Israeli and Egyptian officers conferred for first time after years of separation.
The encounter, at 1:30 a.m. yesterday about 60 miles from Cairo near a dry gully called Wadi Al-Jandali, marked the first time Egyptians and Israelis have openly conferred at such a high official level since Oct. 28, 1986, the Israeli military command said. A second meeting took place later in the

Egypt Says Territory No Mark of Success
By C. C. MINICLIER
CAIRO- It is misleading to measure the results of three weeks of desert warfare by drawing lines on a map, an Egyptian army officer said yesterday.
It is not known what the cease-fire will bring, but if the Israelis do not give up the Arab lands they occupy, there will be another war, the Egyptians say. The Egyptians isolate these points as examples of psychological and psychological gains from this war:
Greater Arab unity.
- NEW ECONOMIC pressure on Washington, applied through the decision of Arab oil-production states to cut production in Israel and to withdraw pre-1967 boundaries.
— A new awareness that the travel super-soldier, once able to defeat attackers in warfare, could be a valuable asset.
—Father reminiscent of Israel during the war as only seven black nations retain diplomatic relations with Israel in Africa, and Europe heads toward neutrality to the
benefit of the oil-rich Arabs. Senegal broke diplomatic relations with Israel yesterday, Ethiopia, which controls the southern entrance to the Red Sea, was one of eight African nations that broke relations earlier in the war.
EGYPTIAN PRESIDENT Anwar Sadat said Oct. 16 that his country was prepared to "accept a cease-fire on the condition that the Israeli forces withdraw withfth from all occupied territories of the pre-June 5, 1967, line."
—Revived interest in the Middle East by the big powers after six years and four months of stalemate, prompting Henry Kissinger, secretary of state, to say Oct. 25, "We have not yet reached the conditions that produced the war of Oct. 6 cannot be allowed to continue . . ."
Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir has said that no Israeli soldiers will withdraw until a peace agreement is signed. Sadat has said that withdrawal must come first and that "peace can only be established on the basis of justice."
Congress to Confront Nixon
WASHINGTON (AP)—Congress heads into confrontations with President Nixon this week over a new Watergate special prosecutor and over presidential war powers. And a preliminary impeachment pains under way in the House.
Nixon announced Friday that Robert Bork, acting attorney general, would name new prosecutors.
The President's decision to name a new prosecutor drew heavy criticism from Democratic Congressmen, who said they would press ahead with their legislation to have the prosecutor appointed by John Shrice. U.S. District Court Judge.
HEARINGS ON THE President's dismissal of former special Watergate prosecutor, Archibald Cox, start today in the leadless witness.
That bill is cosponsored by more than half the Senate—53 senators. A similar bill is cosponsored by 106 of the 435 House members.
Elliot Richardson, former attorney general, and William Kuckelshaur, former deputy attorney general both of whom were recently appointed are expected to testify later in the week.
Cox said yesterday that Congress should pass legislation providing for a new special prosecutor. He said he would be involved in the U.S. District Court in Washington
despite some possible con.tittutional problems.
Cox said the presidential tape recordings over which he fired "were clearly only a first step in seeking a great deal of important evidence from the White House."
COX SAID THAT as part of an investigation of campaign contributions he would have sought accounts of a meeting between President Nixon and Clifford A. Hardin, former agriculture secretary, which dealt with milk pricing.
The White House has refused to make such material available in connection with a lawsuit filed by the city against the building.
Alexander Haig Jr., Nixon's chief staff, would not say whether accounts of the Hardin-Nixon meeting would be made available to a new Watergate prosecutor.

Dykes said the station's services were important in extending the University's resources beyond the classroom to the people of the state. He cited the programs aired by KANU that were created by the faculty and staff of KU.
There is a nationwide trend toward declining college enrollments in black studies courses, according to a national survey, but enrolment in the African studies Program at the University of Kansas is increasing.
The program's director, Jacob Gordon.
Docking said that KANU helped to provide art and informational services to the people of Kansas and that educational materials were provided in the classroom and commercial radio.
KANU Needs Funds Director Wright Says
Dole told the audience that KANU was applying for $150,000 through the educational broadcasting facilities program to relocate the station's transmitter to increase power and to serve a broader area.
Radio has three advantages over other news media, Dole said, because it is less sensational, more mobile in its ability to reach the news and has a more mobile audience.
Harris thanked the University on behalf of his family for re dedicating the station to Harriet Harris.
KANU's audio reader program, the station's service to the blind, was supported by the state in the past. Wright said, but he also pointed out that many made commitments to support it next year.
Dick Wright, director of the University of Kansas' FM radio station, KANU, told a radio audience and about 150 people in Hoch Auditorium yesterday that the station was expected to provide high-quality public access needed the resources to make that possible.
Wright spoke at KANU rededication ceremonies yesterday. Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan, Gov. Robert Docking, Chancellor Archie R. Dykes, Rep. Fred Harris Jr., RCleave, and Susan Stamberger of National Radio (NFR) were among the guests.
Wright said members of the station's staff occasionally contributed their own money to some of the operations of the station. He helped the station relied on volunteer employees.

Stamberg, the anchormen for NPR's daily news program, "All Things Considered," said the purpose of radio was to inform and entertain the listener. The reeducation of a radio station proves to be useful in their efforts were worthwhile, she said.

professor of history, will speak Wednesday at the annual meeting of the African Studies Association in Syracuse, N.Y., to explain why KU's program continues to grow.
"This year enrollment in two basic courses on African civilization has almost doubled," Gordon said last week. The program has grown from five to fifteen this year from three last year, he says.
Gordon is also director of Upward Bound, federally sponsored program that provides training to undergrad and school students. The program is a logical extension to his concept of black studies, he
"We've got to get out of our little shell," and do something completely nontraditional.
'WE CAN'T BE content to simply sit behind our desks and listen to dissertations. We've produced enough elitists. We've got to reach out to the masses.'
in the spring of 1969, all courses dealing primarily with blacks were offered at KU. African studies program was proposed in 1970, and it started in the fall of 1971, Gordon says.
This semester there are 12 African studies courses. The program offers bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees, and KU graduate students have studied in Africa.
"African studies is an interdisciplinary program," Gordon says. "That is, faculty members are members of the traditional disciplines, such as history, anthropology or sociology. They are selected for their exposition in black-related courses in their field."
African Studies at KU has continued to grow despite a trend by clubs at other schools to abandon black studies for courses that are useful in professional training, Gordon said.
He credited three approaches to African Studies for the program's success: continual innovation, academic relevance and outreach into the black community.
*AFRICAN STUDIOS* is popular among books here because it is relevant to their racial and cultural identities.

"Information about blocks is scarse. In high school courses and texts there is no information on the contributions blocks." I came from to know where I'm going.

Quality of Placement Bureaus in KU Schools Vary
By NANCY HARPER
Kansas Staff Reporter
A university placement office exists to find jobs for graduates. It's that simple.
Placement bureaus arrange interviews for prospective employers with job-seeking students. A successful match-up requires communication; between the school and the prospective employer, between the school and the student, and between the employer and the student.
The University of Kansas has eight placement bureaus trying to fit approximately 2,800 graduating seniors into satisfying and promising work.
All three—the school, the employer and the student—have separate needs that must be met.
PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS or interviewers need adequate facilities for interviewing, close proximity to teachers and deans and information on each student being interviewed, according to University placement officers.

According to six KU placement officers interviewed recently, adequate facilities are important to a successful bureau. They also cited easily accessible parking, close proximity to teachers and students and an institution as important considerations.
Students rely on placement offices to
Decentralization, or separate placement offices for each school within the University, is preferred by most KU placement directors over one central location. They cited the importance of interviewers being near students and their teachers and the need to know how both students and companies as primary benefits of decentralization.
SOME UNIVERSITIES, such as Bowling Green in Ohio, provide all placement activities in one building under a central coordinator, according to Herold Regier, director of the Educational Placement Bureau.
Elmo Llandiquet, associate professor of mechanical engineering and placement director for the KU School of Engineering, suggested a study of all University placement bureaus. The study would determine, he said, whether one location was actually more effective than were several decentralized offices.
Lindquist further explained the need for adequate physical facilities in placement. He cited a recent survey in which the majority of engineers received a very low rating.
He said that physical facilities probably caused the low rating. Engineering classes are taught in five buildings from west of Iowa Street to Jawhawk Blvd.
INTERVIEWERS COME to Marvin Hall, Lindquist explained, get tickets on their cars because there is no unrestricted parking nearby, and then discover that teachers have the access they need to have the interest or the time to run all over making these contacts, he said.
Lindquist also said that there were no
rooms set aside for interviewers, and that they had to give up their offenses for this purpose.
IN THE SURVEY, employers using university placement offices were asked to rate those offices on the adequacy of information provided students on employers, the information provided employers on students, the reception and assistance given employers, how well students were prepared and on faculty interest and parity.

Students interviewed reported that the placement office staff keeps interviews on schedule and that communications are good between the students and the office.
The business school service is available to students in all University departments, according to Young, and is used by many non-business majors. The 1972-1973 Placement Bureau Report lists 186 internships arranged for students in other departments.
Young said that employers preferred students with some business course work,
