Campus summer news
Although most students were away for the summer, activities on campus and in the city continued unabated. The following are stories about the University of Kansas and Lawrence that occurred during the summer:
- The University of Kansas decided not to discipline people who protested at Yitzhak Rabin's April 6 speech in Hoch Auditorium because of difficulty in identifying those
- A statement released June 13 by Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, and David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said the University did not have sufficient information to proceed with disciplinary hearings.
- Mike Harper, student body president, said June 23 that beginning in January KU students would receive legal services the same way they receive health services.
- The Student Senate allocated $27,000 last year to establish a program of legal services and counsel. The legal services will cover education and information and consumer and insurance problems.
- KANAS PUBLIC Service Co. of Lawrence was cited as the guly party in the Dec. 15 explosion and fire at 747 Massachusetts St. that killed two persons.

floor and apartments on the second
floor.
A report approved June 22 by the National Transportation Safety Board said the company had failed to properly design, build and inspect and anchor a gas main in the building.
- Officials at KU said the Supreme Court ruling on the Bakke case should not have a great effect on admissions policies at professional schools at the University.

- A KANSAS STATE University student studying in France at a summer Language Institute organized by KU died July 2 of spinal meningitis.
The student, Debbie Darmon, 19, became ill July 1 and died the next day at a Paris hospital. None of the other 34 other students was affected by the disease.
- A suit by students at the University of Kansas Medical Center to stop tuition increases of as much as 250 percent was presented to students July 3. The said state of Kansas was breaking an agreement of an earlier fee schedule and violating constitutionally guaranteed freedom of interstate travel in medical school graduates to practice in Kansas.

the city's firefighters for a one-year
term, and the terms of the city's two-year propo-
sition.
The firefighters will receive an across-the-board wage increase of 6 percent. The city has agreed to pay $18 of dependent health insurance coverage and to provide an expanded program of bonuses for certain additional skills.
- KU's newest financial aid program, the Higher Education Loan Program, may have the largest distribution of funds of the University's student aid programs by the 1978-79 school year, a spokesman from the office of financial aid said July 24.
