Yugoslavia strong despite Tito's death
By VANESSA HERRON
Staff Reporter
Despite the death of President Tito last May and severe economic problems, Yugolavia has maintained its moderate brand of socialism and its non-aligned political stance,Budimir Loncar, Yugoslavian ambassador to the United States, said yesterday.
"This is a sad and challenging year for Yugoslavia," Loncar told about 50 KU faculty members and students in the Kansas Union Forum Room.
He said the country missed President Josip Broz Tito, who had been a political force since the beginning of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1945.
"But at the same time, we are convinced his road should be followed." Longer said.
TO FOLLOW that road, he said, Yugoslavia must preserve a moderate form of socialism, an economy based on self-management and a nonaligned position in world politics.
In his lecture, sponsored by the department of Soviet and East European studies and the University Lecture Series, Lonarc outlined the history of Yugoslavia. He said his country had tried to remain non-aligned throughout its history.
"Deeply ingrained in the minds of the people are a love of freedom and equality and a fierce resistance to military aggression," the ambassador said.
Lyncolar served in the World War II Lugoslavian resistance when he was 15 years old.
Even though Yugoslavia now is surrounded on three sides by Soviet biotech nations, Lacard said it might have been more realistic.
About two-thirds of the world has opted for the principles of non-alignment, he said.
*Most non-aligned countries are less developed and have resisted the pressure to take aides.
By refusing to join either Eastern or Western powers, Loncar said, the countries have chosen
to preserve a democratic and humane world order.
LONCAR, A CAREER diplomat, did not specifically condemn the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan, but he did condemn the use of force in interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
He said, however, that international aggression was inevitable.
"The world is full of conflicts, big and small." he said. "Almost every country wants to protect its citizens."
Yugoslavia now is concerned with remaining neutral and with stabilizing its economy, he said.
After Yugoslavia rose from the ashes of World War II, it developed from a backward agricultural nation to an industrial power, Loncar said.
Under President Tito, Yugoslavia resisted Stalinist Russia's attempt to control eastern Europe, and it opened trade with the United States, Great Britain and France.
ownership. For example, about 85 percent of YouTube users own a computer or tablet.
"Yugoslavia has essentially a market economy," Loncar said.
Consumption and production in Yugoslavia rose so rapidly that there were undesirable side effects, including the 22.4 percent inflation rate projected by Business Week last year.
Under this mixture of capitalistic and centrally planned economies, Loncar said, Yugoslavia's industrial growth rate became one of the highest in the world.
TO CURB ITS INFRA rate. Lonarc said, Yugoslavia will slow wage increases and decrease its labor force.
The country's stabilization policy will be in effect until 1982, he said.
The policy is an example of Yugoslavia's ability to adapt to new problems, Loncar said.
He said non-conservatism was a quality of Tito's that would characterize Yugoslavian policy-making long after his death.
"President Tito was just one person," he said,
"and Yugoslavia is young and growing."

Beth Miller, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, uses her head to keep the KU women's soccer club busy during a recent practice. Miller, who founded the club this year, and Jay Yoffe, men's soccer club coach, are battling to have soccer recognized as a varsity sport. See story back page.
Wichita State University has renewed its efforts to meet the KU Jayhawks on the football field, but it looks as if no one here is willing to oblige.
The Wichita State Student Senate passed a resolution Oct. 8 that asks KU to cancel its 198 game with the University of Tulsa and play the Wichita State Shockers instead.
The resolution calls on the KU Student Senate to urge the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation to schedule a football game between the two schools.
Greg Snackke, student body president, said he had received a copy of the resolution but had not heard it.
Besides, Fambrough said, "We have a good schedule with Tulsa. They come here two years," he added.
DON FAMBROUGH, KU head football coach, said he would like to put Wichita State on the schedule, but breaking the contract to play Tulsa could cause legal problems for KU.
Fambrough said further comments on KU scheduling would have to come from Bob Marcum, athletic director, who was not available yesterday for comment.
Wichita State's resolution noted that the Oklahoma Board of Regents required the
University of Oklahoma to cancel a game with Wichita State to play Tulsa.
THE REASON given in the win was that an Oklahoma game would keep game见闻在 the state.
The resolution said a KU-Wichita State game would make money for both schools. However, Schnacke said he had not seen any figures supporting that statement.
Fambridge said that he had not investigated the possibility of playing Wichita State, but that the defense was strong.
With the economy and travel the way they are, we are going to have to start playing people close to us.
Fambrough also said Wichita State's team seemed to be improving.
TALK OF A KU-Wichita State game resurfaced when a state legislator from Wichita introduced a bill that would have forced the two teams to play. The bill failed.
Snackne said, "I might pass it (the resolution) around to next meeting and see if anyone wants me to do that."
But, he said, "I'd just as soon see somebody else handle it. I'd rather see us play some heftier teams." Yesterday afternoon, Schnacke decided to make a move for Sateen Sports Committee would want to examine.
Sports Committee Chairman Matt Keenan was not available for comment.
ClassEx drops local endorsements
By CINDI CURRIE
The Classified Senate executive committee last week named Suzanne Cuppa as the Classified Senate's new president and dropped the idea of endorsing local candidates, Tom Collins, ClassEx member, said yesterday.
Staff Reporter
After endorsement ballots were counted, the Senate found it could not endure any candidates because the required number of ballots had not been returned.
To endure candidates, 27 of the 30 classified senators had to complete and return ensemblment ballots, said Lewis Armstrong, ClassEx member.
From the minimum of 27 ballots that needed to be completed and returned, a candidate had to have 80 percent approval before he could receive endorsement.
He said the Senate did not endorse anyone because the committee received only 25 votes.
pleted. Armstrong said the results were split fairly evenly.
"I don't feel it is a sense of apathy," he said. There were just not strong feelings for endangerment.
Collins said, "The sentiment to endorse was a good one. The mechanics to that end was."
Armstrong said that individual classified members had endorsed local candidates but not themselves.
Collins said he and former Senate president Jan O'Neill had been approached by local candidates who had asked them for their endorsements.
He said he and O'Neill decided to endorse State Sen. Arnold Berman, a Democrat, for the Senate seat senate seat and Republican Winton Winton seat 44th District House of Representatives seat.

The Classified Senate was formed last year but was not recognized by the KU administration as part of the University governance system.
Cupp said recognition by the University was her primary goal as the new Senate proposal.
"I am chiefly concerned with the feeling that classified employees feel they are second-class citizens at the University," she said. "They're not."
SHE SAID the plan was a step forward for classified employees and should be given a fair chance during the first few months of its use.
She said that as president, she was pleased with the merit pay plan adopted by the Kansas Legislature last session, which bases salary increases on employee evaluations.
"I certainly think it is a good plan, and we should try to make it work," she said.

Toxic shock no threat to tampon sales
Gallagher said she had noticed an increase in beltless napkin sales.
By ROSE SIMMONS
Recent warnings by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta that tampons have been linked to toxic shock syndrome have had little effect on newborn babies. The same trend also tapped makers and Lawrence merchants.
"But the sales of other tampons are going strong," he said.
Jim Tutschule, manager of Super X Drugs, 1015 W. 23rd St., said Rely tampons were the biggest selling tampons before they were discontinued. The Merck and Gamble manufacturers of the product.
"Kotex, Playtex and O.B. aren't selling as well as they were before the news about toxic shock," she added.

which hasn't changed much, said
Dodgers pharmacy.
"I've had a lot of questions about whether other tampon looses as much of a risk to skin health as tampons."
The Food and Drug Administration issued a warning about Rely last month when a study released by the Center for Disease Control showed that 30 of the 42 toxic shock victims it studied used Rely tampons. Of the remaining toxic shock victims in the study, eight women used Playtex, two used Tampax, one used Kotex and one used O.B.
UNITED PRESS International reported yesterday that the FDA had proposed that all tampon products be labeled to warn women not to use them if they wanted to eliminate the risk of toxic shock.
The proposed warning label would say, "Warning: Tampons have been associated with toxic shock syndrome, a rare disease that can be fatal.
"You can almost entirely avoid the risk of getting this disease by not using tampons. You can reduce the risk by using tampons on and off during your period."
The proposed warning label also would describe the symptoms of toxic shock syndrome, a condition that occurs in 10 per cent of newborns.
The FDA said major tampon manufacturers already had agreed to start providing warnings with their products.
vomiting, diarrhea, rash and a rapid drop in blood pressure, often resulting in shock.
SEVERAL KU women surveyed last week said they would not stop using tampons.
Tammy Ames, Ocean, N.J., sophomore, said she no longer would use tampons. Ames was released from Watkins Hospital last Tuesday and has been given a shock disease. She had been using O.B. tampons.
But Powell said she would be more careful about using tampons because of the warnings.
Valencia Powell, Chicago senior, said the threat of toxic syndrome syndrome too serious to require an MRI.
"I feel the same way about the warning of toxic shock disease that I feel asbout cancer warnings on cigarette packs and diet sodas," she said. "It hasn't happened to me."
"I thought only Rely could give you toxic shock," she said, "because it was the tampon mentioned in the news. Since I didn't use ReLy, I pay much attention to news about toxic shock."
THE AMES SAID HER boyfriend took her to walks after she complained of a high fever and chest pain.
"The doctors said it was a close call," she said. "I had gone home, they said I probably would have died."
Basketball tickets on reserve for students new at semester
By ARNE GREEN
Staff Reporter
The Student Athletic Seating Board decided yesterday to reserve a limited number of student basketball season tickets for new students entering the University of Kansas in January.
The seating board, which consists of five students, including Greg Schnicke, student body president, works with Nancy Welsh, athletic manager, to set policies for student ticket sales.
Welsh said he received a letter from a student coming to KU for the spring semester who wondered whether he could get a basketball season ticket.
Basketball tickets are sold first semester because the basketball team plays games each
"I wanted to be able to respond to the letter." Welsh said, "but right now we have no provisions for it."
Nothing had been done in the past when the question came up, Welsh said, and new students were introduced.
"Since there have been requests, a minimal supply of season tickets, probably no more than 20 or 25, will be reserved for new students," she said.
Welsh added that the entire Big Eight conference schedule would be second semester.
Welsh said that 7,000 to 7,200 student season tickets were available and that they usually sold
The board also decided to allow students graduating at the end of the fall semester to attend games on their student season tickets, even if they no longer have valid KU IDs.
The procedure for graduating seniors wishing to attend basketball games second semester probably will be outlined when student season tickets go on sale in November, Welsh said.
The board decided to charge the full season ticket price for tickets purchased in January, even though four of the 14 home games are played on campus. Student season tickets will cost $13 this year.
"We will be doing the new students a favor, and they will still save a lot from the single-game ticket prices," said Sue Heley, Prairie Village junior and a member of the seating board.
Today will be clear and warmer with a high of 78, according to the KU Weather Service. Winds will be light and variable.
Tonight will be clear with a low near 48. Winds will be light and southerly.
Tomorrow's forecast calls for increasing cloudiness with temperatures in the high 70s. Winds are expected to be southerly at 10 to 15 mph.
