Walker: KU to Stay in Big 8
Athletic Director Discounts Pullout over Finances
Clyde Walker, University of Kansas athletic director, said last night that although KU's athletic department needed increased funding, the school wasn't considering dropping out of the Big Eight Conference.
A suggestion that financial pressures might force the six Kansas colleges and universities out of their respective conferences if the Kansas Legislature doesn't supplement school athletic budgets was made Friday at a meeting of the Kansas Board of Regents by Regent Henry Bubb of Topeka.
The regents, meeting at Kansas State University, unanimously approved a request to the legislature for $70,000 in funding to support state colleges and universities in Kansas.
Walker that KU was not considering withdrawing from the Big Eight.
"Certainly nothing that drastic is being
"But I don't think there's any question that the athletic program is in need of aid. We're hanging on desperately at this point, and something has to be done soon. We're exploring different avenues, and legislative support is one of them.
"What Bubb is possible if we don't get any help in the future."
The request to the legislature, written by Bubb, would give KU and K-State $190,000 each. Wichita State would receive $120,000, Kansas City would receive $80,000, and Hays each would receive $50,000.
About 75 per cent of each school's allocation, would help athletic departments pay student fees for athletics on scholarships. The other 25 per cent would be used by the school's nonathletes, including student government music or journalism.

The athletic support program, Bubb said, is lower in priority than the improvement of faculty salaries. The regents publicly have been criticized for not paying faculty pay raises over a three year period.
meeting that two out-of-state Big Eight schools subsidized athletics with similar funding.
State athletic aid also is lower in priority than a suggested 10-percent increase in physical activity.
Court Battle Looms Agnew Sources Say
By MARGARET SCHERF Associated Press Reporter
WASHINGTON-Vice President Spiro Agnew was reported to have been proceeding yesterday with plans to "defend his constitutional office."
Two developments over the weekend indicated the vice president intended to try to retain his office and fight charges of political corruption.
AGNEW HAS DENIED allegations growing out of a federal grand jury probe in Baltimore that he took political kickbacks for awarding construction contracts while he was governor of Maryland and while he was a Baltimore County executive. Melvin Laired, presidential counselor, was asked to review the report of the source of published reports that Agnew was considering resigning and was "enauged in plea bargaining."
Those charges, Laird said, "are false. I had no such conversations with reporters." Laird was interviewed on the CBS television show, "Face the Nation."
Agnew will move in court next week to block a grand jury investigation, sources close to the vice president revealed Saturday.
Agnew's sides have denied the reports. In its editions yesterday the Washington Post quoted informed sources as saying that lawyers for Agnew and others had taken a deadlocked in their negotiations over Agnew's possible resignation and acceptance of a guilty plea in the Maryland investigation.
"He is going to defend his constitutional office," Agnew's lawyer, Judah Best, was quoted by WTTG-TV in Washington as saving.
This seemed to indicate that motions filed in behalf of the vice president would argue that he could not be indicted without first being impached and removed from office. Further evidence of Agnew's fighting mood was the disclosure Saturday by an aide that "an Agnew defense fund" was being organized.
THE POST reported Saturday that Agnew's lawyers and the department officials had been engaged in "delicate negotiations" concerning a possible Agnew resignation to be coupled with a guilty plea to a relatively minor offense.
Laird refused to answer questions on the vice president's situation, saying that President Nixon and Apose had agreed to take the initiative of hiring members of their staffs not to discuss the matter.
He said the vice president had requested the meeting with Nixon, but he added: "That should not be judged one way or another."
Laird was asked about his reaction to reports that congressional Democrats had decided that if Agnew resigned they would not approve any successor picked by the President who might be a presidential candidate in 1978.
"Congress will not impose that kind of condition," Laird said. "There are no conditions set in the constitutional amendment covering this matter."
Under a constitutional amendment adopted after John F. Kennedy's assassination, when the vice presidential office becomes vacant, the President is empowered to choose a new vice president with the approval of Congress.

Decision Due Soon on Fee Hike
According to station owners, the lower the level of gasoline in their storage tanks, the more likely that a comparatively large amount of dirt, rust and other foreign matter would be mixed in the fuel because the foreign matter is concentrated at the bottom.
WATER ALSO CAN condense on the sides of a nearly empty tank and be mixed with gasoline. Because more tanks are being pumped dry in the gasoline shortage, more people are getting impurities in their fuel.
"The lower you let your tank get, the more apt you are to pull this stuff into the bottom."
However, none of these impurities can be passed along to the consumer at a Standard station, he said, because filters are used behind the nozzles on the pumps. These filters currently must be replaced more often than in the past. he said.

Fuel Shortage Stirs Up Impurities for Motorists
The current gasoline shortage may be having an effect besides the obvious one on gasoline.
Richard Riggs, lessee of the Riggs Concoction Service at 1901 Massachusetts St., further detailed the effects impurities could have on a car.
Horton said fuel impurities could cause hard starting and stalling when the inadequate fuel supply reached the engine. It causes fuel supplying, he said, it won't damage the engine.
CAR OWERS can minimize the danger of getting impurities in the fuel line by keeping the tank as full as possible, Riggs said.
Riggs said these conditions would result in harder starting and an overhaul of the carburetor would be necessary to correct them.
Several area service station owners have reported an increase in the number of cars with clogged fuel lines, apparently because of the greater amount of impurities in gasoline that is pumped from the bottoms of their tanks.
"My gasoline hasn't been as free of foreign matter as it has in the past," Ron Horton, owner of Hillcrest Standard Service, 914 Iowa st., said Saturday.

Hunt, an employee of the Central Intelligence Agency for 21 years until his resignation in 1970, pleaded guilty to conspiracy, burglary and wiretapping in the Watergate break-in. He has since asked Sirica to allow him to withdraw the plea.
Buckley said that if the administration didn't fund the programs, the senate would have to vote an increase in the student security fee for spring semester to fund them.

"We might be suffering from the same financial difficulties that you are already facing."
