Forced Use Of Feedback Is Proposed
By GARY ISAACSON Kansan Staff Writer
The Academic Affairs Committee of the Student Senate drafted a resolution Thursday asking for the mandatory participation of University of Kansas faculty members in the Curriculum and Instruction Diversity (CIS)
The proposal, which offered three options to the faculty concerning the use of the survey, will be presented to the Student Senate on Tuesday and may be sent to the University Senate for enactment into law, according to Alex Thomopolus, graduate student from North Carolina.
Under option one, the results of the survey will go to the instructor, the department chairman and the dean of the school and would be published in the course, the instructor and the mean score of the response to each survey question.
The second option is the same as the first except that the results would not be
The third states that the results would go only to the instructor.
The survey is now voluntary and many teachers ignore it. Thomopolus said. Thomopolus said that many departments had their own evaluation surveys that they used.
Nancy Harper, Lawrence graduate student and director of CIS, said the survey provided an element of choice in the survey's 15 optional questions.
"We provide the instructor with the opportunity of adding his own questions if he does not feel that ours are adequate," she said.
"During the spring and summer semesters, approximately 1,000 teachers
Harper said the survey was no longer in its experimental stage and was a valid test of teaching ability. She said many teachers wanted the survey.
Harper said she was trying to promote the survey on campus and also at other locations.
$27,000 every time it is run, Harper said.

Similar Squabbles over Annexation Taking Place Throughout Kansas
By JOHN PIKE Kansan Staff Writer
Voter opposition that led to the repudiation of a 1,780-annexation to Lawrence Tuesday was far from unique in the state. A series of proposals in the state have failed recently.
The Hutchinson City Commission has tabled an annexation proposal and has asked the city planning commission to consider a different area for annexation.
The City Commission of Olathe Tuesday accepted a recommendation from the city planning commission against annexation plans, because, it said, the move would be premature.
Lawrence votes solidly approved in a referendum Tuesday an ordinance to redirect northwest of the city. The area included the Kansas Power and Light Co. energy plant.
RICHARD HANSEN, Hutchinson director of planning and development, said the move to table the annexation proposal originated with the city government. He said, though, that residents of the areas to be annexed opposed the move.
"They fight hard on any annexation," Hansen said.
Olathe City Manager Ray Riley said his outsetation proposal was no more than a study by the city planning commission and that no formal action had been proposed.
Hutchinson was interested in the Lawrence referendum, Hansen said, because the city plans to annex a KPL plant in three or four years.
"WHENEVER you go out and attempt to
a partially enclosed area, you
have a partially enclosed area."
*Annexation has never been a popular issue with the people in the area to be involved.*
Dennis Kallen, Lawrence assistant city manager, agreed with Hansen and Riley.
The three officials expressed different opinions about why people opposed an amendment to the vote here was a rejection of a specific proposal and not of annexation in general.
Hansen and Riley both said that the concept of annexation was meeting increased resistance. Both said there was an effort to fairly organized resistance in their cities.
Kallens credited the Riverside Com-
munity, which sponsored the demeanexation prop-
annexation would meet strong resistance throughout the state.
Dun Kufah of RFD 1, chairman of the committee, shared the view that any
HE SAID people resented annexation without a chance to vote on it and that the Lawrence proposal might have succeeded had there been a refendum originally.
Hansen said citizen opposition to annexation could be so strong that residents of newly annexed areas around Hutchinson would not always use city water and sewer services installed as a result of annexation. He said Hutchinson was adamant that would make mandatory the use of city sewer service within city limits.
Kallman said the main effect of the Lawrence vote would be pleacement.
Hansen was unsure of the long-term effects of resistance to anexation, but he firmly believed that annexation must continue.
said sections would be annexed as residents requested it because Lawrence statutes forbish the city commission from annexing any part of the demeaned land within the next 10 years without a referendum, unless residents request it.
Hansen, criticized residents who opposed annexation proposals because they claimed they did not need the city's services. Hansen said people live on the outskirts of the city to take advantage of city services.
"The only answer for citites is anexation," Haven said.
Senate Gets Tough With Skyjacking Bill
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate passed a tough antiakyjacking bill Thursday providing for a new airport security police force, screening of all airline passengers, and the option of the death penalty for skivkers.
Additionally, the President would be given the authority to suspend service of a U.S. airline to a foreign country or service of a foreign airline to this country if:
—A country aides or harbors skylakers, or is host to or aids terrorist groups who use air piracy as one of their prime weapons.
— A country does not take adequate precautions to guard against skyjacking.
A country continues its service to the many counties which aide or abets skyscrapers.
Did Agnew Force Probe on Wheat?
THE SENATE vote was 75 to 1 to send the bill to the House. Sen. Harold Hughes, D-Lawe, voted against it. He said he objected only to the death penalty option. The death sentence would be at the discretion of the jury if there is a skyjacking conviction. The other choice is a minimum sentence of 20 years.
The Supreme Court has declared the death penalty, as now generally administered in the United States, to be unconstitutional. But the court left the
WASHINGTON (AP)—A dispute over administration handling of the U.S.-Soviet Union wheat deal has spread to whether a statement by Vice President Spiro T. Agnew forced President Nixon to order an FBI probe of alleged profiteering.
Presidential press secretary Ronald Ziegler, at the White House Thursday, said he had given an accurate account Wednesday in reporting that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton requested investigation request in a call Tuesday to presidential aide John D. Ehrlichman.
Rep. John Melecher, D-Mont., said Thursday that he understands Agnew's anecdotal evidence of his conference in Minneapolis on Tuesday that an FBI probe was in progress at the order of the President, "came as a complete shock to the House and shock to the Department of Agriculture."
"I'll stand by my statement," Zlegier said Thursday, adding in reply to a question that considered the Times a source accurate and certain that it conflicted with what he had said.
The administration maintained, however, that a probe was requested before Agnew spoke and described an account of the incident as erroneous.
On Thursday, the New York Times reported that a misstatement by Agnew apparently led Nixon to order the FBI to investigate the wheat sale.
The newspaper quoted "sources on Capitol Hill" as saying that until Agnew made his statement, Nixon had had no intention of ordering such a probe.
Agnew, in a statement issued through his office here Thursday, called the Times story 'inaccurate—wrong in its over-all and wrong in its particularities.
"Some errors are apparent from an examination of the vice presidential press conference transcript. Some result from the notorious unreliability of *Capitol Hill* officials in making decisions and actions. We stand behind our previous statement on the matter."
AAUP Protests State School Report
By LYNNE MALM
Kansan Staff Writer
THE SCREENING of all passengers would take place for at least a year with the federal government footing the bill for electronic weapons detection devices.
The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) unanimously passed the resolution of protest against the teaching of academic Officers (COCAO) for their compilation of a report on curriculum issues in schools without consulting the KU faculty.
Acting Chancellor Raymond Nichols was the guest of honor at the dinner preceding the meeting and answered both questions from the floor before the banquet guests.
The freshman enrollment is up, as is that of women, he said. Future enrollment will increase the number of graduate school and the number of continuing transfer students KU attracts, since the number of Kansas high school graduates is expected to remain stable for the next five years.

Nichols was asked how lower-than-expected increases in enrollment at KU would affect the University. Nearly 600 students were projected number have enrolled this year.
Unless the number of enrollees equals
this deficit next year, a cut in the faculty

Nichols said that while the issue had not
A question concerning the outcome of suits brought by out-of-state students against universities to obtain in-state tuition was brought up on the floor.
The bill's manager, Sen. Howard Camon, D-Dev., said he believed, "that part of the alarming increase in hijacking cases in our court system to impose stiff penalties."
Thirty per cent of all KU students pay out-of-state tuition, which is more than twice as high as in-state, he said. KU could not defend the courts ruled in favor of the student claims.
The KU AAUP chapter sent a letter in
yet been decided, he expected that students over 18 who met six-month residency requirements would win the right to in-state tuition.
If this happens, the University either must cut its back budget, or increase all fees, he said. KU will make no policy until the courts have come to a decision.
Controversy began after Nichols' departure when a resolution, written by Sally Sedelow, professor of linguistics, and presented by Grant Goodman, professor of English at the AAUP study, was proposed at the first business meeting of the year for the AAUP.
The resolution asked that Nichols and Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs Ambrose Saricks, who is the KU representative on COCAO, actively involve the faculty in a revisal of the COCAO before it is sent to the Board of Regents.
early March to K-State's John Chalmers, president of COCAO, to request greater faculty participation, Goodman said. Although the request was sent too late for adoption.
To avoid duplication, the Council of Presidents turned the task of recommendations over to the deans of the schools within each institution, Ron Calgard, associate dean in the School of Architecture, who dean wanted to scrap his department.
The COCAO was created by the Council of Presidents of the six Kansas colleges and universities at the request of the Board of Board of Regents after the legislative session of 1971, when duplication of departments at Kansas schools and a possibility of tightening the budget were discussed.
The report is now in the hands of the Council of Presidents, Goodman said. They will edit it before sending it on to the Board of Regents, who will make recommendations to the legislature from its content.
Many rumors have circulated about the report, but only a minority of the AAPU members at the meeting had seen drafts of the report at any time or stage of its development. About 50 members of the 300 member organization were present at the dinner and meeting.
At the end of the year, the Federal Aviation Administration would review the program and decide whether to continue or modify it.
An unsuccessful attempt was made to table the resolution for further study. An article by Sharon Miller, in words of the resolution to read "faculty" instead of "Faculty Senate" was made. Five of the six AAUP chapters at Kansas state schools gave votes of no confidence to the Senate after a vote. Topeka April 22. The sixth vote, the Emporia AAUP, said they had received

Melcher, a member of a House subcommittee investigating the massive grain deal, said he understood Agnew asked Caspar W. Weinberger, head of the President's Office of Management and Budget, in preparation for the news conference, about the status of the wheat dispute.
"Weinberger was just trying to give Agnew a rundown on the wheat situation and what was involved with the hearings and the cases and just casually and probably flipped around so they could come on the scene and go through it thoroughly, and Agnew apparently took that as meaning the FBI was already on the case," Weinberger said, "they'd better back up the vice president."
Meanwhile, Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton,
D-Mo., asked the General Accounting
Office today to look into the U.S.-Soviet
grain sale agreement.
He requested the GAO, an arm of Congress, to investigate methods used by the Agriculture Department to administer export subsidy payments and to disseminate information about crop conditions in other countries.
Eagleton said such a study could help determine if American taxpayers were unnecessarily subsidizing Soviet wheat purchases and whether information of world supplies was made available on an equitable basis.
Sen. Paul J. Fannin, R-Ariz., told the Senate that via the testimony of the agreement was made.
The new national terminal police force would be called the Air Transportation Security Force, a follow up to the sky marshal program which has been abandoned amid charges that it was ineffective.
The security police would also screen baggage and freight. The bill authorizes $25 million a year for the force in federal money.
If a passenger declined to be searched after being flung by a device, security police would have the authority to detain and the airline could refuse him a seat.
The School of Law has not set a definite date for withdrawal from courses. The School of Law secretary said the sixth week after enrollment probably would be the deadline.
Today is the last day that students can elect the credit-no credit option.
Option forms can be picked up at the individual college offices. They must have a pass or a license. Today also is the last day that students can drop a course so that it will not appear on their transcripts. Option forms are available under Law, Education and Fine Arts.
Final Day For Pass-Fail
The School of Fine Arts has set eight weeks after enrollment as the deadline for withdrawal.
Student teachers in the School of Education who are planning to withdraw from block courses must do so by today. Students may withdraw from all other education courses up to the seventh week of classes.
Withdrawal forms can be picked up in the college offices.
