Engineering Fund Established
The University of Kansas Endowment Association has announced that it was the recipient of more than $500,000 from the estate of Deane E. Ackers, former chairman of the board of the Kansas Power and Light Company. Irvin E. Youngberg, executive secretary to the Endowment Association, said the money would be used to establish endowed professorships in the School of Engineering. Designates of the professorships will be named for the 1971 academic year and will receive income from the fund in addition to regular state salaries. Ackers, who died April 18, 1966, received the University's Distinguished Service Citation in 1947.
Income Statement Required
Parents of returning students seeking financial aid for the 1971-72 school year will be asked to submit signed confidential income statements, Jerry Rogers, associate director of the student financial aid office, said recently. The statement had formerly only been required for freshman and transferring students.
TNT Found Destined for KU Campus
WICHITA, Kan. (UPI)—An alleged plot to bomb the University of Kansas campus at Lawrence was uncovered with the discovery of 81 sticks of dynamite hidden in a Wichita garage attic, officers said today.
Arrested last Thursday was Danna Bruce Simpson, 22, who said he had no permanent address but that his parents reside at Middleton, Ohio. Officers said he refused to discuss the case. He was held on $5,000 bond pending a preliminary hearing Monday on state charges of illegal use of explosives and creating a hazard.
An affidavit in the case said the dynamite was "to be planted at Kansas University so it could be detonated at any time to blow up the National Guard or anyone in the way."
The affidavit sworn to before Sedgwick County Court of Common Pleas Judge Robert L. Morrison said the defendant allegedly hitched a ride in the city. He reportedly left the car and returned with dynamite at which time he allegedly told others in the car the purpose of the dynamite. The explosives then were left at a northwest Wichita address.
After investigation by Kansas Bureau of Investigation agents and Sheriff Vern Miller, a search warrant was issued and the dynamite seized.
It was not determined immediately whether Simpson has or ever had any connection with KU.
Wichita authorities said they had been unable to link Simpson, thus far, with any "radical or revolutionary groups either in Wichita or Lawrence."
Chalmers...
From Page 1
The new department duties will be two-fold, according to the chancellor. He said the department would report all information in greater detail than was possible for the news media, and also would report University events within the perspective of the entire situation from emergence to the solution.
COMMENTING ON past difficulties at KU and rumors that the University would not be opened this fall, Chalmers said the University was open and operating without major disruption or difficulty.
Chalmers said he gained most of his feeling on the mood at KU from the students themselves. He said he "took his cue" from the students in predicting what the general atmosphere on campus would be this fall. Chalmers had said earlier he believed students were eager for the academic year to begin.
Chalmers said he anticipated the turbulence and disruption surrounding events at KU last spring before he came to Lawrence. He attributed them to change in the educational system. Chalmers said the times called for pioneering in the field of education.

CHALMERS OPENING remarks were followed by a general question and answer period. The chancellor answered questions on a variety of topics ranging from the ROTC program to Abbie Hoffman's appearance on the KU campus last spring.
Chalmers was asked it he was aware of any feelings of "undue unrest" among summer session students before the deaths of two youths in Lawrence during the summer. Chalmers said, "There was a build-up of white-black confrontations, of the abrasive kind in Oliver Hall."
He said the University was partly to blame for the problem because the summer session students were not given the opportunity to select their particular living arrangements in the dormitory. He also said that he did not anticipate the disruptions that occurred in Lawrence during the summer before they happened.
