Senate Rep Announces Poll Result
By ALAN SIMONS Kansan Staff Writer
The majority of the students who voted in the Student Senate elections Oct. 7 and 8 attended past actions of the Board of Regents and supported past actions of the chancellor.
The results of two three ballots in the opinion poll were announced Friday by John Friedman, Overland Park senior and chairman of the Student Senate elections committee.
The third ballot of the poll was a list of items which the voters were asked to rank in the order of their importance in the opinion of the student. This last ballot, Friedman said, has to be counted by hand and take a couple of weeks to tabulate.
The all-University opinion poll was prepared by the KU Coordinating Committee and Gene Roberts, Ravenna, Neb., graduate student in social psychology.

Friedman said results from the opinions on the 451 students who voted, less than ten percent of the students who voted as a random sample of University opinion or a random sample of the opinions of those students who voted.

Cross to Follow Fate of LaPorte, Terrorists Warn Canadian Cabinet
MONTREAL (UPI)—Terrorists produced evidence Sunday that British diplomat James R. Cross was still alive but warned that he would be executed as was Quebec cabinet minister Pierre LaPorte unless their demands were met.
A shaken Prime Minister Elliott Trudeau met with his federal government cabinet in Ottawa for more than two hours but announced no change in the government's hardline approach in the aftermath of LaPorte's assassination Saturday night.
Then, under extraordinary guard, Trudeau flew by helicopter to Montreal to confer with mayor Jean Drapeau and Quebec Premier Chuck Noll on the government's next move in the crisis.
In two handwritten notes left in a telephone booth—one addressed to the authorities and one to his wife—Cross warned that his captors meant business.
The government reiterated its offer of a one-way plane ride to Havana for Cross-captors in exchange for their turning the Briton over to Cuban officials on a bridge over the Atlantic Ocean. He would be released, the government said, when the kidnappers arrived in Cuba.
He said it would be "very dangerous" for him if the authorities found the hideaway where he was held prisoner and he urged police to call off the search.
The notes represented the first direct word, from the prisoner in a week.
Cross, 49, was taken from his bed in a Montreal suburb秋 3. by five terrorists the Quebec Liberations Front (FLQ) who kidnapped seven prisoners and $300,000 in gold for big release.
Bourassa, in a statement in French over radio and television, said:
Canada's brilliant red maple leaf flag and Quebec's blue and white fleur-de-lis flew at half staff across the country. Solenn music was played over the radio.
"Pierre LaPorte is a victim of hate, a criminal fate not known before in Canada or Quebec. the government will face this with firmness and will not let itself be destroyed."
Most in the crowd supported the hardline approach Trudeau has adopted in the long crisis. Trudeau's denunciation of LaPorte's "cold blood" murder as a "cruel and senseless act" indicated he was in no mood to yield now to the kidnapper's demands.
While the cabinet met, 1,000 Canadians, stunned by the first political assassination in years, gathered in a chill wind outside the window of Trudeau's office on Parliament Hill. The carried a banner which read: "A nation so strong, sang the national anthem—"O Canada."
LaPorte has been a champion of the demand of French-heritage Quebecers for the Quebec Liberation Front, unlike the Quebec Liberation Front, he wanted to accomplish Quebec's goals through nationalism.
But about 25 members of the Young Socialist League protested Trudeau's declaration which gave the government a new mandate. But they banners read "They their banners read 'Oppose Your Local
Dictatorship" and "Free the 286 Victims of Oppression," referring to the 286 suspected FLQ sympathizers seized in police raids since Friday.
LarPorte, 49, minister of labor in the provincial government in Quebec City, was killed his assassins said—at 5:18 p.m. Saturday, one week and three minutes after he was seized while in front of his home in a Montreal suburb.
His body was found less than six hours later stuffed in the trunk of the car in which he had been taken away. Most reports said his hands were tied behind him and he had been shot.
Mitchell Sharp, federal external affairs minister, said no cabinet member would discuss the crisis in public until after LaPorte's funeral Tuesday afternoon.
The offer was for freedom for his captains in exchange for their prisoner. Arrangements were made for the Cuban counsel to take Custody of the British trade official until after a Canadian Air Force plane had delivered the FLQ terrorists who seized him to Havana.
But late Sunday afternoon the government's operation center in Ottawa said "our efforts are on full swing."
That bargain was offered shortly before midnight Saturday—at the same moment that police were pulling LaPorte's body from the car trunk.

Lawrence River.

The political uproar which was touched off by Trudeau's suspension of civil law diminished in the shock over LaPorte's death.
With shaking voice, former opposeuse leader John Dieffenbaker later wrote that he was "the successor as Conservative Party leader, Robert Bentley, referring to the terrorists, told reporters."
"We must make certain that they don't succeed in their purpose of dividing and weakening Canada. We must make certain of that above everything else."
The coed, Kathryn C. Mays, a Plainfield special student, was found with a 22-count bullet near her body. Detective Shea said she had a bullet wound in her abdomen.
A KU coed was found dead on a country road near *Topena* Sunday by the Shawnee County Sheriff's Office and the cause of death may have been suicide.
Coed Found Dead; Suicide Possibility
Hendrix said the time of death was between 11:30 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. Sunday. He said official cause of death would not be ruled until sometime Monday.
Regents Hear Recommendations
Chalmers Presents Security Proposals
By ROBERT LITRASE
Kansan Staff Writer
Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. presented the Kansas Board of Regents with a seven point security proposal on behalf of the board meeting. The board meeting board meeting Friday morning in the
The proposal was one of two recurrent
Presidents by the Council of
Presidents to the request.
Included in the security recommendation was the authority for each state school to upgrade classifications of its security personnel. According to Chalmers, this means employing present part-time security personnel on a full-time basis.
Other points of the recommendation provided for security directors at the six state authorities and security attorneys at each of the campuses where services on those campuses where need is felt.
The Council of Presidents also recommended that caution be used in the selection and use of students as emergency security personnel, and it urged that schools apply to the Committee on Criminal Administration for necessary equipment and training programs.
Regent Henry Bubb of Topeka asked Chalmers if hiring present part-time security personnel on a full-time basis would provide enough security.
Chalmers said, "In one sense, there is no such thing as 'enough security', but this certainly be a major help in terms of the building. We've encountered on several campuses."
Max Bickford, executive officer of the board, said that in most cases, the board, universities and colleges had "almost imminent contact to the highway patrol" when it is needed.
"In most cases they can mobilize a substantial force anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours."
Chalners said that "in excess of 100" volunteered their efforts in guarding campgrounds.

The other proposal submitted by the Council of Presidents concerned construction of a bridge.
Bubb announced he thought that the requests should take no action at that point about the WSF.
He said the regents should "just continue to gather the information we have been given and keep it up."
Regent W. F. Dnanehanger of Concordia commended Dr. Clark Ahlberg, president of Wichita State University for his remarks at the memorial service honorring WSU football team members and staff killed in a plane crash October 2.
The regens made several routine xpenditure approvals for all of the colleges and universities, and the University of Kansas received permission to form a corporation that will receive beneficiary interest from the community use of the present Lawrence City Hall.
"In the meantime, the staff has been gathering information from all schools as to how to respond," she said.
Chalmers said that the proposal included projected, annual tuition increases at each of the buildings would provide capital for construction of the new facilities. The construction funds would be used to build facilities as needed at the university. The proposal was referred to the executive office of the university.

Charges Against Gill Dropped by Judiciary
The University Judiciary Friday dismissed charges against George Gill brought by Michael Seid, who alleged that Gill had been a terrorist. He is an Anthropology I class on May 8, 1970.
The hearing panel ruled that "since Mr. Gill acted in his capacity as a Teaching Assistant at the time of the alleged infraction, the defendant's Mr. Seidl does not apply to the defendant."
Gill was charged under Article 23-A-1 of the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct, that states that "A student who, in the absence or when ordered or supervised functions, places another in threat of serious bodily harm, or commits a battles upon any person, may be subject to a fine."
Although Gill was a student at the time of the incident the hearing panel ruled, in a four to one verdict, that he did not present because he was a student," and therefore could not be charged under this law.
The minority opinion report, however, held that Gill should "be responsible for his actions under the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct as a student."
The dissenting members of the panel said that because the Code guarantees certain rights, students have the University community who neglects these rights violated the Student Code and is not respectful to them.
The article under which Gill was charged "implies in its spirit the right of student, fairness and respect for all students' behavior—not only from students but others" (2015) as community as well.² According to the national survey,
Seidi was found not guilty of a counter charge accusing him of causing a substantial disruption or obstruction to the educational process.
The incident occurred on the "day of alternatives" last spring in William Bass's methodology class. According to testimony from a group that entered Hoch Auditorium to ask Bass for permission to use his class as a facilitator, the discuss the U.S., incursion into Cambodia.
The report states that Seidl's group "entered the auditorium . . . and waited quietly for the group to ask permission to address the class on the issues of the day.
Consequently, the panel ruled that although Gill was disturbed, that according to Bass and three other teaching assistants all class members continued class activities without recognizing or approaching the group, the "normal and probable consequence of the
