Control of Drug Use Difficult, Dean Says
By JEANNETTE HARTMAN Kansan Staff Writer
Donald Alderson, University of Kansas Dean of Men, said Monday that his office was "a student personnel office, and law enforcement is the responsibility of others," in response to recent testimony of a former KU student that the student and a president operated a drug selling business funded by the fraternity treasury.
"We will not shelter people if they are not obeying the law," Alderson said. "Each individual must assume responsibility for his own actions. Certainly we must to prevent illegal drug usage in organized housing, but it is a difficult role."
The 21-year-old former KU student, who identified himself only as Kelly, told the U.S. House Special Committee on Crime, which held hearings Friday and Saturday in Kansas City, Kan., that the business was suitable in both Lawrence and Kansas City.
ONE OF THE DIFFICULTIES of drug prevention was assessing the scope of illegal drug usage, according to Frank Bencivengo, assistant to the dean of men.
He said that drug usage was a double problem: first the problem of people using illegal drugs and not being able to handle them, second the problem of using them and being able to handle them.
"We don't have any of the old-time indicators." Bencivengo said.
Kay Proposes Bounty For Tips on Pushers
TOPEKA (AP)—Morris Kay, Republican candidate for governor, proposed Monday night that Kansas offer a $10 million payout to conviction of drug pushers in the state.
"Putting a bounty on drug pushers is necessary to attack and destroy the terror of drug abuse," Kay said in a major platform statement.
"We cannot let our children grow up in an age of addiction." Kay said in announcing a 12-point plan to combat drug abuse.
Kay said his proposal was an expansion of the state Republican platform plank on drug abuse, which had included the bounty proposal.
Kay said other states had established such bounty programs to reward persons who gave information about drug pushers leading to convictions, and said he would recommend setting up such a program in Kansas if he was elected governor Nov. 7.
"The very future of Kansas is threatened by the drug pasher—the most evil and vile member of our society," Kay Yelpski wrote in *The New York Times* on the despair and weakness of others.
While the war on the drug pusher is being waged, Kay said, the state must also "place the emphasis where it belongs—on curing, healing, redeeming drug misusers. We must restore them to a meaningful role in society."
Kay said he would recommend to the legislature that it adopt an immunity program "which will guarantee the confidentiality of bona fide treatment."
Stokstad Stubborn on Equal Rights
unnoticeably. The first problem is tapering off, Bencivengo said, but the second problem of who is using drugs was becoming more difficult.

Another difficulty. Alderson said, was that it was a problem that people generally knew by the end of the game.

"I feel very strongly on the point that women are people and created equal. I'm very stubborn on the subject," Marilyn Stokstad said recently.
"I AM CONCERNEED about individuals who use drugs and for the cloud that the testimony has put over all 25 fraternities at KU," Alderson said.
Stokstad, professor of art history and associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said that she had been a member of the women's liberation movement ever since she attended school at Michigan State University.
When she went to MSU, Stokstad said, women were not allowed in the student union and she was told that she had no business going to graduate school.
Besides her duties in the college office.
Les McLaughlin, Dallas, Texas senior,
president of Interfraternity Council, said,
"I don't know of any instances of drug use
in KU fraternities. It's almost impossible
to identify such incidents. I would keep
track of the uses of drugs anywhere.
It would be very difficult for us, too."

Stokstad is team teaching two art history courses. She taught the first five weeks of an undergraduate Russian and European art course at KU.
In this course the students get practical experience studying artifacts and wath- ing materials.
She also is teaching a graduate course at the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City. The teachers choose relatively unknown art objects and study them with the class.
"I am absolutely convinced of what I'm doing," she said. "I'm just so interested in it that I don't worry about motivating people."
"I feel that people have to be able to speak and write effectively. I've never been able to figure out any test but essay," she said.
Stokstad said she didn't worry much about motivating students and preferred to get the job done.
Nevertheless, she said, "I have no intention of making my career in administration by any means. If I don't enjoy this, I'll quit."
Sokstad said she once had trouble sleeping the night before a test she gave her students because she was so worried about how they would do on it.
Stokstad became associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences last January. She has been an administrator ever since 1961, when she was appointed acting director of the Art Museum and firmman of the art history department.
Finals are comprehensive in Stokstad's classes. She said she tried to ask questions that required imagination on the part of students.
Although she's not in favor of doing away with grades, Stokstad said she spent a lot of time working on her work.
STOKSTAD PREFERS essay tests to any other kind of test.
She said there were few women with administrative experience and, consequently, there was pressure on women with experience to move up to higher positions.
Pressure comes both from the federal government and from a sense of duty to protect citizens.
"You know, the price of one miserable bumber would shrink for the bmember's killer," she said.
Stockstad said the art history department could use more money for books, better research and more extensive field trips for the students.
Through the women's movement, people realized how poorly women were paid. Stokstad said, but men aren't paid much better.
The faculty is "shockingly underpaid" and the really serious teachers probably are working double time, according to the art professor.
In 1950 Stokstad graduated from Carleton College in Northfield, Minn., with a B.A. in painting and sculpture. She spent four years in Norway on a Fulbright Scholarship.
MONEY IS KU'S most serious problem at the moment. Stokstad said.

professor and in 1966 became a full professor. In 1969, Stokstad became research curator at the Nelson Gallery in her specialty, medieval art.
WHEN SHE became associate dean of the college, Stokstad resigned as chairman of the art history department, but remained a professor.
When Stokstad came to KU three persons taught art history, two full time and one half time. The department then was part of the School of Fine Arts.
Under Stokstad's direction, art history became a department of the college and the department now has 15 teachers, seven of them full time.
Only a B.A. degree in art history is available when Stokstad came to KU. Now it takes about 10 years of study.
There are as many students in one introductory art history class now as there were in the whole department when she came. Stokstad said.
She has taught courses in medieval, ancient, Spanish and American art, sculpture and an introductory art history course during her years at KU.
Stokstad said she liked KU because it was neither tremendously large or very small. She said she liked living in the Midwest, too.
"I think the arts become more and more important when people have leisure time,"
The arts are becoming more and more important to Americans, Stokstad said because persons are getting over their Parihur fear of the sensuous and artistic.
"I think it's rather unfortunate that somebody wasn't given more specific information, more opportunity to verify it. Kelly wasn't more thoroughly examined."
"I believe in some sort of evaluation, but I don't believe in this one yet," she said.
Even the best system of treatment and rehabilitation will not help the drug abuser or addict if he fears seeking help, Kay said.

Docking Proposes System To Ease Property Taxes
TOPEKA (AP)—Gov. Robert Docking proposed Monday that Kansas adopt some type of "tax-breaker" law to ease the burden of property taxes on persons of medium and low income.
In a major policy statement issued a month before the November general election in which the Democratic governor seeks a four two-year term, Docking said such a tax-breaker system would be a companion to the property tax lid law, which he said wasn't perfect but was working.
An aide explained that a tax-breaker system would provide for the state to pay for part of a homeowner's property tax when that tax exceeded a maximum amount set by the legislature and based upon the homeowner's income.
be 5 per cent of a person's adjusted gross annual income.
THUS, A homeowner with a $10,000
adjusted gross annual income would have
a net worth of $37,956.
If that homeowner received a property tax bill of $650, the state would make up the additional $150 to the local units of government, either by a rebate to the taxpayer or by giving him credit for the $150 on his state income tax liability.
"The property tax circuit breaker concept—together with the property tax lid—will help make certain that state and local governments do not impose excessive taxes on homeowners on the homes of these less able to pay." Docking said in his policy statement.
"The property tax circuit breaker is needed. There are more than 500,000 owner-occupied homes in Kansas. These property taxpayers deserve relief."

This spider that appears to be admiring its latest artistic endeavor, better take another look. The beads of early morning dew, which make the wet appearance to be
strung with pearls, may portend the beginning of fall on campus and the end of spring. If you are lucky spiders will be able to find a place to stay inside this winter where they can continue to spin their mossy webs until they allow them to return to the outdoors.
