Legal aid to low-income accused
(Continued from page 1)
$2,000 to $3,000, “if there were no complications. If there were an extended defense, who knows how much money would be involved.” Appeals could significantly increase the cost, he said.
About 25 persons attended the Legal Defense Fund meeting Saturday, Horowitz said. "They were primarily individuals, but have affiliations with various
Reactions to the 1968 presidential election were given in a panel discussion entitled, "Election '68: Post Analysis" yesterday on KANU radio.

The discussioners said Republicans have not significantly gained since the 1960 election. However, some of the kingpins of the Democratic party gave their support to Gov. Wallace in this election, weakening the Democrat's power.
Much emphasis was placed on the individual image of the candidates who ran this year. One panel member said the candidates and their images were too misunderstood, which was a major contribution to the voters' apathetic attitude.
Concerning Nixon and his image, it was generally felt that he does not have the overwhelming magic with the people that such men as John or Robert Kennedy had. None of the candidates really had such an image, a panel member contended.
Concerning revamping national conventions, one panel member suggested the conventions should be more representative yet with fewer people. Nominees should be chosen first and then the adoption of the platform can be made to coincide with the nominees, they said.
Participating in the discussion were: John Grumm, professor of political science; Donn Parson, associate professor of speech and drama; Calder Pickett, professor of journalism; Lloyd Spoonholtz, assistant professor of history; and Thomas Weiss, assistant professor of economics.

groups on campus and in town," he said.
Horowitz said the longer range goals of the Fund are to provide legal aid for financially deprived Lawrence residents. He said aid was needed at both the preliminary hearing and trial of accused persons.
Since Kansas has no grand jury system, the decision to bind a person over for trial is made by a judge at a "probable cause hearing." Horowitz said. "There is no arrangement to provide a lawyer for a person charged at arraignment," he said.
If financial aid to secure a lawyer were available to low-income accused, Horowitz said, many could possibly be freed without the time and expense of a trial.
Horowitz said although the court "is obliged to provide a lawyer if a person is bound over
for trial," the court-appointed lawyer may not be the best available.
"A person has to take his chances as to whether he gets an admirable defense, a passable defense, or an inferior defense," he said.
The Legal Defense Fund may also be able to help low-income accused post the 10 per cent bondsman's fee, he said.
Horowitz said most of the money for the fund will probably come from private citizens and local organizations.
Any money left over from the Harrison's defense will be used to meet the group's long-range goals, he stated, although meeting short-range goals is now most important.
"The charge against Mr. Harrison is extensive and a good defense is immediately necessary," Horowitz said.

Nixon intends to make his own foreign policy, as seems likely, he might prefer a Secretary of State without too many views of his own.
Another possible choice for that post is New York financier C. Douglas Dillon, who was Undersecretary of State during the Eisenhower administration. Dillon, highly regarded in the capital by leaders of both parties, later served as Treasury Secretary in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. Dillon has told personal friends he doesn't want to be Secretary of State, but the consensus here is that he would serve if asked.

Finch is one of Nixon's oldest and closest friends, and was a principal campaign adviser. He is considered a virtual certainty to be named to some cabinet post, perhaps Attorney General.
Also mentioned as possible candidates for Attorney General are Evelle Younger, district attorney of Los Angeles County, and Charles Rhyne, a classmate of Nixon at Duke Law School, and former president of the American Bar Association.
Should Nelson Rockefeller not be named Defense Secretary, his brother David might be tapped as Secretary of the Treasury. David Rockefeller is chairman of the board of the Chase Manhattan Bank.
Other Possibilities
Here are some of the names that are being mentioned among Nixon aides as possible candidates for other cabinet posts:
Commerce—Gov. George Romney of Michigan; Democratic Sen. George Smathers of Florida, an old friend of Nixon who would contribute bipartisan flavor to the cabinet.
Housing and Urban Development—Mayor John V. Lindsay of New York.
Health, Education & Welfare—Sen. Edward Brooke, R-Mass., only Negro member of the U.S. Senate, is mentioned as an ideal secretary of HEW, but might be reluctant to leave the Senate.
Interior-William Penn Mott, head of the California Department of Parks and Recreation; Gov. Dan Evans of Washington.
Agriculture—Rep. Albert H. Quie, R-Minn.; former Rep. Clifford G. McIntire, R-Raine.

composed of three members of the ASC and three from the University Senate will try to resolve the differences in the codes.
The revised code then will be returned to the ASC and University Senate for their approval. If the code is passed in both bodies, it must be submitted to an all-student vote and a faculty referendum before going into effect.
Von Ende speculated that the student vote would probably come in late January or early February. However, the vote could come sooner.
If the code goes into effect before Christmas, special elections would be held to fill the 60 vacancies created on the new Student Senate created by the Senate Code. The 35 ASC members already in office would remain as members of the new body.
Should the referendum be delayed until after the Christmas holidays, ASC would continue to function in its present form until the spring elections.
