New names for Soviet Union proposed in Kremlin debate
Three new names were proposed yesterday for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, including two that do away with the word "Soviet."
In a parliamentary debate on the union treaty that is being drawn up between the Kremlin and the 15 Soviet republics, these names were proposed; the Union of Sovereign Socialist States; the Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics, and the Union of Euro-Asian Republics.
Rafik Nishanov, chairperson of one of the Supreme Soviet's two chambers and an ethnic Indian, said: "The country needs

The treaties, intended as a first step toward slowing the race to develop ever larger nuclear bombs, will be amended.
But the verification procedures, which provoke for on-site inspection teams fielded by both sides, may become important precedents for more ambitious treaties to come, supporters said.
The Carter administration wanted a comprehensive test ban rather than a limitation. The Reagan administration held them up because it believed the United States would be unable to verify Soviet compliance, and charged that Moscow had violated the ceiling on at least two dozen occasions.

The PNET places identical limits on nuclear blasts for peaceful purposes, such as seismic exploration or excavation. The United States has already been deactivating its nuclear program in 1973, and the Soviets ceased such blasts in 1988.
The treaties, which limit underground explosions to 150 kilotons or less, were drafted during the Nixon and Ford administrations but were held under some conditions about whether they could adequately be verified.
Those doubts were largely erased by a new set of verification rules agreed to by Bush and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev on June 1 during their Washington summit meeting. The verification rules, in many ways, are more important than the testing limits imposed by the treaty.
The treaties lag far behind current arms control reality, which contemplates massive reductions in the U.S. and Soviet nuclear arsenals and sharp cuts in conventional forces.

Bars offer fun, tradition

It's Friday, it's sunny. You're finished with classes for the week. Where do you go? Many students choose either Wagon Wheel Cafe, better known as the Wheel, the Jayhawk Cafe, often known as the Hawk, or the Rock Chalk Bar, known by many different names, depending on how long you've gone to school here.
These drinking establishments, located a few steps off campus, have wonderful, relaxed atmospheres for enjoying a beer and talking with friends. However, probably the last thing on students' minds as they order the first drink of the weekend is the history of each of these traditional student gathering places.
The Wagon Wheel Cafe.
The Wheel. 507 W. 14th St., serves food as well as drinks. Before it opened in 1954 it was Rowland's Bookstore, built in 1910. The bars on the windows are not for keeping out of scratches out; they were put up during the Depression to protect business in that rough time.
Another rough time came in the '60s. According to 1969 issues of the University Daily Kansan, Wheel owner John Wooden, nicknamed Dr. Woo, reported that beer consumption for the restaurant fell from an average of 200 cases of beer a week to about 60 cases a week because of extensive drug use in the area.
Business did pick up, however. Many famous people enjoy the tradition of the Wheel, especially on game days. Just a few weeks ago, coach Larry Brown could be seen enjoying a cold one. In 1978 comedian Flip Wilson bought $200 worth of beer for the crowd. In 1986, Sport magazine named the Wheel one of the country's country to watch a basketball game at.
Just down the street from the Wheel is another traditional KU watering hole, the Hawk, 1340 Alho St. An October 1981 issue of *The Washington Post* reported that Wallace saying that the Hawk had a full service kitchen and was the only place close to campus that served food until 1972, when
The Jayhawk Cafe.
the Kansas Union began food service
In the '60s, the part of the bar nearest 14th Street was a grocery store. Earlier than that, the Hawk was known as a "slang cafe," meaning that employees used code words for the beverages served there. For the hawk, the Hawk was known as a "shoot" because of the shout the dispenser. People went there just to listen to the waitresses call out the orders.
The Rock Chalk Bar.
Another bar with a rich, and even shady,
history is the Rock Chalk Bar, 618 W. 12th
St. It is also known as the Crossing,
although that is not its official name.
Opened in the early 1920s as the Rock Chalk Cafe, it served a food and fountain shop. In 1936 a KU student was quoted as saying, "No one has enough money to buy students also could not buy beer because Kansas enforced Prohibition until the 1950s.
A 1968 Kansan article referred to "the Chalk," calling it the "home of the beautiful people." One satisfied customer enjoyed going there because he could "drink without feeling like you have to pick up some broad."
At that time, the Chalk had the only jake box in town with music by Cream, First Edition, Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly and Jimi Hendrix.
Shortly thereafter it reopened with a different name and changed hands during the next several years. Today, the name is still changing. Among its nicknames are the Hawk's Crossing, the Rock Chalk and the Crossing.
The Chalk closed in 1971 for various reasons, one being the claim that too much drug traffic was going through it. A Kansan editorial described the last night the Chalk was open: "A keg, a bonfire and a lot of grass helped soothe the frustration."
These establishments have their own diverse heritages, but they have one thing in common—they all great places for KU students to kick back and make some history of their own.
A headline that day read, "Freaks mourn close of Chalk."
