Congress to deal with child porn, reactor
WASHINGTON (AP) -The Senate this week takes up a bill to curb child pornography, and the House, facing a heavy calendar, is heading for another joust with President Jimmy Carter over the nation's nuclear breeder reactor project.
Meanwhile, Carter's energy program aims at like a smoking hulk on the Senate sidelines when the Senate Finance Committee tries to approve the package of oil and natural gas taxes.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, continuing hearings on the Panama Canal treaties, is calling 34 witnesses. Former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and Dean Rusk are expected to testify toward the end of the week.
Senate Judiciary Committee members open hearings on Thursday on Carter's nomination of U.S. District Judge Frank M. Johnson, Jr. of Alabama to the FBI.
THE SENATE pornography bill is designed to allow federal action against the sexual exploitation of children. The bill would make it a federal crime to use children younger than 16 in the production of pornographic material on state line states for prostitution. Penalties would range up to a $15,000 fine and 15 years in prison.
The House has passed its own version of the legislation, and the chief concern of both houses is drafting a bill to withstand expected constitutional challenges in court.
On the nuclear breeder reactor program, Carter had urged Congress to scrap the project at Clinch River, Tenn., but a conference committee wants to keep the project roughly on schedule without starting construction.
The House must deal with an appropriations bill that contains $150 million for the program. House members could reject the appropriation and kill the project, but that is unlikely because the breeder was housed by wide margins in earlier floor tests.
OTHER LEGISLATION before the House includes bills which would create $200 million fund to compensate for oil spill damages; levy a small fee on barge
operators for waterway maintenance; and centralize the operation of the House itself under an administrator to be named by the speaker.
Last week the Senate Finance Committee killed Carter's proposed tax package for oil companies. The measure has taxes to discourage consumption and prod industry to use as much coal as possible. The tax on crude oil also would have raised the price of a gallon of gasoline by seven cents.
Now the committee has decided to try to develop an alternative. Several members are plugging for a system of oil industry certification, and calling for a $3 a barrel tax credit on shale oil.
$22 billion tax reduction likely in Carter plan
THURMONT, Md. (UPI)—The tax package President Jimmy Carter plans to submit to Congress is most likely to include a tax cut totaling $2 billion for individuals and businesses, an administration source said yesterday.
The source said the reduction was ex-
pressed in the billion for the public and
$2 billion for business.
"It's impossible to know for certain what all the specifies will be at this point," the source said. "But the over all net tax reductions most likely will be around £23."
It is the highest tax cut figure mentioned yet, in the continuing debate over what
should go into the tax reform package
Carter promised when he was running for
the presidency.
Although the $22 billion total has been mentioned previously, options circulated two weeks ago set the likely figure at from $17 billion to $18 billion.
CARTER SPENT the Columbus Day week at Camp David working on his tax
"He's got a batch of papers with him and just about all of it tells with taxes," a White House official said.
Carter has said his proposals would lead to substantial reductions for taxpayers, and Treasury Secretary Michael Blumenthal said Friday chances of a tax cut next year
were more possible now than they were a few months ago.
But Blumenthal also has said a tax cut would be the sweetener in a tax package likely to reduce benefits used by many middle-class taxpayers.
Carter also is expected to try to plug loopholes used by the business community.
THE ONLY ITEM on Carter's agenda today is a meeting with senior advisers to
discuss his tax decisions and the strategy necessary to gain congressional approval.
In another area, the White House is giving preliminary consideration to the creation of a Cabinet-level Department of Economic Development, which would coordinate urban financial development programs now underway in many segments such as commerce, labor and housing.
Carter has said the unemployment problem, which is particularly severe among city thieves, could only be resolved through the health of the nation's cities was restored.
The President, who left Washington
Friday, will return to the White House this
month.
Paper questions Georgia federal funds report
ATLANTA (AP)—A report that former Budget Director Bert Lance's National Bank of Georgia received an unusually large amount of federal deposits this year might be misleading. The Atlanta Commission has quoted federal officials as saving.
The newspaper also reported in today's news that the company having anything to do with each deposit.
The original report, printed and distributed to other newspapers by Newsday, the Long Island, N.Y. paper, said the bank held $1,366,000 in federal savings as
of March 31, much of the money deposited since Lance became budget director last January. The bank reported $1,062,200 in such funds as of June 30, the paper said.
THE STORY also said the 63 other national banks in Georgia had combined federal savings deposits of $39,000 as of March 31.
The Newsday story might be misleading,

Fair reflects IHP values
By NANCY DRESSLER
Staff Writer
Once a year, an ordinary pasture west of Lawrence is transformed into the setting of a country fair, complete with folk music, homemade apple pie and fresh-pressed
The clerk for the U.S. District Court in northern Georgia, Ben Carter, said records show slightly more than $1 million in federal funds deposited in the bank, but he added that only $4,610 of that money was in what he considered savings accounts.
Yankee Tank Fair gets its name from a creek that flows by the pasture and once was used by Yankee soldiers to water their horses, according to Jane Topping Combest, owner of Yankee Tank Farm and a former academic adviser to IHP.
About 500 visitors Saturday walked through a white wood archway, decorated with live flowers and oak leaves, to find themselves at the fourth annual Yankee Tank Fair, an event sponsored by the Integrated Humanities Program (HP!)
About $700 raised from the sale of food and crafts at the fair will go to the Friends of the Humanities Association, a group of about 200 former HIP students, Cupp said, and also who need to publicize the program and HIP students planning to go to Ireland in December.
The University of Kansas administration recently decided not to sponsor the annual IHP foreign trip this year. Although the university had planned to send its trips abroad, it withdrew its support for this winter's scheduled trip to Ireland, saying that it could not support all foreign study programs and that the IHP two-week internship was no longer an opportunity for academic experience.[14]
THE FAIR, A joint idea of Combest and Suzanne Cupp, assistant to the IHP director, is an example of the program's emphasis on the traditional life, Cupp said in which students are encouraged to make and do things by hand.
RUN BY CUREENT and former IHP students, Yank Tank Fair has a variety of homemade and foreign foods and carnival events and craft displays.
This year's fair included hot apple pie,
apple fritters and apple cider, all made
from more than 50 bushels of apples donated
to students. Student T愚, Foster who,

Fairgoers also were treated to foreign foods such as gazoapo, a Spanish soup made by adding vegetables to a cold broth, and souvlaki, a Greek meat dish made of chunks of meat marinated for two days in spices and then barbecued on small sticks.
AMIDST TIE assortment of foods were tables covered with red-checkered cloths that displayed books and crafts for sale. Songbooks, cookbooks, calendars and even tie soap could be purchased. Another table was covered with patterned buttons donated for sale by students and families.
Throughout the afternoon, children,
families and students wandered among the
displays. A pair of folk singers entertained

A pie-eating contest and a tug of war were followed by dancing to the music of a live performance.
"I KNOW NOTHING about it," the former attorney said. "I didn't have anything to do with the placement of any federal funds that was not within my pariew."
HIP director Dennis Quinn said the fair was an outgrowth of the academic program, a four-semester study that concentrates on the great works of Western Civilization.
Sororities elect Panhellenic officers
The new officers are: president, Katie Rhoads, Leaward junior, Alpha Delta Pri, membership chairman, Vicki Vincent, chairman, Kim Burke, chairman, Karry Burke, Leawed sophomore, Pi Beta Pi; pledge affairs chairman, Janet Lively Kansas City, Kan., junior, Alpha Gamma Delta; and secretary-county junior, Alpha Chi Omega, Garden City junior, Alpha Chi Omega.
Student directories due Oct.20
Panhellenic Association officers for 1977-78 were elected last night by the president of the 12 Panhellenic sororites and the organization's current officers.
This year's Student Telephone Directories are expected to be available to students by Oct. 20, according to Robin Evereola, of publications for University Relations.
Eversole said the telephone listings of students, faculty and staff at the Lawrence and Kansas City campuses had been submitted to the company that printed them and the company was under contract to the directories within 20 working days.
Eversole said compiling the listings and placing those listings on computer tape had smoothly this year, unlike last year when the directories came out more than half a month earlier.
Eversole also said that any problems with late directories this year would be the responsibility of the company, Napco National Advertising Company.
The problem last year, Eversone said, was difficulty with the computer taps at KU.
Nurses give Dykes gift of appreciation
Nurses at the KU Medical Center last week gave Chancellor Archie Dykes a plaque expressing their thanks for Dykes' support of nursing.
Dykes received the plaque during ceremonies that marked Nurses Recognition Day at the Med Center. About 600 people attended the ceremonies.

he would not miss the Octogata-
for anything.
"It's a good way for people to get together," he said.
Singly and in groups, the riders began arriving back at the gazebo about 3 in the afternoon. A polka band and a keg of beer greeted them on their arrival.
"The ride's a challenge," she said. "You can't cancel, but you proud I was when I hit the ride last year."
"The magnitude of checking jobs of this size make it humanly impossible to catch everything, though we keep trying," Ossman said. "Checking the plans for an extra week than having to go and rework something that was inadvertently misplaced."
He said the final responsibility for ensuring the quality of the projects and holding the contractors to the completion dates rested with the state architect.
MARY HEDBLOM, Lawrence graduate student, rested on the grass overlooking the lake and warm up with a bowl of the stew.
Ossman said he thought the problems were being solved and only normal problems involved in construction remained.
Gene Wee, the M.I. Oread Bicycle Club member who organized the event, said some people thought it was the best Octoginta since the ride was started in 1969.
From page one
OSSMAN SAID that there had been many problems in construction at the Med Center but that "what may be a problem today won't be a problem tomorrow.
But he added that there would have to be a complete updating on the completion date of the clinical facilities project and that he was not sure when it could be finished.
"After that it runs right down the chain—the associate architect, the inspectors on the roof."
"In a construction project of any size at all you have differences of opinion," he said. "But when dollars are involved, you'd be surprised at how those opinions jell."
He said he had ordered that all mail in his office go through a central desk so he could audit all incoming and outcoming mail. Testimony before the interim committee

Earlier this year the interim House Ways and Means Committee urged state officials to file suit against the Kansas City, Kan., firm of Marshall and Brown-Sidrowicz, the project architects, for alleged problems and contradictions of the new basic sciences and clinical feasion projects at the Med Center.
Ossman said he was not seeking the job.

Ossman, who was appointed temporarily until a permanent replacement could be found, said he did not know when a permanent director would take office.
Cyclists brave chilly day for annual Octoginta ride
Riders, ages 13-58, gathered at the South Park gazebo where the ride began. Lawrence police escorted them down Massachusetts and New Hampshire Streets
This year's Octopinta was an 89-mile pleasure ride from Lawrence, through the Wakara River River Valley, to Pomona Lake and back to Lawrence by law of Lone Star Land.
It was a chilly 37 degrees at 7 yesterday morning, but that didn't stop about 150 bicyclists from riding in the annual Octo-
onta, sponsored by the M.I. Oread Bicycle
They began to arrive at Pomona Lake about 10 a.m., where steaming pots of water the stewed wort were poured.
From there, the bicyclists headed for the country and rode past fields of milo and
cactus.
