Beer in Union Opposed By at Least Two Regents

By JOYCE DUNBAR Kansan Staff Writer
The issue of allowing beer in the Kansas Union, considered to have been settled by the Lawrence City Commission last summer, has prompted members of the Kansas Board of Regents voiced their opposition to the Union's beer license at a State Colleges Coordination meeting.
William Dannenbarger of Concordia and Elmer Jackson of Topeka said at the meeting, held in Topeka, that they would vote against the beer license if the issue were brought up at the Board of Regents meeting scheduled for today. They said they thought beer in the Union would hurt both University's position with the 1972

legislature and KU's image in the slate. One observer of the board said he would not attend the meeting, but board, also opposed the beer license. The board has nine members, but only seven are expected to attend today's meeting. A representative would prevent the Union's selling beer.
David Miller, Eudora senior and student body president, said he was surprised and impressed by his performance.
"We expected that the regents would allow the Union to sell beer," he said. "I thought the regents would leave policy decisions at home, and campas administrations and student bodies."
Miller had to leave Thursday's meeting early to return to KU to discuss the ac-
Mail Ballot Discussed
By GINNIE MICKE Kansan Staff Writer
Alternatives to the required quorum rule for voting in the University Senate and Council were debated Thursday at a public meeting to the representation of governing structures
The hearing was conducted by a sub-committee of the Organization and Administration Committee to discuss the issues raised by the council and proposals for change.
A mail ballot was endorsed by several faculty members because many faculty have schedules that make it impossible for them to attend meetings.
A student representative to the Senate, said that in addition to undermining the claim that the university is inconsistent with voting policy at the University. He said attendance at the meetings to hear all discussion and arguments was essential to intelligent thinking.
Another suggestion to avoid the quorum was to grant a vote when at least half of the required number of members was present, but no one else is unanimous, it would be considered valid.
Reconstitution of membership in the senate, proportionately based on the size of each school, was another possibility of that school. We thought that elections could be held within each school. This would then make the representatives responsible to a particular state.
Other members who favored this option thought that there should still be some differences.
A few members thought that enlarging the counell might cause as many problems as it could.
Of major concern of the council is the representation and relevance of issues at issue in the committee.
The Medical Center has submitted a specific proposal that would set up a senate and council at each campus. The separate senates would meet together on issues of concern to both. There were no problems. Center faculty present at the hearing.
Lee F. Young, professor of journalism and subcommittee chairman, said that the committee would report to the next council meeting. But he said he did not think the committee would be ready to make a definite proposal at that time.

One student came to the Student Senate forum on the activity fee poll Thursday night. The activity fee options were explained to Lane Bailey (right), Neodesh sophomore, by Dave Dillon, Hutchinson junior and chairman of the finance committee. All students were supposed to have received an announcement of the
The Union was granted a cereal malt beverage dealer's license at a meeting of the city commission Tuesday. The commission voted 3 to 2 on the beer issue.
The vote by the regents on the issue will probably be just as close. Miller said.
Faculty members' seeking public office but receiving no pay while in leave were also discussed by the College Coordinating Committee Thursday, Miller said.
The committee suggested that a faculty member should not have to take leave until he be assumed office. Discussion centered on whether the state would fund such persons who act for themselves rather than acting on behalf of an institution.
It was finally suggested that a leave of absence without pay should become effective at the time they assume office, rather than when they file for office.
The discussion was referred to a subcommittee by George Budd, head of the coordinating committee and president of Pittsburgh State College. The subcommittee consists of Dave Miller, KU student body president; Elmer Jackson, regent from Kansas City; and Faculty President Zed of Wichita State University.
Under this agreement, faculty administrators and other unclassified personnel may accept any public or political party office that does not involve a conflict of interest or require substantial time away from their regular duties.
The political activity policy that was being questioned was established in 1984.
Leave without salary is given to those who seek and hold public office that requires long periods away from their home, but whose membership in Congress and the Kansas Legislature, as well as state and county offices and appointments. Currently, the leave is granted to them not later than the official filing or appointment to the office.
The agreement includes membership in county commissions, school boards and planning groups, as well as county, state and national party committee memberships.

Lawrence in Race for All-America
... One of 18 Finalists .
Lawrence was one of 18 cities named
the All-Ameri- nces City Award Compe-
tition.
The announcement was made Thursday by William W. Scranton, president of the National Municipal League and former governor of Pennsylvania. The finalists were picked from approximately 100 candidates to become "community benefit through citizen action." Each year the awards are given for "significant improvements in community living brought about by 'citizen action.'" Major aspects of community life are covered in the competition such as government, housing, education, human resources, jobs, and urban renewal and community relations. Citizen involvement is stressed in the award's rules, rather than solutions to the community's problems. Winners will be announced early next year. Field investigations will be made in each city and all 18 finalists must present their cases for the award. Nominations are submitted to NLA-America City before a 12-month jury.
Rogers Says Taiwan Seat In U.N. Now More Secure

China remained required.
Roger's held Wednesday and Thursday with representatives of 15 countries. Those he spoke to Thursday included leaders from Nationalist China, Togo, Malta, El Salvador, Romania, the Hippies, Hungary, Israel and Costa Rica.
UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Secretary of State William P. Rogers and U.S. Ambassador George Bush indicated Thursday that a U.S.-China in the United Nations had improved.
"We have picked up some votes in the last two days," Rogers told an impromptu news conference outside his government suite at the Waldorf Towers.
Rogers also said Thursday the United States would reconsider its military
"The views he expressed were his own," Bush said. The ambassador said it seemed unlikely that the Nixon Administration was carrying any cuts in its U.N. centrations.
He said the "propects are reasonably good" for passage by the General Assembly of the resolution that would require a two-thirds majority rather than a simple majority, to expel a U.N. member.
Rogers and Bush have been carrying on intensive talks to gain allies for the pro-Taiwan position in advance of next week's China debate.
The United States wants to seat Communist China in the United Nations and give China's permanent seat in the Security to Peking, but at the same time permit Chinese Nationalists to remain in the world organization. A resolution from China and other countries would admit Communist China and expel Nationalist China.
"We are in reasonable shape for carrying out our policy," Bush told a luncheon meeting of the U.N. government organization. "We think we have a winning position."
Bush disassociated himself from statements of Sen. L. Jack冀昌, C-R.N.Y., that the United States should reduce foreign aid to Nations of Nations in Nationalist China is expelled.
commitments to Israel because of a new Soviet promise of more military aid to
A U.S. official said afterward the Soviet promises had prompted an "active" review of the Israeli request for more warrants and the review would begin promptly.
Eban had said earlier the Soviet promises to Egypt made resumption of the U.S. warplane shipments necessary. It happened last July at the expiration of a contract.
Rogers discussed U.S. aid policy outside his New York hotel suite after an hour's conference with the Israeli foreign minister, Abba Eban.
The Israelis especially want more Phantom jet fighter bombers.
Emerging from the conference, Ebani said he had put "great emphasis" on Israel's request for more planes. He said a Soviet-Egyptian communique issued in Moscow Wednesday night said the two sides agreed "on measures aimed at further strengthening the military might of Egypt."
In the Middle East, Eban said, "the balance is such that it can only be maintained if shipments of American aircraft to Israel are resumed."
When Rogers came out of his Walderf Downters suite, he also talked about the Soviet pledge to "strengthen the military might of Egypt."
"In view of that," he said, "we will have to carefully consider our position, particularly in the light of President Nixon's commitment when he said that the military balance in the Middle East will not change."
The U.S. official drew a connection between U.S. military aid to Israel and U.S. efforts to arrange an Egyptian-Israeli interim agreement on reopening the Suez Canal as a step toward a general settlement.
The interim agreement now being discussed would involve an Israeli military withdrawal from the canal, an Egyptian crossing of the canal to clear and open it and various commitments to cease-fire, peace and freedom of navigation.
Leaders in government, business and education will serve on the jury, which will be directed by Dr. George Gallup, chairman of the League's Council.
Eight citizens from Lawrence, including Charlecort E. Laurence Chalmer's Jr., will go to Atlanta in November to present the city's case to the jury.
Lawrence's application showed that more than 500 residents had actively participated in community workshops and training, dealing with current community problems.

Other projects that were mentioned included the recruitment of more minority teachers for public schools, and a one-half per cent sales tax increase which would be used to hire additional policemen and firemen.

Woman Breaks Tradition By Joining Law Faculty
By KATHY DOLAN
Kansan Staff Writer
Mrs. Wheeler came to KU in mid-June after graduation from Stanford University.
A new page in the University of Kansas Law School history was written this year when Mrs. Louise Wheeler became the first woman faculty member.
Mrs. Wheeler's teaching responsibilities are to operate the Legal Aid Office, a hybrid organization formed by the KU Law School.
While attending Stanford, Mrs. Wheeler spent her summers working in programs which gave her orientation into the legal aid field.
Mrs. Wheeler spent her first summer working for the Justice Department in the Civil Rights Division. Her second summer was working for the NAACP Legal Group fund.
Mrs. Wheeler said the legal aid program was patterned along the same lines as the one in her school district.
Law students are given three units of credit a semester for legal aid work but they must stay in the program one year, she said.
Last spring, Mrs. Wheeler said, the faculty of the law school decided to limit the number of students in the Legal Aid program to 20, each being a third year student.
Mrs. Wheeler said this presented a problem because many more students were not in school.
Mrs. Wheeler chose the 20 students by having each applicant submit a paragraph of their opinions.
The two aims of the legal aid program, Mrs. Wheeler said, are to educate the students and to provide a service to the community.
The legal aid program is funded by the Douglas County Bar Association, the Student Bar Association and the Council on Professional Responsibility foundation.
The final section is misdemeanor
The Haskell branch, not funded by the Douglas County Bar Association, was formed to help the Haskell students with their legal problems.
Mrs. Wheeler has jurisdiction over the entire legal aid program, which is divided into four parts.
Mrs. Wheeler said that for people to qualify for legal help they must be on welfare, unemployed or part-time employed students,
The Douglas County Legal Aid Society, the largest program, is staffed by interns and handles civil cases such as divorce litigation or landlord problems.
program, where students do misdemeanor work on their own.
The agency does not handle criminal cases or fee generating cases, she said.
Mrs. Wheeler said that some day she hopes graduate students in social welfare will be integrated into the program.
Kissinger To Leave For Peking
WASHINGTON (AP)—Henry A. Kissinger, the top White House foreign policy expert, will leave for Peking Saturday to make final arrangements for President Nixon's journey to mainland China.
Press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler, announcing Kissinger's travel plans Thursday, said the presidential assistant General John Koehler in California, Hawaii, Guam and Sanbahai.
Although Zeiler said, "I don't want to suggest anything to you about the President's trip," he believed that would likely if not exactly, parallel the Nixon ticker.
As preparations for the President's trip went forward, his domestic economic policies struck sparks in of office and press controversy said in a broadcast monitored in Tokyo that Nixon's Phase 2 economic plan meant "in his opinion the way to solve all problems is to take action."
The broadcast said U.S. inflation was "basicly a war by the rules of 'aggressive' war by the rulers' classes, and particularly the unleashing and expansion the war of aggression in
Kissinger will be accompanied by a State Department representative and eight White House specialists in such fields as communications and presidential protection. The party, which also will include a small support staff, will return to Washington via Anchorage, Alaska, on or about Oct. 25.
