Dog Amendment Criticized
Proposed amendments to the Lawrence dog control ordinance were criticized yesterday at the weekly meeting of the Lawrence City Commission.
George Melvin, 2239 West Drive, drive strong words of criticism about the amendments. Melvin is a native of Lawrence and has practiced law here for 50 years.
"UPON ONE CURSORY EXAMINATION of these amendments I would say that if the existing ordinance is any good at all I would suggest that the commission forged this one. The commission was wrong. It is unreasonable, ridiculous. It's plus that," Melvin said.
Malvin said that one clause of the proposed amendments contradicted a Kansas Supreme Court ruling. The ruling states that there is no limit to the number of cats one person may harbor, he said. A proposed amendment would fix six the number of cats and dogs more than six months old that a person could keep at one
THE AMENDEMENTS WILL BE READ for approval at the commission meetings and should be read by those that be would attend that meeting to speak against the amendments in more detail.

The commission also issued a statement of intent to support the newly organized Lawrence Arts Commission.
The statement says that the city commission is willing to underwrite costs up to $5,000 for the repair and maintenance of the old library building at 9th and Vermont streets, the proposed headquarters of the arts commission. It also says that the city will be willing to underwrite the cost of the annual contingent upon the receipt of outside funds for the arts center. These financial commitments will be subject to review at the end of six months.

Complaints of unfair promotion practices at Haskell Indian Junior College may be resolved by the results of a Bureau of Indian Affairs classification, review completed last week.
The review was begun Oct. 9 at the request of Haskell Superintendent Wallace Gallucci in response to complaints that his department had violated Federal of F4 Employees.
Gallucci said yesterday the BIA review indicated that all full instructors, including those in vocational and technical areas, would be promoted to a GS-11 level.
Gallucci defined full instructors as those with a master's degree and at least one year of teaching experience at the junior college level.
level. The majority of vocational and technical instructors, he said, are currently at the GS-9 level.
Gallucci said the government rating agency said the responsibility and responsability of the instruction.
Salaries at the GS-9 level are from $12,167 to $16,821 a year and those at the GS-11 level are from $20,455.
All promotions will be accompanied by salary increases, he said.
James Lathert, president of Local 45, said salary increases for the 30 or 40 employees affected by the BIA review would be about $1,000 a year.
The effect of the BIA review on the unfair labor practice charges filed with the U.S. Department of Labor is uncertain, Luther said.
He said he would discuss dropping some charges with union members after the promotions, scheduled for Nov. 9, took effect.
Complaints filed over the past two months with the Department of Labor also involve Haskell's practice of hiring temporary employees who don't fall within the union's impediment.
Luther said there were 68 temporary employees Haskell, compare to 120 full-employees.
But the crucial issue is one of promotions,

FOREIGN STUDENTS want access to the center's financial records, Amidi said, because they question whether the center is making a profit at student expense.
He said students thought they were kept at the center for a couple of semesters to get their money. He said they thought they were being cheated.
Amidi said other complaints concerned a lack of library facilities at the center, outdated laboratory equipment, inaccurate class schedules and unavailable textbooks.
He also said the English taught at the center wasn't practical, grade points were taken away for absences and Foster Hall, where the center is located, was unsafe, and
FELIX MOOS, chairman of the foreign student committee, said there was no intentional plan to prevent students from learning English.
he also said that because the committee hadn't studied the center's financial records, they hadn't determined that the center was making a profit.
Moss said the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences had suggested the center have an advisory committee which should have a faculty student complaints about the curriculum.
Norman Forer, member of the committee, said there was obviously a problem, and there was obviously a real breakdown in confidence and communication.
He suggested that the foreign students submit a position paper to the committee explaining the kind of structure they wanted at the center.

Impeach Nixon Supporters Dwindle at Local Meeting
SUA WILL SPONSOR a free Halloween Couture Ball at 7:30 tonight in the Union Ballroom. Three bands, "Rollin' Thunder," "Free Frog" and "Cat Willie," will provide music. Prizes will be awarded for the best costumes.
BOB MAYER, regional director of the War Resister's league, and Igal Roodenkai, a pacifist in World War II, will talk about their own lives and "How to live with yourself in Nikon's America" at 7:30 ontun in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union.
A turnout of only eight people at a Douglas County Citizens for Constitutional Government meeting last night caused several people at the meeting to wonder whether the surge to impeach Nixon had died.
REGISTRATION for the oral communications exemption examination, to be given Nov. 16, must be completed by today. Students with questions about the exam can talk to Quiggans, assistant instructor in speech and drama, in Frazer Anex A or B.
"I've noticed a changing attitude since Niobu's press conference Friday," said the president of the organization.
to Seen. Edward Kennedy for publicity purposes," Rube said.
"May we should wait for Nixon to make another big mistake. In the mean time we can anticipate problems and be prepared for them when they come," he said,
Edward Ruhe, 1019½ Massachusetts St., said the lack of attendance was due to apathy about meetings, not apathy about immeaching Nixon.
"I don't think the community feeling has died down. I'm impressed with the proimpeachment feeling in town. It might be stronger than on that campus," Ruhe said.
Marilyn Cunningham, R.F.D. 4, said the organization should circulate buttons and bumper stickers.
"Buttons are good conversation pieces," she said. "It will be easier to talk with people about impeaching Nixon if you have a button."
Rube suggested that the organization sponsor a weekly program on KANU or cable television to keep the issue in the public eye.
"We might make photostat copies of the selections we have circulated and send them
The organization will meet from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Thursday in Alcove of the Kansas University to complete plans for the Union and sending petitions to congressmen.
