will resume at 8:30 a.m., a half-hour earlier than usual.
The young lieutenant is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of 102 South Vietnamese civilians on March 16, 1968. On that day his platoon made a sweep through the little hamlet of My Lai. If convicted, he could be put to death or sentenced to life
While the Army was detailing its charges against Calley at Ft. Benning, another chapter in the alleged My Lai massacre was unfolding at Ft. Hood, T. A. witness in the court-martial of S. Sig.

1970 has not been a good year for relations between the Kansas Board of Regents and the University of Kansas. It has been a year in which the university misunderstanding, and certainly controversy.

One who has followed the actions of the regents closely throughout the last nine months can look back and distinguish at least five major encounters between KU and the regents, ranging from promotions of professors to the Black Student Union fee allocation. But no matter how closely one is related to the university, there is always the danger of tripping over misquotation, misunderstanding and general confusion.
Although a final decision had not been made on the future of the two men, the students of the University of Kansas began a long effort to protest the failure of the regents to promote them. A student strike, including rallies and boycotting of classes was scheduled for

S. Viet Troops Plunge After Reds in Cambodia
Officers directing the 6,000-man sweep named "Operation Nguyen Hue" after a Vietnamese national hero, said they found the huge store of 85 million shells in underground installations 280 miles northeast of the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh. The operation launched Monday, is the first rush into northwest Cambodia.
SAIGON (UPI)—South Vietnamese troops pushing into northeastern Cambodia in a new operation have captured 244 tons of Communist artillery shells stored in underground bunkers, the largest such ammunition seizure of the Indochina War, military spokesman said Tuesday.
The operation, launched Monday, is the first push into northeastern Cambodia since American troops spearheaded a drive into the area last May, spokesmen in Saigon said. American troops had abandoned the densely jungled thinly populated northwestern provinces to the Communists, in order to concentrate on protecting key provinces around Phnom Penh.
Elsewhere in Cambodia, Communist troops attacked Cambodian positions on Route 8 about 10 miles northeast of Phnom Penh after dawn Tuesday, killing nine persons and causing three injuries.
The report said the heaviest fighting occurred at a position held by two government battalions at Odessa with an estimated 500 Communists attempting to overrun the camp in a

"Some tried to run. They didn't make it. They were shot down, in cold blood, on the ground."
Command spokesman said the 3rd Battlefield, 12th Infantry of the 4th Infantry Division and the 25th Aviation Battalion of the 25th Infantry had "stood down" to pack for home. Giant U.S. B52 bombers Tuesday hit Ho Chi Minh Trail extensions into Cambodia for the second consecutive day, U.S. spiked attacks. The huge jets have飞落 over 1,300 missions against the trail in Laos and its extensions into Cambodia and South Vietnam since Oct. 8 with a massive effort to cut North Vietnamese supply lines.
Awbey cited the deletion of the student fee allocation for the Oread Daily and the refusal of the university to permit the use of sponsored "jog-in" as violations of the code.
Unofficial estimates of the number of dean ran far ahead of the official count and authorities said an accurate tally was imputed, as they concentrated on saving survivors.
"The students aren't getting any benefit from the cede. We've made our own hangings."
OFFICIAL ESTIMATES said about $3,000 persons had been killed, but reports publisher locally said the foul toll in the 2,382-square mile attack might ultimately reach one-half million.
The Pakistan Times, published in Lahore by the Government Press Trust, said officials during the death toll feared the figure might be over 100. The extent of devastation. The times said that belief was reinforced by discovery of a bomb were engulfed by the catastrophe last Thursday.
It was becoming increasingly clear that the disaster would rank among the worst recorded calamities in history, perhaps even more so than the ravaged China's Han Province in 1897.
The university administration has totally ignored the code, Awbrey said, except when it wanted to use it to discipline students who were "acting up."
Those who lived through the catastrophe told of clinging to the tails of cattle or hungging
"It makes me sick to see the administration saying that they will prosecute anyone who violates 'our student-originated' code," he said.
"At present, only the students have responsibility. Awareness of this responsibility is guaranteed by the AAPU (Association of American University Professors), and the administration has only responsibility."
The student code gave control of activity fees to the Student Senate, Awbrey said, and it also called for student access to all university facilities.

William Balfour, Vice-Chancellor for Student Affairs and chairman of the committee on campus, represents the committee in a meeting Monday at 7:30 in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union. Other members of the committee and representatives of the city also spoke at the meeting.
The major role of the OI-Campus Housing Committee in alleviating the housing situation, and Baileh, is that of educator of students or disputes between tenants and landlords.
"Students in this area of deficient housing seem to be ignorant of their rights as a resident, and have been exposed to conditions in many cases definitely violate health and safety standards, our major problem in correcting the situation is a reluctance on the part of tenants to file complaints."
"If we receive a complaint, we almost always act on it. I said Jerry Cochran, who is the principal."
A film of health and safety violations in a local housing, taken one year ago by members of the committee, was shown at the museum. A senior and a member of the committee, pointed out violations of the law that the city inspector could force landlords to repair
The Student Senate Committee on Off-Campus Housing has also developed a model lease for students to use in dealing with their landlords.
"It is developing this lease," said Bill Ward, Werita graduate student and member of the board of directors of Weiss Energy. He says it will help both parties. We think its use can improve the tenant-landlord relationship from both sides.
According to Ward, the lease, among other things and prohibited retaliatory eviction by a landlord whose tenant has complained to the Lawrence building, incurs the Lawrence building and housing code.
Few students have used the lease, said Ward, because of a lack of knowledge of its existence and because of refusal on the part of landlords to accept its conditions.

"The student code has brought about a great deal of change from just one year before," Chalmers said. "Before the code, it was extremely difficult to administer it, administered by the university, administration."
"This year the Senate allocated all of the fees except for five points, and all of the changes made by the Board of Regents are approved by the Finance Committee's original recommendations.
This means that the Student Senate made 95 per cent of this year's activity fee allocations,
Concerning his own deletions of the Oread Daily publication, Chalmers said he was acting according to the Senate's established policy and wrote a name of the editor on every student publication.
"The Oread Daily had already broken the code (by failing to name its editors) and I, therefore, do not regard my action as a break with the code." Chalmers said.
Charles Oldfather, professor of law and associate dean of the law school, commented on the Athletic Board's refusal to open the stadium for the "jok-in."
"The Athletic Board decided that the 'jog' was an inappropriate use of the track." Oldfather said. "This is a decision-making power given to the board by the code-Article
"Someone has to make these decisions about what is appropriate, you know."
Oldfather said the track was always available for bona fide recreational purposes, provided they did not interfere with the track squad's use of the stadium.
