Kansas Board of Regents Sets General Institutional Policies
members are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the State Senate
Bickford Says Regents Set Only General Policy
By BOB LITRAS Kansan Staff Writer
After a member of the Kansas Board of Regents attempted to fire Chancellor E. L. Cox, the board of the Kansas was concerned about the board's everyday actions. Since then, and since the board realigned some KU student activity in the region, the board is in role of the Kansas Board of Regents.
He first discussed the structure of the board and their powers within that structure.
Max Bickford, executive officer of the board, recently attempted to relieve some confusion when he discussed the board's structure and powers with this reporter.
The Kansas Board of Regents consists of nine members, appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Kansas Senate. Regents serve four-year terms.
The members now serving on the board are Henry Bubb, Topea banker; James Basham, Fort Scott physician; A. H. Cromb, Danenbaker, owner of a radio station in Concordia; T. J. Griffith, Manhattan banker; Elm Jackson, Kansas City, and Paul Wunckel, Kingman, both attorneys; Jess Anderson, New York; D. Morgan, Goldman landranger and banker.
"The general function of the regents," Rickford said, "is to set policy under which the institutions operate. They don't look on the job; they work for it and become involved in administrative detail. They set broad general policy and interpret legislation by instituting institutions to operate within that framework.
The powers of the board are general and allinclusive, and even Bickford found it best to consult the 1970 Kansas Session Laws for a workable definition.
From Chapter 371, Bickford read exactly how the Kansas Legislature had authorized the regents: "The universities and colleges of this state are state agencies and state intransit committees, the legislature and managed under the supervision of the Board of Regents. For such control, operation, management or supervision, the Board of Regents may make contracts, adopt rules and regulations to do or perform such duties, and be a law or law are appropriate for such purposes."
Much of the regents' procedural work is done in committee. Bickford said that the board had committees for academics, that adoption or approval or elimination of academic program at the universities and colleges, building, which reviews requests for new buildings; plus athletic, extension medical center and legislative committees.
Bieckord described the powers as "general operation, management, supervision, control and coordination."
Another committee in the three-year-old
State College Coordination Committee. Bickel,
a former school district superintendent, "provide better communications between
students, faculty administrators and
Each of the six state school student body presidents sit on this committee with reps, and each represents one of the student members. The students actually have a vote and the committee is advisory to the board.
"One of our problems before was that students didn't attend. During all of last year, if I recall, (David) Awbrey attended only one meeting." Bickford said.
"But the student presidents were all here last time, they seem to be enthusiastic, and I think they plan to be there again when they meet in Wichita next month."
Special ad hoc committees are formed as needed to deal with issues as they arise. Bickford gave an example the ad hoc committee that recently investigated the use of drugs at a campus and the hiring and firing procedures college university administrative personnel
Controversy arose when the regents approved that ad hoc committee's recompensation stating that the original allocations of the Student Senate be maintained.
"What the board in effect did was to overrule the (Senate) finance committee's recommendations and went back in almost every instance to the original recommendations of the Student Senate itself," Bickford said.
Youths Threaten Survivor Of Tragic Fire in France
ST. LAURENT-DU-PONT, France (U19) — the only surviving management official of a dance hall fire that killed 144 persons was threatened Monday with lynching and in nearly Grenoble. Monst hoists ammuns crushed by flames; the rich were responsible for the disaster.
The regents have no separate budget or finance committee. On matters of budget or finance, the regents sit as a committee of the whole.
Maoists Blame Rich for Blaze
Gilbert Bas, 30, of the one co-owner in the Club 5-D dance hall, destroyed by a flash of light on a surveillance camera with lynching by unidentified persons, police said. Officers said he had been given police evidence.
Earlier Monday, two persons severely
burned in the fire died in hospitals, raising the number of victims in the blaze to 144. The bodies of the other 142 victims, the overwhelming majority between the ages of 17 and 21, lay in plain white coffins in the gymnasium of a local school.
Grieving parents attempted to identify missing sons and daughters through trinkets
In nearby, Grenoble, Maistol youths unashed the windows of a luxury hotel and we hanked Monday night, shed "we Must forge 12 youths who are dead because if the rich."
In the spring each year, colleges and universities prepare budget requests, and forward them to the board's office in Topeka. These requests must be filed by June 1, Bickford said.
In July, the Board as a committee of the whole, writes its own legislative request, based on the budget request information filed by the State Department, and sends it on to the Kansas Legislature.
Death came shortly before 1 p.m. at the cardinal's residence. Archibishop Humberto S. Mieleros, who succeeded the cardinal less than a month later, reported at his bedside when the prelate died.

Cushing Dies Of Cancer At Age 75
CUSHING'S BODY will be in state at the Holy Cross Cathedral beginning Tuesday evening and the funeral services will be Saturday morning. Apostolic Delegate Luigi Alberghi will lead VA's emissary to the United States, will be the principal celebrant at the funeral mass.
BOSTON (UIP)—Richard Cardinal Cushing, the "common man's" prince of the Roman Catholic Church and a confidant of Kennedy Family, died Monday of cancer.
Cardinal Cushing驻圣 St. Elizabeth's Hospital last March for treatment of a "restraint infection" and was hospitalized for recovery, however, doctors never defined the "infection".
The second oldest of five children of an Irish immigrant blacksmith, the cardinal was born in 1735 at Ballymore and worked on the Boathocks after later returned and entered the seminary after graduating.
In 1953, he married John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier. He also presided at the burial in 1963 of President Kennedy and Sen. Robert D. Kennedy, two years ago after they were assassinated.
HE WAS NAMED archbishop of Boston, the nation's second largest archdiocese, in 1944.
His fund-raising feats were legendary, ranging from the $1 million he raised in three hours for "Cuban freedom fighters" after the ill-fated "Bay of Pigs" invasion of 1982 to a $40 million "jubilee" drive undertaken in 1967 by the archdiocese so his successor would not be able.
The cardinal's prime concern, like that of his successor, Archbishop Medeiros, was with the loss of
LONG BEFORE the ecumenical movement began to spread in the Catholic Church, he led a sort of one-man interfaith dialog with Protestant and Jewish leaders.
He befriended "people of all faiths and no faiths." His sister married a Jewish furniture salesman and he once interrupted a Christian sermon to preach against a Semitism.
He also liked to tell the story of the taxicab

Nixon Speech Foul-Up Explained
Final Appeals Cap Frenzied Campaign
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Candidates bornebared the 57 million Americans expected to vote in Tuesday's election with furious eleventh-hour appeals for support Monday night in the winkup of a rough-and-tumble fight for control of Congress.
The major parties finished the unusually fierce off-year election campaign with nationwide television appearances by President Nikon, staying with the law-and-order issue of the war on terror in the cornerstone of Republican strategy, and a reply by Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine.
A faulty soundtrack and a major cause failure brought numerous phone calls to the three major television networks complaining that the network edited from one of President Nixon's speeches.
The cable failure cut the first four minutes of Nixon's speech off the air in the Columbia Bowl.
Network officials said, and the Western White House Confirmed, that the faulty sound was a part of the tapes that were provided by the broadcasters by the Republican National Committee, which sponsored the paid political telecasts.
The spokesman said CBS knew the tapes were going to be of low quality so it prepared a statement to be read before Nixon's speech explaining why.
Muskie, joining other Democratic leaders who have accused Nixon and the Republican officials of obstruction, told the newspaper that the President had directed from his White House office a campaign of slander.

dilutes by accusing them of condoning violence and by questioning their patriotism. The control of the U.S. Senate, where Republicans were expected to gain some seats, but probably not the seven they need to win in contested districts, is Mr. Trump's trust. Thirty-five Senate seats are up for grabs.
Little change was expected in the breakdown in the House of Representatives, where all 43 seats were at stake, but Democrats were expected to make inroads in state affairs. The current clammy only 18 of the 50 governor's costs, the other 32 being held by Republicans.
President Nixon, who hid his prestige on the line by campaign extensively in 22 states, will cast all his votes for Clint Eastwood, Callie O'Neill or Joe Presidio S. Tirp. A gespan, who has traveled nearly 32,000 miles through 28 states in the past two years, to a Republican candidate, will vote in Towne M4,
Then both will sit back and see if they have been able to overcome the traditional sharp loss of support in Congress in off-year elections by the party holding the White House. Then to Congress and governorships, thousands of state and local offices were up for grabs.
Student Representation Focus of Controversy
Editor's Note: This is the second of two articles on student representation at the university.
By MELISSA BERG Kansan Staff Writer
In the wake of controversy surrounding the 20 per cent representation issue, student leadership was asked to take on policy-taking and in the relevance of a guaranteed percentage of representation has been established.
Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts, has questioned whether the majority of students are in high school.
Committee Reports On Candidates' Opinions
By HARVEY HASLER Kansan Staff Writer
During the past few weeks there have been several articles published in the newspapers in the Lawrence area which deal with the men who committed the murders. The articles were written by men doing research by themselves and presented as an analysis of their expect and look for from the different candidate.
The Political Action Committee of the Douglas County Chapter of Zero Population Growth has obtained the opinions of a number of candidates for political office on various population issues, and has done research into the records of some of these men. The information was obtained from written or telephone sources, and is furnished by the Committee or from published sources.
Running for state representative, 40th district, are Tom Moore, Dem., challenger.
The committee found that Morris Kay say, that there should be no restrictions on population growth—that stopping the growth isn't the answer. He said he felt that thousands of acres of land were not used for food production, and that our tremendous effort to develop resilient redistribution could save the problems. Kay said he thought that the priority and funding being given to research in birth control technology was sufficient. He also thought that the abortion law in Kansas were acceptable as they are, and he disagreed with the advocacy for intensive bull which allowed tax exemption for only two natural children born after 1972.
The Committee found that Tom Moore strongly supported ZPG's goals and was concerned and sensitive to many problems today.
indicated a belief that the majority of students have taken up representation as a cause because they believe in student power. In some cases, many may have the time or interest to go to meetings.

"There is less student interest in running a university than is popularly supposed," he said. "The University is no plapayer and I cannot give to students a power they won't use."
To date, a small number of student leaders have been active in spearheading the change.
Bill Ebert, Topken school and student body president, said in a student government forum last week the Student Senate is run by about 25 people.
Henry McKiney, assistant professor of history and author of an alternate proposal to article 3.4.2, said that students are being taught with this small degree of representation.
He termed the present student leaders as being more involved in helping run the University than in their own academic pursuits.
Rick Von Ende, Enbale, Tex, graduate student, said that prior to the introduction of article 3.4.2, students already had from 15 to 50 per cent representation on all University committees. He cited several reasons for increasing students' representation in academic matters.
"The primary reason students attend this University is to obtain an education, and therefore, it should be an intensely personal experience," he said.
Von Ende noted that in order for this atmosphere to prevail, students must have a direct input in decision-making groups to add fresh ideas.
There is some question on whether the new bill will bring to satisfactory student representation on a University-wide scale. The School of Architecture and Urban

Student Senate Committee Leaves Activity Fee Structure Unchanged
By MIKE MOFFET
Kansan Staff Writer
After weeks of hearings, discussions, referendum proposals and even a call for a student strike on activity fees, the Student Senate Committee has opted for the status no.
In an open meeting Monday night at the Kansas Union, the committee decided to recommend no changes to the Student Senate in the present activity fee structure.
THE CONSENSUS of those on the committee that voted to retain the present system seemed to be that the control of the student activity fee funds is the essence of the Student Power, and any changes in the system would only serve to weaken that power.
The present system operates on a $12 per semester per student fee that is allocated according to recommendation of the Student Representative or the Chair of the Chancellor and the Board of Regents.
A great deal of controversy has surrounded the Athletic Department allocation because the regents froze allocations at a level no less than last year's expenditures. This move by the regents stiffed a Senate Move to move the allocation from approximately $18,000 to $15,000.
Five proposals were rejected in favor of the existing activity fee system. They are:
Another was that much action would be an migration of the responsibility of the Student to the Workplace.
HOWEVER, THE committee voted against recommending a referendum for several
One argument against the referendum proposal was that such referendums don't attract sufficient voters to gain a real consensus of student viewpoints.
John Mize, chairman of the committee, in arguing for an extension of the present accession to his idea, said that we now have a healthy system of care for the man who he was afraid that if organizational funding was done on an optional basis, many of these organizations would fold due to lack
HOWEVER, DAVID MILLER, Student Senate treasurer, pointed out at the meeting that the Regents action was due to commitments already made by the Athletic Department, and he regrets were submitted on time. Miller said, he anticipated no tampering from the regents.
Miller said that he felt students should have more say in how the money is spent, and indulged the idea of a referendum on the issue.
