His book critical of Darwin
KUProf Punctures Darwin's Reputation

A recently published book by H. Lewis McKinney, professor of history, suggests that at least part of Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection was not "corrected" in his work, attributed to its original author.
Wallace, who McKinney says was one of the greatest English naturalists of the 19th century, is overshadowed by Darwin.
One such notation of Darwin's reads "can this be true?" he asked himself that the idea was true because he printed the same idea as he did.
1N 1855, McKinney says, Darwin evidently took notes on an article written by Wallace. McKinney has traveled to Wallace's home in Eingland and has seen the Wallace paper from which Darwin took notes. The indication that Darwin read the article is found in the margins of the paper. Darwin made notations of his own.
Women's Coalition Plans Self-Defense Education
The rape victim counseling program is designed to help rape victims through the legal, medial, psychological problems of rape.
Wallace in the case was not highly regarded by McKinsey said, because many of the theories he developed were contradictory to the standards of science.
"THE COUNSELORS will not be allowed to be a victim to the victim and go with the victim to the hospital and the police," said Peggy Levy.
The book, "Wallace and Natural Selection," is the result of a research project agent digging up information controversial English naturalist, Alfred Russell Wallace, who McKinney claims was responsible for the discovery.
The programs were discussed Thursday night at a meeting in the Student Activities Center, at which approximately 70 women.

The new self defense program is devised so that members of the student body can take karate and self defense through funds provided by the Student Senate will be able to seek instruction in a seeking instruction free of charge. The free instructions begin sometime next semester.
It was announced at the meeting that a course, Myths of Women in Literature, to be taught by Elizabeth Schultz, associate professor of English, be offered in the Spring学期.

A self-defense program and a athletic competition program are top the list of programs to be initiated this school year by the University of Kansas Women's Soccer team.
Another anti-rape project recently established is the "block-sister" program, in which posters will be displayed in home locations that victims will know where to go in the event of an assault.

ANOTHER PROGRAM this year will be an abortion, birth control and problem pregnancies. The Women's Center asks their own counselors answering the phone in the Women's Center during business hours for women to make sure they get a referral.
A speakers bureau which took members of the coalition into groups last year to talk about women's liberation will again be hearing members talks about the women's liberation movement.
The feminist studies program at KU, a result of action taken by
the February Sisters when mem-
erate of their hometowns in East Asia Studies building last February, will also be a prominent resource for Coali-
programming.

tions and pregnancy tests. Birth control pamphlets distributed by Women's Coalition last year will again be distributed.
Headgear Required For Motorcvclists
Motorcycle riders in Kansas may find themselves running afoul of new motorcycle safety regulations that became law July
Kansas law now requires that all motorcycle riders and passengers wear protective headgear that compiles with standards established by the state highway commission. The new law also protects protective headgear only for riders and passengers under 21.
That ordinance was published in October 1971.
Richard Stanwick, Lawrence police chief, said the city police were enforcing the new headgear regulation, which is supported by a city ordinance modelled after the Texas Ordinance for Kansas Cities."
The new law also requires motorcycle operators to wear protective eye devices approved by the Commission unless their motorcycle are equipped with wind screens. Seats and footrests are required

Another such peculiarity occurred when Wailia made the initial discovery of the theory of natural selection.

MKINNEN found evidence to indicate that Wallace claimed he made his discovery on Ternata, a mountain in the Magdalena Islands. The island was considered extinct because it had no antlers or wings and explorers as Sir Francis Drake

nation on March 9, 1858. McKinney found a postmark of a letter sent on the same mail ship as he received it. The Wallace's letter must have reached Darwin was June 3, 1858. BUT DARWIN claimed he did not receive the letter until June 6, weeks after its actual arrival.
The questions facing historical scientists now are why did they receive the letter, and more important, what did he do with it.
Wallace sent a letter of his discovery to Darwin from Ter-

McKinney made it clear that he had nothing against Darwin, but that he thought Wallace was much more interesting.

McKinney explained that Wallace was not popular with his public because he delved into his public spirit, spiritualism, which were so unconventional they were shunned altogether. The issues examined by Wallace, McKinney said, probably would be sneered at but not as hastily rejected as they were during Wallace's time.
"THEOSE manuscript materials are going to show us fantastic anatomy, and we know all of biology and every one of those things that Wallace dealt with." McKinney said.
he's drab as hell," McKinney said.
McKinney noted that Wallace was a wanderer who traveled extensively, writing books, journals, and articles. Wallace was well matched with the world than most national artists are, "Knain said."
Wallace and not know what he said," McKinney commented
McKINNEY said that when he started searching for the manuscripts, no one knew where to find the material. He said he then compiled a list of places to begin turning up material.
McKinney began working on Wallace while investigating some facets of evolutionary biology. McKinney began asking questions that took him back into college and his manuscripts. "People were not asking."

McKinney's search for Wallace manuscripts has led him all over the United States and to several different parts of the world He has been to England three times, living with the grandsons of Wallace. McKinney plans another trip to England at Christmas.
Paying attention to time, not space, was Lebanese concept for his machine, which makes use of a computer. By typing the instructions their correct sequence from the upper left hand corner to the lower right hand corner and pressing a key to signify the letter is complete, the computer recognizes that their correct square formation.
Difficulty in mechanical writing comes from the problem of keeping a character, no matter how many strokes it contains, must be equal in size to those surrounding it. If the strokes are made making each of the strokes available in different sizes to each other, each imaginary square to be filled.
McKinney is working on a biography of the man that contracted to have a published. "It's fun to do a biography that is an excuse," McKinney said. "Meekinny."
Devising a typewriter to print more than 40,000 Chinese characters has confounded inexperienced users. Most had too many keys to be efficient. Each key signified a character. However, Leban's keys are fewer in number, since they represent parts of characters.

Leban was granted a U.S. patent for the machine in 1967, but he canceled it. A second patented July 2, 1968. It is still in effect.

Chinese is the native language of 800 million people. Yet Chinese-language type writers, or experimental type, are unknown.

Leban has talked to many private business firms about producing the machine. No agreement has been reached.
As early as 1906, a Chinese American, Kang Ye Wei, stated would have a typewriter on the market shortly. His confidence, and that of many other early inventors, waned in the face of technical problems. Leban's use of computer solved many of these.
THE TYPEWRITER will be approximately three inches wide. Chinese, could handle the additional symbols in the Japanese and Mandarin languages.
