Storm
The clouds gathered and darkened, the wind freshened and a brief but spectacular thunderstorm swept over Lawrence Wednesday. Ominous clouds shut out enough of the late after-
moon light to warrant drivers to turn on their lights. Lights flickered for a few moments in many campus buildings and fire alarms were set off in others by the sudden loss of power. But the storm subsided nearly as quickly as it gathered, leaving a chill in the air and puddles in the street.
Arab Hijackers Hold 299 Hostages. Prisoner Exchange Deadline Indefinite
By United Press International
Arab guerrillas hijacked another plane to their desert field in Jordan Wednesday, increasing the number of hostages to 299, but extended for an undetermined length of time their 9 p.m. deadline to blow up two planes hijacked there Sunday if seven fellow commandos were not released from European jails.
The International Red Cross announced in Geneva that guerrilla agreement to extend the deadline was given to Red Cross negotiators in Jordan.
"The delegation in Amman has informed the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva that the deadline for the exchange has been extended for an undetermined
length of time," an official Red Cross statement said.
Red Cross intermediaries had asked the guerrillas for an extension of the deadline in an effort to permit negotiations to continue.
In London, a government spokesman said Andre Rochat, the Red Cross official attempting to mediate the release, had not yet been able to meet with the guerrillas due to general conditions of unrest in Amman, Jordan, but had secured agreement to postpone the deadline by telephone.
The guerrillas had threatened to blow up the hijacked TWA and Swissair jetliners if the seven Arab commandos in Europe were not released by 9 p.m. Some world government officials had earlier said the
guerrilla had extended the deadline to 3 a.m. Thursday, but the Red Cross announcement set no specific time for a new deadline.
The Red Cross statement also said a second medical team is being sent to the desert airstrip north of Amman where the airline passengers are being held. The team is comprised of two doctors and three nurses and is scheduled to arrive in Amman Thursday afternoon.
There was no immediate threat against the passengers and crew aboard the BOAC plane.
Red Cross sources said they understood the guerrillas would let all passengers off the planes beforehand if there was a decision to blow them up.
Senators OK Activity Fee Allocations
By MIKE MOFFSET

With five dissenting votes out of 56 cast, the Student Senate okayed a $400,000 plus budget with a stipulation built in to show their disapproval of Board of Regents action concerning funding of the Kansas University Athletic Association (KUAA).
After five hours of deliberation, the Senate decided at 2 a.m. this morning to grant a $47,000 surplus that the Regents had already earmarked for athletic funds to the proposed Student Health Facility. The regents have an option to use this money for either the health facility or athletic funding. This stipulation was added to try to prevent their using other allocations for the $47,000 athletic fund.
Presiding at the meeting, held in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union, were Bill Ebert, Topeka senior and student body president, and R. L Bailey, Atchison senior and cochairman of the Senate Auditing and Financing Committee.
The Black Student Union allocation brought the most debate of the evening. LaVerta Murray, Kansas City junior, presented several amendments to expand the original recommendation of $14,000. With passage of amendments providing for a director of Afro House, a black orientation week, rent for Afro House facilities, and movie deposits, the allocation was raised to $18,950.
Questions were also raised over allocations for small athletic clubs, such as the soccer club, cricket club and rugby club.
With the exception of the
Rifle Club which was deleted from the budget, these organizations were granted the recommended allocations.
The allocations for the KU marching band and the concert series were also hotly contested. The issue on the band centered around admission of women to the organization and the role the athletic department should play in funding. Many senators felt that the money for band travel should be entirely provided by the KUAA, as such trips served mainly as public relations maneuvers benefiting only athletic teams.
Lack of student participation in choosing concerts was the main objection to the concert series.
An allocation for the "Oread Daily" led to an amendment stating that any publication receiving funds from the Senate must include the names of the editors and that any violation will result in the loss of such funds.
The University Daily Kansan was granted a $42,500 allocation with a stipulation that these funds be returned from reserves that the Kansan has accumulated.
After the budget was approved, four resolutions were voted on and approved. The first, which passed by acclamation, directed the Kansas Attorney General to investigate the legality of two resolutions concerning student conduct established by the Board of Regents.
The second called upon the Athletic Association to account for its actions in the Sam Goldberg case and to revise the composition of the Physical

Goldberg Decision Will Affect Judiciary
By DICK HAY

Sept. 25 is the date set for hearing of an appealed case which may determine whether or not the University of Kansas Athletic Department is subject to decisions handed down by the University Judiciary.
The case is a carry-over from last June when a special threeman panel of the KU Judiciary ordered the athletic department to re-instate Sam Goldberg to the track team after he had been dismissed by Coach Bob Timmons.
John Hampton, Lawrence law student and chairman of the Appellate Division of the University Judiciary, announced the date after a closed pre-hearing conference between Goldberg's attorneys and the counsel for the athletic department.
Hampton said the main purpose of the conference was to familiarize two new members of the appellate division as well as the athletic department's attorney with tapes from last spring's hearing.
GOLDBERG, a senior who transferred to KU for the spring semester last year from Merritt Junior College in San Francisco, was one of the top decathlon performers in the nation.
His scholarship was revoked and he was dismissed from the track team by Coach Timmons last May 27. Timmons said he thought that Goldberg's attitude was poor and that his
presence was disruptive to the team.
Goldberg then brought his case before the Judiciary. On June 16 a special three-man panel ordered the athletic department to re-estate Goldberg for the NCAA track meet only.
THE ATHLETIC department refused to comply and Goldberg did not make the trip to Drake University for the meet.
Goldberg's attorneys later filed a contempt of court charge which has been stayed pending the outcome of the appeal of the original case by the athletic department.
Since then, Goldberg has allegedly been supported by Hillel, a campus organization.
Before the conference, Goldberg was overheard to say that
He later said that no money had changed hands but that Hillel did have an interest in his case.
he had to talk to them (Hillel)
about money for fees.
A LETTER explaining why Goldberg was dropped from the team was sent last June by Timmons to Wade Stinson, KU athletic director.
The letter said Goldberg left his room in Templin Hall in a mess, failed to dress in the required coat, tie and dress shoes for trips, was late for practice, threw temper-tantrums when asked to explain missing equipment, missed practice, insulted a teacher by calling her "inadequate," and was bad for team morale.
Goldberg said Wednesday he had decided to try to force the

athletic department to re-instate him, because they had failed to warn him his actions were grounds for dismissal.
