Democracy Thrown Out In Cambodia
Paratroopers moved into Bangkok to buttress regular police patrols, and tanks encircled the Parliament building. But despite imposition of martial law and police checkpoints in the streets, the canal appeared calm.
BANGKOK (AP)--Thailand's brief experiment with limited democracy ended Wednesday as Premier Thanom Kittikachorn dissolved Parliament, suspended the constitution and assumed absolute power.
Regular announcements on Radio Thailand, interspersed with patriotic songs, said Thanom would head a Revolutionary Council with power to decide all civil and military matters. The Cabinet was disbanded
The council pledged to continue Thailand's foreign policy, which has been strongly anti-Communist and pro-American during the Indochina war.
THERE WAS NO indication Thanom's assumption of absolute power would endanger the status of U.S. air bases in Thailand.
An announcement from Revolutionary Council headquarters said internal domestic strife and a threatening international situation had made the coup
The announcement, broadcast over national radio, said the internal troubles included obstruction by Parliament, involvement with student unrest strikes and terrorism.
Constitutional procedures, it added, would have been too late.
Hoping for a Winning Season
Foreign Minister Thanat Khman, who lost his job, blamed on "excessive behavior" of members of Parliament for Thanom's decision.
THANOM'S POWER move ended the twoyear life of Parliament and the three-year life of Thailand's constitution. Both were experimental ways of government in Thailand, which was the absolute monarchy of Siam until 1932.
Thanom, a 60-year-old field marshal, ruled the country by decree from 1963 until his death.

Iranian Student Releases Transcript As Discrimination Dispute Continues
By RICHARD GUSTIN Kansan Staff Writer
Hooshang Hatati, Tehran, Iran
sophisticated, released a copy of his official
book, "The Book of God," in 2015.
Hatami claimed that his application for readmission to the School of Engineering had been rejected because officials of that school discriminated against Iranian student.
AFTER STUDYING at the Intensive English Center, Hatami applied to, and was accepted into the School of Engineering, and Hatami completed the spring 1970, Hatami completed his first semester in the school with a grade point average of 3.00 on the 4-point system. Hatami took 14 hours of engineering courses and received a "B" in each subject.
In spring 1971, Hatami began his second semester in the College by enrolling in 15 hours. Included in that semester's studies were physics 52, "General Physics III". According to the transcript, Hatami attended a "computer science" course, including a "C" in the physics course, giving him a semester grade point average of 2.0.8 and reducing his overall average to 2.18.
THIS WAS HATAMI'S academic record up to the date he submitted his application.
Prior to his second semester, Hatiam transferred to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences where he took 14 hours, including physics 8. "General Physics II." Hatiam received two "D's" and two "C's" that semester. One of the "D's" was in the physics course. The transcript shows that he earned a point average, placing him on probation and reducing his overall grade point average from 3.00 to 2.25.
An Iranian Student Association statement released in connection with Hatamai's transcript stated, "The admission policy of the School of Engineering is to accept only students who have colleges is stated clearly within the 1971-72 Engineering School catalog: 'Students may transfer to the School of Engineering from other accredited colleges or universities or from other divisions of the School of Engineering. You give a grade point average of at least 2.0."
"Because Mr. Hatami does meet this requirement, we can see no reason for him to be denied admission. Therefore the teacher should inform the Engineering School should give a direct
answer as to why Mr. Hatami was rejected."
"In fact, past experience has shown that a student who does not master the material in physics is $8 quite likely to have missed it." In courses at the junior and senior level.
Donald Metzler, associate dean of the School of Engineering, said in a telephone interview that many factors other than a student's academic ability were considered before a student was rejected or accepted into the school. Some of these factors, said Metzler, included demonstrated academic ability, scores on standardized tests and the student's current academic trend.
"HAD HE BEEN enrolled in the School of Engineering in the 1976-71 school year. Hatamia would have been placed on probation at the end of the fall term for his 1.5 grade point average and placed on the dismisered for poor scholarship list at the start of the spring term for failure to achieve a C average during the academic year."
the electrical engineering curriculum.
"In the spring term of 1971," said Metzler. The Holuumi earned 12 hours of work.

KU Will Not Provide Funds to Bus Company
Coal Pact Challenged

Meanwhile the Pay Board made its first challenge of a labor contract, the four-day-old agreement giving soft-coal miners raises up of up to 35 per cent over three years and doubling management's contribution to the union pension fund.

No funds will be given by the University of Kansas to subsidize the failing Lawrence Bus Company, Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr., said Wednesday.
Diane Ogle, manager of the company,
said Tuesday that the company would half
its assets.
While a subsity of the Lawrence Bus Company was proposed last spring, lack of funds forced KU to drop the project, Chalmers said.
House Kills Cutoff for War Funds
A subsidy of $8,000 was budgeted from the fees to be collected from parking sticker sales for student transportation, Chalmers said. Student transportation was to include a subsidy of regular bus runs from school to campus in Berlin and Gertrude Sellhards Poehall halls.
WASHINGTON  (AP) - The House rejected Wednesday night a June 1 cutoff on all U.S. money for the Indochina war, a president Nixon确认 engagement.
The wage-price freeze, imposed in August, did not allow the sales of parking stickers at the proposed increased rate of $25. Since parking stickers were sold at the old rate of $10, no money was available for a bus subsidy, Chalmers said.
Even if the second stage of the freeze, which began Nov. 13, allows a part of the campus to be free from heat, the Chalmers team, no funds will be allotted by KU for a subsidy of the Lawrence Bus system.
THE MONEY STITUTION is dire at this point for KU. Chalmers said. Any money taken in through increased parking stoker fees, or the cost of reactive baskets, will be needed for the operation of KU Traffic and Security, which receives the bulk of these funds, he said.
The old fees were able to cover Traffic and Security operations since a surplus had been built during several years, Chalmers said. Since that surplus has been depleted, and a smaller amount than was expected was collected from parking lots for Traffic and Security is operating on a dollar income, dollar out-basis, he said.
Backing the President's appeal to put no restrictions on his efforts for a negotiated settlement against an amendment by Rep. Edward P. Boland, D-Mass., to halt the war funds. The amendment was to the $7-billion budget for the Army. House passed by a 342-31 vote and sent to

Chairmanals that he was not aware of Ogle's plan to lower bus fares from 20 cents to 10 cents, to attract more riders, if guaranteed a subsidy by the University.
The House vote came shortly after Nixon announced he would ignore Congress' call to abolish the Senate.
SUA Forum on Finances To Feature 2 Legislators

A forum on financing of higher education in Kansas at 8 p.m. today in the Kansas Union will feature three men with key interests in government's handling of university budget.
A fourth official scheduled to appear, State Sen. Dave Owen, a member of the Senateate and Means Committee, said Wednesday he would not be able to attend.
The forum is presented to discuss problems in financing state college and industry.
The Concerned Students plan to present a prepared statement during their meeting and give background on the group and its goals in influencing the Legislature's financing of higher education. Rusty Cannon, member of the group, said Wednesday.

A WHITE HOUSEase said Nixon believes the vote against the Boland amendment "could be considered a new backing of his policy of gradual disengagement while keeping alert for the possibility of a negotiated end of the war.
“This, on top of evidence that Congress is reconsidering the need for foreign aid, has heartened the President no end,” the aide said.
President Nixon announced a few hours earlier in the signing a $21.3 billion weapons authorization bill that he would not be bound by its policy amendment calling for negotiation of an end to the war "at the earliest possible time" in return for a portion of American prisoners.
Antiwar senators promptly challenged Nixon's action and planned to make
NIXON STRONGLY opposed the Boland amendment, just as he fought the amendment sponsored by Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana which was tacked on the procurement bill.
The Mandfield amendment "is without binding force or effect," Nixon said, and it does not reflect my judgment about the war should be brought to a conclusion.
"My signing of the bill that contains this section will not change the policies I have pursued and that I shall continue to pursue toward this end."
These cities have found some solutions to their problems, Chalmers said. The merchants of Boulder, Colo., have provided shuttle service to the downtown area for students from the University of Colorado, he said.
Chalmers expressed concern over the impending lack of bus service for the city, but said that the Lawrence situation was not unique. He said that many university towns the size of Lawrence have lost bus service in recent years.
that new contracts may not contain increases in pay and fringe benefits of more than 5.5 per cent a year unless special conditions were placed. The waiting was scheduled for Thursday morning.

THE PAY BOARD meanwhile again rejected organized labor's demand for unconditional retroactive payment of wage increases lost during the freeze, a board source said. The vote was 9 to 5, with the labor members in the minority.
—UNION SOURCES in Miami Beach and the AFI-CLO Executive Committee decided in a private session to keep its labor representatives on the Pay Board.
The board also considered the matter of merit pay, a spokesman said, but announced no decision. Further discussion is scheduled for Thursday.
—IT WAS LEARNED that an arm of the Pay Board last Friday ordered, with no public announcement, that union workers could pay them a raise if any pay raises until further notice. Substantial clarification" of this announcement promised after a meeting next Saturday.

Gaslight Owner's Petition Denies Miller's Charges
By LARRY CHRIST
Kansun Staff Writer
Reggie Scarrbrough, owner of the Gadfall, 1411 Ordain, said Wednesday that he had answered charges made by Atty. He said his clients were the scene of illegal drug activities.
A petition filed Nov. 10 in Douglas County District Court by George Melvin, an attorney representing Scarbrough and Harold Stagg, manager of the tavern, denies all allegations in an Oct. 27 hearing against Douglas County attorney Mike Elwell.
Miller and Elwolk claimed that the Gaslight 'had been used for unlawful drug use' by a group regulating narcotic and dangerous drugs, which unlawful activities were carried on, or about during the months of June, August and September and appeared to be of national importance.
This, the injunction request said, constitutes a public misuse, and the tavern
should be closed. Scarbrough, Stang and Mary Rowlands, owner of the Gaslight Inn.
Officials in the office of the district court clerk said that the next step would be for the attorney general or the county attorney to ask for a preliminary hearing date.
Scarbrough and Stagg, in their official response to the charges, denied that illegal drug activities took place at the Gaslight. The investigation received international 10 days on Nov. 9 file her work.
Searbrough said that all tavern owners in the campus area are backing him in his bid.
The tavern will be allowed to stay open until the trial process is completed. Scarbrough's attorney indicated that this might take some time.
He said that the Gaslight was always on the lookout for persons attempting to sell drugs. These persons, he said, were never welcome inside the tavern.
'Formulated Budget' Favored by Stewart
Editor's Note: This is the fourth in a series of interviews with the Kansas Board
By 1. DEAN CAPLE Kansan Staff Writer
Regent Jess Stewart of Warnedgo said that the proposal by the Board of Regents to use a "formulated budget" system was deemed inappropriate for base fundings for higher education.
As it is now, Stewart said, funds are appropriated on an overall student-faculty ratio. He said this appropriation didn't take into account the fact that KU has had an increase in upperclassmen and a decrease in under-classmen. He said that KU would need more students than a freshman or sophomore, and even more to educate a graduate student.
Stewart said the cost could be determined "at different levels."
The formulated budget will be a "more equitable form of educational funding." Stewart said, and over the "long haul" it will improve conditions.
"Compromise was in the best interests," said Stewart, a reprent for three years, concerning the decision to allow but now sell, beer on the campus.
THE REGENT SAID that the Student Senate was doing their job "real well." He said that he had known student body president Dave Miller and the other officers for a number of years and had seen the progress they had made.
Stewart said he particularly likes the wav Mayer 'handles student affress.'
The activity fees, Stewart said, are paid by the students and the distribution should be decided by them. He said that there were still obligations that would have to be met in order for a student to participate; there were still unpaid bonds on the construction of seating in the stadium that
STEWART SAID that he was especially pleased with the College-Within-aCollege system at KU. He said he would like to see it expanded to a four-year program.
would have to be put first before a redistribution would be decided on.
"It has advantages particularly for the student in retaining his individual iden- tity."
Stewart was also pleased with the student representation on university committees. He said it was "a real plus for the University of Kansas."
Stewart, 46, is a Democrat who classifies his politics as "a little left of center." He graduated from the University of Kansas and works in business. He is a funeral director in Wamagoe.
