Laird Asks Deployment For Fleets
BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP)-U.S. Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird called Wednesday for a major re deployment of allied troops to counter a Soviet buildup in the Atlantic and Mediterranean.
Laird submitted a three-point proposal to the defense planning committee of the National Guard.
His plan envisions formation of a permanent international fleet in the Mediterranean and an expanded NATO naval presence in the Atlantic.
It also incorporates an offer to provide European countries with American weapons systems, electronic warfare help and equipment so they can gear be withdrawn from Indochina.
Details of Laird's proposal as relayed by U.S. officials;
NATO's standing naval force in the Athletic, set up in 1966, should be augmented by nations such as West Germany with fleets that currently are not participants. The allied naval force in the Atlantic now includes American, British, Canadian, Dutch, Norwegian and Portuguese vessels.
-NATO's on-call naval force in the Mediterranean should be replaced by a standing naval force with nations such as Greece and Turkey taking full part far beyond their normal area of operations. The United States could be inside the United States, Britain and Italy. But any armed navy with ships to sparse should seriously consider joining.
The defense planning committee is composed of all NATO members minus France which stays out of the allied military system.
- NATO nations have the chance to make up an American offer of help based on U.S. experience in Vietnam. This would take the form of electronic warfare gear, explosive systems, other complete weapons systems and techniques of tactical air control.
Who Cares About the Game?
Laird said he was pleased with what he regarded as a new spirit permeating the earth.

Mood Attributed to Shift in Tactics
By ANN CONNER Kansan Staff Writer
Editor's Note: This is the second of a three part series on the changing complexion of the University of Kansas campus.
In a recent interview, Phil Gary, director of the Office of Urban Affairs, said the goals of protest were the same: to show that democracy matters were different, more quiet and subdued.
In the first part of the series, students and administrators suggested that the campus was quieter because many of the protesters were frustrated and exhausted, their appearance had been commercialized, they had been absorbed into the system, and they were increasingly interested in developing individual life styles.
Gary thinks the administration has learned to anticipate opportunities for conflict and to remove them before trouble began. That was the probability of friction between black students and white administrators, some black administrators, of which he said he was an example, had been added to the one system to eliminate points of friction.
He said he was not happy with how the University had resolved the Gary Jackson issue and he was dissatisfied with the results of the BSU strike last year.
"I DON'T THINK that same tactic will get the results I want," Gary said, as she continued.
For example, Gary said, when it became obvious that no "good, up-standing white student" could participate in the same activities as Gary Jackson, then the majority of the white portion of the campus felt no moral disgrace in this bake which did not affect their group due to it.
One reason, which he had learned from last year's experience, for why people did not participate in overt actions of protest was that they often felt no moral duty to respond to something which did not affect their own lives or their own peer group.
One reason for less mass action, he said, was that much of the feeling which sparked the earlier protests was superficial and therefore short-lived.
"The so-called liberals have a very superficial commitment to causes," Gary Snyder said. "We understand of social change because social change will disenfranchise them from the luxuries they are accustomed to, make gestures, monetary contributions."
"SAY, YOU HAVE A group of white
liberal students and they decide the system is wrong and they are going to change it. Then the system reminds them that Your parents will be disentranced this capitalist system, and rather keep this capitalistic system and they advantages they have?" "he said.
“And then 99.9 per of them if they to remain the same,” Gary said. “If you want to remain the same, you have to pay.”
The effect of commercialism on the black movement has had an effect on those with a superficial commitment, Gary said, but not on the "real thinkers."
Gary thinks that most protestors do not realize that to buy blue work shirts is the same as to buy white cotton shirts, since they represent the same social and economic system.
"I perpetetates the kinds of things you enjoy, so you participate in these things on which the war depends. By your own action you perpetuate an exploitive situation," Gary said.
Les Schwartz, Overland Park junior and a student scientist, thinks that the major cause of quieter campuses across the country is the destructive violence in mass protests.
"The biggest things that have really kept the violence down are Jackson State and Kent State. I think students are realizing that grownups are going to play with them and not ours. It's a real situation and not a real situation, they're going to kill kids," he said.
IN GENERAL, HE THINKS that isolated incidences of protest were ineffective solutions for complex problems in the world; he meticulously built into the whole system.
"The Gary Jackson demonstration last year drained the students. I certainly don't want to get involved in a demonstration that is going to turn out violent. That's not what a demonstration is for," Schwartz insisted.
Schwartz also thinks there is a tendency, in student government work at least, to concentrate more on University affairs and less on national and world issues.
"I think now (student) senators realize that there is nothing we can really do about the government from involvement in Southeast Asia and we can't do much about the prisoner of war situation. About with University problems," he work with University problems," he said.
HE REPORTED THAT the Student Senate had handled several problems of discrimination against students in academic and housing matters.
as ROTC courses accomplish more than a temporary release of frustration.
Schwartz thinks that even peaceful demonstrations about campus issues such
"Students can protest in a peaceful manner, and it may keep tensions from building, but it doesn't solve the problem. They can't be cornered until next year. Demonstrations are useful tools; they get views put in the paper and bring problems to a head, but that as far as it goes, Students are not able to solve problems to solve problems." Schwartz remarked.
In a recent interview Emily Taylar, dean of women, said one reason for fewer demonstrations was that current problems, such as those facing the women's movement required more subtle kinds of action.
"That technique (mass demonstration) nas by and large outlived its usefulness."

Reform Package Promised
Budget Increase Means Tax Hike, Says Docking
TOPEKA (AP)—Gov. Robert Docking said Wednesday night that it would be necessary for him to recommend a revenue package to finance the additional expenses if he raised the budget recommendation by State Budget Director James Bibb
"Each year I have presented a balanced budget," Docking said. "Each year I have proposed a funding package to meet my budget's recommended expenditures.
"This year if I restore funds to the state budget director's tentative budget, I then will recommend a package of tax reforms which would serve a two-fold purpose."

India Says Pakistanis Withdrawing in East
Bv The Associated Press
India claimed Wednesday the enemy's lines in East Pakistan had crumbled and the Pakistani army was in confused retreat, but conceded its own forces were in peril on the western front in Kashmir to denied Indian gains in East Pakistan.
An Indian spokesman in New Delhi said "Pakistan soldiers are withdrawing from all the border areas in Bangla Desh into Pakistan." An Indian spokesman in Desh is the rebel name for East Pakistan.
The Indians claimed to be within 28 miles southeast of Dacca, the East Pakistani capital, after capturing Jessore and Badrullahi in India in the east and Syilat in the northeast.
Radio Pakistan said those towns "are firmly in our control and Indian radio broadcasts of their capture are fantastic, ridiculous and baseless."
A REPORT from Rawalpindi, West Pakistan said Indian forces had been driven back in the Hilli region in the north-west.
"We are defending every inch of our sacred soil," the official Pakistan biologist said.
The chief of staff of the Indian army, Gen. Sam Manekshaw, broadcast his second appeal in two days to Pakistani soldiers in the east to surrender.
A group of Western correspondents belied the Pakistani claim of holding Jessore. The correspondents were allowed to visit the town and watched as jubilant crowds cheered the conquering Indian troops.
The residents brought out the red, green and gold flags of Bangla Desh that they had concealed in their homes. Tanks and armored personnel carriers thundered through Jessore in pursuit of the Pakistani.
The news for the Indians was grim from Kashmir. The Indian spokesman said the
Pakistani launched a fierce new attack with troops and tanks on the east bank of the Tawi River Wednesday afternoon "and our troops are very hard pressed."
The Indians had fallen back from Chamb, near the border, Tuesday and tried to dig into the east bank of the Tawi to check the Pakistan drive threatening to cut off the main road from Kashmir to the rest of India.
THE PAKISTANIS have committed more than a division of infantry and three armored brigades to the battle, the spokesman said, and strategic positions in the area have changed hands several times.
He claimed the Pakistaniis were driven back from some ground they had gained but fighting still was raging, making it difficult to give a clear assessment of the battle.
The spokesman was reluctant to give too many details of the Chambh fight, however, and at one point commented: "I will try to avoid giving fresh news of Chambh."
The only highway link between New Delhi and Srinagar, the capital of Indian Kashmir, runs near the battle area, which also was the scene of bloody fighting in the 1965 war between India and Pakistan over Kashmir.
In the Punch area 70 miles north of Chamb, the spokesman reported the Pakistanis were engaging Indian forces at points but said there was no heavy fighting.
THE SPOKESMAN also reported some fighting to the south in the Rajasthan Desert along the border and inside West Bengal, where Indians claimed capturing five small towns.
Official sources in West Pakistan said Indian planes raided Wakalipind for the day, strifing areas near the military airbases workshops. They gave no details of damage.
Docking said, "Students from the state's six colleges and universities have asked to be included."
"I know these persons are sincere about their requests for restoring funds. They also should be sincere about supporting measures to finance the restorations."
Docking said his recommendations to the legislature would be toward "farreer goals" such as education, law enforcement, the environment, highways, agriculture, conflict of interests, consumer protection, our government's welfare reform, to name only a few.
The governor said revenue measures should meet specific tests to qualify as true tax reforms. He said these tests were: "Reform must lessen the burden for
- Reform must lessen the burden for those least able to pay.
- —No change should be permitted which increases tax regression.
- Increases should insure only to those persons who have been paying less than the base rate.
-Tax exemption and closing loopholes should be eliminated, except those diocesan constitutional mandate, federal prohibition of taxation because of further regressive tendencies.
Docking reiterated his vow to veto any measure that increased the state sales tax
*Tax rates should not be increased until a reform in its entirety is accompanied.*
House OK's $3 Billion in Foreign Aid
WASHINGTON (AP)—The House passed Wednesday a $3 billion foreign aid money bill bearing $400 million for Israel but none for India, Pakistan and Ecuador—with Senate leaders still saying they will refuse to consider it.
The vote was 214 to 179
With the present spending authority for foreign aid and defense expiring at midnight, House and Senate leaders consulted on putting out an interim extension—possibly into next year—but came to no early agreement.
Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana, whose six-month Indochina war deadline has the House and Senate blocked for an international foreign aid, refused to give up the deadline.
The $3 billion foreign aid money bill was passed by the House after worried leaders appealed to the House not to kill the bill and a blue of foreign aid supporters, who are determined to vote against it because of cuts, announced they would reluctantly accept it.
Adjusting a Problem, Orientals Say
Editor's Note: This is the fourth in a five part series dealing with the state of KU minorities today. A story on American minorities will be presented at KU. The next story will be about Arabs at KU.

Of the more than 800 foreign students representing 87 nations at the University of Kansas this fall, approximately 200 are from China, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea.
The Chinese Students Association at KU primarily serves as a social organization, according to Hsiang Huang, senior marketing manager of the republic of China and president of the group.
Among these international students more than one-third are attending KU for their studies.
Haiang said that the group's members, who number approximately 100, usually were from the same class.
"We try to get people to talk over personal problems they encounter being in a foreign country—problems adjusting to different life styles." Hsiang said.
Members of the group participated in a program over Thanksgiving vacation sponsored by the University of Oklahoma. The Chinese students there invited Chinese groups from schools in the area to meet in Norma, Okla., Haiyan said.
The Festival, according to Ronnie Sookhoo, president of the International Club, is still in the planning stages, but is scheduled to take place in April.
To carry out this purpose at KU, the group plans to sponsor the Chinese banquet, which has become an annual event to celebrate its participation in the International Festival.

"THE RELATION between the United States and Japan has become rather serious recently" Oishi said. "There is a possibility we will have a discussion with American students, on a group basis, about the relations."
"If some students or group show an interest, we will arrange it, and would like to see us."
Oishi was unsure exactly how long the

"Japanese students from many areas in Japan come here and have no acquaintances and feel lonely," Oishi explained. "We try to console or entertain them. If they have trouble in the language here, we can help them."
Oshi defied the main aim of the 45 member organization as attempting to maintain friendships among Japanese students. He said, however, that they did not exclude relationships between Japanese and other students—Americans

for two years, after which time he must return to work with the company.
"There are many Japanese students who major in pharmacy at KU because of a well-known professor—Dr. Higuchi," Oishi said.
The Korean Student Association has approximately 30 members who meet "as often as they want" according to their faculty and graduate student from Seoul, South Korea.
KOREAN STUDENTS, Hong said, didn't seem to have any special problems in adjusting to life at KU. He said they apparently enjoyed socializing with fellow countrymen as well as with American students.
"Some may have financial problems, but we can borrow money from our government," Hong said. "If a program is available, can connect between our government."
In addition to joining groups from other countries for the International Festival, the group Hong, Wang, planned to sponsor a student study abroad program and faculty would be invited to attend.
