India Loses Ground in Kashmir
Bv The Associated Press
India suffered a severe blow on its western front Tuesday but claimed it crushed the "hard outer crust" of the foe's forces and the Pakistan army to surrender.
The Indians admitted that under heavy attack they had lost the town of Chambu in the northern state of Kashmir. If the Pakistani drive there is unchecked, it will
cut a vital road to the northern part of that disputed state. Chambar is 30 miles northwest of the major Indian town of Jammu.
The fighting on the eastern front was severe, and the Indian government spokesman claimed the capture of the garrison town of Jessore, 18 miles from the border and 90 miles southwest of Dacca, East Pakistan's capital.
American Indians Want Study Program, Funds

The University of Kansas has 237 American Indians enrolled on the Lawrence campus, according to a report collected at enrollment.
The main unifying factor of the American Indians on campus is the Committee on Indian Affairs. The purpose of this organization is to promote Indian awareness to the university community and to the general public.
The committee wants an American Indian studies program to be set up by the University. It also would like a recruiting system to be initiated and funds to be coordinated for Indian students who wish to further their education at KU.
Cards asking students to indicate their racial status as American Indian, Negro, Oriental or other were included in registration packets.
The committee wishes to serve as a steering and informative source of direction for interested groups on campus, and it would also serve as a mediator between the KU campus, Haskell! Indian Junior College, and the city of Lawrence.
THE COMMITTEE PROPOSES to use the Indian exhibit area in the Natural History Museum as a means of educating students about natural history and the history of the items displayed.
"We wish the exhibit open and to have removed any items whose presence is not part of our committee statement earlier this year. "We also wish to correct all fallacious, misleading or incomplete statements in the descriptive materials accompanying this exhibit."
"In this way, the Indian display can serve the interests of both the Indian and non-Indian people by promoting a better understanding of Indian culture."
Social activities, in the form of parties and group discussions, are offered to the Indian student through the committee. The committee does not get together as an organized group with the students at college or at the college of the students have close friends there.
Although the enrollment survey shows 227 Indian students at KU, Tom Beaver, a professor of education, said
only five students active with the committee.
Indian students now at KU have an avid interest in working with their people and organizations.
"MY FIELD PLACEMENT is with the Indian Center in Lawrence," said Wanda Wahnee, Anudarko, Okla., graduate student.
Miss Wahine, a social welfare major,
plans to work with the Indian people after
the war.
Katheryn Red-Corn, Pawshuka, Okla,
special student, works out of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs in Washington, D.C. She has
studied at Haskell for a year with student rights.
"My main interest is Indian Education," she said. "Sociology is my major and I want to go into research concerning the American Indian."
Ona Makhzenko Keltcher, Lawrence senior said, "1 prefer to be with my Indian friends because they understand me, but I won't tangle myself from the non-Indian population," she added. "I need the help and cooperation of the non-Indian population to get anything done."
"It is easier to get along with (Indian)
people, and I don't feel obligated to be
able to speak English."
The American Indians on campus are also interested in relating to themselves.
A PAKISTANI ARMY source in Dacca maintained that the Indian advance was being held, that an Indian attack with men, tanks and planes at Hilli in the northwest was repulsed and that fierce fighting still raged ground Jessore.
Army headquarters in Calcutta reported, however, that house-to-house fighting was still going on at nightfall after the fall of Bengal. The enemy came from the nearby cantonment and airfield.
With correspondents unable to go to the front, there was no way of verifying the accuracy.
The Indian chief of staff, Gen. Sam Maneckshaw, broadcast an appeal to all 80,000 Pakistani soldiers in East Pakistan to surrender, adding: "Your fate is sealed. Time is running out. Lay down your arms before it is too late."
Maneckshaw claimed the Pakistanis were surrounded by Indian forces and the local guerrillas, known as Mukti Bahini, who were "ready to take revenge for the cruelties and atrocities you have committed."
Indian intelligence sources said they had intercepted a message from the East Pakistan commander to West Pakistan in what would be unless reinforcements come in time."
THE INDIAN ARMY asserted there advances all along the 1,350-mile front in East Pakistan. A Defense Ministry spokesman in New Delhi claimed the capture of the city of Syylte, in the ten country of the northeastern part of East Pakistan. He added it was made by the first helicopter-borne assault of the conflict.
When West Pakistan replied "Reinforcements are coming," it was decided that the Indian chief of staff should make an appeal in a broadcast, the sources reported.
A report from Calcutta said the Indian advance along the center of the front had moved to within 40 miles east of Dacca and cut off the Pakistan army base at Comilla.

In Kashmir, an Indian spokesman said after the fall of Chaharb, "our covering team was very disappointed."
'Welfare Must Be Cut'
New Taxes Unnecessary If Budget Slim, Says Bibb
TOPEKA (AP) - State Budget Director, W. Bibb was given the public a sneak preview of Kansas's financial flight heading into the 1972 legislative session Tuesday, and said the fiscal picture "makes the issues rather clear. I think"
Bibb's conclusion to a briefing of newsmen on the financial situation was that the state can get by in fiscal 1973 without any new taxes only if Gov. Robert Rumsfeld allows them to budget as bareboned as the one he has recommended to Docking. This budget
means no new programs whatsoever and cutting welfare expenditures below the level of the current fiscal year when apportioned to the public. Robert C. Harder, state welfare director.
"without additional revenues," Bibb told the newsman, "there is no money for any major new programs. If my recommendation stands of no supplemental appropriation for welfare in the present fiscal year, and if my welfare recommendation stands for fiscal 1973, it will likely mean further porption."
Effects of Budget Concern Deans, Department Heads
Many schools and departments within the University will suffer a permanent blow if the Kansas Legislature does not increase the University's budget next year a survey of the deans of the schools and department heads shows.
They generally agree that the worst effect of a stagnant budget would be the loss of their most valuable faculty members.
Other immediate problems associated with the financial crisis include overcrowding of classrooms, lack of facilities and a delay of beginning new projects and courses.
Clifford D. Clark, dean of the School of Business, said that retaining exceptional faculty would be the key area that the budget would effect.
The School of Business is widely respected because of its quality of management, and is responsible for this. Clark said. Other business schools whose reputations are not as well-known, recognize this and have to recruit members of their faculty, he said.
Faculty vacancies could be filled by well-educated men, but they would not have the stature of maturity as the ones leaving, he said. A transition of this type could set a school back 5 to 10 years, Clark said.
"The block raid is threatening the business school," Clark said. "Single schools have made offers to as many as three or four of our best faculty members. It is too early to tell if these raids will be successful."
If it is the University's goal to provide only the basic classroom and faculty, then the school will get by, but the highest cost of providing the course may be possible on the present budget, he said.
Charles H. Kahn, dean of the School of Architecture and Urban Design, is also concerned with the schools' ability to retain faculty.
"WE HAVE AN excellent faculty now and it is important that we keep them," "Since our school is a professional school, it is easy for the faculty to find other teaching positions or go into business," he said.
The school cut its programs to a minimum this year but was running out of them. Teachers are required a limit enrollment in the school to 100 freshman each fall to avoid crowded seats.
The School of Fine Arts has also had to limit its enrollment.
"We have had to turn away many well qualified students in visual arts so that the classrooms will not be overcrowded," said Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
The studios are crowded with 30 to 35 students in a room which should have a capacity of 25 persons. Students barely have room for their easels, Gorton said.
THE SCHOOL HAS also had to discontinue its graduate program in painting because of the cramped conditions. Students who are already in the graduate program are being allowed to participate, but no one else will be admitted, be said.
The School of Education has also made stricter admission standards to curtail enrollment, said Dale P. Scannell, dean of the School of Education.
The school is worried about losing faculty in competitive situations. Several members of the faculty have already retired and files are and considering other positions.
This is early in the year for this to be bannering, said Scannell.
The biggest problem for KU's many lab courses is a lack of supplies. Ronald L. McGregor, head of the division of biological sciences, said that his department had needed more lab equipment for the last several years.
"The department will be in trouble if the legislature does not appropriate more money, because we must compensate for the lack of supplies this year." McGregor said.
BRYANT C. FREEMAN, head of the department of French and Italian, said his department desperately needed equipment for its language labs. Students are able to listen to French tapes, but they are not able to record their own voices and listen to themselves. That is an important part of language teaching, he said.
"We are still optimistic that we will get more money next year, but if we don't, we will have to cut out some of the courses we offered this year." Freeman said.
Henry A. Shenk, head of the department of physical education and recreation, said his department could not expand to meet demand. He said and some of the equipment was antiquated.
It also needs more facilities such as tennis courts and intramural fields. The new health building will cut off some of the intramural area, he said, and now more work needs to be done to the intramural area at 23rd and Iowa streets.

IN THE MAJOR categories of state government, Bibb recommended his deepest cut in the area of social welfare. The state支出 $50.72 million in general revenue fund money on welfare in the 1971 fiscal year which ended last June 30 and will spend an estimated $51 million in the state budget. He is most likely mended to Docking that the state spend $48.9 million in fiscal 1973, a $2.1 million cut, or roughly 4 per cent.
Bibb said the welfare cut was based on an anticipated reduction in the welfare caseload and an improving Kansas economy. Harder has said he could foresee no dramatic drop in the welfare caseload next fiscal year.
The biggest increase recommended by Bibb is in the area of education and research. The state spent $218.66 million on education in fiscal 1971, will spend an additional $52.04 million a year and Bibb has recommended $228.32 million for fiscal 73, a刀宝 of $10.18 million.
BIBB SAID MOST of the education increase he was recommending would go for full funding of the teacher retirement program or only one-fourth the current fiscal year.
In tota, Bibb estimated the state would have $389.14 million available for the general revenue fund in fiscal 1973 and has offered a tentative budget to Docking in 1975.
He estimates the general fund will dip to a low of $661,000 in February 1973, which he says is too low, but points out the state's $50 million fund which can tide the state over this low point.
Bibb said, "... I am more optimistic about recovery in the economy than when our preliminary estimates were made, and when a final adjustment in the revenue base would be required in relation to revision upward may provide a satisfactory balance at this point."
ASKED WHY HE was breaking tradition and giving out detailed information of his tentative budget ahead of Docking's preparation of the budget which goes to the legislature in January, Bibb said it had been authorized to talk about this year.
He did not elaborate
Burnu said the purpose of having the news briefing on the preliminary budget was to keep the media informed.
Patrick Buran, one of Docking's administrative assistants, attended the briefing.
"Beyond that, there will be some revenues necessary," Burnus said. "This is an attempt to show you where we stand today."
ASKED POINTELY IF the briefing might be a move at laying the groundwork for Docking's suggesting tax increases to the 72 legislature, both Bibb and Burnau took evasive action and would say no more.
Bibb would not provide newsmen with a figure of what his budget recommendations total in all funds for fiscal 1973.
State agencies requested $1.094 billion in all funds, but Docking has criticized these requests and given little doubt he would trim them well below the $1 billion figure.
"I can say that my recommendations were under $1 billion," Bibb said. "But Congress could change my mind overnight."
"IIf Congress pouses more money into the states, it would change our budget, and neither the governor nor I could do much to increase the money we were to turn the federal money down."
Campus Mood Quiet But Difficult to Define
By ANN CONNER Kansan Staff Writer
A subtle change of mood has crept over the KU campus this year. The exact mood is indefinable, but, in general, there is less rhetoric and more reflection, less concern for mass gatherings and more concern for bomb threats, than talk of bombs and more talk of budgets.
Editor's Note: This is the first of a three part service on the changing complexion of skin.
The quiet has been labeled a return to the apathy of the 50s by some and only the calm before the storm by others. To find out what some possible reasons for the calm might be, several people from various parts of the KU community were asked about their experience with the quiet campus. In any such survey, there are no precise answers, only broad concepts tempered with personal opinion; there are no mass formulas, only individual suggestions.
David K. Ranney, Wichita senior, was active in the peace movement at KU, particularly the Student Mobe, and in November of 1969 he helped to organize a trip to the national Moratorium in Washington, D.C.
"When we came home from Washington we were just burned out from the organization of it all," he said. "We worked with the Lawrence Peace Center. During the five days there and back we never slept. We had a lot of car trouble, only Ockies and potato chips, and the other was football—and it was the biggest social demonstration in America." Runney exclaimed.
He thinks that most of the former activists are busy with their own studies and have dropped out of the mass peace movement.
After a while, he said, many of the peace
movement leaders felt their efforts were worthless.
"I THINK everyone's up on the University too," he remarked. "You realize that it's just a temporary environment and has little to do with what goes on in the rest of the country, racially, politically and the whole bit.
"Eventually, you reach the limit, and that is when you reach people in power and they say it is a good day to watch football, and you see everything you worked for go down the drain. You reach a point that could up a gun or you drop out," Ranney said.
"A lot of people who were really involved just couldn't give a shit because they realize just how irrelevant this university environment is. They just want us to get out and then do something, KU has a lot to offer in the war of learning."
Also, he suggested that many of the old
leaders who are now graduates find it difficult to maintain their ideals and a sense of identity.

ANOTHER CHANGE affecting the mass protests, he believes, is the growing commercialization of the outward signs of urban life, such as clothes, language and hair style.
"In 1969 to 1870, you had X number of hippies and Y amount of social action. Now you've got 4X number of so-called hippies and no social action. Now, there's some reason why. It can't be explained by just facts. It must be more to it and it very sally," he said.
"So when they graduate and get married and they need a job, they think. 'How am I going to remain true to my cause and still eat?' so people just drop the cause and eat. It's real sad but that's the way it is," Ranney said.
slang without assuming revolutionary ideas. They can wear the outward signs, he suggested, without adopting the inner experience and thought, because the outer signs are now in style and can be bought in stores everywhere.
"People aren't going through the experience that's necessary to reach a goal," she said. "And look at the ecological movement; it's been commercialized. The whole thing just has been totally co-opted with the total frustration." Runnyca said.
"If you can be hip by the way you look, why even bother to think?" he said. "The bell-bottom crowd is going to end up selling insurance."
Rannie made some guesses about what the trend would be for mass movements in earth.
