Women's Coalition Has Closed-Door Meeting
. Liberation group discusses the issues of their campaign
Close Communication Aim of Lib Meeting
Emphasizing communication on a more personal level, the 100 women at the Women's Coalition meeting Tuesday night broke into small groups to discuss topics ranging from abortion to a women's draft.
There are no leaders in the Coalition, according to Maureen Hollis, St. Louis, Mo., sophomore, unofficial spokeswoman of the meeting. The purpose of the group, she said, is to bring together all women who are interested in women's liberation so they can discuss their feelings on a personal level. This includes community members as well as students, Miss Hollis said.
Discussion at the meeting centered around the birth control problem on campus. Most of the women felt that Watkins Hospital should set up a birth control clinic. Many of the women reported rumors to the effect that three doctors at Watkins would give out birth control pills. None could confirm the information. Until some kind of clinic can be
set up one member urged women to call Planned Parenthood for birth control and abortion information.
Topics of discussion varied greatly in the small groups. One group that labeled itself a "conscience raising group" started by discussing makeup and fashion. Most of the group agreed that a woman should wear what is comfortable to her. One member commented that what a woman is comfortable wearing is conditioned by the male oriented society she lives in.
Drafting women into the armed forces was then discussed. Most felt that women should be drafted on the principle of equality but that they did not believe in the draft even for men. One woman who spent the summer in Israel, where women are drafted into the army, said that it put women on a more equal level with men.
Currently there are about 25 groups within the coalition. If a
member gets tired of the group she is in or cannot meet at the designated time she may switch to another one. Each new group that is formed will have an experienced member sit in on the first two meetings.
Due to technical difficulties the slides on women in America today were not shown. They will be shown at the next meeting, 7:30 Tuesday, October 13, in the Kansas Union Big Eight room.
Senate Debates Policy Edict From Regents
Student Senate is challenging "the constitutionality, legal validity and limits" of recent policy statements issued by the Kansas Board of Regents at the Senate's meeting. Bill Ebert, student body president, said Wednesday.
The June 19, 1970 resolution pertaining to academic freedom and campus disruptions, and Section 8 of the July 10, 1970 resolution prohibiting the use of profane language by those "having formal association with state educational institutions upon any of the institutional properties," are being challenged.
A counter resolution originated by Frank Zilm, St. Louis fifth year student, requests the opinion of the Kansas Attorney General on the Regents' resolution.
Another resolution originated by Zilm, George Laughhead, Dodge City senior, and Brad Smoot, Sterling junior, calls for the Physical Education Corporation to "report to the Senate by Oct. 1, 1970 as to why they feel that the Athletic Association should be entitled to obtain student activities fees while refusing to cooperate with the regulations established in the Student Code of Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities."
Smoot said this clause is a
"direct attack" on Sam Goldberg's removal from the KU track team last spring on rowdiness charges.
The resolution also calls for a revision of the composition of the Physical Education Operating Board "to assure at least 50 per cent student voting representation, appointed by the Student Senate Executive Committee," as the Athletic Association collects one-half of student activities fees each semester.
Board funds for the 1971-72 fiscal year will be cancelled according to the resolution, until they "account for the use of the activities fee allocation to the Athletic Association for the past five years . . ." and explain ". . . requested expenditures for this fiscal year."
"In the past, the Athletic Association has not been required to account for expenditures, since it is a private organization," said Smoot. "As a result the Student Finance Committee had no idea whether increased demands for funds were legitimate."
Ebert said he expected the Finance and Auditing Committee to present revisions of the student activities fee for Senate consideration at the meeting. He added that he "was certain events that occurred in Lawrence this summer would also be discussed."

Census Tally Shifts Congressional Seats In Sixteen States
By FRANK ELEAZER
By FRANK ELEAZER WASHINGTON (UPI) Barring a new effort next year to enlarge the House of Representatives, 10 states will lose members in the 93rd Congress, preliminary census figures indicated Wednesday.
Six states will gain House representation, in any event, with California and Florida the notable winners. Losses will be scattered from New York to Alabama.
Twelve house seats will be shifted across state lines in one way or another if the state-bystate head count announced Tuesday by the Census Bureau holds up in a final audit due Dec. 1.
The preliminary tallies, reflecting heavy population shifts to both coasts, entitled California to a record 43 House seats—up five from its present allotment of 38; and Florida to

"We're at the tail end of a continual downhill slide," he said. "In 1968, we had 93 enrolled in Air Force ROTC. Last year, we had 73, and this year, 43, including 3 girls. So the decline has been better than $50\%$ in two years.
"But our program continues to exist depending on the number of second lieutenants we can put out. At this point in time, I do not think that the drop could be a viable factor in our operations for the next two years.
"Of course," he went on, "we're riding the crest of past prosperity in the last few years' high enrollments. But I think it's too early to see if this is a real trend here at KU."
McKenzie added that he felt the drop was caused by a number of factors, both national and local.
"First, there's the general anti-war feeling among today's youth" he said. "We've been
ROTC courses in the college after 1971.
Col. Philip Riedel of Army ROTC said he thought the new lottery system was the greatest factor in the enrollment drop. Army ROTC fell from 50 stu-See ROTC, page 20
Among the local factors he cited were the campus unrest of the spring and summer, and the dropping of credit for

Israel Considers Action Against Arab Violations
By United Press International
Diplomatic sources in Jerusalem said Wednesday that Israel was considering taking action on its own unless President Nixon acted on Israeli charges of repeated Egyptian violations of the U.S.-sponsored cease fire. Israeli officials said it regarded the alleged violations as "very, very serious."
Relations worsened meanwhile between Jordan and Iraq following the attempted assassination of King Hussein and renewed fighting between the Jordanian army and Palestinian Arab guerrillas in Amman Tuesday.
The Jordanian government Wednesday rejected an Iraqi ultimatum threatening intervention by Iraq's 12,000 troops in Jordan on the side of the guerrillas unless Jordan's security forces end their "exceptional measures" against the Palestinians. Iraq has backed the guerrillas in opposition to any peace talks between the Arab states and Israel.
Jerusalem sources said Defense Minister Moshe Dayan felt the United States had failed to meet an obligation as guarantor of the 90-day cease fire and that Israel must be free to
