Regents to Set Procedure For Selecting Chancellor
Max Bickford, executive officer of the Kansas Board of Regents, said Tuesday that procedures for selecting a new chancellor for the University of Kansas would "depend entirely on decisions" by the University at their Sept. 16 meeting in Hays.
He said he was not certain that a successor to former Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. would be selected by the board, which used in the 1968-69 selection of Chalmers.
Bickford said that after the resignation of Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe in August 1968, the regents not only appointed a board committee to select a new chancellor, but asked representatives of the University to submit their choices to the Regents and then submitted a list of five men from which Clatman was chosen by the Regents.
BICKFORD SAID that both committees
While at KU, Chalmers effected changes in the University's administrative system. Decentralization of the Graduate School and other segments of the University was the most notable part of Chalmers' University reorganization.
consulted "knowledgeable agencies" for the names of persons available for or in training.
The petition bearing the signatures of 4,750 students and faculty members was originally intended to be released Tuesday. Instead, Kiesler said, the petition probably will be mailed by Thursday.
A PETITION supporting Chalmers to be sent to the Board of Regents is still incomplete, Charles Kiesler, chairman of the department of psychology, said.
Bickford said that to his knowledge
Chalmers had not inducted the Regents
Terrorists Slay 11 Israelis As Olympic Bloodbath Ends
MUNICH (AP) — A day that began with murder and terror by Arab commandos in Syria, two airlines departed 20 miles from Munich. Eleven Israeli Olympic contingent were reported killed at the hands of the terrorists, plunging the Olympics into
They held nine others hostage through a day of tense negotiations that ended when captors and hostages were taken by a helicopter and a plane that was to fly them to Cairo.
A band of Arab guerrillas invaded the Israeli team's quarters at the Olympic grounds before dawn Tuesday and shot down two Israelis.
Police sharpshooters opened fire on the Arabs when the helicopters landed, but missed some because of the darkness. The guerrillas who escaped the first shots their guns on the helicopters with the helpless伊斯兰ists, authorities reported.
Bavarian Interior Minister Bruno Merck said the Israeli hostages had agreed to go with the Arabs to Cairo. But he said the German authorities had not done so in death threats for them.
FOUR OF THE Palestinian commanders were killed, three were captured and one was unaccounted for, police said. One of the three commanders in the helicopter pilot was seriously wounded.
Merck said the wreckage of the helicopters was being searched in the hope that one or two of the hostages might still be alive.
"We had to take a chance and attempt to free the hostages," he said.
He said one of the guerrillas killed himself by exploding a hand grenade. It set fire to a helicopter with some of the hostages trapped inside—blindfolded, their hands bound, linked together with ropes. He said the other guerrillas fired on fire engines to keep them from reaching the blazing helicopter.
the airport battle and the slaughter of the hostages became known.
THE OLYMPIC GAMES were suspended. Officials said they would be resumed Wednesday after a memorial service for the 50 victims of an initial Arab assault. But that was before
The day that opened and closed in bloodshed injected sorrow and disgust into the atmosphere of international friendship for which the Olympic competition stands.
The terrorists were members of a Palestinian extremist group named Black September for the month in 1970 when King Hussein crushed the guerrilla movement in Jordan. They had demanded that 200 Arab commanders held in Israeli prisons be freed in return for the hostages' lives.
Merck said shooting the Arabs was difficult because they forced the helicopter pilots to stand in front of them until their leader could inspect a German Bomber 727 that was standing by at Fuerstelberg airport. Air Base for the planned flight to Cairo.
The Palestinians, armed with submachine guns, had burst into the headquarters of the Israeli Olympic contingent in an early-morning raid, killing the two Israeli and holding nine others to back up their demands.
"THERE WERE also many shadows, which made it difficult to shoot at first," he said. "When the shooting started, the team had to face hostages as they had threatened to do."
After hours of tense negotiations, they left the Israeli headquarters with hostages in tow. Heavily armed West German police escorted them.
The hostages were led into a large bus blindfolded, their hands bound. They were linked together with rope. A Canadian woman at the village said she could hear the Israeli sobbing as they were led into the bus.
THE BUS ferried the Palestinians and hostages to nearby waiting helicopters.
When the helicopters set down two men stepped out and went to the nearby Boeing 727. But firing broke out and flares shot into the sky, lighting the field.
Willy Brandt, the West German chancellor, flew to Munich and took personal charge of the negotiations that lasted through the day.
The official Middle East News Agency
said in Cairo that Bradtd had tried to arrange a response to a guerrilla demand for passage to Egypt with a personal call to Egyptian leaders.
THE AGENCY said Prime Minister Aziz Sidky rejected Brandt's request that Egypt agree to return the hostages if the guerrillas were allowed to fly to Cairo.
The commandos apparently had no trouble scaling the fence and getting into the basement.
A postman said he saw a group of men climb over the fence into the village in the darkness but he took no notice—he thought they were athletes returning home late.
A police lieutenant reported that 38 men had volunteered to storm the building. They were armed with rifles and sub-armed ones and looked buried in bullet-proof vests.
FOUR TANKS were drawn up in front of the building. Police vehicles that had been parked in a tunnel underneath were driven out, leaving the passage clear.
Thousands clustered on knolls around
the village. Sharphooters stood on the
building overlooking the Israeli quarters.
A small, bespectacled Israeli walker, Dr. Shaul Laidani, said the Arabs shot two men in the first apartment they entered, in the ward the noise and fled out a back way.
"THE TERRORISTS did not succeed in that they attempted to do, we said. That was a huge mistake."
Israeli Coach Moshe Weinberg, 33, was shot to death when the terrorists burst into his apartment after climbing the fence surrounding the village.
The second victim was identified by the education Ministry, in charge of Israel's school system.
Romano has held Israel's weightlifting championship for nine years. He was a decorator for a Tel Aviv paint company and helped by a wife and three daughters.

World's Reaction One Of Outrage, Disbelief
Disbelief, outrage and condemnation were common reactions of leaders around the world and of Arab and Israeli students and faculty to the attack on Israeli athletes Tuesday in Munich by Palestinian terrorists.
★★★
The President offered Mrs. Meir the full assistance of the U.S. government and said that he had never heard of her.
President Nixon early Tuesday expressed "a sense of deep outrage" about the killings of the two Israeli athletes at the Olympic Village.
Nixon talked by telephone Tuesday with Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir and later declared that the Arab terrorists were "international outlaws of the worst sort who will stop at nothing to accomplish their goals."
Teachers' Leader Discounts Payoff
Selden released the text of a telegram sent to Dole protesting the statement.
Selden said a statement released by Dole over the weekend was "an outrageous act" in which she allegedly
MccGovern said then that "teachers belong in schools or on a picket line but not in schools."
Dole said McGovenn had taken a $250,000 payoff in return for his statement on Aug. 14.
WASHINGTON (AP) - David Selden, president of the American Federation of Teachers, said Tuesday that Sen. Robert Dole, Republican National Chairman, lied about the federation's endorsement of George McGovin in "a blatant attempt to cover up the Watergate and fund-raising efforts with efforts to relect the President.
He said the federation decided in August
1971 to raise $1 million for political activity. One-fourth of that amount, he said, was to be contributed directly to the federation. The other, endorsed by the federation convention.
Seleden said the convention endorsed McGovenn after President Nixon declined an invitation to address it. He said McGovenn's position on teacher strikes was the South Dakota senator became the Democratic presidential nominee.
Seiden said the AFT had not yet contributed any funds to McGovern but said the federation probably would make a contribution in early October.
"To suggest that the AFT would offer and that Sen. McGovern would accept a bribe shows the line of thinking which has characterized the Republican operation in
all hostages taken during the attack were released.
this election," Selden said in his telegram to Dole.
"When the AFT convention acted in 1971 it did so because this administration during the previous three years had demonstrated its cynical disregard for teachers and children. In the year since that time, the judgment of the AFT conference has been more numerous vetoes of child welfare and education legislation." Selden said.
"This most recent attempt by you to obscure the Nixon record with a smokescreen of false charges again turns the soundness of our judgment," he said.
As Nixon arrived on a pier in San Francisco Bay to begin a tour of a proposed national park, he talked with newsmen and said he had telephoned Mrs. Meir in Tel Aviv to express sympathy on behalf of all Americans.
WHITE HOUSE press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler relayed to newsmen aboard the presidential aircraft a Nixon statement on the murderous acts at Olympic Village.
Seidman's mention of Watergate referred to the June 17 break-in and bugging incident at Democratic national headquarters in the Watergate Hotel in Washington.
Ziegler told newsmen that Nixon had said he did not see how the Olympic Games could be continued until the hostages were released.
The games were suspended after Premier Golda Meir of Israel said she couldn't believe that young men and women continued to play while citizens of Israel were being murdered and held hostage within Olympic Village.
U. N. SECRETARY-GENERAL Kurt Waldheim had appealed to the release of the Israeli hostages the terrorists held in the village.
Waldheim termed the act "dastardly" and said it was "the more shocking for having taken place at the Olympic Games, which represent one of man's oldest and most prestigious achievements, understanding and reconciliation among the peoples of all the world."
The secretary-general's statement was sent to the 123 U.N. members.
King Hussein of Jordan denounced the attack as an abhorrent crime perpetrated by "sick minds who do not belong to humanity."
IN BEIRUT the Lebanese capital, there was a feeling that the Munich attack underlined the desperation and bankruptcy of the Palestine guerrilla movement.

Clinton Dam Under Way After Long-Range Planning
BY LINDA SCHILD Kansan Staff Writer
No lake in Kansas has ever been developed in such close proximity to an urban center as Clinton Reservoir will be to Lawrence.
Planning and construction of the lake has involved city and county officials, community organizations, state personnel and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which holds overall responsibility for the project.
THE LAKE WAS funded by the Flood Control Act of 1962, and last December construction finally began on the administrative facilities. The operations building, parking lot, overlook, group shelter and utilities will be completed by November, according to Corps of Engineers assessment.
In 1953, as a result of the flood of 1951, local requests for a congressional study of the Lake Superior River resulted projects proposed was Clinton Reservoir, to be located southwest of the city. The project was approved.
Work on the dams begins today, following the 1:30 p.m. dedication of the reservoir. According to M. O. Smith, Kansas City chief of public relations for the Corps of Engineers, some skimming of the ground has already begun in preparation for the dedication.
The contract for access roads to the north of the lake was awarded to the N. R. Hamm Co. of Perry in April, and this July the $14,300,000 dam structure contract was awarded to List and Clark Co. of Overland Park.
Plans for the shoreline and surrounding area are as important as those for the lake itself. The federal government is still in the process of buying the land that will be under water, within the flood stage area and under the flood stage of the lake bordering the flood stage.

scattered throughout neighboring areas. The Corps tried to hold the buildings intact for a short while after the residents relocated, but now even the town has disappeared. Most buildings have been torn down and burned over.
ACQUISITION OF land began in the late 1960s with the relocation of the town of Richland, which will lie in the lake's flood plain. Roberts said the town was scheduled for acquisition ahead of the rest of the reservoir because the landowners living there requested the early action. Virtually all of the town's residents are gone now.
Only 50 per cent of this land has been purchased so far, Russell Roberts, assistant chief of real estate for the corps of Engineers, said Tuesday.
"Some farmers oppose our acquisition, but most agree that our prices are in line with the market."
Roberts said most landowners in Roberts area have been very receptive to the technology.
IN DECIDING what land to buy, the federal government must purchase a 300-foot "horse collar" around the flood stage, he said. This setback may be slightly wider or harrower, depending upon the terrain and the needs of fish and wildlife.
In accordance with the Fifth Amendment, the Corps tries to set prices that match values paid in open market transactions and comparative properties, Roberts said.
The extra ring of government-owned land also assures the public use of the lake's perimeter and protects the Corps from storm damage law suits. Smath said,
The jagged shoreline will stretch for 72 miles, encompassing a lake that will cover
7,000 acres under normal operations,
Smith said. After a heavy rain, the lake
would be flooded.
The shoreline will be managed by a Corps of Engineers reservoir manager. Beyond this line the lake will be owned by both public and private property.
FIVE PARKS, four run by the state of Kansas and one owned and operated by the federal government, will meet the baseline at various points around the lake.
A University of Kansas extension campus of about 300 acres will be located on the campus.
THESE REGULATIONS and the state sanitation zone law, which applies to the
Service roads will lead to public recreation areas, but because of the danger of flooding near the waterline no roads will follow the shoreline.
Problems have arisen concerning private land located near the reservoir. In anticipation of an influx of lakeside residents, on Sept. 1, the City-County Planning Commission adopted subdivision regulations to allow for orderly development of the area, Dick McClanathan, city planner, said.
Percolation doesn't work in this country," he said, "but the process of evaporation will work in septic tanks if it weren't concentrated in too small an area."
Clinton Reservoir area, prohibit septic tanks on any lots smaller than three acres, McCulhanan said. To build on smaller waters, they would have to supply a sewage system.
LAWRENCE HAS purchased part of the water supply that will be stored in the reservoir, he said. A new pumping station and pipeline at the lake will be built
Solid waste disposal around the reservoir will be handled by a new county-wide plan that is now waiting for final approval by the State Board of Health. Every county
"The City and County Planning Commissions have taken a long, hard, serious look at commercial or industrial zoning." McClanathan said. "The Reservoir will not become a long string of hamburger stands."
The Clinton region is presently zoned for agriculture or single dwellings, he said. Buildings for any other use must be approved by the City-County Planning Commission and the State board of Health prior to construction.
in Kansas is required to have such a plan in operation by 1978, McClanahan said. Cities can elect to join the counties or their own solid waste disposal programs.
A loop system of roads to carry the projected million annual visitors to and from major urban areas and Clinton has been designated by County Commission, McClanahan said.
Fire and police protection remain a problem, however.
THE TOWNSHIPS in Douglas County are required by law to provide their own fire protection. All but one, which has a contract with a nearby city, have volunteered under the rule that he will fall under the protection of the Clinton township. McClanahan said.
Police services, however, may be more difficult to provide. The County Sheriff is the only person legally qualified to provide law enforcement for the lake. McCormick's office has additional deputies; office may have to hire additional deputies to patrol the lake.
There are no present plans for Lawrence to annex the reservoir and surrounding area, McClanahan said. The city does not annex any land to its west at this time.
