U.S., Panama initial treaty
WASHINGTON (UPI) -U.S. and Panamanian negotiators initialized yesterday the final texts of the Panama Canal treaties, 62-page documents which were released publicly for the first time but contained no major surprises.
The formal initialing process was conducted at the State Department and means there can be no further changes in the treaty. In two documents compriming the treaty,
The basic document, the Panama Canal Treaty, acknowledges that Panama has sovereignty over its own territory and wipes out language in the existing 1960 treaty said the Canal Board should be treated "as if" it were sovereign U.S. territory.
It gives the United States the right to "manage, operate and maintain" the Canal until the treaties terminate on Dec. 31, 1999. After that date, Pamaka takes
IT ALSO PROVIDES that:
The canal will be run by a commission, consisting of five Americans and four Panamanians. Until 1990, the
chief administrator of the canal will be an American. After that, a Panamanian will take over the job.
- Panama and the United States agree to protect and defend the canal and to "meet the danger" which could threaten it. Armed forces of both countries will form a combined board to coordinate military activities.
-U.S. employees of the canal commission will be banned from any political activities in Panama. The United States will have primary criminal jurisdiction over its citizens during the transition period.

The entire Canal Zone will be under the flag of Panama, but the U.S. flag "may be displayed, together with the flag of the Republic of Panama" at commission headquarters and "at other places and on some occasions" with approval from the Panamanian government.
goes to the canal — Vessels passing through the canal will be exempt from any taxes or fees levied by the Republic of Panama, but will have to pay the usual canal tolls.
The two countries will study the possibility of a new sea-level canal, but Panama will have a veto over its construction because it uses the nuclear mutating devices.
THE SECOND DOCUMENT, the Permanent Neutrality and Operation of the Canal, promises the canal will be open and neutral "in time of peace and in crisis."
Under it, the two countries agree the continued neutrality of the canal is its best protection against any hostile act, and promise to work with the United States to neutral status. The neutrality treaty will be signed by "all states of the world."
Although provisions of the treaty package had previously been made public, yesterday was the first time the final text was released. Initiation of the text bears no force of law, but frees it from that it so no longer can be modified.

The treaties still must be signed by leaders of both nations today and ratified by the Senate.
Assembly disputes course prerequisites
Prerequisite requirements for upper-level courses in the anthropology department were questioned yesterday at the first College Assembly meeting this semester.
Debate broke out over the anthropology department's deletion of prerequisites for numerous advanced courses.
At a meeting last May, the motion giving general prerequisite guidelines was tabled because it was agreed the term general prerequisite needed to be more clearly defined.
The tableled motion would have limited courses numbered 300 or above to juniors or to that department, and two distribution courses that department had the permission of the course's instructor.
Although some upper-level anthropology courses require prerequisites, numerous courses do not require introductory classes or junior status.
Robert Cobb, dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said yesterday prerequisite requirements for courses would be discussed at a later meeting.
ASK
From page one
It costs 25 cents a student every semester to join ASK.

areas.
Munyan also said joining ASK might have caused some issues which affect only KU to be neglected.

"Since we're so close to Topaka, a Topaka office would just be a waste of money," he
have in office. So will have a limited amount of information," she said. "Things happen very quickly in Topeka and it's important to have someone there."
MUNYAN SAID a KU student lobbying group would not necessarily need an office in Toneka.
or now, however, he said the lobby would concentrate on specific budget issues rather than on general questions.
Munyan said CSHE wanted to work with ASK on issues that would benefit all students once CSHE is more firmly established. He said the group's long-range goals are to empower onsite staff and issues that would benefit students at All Regents schools. ...
"We would still like to see KU join,
we are more than willing to work with KU."
Harrison said she was proud ASK had worked with women without the help of U and it could contend for her U.
Muyan said if KU had joined ASK it would have made the group more effective because ASK would have been representing more students.
"We thoroughly considered joining ASK when it began, but we might have been able to justify joining ASK more if the cost had been less," he said.

In 1970, it was legal to accept donations from foreigners, but not from an agent of a foreign government. In 1974, the law was changed to make it illegal to accept gifts from any foreigner.
MOST OF THE congressmen had previously acknowledged accepting gifts from Park, but said they did not know there were others doing so. Many have since returned the gifts.
The indictment specifically said Park directed the Equitable Trust Co. in 1972, to transfer a $5,000 check to Hanna's account in the House. It said Hanna bought a 1969 Cadillac from Park for $3,841 in August, 1970, and resold it to the dealer for $4,000.
