Miller Asserts Every Crime Has a Victim
By PEGGY SCOTT
Roman Staff Reporter
Atty. Gen, Vern Miller told a hostile audience in the Kansas Union Ballroom last night that there was no such thing as a tortureless crime.
Hecklers among the near-capacity crowd interrupted Miller's speech several times, particularly to take issue with anti-drug comments.
Miller said he believed laws were made to protect possible victims of crimes. He said such "so-called victimless crimes" as gambling and pornography had victims.
At one point, when Miller said a boy who had died from a drug overdose started using marijuana in the eighth grade, a man in the audience welled. "He drank mother's milk."
Students Hear Vern Miller in Union Ballroom
Miller said gambling was against the law, because people who ran gambling games often cheated. Gaming laws also prevent gamblers from gambling away their paychecks, he said.
In a lengthy question-answer session following Miller's speech, many questioners disagreed with his opinions on the need for homosexuality. He told some private sexual habits and gambling.
MILLER REPEATEDLY STATED that the job was to enforce the laws, not to decide
"Of course, you know that I've always said if you don't like a law, change it," he
he added that if the police had known about the man's perseverance, they might have been able to get treatment for him and prevented the murders.
Miller cited the recent mass murders in Boston as one result of a so-called vicilien
"Those murders resulted from the sexual perversion of an adult," Miller said.
Four members of the audience questioned the validity of Miller's conclusion about the bloodborne substance.
One of them, Reggie Brown, Kansas City,
nun, junior, asked Miller, "Would you say
that you're a good player?"
student nurses in Chicago was caused by his 'beterosexuality'?"
Miller said he didn't know.
The attorney general repeatedly said he thought laws should be enforced equally.
"In my opinion, a multimillion dollar corporation should get the very same fine as an individual who commits the same crime," Miller said.
Miller said his raids on gambling in the state and his raid on Amtrak for selling liquor on its trains were examples of his belief.
"I just wonder how bad it really is," he said.
The energy crisis is being investigated by Miller's office, he said.
Miller said he had heard reports of huge quantities of fuel being stored, but he had been unable to place the reports in a proper perspective.
When asked about his views on the possible impeachment of President Nixon, Miller said he didn't think the President should be asked to resign. He said impeachment shouldn't be started until there was concrete evidence against Nixon.
Israelis Defv Truce
By the Associated Press
Israel refused to relinquish its checkpoints on the CaroSeu highway yesterday and Prime Minister Golda Meir declared she would not pull Israeli forces back to the Oct. 22 cease-fire lines as demanded by Egypt.
the commander of U.N. peacekeeping forces, Finnish Maj. Gen. Senius Silvasuo, flew to Tel Aviv after a visit to a disputed checkpoint on the highway to Suez.
A U.N. spokesman said Israelis had a fist fight. Monday with U.N. peacekeepers trying to take over the checkpoint. The U.N. post was later permitted to remain, but an Israeli control point continued in operation nearby.
High Israeli officials said the Israeli checkpoints would be turned over to the United Nations only simultaneously with a prisoner exchange.
Meir, in a policy address to parliament, declined to pull Israel troops back to their positions of Oct. 22, when a cease-fire was first called. Instead, she proposed that Israeli and Egyptian troops withdraw to the 1967 Suez Canal lines.
This suggestion had been made before by the Israelis and would mean Egyptian withdrawal from the east bank of the Suez Canal and Israeli withdrawal from the west bank of the canal occupied during the October war.
Egypt wants a return to the Oct. 22, claiming Israel grabbed a large chunk of
Egyptian land between then and Oct. 24, when the cease-fire took hold. Return to the Oct. 22 lines was a key point in the agreement worked out by Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger. The accord provides for immediate discussions to settle the question.
The Israeli claim that an Oct. 22 line was never determined.
The semiofficial newspaper Al Ahram reported in Cairo that an Arab summit conference will be Nov. 28 in Algeria to discuss the Arab situation.
On Nov. 24, it said, foreign ministers will meet in Caraio to prepare for the summit to which Presidents Awarl Sawar of Egypt and Omar of Syria have sent joint invitations.
Congress Allows Alaska Pipeline; Winter Daylight Time Is Closer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Nearly six years after America's richest pool of oil was discovered on Alaska's North Slope, a bill authorizing a pipeline to tap it cleared House passage.
The nation also moved a step closer to year-round daylight saving time yesterday as Senate and House committees approved legislation for the first time since World War II. Time for the first time since World War II.
The $4.5 billion pipeline, long delayed in Congress and the courts by environmental enforcement, would be the largest construction job ever undertaken by private enterprise.
The daylight saving time measure is one or several steps Nixon proposed to meet the goal of keeping the clock ahead.
A Senate vote of 80 to 5 sent the measure to President Nikon. Backers predicted he would sign the bill despite administration misgivings over sections that give regulatory agencies greater powers. The House passed the bill Monday.
JACKSON SAID work must begin by May on the 789-mile line so that oil could begin to flow to the ice-free port of Valdez and thereby to shin to West Coast ports.
and House Commerce Committees estimated winter daylight saving time would cut power consumption by one or two per cent.
Oil reserves in the Prudhoe Bay area or Alaska, discovered in February 1668, are
Atlantic Richfield, Exxon, British Petroleum and four firms which hold smaller shares of the oil formed a consortium to build the pipeline.
Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash., warned environmentalists that if they again tie the pipeline project up with lawsuits, he would urge governors to have the federal government build it.
After prolonged courtroom delays, a federal appeals court blocked the project in February. The court said it violated limits on the court's ability to way which Connress had down in 1920.

Three pieces of major legislation have been passed by the Student Senate this fall.
Thirty-four senators voted last week Wednesday to give $5,000 to the Curriculum and Instruction Survey. Forty-one senators voted Sept. 19 on a bill to give veto power to the student body president. Another vote was required on Sept. 26 to join the Associated Students of Kansas, a statewide lobbying group. Fifty-three senators participated in that vote.
These votes were legal because a quorum was not called before the votes were taken.
There are 108 voting members in the senate, according to its roll book. However, 40 to 50 members have been absent at the last three meetings.
THE SENATE FOLLOWS 'Roberts' Rules of Order Revised, "which states that there must be more than one half the members of a legislative body at a meeting to constitute a quorum". However, the senate does not allow a quorum until a senator calls for one.
Mert Buckley, Wichita senior and student body president, said last Tuesday that the rule was in violation of the senate code, but he said the senator serves until the election of his successor.
The student Senate Rules and Regulations state that any senator who missed three meetings without an excuse must be replaced.
Applications for the positions of editor and business manager of the University DayKansan for the spring semester was accepted until 5 p.m. Nov. 26 in 105 Flint Hall.
Charles Oldfather, University attorney, said he didn't think a senator could be dropped from the senate without an impeachment proceeding.
"That's why I haven't enforced the rule," Buckley said. "We try to encourage them to come, but some senators, especially from the school, we haven't seen since last spring."
senators and ask them why they don't go to meetings. If the senators simply aren't interested in the senate, they (the constituents) should encourage them to resign so that someone with some interest can hold the seat." he said.
The reasons senators have missed meetings range from a lack of notification and staff turnover.
The application forms are available in the office of the School of Journalism, 108 Flint; the Student Senate Office, 105B Kansas Union; the Office of the Dean of Men, 228 Strong Hall; and the Office of the Dean of Women, 222 Strong.
Kansan Accepting Editor Applications
Buckley said the schools could find out if their senators attend senate meetings, but he said he was sure most schools just assumed they were being well represented.
Nadyne Axelrad, Hinsdale, Ill., graduate student, said she had the problem of not getting notified after she changed her address.
Buckley said the constituents of those senators who continually muss meetings and discussions.
"I haven't been notified of the meetings.
The letters were mailed to a secondary
"The constituents should call these
address and then sent to me by the time I got them, the meetings were over. Everything is worked out now, though," she said.
The bill sent to Nixon revises the right of way limitations, authorizes a construction permit and bans most lawsuits which could delay the project.
Barry Rose, Overland Park junior, said he thought the senate was a waste of time.
Environmentalists have 60 days to file a complaint against the probation of lawsuits against the permit.
Steve Coffman, Lawrence graduate student, said he thought he wasn't being effective in expressing his views to the senate.
"The senate is not responsive to the things I want to do. I don't have the time to sit on it."
—An industry emergency preparedness committee said yesterday in Houston that the Arab embargo on oil shipments to the United States could mean a loss of three million barrels a day in crude oil and products by the end of the year.
He said he was disillusioned by the budget sprung and hadn't attended a senior meeting.
ELSEWHERE on the energy front:
The rules for the suspension of senators would also apply to representatives of organizations such as the Panhellenic Association of University Residence Halls.
"Everyone was trying to figure out a way to get money from the University. There

were some worthwhile groups, but some were a farce," he said.
Steve Wiseman, Hutchison school, said he was too busy with school work to attend
Because this would be an amendment to the Senate Code, it would have to be ratified by the Senate.
The National Petroleum Council committee said such a loss would have a major impact on unemployment and the nation's economy. It called for immediate mandatory rationing of gasoline and heating fuels.
Although the senate has no current solutions to the problem of absentees, Jon Jossnerad, Johnson sophomore, planned to submit a proposal to the senate yesterday to amend the senate code so members could be suspended for not attending meetings.
Administration officials indicated
Gulf and Ashland oil companies pleaded guilty to making illegal donations to Nixon.
The two oil companies had previously admitted making illegal $100,000 donations each. They were fined a total of $6,000 yesterday, but officials escaped jail terms because they had volunteered their information to the special Waterate prosecution force.
Gulf plured guilty also to illegally donating $10,000 to Sen. Henry Jackson of Washington and $15,000 to Rep. Wilbur Mills of Arkansas, both of whom were charged with conspiracy.
In a Watergate related matter, the Senate committee heard in a closed session Gary Hamman, chairman of a dairyman's political fund.
There was still no response from the White House to a call from the committee for Nixon to let himself be questioned on Watergate at his earliest
Spokesman for the two congressmen said the two were unaware the Gulf money was illegal. Mills offered to return the money and Jackson said he

Burns said the action meant the government would buy gold at a price no higher than the official $42.22.
Nixon met with GOP Senators and promised facts and a defense.
Senators attending a two-hour session with President Nixon last night said he promised soon to supply facts and defend his conduct in Watergate and other controversies. They said he asserted repeatedly that he wouldn't resign.
Prime Minister Edward Heath declared emergency to meet Britain's fuel crisis
Heath's drastic action will give his Conservative government the necessary power to deal with a threat of power shortages and the worst foreign trade deficit in the nation's history. His action will institute an unprecedented credit squeeze to avert a run on the pound.
The move was forced by a ban on overtime by the nation's coal miners and workers in the state owned electricity generating industry.
HEW rejected states' plans to desegregate by court-order their public higher education.
The proposals by nine states were submitted early last summer but fell short of being acceptable to meet a federal court deadline, which asked they further racial desegregation action in their public colleges and universities. Peter Holmes, director of HEW's office for Civil Rights, said the states were Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania.
Alleged loan practice corruption extends nationwide, congressional sources said.
In addition to a probe of the Richmond, Va., office of the Small Business Administration, the House banking subcommittee on small business, and the Justice Department are looking into SBA operations across the nation, said Rep. Henry Gonzalez, D-Tex., a member of the subcommittee.
Princess Anne and Capt. Mark Phillips will marry in widely broadcast ceremony.
The royal wedding today, estimated to cost about $240,000, comes at a time of financial crisis for Britain and some "Cancel the wedding" opposition came from labor lawmakers in the House of Commons. The centermark is to move to Westminster Abbey to an estimated $80 million people around the world.
yesterday they were considering rationing home heating oil and gasoline, but one Cabinet official said he strongly opposed gasoline rationing.
Kenneth Lay, a deputy undersecretary of the interior, said a basic individual ration of 10 to 15 gallons of gasoline per week for cars "is the most likely range, at this point."
The Senate is expected to take up today the imposition of emergency fuel assistance.
—The Department of Transportation announced it is setting up an Office of Energy Policy to oversee and coordinate efforts in the nation's transportation system.

Temperatures To Be Lowered In Kansas Union
By LINDA WEINSTEIN
Kansas Staff Reporter
The Kansas Union might seem a bit chilly this winter. Thermostats will be set between 65 and 68 degrees—a drop of five to seven degrees, according to Steve Warren. Hastings, Neb. senior, president of SUA and the union Memorial Corporation Board.
The Memorial Corporation Board, a 30-member group composed of alumni, administrators, staff, faculty and students, is the governing body of the Kansas Union. Last Thursday, the board discussed steps the Union could take to conserve energy.
Frank Burge, director of the Union, said he thought the energy conserving measures adopted by the Union would benefit everyone.
"The Union will have lower room temperatures, averaging between 65 and 88 degrees." Warren said. "Also, all ornamental windows are not functionary will be turned off."

"LIGHTING WON'T BE turned off in areas such as the tunnel, parking lots and stairways, which need light for safety reasons," he said.
"We're not going to make anything dangerous." Burge said. "We will turn off lights and shut off the heat entirely when rooms are unoccupied."
Burge said he had planned ahead and already had 50 signs made to post in Union rooms. The signs read: "Security and Economy: at the conclusion of your meeting, will you be kind enough to turn off the door or the door shut as you leave. Thank you."
about 85,000 students use the Union for scheduled events each month, he said, and
they'll have to do so.
BURGE SAID HE WAS optimistic about the steps to cut down on energy consumption this winter because the Union could save about $10,000. But he said students must help by following the directions on his signs.
The Union utility bill for gas, electricity and water for the last fiscal year was
Burge said he didn't have any special plans for the $10,000 he hopes to save. The money will probably be spent for rising gas demand or for general inflationary operation costs.
Warren said the Memorial Corporation had no plans to shorten the operating budget.
However, if President Nixon orders state institutions and schools to close early to conserve energy, Warren said the Union would comply.
"All we've done so far is turn up the temperature and turned off all the orchids."
"No programs have been affected—not even food services."
Burge said, "From an engineering standpoint we have complied with standards."
