Kimball to Read Poetry
George Kimball, Democratic candidate for Douglas County sheriff, will read poetry selections from his own works at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at the Tansy Bookstore, 1144 Indiana. John Moritz, part owner of Tansy, said Kimball would读 poems that had recently appeared in Tansy, The Word, Angel Hair and Scanlan's magazines. Kimball has published two novels, "Origin of the Pisces," and "Only Skin Deep." He is working on a third novel. His first book was mimeographed, and the second was published by Ophilia Press.
Commenting on Kimball's writing, Moritz said, "George is beyond style in that he has written in the Black Mountain style and the New York style and he has conquered them on his own."
Lava Project Gets Grant
The National Science Foundation has awarded the University of Kansas a $3,000 research grant for studies on the chemical composition of volcanic rock. The grant will be added to a previous grant and matched by KU funds to purchase a vacuum X-ray spectrometer, according to Marion E. Bickford, associate professor of geology and director of the lava rock projects. Bickford hopes that the spectrometer will make analysis of volcanic rock more accurate and more convenient than the methods he is now using.

Although he mentioned no other specific incident, Docking said that KU was not the only Kansas institution where acts of violence had occurred.
"We're trying hard not to pinpoint any institution. . . .
We have six universities and colleges," he said. "The problems aren't the same on all the campuses."
Docking did refer to the hecklers at Kansas State University during President Nixon's speech there last week.
"I agree with President Nixon 100 per cent—This is what I've been talking about for several years . . . These incidents should be handled on the campuses themselves."
Arab Student Gives Palestinian Viewpoint on Crisis in Mideast
The broadening conflict in the Mid east and the "Tragedy of Palestine" was the topic of a speech by an Arab student, Salim Rahim, at the Student Mobilization Committee meeting Wednesday night.
Rahim said that the people the United States calls "criminals" and "terrorists" in Jordan are just frustrated people who have been uprooted from their homeland.
"We (Palestinians) have waited for 23 years and we still have no home," he said. "Now we can wait no longer. Violence is the only language that the nations who create this oppression can understand."
He said the goal of the Palestinians was restoration of secular democracy in Palestine (Jordan) so that all people, reguardless of race or language, were accepted.
Rahim said that US intervention in Jordan would lead to another Vietnam. He said the United States had alerted the 6th fleet, an airborne division in North Carolina, 18 jet bombers and marines in Turkey to stand by for evacuation of Americans in Jordan. This is ridiculous, according to Rahim, because the
400 Americans living in Jordan are under the regime of King Hussein and are free to leave any time. The 54 hostages from a recent highjacking are the only people who are not free to leave.
"I hope that the United States can someday understand that the masses of people who risk their lives to protect their own homeland cannot be defeated," he said. "One lesson, Vietnam, is enough. I hope they do not need another lesson, a Palestinian lesson."
After Rahim finished his speech, another student told the crowd of 75 that anyone who was interested in learning more about the Palestinian point of view should come to the Arab student meeting at 3 p.m. Sunday in the Kansas Union.
"I do not want to hear any students crying out that they do not understand the situation after it is too late," he said. "You must understand now. Remember 20 years ago people did not

understand about Vietnam."
A special meeting to discuss the Mid east crisis and plan tactics has bben called by the KU Coordinating Committee, the Lawrence Liberation Front, the Student Mobilization Committee and Bill Ebert, student body president. It is scheduled for 7:30 tonight in the Big Eight room of the Kansas Union.

dents confirmed the Jordanian victory and said Jordan's tiny air force of 38 jet fighters broke the back of the Syrian armored thrust and sent them reeling back across the border.
SYRIAN TANKS moved into northern Jordan over the weekend to 'support the guerrillas. Jordan rushed ground forces to the Irbid and Rathma areas to block the invaders.
"The invaders (at 7:15 a.m. CDT) withdrew across the Syrian-Jordanian border into Shrian territory in the direction of Deraa," Majali's statement said.
Shortly after Majali's statement, King Hussein and Premier Gaafar el-Numeiry announced over Amman radio that an agreement had been reached to end the civil war, in which Arab reports said at least 15,000 persons had been killed and thousands more wounded or threatened by starvation and disease.

From page 1
"With each succeeding intervention, more people die, more nations are pressed under the thumb of the United States, and the closer each of us comes to being squelched of our last human energies and concerns. The gravity of the situation in the Middle East is not surprising in the context of the historical U.S. responses toward internal conflicts, for Jordan is just another distant spot for the American fixation on warfare to exercise itself.
"We cannot tolerate the exportation of death to serve economic or political expedition. The students of this University, and people around the world, must recognize what is happening and act. We share the guilt if we continue to complacently tolerate this litany of human suffering, and if we—without a word or a sacrifice or an action—allow the United States to invade Jordan.
