Lazy Days
It was quiet then, in the sultry summer days before Lawrence hit the headlines across the country. Early July meant stroll along the wooded slopes of
Mount Oread, an afternoon in the museums, or, if you could get away with it, a glide across Potter Lake in a rubber raft. This summer session student had his rod and reel set up to catch the tiny fish that do, believe it or not, dwell in the depths of KU's pond. But he did it, as most people do most things in summer, in the easiest manner he could devise. It freed his hands for paddling or just dipping in the cool waters and freed his mind to ponder almost anything, but most likely the serene bliss of the moment. He may not have caught much of anything, but he had one day at least of peace.
Tricia, Beau Depart for 'Some Place'
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (UPI)
—Tricia Nixon and her beau,
Edward Finch Cox, a New York
socialite, paid a farewell call on
her father Wednesday before flying
to a secret hideaway.
Smiling happily, Tricia, wearing a long blonde fall, was escorted to the Western White House by Cox, 23, a Harvard law student and former member of Nader's Raiders.
Tricia, 24, passed the word Tuesday that she would not be attending the President's state dinner honoring Mexican President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz Thursday in Coronado, Calif.
When she emerged from the President's office, she was asked where she was off to.
"Some place," she replied
coyly.
Cox had several small packages in his hand-apparently gifts from the President. He smiled and waved as he got into a car with Tricia.
In line with Tricia's wishes for privacy, the White House declined to say that she had a houseguest — Cox — during her stay in San Clemente.
Tricia has been spending most of her free vacation time with Cox this summer in New York and on Long Island. He took a summer class in Spanish at the University of Mexico in Mexico City.
Welfare Bill Discussed by Senate Panel
WASHINGTON (UPI)—President Nixon Wednesday summoned members of the Senate Finance Committee to the Western White House to discuss his stalled welfare reform legislation.
It was not clear whether the summons went to all members of the committee or only those who were previously invited to attend a state dinner for President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz Thursday night.
The invitation to the San Clemente compound represented Nixon's latest efforts to get committee approval of the family assistance bill so that Congress can act before the end of the session.
