Student loan bill fails twice in Senate
A bill that would have created a new government-backed education-loan program for parents and would have raised loan limits and the cost of loans to be paid by two votes twice last night in the U.S. Senate.
The bill, a Higher Education Re-Authorization proposal, would have re-authorized most major higher-education programs through the 1985-86 academic year. Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kan., voted against the bill. Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., voted in favor.
"The Senate had passed its own version of the Higher Education bill and I voted for it."
Kassebaum said last night from her office in Washington, D.C.
"It was sent to the House of Representatives and they cut out the savings we had worked into the bill. They polluted the cost with irresponsible proposals," she said.
KASSEBALUM SAID THE HOUSE version of the
book is on sale for $49.95. An extra
an extra 18 billion during the life of the bill.
"the bill we passed set limits on the spending,
the money, a generous bill," she said.
"I voted against it, I voted against it."
feel we have to draw the line on excess spending."
Because Kassebaum is a member of the budget committee, she should not vote for the nomination.
"I'm a strong supporter of higher education and I want very much to see legislation passed in support of it, but this sort of spending was just irresponsible," she said. "There were some excesses built into this bill that we would have had a hard time living with in the future."
She said it would be up to the House to send it back to committee for re-working and further development.
Draft sign-up gains 93% compliance
By BILL VOGRIN Staff Reporter
Despite protests at post offices nationwide and court action that claimed it was unconstitutional, a Selective Service System official said the system had been run when which started in late July, had gone quite smoothly.
According to Clarence Boston, records manager for the Selective Service in Washington, C.I.A. percent of the men born in Ohio who were requested by law to register for the draft did so on time.
Since the end of two-week period, an additional 6 percent have registered, which brings the number of registered men in the city to 1,983. The number registered to 93 percent as of Aug. 22, Boston said.
"Compared to 1973, the registration has gone really well," Boston said. "In '73 only 77 percent of the men registered on time."
IN LAWRENCE, 833 men registered for the draft last month.
"The men can register at any of over 34,500 post offices across the country and are not restricted by hometown or birthplace." Boston has a database to draw any type of regional or local comparisons.
Based on census figures taken in 1970, the number of men in the 20 and 21-year-old bracket was figured by Selective Service officials to be 3,880,000. The agency subtracted the average number of deaths, institutionalized people and men already on active duty since 1970.
"Actually, we were surprised; many people noted how few people were ever at any one post office at one time registering." Boston said. "It was really spread out."
In recent campaign stops in Lawrence, both Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., and John Simpson, the Democratic opponent in the race for Dole's Senate seat, spoke against draft registration.
Simpson opposed it because he said it would not enhance military defense. He said the money spent on registration could be better spent on pay increases for current armed forces personnel.

THAT DOLE BLASTED the registration, enacted by

"It was designed somehow to show the Soviet
union we mean business, but it is just a weak symbol," Dole said.
Dole said the registration did not overcome any of the criticism of the volunteer army. He said it did not train men, increase the number of troops in the armed forces, or help in any way.
"The only thing draft registration does is create, in my opinion, a false sense of security with respect to our national preparedness," Dole said.
Dole also said the registration was ignored by many young men, but he did not advocate punishment or prosecution.
"It would cost too much to trace them down and bring them to court. They are still taking late registrations. I do not encourage anyone to break a law of the country. I think there were problems in communication, and confusion after the court problems," Dole said.
"Men not registering can be prosecuted," Boston emphasized. "Penalty for failure to register is five years in jail, or 10 in a penitentiary."
Boston said he did not expect any punishment for late registration yet. Late registration is continuing, with no penalty, in every post office in the nation.
"Some people have been sick, on vacation in the wilderness somewhere, out of the country, or maybe even in jail. We want to give them a chance to register," he said.
MEMBERS OF THE Kansas Ant-Draft Organization do not want the chance to register, and are urging all men not to. According to Terry Brians, a Lawrence resident and member of the ant-draft movement, the group is not impressed by both politicians' opposition to registration.
"They are opposed to it for the wrong reason." They are opposed to it for the wrong reason. They are opposed to it for the wrong reason. They are opposed to it for the wrong reason. Only they want a professional army. Only they want a professional army. Only they want a professional army. Only they want a professional army.
Brians said his group, which he said had 300-400 members in Lawrence alone, protested during the two-week registration period in July at the Lawrence post office and saw parents forcibly pushing young men into the office to register.
"I saw scared kids carried into the post office by their own parents," he said.
Crusaders seek money to convert world by '85
By IAN SIMPSON Staff Writer
The Campus Crusade for Christ loves Jesus. It wants the rest of the world to do the same.
To spread the word of Christ, the Crusade launched a massive fund-raising drive last spring. The "Here's Life, World" campaign, supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, stamily by 1985, is attempting to raise $1 billion.
“There are a lot of places on this earth where there are people who have never heard of Jesus Christ or His gospel.” John Jones, director of communications for the Crusade, said this week. “It is the duty of every Christian to bring that word to those who haven't heard it.”
About $160 million is earmarked for broadcasting overseas, and the bulk of the money will go for establishing grassroots evangelical organizations overseas. In addition, the Crusade is counting on its $6 million movie "Jesus" to help its efforts in foreign countries.
BILL BRIGHT, who founded the Crusade at UCLA in 1951, has focused his efforts on famous donors such as Leen Jawerski, John Connally, Roy Rogers, W. Clement Stone and Nelson Bunker Hunt, who already given more than $10 million.
Those donors who give or promise to raise $1 million are designated one of "History's Handful," because they will "change the course of handy," Jones said. So far, the Crusade has raised about $160 million, most of it in pledges, not cash.
"When you realize that year more money is spent on dog food than on mission work," Dan Keller, KU Campus Crusade said "a billion dollars is really chickfeed."
The Crusade is a big operation. According to its 1979 annual report, last year's revenues totaled $49,269,000. The organization had 7,810 full-time staff members working in 114 countries.
All the money the Crusade raised came from donations, and all staff members, including Bright, must rely on sponsors to support themselves. According to the annual report, Bright earned $11,403 in 1978, and his net worth was estimated at less than $25,000.
DESPITE THE PRESENT interest in raising large sums of money quickly, the average contribution to the Crusade is $49, and the most frequent contribution is $10, according to the annual report. Dan Keller estimated he had about 50 people who donated an average of $15 a month for his support. Of the money he received, 3 percent went for administrative purposes and 10 percent was earned for the Crusade's overseas missions, he said.
Crusade staffers are not allowed to hold outside jobs.
Keller said the Crusade believed in the infallible nature of the Bible and the second coming of Christ. It also wants the Biblical theory of creation to be taught in public schools.
THE CREASU RELIES on "The Four Spiritual Watts" to attract worshippers. The laws are
"If God made everything out of nothing, if he could make an axehead float or have Jonah split by a whale—well, it seems that everything is possible, or nales by comparison," Keller said.
- Man is sinful and separated from God. God knows
  man's experience and knowledge of God and plan for it.*
- *We must individually receive Jesus Christ as
  expiring God, allow us to experience it,
  and exspire God's love for our lives.*
- God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life.
- Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin.
The message's simplicity concerns some religious educators
"It is ludicrous to presume that Christianity can be reduced to a number of simple facts."

Controversy only customer for note-taker
By VANESSA HERRON Staff Reporter
A professional note-taker says her new student is in need of KU students who are sick of classes.
For $5, any reluctant student can hire Rowena DeCoste, a 29-year-old former graduate student, to attend class and take classes. You have the notes neatly typed by the next day.
DeCoste said she would research term paper topics for $15.
FLYERS ADVERTISING THE service have appeared on bulletin boards all over campus, but DeCoste said her two-week-old business was not yet flourishing.
"Nobody has called yet," she said. Although the service does not seem to be popular with students, it is even less popular with some professors who teach large lecture classes such as Biology 104 or Elements of Sociology.
"I think it's completely outrageous," said Alan Sica, assistant professor of sociology, who lectures to about 200 students three times a week. "I hope I don't find anyone who would use that service in my class, and I hope the University will put a stop to it."
ONE UNIVERSITY HAS already put a stop to professional note-taking. DeCoste said the University of California at Los Angeles outlawed a similar service last year after
several professors said they never saw two of their students until they had graduated.
DeCoste said she had never heard of a University rule against professional note-taking.
Vickie Thomas, general counsel of the University, said that although there was no specific rule against professional note-taking, University policy stated that students at auditions must be regularly enrolled, officially auditing or have permission of the instructor.
However, because there is no specific rule against it, Sica said the service could be
"If students indulge in it five or ten times in a semester, then they're not really participating in the class. They might as well punt the class and go home," he said.
OTHER PROFESSORS agree that students who try to study in absentia are only cheating themselves.
"It doesn't bother me, but it should bother the student," said Everett Grover, a professor of chemistry who has taught as many as 400 students at a time. "Students are the ones who are paying to come here. The professor doesn't gain or lose either way."
Joseph Cox, a professor of economics who lectures on 170 students twice a week, said the note-taking service didn't bother him at all.
"My students are adults, and it's their
At $5 a class period, the note-taking service could be too expensive to be abused by a single student. Sica listed less expensive courses for students who are forced to miss class.
STUDENTS CAN SEND a tape recorder to class or ask friends to take notes for them. In special cases, Sica said he asked some of his brighter students to lend their notes to students who had valid reasons for missing lectures.
responsibility to learn the subject matter if they're interested in it," he said.
However, the best alternative is not missing class in the first place. he said. Tape recorders and even professional note-takers can miss important details in lectures.
"I've seen student notes," Sica said, "and I tried to pick up them and the important things they pluck."
Everett, a veteran chemistry lecturer, said he had the heart of note-taking services before this fall.
DeCoste, who was a reporter for WREN Radio in Topeka and had accumulated 30 hours of graduate study at KU, said she was qualified to take accurate class notes. She is prepared to use that skill to make extra money after she quit her job reporting in Job.
"I wasn't aware they were doing this, but
I am not surprised they are," I suppose
you are. "I was been tricked."
Jolly jingle highlight of Dykes' farewell
By PAM HOWARD
Staff Reporter
A farewell poem for former Chancellor Archie R. Dykes left the former chancellor smiling and his wife, Nancy, looking solemn as she held back tears.
The poem, written and read by Charles Lacey, a member of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, was a humorous look at Dykes' seven years as chancellor.
Lacey read the poem last night at the 14th annual KU Affairs Mixer, which welcomed new faculty and staff members of KU, Baker and Haskell Indian Junior College to the area.
Parts of the poem read:
"Back in 73, from east Tennessee, came an applicant well-recommended. / And out of
the hills, land of acorns and stills/ to the
Chancellor's office ascended . . .
A new luminary of the broad Kansas prairie raised money, as chancellors he off. He appealed to alums, from distinguished to burns, to support efforts in the region. But he repleinished the coffers as KU solvency grew."
THE MIXER, SPONSORED by the Chamber of Commerce, attracted nearly 400 people, mostly new faculty and staff members at the three schools.

made local officials proud to be associated with Lawrence.
Ashton said the Chamber sought to make Lawrence a better place to live and tried to represent every area of the community. He urged participation in the Chamber and cited the mixer as an example of one of the many things the Chamber does for the community.
AT THE CONCLUSION of the event, Former Chancellor Archie R. Dykes and his wife were given a standing ovation as they were presented a framed copy of the poem read by Lacev.
Dykes spoke briefly, thanking KU students and faculty for the outstanding friendship and support that was responsible for his achievements at KU.
