North Viets Launch Raids Across South
SAIGON (AP)—Enemy forces staged 101 hit-and-run attacks across South Vietnam in a sudden upsage of activity, and U.S. Navy jets attacked a North Vietnamese shipyard at Haiphong, the commandments in Saigon reported Monday.

Fear Is the Heritage Of Vietnam's Capitals
By PETER ARNETT AP Special Correspondent
Time has settled over Hanoi like a plastic wrapper, sealing in the past. An old French trunk clanks along main street, bicycles meander by. The few automobiles bonking through the streets are relics from Soviet Union car lots.
Saigon has the tinsel veneer of a desert vacation boom town. Flashy motorcycles, sporty cars. Perfume, hair spray. Rich, poor.
These capitals of the Vietnames that have been at war with each other for nearly 20 years, seen at first glance to be a thing in common—Vietnamese people.
But after a few days in each place another shared quality becomes apparent.
FEAR GNAWs at Hanoi with the first sounds of a laudspeaker system hanging from each main intersection. "American planes 70 kilometers out" says the authorized female voice. Minutes later she again calls: "American planes 50 kilometers out."
A quiet settles over the city, broken by the staccato roar of antaircraft guns if the aircraft come over the city. Or maybe the all clear sounds.
Then the sirens wail. The people of Hanoi know that the bombers are within 40 kilometers, 25 miles. Their eyes search out the concrete bunkers built like cisterns into the streets. Air raid wardens push through the city to reinforce Ruinification. Lake in the heart of the cities.
Saigon does not have the benefit of an alert system. The needle-shaped Russian-made 12mm rockets that can spin in from the countryside give no warning. No rockets have fallen on Saigon lately, but the memories of the Saigonese are filled
with the bad days of other years when as many as 30 at a time came crashing in on homes and market places. They know it could happen again.
LIFE GOES ON amidst the fear, but what a different life it is. Twenty years of warfare and ideological struggle seem to be the extremes in Vietnamese character.
Hand is drab, a poor relative of other Communist capitals. The grand old French colonial buildings are tidy but crumbling, the houses shops in the densely populated quarters.
Discipline and dialectic is in the air. The people dress in somber colors—black trousers, white shirts or blouses, khaki gray or blue jackets. The barmaid at the Hoa Binh Hotel in downtown Haomol told me she owned only one white blouse and one pair of black trousers. "I wash them each night," she said, proud of her austerity.
SAIGON IS DRAB, too, where the refugees crowd into the slums swelling the population to over three million compared to around one million in Hanoi.
But whereas the drabness of Hanoi seems deliberate, calculated possibly to keep everyone's minds on the mission of pursuing the war, in Saigon it is accustomed to less Japanese pursue the good things in life as avidly as inhabitants of Western capitals.
It is easy to draw a superficial conclusion from the contrasts between Hanoi and Saigon. One seems obviously grimly determined, the other wildly abandoned.
But Saigon is to the rest of South Vietnam as is New York City to middle America, and so is Hanoi an inaccurate reflection of life in the North. Both the Vietnames are essentially agricultural societies still living in the 19th Century.
for 2½ hours, Thieu's public positions on war and peace in a state of the nation address were restated for him at the University of South Vietnam's National Assembly.
HAIG, who arrived in Saigon on Sunday, is scheduled to depart for Washington on Tuesday after meetings with top U.S. military officials, Ambassador Elsworth Haila and former Secretary of State Haiq was sent here to review the political and military situation, but informants said the general's chief purpose was to brief Thieu on the secret proceedings in Paris between Nixon's adviser Henry A. Kissinger and North Vietnamese diplomats.
Haig is Nixon's top military aide and Kaiser family deputy on the National Security Council.
In Thailand, U.S. spokesmen reported that 36 mortars were fired at Ubion air base, one of eight Thai bases from which American planes strike at North Vietnam. No casualties were reported at the base, some 200 miles north of Bangkok.
Enemy mortar shells hit the airport at Kompto City in Cambodia. A government spokesman said nine civilian air passengers were killed and another 20 persons wounded. The spokesman said one mortar round hit a Cambodia Air Commercial DC3 passenger plane as it landed. After reaching Phnom Penh from Kompto after the attack said the plane was parked and taking on passengers when it was hit.
THE U.S. COMMAND said Navy and Air Force jets flew more than 250 strikes against the Vietnam on Sunday, in response to a bombing, 3 which pilots said were left in flames.
In a delayed report, the command said
that a jet engine blown by a surface to
air missile Fridtjof Nielsen.
The command has reported losing 103 jets over the North in the six months of American full-scale bombing, and 108 American fighter have been added to the missing list.

The two candidates for Douglas County attorneys discussed different aspects of the job and the problems encountered by the off-
fichelder at a debate Monday night in Elsworth Hall. Assistant County Attorney Ed Collier, left, and Dave Berkowitz agreed that the county attorney, as chief prosecutor for state laws in the county, should be viewed as a protector of society. Both also agreed that it was a problem to get people来 forward to file complaints and testify about crimes. See story Page 2.
Chalmers Says He's 'Comfortable' Directing Art Institute in Chicago

Quadagno Seeks Student's Interest Utilizes Various Teaching Methods
Editor's Note: This is the fifth in a series of interviews with the 10 HOP Award Award winners.
The joints of the human arm are just not very interesting to most people, but David Diagnoa, assistant professor of physiology at Yale University, tries hard to make them interesting.

In "Human Anatomy" Quadagno's students not only study books and slides of the body, but some of the students also dissect human cadavers in Snow Hall.
Quadagno came to KU in the fall of 1970 to teach anatomy. He spent the previous year at the University of California at Los Angeles Medical School as a research fellow.
Quadagno said he stressed a high degree of professional conduct in the dissection
laboratory. The cadavers are treated with great respect because they are human

ABOUT 110 students are currently enrolled in the anatomy class which requires two-hour lab sessions and two three-hour lab sessions a week. Most of the students are in physical therapy, occupational therapy and special education majors, which require the class.
Three hour exams are given during the course. There is no final. Quadagno said that the course started out as very difficult and continued until four-fifths of the way through.
QUADRAGON said he tried to go slowly and was always ready to answer question. He said it was easy to notice when students stopped paying attention in class.
Quadagno prides himself on his coordination of the lectures and labs. Before the students dissent any part of the body in their laboratory, they receive a lecture on it in class.
He said he would rather have a teaching assistant with a good knowledge of anatomy who worked well with students in the school. He said he simply well but didn't get along well with others.
Quadisago handpicks his five teaching assistants for their knowledge of anatomy
Each lecture period is accompanied by slides of the body from the students' book
DURING the last part of the course the students study the thorax and abdomen, which are not as important for therapy students as the limbs of the body.
Quadagno keeps a list of those students who are having trouble with the class. His assistants hold special help sessions for these students every Monday night.
Quadiano said he didn't like to give D's or 's' because many hours of credit were
If a student does poorly in the course, he said he didn't hesitate to give him a low grade, though, out of fairness to the other students.
During the first two years of college at Penn State he was in secondary education. He then decided to become a doctor or lawyer and two years later got a B.S. in zoology.
Though he was accepted at two dental schools, marriage intervened. He ended up getting an M.A. at San Francisco State College in biology.
QUADAGNO, 31, grew up in a wealthy suburb of Chicago where school he培了 to be a biology teacher.
After completing his fellowship at UCLA, Quadagno looked for a job at a state university in the midwest and took the job here when KU offered it.
He then spent a year as a park naturalist taking elementary school children on nature walks and talking to them about his park.
HE WENT to the University of Illinois
in ENTERTAINMENT as a Ph.D. in en-
dentrology and behavior.
"like the geography. I like the state rather than a city," he said, "like type thing rather than a city," he said.
Quadagano is just as satisfied with the financial support he has received in the competition and is happy to keep it.
He said that he liked Feedback, the teacher evaluation survey published each semester by the Curriculum and Instruction Survey.
"IVE NEVER for anything I've not received." he said.
Still, he would like more money, more bodies and fewer students. He said that other schools were having similar problems, though.
The two leaders will formally exchange instruments of ratification at the White House East Room this morning, with an array of top officials on hand.
Quadragon said he had even changed texts because of Feedback. In the last Feedback he received overall ratings of 4.4 and 4.5 on a 5 scale.
The invitation to Camp David came as Nixon and Gromyko met for 70 minutes at the White House, beginning a round of meetings.
It was at Camp David, in the Maryland mountains, that President Eisenhower and then Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev held meetings in 1959.
Under discussion Monday was a follow-up on the arms agreements and included such issues as treatment of Soviet Jews, which was proposed secure security conference.
Among those invited to a working dinner Monday night at Camp David, along with Mr. Wendell Berry, the Anatoly Dobrynin, Secretary of State William P. Rogers, National Security Advisor K. A. Krumpfer, Secretary of Commerce B. B. Butler, Secretary of Commerce Peter G. Peterson.
Butz helped negotiate the recent grain sale to the Soviet Union and Peterson engaged in trade negotiations, including the question of settlement of $11 billion in lend-lease debts the Russians have owed since World War II.
"I do not feel out of place because the interaction between colleagues here is very similar to that at a university." Chalmers said...
"I wanted to acquaint myself with the Chicago area news media and give them a chance."
Chalmers, who officially assumed the post Monday, said he began his first day at UNIS.
The press coverage of Chalmers' appointment in Chicago was very impersonal.
"THE ORIGINAL INTENTION of the trustees here was not to make the announcement until Oct. 3," he said, "but we did a quick announcement had to be made."
Chalmers the leak and the ensuing announcement caught him by surprise and, therefore, he was unavailable to the police. The day after, he had made himself scarcse last week.
"I did not want to comment on my appointment until I had given the appointment."
Letters, cards and telegrams wishing him well also greetings Chalmers on his first day. He said that senders of the messages were from companies in Bangladesh associates and persons in Chicago.
The trustees of the institute made a break with tradition when they hired an administrator to head an art institute, Chalmers said.
"I am the chief administrator of the largest school of art in the country, the university." He said. "The trustees felt that the operation was getting too complex for a curator and that they needed to have a more active experience at the university level."
CHALMERS SUCCEEDS Charles
Although a jump like this may seem to be a substantial break with his former job, Chalmers said, it is very similar to running a university and he is quite pleased with the new position. He also is happy with his new hours, he said.
"There is a feeling around here that the administrator's job ends at 5 p.m., which gives me a few more evenings and weekends free," he said.
Cunningham who retired from the Art Institute Aug. 31. According to a Chicago Daily News article, Cunningham often references for esthetics over administration.
Chalmers gave two reasons for accepting the position. "The job is very similar to my position as chancellor and it offers a challenge in terms of bringing the diverse units of the institute into an operating whole," he said.
CHALMERS WAS an honorary trustee of the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery in Kansas City and he is known to paint in his spare time.
'I was told that I had no option in the matter, but I would assume that I am under the official salary, he added.
Although he is now employed elsewhere,
Chalmers will still be paid by the
U.S. government.
Chalmers will receive $10,000 over a period of six months after a ruling by the Kansas Board of Gendets last month. The board of Chalmers as a full professor on leave.
Chalmers said that he didn't know whether he would ever return to a university either as a teacher or an administrator.
"Right now, I hope to have a long and profitable relationship with the institute," he said. He said he had no other plans for the future.
Docking to Establish Commission To Find Funds for Drug Battle
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP)—Gov.
Robert Docking revealed here Monday
night that he would establish a special
Kansas Drug Abuse Commission that
would coordinate state efforts to establish
a new Kansas drug abuse authority.
The main function of the commission, Docking said in remarks prepared for the third annual Governor's Drug Abuse Prevention Council, is to the necessary funds for the authority.
"This commission will work closely with the special action office for drug abuse prevention established by President Nixon and directed by Congress this year." Docking said.
"OUR KANSAS commission assists us in

Docking said Kansas is attacking "the menace of drug, abuse—and we are
"We are dealing today," Docking said, "with a problem that has perplexed mankind for centuries. The reliance upon drugs—from alcohol and tranquilizers to heroin—has endured for centuries—a threat to us as much today as at any time in the history of civilization."
He said community drug abuse teams, which have been spawned by the governor's conferences, are making progress in combating the drug problem in the state.
He congratulated those attending the conference, who included local officials and school officials involved in drug control for the sacrifice you made in this effort."
THE GOVERNOR also thanked President Nixon and the director of the special action office, Dr. Jerome H. Joffe, and Mr. Gerald Hageman to help conduct the conference.
Docking listed what he said his administration has done to fight the drug problem, adding: "The battle against drug abuse is not the obligation of government alone. Rather, it is also the responsibility of each citizen.
"Drug abuse is a social problem that must be attacked in our communities, our churches, schools, our governments and in our homes.
