An off-campus housing survey by the University of Kansas Consumer Protection Association (CPA) and the KU Student Senate Housing Committee began Saturday as 15 student volunteers canvassed an area to 128 streets. Ohio streets and from 4th to 128 streets.
About 500 houses were in the survey area, and each volunteer was assigned a specific task.
Steve Hamberg, Holland, Mich., graduate student, was assigned to 25 houses in the 1000 block of Ohio Street. There was no student housing at these houses not available for student rental.
The tenants in Hamburg's area thought their housings complied with the minimum
Two of the tenants rated their landlord as excellent. No landlord was rated poor.
A few tenants said they had contacted their landlords about plumbing and pest control problems, but all said that they were having no major problems with their lan-

Nixon Greeted by Cheers Jeers at Georgia Speech

The journey into Georgia followed a Saturday night news conference in which Nixon launched his public effort to overcome the scandal, saying: "I am not a
MACON, Ga.—Marching his Watergate counter-offensive into a Southern stronghold yesterday, President Nixon received cheers and boos, petitions of support and shouts for resignation or impeachment.
He appeared before the Associated Press Managing Editors Association.
The purpose of the quick trip to Georgia was officially to honor Carl Vinson, retired House Armed Services Committee chairman.
After a 24-minute speech at Mercer College, the President returned to Key Biscayne, FL.
At the airport outside Macon, a crowd estimated at 15,000 cheered and applauded, waving flags and hand lettered signs urging the President to "Hang In There."
A sheaf of petitions of support was handed
Addressing the crowd, Nixon made no direct reference to Watergate and concentrated instead on his accomplishments in foreign policy.
WHITE HOUSE advance men had worked with local Nixon backers in efforts to promote a show of support for the President.
Because of better relations with Moscow and Peking, Nixon said, "I believe we can build a peace that lasts . . . for a generation or more to come."
But he added that America must remain strong—"in spirit, patriotism and love of the common good."

Been rinned off lately?
If so, you're not alone. There are plenty of victims of thefts around the University of Kansas, victims of an apparently plentiful supply of thieves.
Artwork from Strong Hall; books, equipment and projects from Marvin Hall; bicycles and furnishings from residence halls; and a wall clock from the charm room. The aluminum arm is among the items that have been stolen this semester from camouflaged buildings.

VIENNA (AP)—Ten Arab oil producing nations decided yesterday to give most of Europe a one-month reprieve in petroleum cutbacks in recognition of a Common Market political stand generally interpreted as pro-Arab.
Susan Peterson, Ames, Iowa, senior, said that much of the equipment used by architecture students was expensive and therefore tempting to thieves.
Arab Nations to Give Europe Oil Reprieve
Steineger said, "We've got a shop downstairs (in Marvin Hall) that we can't even use because so much equipment has been stolen."
She said another problem was thefts from the architecture library. Students steal books, magazines and pages from the library, thus making it difficult to do research.
Richard Robinson, Topeka senior, said the shop was for students who worked on it. "We always have a staff of people."
ELLOT SAID he had almost stopped using the library because he was often too tired.
Tom Kane, Lanning, Mich., junior, said not some of the thefts weren't necessarily done.
equipment ranging from large power tools to band hands had been stolen from the shop. The owner was murdered Marvin Hall for architecture students. He said shooping wasn't a major problem here.
"LAST SPRING A guy was getting ready to wrap up his semester project, and someone stole all of his drawings," Kane said.
Jim Walters, Bonner Springs junior, said it was difficult to catch the thieves because he had never seen them.
Steineger said the thieves might be students new to the school. She said the attitude seemed to be, "if you don't know someone it's okay to steal things."
"I don't think people would consciously steal from their buddies," she said.
"I think it's like the people who steal street signs," he said. "What good do they
Rie Silber, resident director of Joseph R. Pearl Hall, said that losses from thefts had been minimal there. He said the major problem was that vanhald was aiding cars in the parking lot.
William Kirk, resident director of Tempelin Hall, said a color television set had been stolen from the main lounge at Tempelin. He said the set had been broken at the time and its absence is known only to him days because he had thought it had been taken for repair.

The United States, Japan and the Netherlands were excluded from the pause in the Arab oil cutback, which was imposed on the US after Iraq's war to pressure Israel and its supporters.
This latest action means that unless some new political developments intervene, the pinch on oil deliveries to Americans, Japanese and Dutch will continue unabated.
Although the United States gets only about 10 per cent of its petroleum from the Middle East, that margin has become important with the general energy crisis.
The 10 Arab oil-producing nations announced after a surprise meeting here that the additional 5 per cent reduction in production that had been planned for December would not be carried out against the European countries.

Europe and Japan depend heavily on the Arabs for oil, however, and the cutback has raised fears in these areas of a serious fuel shortage this winter.

The Arabs said they were taking this step "in appreciation of the political stand taken by the Common Market countries in their homeland" regarding the Middle East crisis.
Europe, with the exception of the Netherlands should be the same in December as in November, when they had already been sharply reduced.
The Common Market statement called on Israel to withdraw immediately to the Oct. 22 cease-fire lines, recognize the rights of the Palestinian people and accept in negotiations a pullback from Arab lands captured in 1967.
The decision means that supplies of oil to

Professors Analyze Kennedy Era Ten Years After Assassination
Thanksgiving day marks the 10th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The years since Kennedy's death have brought a rapid escalation of American involvement in the Vietnam War, massive social unrest within the United States and
the election of Richard Nixon to two terms as President.
Last week several University of Kansas professors discussed the late president and speculated about what the last 10 years might have been like if Kennedy had lived.
John G. Clark, professor of history, said the Kennedy assassination was in preparation for the 2016 election.
Egyptian and Israeli negotiators will meet in next few days to discuss cease-fire lines.
The negotiators will meet twice in the next few days to talk about the U.N. backed Egyptian demand for restoration of the Oct. 22 cease-fire lines, U.N.
Their statement in Cairo said an informal meeting is scheduled for today and a plenary session later.
Egypt has charged that Israel violated the cease-fire by moving its forces after the truce went into effect Oct. 22, a movement that resulted in the isolation of the city of Suez and most of the Egyptian 3rd Army, according to military experts.
Israel's public position on the matter has been that withdrawal to the Oct. 22 is impossible because they are impracticable and cannot be pimped anyway.
General Motors and UAW bargained
to avert series of ministrikes this morning.
The union notified the company last week it would let its GM contract expire at 10 a.m. today. If there is no agreement on a new pact, union leaders say, they may authorize a series of short-duration local strikes to force settlement.
Any ministrike will be based on local labor issues at GM plants, Woodcock said. They can be rotated from plant to plant to cripple national production. A news blackout has been in effect on key issues. The issues are thought to be a suggestion that the UAW give up its right to strike plants over production costs, retractive pay to Sept. 14, when the present three-year pact was to have expired and application of the UAW's voluntary工期 proposals.
Greek armed forces went on alert and moved into Athens to quell demonstration
A martial law curfew went into effect, and no disturbances were reported following a day of hit-and-run rioting by thousands of students near the Athens Polytechnic Institute, where the unrest began Friday after a four-day sit-in.
The government said five persons had died and more than 300 had been injured since Friday, when about 15,000 students and workers took to the streets in an attempt to topple the regime of President George Papadopoulos.
An army source said the alert was called as a "precautionary measure." He added that "theoretically, the situation hadn't gotten out of control."
Gallup Poll reported 80% of Americans
approve law limiting President's power.
The poll was taken Nov. 2, 10,5 before Congress voted to override President Nixon's vow of a war with terror. The law requires the President to explain why he has not sent the Army into Iraq.
Under the new law, if Congress doesn't accept the President's reasons, he could continue the fighting for 60 days and have another 30 days to withdraw
In addition to the 80 per cent who favored the requirement, 16 per cent opposed it and four per cent had no opinion.
Gov. George C. Wallace appeared
before a conference of black mayors.
Wallace spoke about problems the mayors had been discussing during a three-day meeting of Southern black mayors. They were education, industrial development and social services.
Security was heavy during Wallace's appearance and, when he concluded his remarks, he was swamped with well-wishers and autograph seekers.
"Presidents are expendable," Clark said. "It was said what happened, but his absence made it more difficult."
Mike Mansfield said Nixon's reluctance
to order gas rations would foster recession
Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, D-Mont., said that Nixon's reluctance was "just a习惯 way to a recession next year."
Nixon's statement Saturday night that gasoline rationing would be a last resort drew support from Department of State Senator Simon and, in addition, from the secretary George P. Shultz,
"President Kennedy's Vietnam policies may have been deterred by Robert," he said.
"In foreign policy there is a pattern that individual presidents cannot deviate from. We're reacting to things more than initiating.
"In a scorecard way, Kennedy was a failure. He's the one who started our Vietnam involvement. Johnson merely escalated it. The kind of advice JKW had in their case we would have gone in the same direction even if Kennedy hadn't been assassinated."
Roy D. Laird, professor of political science, said he thought Kennedy would have been more willing to change his Vietnam policies than Johnson had been.
Clark said he thought the assassination of Robert Kennedy had had more long-range negative effects on the country than did John's.
CLARK SAID an intangible factor would

might have had on his bedside.
"Johnson's great strength was in his perception of domestic problems and needs," Laired said. "Kennedy's domestic responsibility was in his strength was in the international scene."
Laird said, however, that give the context of the times in 1963, American involvement in Vietnam had been destined to get worse before it improved.
"I believe that anyone who had been president at that time," Laird said, "even McDovern, would have done the same in the years of the fears of Chinese Communist expansion.
"When Kennedy was shot, I was in Munich, Germany. It was apparent to me that as an international leader Kennedy had world stature approaching that of FDR. I think he could have brought the war to an end sooner than was the case."
"WHAT WE MUST remember is that in our hindsight we are apt to forget such things as the Chinese takeover of Tibet, her clashes with the Indians and Mao's observation that the United States was a paper tiger."
Raymond G. Davis, assistant professor of political science, said Nick was unfair to Kennedy when he attempted to justify his role in the assassination and had set in motion American involvement.
"The assumptions underlying American involvement in Vietnam were basic assumptions about the cold war and the communism held by albeit all Americans."
D. Stanley Elitzan, associate professor of sociology, said Kennedy's death had unified Americans for a short time and had enabled the country to much social legislation through Congress.
Davis also said that Kennedy's assasination might have signaled a decade of uncertainty.
"It forced the American chief executive into seclusion. It helped make the president more visible."
"CONSEQUENTLY, we thought a lot of lonely. Youngsters got up in awe of them."
"It triggered people on the fringe of society," he said. "It may have socialized me."
Elizean said he thought Nixon wouldn't have become president had Kennedy served on the Supreme Court.
Calder M. Pickett, professor of journalism, said he thought Kennedy's style could have enabled him to handle the war more effectively than Johnson.
"Kennedy had the potential that could have made him an outstanding President," he said. "The New Frontier was an exciting, refreshing idea. Kennedy helped people to see that culture and learning were for everyone."
Pickett, who met Kennedy in the White House in 1961, said, "He was very charming and very articulate. He knew a great deal about the press."
Francis H. Heller, professor of law and political science, said Kennedy had been in serious political trouble at the time of his death.
"Kennedy's presence in Dallas was due to his political problems. He was attempting to
