Police Watch Motorists Closely

In an effort to enforce traffic regulations more stringently, Lawrence police officers are issuing more traffic citations to drivers who violate the law, the Capt. Merle McClare said recently.
McClure said that motorists would perhaps drive more safely if they knew policemen were watching more closely for traffic violators.
"The whole thing has been blown way out of proportion," he said.
McClure, however, said that the new program was not being understood by the
He referred specifically to a recent newspaper story that reported policemen would start issuing municipal court arrest warrants because of vehicular collisions regardless of which party was apparently at fault. The Municipal Court judge would then determine the guilt. This, the story went on to explain, would change the traditional policy of having officers issue citations for vehicular collisions when they thought were violance of violation.
MCLURE and Municipal Court officials both strongly denied that this was the case.
"It was extremely inaccurate," Municipal Court Judge Jack Maxwell said shortly after the article appeared. "No one knew why I was so mad as I don't know why I was mentioned."
McClure said officers would continue as always to issue citations in automobile accidents according to whom they thought was guilty. The only difference in policy, he said, was that officers would become more auspicious in issuing citations.
"Officers had become law in their duties of giving citations," he explained.
Sgt. Mike Garcia of the department's
traffic division said that both parties would be issued citations in accidents only when officers believed that both parties had committed a violation.
"But this isn't different from the procedure we have followed in the past," she said.
WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL receives a citation for committing a traffic violation, if he is a resident of Lawrence, he is imprinted on his driver's license, own recognition without posting a bond.
If a cited individual pleads guilty to the charge at his arraignment, a fine is assessed. Failure to pay the fine can result in a jail sentence.
Out-of-city persons, which police consider most KU students to be must, post a bond equal to the amount of the fine that would be assessed upon conviction.
Efforts to get drivers to drive safely have involved more than instructing officers to move more tickets, according to Garcia. The police force will soon be expanded by 15 members who are now being trained and will be added shortly, he said.
Any person who pleads not guilty at his arraignment is given a date for a trial
ALTHOUGH NOT ALL of the new men will be added to the traffic division, enough manpower will be gained to permit radar systems to be used more extensively, he said.
"They will be used at least eight hours a day," he said. "That will be quite a bit more expensive."
Although the department hopes to cut down the number of traffic accidents that now occur in the city, Garcia said that it is "the most numerous this year than last year at this time."
"The only traffic statistic that has rapidly increased in fatalities," he said. "We're not alone."
U.S. Companies Producing High-Protein Food Abroad
By JUNE RANIE
Koncon Staff Writer
In exploring the possibilities for remedying hunger problems in America, high-protein, low-cost new foods have been suggested.
Editor's Note: This is the last in a series on malnourishment and malnutrition.
In El Salvador, the Pillarsbury Company is selling a fortified powdered beverage muxe, "Fresca Vida." In Hong Kong, Monsanto is making a popular fortified soft drink called "Vlasoy." In the Rio de Janeiro state, companies are testing-marketing, "Saci," a caramel-flavored soybean beverage, which is 3 per cent protein and contains added vitamins.
In Colombia and Guatemala, the Quaker Gats Company is selling a protein-rich product called, "incaperna," a flour mixture made of corn, soy meal and cottonseed meal, which supplies adequate nutrition to poor Latin Americans at one-fifth the cost of powdered milk, one-fifth the cost of fresh milk and one-third the cost of eggs.
CURRENTLY, SWIFT & Company of Chicago is working on "... textured proteins—chewy soy derivatives made to mimic the appearance of F. Murphy, vice president in charge of
International Milling Company is developing a high-protein wheat food for Tunisia. Door-Oliver is making a cottonseed protein product for use in India, and an imitation product is marketing protein-enriched drinks, cow milk and foods under the trade name "Pronitro."
research, said that the market for these is under study in Brazil.
According to Nick Kotz, author of "Hunger in America," "... modern technology in the food industry has supported our diets by providing protein and vitamins most often missing from the diets of the malnourished and hungry poor. The American food industry also manufactured, for the U.S. Agriculture Department, CSM, a product called Bounty. Bounty supplies all the necessary nutrients and 70 per cent of minimum calorie intake for children. Poverty children throughout the world, but not in the United States, receive more pounds of this miraculous product than 67, at a cost of two cents per day per child.
Garcia said that the number of persons injured in traffic accidents was actually less compared to the same period last year.
"It IS THE POLICY of United States Agriculture Department officials to discourage development and use of synthetic or fortified foods which might represent competition for the American farmer."
Civil Rights Leaders Rap Nominees

"This really is pretty good since the number of cars has probably increased," he said.
He said that Iowa Street between 6th Street and 23rd Street was a bad area of heavy traffic, especially during the evening rush hour. The department he said, is especially looking for ways to eliminate traffic accidents in this area.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Supreme Court nominees H. WeinH. Reimhoven and Lewis F. Powell Jr. came under attack Tuesday by a conservative secretary Committee by civil rights advocates.
Clarence Mitchell, speaking for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said that with the nomination of Rehmann "the foot of racism is placed in the door of the temple of justice."
Raah and Mitchell took no stand on Powell. But Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., who spoke for the congressional Black Caucus, and Henry I, Marsh III, a black member, Danielmond, Va., city council member, said neither nominee warrants confirmation.
Rehnquist drew the heaviest criticism. Joseph L.庐朗 Jr. of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights called him "a laundered McCarthyite" and charged that he had been evasive when he appeared before the committee last week.
"As of 1961 when Mr. Powell left the board," said Conyers, "only 37 black students made up of a total of more than 23,000 were attained in all white- schools in Richmond."
CONVERS SAID that despite claims that Powell helped integrate Richmond's schools, "Lewis Powell's eight-year reign as chairman of the school board created and maintained a patently segregated school system."
Both Conyers and Marsh noted that Powell had acknowledged membership in the Country Club of Virginia and the Commonwealth Club of Richmond. Powell said Powell "never sought to alter their victories against the admission of blacks."
MARSH, representing the Old Dominion Bar Association of Virginia, a group of 60 to 70 black lawyers, that said Powell, while a member of the state board of education from 1961-68, had consistently attempted to thwart federal court prohibitions against blazing white parents who were sending their children to private schools.
The Justice Department, meanwhile, denied that Rehnquist is or ever was a member of the ultra-conservative John Birch Society. Committee sources said Rehnquist would submit a sworn denial later.
$15 a Semester
Committee to Recommend Raise in Activity Fee
By MARY WARD
Kansan Staff Writer
The Finance and Auditing Committee of the Student Senate decided to recommend to the senate at its meeting tonight that the activity fee be raised to $13 a semester. The committee will be presented as the committee's response to the activity fee opinion poll taken in October.
The action was as much a surprise to the members of the committee as it will probably be to most everyone else. The decision came after about two and a half hours of debate over the poll options, the committee believed. What the committee believes is an arbitrary method of funding student organizations and events on campus.
BILL O'NEILL, Ballwin, Mo. junior and treasurer of the Student Senate, said he thought the fee should be raised because there were so many organizations on campus that were more with money from activity fees than had been done when the fees were under administration control. He cited examples such as the Teacher-Course Survey, the National Center and other social action groups that are now being funded by the senate.
O'Neill said that the senate had larger operation costs than the old All Student Council because it is managing its own financial affairs.
The committee was skepical of relying solely on the results of the activity fee poll for several reasons. One was that approximately 18 per cent of the student body held a figure the members of the committee think was representative of the student body.
ANOTHER WAS THAT the first option, which was a continuation of the present system, received the most votes but did not win because of a significant difference between it and the second-most favored option, which would cut out student organizations, was small. The results of the poll showed students against continuation of the present system by two to one.
Although results of the poll indicated that a large number of students who voted wanted to cut the funding for student organizations, the committee members had not seen the potential they could have made that result almost inevitable. They said they thought the poll had a "built-in bias," which could effectively assure some activities of receiving a large number of votes and in the elimination of support for others.
THERE WERE ONLY three options that allowed for funding of student organizations, whereas all but one of the four options allowed for financial support of the Student Senate. Four of the eight options provided for some sort of subsidies for athletic admissions, and the committee thought that this was the best way to receive more votes than organizations.
It was argued that the members of clubs should have realized that funding to these organizations would be
and should have voted
Committee members said the organizations were valuable to the campus and it was important to keep the loss. It was suggested that the reason club members and other students did not vote was that they were satisfied with the committee and therefore did not realize the need to vote.
BECAUSE THEY thought student organizations needed to be funded to exist, the members agreed to recommend that the senate continue a mandatory student fee that would allow for the funding of student organizations.
The committee members recognized that the students who voted clearly wanted to continue financial support for University Theatre, Film Series and Concert Course and to subsidize athletic ticket prices.
The possibility of optional activity tickets for these events was discussed. The major argument for such a ticket was that students should pay for them, events should pay for them and others should not be forced to subsidize entertainment they did not attend. Those who disagreed said that the clubs were subversive, that campus events should also be subdivided.
HILL KUNZ, Leawood senior, said the people who attended events could be a part of the program.
"Call them the KU Fan Club if you want," he said.
He said he thought they represented as
definite an interest group as any other more-structured organization and therefore, they should be supported with money collected from mandatory fees
None were found and the committee came to the conclusion that there were too many beneficial activities on campus that need to be subsidized.
JERRY SLAUGHTER, Salina senior, said most students did not really understand that $24 of their tuition was used for class work. He also plainly told a special interest group they were not involved in or they opposed received money. He said he did not think that students really were too concerned with the way the activity fee was allocated.
The committee had attempted to find senate-subsidized activities that would not be missed if they were forced, because of their importance or burden or limit their services to the campus.
It was argued that activities such as the Concert Course and athletic events are beneficial to members of the University community and also help to give the University a favorable image. It was noted that University had probably received financial support because someone enjoyed watching a winning basketball team.
The problem then became not to stop or limit the funding of existing activities but to fund them more adequately and also to increase their capacity to refuse money because of a lack of funds.
Vietnam Faces Disaster If Aid Ends, Says Expert

The informant, who asked not to be identified, said its armed forces would have to be cut nearly in half at the risk of military setbacks. If not that, then the nation will have to try to ride out disastrous inflation, he said.
"I don't think they could survive it," in either case, the source said.
He said he could not be sure any of the $66 million earmarked for Vietnam in the foreign aid bill rejected by the Senate would be forthcoming. The Nikon ad campaign is trying to make sure that the aid money, as originally requested, are restored.
More than half of South Vietnam's current budget is financed by U.S. aid programs and 65 per cent of the budget goes to the military—mostly for salaries.

Verdict Soon On Gardenhire
The 12-member jury received the case late Tuesday afternoon and deliberated 90 minutes before deciding to retire for the evening.
Gardenhire is charged with aggravated battery in the shooting of Harry Snyder of Topea in front of Watson Library last December.
The court recessed at mid-morning Tuesday after both the prosecution and defense failed to reach a verdict.
