United Fund In 3rd Week Of Extension
On Monday, the University of Kansas division of the United Fund Campaign Drive had collected $7,116,40 of its $28,000 or about 96 per cent
The third week the drive had been extended began Monday with 87 per cent of its $130,055 collected. The total received by Monday was $130,966.36.
Officials of the drive were still optimistic about reaching the goal.
Of the nine collection divisions, three have reached their goals. These divisions are the federal offices, city and county departments and trailer and apartment complexes.
One of the persons in the United Fund office said that the drive this year could be compared to an old soldier it won't die but will simply fade away.
The industrial collections had reached $44,915.69 of their $2,500 goal and the professional division had $5,796.00 of their $6,800 promise.
Wunsch Believes Senate Handles Fees Well
...But not representative of student body ...
Two divisions which seem to be having the greatest difficulty attaining the minimum cost are $31,820; $4,800 or 69.12 per cent; and the business category with $82,528 of $36,300 or more.
The residential division has $10,113.18 of its $12,600 goal.
Officials of the drive say they would continue to collect funds for about a week and may even extend it until Thanksgiving.
Wunsch Claims KU Will Retain Prestige Despite Faculty Losses
Editor's Note: This is the second in a series of interviews with the Kansas Board of Regents. In yesterday's story a picture of Regent Carl Courter of Wichita was mistakenly identified as that of Regent Robert Helman of Goodland.

PAUL. WUNCHS, Regent from Kingman, can feel empathy with University of Washington and the contest for their university over the contest for University. Wunsch is a former KU student, who received both his BA and LBG degrees here. He is presently a
In a telephone interview, Wunsch said that he thought the threat of KU's losing its prestige because many of its faculty were leaving was not a major problem.
"We always have a few professors leave, some good and some bad," Wunsch said. "I just doubt that there is going to be any difference in the educational standards of the school."
"I just think it's unnecessary to recognize every little organization that might want to creep up," he said. "I just want it's necessary or the thing to do."
On the topic of student fees, Wunsch said he thought that the Student Senate was handing the distribution of activity fees in a responsible manner, although he contended that the fee distribution was the majority of students wanted the fees distributed in the manner that they were.
Wunsch said that the Regents were doing their best to get the Kansas Legislature to approve more funding, and specifically to grant an 8 per cent pay increase for faculty members. He said that under the present wage freeze, however, that it appeared the largest possible increase would be 5 per cent.
"JUDGING FROM the recent election there, I'm inclined to believe that the students don't care much how the money is spent as long as it's spent fairly," Wunsch said.
Wunsch thought that recognition of the Wunsch Liberation Front definitely should not be forgotten.
He added that he did not think that the student Senate was representative of the state.
WICHTH (AP)—Gov. Robert Docking pledged Monday night to be "tough but fair minded" in trimming state agencies' fiscal 1973 budget requests this year, but left no doubt he was going to cut them to the bone once more.
"Judging by the total of the agency requests, apparently some agency heads turned a ear toward my suggestions. I want to get the message in the budget hearings."
Noting that the agencies have requested $1,094,500,000 for fiscal 73—or $123.8 million more than the 1971 legislature appropriated—Docking said, "a budget of $100 million of it of the question. It is obvious we cannot afford it. It is unrealistic and unacceptable."
actions which the Regents might take at meetings. He said that adequate comment could be made on board action after the meetings had been held.
As to the issue of beer sales in the Kansas Union, Wunsch said that the action of the Regents was meant to clarify the position of the University with respect to granting permission for the consumption campus and secondly, to forbid its sale.
Docking said he had given Bibb 10 guidelines with which to judge the budget requests "in examining whether each new program is justified, whether each state program should be continued and if it should be financed at a level of financing it should be operated."
Wunich has been a member of the Board of Regens for two and a half years. He was an early player at the University.
"I will work to reduce the state agency requests. I will be tough, but fair-minded. I am going to see that every tax dollar is used as wisely and efficiently as possible."
In remarks prepared for the annual meeting of the Kansas Farm Bureau at the Broadway Hotel here Monday evening, Docking declared:
Docking, has attended a few of the budget hearings state Budget Director James Bibb has been conducting at the statehouse in Topeka the past two weeks, representatives to several other hearings. The real work will begin Thursday, Docking said.
Wunsch said he considers himself a political moderate but at the same time is a liberal.
because he thought young people would not take much interest in voting.
"I WILL BEGIN hearings to review each agency request," the governor said. Recalling he had asked agency heads last summer to carefully review their budget requests and seek only the money they absolutely needed, Docking said;
The restricted distribution list of the agendas for the Regens' meetings has stirred some controversy recently, when nine senators confirmed establishment to pre-prep judging of
"I'M WILLING TO change; the times have been changing and I think we ought to change with the thinking of the people," he asserted.
He said Kansas families are feeling the pitch of inflation and the state is going to have a hard time keeping up.

China Makes U.N. Debut With Denunciation of U.S.
Seeks Efficient Tax Use
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP)-Red China made its U.N. debut Monday with a bitter attack on the United States. The top Chinese delegate demanded the immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces from China and of U.S. military support of Taiwan.
The Chinese delegate attacked imperialism, colonialism and the "superpowers," which he did not identify by name but referred to several times as "one or two"—apparently meaning the United States and the Soviet Union.
Chiao spoke after hearing 57 welcoming speeches. Both the United States and the Soviet Union decided to participate at the last moment.
Surprising many who had expected the first Chinese Communist speech to be a knowledgeed, warm welcome. Curious we asked the warren of aggression by sending U.S. naval forces into the Taiwan Strait and by its military intervention in Vietnam, Cambodia and

Soviet Ambassador Jacob A. Malkin pointed to the Soviet Union's long support of Red China's U.N. bid. He made no mention of differences between Moscow and Peking.
"It was only because of the outbreak of the Korean War," he said, "that the U.S. government went back on its own words and sent armed forces to invade and occupy China's Taiwan, and to date they are still there."
CHIAO REASERTED Peking's claim to Taiwan as "an inalienable part of China's territory," stating that the United States had not acknowledged this on more than one occasion.
In addressing the 131-nation assembly as the representative of the host country, Bush referred to the issues of principle that divided the assembly during last month's debate, but said, "Those differences should not obscure the proposition on which nearly all of us, in India and the United States, agreed moment in time that was favored for the People's Republic of China to be in the United Nations."
"The superpowers want to be superior to others and lord it over others. At no time, neither today nor ever in the future, will China be a superpower subjecting others to its aggression, subversion, control, interference or bullying."
TURNING TO DISARMAMMENT,
he said: "If the United States and the Soviet Union really and truly want disarmament, then it is not to be the first to use nuclear weapons."

Lawrence late this evening $ \rho $
FOLLOWING IS THE text delivered Monday to members of the National Municipal League by Stephen Hill, Lawrence Paper Co. official;
In the 1800's, Lawrence became nationally known as a result of Quantrill's raid. Quantrill and his band of mauraders decided to make an example of Lawrence, Kansas. They drove people from their town and burned Lawrence to the ground.
That was our first experience with urban renewal. Lawrence was rebuilt by the surviving members of the establishment, which is part of the industrial industry and no doubt, in complacency.
By the late 1960s, Lawrence was a city of middle Americans living on tressided streets with thousands of young people on its state university campus, with hundreds more at Haskell American Indian Junior College and with what had seemed a black or white, black and Mexican-American residents. In short, Lawrence was a powder-keg.
In the spring, black students walked out of Lawrence High School protesting what they considered unfair treatment. This led to a federal lawsuit against blacks and law-endurance officers.
THAT POWDER-KEG exploded in the spring and summer of 1870.
Next, an unknown arsonist struck the University of Kansas Student Union causing over a million dollars in damage. As students joined firemen in fighting this blaze, the rest of the nation was watching Lawrence on television.
Violent confrontations between the police and students and non-students around the university then occurred, and the calling in of the National Guard.
The summer brought sporadic firebombings, sniping and violent confrontations between the police and various groups in the city. Two young men were killed one black, one white. Tension was like differences seemed impossible to conceal.
A STUDY MADE at that time showed that the city was split into various camps, with each camp disrustful of the others. But, gradually, it became evident that within every group there were sensible and sensitive people shocked by these developments. From many sides new attempts to communicate. It was as though, at the moment

Docking said he will recommend to the legislature "specific tax reform measures which will keep our state on a course toward a fair and equitable tax structure."
Among the recommendations, he told the Kansas Farm Bureau, will be that the property tax lid be extended, because it worked and worked well in our state."

School Wants Iranian To OK Grade Release
By RICHARD GUSTIN Kansan Staff Writer
Donald Metzler, associate dean of the School of Engineering, declined to comment Monday on the reasons why an administration at Tehran, Iran, biosapore, was ruined.
In an interview Monday, Metzler said he could not comment until Hatami signed a release form agreeing to make his academic records public. Such a release form was prepared in his office, Metzler said, on Thursday, the day after the deadline for requesting information on Hatami's application and clarification of the school's admission policy. Hatami declined to sign the release.
Ben Sellers, Salina law student and ambushman, said Metzler had said the reason for Hatami's application rejection was that Hatami was an Iranian student. He said it was entirely possible that something about Hatami's nationality may have been said.
Hatami, a foreign student, charges that his application for readmission to the Engineering School after two semesters in New York Arts and Sciences, was rejected, because
He also said that Farhad Amidi, Isfahan, Iran sophomore and international relations officer of the Iranian Student Association had made statements in public about his conversation with Metzler concerning Hatami's academic qualifications.
A draft of a statement on Engineering
School admission procedures was submitted to Francis Heller, vice chancellor for academic affairs, and would be released at some future date. Metzler said.
In an interview, Heller said the draft, currently under study, would not reflect anything new as far as admissions and transfer requirements, and the School of Engineering had been doing.
In answering charges made Monday that foreign students were submitted to "shouting and humiliation" at the intensive English center, O. Dean Gregory, acting director of the center, said the charges were "too vague for comment."
"Hatami's application has emphasized the need for clarification of the administrative practices of the School of Engineering," said Heller.
Gregory did say that foreign students were not allowed to see either their midterm examinations or finals because these tests are standardized. The same tests are used each semester and could be combined. Students were allowed to see their papers.
Cultural differences between foreign students and their English teachers did cause problems, but similar problems occurred with foreign students themselves. Greely said.
Never, Gregory said, had he received complaints of abuse from foreign students.
Heller said he expected Hatami to reapply to the School of Engineering after the statement was released and that Hatami's application would be reviewed in accordance with the procedures outlined in the statement.
Senate Group to Choose Conflict of Interest Unit
The Student Senate Committee on Student Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities will meet at 7:30 p.m. tonight to select an ad hoc committee to study the possibility of conflict of interest in the Student Senate.
Steve Halbett, chairman of the Student Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities committee, was worried Monday about the selecting the ad hoc committee members.
Halbert complained that he had gotten no response from the student body. He said, however, that several senators had taken an interest in serving on the committee.
"I don't know how we're going to appoint a committee if we don't get more student input."
The enactment stipulates that the ad hoc committee "consist of five members, two of whom must be non student senators, one who must be a law student and the chairman, who must be a member of the Student Rights Committee."
The enactment that calls for the creation of a committee to study the possibility of conflict of interest in the Student Senate was submitted to the Senate last week by Peter George, chairman of the Unorganized Housing Association.
Halbett said that all students who wished
The ad hoc committee will probably begin holding open hearings on the subject of conflict of interest soon after it is appointed. Halbett said.
to serve on the committee should contact the Student Senate office before Tuesday
The original enactment presented by George, which charged the Student Rights Committee with appointing the adobe software to be the Student Senate. The final sentence of the original bill was deleted. It read, "When any financial allocation is discussed ... each senator with a vested interest in the program before he or she speaks to the question."

The argument against the requirement that the senator acknowledge his interest was that knowledge of a senator's interest might be obtained by considering the allocation subjectively, when ignorance of the senator's interest might obstruct the senators to be more objective.
George said he was not particularly happy with the present form of the enactment. He said he would not insist on a statement of interest, regardless of the committee because, he said, the senators must "account to themselves."
