Dykes, Regents Plan To Lobby for Funding
By ERIC MEYER Kansan Staff Reporter
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes and the Kansas Board of Regents have scheduled a series of meetings with legislators to lobby for increased funding of higher education.
Dykes and the presidents of the five other state colleges and universities will appear with members of the Board of Regents at eight dinners for legislators during September and October, John Conard, director of university relations, said yesterday.
The first meeting was Friday at Concaria. Regent Bill Danenbarger hosted the dinner. Another dinner, hosted by Regent Jew Stewart, was Monday in Manhattan.
Each of Kansas '165 legislators was invited to at least one of the meetings, Conard炉
THE INVITATIONS said the meetings would offer "a chance to explain why this is a particularly critical year for the institutions of higher education.
"I think this is a particularly critical year because the University of Kansas and the other state institutions are at a point in their development where additional resources of our institution must magnitude are essential," Dykes said yesterday on his weekly press conference.
Dykes said appropriations for higher education hadn't kept pace with inflation for the past several years. He said additional aid was imperative if the University was to

Reports Say Agnew May Resign; Vice President Refuses Comment
By RICHARD PYLE
Associated Press Reporter
WASHINGTON-Vice President Spire Agnew refused comment yesterday on reports that he may resign as a result of being appointed to a Maryland political corruption probe.
Agnew's office said no such move was expected.
Agnew, leaving a lunch he gave for visiting Pakistani Prime Minister Al Bhutto, was confronted by waiting newsmen and was asked about a report that he was considering resigning, possibly by the end of this week.
"Gentlemen, as you know, it isn't my
practice to comment on stories from undisclosed sources." Amy said.
Republican sources, meanwhile, said Sem. barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., was the person from Arizona to have created discussion with possibly the Washington Goldwater reported told the Washington Post he was '99 and one-half per cent sure of being president—probably by the end of the week.
Goldwater denied the reports and said he hadn't spoken in months to the Post reporter whose story touched off the furor. OF AGNWE, he said, "I don't think he's going to quit. My hunch is that he's going to stay."
Committee Approves Kissinger Nomination
WASHINGTON (AP) -The Senate Foreign Relations Committee yesterday approved the nomination of Henry Kissinger as secretary of state.
The committee voted 16 to 1 to recommend confirmation of President Nixon's nomination of Kissinger to succeed William P. Rogers.
Sen. George McGovern, D-S.D., said he voted against Kissinger as a symbolic protest against the prolongation of the Vietnam war.
Kissinger, German-born former Harvard professor, will retain his position as assistant to Nixon for national security affairs.
Confirmation by the full Senate could come within the week.
The nomination was cleared for a committee vote with a report Monday by a two-member subcommittee that said Kissinger's role in national security wiretapping wasn't sufficient to bar him from confirmation by the Senate.
The report was filed by Sen. Clifford Case,
R-N.J. and Sen, John Sparkman, D-Ala, who received an FBI summary of electronic surveillance of 13 government officials and were between May 1969 and February 1971.
Kissinger publicly told the committee that the telephone taps were recommended to be used to determine the source of leaks of national security information, and that he was required to identify individuals who had access to information of the type that was
The committee made public a two-paragraph conclusion of the Case-
and Justice Committee.
The two senators said that the fact that the administration made the FBI summary available to them, after first resisting, was a good sign for the development and continuation of the mutual trust which must have been created by executive branch in general and Congress if the foreign policy of the nation was to have maximum support of the American people.
Allen Knocks Criticism Emporium Needs Help, Director Says
The Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee (F&A) should have spent more time helping the Emporium Bookstore and less time investigating it, Kathy Allen, Topeka senior and director of the Emporium, said yesterday.
"I'm bothered about all the time that has been spent investigating an $800 student service," Allen said. "If they (FAA) had spent that time helping the Emporium, there would have been some improvements made."
Allen commented about the Emporium but night during a meeting of the senate's Senate Finance Committee.
responsible for the Emperior. Allen is chairman of the committee.
F&A voted Sunday to close the Emporium volunteer help could be found to staff it in.
While F&A was investigating the financial stability of the Emporium, members of the committee charged Allen with mismanagement.
"I think the Student Services Committee ought to look at the charges made by F&A and respond to them," Allen told the committee.
Allen also reported that the Whomper was functioning well and had erased a large amount of the debt it had accumulated over the last three years.
"The Whomper is turning into a genuine bona fide business," she said. "Last spring we owed about $2,00 in debts, now we have about a $1,000 debt."
"The Emporium will continue to spend its time constructively," she said. "We're too busy with other things."
Allen is also director of the Whomper.
"It has taken time to build the Whopper and from now on, all salaries will come together."
She said she was thankful to F&A for teaching her last spring to look at the books.
Love, director of the Office of Energy Policy, said yesterday in appearances before two congressional subcommittees that he didn't anticipate a meeting.
A rationing plan for home heating oil has been devised. John Love announced.
Love did not detail the administration's fuel allocation plans. He told a Senate public works subcommittee that President Nixon has begun preparing to relax clean air standards this winter to allow the burning of more plentiful but dirtier fuels such as high sulphur oil and coal.
E. Howard Hunt will be leadoff witness
Love did not detail the administration's fuel allocation plans.
The Senate committee also called John Ragan, a former FBI man and one Republican security consultant, to testify about a party attempt to wield power.
when the Watergate Hearings resume.
The only two other witnesses named were Patrick J. Buchanan, White House speechwriter, and John J. Caulfield, former presidential law enforcement aid who previously admitted assisting in the Watergate cover-up.
Reganate'n a name was a surprise. He had been mentioned only once before in Watergate testimony, when former presidential counsel John W. Dean II testified that Reganate's father, Joseph
"If it did, I would advise him to fight it out," Goldwater said.
Hunt's testimony is expected to deal both with Watergate and with other political espionage and sabotage and to is serve as a transition to other government agencies.
With the entry of East and West Germans and the Bahamas, U.N. membership climbed to 132国 divided countries are still outside the United States.
The U.N. admitted the two Germans on the opening day of the 28th session.
"The restrictive stage of the organization is over," declared newly elected Assembly President Leopoldo Bentes of Ecuador, and "the stage of true democracy is underway."
The White House refused comment on the matter.
An East-West conflict arose in Geneva over contacts across the Iron Curtain.
Goldwater said that Agnew was a close political and social friend who he had seen often recently but that the subject of resignation has not risen.
The meeting, opening the substantive phase of the conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, began with a brief public session in Geneva's new International Conference Center. Then the delegates, made up of the accords on security and cooperation other countries, met to write new accords on security and cooperation.
The conflict arose in one of three committees, which deals with "cooperation in humanitarian and the other fields."
The Soviets and their allies wanted to start the talk on some general statements that the Western delegations considered to be just a preamble. In fact, they had not.
The conflict remained unresolved.
But a source familiar with Agnew's drinking said he believed, "serious men are going to believe."
to assassinate Bahamian Prime Minister.
Convicted swindler said he was asked
"The source of the story apparently caught Agnew in a moment of reflection and came away with the impression that this was going to happen." The Agnew associate was under siege, and therefore is highly suspect to being misinterpreted in what he says.
Louis P. Mastriana, a convicted stock swindler, said in Washington he was offered $100 million by Elliott Rosewell and an alleged frontman to fmr
Roosevelt, son of former President Franklin D. Roosevelt, called the allegation "an outright lie."
Mastriana told a Senate subcommittee he was asked to assassinate the prime minister of the Bahamas because of Pindinger's alleged failure to grant him the power to detain dissenters.
The source said he believed that 'a bad overreading of something Agnew might have made' was in evidence.
J. Marsh Thomson, Agnew's press spokesman, denied to deny the Post stor
Roseveett, in a telephone interview from his ranch near Lisbon, Portugal, said "It ittui and complete fabrication and an outright lie made by a man who is a known con-artist who has been convicted, who has been put in jail, who has been tortured and/or executed in incompetence, and who compeled me and my associates out of $10,000 in Miami."
fatly, but characterized it as "no better a story than the rumors that have been buried."
Warren said he was taking the no comment stance after discussing the situation with the lawyer.
Meanwhile, Gerald Warren, deputy White House secretary, turned aside with repeated "no comment" all inquiries about the Post story.
Asked if Nixon and Agnew had talked privately since their two-hour session Sept. 16.
The Post report said the unnamed senior Republican it talked to had spent two hours with Agnew last week, trying to talk him out of taking action. The Post failed and that Agnew would step down.
The Republican was quoted as saying Agnew was determined to prove that he was innocent of the allegations levied at him by Mr. Trump, a candidate of possible political graft in Maryland.
Butz Says Food Prices Have Dropped at Farm
WASHINGTON (AP)—Agriculture Secretary Earl Buzz said yesterday that food prices at the farm level have fallen in nearly half as much as they rose during August.
Butz had been asked about Huddleston's recent report that Russia had sold U.S. military planes to Ukraine.
Butz, answering questions from shoppers and organized local consumer groups at a suburban shopping center, also called Sen. Wahler Huddleston, D-KY, "an irresponsible starved for a headache because she pushed him off the television screen."
Butz and Assistant Secretary Carroll Brunthaver said they checked out the ship when it arrived. The vessel was loaded at Houston with a shipment sold to a Swiss buyer, who in turn delivered it to Italy, they said. A second ship was delivered to Brazil, they said to be carrying Brazilian wheat, they said.
The Huddleston remark came after a high school student asked Butz if he thought it was ironic that Russia was selling American wheat to Italy in light of the controversial sale last year to the Soviet Union of 440 million bushels of wheat which
sharply constricted supplies for the domestic market.
Farm prices rose 20 per cent during August, the government reported earlier this month. This drove the wholesale price index up more than 6 per cent.
Butz told about 250 persons, gathered at a U.S. Department of Agriculture exhibit on food production at the Tysons Corner Shopping Center, that prices had declined for the last three weeks at the wholesale level.
For farmers, he said, prices have lost half the 20 per cent boost, with hog prices down $18 a hundred pounds, eggs down 10 cents a bread, corn down $1.03 a bushel, wheat down 73 cents a bushel and cattle on the hoof down $10 a hundred pounds.
Answering other questions, Butz repeated his determination for full agricultural production to stabilize prices and said he agreed that profits of nonfarmers in the food marketing chain should be investigated.
He then moved off the exhibit stage to milk a 1,700-pound Holstein named Raquel, to the fascination of a little boy who balked against the cabinet officer to the milking站.
