Last Spring, Bill Smith, San Diego, Calif., sold his car and borrowed $1,500 to finance a 4,000 mile cross-country trek to Washington, D.C.
Yesterday, Smith, 30, walked into the room to complete the leg of his journey. He recalled a painful abortion cause. He began his march June 13 and hopes to reach Washington Jam.

Supreme Court's ruling that legalized abortion
Smith said last night at the St. Lawrence Student Center, 1631 Crescent, that he was trying to promote action against online hate issue into the forefront of people's minds.
"My dream is to have 100,000 marchers in Washington, D.C., Jan. 22, and millions more letters; he said to a man who wrote to him that he wants to get people to stop and think about
Ideally, Smith said, he wants an amendment to the constitution reversing the 1973 Supreme Court ruling.
abortion. We're talking about a human life."
"All it would need to say is that from the moment of conception, you are a human being and no one can kill you," he said.
However, he said that millions of people would have to support the amendment for it to pass.
IN THE PAST, Smith has drummed up support for his hail and a "liberal" campaign to help the people of Cambodia last year to protest the "slaughter of hundreds of innocent boys" in India.
His walk began after he "took an honest look" at abortion and decided to do something visible because, until then, he had been a "closed right-to-lifer."
Ignorance and apathy are the main reasons why a girl is pregnant along the way. He said that sex without responsibility was contributing to social approval of abortion, because people do not want it.
The media, especially television, portrait sex without responsibility as means of obtaining love. Smith said, and thus society thinks it is acceptable.
"I'd like to shed some light on the subject for people," he said. "We've got to educate everyone."
SMITT SAID the pro-life issue was not necessarily a religious issue, as he does not practice any religion. He said he did not support the campaign to support the campaign against abortion
Pro-life organizations throughout the country are helping Smith by providing food and shelter. Others are organizing national letter writing campaigns.
"I want to force this issue in front of the public," Smith said. "Letters like vote are congressmen. I say this going to be an issue in the 1980 elections."

A manual had previously been published by a student in 1871. The administration in it collected and retained the teacher even after its completion, and the curriculum and instruction in the School of Education. However, the administration did not continue to publish the manual.

The bill outlines the membership, duties responsibilities and powers of the board.
In an amendment to the bill made by Scott Mach, law school senator, a provision to include the University General Counsel was removed.
Mach said he thought a conflict of interest would exist if the counsel representing the administration sat on the Student Legal Services Board.
The board also will prepare the budget and evaluate the program twice a year.

Search committee to look for Messer's replacement
Bob Marcus, KU athletic director, has said a three-man committee would begin review applications for athletic business manager this week.
The committee, made up of Marcum, Craig McCoy, treasurer of the Kansas University Athletic Corporation, and probably one other KUAC board member whom he mentored, has replaced the replacement for Doug Messer, assistant athletic director and business manager.
Marcum said he had received 32 applications by last Friday's deadline.
Messier said he would leave the University Sept. 30 because of personal and family reasons. He will take a similar position at Mississippi State University in Startville, Miss.
The committee will review all the applications, rank the applicants and then schedule interviews, he said.
"I really don't know how long it will take to name someone." Marcum said. "It will just be a matter of when I can get the applicants in for an interview."
Important considerations in choosing Messer's successor, Marcum said, will be experience with athletics and size of university where the applicant worked.
Marcum said he expected no problems in the business department if a new business manager was not named before Messer left.
"I'm sure we can go right along without any problems," Marcum said. "The personnel in the business department all know their jobs."
