Bequest Increases Scholarship Fund
The University of Kansas Endowment Association announced Tuesday that it had received a $5,000 bequest from the estate of the late Charles U. Heuser. The bequest will nearly double the Charles U. Heuser Scholarship Fund in Civil Engineering which Heuser established in 1967. The 1970-71 recipient of the Heuser Scholarship was Gregg D. Larson, a fourth year engineering student from Tulsa, Okla.
College Faculty Meets
The faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences met Tuesday afternoon and discussed a motion to strike the sections pertaining to the College Council from the bylaws and eliminate the council. The motion was introduced by John P. Davidson, professor of physics. A vote on the proposed motion was delayed until the next meeting of the college faculty.

Deaton is the graduate student member of the Lawrence chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). Deaton says the AIs and TAs are requesting: remission of fees (graduate students now pay staff fees which are the same as all in-state fees), a salary increase each year at the same percentage as full faculty salary increases, and significant improvements in base salaries for AIs and TAs who are not teaching full time.
A special committee of the AAUP's executive committee is studying the graduate students requests. Bob Asch, a co-chairman on the special committee, said the committee would make recommendations to the Lawrence chapter of the AAUP in the fall of 1970.
Asch is an instructor in German at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He is working on his thesis at KU to finish a doctorate degree in German. Asch says the remission of fees for AIs and TAs is the most important point of graduate students demands.
"Stipends aren't very high, but out of it comes tuition and income tax," he said.
The graduate students stipend is not a new issue. The base salary in 1968-1970 was $2,300-$2,400, in 1969-1970 it was $2,500 and for 1970-1971 it is $2,700.
Asch said these were theoretical figures because in the past chairmen of departments juggled graduate student funds to offer prospective professors a higher salary.
THE EFFORT IS SYMBOLIC, yet it is a symbol to be repeated by everyone. This is what you call literally stamping out litter. Get it! Well, you're going to get it if you don't start being the reverse of a litterbug. Remember what your grandmother used to say. Litter is bitter or the beer can has pretty teeth, dear. Next time you're in your friendly neighborhood, pick up a piece of paper for the Gipper!

talks arranged by the United States.
DURING a day at sea with the U.S. 6th Fleet, Nixon named Elliot L. Richardson, secretary of Health, Education and Welfare and formerly No. 2 man in the State Department, to lead a five-man delegation of "distinguished Americans" to Nasser's funeral in
Cairo on Thursday.
The President ruled out a personal appearance in Cairo because the United States and Egypt have not maintained diplomatic relations since the Arab-Israeli War of 1967.
Nixon toned down a display of American air and sea power in the Mediterranean out of respect for the fallen Egyptian leader.
