THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 84th Year, No.72 The University of Kansas—Lawrence, Kansas Last Issue Of the Kansan Until Jan.22 Wednesday, December 12, 1973 Panel Is Mum On Nominations For New Post By BOB SIMISON And BETH RETONDE Kunanuan Staff Recorner In accordance with established procedures, the search committee for an executive vice chancellor won't indicate what the decision will until the chancellor makes a final decision. That means most of the University will get its first idea of who will be making day-to-day policy for the Lawrence campus only after it is in mid-January from the semester break. And this, says Chancellor Archie R. Dykes, as it is should be. Dykes agreed yesterday in a press conference with a stand taken by Chancellor Emeritus Raymond Nichols, chairman of the committee. Nichols' position is that the search committees should keep the names confidential. ninemines, some of whom might not want their candidacies known. Dykes agreed and argued that a low level of publicity would insure the committee's And Dykes and Nichols discount the suggestion that making known the names under consideration would allow input from the University community. Dykes said he did not come from letters of nomination and from persons who work with the candidates. Meanwhile, Nichols says he expects before the Dec. 20 deadline more nominations than the dozen and a half so far submitted. He speculates that the committee could receive as many as 50 nominations including duplications. The first step, Nichols says, will be for the committee to contact those nominated to the position. At its second meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, the committee will determine whether to proceed with the project.

Voters Turn Down Airport Improvement BY ROY CLEVENGER Kansas Stuff Register Kansan Staff Reporter Lawrence voters yesterday defeated by two to 1 at a proposed $130,000 airports. More than 71 per cent of the 5,867 residents who voted opposed a proposal for the city to sell $64,000 in general obligation bonds to finance its share of the improvement costs. Backers and opponents of the bond said last night that they thought the key factors in the defeat were the energy crisis, inflation, the need for a new bridge over the Kansas River and voter inability to see the benefits of improved airport facilities. The bond proposal failed to receive a majority in any of the city's 26 precincts. The narrowest margin was in Ward 2, Precinct 4, which includes the University of Kansas residence halls. In that precinct, the proposal lost by 53 per cent to 147 per cent. Slightly more than 20 per cent of the 28,014 registered voters in Lawrence voted. COUNTY CLERK DELBERT Matha had predicted that 7,000 to 8,000 students would Matha said last night that voting had been light all day. "We knew we had an uphill fight, but I really disappointed it failed," said Charles Haverty, chairman of the Airport for Lawrence Committee. He said that the timing for the election was bad and that the timing for the election was bad and that the public was too concerned with the energy crisis and the economy to see the benefits of the airport expansion. "Good grief I stunned," Jan Roskam, engineer of aerospace engineering and space technology and member of the Air Force, said when told of the election results. "I believe the community is getting what it deserves," he said. "I wanted a bad airport, and it's got one. People are remarkably short-sighted." Dykes Says Slump Would Hurt KU Bv ERIC MEYER By ERIC METER Kansas Staff Reporter A projected nationwide recession next year may necessitate cuts in the University of Kansas legislative budget, Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said yesterday. Dykes said the energy crisis had caused most of the problems. "I'm not nearly as optimistic about the budget as I was three weeks ago," he said. "The estimates of expected revenue under the legislature aren't as good as they were." increase for KU and the other state-supported schools." Dykes said Kansas' economy probably would escape the recession. "Economists now predict the economy will turn downward early in the next year," he said. "Uncertainty about what the shortage of fuel means to the economy of Kansas has made officials and legislators reluctant to commit themselves to a budget "The state's economy is so heavily agriculturally oriented and the demand for improved agricultural products around the world is so great that I think the government will see to it that agriculture gets fuel for food production." Dykes said. But Kansas' economy is also heavily dependent on the aircraft industry, and Dykes said the impact in this area couldn't be determined yet. James Bibb, state budget director, recently recommended only half of the salary and operating expenses increases requested by the Board of Regents. Bibb said yesterday that “prospects for optimism are slim or none.” "The energy crisis has had and will have an effect on our decisions about the budget," he said. "There's a great deal of uncertainty about the economy now. But we had that ahead of the energy crisis." It just added another element of uncertainty. Bibb said state revenue next year would be no higher than projections, if it were even higher. "There's a good chance Kansas can weather much of this economic storm," he said. "That's why our predictions aren't as good as they are for the climate, we're forecasting for the entire economy." upheld by Gov. Robert B. Docking, Bibb said Docking's statements to student leaders Monday night probably indicated what would happen. The relegs were justified in being optimistic last spring when they requested the 10 per cent increases, Bibb said, but prospects have "dropped materially" since Although he was hesitant to predict whether his recommended cuts would be "I hate to sound like I'm saying, 'We told you so.' Bibb said, "but we aren't too far off what we predicted about the economy a year ago." DVKES SAID some of the disparity in mob's recommendations and the regional importance. Smokers Still Smoking in Class By JEFFREY STINSON Student smokers are still smoking and nonsmokers choking in University of Kansas classrooms despite numerous attempts to prohibit the practice. Kansan Staff Reporter The University Council voted down a policy recommendation Thursday that the university should require its faculty to corridors and restrooms not covered with carpeting; areas set aside for food service and food consumption; seminar rooms provided no member of the seminar room voices objection and provided that adequate ash and butt receptacles are available." The council will deal with the topic again in its meeting tomorrow. There are 32 signs in Wescoe Hall that "All Right, Where's the Fire?" state "Positively No Smoking." By 12 p.m. yesterday, there were 66 cigarette bullets in the 10 receptacles that line the hallways on the building's second floor. There were about one-half as many butts on the building's classroom floors. In the past, students who wanted to smoke in class were required to obtain written permission from both the dean of their school and the executive secretary of the university. There is the "truck driver method" of swiping into the front shirt pocket with one hand and putting the pack to the mouth. When the pack is returned to the pocket, a cigarette is firmly mounted between the teeth at the corner of the smoker's mouth. The presence of matches appears from the same pocket and the cigarette is lit by the same hand. In 1972, smoking regulations were altered and individual teachers were responsible for finding their own methods of alleviating smoking in classrooms. cauty sisters are our prime concern." Dykes said. "I think they will end up somewhere between the 5 per cent recommended by Mr. Bibb and the 10 per cent we recommended. Exactly where it will fall, we don't know." A walk along the hallways of Wescoe when classes are in session will indicate that student smokers are deft at the art of smoking and without catching the teacher's attention. This method is so swift that only vigilant teachers can detect it before the student has been exposed. There is the "sneaky smoker," who always sits at the back of the classroom. See SMOKING Back Page Dykes said the final budget recommendations to the Kansas Legislature would probably reflect some of this increase. "Student leaders were told by Gov. Docking that there would be adjustments upward in faculty salaries," Dykes said. He added that the number one priority and greatest concern." No actions about Bibb's recommendations will be taken until after Docking submits his final budget. Dykes in additional talks with legislators are planned. RECENT COURT RULINGS about student residency requirements are also causing budgetary problems for the University, Dykes said. "If we continue to have a fall off in student; who have to pay out-of-state tuition," he said, "it's likely that in-state tuition will increase. Michigan had to raise in-state fees. It could happen in Kansas, but we want to keep it from happening." Dukes said the Board of Regents was studying a proposal to replace differential between its and out-of-state fees with a plan that would make the faculty, who graduate from Kansas high schools. This would result in the same kind of fee differential as before, he said, but students from outside Kansas who move here and establish legal residency wouldn't be able to take advantage of the program as they can now. "I don't know how high student fees might get," Dykes said. "But we're committed to keeping student fees from Kansas residents as low as possible." Mert Buckley, Wichita senior and student body president, said he was surprised at the defeat because he had seen no major opposition to the proposal. He said he wasn't surprised at the low voter turn out and that he thought KU ★★ ELECTION RESULT ELECTION RESULTS WARD 1 Precincts 1 and 4 99 29 Argentine 66 20 per cent WARD 2 Precincts 2 and 3 127 69 228 -64 43 WARD 3 Precincts 1 199 188 159 -73 72 WARD 4 Precincts 1 133 149 159 -63 59 WARD 5 Precincts 1 114 130 159 -63 59 WARD 6 Precincts 1 190 268 159 -63 59 WARD 7 Precincts 1 39 72 168 -69 71 WARD 8 Precincts 1 69 124 168 -72 72 WARD 9 Precincts 1 56 183 168 -77 72 WARD 10 Precincts 1 90 167 168 -77 72 WARD 11 Precincts 1 91 303 168 -69 68 WARD 12 Precincts 1 and 2 89 67 168 -81 84 WARD 13 Precincts 1, 4 and 5 87 363 168 -94 80 WARD 14 Precincts 1 and 2 207 207 88 -80 80 WARD 15 Precincts 1 63 254 168 -80 80 WARD 16 Precincts 1 9 31 168 -79 71 **Absolute Ballots** 1 641 14,466 -71 71 ★★★ students didn't played a significant role in the decision. Mayor Nancy Hambleton and Barkley Clark, Lawrence City Commissioner and associate dean of law, said they thought concern over the energy crisis had caused the defeat. "Most people can't see the benefits for them," Clark said. Douglas County Commissioner I.J. Stoneback, who had opposed the proposal, said residents had placed the improvements low on their lists of priorities. He said he was surprised at the margin of defeat. "People are concerned with the energy crisis, the new bridge we need over the Kansas River and the need for a public transportation system for Lawrence," he said. "But when that happens, we may not be able to get the federal funds we could have gotten this time." Rekkam said. "Lawrence said we had been in the next time it may cost us the full share." Several people who backed the proposal said they thought a similar bond proposal would be voted on in two to three years and that this proposal would pass. go before a grand jury next week Investigation of Kent State shootings will be held in news work Police may thoroughly search anyone under lawful arrest, Supreme Court ruled Ast. Atty. Gen. J. Stanley Pottinger, who renewed the investigation of the 1970 shootings four months ago, announced last night that a Cleveland grand jury was indicted. The action reversed a decision of former Attert, Gen John N. Mitchell in August 1971 to drop the investigation without presenting evidence to a Pottinger said his division of civil rights had received information not available to the FHI when it compiled an 8,500-page report of its findings. He added that FHI had not been fully aware of the findings. The importance of the decision, on a 6-3 vote, rests on the use of evidence found in such searches and the operation of the countervictim, "exclusiveionary search." "It is the fact of the lawful arrest which establishes the authority to search, and we hold that in the case of a lawful custodial arrest a full search of the person isn't only an exception to the warrant requirement of the North Arm Act, but also a rule that amend-Front Law william H.

Despite the opposition of hundreds of Santa Barbara residents, the three members of the State Lands Commission announced in advance that they would vote in favor of renewing exploratory drilling in state-controlled areas of the Santa Barbara channel. The Department of the Interior has indicated that because of the energy crisis it may permit exploratory drilling again on federal leases in the channel.
