Egypt Says Israel Guilty Of Violations
By the Associated Press
Israel reported killing an Egyptian soldier in a Suez shootout yesterday and an Egyptian spokesman warned more clashes would erupt unless Islamic forces pulled him.
Israel said the Egyptian soldier was killed near the Suez Canal. Spokesmen in Tel Aviv claimed Egypt had opened fire or tried to advance five times during the day.
Egyptian spokesman Gen. Izzi Eddin Mukhair said the Israelis were "constantly violating the cease-fire to improve their positions."
They also said Israeli fired on two Syrian soldiers who tried to approach the Israeli border.
The Israeli command reported no Israeli casualties.
Israel reported another fight near Ayun Musa in the Sinai Desert near the Gulf of Suez, where an Israeli spokesman claimed Egypt was trying to advance.
Senior Egyptian and Israeli officers met informally in a U.N. tent at Kilometer 101 on the Cairo-Suez highway for more than an hour. They discussed restoration of the Oct. 22 cease-fire lines as provided in the U.N. Security Council truce resolution.
taraen Mjl. Mgm. Ahren Yariv said later
the misengagement of forces will be very,
wery.
The two sides agreed to a formal meeting Thursday in the presence of U.N. Maj. Gen. Enso Siliasso of Finland, commander of the U.N. Emergency Force in the Middle East.
An Egyptian government spokesman in Cairo said Egypt would make a formal protest at the United Nations against what he called an "attempt to define" a causeway across the Suez Canal.
He said Cairo would also ask the United Nations to mediate with Israel to permit foreign newsmen based in Cairo to enter the city of Suez.
A U.N. spokesman said 1,282 wounded civilians have been evacuated from Suez. The number is 60 more than was called for in the original agreement, but another 87 in Suez, Israel says it will not release the others without a new agreement.

Regents, Dykes Protest Cuts in Budget Requests
By BETH RETONDE
Kanan Staff Remorter
The Kansas Board of Regents and administrators of the six state-supported colleges and universities appeared yesterday before state Budget Director James Bibb in an effort to justify their budget increases for fiscal year 1975.
Attention was focused on proposed faculty salary increases, which the regents contend will be unaffected.
Regent William Danenbarger of Concorda said in his opening statement, "It has been a long time since I have seen the board as unanimous and as intense about a request as it is this year about the request for faculty salaries."
A SALARY INCREASE of 10 per cent for the University of Kansas and Wichita State University and of 11 per cent for Kansas and of 13 per cent and the three state colleges was requested.
Bibb has recommended to Gov. Robert
Senate Passes Fuel Measure Authorizing Rationing if Needed
WASHINGTON (AP)—A bill declaring a one-year nationwide fuel emergency passed the Senate Monday and was sent to the House.
The vote was 78 to 6.
The House cannot take the bill up until at least 26. the day it return from its meeting.
The bill authorizes, but does not require,
rationing.
Docking a salary increase of only five per cent for each of the six schools. Docking will study Bibb's recommendations before the Kansas Legislature in January.
Voting against the bill were Sense. Dewey Bartlett and Henry Bellmon, D-Oka-James, Ricketts, C-Ray, Barry Cockley, C-Ray, Barry Rote, Jude Rote, Rideout, R-Ore, and Jesse C. HRL, N-C.
"We are aware that the legislature in years past has given us increased appropriations for salaries, but frankly, these increases have just barely matched the increases brought on by inflation. As a salary increase, we can an increase in salary." Damerland said.
DANENBARGER CITED four reasons for supporting the faculty nav increase.
Before final passage, the Senate adopted an amendment that deleted a provision to tap the nation's naval petroleum reserves. But it rejected most other amendments,
First, he said this year's requested 10 per cent increase wouldn't bring faculty salaries in line with those paid by each of the four universities to the American Association of Universities.
Another amendment adopted would permit Congress to terminate the emergency after six months, if it decides emergency measures are no longer needed after receiving an interim report from the President.
Under the bill, Nixon would be required to establish priorities for a system designed to reduce consumption by 10 per cent in 10 days and 25 per cent in four weeks.

Mass transit systems would receive priority on fuel and would get federal
Industries could receive limited variances from air quality standards if they found themselves in violation because of having to switch fuels.
Actions taken under the act would be exempt for one year from any requirement imposed by the law.
States and cities of 200,000 or more population would be required to come up with their own plans within 10 weeks. If they do, the federal plan would remain in effect.
The system would have to include reductions in speed limits, temperature restrictions in both public and private offices, a ban on advertising designed to increase energy consumption and curb hours in schools and other institutions.
Court Will Consider Metro Desegregation
The issue was raised in a case from the Detroit metropolitan area.
Rep. Brock Adams, D-Wash., issued a statement on the bill, saying, "I have grave doubts about giving the President a free hand to continue pursuing his policies of making the average American bear the full burden of inflation and the energy shortage."
The President would be authorized to require power plants and factories burning oil and gas to switch to coal or other fuel if possible.
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Supreme Court will decide this term whether federal courts can include suburban school systems in desegregation plans for predominantly black inner city schools, the court agreed yesterday.
He said the second point was that Kansas faculty salaries were compared to the averages of the peer groups—not to the top half of the groups.
The justices also agreed to consider another kind of discrimination claim, this one from a white law student who argued that the minority preference policy at the University of Washington violated his constitutional rights.
White law student Marco De Funis Jr. of Seattle won a hearing before the high court
The Detroit dispute, which probably will be decided by June, will be the second time the city has won a lawsuit.
Last term, the court deadlocked four to four on metropolitan desegregation. Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr. did not participate in deciding that case, since it involved Richmond, Va., where he served on state and local school boards.
Adams said the measure would "enrich the welathy fuel interests."
Regulatory agencies would be empowered to adjust regulations governing schedules for airlines, railroads and other passenger and freight carriers.
The U.S. Circuit Court in Cincinnati said in June that a multi-district approach was the only constitutional way to desegregate Detroit schools. That decision was appealed by 43 of the 86 school districts in the three-county Detroit metropolitan area.
The state supreme court in Washington had held that the university law school rightfully considered the race of its applicants, but did not recognize body representation of minority groups.
system had argued that high court review now would be premature, since the District Court in Detroit had not yet fashioned a specific desegregation plan.
The Senate voted 48 to 39 to table an amendment offered by Sen. Jesse C. Helms, R-N.C., to ban the busing of school children for desegregation purposes.

Helms said his antibussing amendment would save substantial amounts of fuel which in many cases, he said, is used to transport a few mails over long distances.
Applications for the positions of editor and business manager of the University of Kansas for the spring semester will be scheduled up to 5 p.m. Monday in 160 Flint Hall
*Why keep busing in effect when we are talking about closing schools and limiting the number of students*.
Government agencies could impose
Sen. Jacob Javis, R-N.Y., who moved to table the Helms amendment, said it would inflate the busing controversy at a time when it has quieted down.
The application forms are available in the office of the School of Journalism, 105 Flint; the Student Senate office, 106B Kansas Union; the office of the Dean of, 228 Strong Hall; and the office of the Dean of Women, 222 Stone Hall.
Kansan Accepting Editor Applications
"Let well enough alone," Javits said. "Don't stir it up now."
The Kansan Board will interview candidates and elect an editor and a business manager Nov. 28. The editor's business manager-elect will have until 5 to hire news and business staffs for approval by the Kansan Board.
Rip-Off Boom Hits Senate
By JILL WILLIS
Kansan Staff Reporter
After taking an inventory, the senate has discovered a loss of about $2,000 worth of property. Mike Steinmetz, Lawrence graduate student and senator treasurer, said urgently.
The Great Rip-Boo at the University of Kansas has extended to the Student
The inventory was the first taken by the senate since the students were given control of the activity fee funds, according to Steinemt.
"WE (THE SENATE) are also missing a few drafting tables. Hopefully we'll find our five ballot boxes that are gone. There are over 100 books that are missing," he said.
"The things I'm mostly concerned with are the loss of a couple of typewriters, one of which belonged to the senate, and a tape recorder." he said.
Steinmetz said most of the books were bought by the Free University, Supportive Educational Services and the Women's Coalition.
"No one in the senate even knows what a Kardex is, or when it was lost," he said.
Mary Frances Coffman, who is in charge of inventory accounts in the University purchasing department, said an annual inventory analysis by the university departments was required by law.
"I think there's a law that states that an inventory must be taken every year. I don't know."
Coffman said she thought this would make the University departments more aware of the need for accuracy in taking inventory.
"State auditors come each year and they are beginning to check more departments."
STENNETZ SAID, HOWEVER that was unfair to penalize new club officers and club members for the carelessness of previous club officers.
HOWEVER, SHE SAID the purchasing department couldn't tell whether the departments actually counted their equipment and assigned the equipment sheet without checking.
Steinmetz told the senate had also lost a tardex, an electric filing machine, that was put up by the governor.
ment they've bought, why should we give them more money to buy more equipment?
Steinmetz said he hoped that during the budget hearings next spring the senators would think twice before allocating money to groups that consistently lost equipment.
"If a group can't account for the equip-
"Again, that may be an inherent fault in our transient system. Officers change every year. Each year they handle large amounts of paperwork and they have to be responsible for it," he said.
Steinmetz said the senate currently had a contract called the Capital Disposition Contract. It has been signed by club officers and then responsible for all club equipment.
Thieves Hit Nunemaker Offices
Four office machines valued at more than $1200 were stolen from Nunenmack college offices during the weekend, according to KU Security and Parking.
Bill Robinson, associate director of Nunemaker College, said the theft occurred sometime between 3:30 a.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. yesterday.
IF APPROVED, the increases requested
said to be said out a step forward
recovering the user's account.
Robinson said the theft was especially distressing because of the effort that went into acquiring it.
"We spent three years accumulating this
buying, buying it as we could." he said.
The third point considered by the regents was that even if the 10 or 11 per cent increases were passed by the legislature, a substantial part of the increases would cover inflation costs, leaving only a small increase in net income.
He said Security and Parking had investigated the theft thoroughly, but he didn't expect the equipment to be recovered.
Danenbarger said the second major request presented to Bibb was a 10 per cent increase in operating funds for the six state schools.
"I don't expect to see it again," Robinson said. "I'd be very pleased if we did."
The stolen machines are a dictating machine, an electric adding machine and a record-keeping machine.
Robinson said that there were no signs of forced entry into the building and that there was a fire in the building.
He said the equipment was not insured and he didn't know whether it would be repaired.
Captain B. L. Ellison of Security and Parking, said that people could aid the recovery of stolen property by reporting it to sell property for unusually low prices.
Ellison advised that anyone who received an offer to purchase property that might have been stolen should immediately report the actions of the seller and the property to police.
Chancellor Emeritus Raymond Nichols said last week that of the 10 per cent requested by KU, 6 per cent would cover salaries and help cover raises to peer-level groups.
Bubb said former Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr, did more harm than good.
THE FINAL POINT considered by the regents was that the funds granted for salary increases would be distributed on a faculty members' faculty campus members could be retained.
ago I was very much opposed to the actions of some students and a few faculty members together with a permissive chancellor at KU." he said.
Regent Henry Bubb of Topeka said at the budget hearing that the 10 and 11 per cent increases wouldn't cover what was lost in the decrease allowed no increases in faculty salaries.
"Evidently the majority of our citizens agreed and also the legislature, as they voted for no increase in faculty salaries for 1971 for all six state schools." Bubb said.
"As most of you remember, a few years
"Our institutions now find it all but impossible to buy those items which have always been within their budgets, but are now priced out of reach," he said. "Scientific supplies, library books, equipment of various kinds and furniture are just some of the items that have had phenomenal increases in price."
Sohu has recommended a five per cent increase in operating expenditures for KU rather than the 10 per cent increase that was requested.
THE REGENTS have also requested funds to upgrade and coordinate computer operations at the schools, to support women's intercollegiate athletics and to waive fees for some students. Bib cut these funds to budget recommendation to the governor.
KU had requested $126,290 for the coordinate computer plan, $64,997 for women's intercollegiate athletics and $190,000 to waive fees for students who have private music lessons, music debate, and drama. Not more than 75 percent of the waived fees would have

Texaco, Mobil and Exxon oil companies were found in contempt of Calif. legislature.
Attorneys for the oil companies said the questions involved sensitive data that by law they should be able to withhold from competitors.

Germany and Denmark banned driving on Sundays because of Arab oil squeeze.
The Germans and the Danes thus became the third and fourth European nations to be deprived of Sunday pleasure driving in a growing effort to keep them on Sunday.
West Germany also ordered tougher speed limits already in force in Denmark and Belgium to save scarce fuel.
The European moves to further save oil came despite an announcement Sunday by Arab oil countries meeting in Vienna that they would give eight of the nine Common Market members a one-month exemption from a planned 5 per cent cutback.
Cambodian palace compound was bombed a second time by its own fighter plane.
President Lon Nol and his family were reported unarmed. Three persons were killed and 10 injured, witnesses said.
The bombs were dropped by a Cambodian air force fighter on a bombing mission to Phnom Penh's southern perimeter, military sources said. The informants said the pilot radioed during his mission that his bombs would not release.
He broke away then from his formation and headed for the palace as the other planes prepared to land, they said.
There was no word on the pilot's whereabouts or the reasons for the bombing.
