David Waxman speaks to Dykes as Mert Buckley listens
Dykes Issues Funds Plea
Familiar Theme Repeated at Dinner
Bv BOB SIMISON
Kansan Editor
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes urged student leaders from both university of Kansas campuses last night to involve themselves in meeting what he called "the most serious problem facing KU," that of insufficient funding.
Dykes told 13 students from the Kansas City and Lawrence campuses that “it's inevitable the quality of education at both universities is unless there's an infusion of public funds.”
He spoke near the end of a four-hour dinner and discussion involving eight student leaders from the KU Medical Center, five student leaders from the Lawrence campus and five administrators from both campuses.
Although Dykes repeated what has become a consistent theme for him since he became chancellor July 1, he was backed by the University of Wichita senior and student body president.
Buckley said he and Dykes, had dined earlier in the day with a leader of the

that is people don't think the University
is a place where people can learn."
instigature isn't sure what the students are getting from the University."
"The public attitude about higher education is negative, and we've got to do something about it." Dykes said. "What the legislator is saying is that people think higher education is important, books and putting graduate students in the classroom where they ought to be."
"We have to convince people that support of higher education must improve or our doctors won't be a well enough educated, our lawyers won't be as well educated as they ought to be and the qualifications of our professional people will be diminished."
Dykes urged the students to point out the important contributions of the University in their studies.
"I'm concerned with the negative attitudes and comments that are made," said David Waxman, a student of the atlantic coast, who has an educational system by teaching it apart.
"What worries me is that many people who are being educated aren't supporting the system. If you don't think it's worrisome, then why they should support higher education."
The way was cleared for approval of the plan when Shawnee County commissioners turned down a proposal for the Topeka-Shawnee county health department to acquire the hospital and turn it into an institution for chronic disease care.
The state's plan was presented to the steering committee in a letter from Gov. Robert Docking, who urged its endorsement.
State Takeover OKd For Forbes Hospital
James Bibb, state budget director, told the steering committee that the state booed
Dykes had started the meeting, held in the chancellor's residence, with a call for a discussion "with no holds barred" of issues concerning students.
TOPEKA (AP)—A proposal by the state of Kansas for the state to acquire the hospital and adjacent land at Forbes Air Force Base was approved yesterday by the citizens' steering committee for the deactivation of Forbes Air Force Base.
The hospital and land would be used to relocate the state health department and laboratories, the state printing plant and a state records center.

Science faculties for most of the

"The student doesn't have any real power," said Kim Thompson, fourth-year木人.
He and his fellow representatives said there was no effective organization of students to handle grievances concerning such things as curriculum changes, a practice whereby instructors file confidential evaluations of students with their teachers in order to obtain the application of the code of student rights, privileges and responsibilities.
to acquire the hospital at the base and start moving state health department personnel to Forbes by Oct. 1 before the date set by the federal government for final closing of the base.
The state also plans to move the administrative offices of the state Board of Health to Forbes temporarily, Docking said, until new office space is available in the Capitol Area buildings to be built on land just south of the present statehouse.
The base is being closed by the Defense Department in an economy move.
The state proposes to negotiate with the federal government to buy adjacent land on which to build a new printing plant and a place to store records. In all, the state proposes to acquire about 14 acres at Forbes.
Consolidation of the health department at Forbes would entail virtually no cost, compared with the estimated $ 6.3 million for the laboratory for the department, Docking said.
Bibb said the state now was "moving rapidly" to complete its application to the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare to acquire the hospital and adjacent land. He said state officials probably needed a week with HEW regional representatives.
Docking said in his letter that the state planned to move laboratories of the state health department and the Division of Environmental Health to Forbes.
The state will negotiate with the General services Administration for acquisition of equipment.
This move would consolidate parts of the health department which is now in four states.
The state no longer would need to purchase the New England Building in downtown Topeka at a cost of $1.3 million, he said. Moving the health department to Topeka would increase the old First National Bank building here which the state purchased three years ago.
"Response to power and coercion is how things are run at the Med Center," said Karen Fischer, an assistant professor of human
"And the political ball game is so complex," said Ernest Turner, another medical student. "You're trying to stay in school, too, so you have you in this vise."
The students and Waxman are seeking to construct a mechanism to increase student influence in faculty and administration and is said. Dykes voiced support for the effort.
He said the state hoped to begin occupying the hospital before the final surgery.
'Federal officials have indicated to us that the state can receive the building.'
"There has to be a way for students to work together to get things changed," he said.
Nancy Archery, Animosa, Iowa, senior and student body vice president, agreed with the medical students that some faculty would be involved in student governance.
"One role of education ought to be to prepare professionals and educated intellectuals who can govern themselves. We're too involved with going to the office, many times, to get involved even in voting on election day."
But Dykes responded, "It's incumbent on students to be involved. If you be accustomed
AAUP to Pressure Dykes About Tenure
Dykes said he hoped to meet regularly with student leaders from both campuses.

The University of Kansas Chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) yesterday voted unanimously to urge Chancellor Archie R. Hill to request the release of reports from the four committees studying faculty tenure.
Roy Laird, professor of political science, moved that the AAPU urge the chancellor to request the committees to release the reports "immediately."
Dykes was not available for comment last night.
John Wright, professor of psychology and a member of the University Senate Executive Committee (SenEx), he would "push SenEx to call a special meeting (to consider the matter) if there does not order the reports released."
James Scear, professor of history and chairman of SenEx, said he "personally agreed with Wright" and would "assist him if it becomes necessary."
One of the tenure committee chairmen,
Ernest Angsted, professor of geology, said he
was pleased with the progress.
However, Angino and the chairman of two other tenure committees adamantly refused to disclose the reports' contents without an approval from the chancellor.
"Darn it all to hell," Angina said before the motion was made, "I feel it is a part of my responsibility not to release the report until the chancellor has seen it. He commissioned these committees, and I think he should have that right."
Donald Brownstein, assistant professor of philosophy, said, "You (committee members) have to go out there in procedural, but they're rather momentous to the faculty members involved. There is a great need for urgency but we may never hear about these reports for God knows how."
"Why are you people so damned condemned and not releasing the reports," he asked, and not releasing the reports." he asked.
Brownstein said that as the reports went through official channels they would assist with the investigation.
Wright said that if the reports were submitted for consideration by the entire
faculty, they would never be released. He cited the recent Affirmative Action plan as an example and predicted that the North center review new year would be similar.
"Any committee you could appoint is not going to be any more representative of the faculty as a whole than Committee B (the committee studying the impact of tenure decisions)," Angino said. He is chairman of that committee.
T. P. Srinivasan, professor of mathematics and chairman of the policy review committee, said the members of his committee represented "all shades of opinion—both extremes and all degrees of gray between."
But several AAPU members disagreed. Laird said, “There’s no one in this room who has greater admiration for (Chancellor Emeritus) Raymond Nichols than I, but I think Nichols or John Wright—I’m still not sure who set up these committees—made a
boo-boo in appointing these committees in the summer. Why couldn't it have been put off three months so the majority of the faculty could participate?"
Charles Kiesler, professor of psychology and chairman of the Faculty Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities Committee asked Mr. Prater (MPR), said Laird's question was debatable.
"What do you do now?" is the real question," Kiesler said. "I think the committee did a bang-up job, but the true measure of whether faculty input has been given to us, or not you feel satisfied that it has. If not, then we need to take action to correct it."
Kiesler's committee received the secret reports from the four tenure committees
Klesier said FRPR would "forward the reports intact with a letter, transmit it electronically."
Court Agrees to Hear Nixon's Tape Appeal
By MARGARET GENTRY Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON—President Nixon's lawyers yesterday asked a federal appeals court to mull the demand of John J. Sirica, U.S. District Court judge, to hear tape recordings sought by the Watergate grand jury.
The White House lawyers asked for an unusual hearing before the entire nine-member U.S. Circuit Court, because the matter involved "the paramount question" of whether a President can be forced to give evidence in criminal proceedings.
The appeals court immediately granted the request for the hearing. It set next Monday at noon as a deadline for Judge Sirica and special Watergate prosecutor James Cox to reply to the White House motion and scheduled arguments for next Tuesday at 1 a.m.
Meanwhile, Judge Siraced granted the White House until Sept. 24 to reply to
separate lawsuit in which the Senate Watergate committee seeks tapes and papers related to the Watergate wiretapping. Sirica said he was "determined not to be rushed into a half-baked job" in deciding the committee's case.
Nixon's lawyers tried the appeal court that the decision "is clearly erroneous and beyond the power of the judicial branch in that it pursuits to subject the President of the United States to compulsory process for acts performed in his official capacity."
Nixon has contended throughout the historic debate that the courts have no jurisdiction to force disclosure of private information between the President and his advisers.
Sirica ruled, however, that the grand jury was entitled to information bearing on criminal charges.
He asked for the nine tapes for his private inspection so that he could determine if

Bovle Charged in Yablonski Case
BY SUSAN'S REIMER
Associated Press Writer
PITTSBURGH-Former United Mine Workers President-W. A. "Tony" Boyle was charged with murder and arrested in connection with the Yablonski family slayings.
Almost simultaneously, Boyle, the deposed union leader and hand-picked heir of the late John L. Lewis, also was inducted to insecurity charges stemming from the case.
The developments climaxed $3\frac{1}{2}$ years of arrests and trials that followed the slayings
of UMW insurgent Joseph A. *J. "Jock" Yablonski and Yablonski's wife and daughter on New Year's Eve, 1969, in nearby Clarksville, Pa.
The charges were made here and in Washington, Pa., on the basis of disclosures from William J. Turnblazer, S2, a middle-level UMV* official who was quoted by investigators as saying Boyle had instigated the murder plot.
Like Boyle, Turnblazer was charge both with murder at the state level and with conspiracy by a federal grand jury here. He pleaded guilty to the federal conspiracy.
charge at once and publicly acknowledged his role in the case.
Boyle was arrested in Washington, D.C. "I don't know what it's all about," Boyle said.
The killings occurred three weeks after Boyle defeated Yablonski in a hard-fought election for the UMW's presidency. Boyle was unseated a year later by Arnold E. Miller, a Yablonski ally, in a court-ordered rerun of that election.
The government said Yablonski had been slain primarily to keep him from testifying before a federal grand jury probing alleged UMW financial improprieties.
A jetliner carrying five Palestinians and six Arab hostages landed in Kuwait.
After ending their 3,000-mile flight from Paris yesterday where they seized the hostages, the Palestinian gunmen renewed a demand for the release of Abu Daoud, an Al Fatah guerrilla leader serving a life sentence in Jordan for nontaine against Kine Hussain.

Ten prison guards were held by inmates at an Illinois prison but were later released.
The hostages were held for nearly nine hours at Stateville Penitentiary in Joliet. They were released after state police told the inmates their entire cellblock would be flooded with tear gas if the guards were not released immediately.
The inmates had earlier asked to meet with Illinois Department of Corrections director Allyn Sleifh, but officials had said no meetings would be held.
One time the messages we received were from the inmates, the inmates had submitted a list of demands, including one that more blacks be hired for the prison security

Energy official said U.S. oil rationing could begin if Arab states cut off supply
But the official, Charles Dibona, deputy director of the White House Office of Energy Policy, said there was no evidence that any such oil-cut-off was.
Last weekend Libya nationalized 51 per cent of the foreign oil companies operating there, and King Feisal of Saudi Arabia is believed to favor these new producers.
Libya also announced a stiff price increase of more than $1 a barrel.
