Relaxing

sleepy KU coed. The crisp fall days now upon us make this type of respite from the hectic days on the hill almost impossible. Now the spring and summer step-siters and lawn-relaxers must move inside to warmer surroundings.
Heller Says Enrollment Shortage Causes Drop in University Budget
A University of Kansas enrollment of about 450 students less than the projected total would not appear to be a major problem, but it has caused a possible budget deficit of approximately a quarter of a million dollars, according to a report by Heller, vice-cancelor for Academic Affairs.
The situation has caused the Council of Deans to request each school within the university to conduct a survey.
The problem arose when the total enrollment for KU fell 449 students below the original projected total, according to Keith Nitcher, vice-chancellor for business affairs.
The lower award has caused KU to kill almost $200,000 short of its $9,067,000 budget. Other expenses which the University is in the total lack of funds up to almost $250,000.
"WE DO HAVE another semester," Nilher said. "If more students enroll it won't be so bad; if fewer enroll, then we'll be in really good shape." What will happen with the present quarter?
"Each year we prepare for the Board of Regents an estimate of the amount of money we will need from the Legislature," Heller said. "We have to project the number of cases we have in the fall semester during late April or early May of the preceding year."
The request for funds from KU is incorporated into a budget request for all state
schools to the Legislature from the Board of Regents.
"THE LEGISLATURE appropriates so much out of general revenue and so much out of fees," Heller said. "If we collect more than our appropriation, we can't spend it, because we aren't authorized to. It goes back to Topeka.
"If we fail to collect our appropriated amount in fees, we can't spend it."
On Oct. 19 the Council of Deans resolved that each school should help alleviate the burden on students.
Each school was assigned a percentage of the total to cut from its allocated budget, according to George Waggoner, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
EACH SCHOOL is meeting the problem of cutting expenses in different ways
DALEP. SCANNELL, dean of the School of Education, said two positions which were open would not be filled in the School of Education.
One of the positions is for a distinguished professor and the other is for a combination position.
"We're partially compensating with less expensive people," he said.
The School of Education also is spending less for supplies and equipment. Scannell省
Arthur Katz, dean of the School of Social Welfare, said a position for an additional
faculty member would not be filled
"We're spreading the load out over the other faculty members," he said.
WAGGONER SAID the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences had a much larger budget than many other colleges.
The college has 32 departments, 12 programs, and according to a secretary in the registrar's office, an enrollment of 8,412 as of Sept. 22.
Waggoner said all department supply and maintenance funds had been reduced by 20 percent.
"The departments have not been allowed to fill any vacancies, including those under CYB. Service, unless it is absolutely necessary to keep them open," he said. "We're sufferable acutely."
Heller attributed the lower actual enrollment figure to economy problems, easing of the draft, growth of community interests and publicity of the trouble in Lawrence.
Passage of College Bylaws Would Add Representation
By CAROLYN ROTHERY

Assistant instructors and students will receive more voting power in the College Faculty if the faculty's bylaws are amended as proposed at a special meeting Tuesday.
The College Faculty will have 20 per cent participation by undergraduate representat
The amended bylaws must be adopted by a mail vote of the entire faculty of the university.
Assistant instructors would receive a number of votes in committees equal to the budget for the assistant instructors on the budget of the College. The department changed this representation from that of not exceeding 10 per cent of the total regular number when combined with teaching assistants.

SenEx Plan Guarantees 20% Voice
A straw vote taken of the faculty members attending the meeting by George R. Waggoner, dean of the College of Liberal Arts showed the majority of members agreed to the general principle of student representation on the faculty and the elected committees.
A section of the bylaws was deleted, leaving graduate student instructors and undergraduate members of the elected Promotions and Tenure Committee the sole executive director and discussing individual cases. They also have a voice in the final vote on these cases.
After reviewing each of the original 14 sections of the bylaws, the faculty voted to mail the entire set of bylaws to faculty members of the College for approval.
If the new bylaws are accepted, the College Faculty will consist of members of the faculty in the College with rank of instructor and above, and elected assistant instructors, and representatives. On matters having to do with general requirements which affect all freshmen and sophomores, full time members of the faculties of those professional schools or universities. University which admit students at the junior level will be considered voting members.
Elizabeth Banks, secretary of the faculty,
said that a copy of the amended bylaws and
a ballot would be in the mail to each faculty
member by early next week. The final vote
should be ready in two or three weeks, she
said.
The faculty decided that if the bylaws are accepted, special student elections would be held as soon as possible. Before the beginning of a semester, to fill the seats open on the faculty.
Waggoner said at the end of the special meeting that he did not think the lawyers would be able to do this.
The Administration and Organization Committee of the University Senate passed a temporary amendment to the University Senate Rules and Regulations for Article 3.4.2, regarding student representation.
The committee was directed by the Senate Executive Committee to study proposals to replace that article which was stricter from the rules last Thursday.
THOMAS GORTON, dean of the School of Fine Arts, presented the motion to strike the passage which guaranteed student representation on all University policy-making committees. He cited procedural reasons for the striking of the passage.
The committee considered six proposals submitted by faculty members and the final

Agnew Asks Return Of Power to People
BY DAVID BARTEL
Kansan Staff Writer
WICHTHA-Vice President Sprog Agrow called for a return of "power to the people" Thursday night while stumping for Kansas GOP candidates here.
"Power to the people' has come to symbolize tearing down a representative government, and substituting mob rule for the most efficient form in all the history of mankind," Agnew said.
"The phrase 'power to the people' has an ancient tradition, and an honorable. " I say *we* should have a power to the people.*
THE YICE PRESIDENT said that those radicals who used the phrase "power to the people" did not mean it as he did. The radicals are thinking of ways to place power on them of an elite to smash the system so that they can rule over the shattered remains, he said.
This must not be allowed to happen, he said,
"My friends, our nation has been threatened many times before—from within and from without — and we have survived," he added. He emerged from each of these confrontations stronger than before. And we will do it again."
Agnes was speaking at a $40-aplate fund-raising dinner attended by about 1,200 supporters of Kent Frizellz. Republican candidate Carly Fiorina state and former GOP candidates.
FRUZELZI IS CHALLENGE. Gov. Roberts seeks, who is seeking an appointed commissioner.
Agnew charged Docking with opposing popular control because Docking opposed President Nixon's plan to have the federal government, some of its revenue with state governments.
Docking also has proven himself ineffectual in working with a legislature of the opposite political party, and is ignoring history and culture. It is a third term, the Vice President, and is
AGNEW TERMED Frizell a man proven by state primary elections to have had strong statewide support and one with a firm and outspoken stand for law, both in the street and in the office. Frizell would return fiscal responsibility to the state and to the governor's personal budget.
The Vice President gave strong endorsement to the five Republican candidates—all of them incumbents—in the congressional races. He also lauded Sen Bob Dole, his master of verbal karate," even though Dolle was not up for re-election this year.
"Sen, Dole enjoys nothing more than to flush out and scatter the Senate macropiggy, the pigeons or cuckoo doves, whose flutting tugs are lead by Sen, Fulbright." Apew said.
Expanding his theme of "power to the people," Apnew said that the unprecedented events in the United States last decade had overwhelmed and oliterated much of the power historically exercised by the population.

George Kimball Arrested At Wichita Demonstration
By BOB VELSIR Kansan Staff Writer
WICHTA~George Kimball, Democrat candidate for Douglas County sheriff, was arrested at 7 p.m. Thursday by Vern Miller, Sedgwick County sheriff and candidate for state attorney general on a charge of "using violent and profane language."
The arrest took place outside the Century II complex in Wichita, where 300 to 400 people were gathered for a demonstration against President Sajima Agnew and the Vietnam war.
"Kimball's bond set at $250
Kimball was arrested because "he was using violent and profane language." Miller said, "Kimball then tried to place some campaign cards around my neck."
Robert E. Tyson, a 26-year-old student at Friends University, was arrested with Kumhali, but the nature of the charges were not released.
AFTER THE ARREST, Ron Wiley former editor of the Wichita Free Press, addressed the crowd as 45 to 55 unformed security officers, including Wichita police and
Sedgwick County sheriffs deputies, surrounded the crowd.
When Wiley finished speaking, Floyd Hannon, lieutenant colonel of the Wichita police, urged demonstrators to go home because he was speaking a cherry bomb exploded.
As the crowd started to stir, Miltac accounted three members of the crowd and told them to move. The crowd ran.
"The three were confronted and asked to leave." Miller said. "They will be charged with trespassing."
"With the firecracker and the noise, it was not a peaceful assembly," he said.
Asked by reporters if he felt they might have over-reacted curing the incident, Miller replied, "When enforcing the law, you cannot over-react."
The crowd was again ordered to disperse by Hannon. When they failed to do so, nine more were taken.

President Faces Noisy Protesters After California Campaign Speech
SAN JOSE, Calif. (UPI)—Demonstrators hurled eggs and obscenities at President Nixon Thursday night in the largest and most violent attack he had faced since he became President.
The anti-war protesters, estimated at 900 by the Secret Service, confronted the President's sedum both as he entered and left an embassy and addressed 6,000 enthusiastic supporters.
The eggs were tossed when the President left the auditorium. Nixon stood on the bood of his car, faced the demonstrators and raise* his arms in a "V" sign.
At least one egg hit the limousine out once struck Urick
Several hundred police kept the crowd contained.
Nixon was asked about the demonstrators and replied: "If there's any division they

Govern. Ron Reagan and Sen. George Murphy, R-Calfi, departed with the president in Niukov car for the San Jose White House and the summer White House at San Clemente.
Nixon ended a cross-country campaign jaunt Thursday by predicting the nation's economic troubles "are coming to an end" and said he was winding down the war in Vietnam.
"They're fighting in Vietnam so that those young men who are outside about their obese slaggers won't have to fight in Viet-Nam," Nick said at a point in his speech.
The demonstrators, chanting and holding up sign reading "Nixon fascist" and "Nixon let us out now," confronted the President's seden as it turned into the parking lot at the auditorium. A group of about 100 shouted "Come in; three, four, we don't want your 'firing war'."
Knex spoke on "Student Activism in the Public Schools."
Knox said that a common concern of educators at all levels was "the big, silent majority" that was characterized by apathy, indifference and complacency.
"Never has the threat to the survival of this public institution (the public schools) been as great as it is today." Knox said. He said that question was real, not merely academic.
Another system that was suggested would be a performance contract, Knox said. In it, the student would work in a private industry and the industry would pay to have students educated in a pre-graduate curriculum.
Knox discussed three main questions during his speech: "Can public education in America survive?" "What is student acclimation?" and "How can schools be made locally to relate to these questions?"
SOME ALTERNATIVES to the public school system have been advanced. Among proposed alternatives would be a voucher program to educate children as given money to education their children they saw fit. He quoted a recent poll showing that donations were evenly divided on that system.
Money problems are common to school districts, he said. In 1969, 117 local school tax issues in Ohio were rejected and several schools were closed as a result. Voters in the Hickman Mills school district in Missouri defeated seven bond issues before passing one
earlier this fall, finally allowing the district's schools to open.
SCHOOLS ARE COUGHED by charges of permissiveness and rigidity. Knox said On Tuesday that he would be permissive with students, while others condemn the schools for being too rigid in their approach to teaching.
More and more individuals, Knox said, want to make the public schools responsible for providing a safe environment. This was analogous to saying that a doctor had to cure every patient that came to him or that was ill.
SUPPORT OF public education is not a popular political issue, Knox said. In the current election, no candidate, either local or governmental, is supported in public education, he said.
