In the Wind
"Around the world in 80 days"—no, Lyle McKee of Cottonwood Falls has no such delusions. He was satisfied to navigate his hot-air balloon a mere 150 feet into the air at the Lawrence airport to qualify for a free balloon pilot's license. But McKee has ascended to a height of 10,000 feet in the balloon, which is propelled by burning propane.
Four Million Egyptians Line Streets for Funeral Procession
CAIRO (UPI)—Millions of weeping, wailing Egyptians bade farewell Thursday to President Gamal Abdel Nasser with an outpouring of hysteria and love as he was borne through the streets of Cairo to his grave.
"To heaven, Gamal," they chanted.
An estimated four million mourners swarmed around the gun carriage bearing Nasser's coffin behind six black Arabian steeds on the six-mile procession.
The crush was so great in the streets that the coffin tilted dangerously and nearly spilled to the ground.
Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin led 20 heads of state, nine prime ministers, four
vice-presidents and dozens of ministers and special envoys who had converged on Cairo for the funeral. The United States, which has no diplomatic relations with Egypt, sent a delegation led by Elliot L. Richardson, secretary of Health, Education and Welfare
The three-hour funeral ended in a buff-colored stone mosque. Nasser's black-shrouded body was removed from the wooden coffin and buried in the garden of the mosque.
The throng in the mosque.
renamed Al Nasser Mosque, surged forward to kiss the coffin and the Egyptian flag draping it. Twice the flag had been torn from the bier by memento-seeking mourners during the frenzied procession that swirled about the ranks of official dignitaries and black-garbed peasants alike.
As the procession passed, police and soldiers dropped their weapons and shouted, "We are all Nasser's. With the army and the people, we will conquer Israel."
U.S.-Yugoslav Agreement Falls Short
BELGRADE (UPI)—President Nixon and Yugoslav President Tito agreed Thursday that "further patient efforts" are needed to defuse the Middle East conflict. But in nearly two hours of talks, they failed to reach full understanding on how peace could be achieved.
Nixon and the 78-year-old Communist ruler discussed their mutual concern over the "very grave and delicate situation" in the Middle East and other world crisis areas on the final day of Nixon's visit to Yugoslavia, the first by an American President.
White House officials said Nixon, in his talks with Tito, asked advice on how to get Middle East peace talks resumed despite the confusion caused by the death of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser. He also stressed, they said, that the American aim was to let the peoples of the Middle East live their own lives, without foreign interference.
Yugoslav officials described the talks, held at the imposing modern Federal Executive Building in New Belgrade, as "mutually beneficial." They said the two men agreed on the need for "further patient work and new efforts to create conditions for the peaceful solution of the crisis" in the Middle East, including a solution to the problem of Palestine refugees.
But they indicated there was
less than full agreement between Tito, who strongly supports the Arab nations, and Nixon, who has given military and political suport to Israel.
Senate Covered In Poll
Student elections Oct. 7 and 8 will include questions about student opinion of the Student Senate.
The opinion poll was prepared by the Kansas University Coordinating Committee, and the results of the poll will be used in various studies, Gene Roberts, Ravenna, Neb. graduate student and member of the Student Senate Elections Committee, says.
Roberts said one of the main purposes of the poll would be to assess the effectiveness of Student Senate communication with the student body. The opinion poll would also be used in determining student body awareness of the Senate's activities, he said.
Four of the questions to ap-

New Format For Kansan
KU, City Leaders Discuss Goals
For the first time in more than 30 years, the Kansas will be published in full format, beginning with Monday's edition.
Headlines and body type in Monday's Kansan will also have a different appearance, because they will be produced on computerized typesetting machines. The new process, we hope, will speed up production and delivery. Our immediate goal is to have the paper appear on campus by noon.
The new 17-by-22-inch Kansan will be from six to 12 pages long and will appear daily except Saturday and Sunday in the Kansan's regular distribution boxes.

Lawrence community leaders and University officials met Thursday afternoon to discuss relations, conflicts and mutual problems and to try to start solving the problems that have plagued Lawrence in recent months.
The meeting, at the Ramada Inn, was attended by about 50 Lawrence leaders, including city administrators, members of the Chamber of Commerce, law enforcement officials and representatives of the public school system. About an equal number of University administrators, staff and faculty members represented the University community.
In their opening remarks, Chancellor Chalmers and Morris Kay, president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, set the stage for the afternoon of discussion, which touched on University-community relations, the black-white conflict, police-community relations between all of these various groups and organizations.
IN HIS BRIEF address, Chalmers stressed the difference between the city and the University "in the hope that these differences can be minimized by facing them openly and honestly."
He said some of the differences were age, formal education, payment of property taxes and source of income, but he emphasized that the goals and purposes of the two were the most significant differences.
"By definition, the two sets of goals are potentially out of phase with one another at times," Chalmers said. In most of our institutional programs, it is important to prepare students for issues, events and problems they will encounter in the future, while the city must be primarily concerned
with solutions to immediate problems."
CHALMERS SAID the major problem was to determine the nature of the differences between city and University and to decide what could be done to reduce the potential for conflict without threatening either's integrity.
"Recognizing that there are necessary essential differences between the two populations is the first step toward understanding these differences and resolving them." he said.
Chalmers also said the University and Lawrence were interdependent, and neither could prosper without the presence and cooperation of the other.
The growth of the University has been the biggest change in the last few years, Chalmers said, and along with that has come the migration of students from dormitories into rental properties of the larger community.
"THIS IS A far cry from the small, self-contained, semiautonomous campus of yester-year," Chalmers said. "It adds new revenue for the city and makes additional demands upon city resources."
He said that if 18-year-olds got the right to vote and the option of registering in Lawrence, University students could have considerable impact on elections for bond issues, taxes and city officials.
Chamber President Kay echoed Chalmers' hope of establishing better communication between the city and University and added he hoped for improvement in the image KU and Lawrence had been given by recent disturbances.
Lawrence was thrown into the national spotlight last spring when fighting broke at Lawrence High School between black and white students and police. At the same time, KU suffered a million-dollar fire in
