Prayer Amendment Fails By 28 Votes in House
WASHINGTON  (AP)—A proposed constitutional amendment to permit official praying in public schools died in the House Monday when backers fell 28 votes short of the two-thirds majority needed for approval.
The intense and often formal debate ended with 240 congressmen favoring and 162 opposing a resolution that would have limited the amendment by limiting the amendment into the Constitution:
"Nothing contained in this Constitution shall abridge the right of persons lawfully assembled, in any public building which is supported in whole or in part through the expenditure of public funds, to participate in voluntary prayer or meditation."
RECOMMENDING rejection of the resolution, House Speaker H. McCain colleagues that he
was 'not prepared to let the medling land of government, at any level, to any extent.'
But Rep. Chalmers P. Wylie, R-Ohio, chief sponsor of the proposed constitutional amendment, said a vast majority of the American people "want this kind of amendment . . . and the people House should allow the people to speak."
The amendment's backers said the measure was needed to restore the practice of prayers that had been widely suppressed by a Supreme Court ruling balltied it up to 18%.
BUT OPPONENTS, with major church organizations on their side, called it an attack on the religious freedom guarantee in the Bill of Rights.
The amendment was brought to the floor when Wily got a majority of the House—
Senate Panel to Make Fee Recommendation

The Finance and Auditing Committee of the Student Senate will present its recommendation on the activity fee requirements in October at the senate's meeting Wednesday.
Many of the people who have to evaluate, act upon or comment on the poll were distressed by the small number of students that voted. Many have said that the 18 per cent of the student body that voted was not representative. Therefore, it is important that all valid conclusions can be drawn from such a poll is the dominating attitude.
The options offered on the ballot and the number of votes they received were:
The wide choice of options is one reason that none of the eight options received a majority. The first option, which is a continuation of the present system, is one of the few options. However, it only received one-third of the total number of first-choice votes.
A. CONTINUATION of the present $24-a-year student activity fee to be allocated by the Senate for the Student Senate, the Senate Substitute, the Subsidies, University Theatre, Concert Course, University Film Series, intramurals and student organizations. Option A received 921 first-choice votes, Option B received 651 first-choice votes and 434 third-choice votes.
B. AN 818-A-VEAR student activity fee to be allocated by the senate for the Student Senate, Kansan subscriptions, University of California Theatre, Concert Course, University Film Series and intramurals. It would not include appropriations for student organizations. This option ranked second for students with a total of $292 for second choice and $290 for third choice.
C. A $12-A-YEAR student activity fee to be administered by the senate for the Student Senate, Kansan subscriptions, student memberships, and third-choice course, University Film Series and intramurals. This option does not include any allocation for athletic event admissions Option C received 546 first-choice votes and 546 second-choice votes and 283 third-choice votes.
D. A $4-A-YEAR student fee activity to

challenge votes.
E. A $3.50-A-YEAR student activity fee to be allocated by the senate for the Student Senate only. This was the least popular option among voting students, and it received only 28 first-choice votes, 11 first-choice votes and 66 third-choice votes.
F. A $12-A-YEAR student activity fee to be allocated by the senate for the Student Senate, Kansan subscriptions and student organizations. An optional activity ticket will be given to students from this sale would be appropriated on a formula basis to athletic event admissions, University Theatre, Concert Course, University Film Series and intramurals. This option received 225 first-choice votes, University choice-votes and 362 third-choice votes.
G. A $4-A-YEAR student activity fee to be allocated by the senate for Student Senate and Kansan subscriptions only. An additional three-year athletic event admissions, University Theatre, Concert Course, University Film Series and intramurals. This option received the third largest number of votes among all schools. The third-choice votes and 529 third-choice votes

Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. said he was distressed about the small number of students voting. He thought that maybe the way students were billed for tuition made them unaware that they were paying $24 for non-academic student education and that they would be cleared clearer on the billing form perhaps more students would have been interested.
Chalmers said that although a vote by only 3,500 students was not enough to conclusively say what all students wanted, certain trends could be seen. The poll indicated to him that students favored funding concerts, films, theatre, the school and government. That also indicated that students want low-cost tickets for athletic events. Chalmers said students "apparently oppose funding organizations."
If senate funding to organizations is cut, Chalmers said, the senate should make arrangements for a campus-wide fund

218 members—to sign a petition taking it out of the hands of the Judicial Committee. The matter had been heard.
Wylie's original amendment made reference to "nodenominational" prayer—a word that had been attacked by the amendment's opponents. Prior to final voting House amended the language to make it "voluntary prayer or meditation."
BUT EVENT THAT was denounced by the amendment's foes, who argued that the proposed constitutional change remained unacceptable to them.
The amendment was attacked by Rep. Robert F. Drinan, D-Mass., the only Roman Catholic priest in Congress, who contended "it will not enhance the free nature of marriage" but he enormously detrimental to the substance and spirit of religion in America."
REP. EMANUEL CELLER, D-N.Y., chairman of the Judiciary Committee, walked to the rostrum carrying a pile of books that he said were records of bearings held in 1964 on 35 different forms of prayer resolutions that generated 2,740 pages of testimony. He said witnesses denounced the unlawful religious denominations and included 349 legal experts and 30 heads of seminaries and divinity schools.
Rep. K. Gunn McKay, D-Utah, a Mormon, told the House: "My faith is my private business, it is the history of my people." He said the Constitution "is an inspired document" and that he was opposed to amending it in this fashion.
"These hearings convinced me and other members of the committee that appropriate language could not be devised without commitment and freedom of religion." Celler said.
Rep. Robert L. F. Sides, D-Fla., supporter of the amendment, said: "If you're one of those who plan to vote against prayer, I want to be around to hear you explain to your constituents your vote against praver to God."
Rep. John B. Anderson, R-III, chairman of the Republican Conference, said passage of the amendment "would engender an almost endless strife."
Majority Leader Hale Boggs, DL-Aa, said, "Thinking in the Bill of Rights, after all that our forbearers went through with us, what we should think a long time about."

Protein Sources Seen as Answer
Editor's Note: This is fourth story in a five part series on malnourishment and malnutrition.

"Although the extent of the protein problem is not known, all agree that this is a serious problem, becoming more difficult to manage with poverty. The oil seeds are of major importance."
The need for new means to eradicate hunger and malnutrition, especially debilitating protein malnutrition, has been highlighted by the fight against hunger. In the preceding story Auron Altschult, special assistant for nutrition improvement at the Department of Agriculture, suggested that the United States would now be available to fight protein deficiency.
potential for increasing protein supplies," Altschul said.
Revival of Foreign Aid Goes Before Congress
Fulbright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said there should be no resolution for continued foreign-aid spending until Congress had settled the current dispute over the program, rejected by the Senate 10 days ago.
Fulbright asked the Senate Appropriations Committee to deny the program any new funds until Congress asked a bill authorizing continued foreign aid.
"Of the main oilsseeds—cottonseed, peanuts, and soybeans, soybeans are the most promising. In its best form, soy protein concentrate, soybeans yield 60 to 70 per cent protein. In addition it contains amino acids, ash, and some vitamins," he said.
EFFORTS TO organize a House vote for sharp curbs on interim foreign-aid extension in a continuing resolution Tuesday were gaining almost no momentum. But no one was sure the House would not imprint curbs even without an organized effort.

WASHINGTON (AP)—Congress began a week of maneuvering on the revival of foreign aid Monday with House approval of interim extension expected Tuesday and Senate approval of a trimmed aid bill possible by Friday.
"There certainly will be a major effort to cut it," said House Speaker Carl Albert of Oklahoma. "What will happen I don't know."
Meanwhile, the State Department restated the administration's view that the present program should be continued on a permanent settlement. The permanent settlement could be worked out.
Department spokesman Charles W. Bray said it was doubtful that Congress could shape a new program by Nov. 15, and he said the department would virtually halt operations on that date.
ALTHOUGH THE SOYBEAN must be put through several processes to render it edible, these processes are not expensive and unlike most cereal-grain hybrids, many varieties of soybean have been cultivated. The soybeans are almost no food value, according to Ray N., Goldberg, author of "The Soybean Industry."
A 1967 article in Newsweek magazine stated that oil seed meal, if flavored with hickory smoke and salt, hydrated vegetable protein or other chemicals, the vinegar, must be added and other oilseds can pass for any kind of meat from bacon to beef or chicken."
Such "fish meat" production has already been started by one company for distribution in this country. It is aimed at the typical housewife, who likes the con-
According to N. W. Pirie, author of "Food Sources: Conventional and Novel," fish and the high protein products made from seafood are readily available sources of low-cost protein. The most widely used form is fish flour or fish protein concentrate (FPC). RESEARCH ON THE flour began in the 1930s, according to government reports, when it was first officially manufactured experimentally in the 1860s in the Philippines.
Initial drawbacks to fish flour were its color, odor and skepticism about its purity. Now, however, new processes have been developed that allow it colorless, odorless and completely pure.
According to government figures, half of the fish now caught in the United States are used to make fish four. Last year a mass aquarium was opened and began operating at New Bedford, Mass.
Most of what it produces is animal grade for use in the animal feed lots of the United States and other countries. A smaller amount is made to ship as emergency food relief躲住. A small amount will be available on the market in the United States.
The Illinois Biobin Corporation has been exporting fish flour since 1955 and in 1961 applied for FDA approval for distribution in the United States but approval was denied because the FDA called the flour "adultered and filthy."
However, in 1966 FPC was approved for consumption in the United States under certain conditions. Sale of FPC in the United States is permitted only in 1-pound packages, which makes it too expensive to bulk distribution does not apply to exports.
INTERIOR SECRETARY  Steward Udall reported in March 1967, "Now U.S. industry and government have developed a food-grade antimicrobial protein. It is a flour made by grinding up whole fish," and it can restore balance to the diet at a daily cost of only $1/2 cent per person. U.S. fisheries alone can sustain the global material to meet the needs of 300 million people."
Altschul said the advantages of FPC and its availability in this country were overwhelming. Huge amounts could be produced cheaply and it could be easily added to such things as bread and macaroni without taste.
Yeasts first came into use as main foodstuffs in Germany after World War I. In brouts or powdered form, they form a thick gel of amino acids and were a good form of protein.
In 1938 the League of Nations recommended the distribution of yeasts to the underruined. Since then yeas have grown abundantly and the livestock of nations able to buy them.
After drying and treating, the yeast to be used for food is in the form of a powder or small tasteless flakes. Even yeast intended for the making of bread is completely edible and can be used as a nutrient foodstuff.
KU Leaders Say Political Parties Have Differences
By BRAD AVERY Kansan Staff Writer
Some people think that many young people have given up or both the Democratic and Republican parties in some countries, but differences between them or because they feel powerless to influence them. This is reflected, some say, in the fact that people aged 18-21 registering as independent voters outnumber both Democratic and Republican groups.
"The Republican party stands for the established people, those who are already wealthy and have made it. I think the Democratic party stands for a more equitable redistribution of wealth, not by elevating the poor, but by elevating the poor," said Sam Ford, Independence junior and chairman of the Young Democrats.
However, there really is more than a small difference between the two, according to the chairman of the Collegiate Young Democrats and the chairman of the Collegiate Young Republicans.
KENNETH GALE, Glenbrown, Conn., graduate student and chairman of the Young Republicans, died on October 19.
party were not always to his liking but that he favored his party's outlook on the federal budget.
"In a sense the stereotypes are true." Gale said. "The people in the Republican party are more conservative to moderate than some students. But the political spectrum has shifted so much that what used to be liberal is now conservative. One image that doesn't fit, however, is the one that makes people think we are opposed to all change. Most people are willing to go along with social change."
"There is a much greater chance of the Democrats getting the nation into war. They tend to increase military spending at a faster rate. This is due to the fact that Republicans tend to be more constrained," he said.
Stereotypes have tended to develop about people who are Republicans and Democrats. Republicans are considered to be establishment oriented, conceived and interested in maintaining the status quo.
THE STEREOTYPE OF a Democrat is a liberal person who wants immediate change. Although Democrats have no choice, they must

"I think we are basically liberal. At least I don't know of any conservative Democrats in the group. I think we are young people with young ideas who are interested in changing the system within the

system. I think that's better than people who just don't care." Ford said.
Many students think that people who "just don't care" seem to be the dominant force at the University of Kansas this fall. No widespread interest in registering to vote has been shown, and both clubs reported reports in membership. Each group was very serious and hoped to find ways to solve it.
"I think the erosion of the two parties at all levels is a serious problem." Gale said, "because the two parties are so far apart."
FORD SAID HE THROUGH the problem went back to the identification of the two parties as one.
Gale, who disagreed himself as a liberal, said he did have disagreements with the policies of the party.
"When you say either party's name it turns people off. They don't see the difference because they haven't bothered to find it. Many look only at the top representation, and that is not always a true

"I strongly disagree with Nixon's Vietnam policy and I would support the McGovern-Haffield agreement," said President Obama, who presided that many young people give him credit for. For instance, I think he has done a great job of preserving peace in the Middle East, and he has made the first legitimate gestures to China." Gale
"I don't want a Daley running things at the convention again in '72. But I think with the rule changes this year it will be possible for us to get more young delegates to the convention. Three hundred inside would be better than 30,000 outside." Ford said.
Gale and Ford both said their main goals were to get people to register and to get young candidates to run for office. However, neither was optimistic about the chances for success.
"I think that potentially students could be a very significant factor in the 72 elections. But so far there is very little evidence that they will be. Historically, the further down you go in the age bracket, the less people vote, and that's discouraging," Gale said.
FORD SAID that both parties would have to put a great deal of effort into registering and educating students politically. He thought there would have to be a lot of work for a significant show of student political power.
"I think students think basically alike, and it will take an issue they can all identify with to bring them to a solution."
