Fraternity Wants to Be Sure of Taylor Tickets
Members of Sigma Phi Epsilon have perhaps achieved the ultimate in determination. They have been waiting at the Union on January 13: 1:00 a.m. Tuesday to buy tickets to the James Taylor concert Oct. 15. The fraternity plans to buy about 150 tickets.

Senate Passes Draft Bill
WASHINGTON (AP)—After months of delay the Senate passed and sent to the White House Tuesday the bill extending the military draft until June 23, 1973.
Passage of the bill by a vote of 55 to 30 came with surprising sadness after the Senate by just one vote had invoked its rule to limit debate on the measure.
Antifilibuster Rule Invoked
President Nixon's signature, expected promptly, will enable the Selective Service System to resume draft inceptions halted when the old law expired last June 30.
His action leaves doubt about whether the increase can be granted at the date specified or will have to be deferred until after the freeze ends Nov. 14.
Another major section of the legislation calls for a $2.4 billion military pay increase intended to improve chances for all-volunteer armed forces by mid-1973.
That provision was agreed to as a compromise by Senate-House conferences after the House refused to accept the Senate's amendment by Majority Leader Tom Mansfield. D-Mont, that called for total manpower in the next nine months if U.S. prisoners were freed.
THE SENATE'S action was a major victory for the President and a defeat for antiwar senators who had held out for something stronger than the measure's call on Nixon to negotiate an end to the Indochina war as quickly as possible.
A new effort is now expected to attach that proposal to the $21 billion military procurement authorization bill, on which it will be followed following passage of the draft measure.
Under the compromise reached by the House-Senate conferences, the effective date for compromise was August 15. The compromise—not subject to amendment from the Senate floor—was adopted by the conferences and approved by the House well before the 90-day wage price freeze on Aug. 15.
The end of the draft debate, which has occupied more than half of the Senate's time since early May, came within minutes after proponents of the draft
Kansas Union to Sell 3.2 Beer If City OK's License Application
By GAYLE TRIGG
Kansan Staff Writer
If the application is approved, Frank Burge, union manager, plans to make 3.2 per cent beer available in some of the building's food service areas soon.
The Kansas Union operating board has submitted an application for a cereal malt beverage license to City Manager Buford Watson for preliminary approval. It is likely that the application will come before the City Commission on Oct. 5.
"We definitely will not have a tavern type operation," Burge said. "Both the staff and customers are carefully regulated. Almost all of our requests for beer have come from our food service customers, and it is only in connection with food service that we meet our demands."
Burge pointed out that Kansas law prohibits the serving of wines and other alcoholic beverages in public places and on any state property. According to a recent ruling by Attorney General Vern Miller, beverages with 3.2 per cent or less alcohol content are not subject to the statutory prohibition.
He said that initially the beer service would be available only in the Prairie Room and the Hawk's Nest and, for special events, in catering rooms of the Union.
Burge said he thought that beer sales would not make a significant change in the industry.
"Nationwide," he said, "beer in student union buildings rates third choice among the available beverages, with cold soft drinks ranking first and hot coffee
second."
U.S. Confident on 2-Chinas
Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. said after last week's board of Regents meeting that he had discussed the matter informally with most of the regents, but that the issue was not given formal board consideration. Most of the regents, Chalmers said, thought the matter was one to be handled internally by the administration of each state college or university, and each campus, they said, and each administrator must take responsibility for making the appropriate decisions.
Chalmers said that of the six state colleges and universities, he expected Wichita State University to be the next to apply for a license. In the past, there have been active students efforts to acquire beer on the WSU campus. Each school, he said, will have to determine the desires of its student body.
THE UNION OPERATING Board has studied the question of beer sales for more than a decade. The board investigated union building operations in several other states where beer sales are permitted. The board has recommended that sales be authorized in the Kansas

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP)—The States expressed "overflowing" confidence of success in seating both NASA and National Academy assembly opened its 26th session Tuesday.
The United States said it had rounded up a dozen sponsors for two resolutions aimed at seating Communist China in the General Assembly and on the Security Council, and retaining Nationalist China's place in the Assembly. Delegation spokesman said the proposals would be put forth this week.

One of the regents who was not present, Henry Bubb of Topeka, has not only supported the idea, but has suggested that they should be for beer be installed in residence halls.
Although the bill includes provision for a military pay boost, the goal of an all-volunteer army was called impossible under current conditions by a general in charge. The Pentagon acknowledges it first tried to lensor Lt. Gen. George F. Soyfried; the said:
"Although we're going to try and do our best level, we are not going to make it, I do not believe, in that time that has been or in us to do this. That's just too short a time."
"We're going to try to do it, but a lot more support and a lot more help and understanding has to come about before we could ever make that."
As the defeated leaders of the campaign to delay the draft, Sess. Mike Gravel, D-Alaska, and Alan Cranton, D-Caiff, moved right into the vote on the bill itself.
TUESDAY'S ACTION on the draft bill, although not expected by Senate leaders until Thursday at the earliest, had been anticipated since last Thursday's 47.36 vote in which the Senate refused to send the draft bill back to conference.
The measure includes a $2.4 billion military pay raise, authorizes President Nixon to drop undergraduate student deferments starting with those entering college this fall, extends procedural rights of draftees before their local boards and limits inductions to 130,000 this year and 140,000 next year.
Pentagon officials have said that when the draft was renewed about 20,000 men would be called up for duty during the rest of the year, bringing the total number of

U.S. Bombs North Vietnam
SAIGON (AP) — An armada of 250 U.S. planes swarmed over North Vietnam Tuesday and delivered one of the heaviest raids in the North in the past three years.
The supersonic jets flew through aircraft fire to bomb surface-to-air missile and gun sites, supply and truck in a six-hour attack from dayly raid to noon.
The U.S. Command said fighter-bombers launched 200 bombing strikes in North Vietnam's southern pandhane, concentrating on an area from the demilitarized zone to about 35 miles north of it.
About 50 other aircraft supported the strikes. These included jett fighters flying protective cover, electronic planes to jam the radar guidance systems of antiaircraft guns and SAM missiles, rescue planes and helicopters, and damage planes to take photos of bomb damage.
The U.S. Command said all of the American planes returned safely to their bases in South Vietnam and Thailand. No assessment of damage to the North Vietnamese positions was readily available, the command said.
Vietnamese troop and supply buildup had been reported recently just north of the

SAN RAFELA, Calif. (AP)—The bullet that killed Soledad Brother George Jackson at San Quentin prison struck him in the back, rather than in the head, passed upward through his body and exited at the top of his skull, a pathologist's autopsy report that was released Tuesday concluded.
The conclusion conflicts with a coroner's report issued Aug. 23, two days after the black militant and author was slain in official officials said was an escape attempt.
Jackson Killed from Back Autopsy Report Concludes
The first report, was described when it was released as preliminary by Marin County Coroner Donovan O. Cooke. It said the skull entered the skill and exited from the back.
San Quentin Warden Louis S. Nelson said in an interview Tuesday that the bullet's trajectory can be explained by the tower guard's statement that Jackson was hit as he ran in a crowded position with his back to the tower.
Nelson said he categorically denies allegations by some of Jackson's
supporters that the shooting took place as the convict was lying down.
In the final autopsy report released by Cooke, pathologist John Manwaring said, "Ballistic consultation confirms that the entry wound was located in the mid back and the exit is through the top of the skull and is evidenced by the outward coning of the skull of the calcarium." The calcarium is a demeske portion of the skull.
Cooke said no conclusion had been reached about the position of the body.
But he said, "If he was flat on the ground he could have been shot that way through."
He said Jackson was also struck by a balcony on the inside of his left ankle. The man was taken to the hospital.
Joseph O'Brien, San Quentin information officer, said prison officials still maintained that Jackson was killed by a bullet fired from one of two 20-foot-high guard towers. Three guards, two white inmates and Jackson died in the violence.
