Rock-A-Bye Astronaut Like A Jayhawk
While sporting enthusiasts stomp their feet to the rhythm of the Jahwak fight song these two weeks, University of Kansas graduate Ron Evans and the rest of his team jumped into the air on Saturday.
The Apollo 17 mission lasts for 12 days and one of those morning the three astronauts speed toward the moon may be awakened by the KU band playing the music.
The idea was originated by Bob Ryan, Houston, third-year KU medical center student and assistant NASA flight surgeon.
"They play different songs to awaken the astronauts each morning," Ryan said, "I thought since he was a 1956 graduate of KU it would be appropriate he awakened by the music."
Ryan said he took the idea of playing the KU fight song to the NASA flight director who said there should be no difficulty in finding a morning to play the song.
"Mission control said they would play to the play but I'm not sure of their," Ryan said. "I am trying my best to see if they will play it during lunar
TOPEKA (AP)—Newly elected Republican leaders of the Kansas Legislature did not accept an invitation Monday for a meeting with Democratic leader Docking but promised a new era of cooperation between the House and the Senate.
Docking had invited the newly elected leadership of the legislature to confer with him at the state executive mansion at 2 p.m.
Other than Lt. Gv. elect Dave Owen, only Democrats showed up for the meeting.
Cooperation Era Promised bv GOP
Duane S. "Pete" McGill, newly elected speaker of the House, and Sen. Robert F. Bennett, R-Prairie Village, nominated for the top leadership post in the senate, said their schedules Monday were so pressing they could not meet with the governor.
Both maintained they were not rebuffing Docking and would like to meet with him.
MGILL SAID he was committed to meeting with House members, some of whom had driven 300 miles to be in Topeka to speak. He also pick the leaders for the upcoming session.
Also on schedule was a 3 p.m. reception honoring House Speaker Cal Strowig, who is retiring from the legislative scene after serving in office for the American nomination for lieutenant governor.
Bennett said he was committed to meetings with the 26 other Republican candidates.
James Shaffer, the governor's press-
secretary, said those present for the
conference had been made up of local
members.
SHAFFER AID Rep. Richard "Pete" Loux, D-Wichita, minority floor leader in the house, made a late appearance at the meeting because of other commitments.
In a prepared statement, Docking said the informal meeting at the executive mansion would be held.
1 "expressed to those legislators attending, my desire to work closely and productively with the legislature as we work on bills, trips with the issues of state government," he wrote.
"AS IN THE PAST, I will invite the legislative leaders to meet with me regularly at Cedar Crest, the executive mansion, throughout the 1973 legislative session. I hope these meetings can be used to address the executive and legislative branches of Kansas government establish and maintain co-operation throughout the session."
Steineger, D-Kansas City, and Joe Warren, D-Maple City, floor leader and assistant floor leader of Senate Democrats; Pat Burnau, administrative aid to Docking, and Don Matlack and Tom Van Cleave, legislative liaison for Docking.
"I was disappointed more legislative leaders did not attend.
Shaffer said he did not know whether the governor would make any further attempt to meet with the Republican leadership prior to the session.
Bennett and McGill said they have scheduled a lunchmeeting of the Republican leadership Tuesday and that they plan to meet two or three times a week
during the legislative session at breakout, hunch, or on other occasions as cir-
"WE WILL HAVE communication on all issues, particularly policy matters," McGill said.
"We won't play games as have some leginaltures in the past."
He was referring to jockeying between the House and the Senate, which has occurred frequently in recent years, in adoption of the viewpoint of one particular legislative branch, or to enhance the power of the senate.
"There will be equal participation." McGill said.
He said the leadership fully anticipates having a legislative program which will be announced publicly in advance of the Jan. 6 date for convening the 1973 session.
"It will be a program Republicans can work for," McClill said.

Report Suggests Cut in Courses
Institutions also reported that it was common for students to hold voting power in academic and administrative policymaking groups with the exception of faculty members with voting specifically with faculty affairs. The reverse practice, that of faculty members with voting memberships on student governing committees, was not common.
The University of Kansas—Lawrence Kansas
The report said that the state institutions followed a general policy of allowing research during the decision-making process by having the choice which might be affected by a decision.

Tuesday, December 5. 1972
Chancellor Raymond Nichols said Monday that the recommendations made in the Council of Chief Academic Officers (COCAO) report on improving higher education in Kansas would have little effect on the University of Kansas.
The report, which was two years in the making, was adopted last week by the
In the area of student rights, the report noted the rapid development of firm policies and practices in the past decade. The report indicates a minority of students distrusted the motto on their institutions, and that no doubt this had part of the reason for the development of firm policies.
The report, which the state Board of Regents released Monday, recommended the discontinuance of 20 graduate programs at the University.
The other institutions reported that student participation in policy decisions was common and sometimes surpassed the 20 per cent figure.
"I can't foresee any major impact from the report because most of the recommended programs don't have much activity right now," Nichols said.
Student Role In Decisions Reported Up
The report based its findings on student life from information submitted by the Chief Student Personnel Officers of the Regent institutions, which reviewed existing student service activities and identified emerging issues.
The report noted that the written policy of the University of Kansas, which requires 20 per cent student representation in any policy-making body, was the only written policy covering student representation in any of the six Regent Institutions.

The student voice in policy making at the six Regent institutions in Kansas appears to be substantial and is apparently increasing, according to the study prepared for the Council of Chief Academic Officers (CACO) by the Council of Chief Agents Monday.

Regents as a guideline for improving higher education in the state.
COCAO, which is made up of the academic vice presidents of the six state schools, prepared the report under the supervision of Dr. Joe McFarland, regent's academic officer. The 138-page report conducted two years of a review and study of current academic programs offered in the state system of higher education.
Ambrose Sarkiss, vice chancellor for academic affairs, is the KU representative on the Council. He replaced Francis Heller, professor of political science and law, who resigned from the academic affairs office this fall.
Saricks said that the discontinuance of courses reflected the decreasing enrollment pattern in the state. He said that although there had been minor gains by the three universities in the state, the other state institutions were down considerably.
"Because of the decreasing enrolments, the base budgets of the schools are going down," Saricis said. "We had to decide what we could cut to bring down costs. Therefore certain programs were recommended for discontinuance."
THE REPORT also set down guidelines which would guard against unnecessary duplication of programs in the state. The report, released last year, program that did not produce at least one

Lonborg Named Interim Athletic Director
.. Past athletic director will assume post Jan. 1
Lonborg Gets Athletic Post
Arthur C. "Dutch" Lonborg, athletic director at the University of Kansas from 1960 to 1964, was appointed acting athletic director today by Chancellor Raymond Nichols until a successor to Wade Stinson is assigned will assume the interim position Jan. 1.
Stinson, when he announced his resignation Nov. 15, said he did not want to remain in a "lame duck" position until a successor could be appointed. Stinson was KU athletic director for eight years and succeeded Lonborg in 1984.
Nichols, in a statement scheduled to be released today, said he was certain Lonborg would do an outstanding job as interim director.
"I greatly appreciate Dutch's willingness to assume temporary responsibility for the design of the program."
Lobeng said that he was surprised by his appointment as interim athletic director, but he said he would be willing to fill the position until a replacement for Sirinson was found.
"His years as athletic director were marked by many successes and I am sure he will be able to manage the department of the student body, faculty and alumni."
"I am pleased to be able to help out," he said. "As you know, athletics has been my whole life."
World Nuclear Depository Proposed

"The IAEA is extremely interested in an international program for nuclear waste disposal." Zeller said. "There is better than the one that保证 the proposal will be accented."
Two University of Kansas proponents of an international nuclear waste depository in Antarctica said Monday chances were good for international acceptance of the plan last week's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) conference in Paris.
Edward Zeller, director of the Radiation Physics Laboratory and professor of physics and astronomy, presented the plan and was accompanied by Gisla Dreschhoff, visiting assistant professor of physics and astronomy.
The International Radionuclide Deposition (INTERHAR) is to be a permanent international depository for high-grade rare waste in the middle of Antarctica.
"If anything is ever to get a critical and proper review," Zeller said, "this thing has a chance for it. It is receiving a very fair hearing."
ZELLER said it was the only comprehensive international plan for a disposal presented at the conference. It was also the result of a study that been considered for a storage medium.
THE PROPOSAL states that nuclear
Although the proposal was read to 200 of the 268 scientists attending the conference at the end of Tuesday's session, Zeller said the attention was good and the overall feeling toward the proposal favorable. Questions consisted of technical clarifications and the safety of transporting nuclear wastes, he said.
wastes will be solidified in cannisters that will melt their own emplacement shaft in the ice due to the heat of their contents. The shafts will reheat themselves and the radioactive wastes will be irrevocably buried.
At the present time, Zeller said, they are hoping that the IAEA will allocate the funds or award grants to him and Texas Inc. for the development of a research TERRAD, for the continuation of research.
THE IAEA may now set up a committee to avoid further evaluation of the protocol zellet.
One French representative, Zeller said, expressed great interest and called the INTERRAD proposal "Good," "different" and "progressive."
In the past the IAEA has rarely taken any and of action, but it seems that the United States
"We have offered them (IAEA) a position where they can expand or execute the power they have," Zeller said. "We consider the IAEA to be a group of competent scientists who have the power and should be willing to assume the responsibility of an active role."
By allocating the power of administering a nuclear waste disposal to the IEA, Dreschoff said, it will discourage political activity and agency's operations by member states.
The need for an international nuclear waste depositor was apparent at the Paris Conference, Zeller said, because many nations represented there indicated they possess possible means of disposing of nuclear wastes or had done very limited research.
One of the major factors influencing the differences between nations, Zeller said, is the fact that many people
"THE RUSSIANS don't have to care about the environmentalists," Zeller said. "They can do what they want and the public can't object."
Zeller said the conference was a "testimonial to the American way."
Though the British have no environmental movement, Zeller said, the Germans do and the effect shows in national policies.
Japan has a major problem in finding a site for a nuclear waste depository, Zeller is the cause of the number of earthquakes there. The Japanese representatives said they had considered depositing the wastes on an island.
Presently, the Russian representatives are storing their nuclear wastes in stainless
tank tanks above the ground, Zeller said, though they emphasized that this "does not solve all of the long term problems." The Russians, according to Zeller, said they want to solidify the wastes and put a strong focus on finding a low cost means of disposal.
THE RUSSIAN representatives also stated, Zeller said, that they did not have the transportation problem other nations have since the wastes were disposed on of the spot of origin. Zeller said he understood this to mean that the wastes were being pumped into underground wells through beams and pipes to the surface. The Russians stated they did not know where the wastes were going after disposal in the wells. Zeller said.
The Germans have the only operating depository in the world. At the present time they are depositing only low and intermediate-level wastes in the salt mines but expect to begin storage of high-level wastes by 1977. According to Zeller, the German government is planning to examine seven more sites for deposits of nuclear wastes.

Zeller said the Germans were afraid that other European nations would ask the Germans to dispose of their waste for them, since they already have a disposal in Europe. For this reason they are interested in an international depository, he said.
Lomborg entered KU in 1916 (and during his college years) made all Missouri Valley and Arkansas colleges.
As a quarterback he threw touchdown passes in 1920 which enabled KU to come from 20 points behind to die Nebraska. In the first half, KU scored on a met in a mass meeting the following Monday and pledged $160,000 toward念 Memorial Stadium to close McKenzie's hole.
Lonberg also made the conference all-star team in basketball as a guard.
PARIS (AP)-Henry A. Kissinger and Le Duc Tho of North Vietnam met twice Monday for a total of five hours, opening a reception at the Embassy before a Vietnam cease-fire is signed.
After earning a law degree in 1921, Lonborg, who never practiced law, became the first full-time coach as he McPheasant basketball coach at Northwestern University.
Lombor was appointed KU *ultilem* by Chancellor Deane W. Mallott in 1895.
Kissinger Talks Twice With Tho
A restricted morning session of President Nikon's national security advise and Theo, the North Vietnamese Politburo member, was followed by a further 2-hour afternoon meeting in which the full delegations of about 10 officials on both sides joined Kissinger and Tho at a new rendezvous.
The Florida White House said the talks would continue today.
The complete news blackout that has been imposed throughout Kissinger's 21 previous meetings with the Hanoi Politburo member Hanoi Hanol诉轡 continued in force.
The North Vietnamese chose the luxury villa of a French industrialist at Saint Gemme, about 20 miles west of Paris, as the latest negotiating site.
It was the third different meeting place used since Kissinger's trips to Paris were made public. The morning session had been held near the North Vietnamese headquarters at Choisy le Roi south of the capital.
The villa used for the afternoon session is set deep in a vast stretch of parkland behind high walls and closed, guarded, iron gates. It was once owned by the British Capt. Winslow, married, whose romance with Princess Margaret made world headlines in the 1960s.
The White House said Kissinger reported to Nixon at Key Biscayne after the morning session, and that the full negotiating team was assigned to the afternoon meeting.
