Equipment Lag Threatens TV
Bv JEFFREY STINSON
If the radio, television and film department doesn't receive about $50,000 of new equipment this year, it will become a radio and film department (minus TV) next year.
And Kim Mandle, Wichita senior and TV major, will have to go to a graduate school outside Kansas to obtain the basic television production knowledge he needs to get a job.

The department needs new color telecine equipment to replace its present equipment, which is already eight years past its life expectancy, according to Peter Dart, acting chairman of the department.
"The loss of teleline seriously depletes our television facility." Dart says. "Therefore, we are no longer capable of teaching television production and enabling TV production courses from the curriculum."
Telecine converts film and slide projection for television input. It is used for such special effects as transposition and split screen. Television students use the telecine to familiar with the equipment before they graduate.
"You're expected to know what these things are when you get out of school!" Mandle says. "Without them, you're going to lose your way."
Mandle says he can't learn his basics here because the equipment is obsolete. He hopes to get an internship with a commercial television station during this summer, and the techniques of working with teleconference
Radio, television and film is just one of the departments at the University of Kansas that have suffered in the last few years from the lack of a budget, inflation and a 10-percent budget cutback.
Dart says the only place he can get the money for the equipment is from the state because federal funds aren't available to off-the-air television facilities.
"We haven't had money excedent from outside the state," he says. "If something wore out, we had to do without it until we could make a pitch because there are no deprivation schedules."
Roderick Davis, chief engineer for television and KUOK radio, says the current dilapidated state of the department's television equipment is similar to the KANU radio station's equipment eight years ago.
KANU received three federal grants and presently is considered one of the best public services in the country.
Dart possibly could get less expensive black-and-white telecone equipment or cheap industrial equipment but says that they aren't being used in "real world" and that they are just as costly to maintain.
"If we're expected to train people with elementary experience for going into professional broadcasting, we could do it without color, but it's like we'd be by sitting on the curb watching the cars," he says.
Davis says he thinks it would be unwise to purchase black-and-white equipment because color is more difficult to manipulate.
"Black-and-white camera" are just behind the state of the art," he says.
Dart argues that color would not only serve in training the students but also could be used in the training of other students.
"It's also for the Kansas citizens," Dart says.
Many KU students go into Kansas broadcasting or a broadcast-related field when they graduate.
"I's sad we don't have the equipment, because
we need a large market area, TV-wise," Mandle said.

Television Equipment Is Left in Disarray
But Kissinger promised to stand by the allies despite the disagreements and proposed the development of a unified energy program to tackle an oil shortage he said would have developed even without the October war.
He defended U.S. support or Israel during the Middle East war, telling the North Atlantic Treaty Organization council that "We have no interest in Europe's interest as the United States."
THE SPEECH WAS KISSIER's first to the council, which is holding a two-day year-end meeting. It was paraphrased for newsmen by U.S. officials who said the secretary emphasized that the alliance cornerstone of American foreign policy.
At one point, Foreign Minister Michel Jobert of France and Kissinger had a sharp debate over whether Jabot said Europe should have been advised before President Nixon and Soviet Communist party leader Leonid Breshnev on the prevention of nuclear war.
Kissinger attempted in his speech, however, to heal the wounds that deepened when most of the allies separated them. They were all still in stance during the war and its aftermath.
act in union as well with other countries if peace is threatened.
INFORMED DIPLOMATS reported that Kissinger disavowed any intention to keep Britain and France out of the Middle East peacemaking process. But they said he also told the NATO ministers both inside and outside the conference room that British representatives would complicate the peace talks due to begin in Geneva Dec. 18.
First, Kissinger listed a growing Soviet military force which he said was the primary reason for the search for detente. He also said upheaval in developing nations and a number of economic problems have caused an emergency than differences across the Atlantic.
He said differences between the United States and Europe palpable in comparison with other countries.
Syria until it turns over POW list.
Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Doyan told the Israeli parliament that the refusal to deal with Syria at the Dec. 18 Geneva peace negotiations was a fatal blow.
An Israeli refusal to negotiate with Syria would be a serious blow to chances for the success of the negotiations.
Israel says Syria has refused to turn over names of the 102 Israeli POWs believed held in Syria, and the International Red Cross has confirmed the claim.
Congressional tax experts received the first documents of Nixon's tax returns.
The material Nixon released in disclosing his tax affairs confirmed that he paid about $80,000 in federal income taxes over the past four years and no state income taxes. He asked the Joint Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation to review the returns.
Gas retailers want Phase 4 controls lifted so prices can rise $1^{t}$ to $3^{t}$ a gallon.
"We are fighting for our survival," said Charles Binsted, president of the National Congress of Petroleum Retailers during a convention. He made his comment at the same time an industry publication told of rising gasoline prices.

Seventy-five per cent of the funds would be used to pay athletic scholarships, and the remaining funds would go to music, debate and journalism programs.
Victor Miller, student body president at Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia, said the waiver proposal was more limited because of smaller colleges. He said the colleges were being hit harder by decreasing enrollments and were finding it increasingly difficult to fund their programs.
He said that the only way to avoid dropping minor sports and to face the coming enrollment crisis at the colleges would be through the waiver program.

Saxbe's nomination.
Nikon picked Sen. William E. Saxbe, R-Ohio, to be attorney general more than a month ago because he is unable to make the nomination because the attorney general salary had raised to $60,000 a year from $35,000 while Saxbe was serving in the Senate.
That constitutional obstacle was removed when Nixon signed into law a bill reducing the attorney general's salary to its previous level.
