City Commission Issues Beer License to Union
By TUULA TOSSAVAINEN
Koncon Staff Writer
A cereal malt beverage license was issued to the Kansas Union by the City Commission.
For the second time the beer license was considered by the commission and, the same uncertainty that was cause for deferring the issue last week was reflected in the voting results—three commissioners had favor of the issue and two were against it.
An explanatory amendment was attached to the decision stating that the commission required that a state's beverage license because state laws require the commission to issue it to any qualified applicant, as was the Union, regarding the commissioners about the issue.
Final approval of the commission's decision must be made by the Board of Regents and University administration officials.
The commissioners that voted for issuing the license were Mayor J. R.
Pulliam, Jack Rose and Nancy Hambleton.
"HE WAD an opinion of our attorney Milton Allen that the application was in order and that the applicant met all requirements and that wasrong," Rose said. "I have no personal opinion whether you should be beer on the campus or not."
Mrs. Hambleton said, "The building filled the requirements and so did the management and the application, so the city commission had to grant the license." She said many people thought the commission should also have the power to decide on the moral basis of the issue, but it was not only the rights and duties it possessed.
Palliam said he thought the vote spoke for itself. "It was a vote that the Kansas Union should have a cereal malt beverage license," he said. "The Board of Regents and the University administration are to decide whether beer will be served in the Union. Actually this is only a routine matter for the City Commission. We issue
many cereal malt beverage licenses during a year."
On the opposition side, John Ermick said it will the responsibility of the Board to resolve the matter.
"Since they are reported to meet on Friday, I made the motion to defer this meeting."
THAT MOTION, seconded by Charles Fisher, was defeated 2 to 3.
Fisher said he did not believe the issue was in the City Commission's jurisdiction. The Union has not before conformed to the code of Lawrence, he said. The Union has given any approval alley is in operation without any approval of the City Commission, Fisher said.
Outside opposition came from the Rev. Richard Taylor of the Kansas United Dry Forces. Taylor appeared before the commissioners with a copy of the application and pointed out what he said were missing communal addresses. He told the commissioners that collection was written and urged the commissioners to leave the issue to the Kansas Legislature.
Nixon to Make Trip To Moscow in May
The President read a statement at noon which was released at the same time in Moorhead.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Nixon announced Tuesday he would go to Moscow in late May to meet with top Soviet leaders because there exists now "a possibility of making significant progress" in the nuclear or war differences between the superpowers.
That statement said: "President Nixon and the Soviet leaders will review all major issues, with a view toward further integration of the world and enhancing the prospects of world peace."
In answer to a question, Nixon explained, "I do not believe in having summit meetings simply for the purpose of having a meeting. I think that tends to be true. It raises high hopes that are then dashed . . . We are not making that mistake."
Nixon took pains to explain that there was no connection between the projected Moscow trip and his proposed journey to Communist China. The White House said the two trips would be separated "by a bridge of time."
In what appeared to be an effort to avert criticism, Nixon said a few hours after he announced the Moscow visit that it should not be interpreted as meaning that the United States intends to be less concerned about its national strength.
No Funds for Film Makers Proposed
The Finance and Auditing Committee decided Tuesday night to recommend that the Student Senate refuse to fund the KU because it would have requested $15,000 but indicated that the request was inflated to give committee members an idea of the costs involved. The group's representative said that the group would be willing to settle for much
According to Dave Dillon, committee chairman, the primary reason for the committee's negative response was the lack of a budget for the Film Makers should lie with the University. One of the proposed functions of the group is to work regularly with office of University Relations and development and the State Geological Survey.
"The Student Activity Fee should not be a catch-all to fund things the University can't afford," said Bill O'Neill, senate treasurer.
"WE WANT PEACE in the world; we
want a reduction of tensions in the
world; we want a peace."
The Film Makers' request was the last one the Finance and Auditing Committee will consider unless a request is presented in a bill. The senate treasurer's office will prepare formal bills for those organizations that wish to request funding.
But, the President continued, "Unless and until we have mutual agreements ... among the great powers ... the United States must maintain its defense at adenate levels."
Initial response in Congress to the President's announcement was favorable.
Another function of the Film Makers would be the production of films for student organizations. Members of the committee said money to purchase the films and also to pay through the Student Senate and costs to the学院 could reach considerable amounts.
What makes the current situation favorable for a meeting, Nixon said, is that during the past two and a half years, the Iraq war had been made in Soviet-U.S. negotiations.
"We have had a treaty with regard to the seabeds. We have had one with regard to biological weapons. We have had an agreement coming out of the SALT Strategic Arms Limitation Talks with regard to the hotline and accidental war. And, of course, most important of all—and we have had a treaty with regard to them, for led us to conclude that now was the time for a summit meeting—we have had an agreement on Berlin."
Nixon was referring to the treaty signed last month by the United States, the Soviet Union, Great Britain and France which are concerning Berlin and the two Germanys.
A dispute between Taylor and City Atty. Milton Allen ended with Allen's assuring the commission that the application was legally sufficient.
The Rev. Taylor said he would consider asking Aten, Gen, Vern Miller to take a look at the licensing for a possible illegality.
"I count heavily on the Union board and the management to assist and help me in handling this new situation," Burge said. "We do not want to lose the license in the district by selling beer to under-aged people. Our duty is that the Union is capable to take care of this."
A letter from Cancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr, was read to the commission. The letter said that University regulation on consumption of cereal malt beverages would be changed, if the issue passed. Therefore, he said, the commission should not accept the issue.
FRANK BURGE, Union director, said approval of the City Commission was only one step in the procedure. Beer will not go on sale in the Union before all authorities have given their approval. Burge said. He asked whether he would dispense beer will take some time, he said.
Beer will be available to persons 18 and older in the Prairie Room, the Hawk's Nest and also in certain areas for special functions. Burge said.
Another item on the agenda, the city commission's consideration of its response to the Menninger police-community trial data, was delayed until Nov. 2, reopening.
Consideration was delayed because the chairman of the committee that conducted

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Nixon said Tuesday he would announce his selections for the two Supreme Court vacancies next week.
Nixon Considering Byrd, 2 Women for Court Jobs
He said Sen. Robert C. Byrd, conservative Democrat from West Virginia, and at least two women were on the list of those being considered.
Nixon did not identify the women, nor did he disclose how many other names were on the list. But a White House aide named Thomas Dugard, the several hundred suggested names to 10 or 12.
Sources said that other members of Congress, including Republican Sens, Robert Griffin of Michigan and Howard Baker of Tennessee, also had been discussed for the vacancies. The vacancies were created by the retirements last month of the Justice Hugo L. Black and Justice John M. Harlan.
The nominations, if approved by the Senate, will bring to four the number of justices Nixon has placed on the nine-member court since taking office. Two other Nixon nominees were rejected by the Senate.

His approved selections were Chief Justice Warren Burger and Justice Harry Blackman. On Sept. 25 Nixon said that the "most important qualification" of his future nominees was that they "share the general judicial philosophy and approach of the two men on the court whom I previously have appointed."
