Meeting Set On Standards Of Selection
The Campus Advisory Committee for the selection of a new chancellor will meet Saturday to discuss the procedural issues before they will use to choose a new chancellor.
Richard Von Ende, executive secretary of the University and secretary for the committee, said the meeting on Saturday would be very important.
"We will really begin to establish the criteria which are important in the decision process," he said.
The meeting will begin with a noon lunch in the Kansas Union. The session will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Von Ende said that during the first part of the meeting the members would present their individual criteria for a chancellor. Later, he said, the committee would probably consolidate the material into a collective list.

"The committee might try to decide which of the nominations they will try to pursue actively and which of them they might not want to pursue," he said.
"For example, the committee may say that they don't want anyone who is near the statutory age of retirement. The nominee near that age would then be filled away."
Von Ende said that biographical collections such as "Who's Who" might be used to supply additional information on issues that the committee wanted to pursue.
Von Ende inspected the meeting on Saturday would take three or four hours.
"At least six members of the committee have to travel to be at the meeting," he said. So our meetings will not be frequent but their weighty in order to catch up on our material."
Von Ende said that his office had received at least 125 responses to the committee's request.

New Wives Regain Vote

TOPEKA—Women who married after the closing of voter registration books Oct. 17 cannot be denied the right to vote, Shawnee Mayor David Michael A. Barbara ruled Thursday.
The enactment and enforcement of the Kansas statute that had not allowed voting of persons who changed their names because of marriage after the registration deadline is denying unnecessarily the rights of qualified voters. Barbara said.
The ruling came after a suit was filed for Kristine Hall Gallop, University of Kansas second year law student who had married after the registration deadline. She was represented by two KU professors, Michael Davis, associate professor of law, and Louise Wheeler, assistant professor of law. The two attorneys also represented

Wheeler, in her presentation before the judge, said that it was a common law custom, which began in England, that a woman would take the last name of her husband. She said, however, that there was no statute making this a legal requirement.
Wheeler said that the voter registration law discriminated against women because it denied women voter's privileges that it did not deny to men. She said this tree
She said that a woman was legally free to use her either her maid or married name as well.

Hanoi Defers Talks Until Pact Is Signed
PARIS (AP)—North Vietnamese spokesmen declared Thursday that there would be no further negotiations with Henry A. Kissinger until the United States committed itself to signing the draft peace agreement.
North Vietnamese and Viet Cong spokesmen at the peace talks denounced the Nixon administration for what they called a breach of promise in failing to sign the
agreement by Oct. 31, the deadline set by Hanoi.
South Vietnamese delegates at the 165th weekly session of the peace talks said their government would refuse to recognize any fire agreement concluded against its will.

Secret Donors Picked From Nixon's Pocket
WASHINGTON (AP)—Chicago insurance man W. Clement Stone secretly contributed $1 million to President Nixon's re-election campaign. The records disclosed Thursday night showled.
Stone, head of Combined Insurance Co. of America, who contributed more than half a million dollars to Nixon in 1968, was the biggest donor named in a list of contributors released by the Finance Committee to Relect the President.
Release of the list of those who donated to the Nixon campaign before March 10 was a result of a consent order in connection with a suit brought by Common Cause, a self-organized citizens' lobby, against the committee, and is expected to be tried after the election.
NIXON FUND raisers had refused to disclose the names of contributors of more than $10 million donated before a new federal elections law took effect.
The 238 contributions to Nixon during the Jan. 1, 1971, to Mar. 9, 1972, period totaled $5,000,333, thus accounting for about one-third of the reported $15 million the committee raised before the new campaign reporting law went into effect April 7.
Thirteen of the contributions were six figures or higher and an additional 35 ranged from $10,000 to just under $100,000. The average
The average contribution from the elite group was $17,690.
Among the contributors to Nixon's
campaign were : J. Paul Getty for $50,000;
Jon W. Payson, owner of the New York
University Press; and James P. Bentley,
publisher of Reader's Digest, for $40,000.
Reports from both Republican and Democratic presidential campaigns were due by midnight Thursday under the new federal election law.

was little apparent indication that peace was at hand, as Kissinger said last week.
Nguyen Xuan Phong of the South Vietnamese delegation did not directly refer to the peace agreement in his speech but raised a series of objections to what he said were utterly contradictory and unacceptable proposals.
The Viet Cong argued that in failing to sign the agreement, the United States shortened the chances that U.S. prisoners of war would be home by Christmas.
U. S. delegate William J. Porter avoided the polemics of the other delegations. In a brief statement, he said that the issues still were complex and could be settled quickly by effort and will.
Porter denied the repeated Communist charge that these problems were mere prerequisites.
"Misunderstandings, if they exist," he said, "must be faced frankly and dealt with. Excessive haste in setting the final elements would jeopardize the work that has been done and might place the future viability of the agreement in doubt."
Kissinger told a news conference last week that it was Hanol's responsibility to set the date for a final secret negotiating session.
Trudeau to Continue Despite Party Setback
OTTAWA (AP)—Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Canada prime minister, said Thursday night that his Liberal government will stay on and face Parliament despite the stunning electoral setback that chopped away his majority.
The prime minister said in a televised news conference that his Liberals' showing in the Monday elections "reflected the view of a good many Canadians that the government for the last 4½ years has not been satisfactory."
"The continuation of my government will depend on the Parliament," he said.
Processing of election results developed Thursday into a tie between the Liberal and Conservative parties at 109 seats each in the House. The final vote are still under way in several tight races.
HOLDING THE BALANCE of power are the socialistic New Democrats, with 30 seats in the 264-member House. Neither party can rule without their sufferance.
David Lewis, the New Democrat party leader, pledged his support for the Liberal government on the condition that the New Democrats reject it and that the New Democrats cannot accept.
Lewis, in a news conference held after Trudeau's, said the New Democrats would not seek to obstruct Parliament and throw the country into new elections, but he added
that no Canadian believed the new
manum can last a full term of four
years.
ROBERT STANFIELD, the Conservative leader, sharply criticized Trudeau's decision.
"Mr. Trudeau made it clear tonight the arrogant desire of his government to hang on to power," Stanfield said. "He is treating the election result as simply another opinion poll in the hope he can somehow get away with it."
Trudeau said Monday's election indicated to him that there have been some failures. But Trudeau said he was not going to "govern for any particular party" and added that he does not believe the Liberal government needed the New Democrats.
He said that despite his party's setback, he
acknowledged the clear sign of approval for any one party.
TRUDEAU SAID he had not been able to account for the Liberal decline but hoped to introduce legislation that would respond to complaints indicated by the elections.
He said an economic package would have to be placed before Parliament that would fight unemployment without causing "galloping inflation."
The prime minister said he would ask the governor-general to convene Parliament as soon as possible after the final election results had been established.

Governor's Race Quickens Pace to November Finish
By JAN KESSINGER
Kansan Writer
Morris Kay, Republican candidate for governor, says he is campaigning for the office of governor, not against Robert Docking, the incumbent. This policy has not been used by Docking's opponents in the past.
Kay biltzed to a primary victory in a four-way race he entered in the last week for filing. Since then, the Kay campaign has maximum use of television in his campaign, moments began to challenge his image, Kay set out to make personal appearances.
Kay calls his campaign "positive," a quality he says he would like to carry over into his administration. His campaign tactics have come under fire for attacks on the Governor, but for his widespread use of media advertising.
HE LAUNCHED his official Kansas campaign over the Labor Day weekend and walked around the Lake Garnett race track shaking the hand of every spectator he could find. As the election day drew near, Kay began to visit four, five and six towns a day, which stopped at the newspaper and radio station interviews and took walks trough the town.
western towns in Stevens County or at the Overland Park Chamber of Commerce.
One of the campaign complaints against Kay is that he is usually pictured with "that up to Heaven look," as a woman in Kay headquarters called it. She explained that she was calling her contact lenses and bright lights hurt his eyes so he looks away from the camera.
Kay is a tail, former football player from the University of Kansas. He mixes well on the field.
KAY USES his experience as majority
floor leader of the Kansas House of Representatives as a base of experience for his campaign. He campaigns as a moderate conservative and says he stresses that he is
a Republican for governor, something Republican Kansas has not had in six years.
When Kay introduced himself in a small town as a Republican for governor, a woman store clerk replied, "Good, we haven't had one in a long time."
THE REMOVAL of the sales tax on these items would cut $24 million in state tax revenue each year. Kay plans to use federal revenue sharing, of which Kansas will receive more of the sales tax loss instead of raising taxes elsewhere.
In his primary contest, Kay brought out a plan to eliminate sales taxes on food and drugs. Kay said that this allowed a tax break for those who needed it most, and offered a benefit for everyone who lived here.
Kay said that tax reform and revision were the key issue in the cancinaim.
Another tax problem to which Kay has directed his attention is the property tax. To combat a continually rising property tax, which has been attacked by virtually all candidates for every office in every party, the constitutional amendment to allow local units of government to decide on other sources of revenue addition to or in lieu of the property tax.
"What I propose," Kay said, "as a constitutional amendment to allow the people at the local level to actually gain control of the property taxes by having new sources of revenue to finance local units of government.

Docking . . .
By SCOTT EATON Kansan Staff Writer
The Kansas gubernatorial race is going very well for incumbent Robert Docking, according to Jim Shaffer, Docking's press secretary.
"We think it's going really well at this point," Shaffer said. "Most of the poll shows it is."
"The governor receives 300 to 400 letters every day; most of them seem favorable. Also, the response to his public appearances has been tremendous."
Shaffer said Docking was receiving heavy support in what had traditionally been a Republican state including support from a large number of Republicans.
'Most people seem to agree with the program and proposals the governor has agreed to.
Shaffer said the credibility of Docking's Republican opponent, Morris Kay, who is majority leader of the Kansas House of Justice, is becoming a major issue in the campaign.
"THINK it has become a matter of the records of the two candidates," Shaffer said.
Docking said he also thought the contest would be decided by the past records of

down to our proven record against the doubtful one of the opposition."
Docking one of the achievements he considered most important during his career.
Docking, speaking Thursday before a student assembly at Pratt Community Junior College, outlined what he said were achievements of his administration.
"commitment to higher education." He said that higher education in Kansas was in a much better situation than had ever existed before he took office.
ATTRACTING MORE industry was also one of the dogs Docking said his administration had accomplished. He said the influx of new industry had created more new jobs during his term in office than in the past, and period in the history of Kansas. He also said sans were enjoying the highest per capita income in the history of the state.
Highway construction and a safe highway transportation system in Kansas were also administered, administration, Docking said. He said that the ministration Kansas had reached third place nationwide in the total number of miles, ranking behind Texas and California.
Docking said that according to Nixon administration figures crime rates had decreased during his administration and that Wichita, Topeka and Kansas City, Kan., were three of $3 major American cities to have had decreases in major crime.
SHAFFER SAID there was a great difference in the types of campaigns the two teams had.
"Kay tends to appeal to the upper middle class and the wealthy," Shaffer said. "Gov. Docking, however, tends to get most of his money from businessmen and middle income people and to the youth vote."
Shafter said Docking ran a more "hand-band" campaign than did Kay and saw that.
"That is the way the governor started out in 1966 and that is the way he has
