Egypt,Israel reach 'framework for peace'
WASHINGTON (AP)—President Carter announced to the world last night that a "framework for peace" in the Middle East had been reached at his summit meeting in Anwar, Egypt's Anawr Sadat and Israel's Nassim Benghazi.
Flanked by President Sadat and Prime Minister Begin, Carter said documents to be signed by the two leaders "will provide that Israel may live in peace within secure borders."
Carter said Israel would withdraw its forces from the West Bank of the Jordan River and would permit the Palestinian Arabs living under Israeli occupation to determine their own future.
ON THE SNAIL tront, Carter said. Israel would withdraw its forces quickly. He said that would result in establishment of diplomatic relations between the two flees in the 30-year conflict.

Carter's appearance with Sadat and Begin at the White House was nationally televised.
The U.S. president, looking back on 13 days of "long negotiation," acknowledged that at times the talks
faltered and it seemed that the patience of Sadat and Bein would run out.
But, Carter said, the results exceeded all expectations.
Sadat, speaking next at a ceremony in the White House East Room, thanked Carter for fulfilling his duties.
there was no point in recounting the saga of their differences during the negotiations.
Sadat expressed gratitude to Carter for his "spirit and dedication" and concluded with a prayer that the "spirit of Camp David" would mark a new chapter in Middle East history.
BEGIN, IN a tribute to Carter, said "He worked harder than our outfathers did in building the school."
But before there is peace, Begin said, Israel and Egypt have three months of negotiations ahead to reach a deal.
Carter said the framework can be used later by Israel to negotiate peace treaties with other Arab states.
Turning to Sadat, the Israeli prime minister said
Senate Major League Leader Robert C. Byrd said Carter asked to explain the agreements to a joint session of the Senate.
The agreement on the Slims comes closer to being a final settlement, the officials said. It provides that Israel eventually will restore Egyptian sovereignty over its territories and will make peace and establish normal relations with Israel.
FORTY ISSUES remain unresolved after the summit, including the ultimate fate of Israeli settlements in the Sinai and the nature of the final arrangement for the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
The Sinai agreement calls for phased withdrawal of Israeli troops, starting as soon as six months from
last night and the return of Sinai airfields to Egyptian civil control.
It commits Israel and Egypt to agreeing to a treaty within three months. A major Israeli withdrawal is called for three to nine months after the treaty is signed.
AFTER THE first Israeli withdrawal, the two countries agreed they will establish normal relations.
The final Israel withdrawal is to take place two to three years after the signing of the peace treaty. The treaty also is designed to provide security zones for Israeli troops as well as a program of arms reduction in the area.
The major disagreement on the Sinai is the fate of Israeli settlements in captured territory. The officials said Egypt demands that Israel remove the settlements.
much less specific, reflecting the difficulties in those areas.
In that agreement, officials said, Egypt and Israel agree to a five year transition period during "the inhabitants will attain full autonomy," but Israel will be able to station troops in specified bases in the West Bank and Gaza areas.
THE FRAMEWORK leaves unsettled the issues of the final borders between Israel and the new Palestinian entity and whether that entity will be a state, an association of Jordan or something else.
The countries involved will invite Jordan to join their negotiations, along with representatives of the Palestinians living in the two territories. Jordan also will be invited to play a "security rule" during the final hotel committed to establishing no new settlement or territories during the negotiations, officials said.

IHP enrollment, funds drop

A drastic drop in enrollment and budget of the Integrated Humanities Program this year are direct results of actions taken by University of Kansas administrators. Dennis Quinn, director of the program, said Friday.
"The reason we are suffering this decline is primarily that the University administration has tried to make us invisible," he said. "And they have almost succeeded."
Enrollment in IHP, a program that offers students a traditional approach to the development of Western civilization, has been used for the past three years, Quinn said.
This year, however, IHP experienced the largest drop in its history—more than 60 percent.
There are 27 freshmen enrolled in the program. 31h semester, compared with the 25th.
The first and third six-credit-hour semesters of IHP are taught in the fall. The second and fourth semesters are taught in the spring.
FUNDING for the program has steadily decreased during the past three years. This year, however, IHP's office budget was half in half, money allocated for student loan was reduced by two-thirds and the program lost an office and a secretary, Quinn said.
Any time enrollment in the program drops, he said. University administrators can say, "Well, since the enrolment has been reduced, your budget—we can take away your secretary."
Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor,
said that when enrollment in a program
dropped there usually was a decline in the
budget.
Freshman enrollment has been dropping, Quinn said, because administrative decisions have forbidden IHP to mail information to incoming freshmen and also
"They present their views as if they were the views of Plato. A professor has the right
"We absolutely depend on getting students when they are freshmen," Quinn said. "These first two years are the years before a student chooses a major and he has room in his curriculum to take these courses."
HE DESCRIBED IHP as an introduction to the humanities in which questions, such as What is philosophy? and What is poetry? are answered through reading great authors.
have excluded IHP from participating in freshman orientation during the summer.
Barnet said, "It is supposed to be an introduction to the classics, when actually it is an introduction to the professors' own points of view.
However, the Rev. Vern Barnet, a minister of a Unitarian Church in Overland Park and spokesman for a group that opposes the use of masses of what the content of the class includes.
to hold his own view, and any professor has the right to teach that view, but they do not have the right to teach that view as if it were also Plato's view, because that isn't "true."
Barnet, chairman of a group called the Committee for Academic and Religious Liberty, has sent out several flyers criticizing IHP because, the committee says, the content of the class is based on the views of only the professors.
QUINN IS the only full-time faculty member of the program. John Senior, professor of English, teaches 12 hours of the program and gives free tutoring to Franklyn Nickel, professor of English, taught in the program last year, but is only volunteering time to the program.
Quinn said the IHP courses were aimed at exposing various opinions of Plato and other Western civilization authors to a student at the beginning of his college career so the
Regents OK renovation projects

The Kansas Board of Regents gave its approval Friday to several projects at the University of Kansas, including renovation of the Medical Center and at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
In their first meeting of the new school year, the Regents approved the architectural programs for the $8.2 million renovation of Watson Library and the renovation of Summerfield and Lindley halls.
The Regents requested that the State Building Commission recommend architectural consulting firms for all three projects.
THE WATSON Library project, which will be funded over the next three years, calls for rearranging the floor plan of the space for more efficient use of present space.
All three programs received preliminary funding in the last legislative session, but needed the approval of the Regents before funds for construction could be requested
The ventilation and lighting of Watson will be reworked and the structure will be made to match the original design.
The Regents approved three projects at the Med Center. Approval was given to the building of a 12,000-ft² fortified Auditorium at a cost of $100,000, and to renovate the basement of Sudler Hall, which will cost $25,000. After remodeling, the building will be used to house computer equipment.
In Summerfield Hall the installation of solar windows and remodeling of space formerly used to house the computation center constitutes most of the $240,000 budget.
The $2 million renovation of Lindley Hall consists of a general reworking of the building, in addition to the installation of central air conditioning and the remodeling of space for the geography and geology departments.
Half of the money needed to complete the project has been requested in the 1980 KU budget request. Watson renovations are scheduled to be completed by 1981.
PLANS TO award a separate contract for the construction of a covered walkway between the proposed parking garage and the new clinical facility at the Med Center also were approved by the Regents. The estimated cost of the walkway is $189,566.
A controversy has been waging for several years concerning a Kansas City, Kan. regulation that the Med Center obtain building permits for construction on campus. State law prohibits state agencies from hiring municipalities for building permits.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes told the Regents he had a sent letter to Mayor Bill Reardon of Kansas City, Kan., suggesting several compromises.
The problems KU has been having with municipal authorities in Kansas City, Kan. have included a long-term lack of
UNDER DYKE's proposal, city inspectors would be allowed on Med Center construction sites and the city would be required of any construction directly affecting it.
Dykes said yesterday that he thought Reardon would be receptive to his ideas.
“Mr. Reardon has always been very cooperative, very helpful and very reasonable,” Dykes said. “We just can’t do thins we don’t have the nower to do.”
In other action taken Friday, the Regents gave their approval to an agreement of academic cooperation between KU and the University of Benin in Benin City, Nigeria.
Thomas Rawson, research officer for the Regents, said that the schools had submitted preliminary statistics showing a decrease in enrollment throughout the state about 500 students and a decrease in full-time-equivalency enrolment of nearly 600.
In order that the Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art might receive national accreditation, the Regents approved a rule to require all artworks to be integral and permanent part of the University.
Also approved was a motion to name the new clinical facility at the Med Center after Simone Bianchi, the physician who donated the patient's land on which the Med Center was built.
THE REGENTS approved the purchase of four vehicles for the Lawrence campus and approved the acceptance of two vehicles for the University. The university authorized the Med Center to award Mill Santee and Associates of Kansas City, Mo., the contract for food services at the new campus.
The Regents were scheduled to discuss preliminary enrollment figures at the Friday meeting, but delayed discussion until the October meeting.
KU broadcasts ruled tax-exempt
By BARB KOENIG and CAROLINE TROWBRIDGE
The University of Kansas Athletic Corporation will not have to pay taxes on revenue from radio and television broadcasting. The University general council, said yesterday.
A. W. McCaness, district director of the Internal Revenue Service, sent a letter to Craig McCoy, treasurer of KUAC and comproller of KU, stating that radio and television broadcasts of KU sports events would be tax-exempt. The letter arrived Friday.
The IRS chose KU, Southern Methodist University, Texas Christian University and the Cotton Bowl Association in early 1977 as part of a test case to determine whether receipts from radio and television broadcast athletic events were subject to taxation.
The RRS audited KUAC in spring 1977, and the audit has been waiting for a definitive conclusion.
The IRS investigation centered on its contention that broadcasting revenues were not related to the schools' primary function of education, and, therefore, should be
The schools and corporations involved argued that selling games over the air was no different from selling tickets at the stadium gates.
KU, along with all colleges and universities in the United States, pays no taxes on gate receipts from intercollegiate athletic events.
Had the IRS decision been approved, all colleges and universities in the nation would be required to accept
Davis said he thought the IRS decision meant that radio and television audiences added to the educational value of intercollegiate athletics.
"The radio and television audiences are a mere extension of the audience in the stadium," Davis said. "The these audiences add higher drama and wider visibility to the sport, which adds to the educational experience of the endower."
Don Baker, KU sports information director, said he thought the broadcast revenue must not be taxed because it was not based on sales from already tax-exempt gate receipts.
Davis said that if the decision had been against KU, the University would have had to pay taxes on broadcasts from 1974 to the present.
Although Baker said he could not give an exact figure of how much the taxes would have cost the University, he estimated that "hundreds of thousands of dollars" to IRS.
"It would have wiped out our reserve fund," Baker said.
