By MARY LOFTUS
Kansas Staff Reporter
Next week's Skylab 2 splashdown will answer an important question for a team of KU geological researchers, according to the Yarger, Kansas Geological Survey report.
The question is whether satellites can be used to detect and help prevent water pollution.

project.
Yarger said the Skylar astronauts had activated sensors on Kansas which evaluated water in Elk City, Toronto, Fall River and Richmond reservoirs.
At the same time, ground crews checked the water for the presence of certain contaminants.

The checks might also help predict water pollution problems before they become serious.
For example, said Yarger, if agricultural fertilizer was contaminating a city's supply of drinking water, early detection could be achieved by satellite.

"We were called militant when all we did was attend conferences and take over the microphone to explain the movement," he said.
Means then spoke of the occupation of Wounded Knee.
Concerning the communist-inspired charge, Means said that he wasn't afraid to say that the American Indian society was undergoing a sample of how communism could work.
"I am not a revolutionist, but I do believe that I am a liberationist," he said. And this would be a good thing.
MEANS SAID the seven major defendants of the Wounded Knee incident faced sentences of 85 to 185 years in federal pentures when over 30 defended. He said that the case involved 30 defended who faced terms of no less than five years each if they were convicted.
The people of the Pine Ridge reservation in which Wounded Knee lies, he said, came to AIM to ask for its advice and help their grounds for complaint were the 1888 Sioux treaty which, according to Means, gave the Natives their land rights. Their reservation. That treaty had been violated by non-Indian landowners on the reservation. he said.
"We will use the 1868 Sloan treaty as our defense," Means said. "If that does not work we will have no alternative but to get it into prison and then to prison. And if I don't walk into prison."

Means concluded his prepared speech with a quote by Chief Sealthe, chief of the Army.
Seattle said to the generals who were moving his tribe to a reservation, "Nation follows nation and tribe follows tribe. It is like the waves of the sea, it is the order of nature.

After answering several questions from the audience, Means turned the microphone over to Lester Jessepke, chairman of the committee. He started to read a statement he had prepared concerning the Potawatami Indians' protests against BIA intervention in their tribal government, a statement which underscored an afternoon news conference.
AFTER STARTING to read, Jessepe became visibly shaken and appeared close to tears. Calvin Masqa, former chairman of the Tacwatiwan, took over the microphone.
