KU engineers expand technical magazine
The "Kansas Engineer," a magazine published by the KU School of Engineering, will be broadened this year to cover various areas of student life.
Kyle Van, Coffeyville senior and editor, believes this year's magazine will be less technical. He said, "The average student will be able to read and understand this year's magazine."
Van said, "In the past, the 'Kansas Engineer' deviated from its original purpose—a forum for students and faculty to express opinions, problems and changes in the student and faculty."
Although past issues were of good quality, he said, "Perhaps, it was too well written and too articulate. The 'Kansas Engineer' of the past was aimed at the technical person."
Van said, "The engineering student does not have time to take the necessary courses to broaden his understanding of other fields; it is our duty to bring these fields to him."
The first edition of the magazine will be released in early November. Students and teachers, as well as administrators will

Czechs fear Dubcek loss
PRAGUE (UPI)—Fears persisted among Czechoslovakus Sunday that the embattled reform regime of Alexander Dubcek is soon to be purged despite high-level denials that the housecleaning is one of the prices to be paid for withdrawal of Warsaw Pact occupation forces.
Dubcek himself is said to be on the Moscow purge list but may escape being ousted as Communist party first secretary because of his tremendous popularity among the masses.
Rank-and-file sources in the Czechoslovak Communist party said they and their comrades are unconvinced by a speech by Gustav Husak, the tough Slovak party leader, rejecting what he called "the hysteria" over an alleged Moscow-ordered purge.
A number of party locals sent resolutions to Prague protesting any plans to change the leadership without free elections and urging an early party congress to rid the ruling committees of diehard Stalinists.

Filipinos demand Sabah
MANILA (UPI)—About 15,000 students demanding return of the Malaysian state of Sabah to Philippine control held a mock trial for U.S. State Department press spokesman Robert McCloskey Sunday and hanged him in effigy.
Similar protests were directed against Malaysian Prime Minister Tengky Abdul Rahman and Sir Michael Carver, commander of British forces in the Far East, during the two-hour rally in Manila's Araneta Coliseum.
Malaysia and the Philippines have been engaged in a bitter dispute over Sabah, a 28,000-square-mile territory on Borneo, for years.
It flared into the open with renewed violence two weeks ago when President Ferdinand E. Marcos signed a law proclaiming Philippine sovereignty over the territory which is part of the Malaysian federation.
