ALWAYS ON THE GO
Marvin and Monetta McIntosh, the commuting couple, talk with Mrs. Marjorie Owens, Kansas City junior, on campus during one of their "typical" 21-hour days.
Soviet-Czech pact signed
PRAGUE (UPI) -Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin and Czechoslovak Premier Oldrich Cernik yesterday signed the Kremlin-ordered treaty allowing Soviet troops to occupy Czechoslovakia on the same "temporary" basis that has kept them in neighboring Hungary since 1956.
The treaty allows the Soviets legallyyy to garrison on Czechoslovak soil reduced numbers of the troops that invaded the nation Aug. 20-21 to put the
KP & L faces lawsuit
TOPEKA (UPI)—A damage suit for nearly $1 million has been filed against the Kansas Power and Light Co. and a Topeka shopping center on behalf of 14-year-old Kim Ratliff of Topeka.
His mother, Mrs. Yvonne Robertson, fitted the suit in Shawnee County District Court, asking $750,000 punitive and $150,000 sustained damages as a result of an incident Aug. 3, 1967.
The boy came into contact with a 7,000-volt power line while walking on the roof of the shopping center. He was burned severely and eventually lost his right hand.
brakes on Prague's liberal reform movement.
The Soviet news agency Tass reported from Prague that the treaty spelled out the terms for "the temporary stay" of Soviet troops. A similar "temporary" agreement stationed sizable Soviet forces in Hungary after the 1956 anti-Communist uprising and they are still there.
Friendly Talk
Tass said Kosygin had a friendly, comradely talk with President Ludvig Svoboda at Hradcany Castle, after arriving to sign the treaty.
Kosygin arrived from Moscow, however, to a formally correct and publicly cold reception at Rudzyne Airport.
Kosygin and Premier Cernik of Czechoslovakia, both looking grim, stood shoulder-to-shoulder through formal ceremonies that included the national anthems of both nations. Alexander Dubcek, the Communist party first secretary was not present.
Czechoslovak citizens largely ignored the cavalcade of Soviet official limousines that carried Kosygin's delegation into downtown Prague.
Even at the final hour, Czechoslovak newspapers emphasized
Brighter Side
the brighter side of the treaty—that the bulk of Warsaw Pact occupying forces will be withdrawn and a contingent of between 23,000 and 70,000 left behind to protect the nation from alleged German revenge-seekers.
Rude Pravo, the official Czechoslovak Communist party newspaper, defied Soviet-enforced censorship to criticize Soviet press articles.
Cernik returned to Prague ahead of Kosygin yesterday after two days of Kremlin negotiations to hammer out the terms of the occupation-and-withdrawal treaty.
Kosygin gled a delegation that included Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Grokyoko, Defense Minister Andrei Grechko and First Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily Kuznetsov.
Dubeek, the party first secretary whose name is synonymous with the reform movement, was absent, possibly because he does not hold government office. The official Czechoslovak news agency CTK said he attended a later state reception at Hradcany Castle.
CTK said the treaty provides for the imminent withdrawal of the bulk of Warsaw Pact forces.
KC couple commutes to begin 21-hour day

Kansan Staff Writer
Marvin and Monetta McIntosh get up at 6:30 a.m., take their 2-year-old son to the babysitter and drive 38 miles to Lawrence for their 8:30 classes—the start of a 21-hour day for the KU couple.
Marvin is enrolled in 13 hours of pre-medicine and Monetta, in 14 hours of special education. They are in class until 1:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday and until 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday.
He works until 2:30 a.m. and is usually home by 3 a.m.-just in time to get $ _{3/2} $ hours sleep before starting another 21-hour day.
Returning to Kansas City after classes, they pick up the baby and go home. Marvin eats and reports to the assembly line at General Motors by 6 p.m.
Study time?—he makes time during coffee breaks, lunch and stops in the assembly line. Marvin also has two free hours three days a week while waiting for Monetta to finish classes.
"Sometimes I just manage to read a paragraph or two between cars on the line, but you would be surprised how they add up after eight hours," Marvin said.
Monetta does most of her studying while Marvin is at work, between taking care of the baby and household duties.
"We've waited and worked a long time to get the opportunity to finish our education and I think that we're doing the right thing. We know that it will not be easy but we decided to make whatever sacrifices are necessary to reach our goals," she said.
Marvin is sure that Monetta will graduate first. When she does, he said, she will work and help him through medical school.
