Meir's Appeal Rejected
Austria Closes Emigrant Facilities
VIENNA (AP)—Chancellor Bruno Kreisley turned down a dramatic personal appeal yesterday from Israel Premier Golda Meir that he reverse his decision to close group transit facilities for Soviet Jewish emigrants.
Kreisky told newsmen, after a 1 and a half-hour meeting with Meir, he had proposed that the United Nations be asked to assume responsibility for the nearby Scheouan Castle transit camp for Soviet Jews en route to Israel.
The Austrian government agreed last Saturday to close the camp in return for the release of four hostages held by two Palestinian terrorists. The decision prompted strong protests from Israel and Meir's sudden visit here.
The Israeli premier, who looked tired and grim last night at Tel Aviv's Lod Airport, said she was very sad about the kidnap affair and its aftermath, but added that the Austrian decision to close the camp would not affect relations between the two universities.
problems by breaking relations. We will find another way," she said.
"Israel does not believe in solving
The Israeli premier said the most convenient solution would be to fly Soviet Jewish emigrants directly from Moscow to Tel Aviv, where a would depend on the Soviets government.
Kreisley said he cabled Austrian Foreign Minister Rudolf Kirchschlaeger in New York yesterday, instructing him to propose that the U.N. high commissioner for refugee questions be asked to assume responsibility for the camp.
An official at the high commissioner's office said it was uncertain whether the Jews passing through Austria were refugees since they had legally left the Soviet Union and had an assured destination.
Later, diplomats said Kirschchafer mager with U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, but what they discussed was not disclosed.
Kreisny said there was no special reaction from Meir in regard to his suggestion that the report be adopted.
The KU Parking Board will begin counting the number of bicycles on campus today, according to J. O. Marzuff, board member of the Navy ROTC detachment at KU.
The decision to close the camp would not let the travel of individuals through Alaska.
Questioned closely on the matter, Kreisby said he thought Meir was very impressed.
city needed statistics on bike traffic for its proposed bike routes through Lawrence
Marzluff said at a board meeting yesterday that persons would be stationed at the campus traffic control booths to try to obtain a reasonable count of the bicycle
Lister said that the central part of the proposed route ran through the campus, and that KU needed to cooperate with the city to make the route work better.
"Only special facilities we have been able to grant so far will no longer be available."

The Schoonam camp was closed, he said, because the government feared it could not provide adequate protection for the Jewish emigrants against Arab terrorist attacks.

Kohoutek Comet To Be Visible Late in Week
The comet Kohoutek should be visible this week through University telescopes, and attempts will be made to photograph it. Astronomers are working with a teaching assistant in physics and astronomy.
"We're losing it in the twilight right now," he said.
Later this week, Westergren said, an attempt will be made to view and photograph the comet through the 27-inch telescope on top of Lindley Hall.
Tah comet will be visible low on the eastern horizon at dawn by the end of October. The comet is brighten perceptibly through November, Westergren said, and by the middle of December the comet will be so close to the sun that it will be able to be seen during the night.
Westergren said viewing time would be scheduled so the public could see the comet through a telescope, particularly when it is sun and became visible in the evening sky.
Kansas Officials Oppose Proposal That Would Double Tuition Rates
By JEFFREY STINSON Kannan Staff Reporter
The Kansas Legislature is unlikely to more than double college tuition rates and increase financial aid to students, state officials said yesterday.
The Committee for Economic Development recommended Monday that students pay 50 per cent of instructional costs at the University system and provide a system of student aid be established.
"I am opposed to it," it said, John Conard,
"of University Relations. 'It's not a very good idea.'
The committee is a private, national organization funded by business and in-
Conard, who has been speaker of the Kansas House, said he didn't expect the revelation to change him.
Since the founding of the state's constitution, Conard said, the legislature has tried to provide essentially free education for the children of Kansans.
CONARD SAID THAT when he was a legislator there was an understanding in Topeka that student fees should cover only the cost of the cost of instruction at the colleges.
"They (the legislators) felt it was a reasonable load for the student to carry in comparison to what he was receiving," he said. "I feel there's no great sentiment among the legislators to alter that formula."
Max Bickford, executive officer of the Kansas Board of Regents, said he couldn't speak for the legislature but that the regents had resisted in the past any increase beyond the 25 per cent limit in the tuition rate.
Bickford said he wouldn't recommend
that the regents adopt the proposal.
The committee recommended that middle and upper income families, as well as low and moderate income families, have access to federal financial aid.
Although he was opposed to a tuition hike, Bickford said he was in favor of increasing the cost.
JAMES BIBB, STATE budget director,
said he thought the recommendation
was justified.
"I don't see the direction of the program
"Our legislature has had the policy of tuition being equal to 25 per cent of the costs of instruction excluding research," he said, and reluctant to see it go higher than that.
or how it would be carried out," he said.
Bibb said he thought the proposal was introduced to save the private institutions of higher education at the cost of public institutions.
"I would hate to destroy one to save another," he said.

More Charges Against Haskell Filed by Union
Four more charges of unfair labor practices against Haskell Indian Junior College were filed today by Local 45 of the National Federation of Federal Employees.
Two charges were sent to Sidney Carney, Bureau of Indian Affairs director from Anadarko, Okla., union President James Luther said. Two additional charges were sent to BIA Personnel Director Kelsey Kennedi in Muskogee, Okla., Luther said.
The union has asked the Civil Service Commission to evaluate the classification process at Haskell. Luther said the request was in response to a scheduled classification review requested of the BIA Halluzzi Superintendent Wallace Gallucci.
Eight charges had already been filed with the Haskell administration, Luther said. The four charges filed today are similar to the previous ones which charged that the university was located in granting promotions to the vocational and technical faculty at Haskell.
The BIA will begin its review Oct. 9.
