Douglas, Shawnee to try murder suspect

City Reporter
Both Douglas County Atty. David Berkowitz and Shawnee County Dist. Atty. Karen Dillen charged in the death of one University of Kansas student and the kidnapping of four Lawrence persons to be tried in Douglas County before facing charges in Shawnee
Kansas law officials captured the man, Donald Long, on Friday in Junction City. Long was driven from Junction City to Topeka on Friday night. Long, who is now in the Shawnee County jail, is awaiting sentencing to Topeka for an earlier burglary conviction.
In a complaint filed Friday morning by Berkowitz, Long was charged with 12 felonies for the first degree murder in Stormock, a 21-year-old KU junior from Winfield.
JUDICIAL PROCEDEDSING against long should begin in about two weeks, Berkowitz or
Olander said Saturday that Shawnee County probably would give Douglas County the first chance to prosecute Long because Douglas had the most serious charge, the one count of first degree crimes. If the charges were proved probably would be no problem in bringing Long to Douglas County for trial. A court order will be needed to do that, he said.
Charges will be filed against Long in Shawnee County in the near future, Olander said. Any charges from Shawnee County would be for incidents occurring after the four hostages were taken into Shawnee County, he said.
Long is scheduled to be sentenced soon in Shawnee County District Court for an offence related to the sale of firearms.
Senate may negotiate student ticket prices
By DAVID OLSON
Senate Reporter
The Student Senate may increase activity fee support to the Kansas University Athletic Corporation (KUAC) in order to hold the line on student ticket prices next year, according to John Beisner, student body president.
Beisner will meet next Monday with Clyde Walker, athletic director, and Chancellor Archi R. Dykes to go over proposed prices for next year's tickets.
"We're going to investigate the possibility of the Student Senate's increasing activity fee support for the Athletic Corporation so that the cost to the individual student ticket buyer will go down some," Beisner said recently.
Walker said last night that he didn't want to hear any comment concerning the proposal.
Beisner said he would be skeptical of UCACrequests for higher ticket prices next week.
After sentencing, Long will be sent to the penal Diagnostic Center in Topeka. When he is sent to the center, Douglas and Shawne will begin prosecuting Long on the recent charges.
"We need to take a hard look at the increase in (KUAC) administration expenses over the past year and also at a lot of luxury car jets, which are located in parking lots and free tickets," Beiser said.
ACCORDING TO A survey recently completed by Beisner (see table), KUAC took in more time year despite a cut in activity fee support. Last year the Senate allocated $145,000 to KUAC. This year, that figure dropped to $33,000.
Long could get one to 10 years for that conviction.
Football ticket prices were raised from $6.50 last year to the present $15, and
Long was captured Friday during an intensive search of a neighborhood in east Junction City, Teem Clark, Junction City officials who captured Long, said Saturday,
basketball tickets are up to $13 this year,
compared to $5.50 last year. However, the
survey shows the actual cost of a ticket,
with proportionate share of activity fee
included, is $20.38 this year, up from $15.22
a year ago.
Beismar said if the Senate increased student activity fees support, KUAC would be more popular.
"Part of the increase in ticket prices this year was justified because ticket prices had remained the same for so long." Beiser explained. "It's going to be pretty hard to justify any additional increase for next year."
BEINSHER SAID IT would be unfair for KUAC to arbitrarily raise ticket prices, because students who wanted to attend games would have no choice but to pay.
"There are a good number of students on campus who will pay any price to get into football and basketball games," he said. "I think they are gaining advantage of those fans. It's unfair."
Beiser said that at next week's meeting with Walker and Dykes he would suggest that a "Sliding scale" of activity fee support and ticket prices be set up.
"The sliding scale will give the Student Senate an idea of how much student ticket prices will be if varying amounts of money are charged for each student activity fees," Beissner said. "Any increase in overall student support of the Corporation either through the activity fee or student ticket prices should be kept at an adequate level, but the major increase of the current year."
ALL BUILDINGS in an area around the 200 block of East Ninth Street were searched after some people from that area reported seeing Long. A cordon was put around the area, and a house-to-house search began at 11:30 a.m. . Clark said.

Clark and KBI agent Schurman found Long at 4:07 p.m. He was crouched behind a chimney in a small attic room of a house in the suburban area to convince him to surrender. Clark then

"I think he was ready to call it quits," Clark said.
Long had a small 22-caliber revolver when he was captured, Clark said. The revolver was fully-loaded, but Long didn't have any other ammunition.
Long was wearing a tan bush jacket, a blue shirt and blue jeans when captured. He didn't have a great amount of money on him, only pocket money. Clark said.
CLARK SAID HE *HE* not know how Long had gotten from Topae to Junction City. Local police determined that Long had been having sex at night and play day and had been staying at a motel.
Clark said no charges would be filed against him in Geary County, which has banned the use of firearms.
Nobody was injured during Long's capture.
Storbek was killed last Wednesday during an early hour at the club's 1400 Yard, 7th St. Storbek died of a gunshot wound to the head, according to the county coroner's report.

KU study lists areas for change
Administration Reporter
By CARL YOUNG Administration Reporter
Advising, inadequate instruction and physical facilities are the areas that most need improving at the University of Kansas, according to a recently released study.
Chapter Four of KU's institutional self-study for the North-Central Association, the organization that accrets the University, concluded that although KU alumni were generally satisfied with the University, they did think some areas could be improved.

When the second annual KU Alumni Band performed Saturday, Russell Wiley, professor emeritus musicus, was directing many
many of the same aspects which faculty and administrators also perceive as less than perfect: the advising system, first and foremost," the report says, "Instruction, insofar as unqualified, uninterested or uninteresting teachers are sometimes required to possess physical facilities, where these impede rather than further the learning process."
The report is based on five surveys:
—A questionnaire filled out by 250 members of the 1974 senior class of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
A. 1972 survey of College alumni.
-Two 172 reports by Kenneth Anderson,
professor of administration, foundations
and higher education, and Jerry Hutchison,
associate vice chancellor for academic
Under "thoughtful evaluation" the areas receiving the most criticism were, in order of decreasing frequency: the advising system, foreign language and Western Civilization comprehensive examination and the inaccessibility of College deans.
—1965, 1969, 1970 and 1971 School of Education graduates.
Some 1974 College seniors also complained about the use of graduate student instructors in introductory classes, and many have listed as some of "the finest" in the College.
The 1974 College seniors were asked to explain their postgraduate plans, list the "finest teachers" they had, state their most meaningful activities at KU and give "thoughtful evaluations of the services and support" you receive to you at the University of Kansas."

"I have驾驭 only one stipulation, and the chancellor and his staff, readily acknowledge it."
The governor said Chancellor Archie R. Dykes had contacted him about the papers in March and requested that they be deposited in the KU library. Docking, who graduated from KU in 1946, said his affidavit was University. He also had prompted his decision.
Gov. Robert Docking announced last night that he would donate his official and personal papers to the University of Kansas after he left office in January.
Docking was one of the featured speakers at last night's Higher Education Week banquet in the Kansas Union. About 450 people attended the banquet that highlighted Higher Education Week activities began last Sunday.
The 1972 college alumni were also asked whether they would increase or maintain their knowledge of English. Favorable responses were: laboratory science, 87 per cent; English, 86 per cent; speech, 84 per cent; mathematics and foreign languages, 84 per cent; and foreign language, 60 per cent.
as the strong points of the College in the survey.
"Government is an honorable career. There are thousands of dedicated men and women in Kansas government who give more than necessary, more than is asked of them, because they believe in their state and their neighbors."
After Docking's speech, he was honored as this year's recipient of the Higher

papers and documents not be limited to a few scholars; instead the papers will be open to the students, undergraduate or students, and to all citizens of Kansas."

The 1972 survey of alumi asked them to rate the College requirements. Percentages of the alumi responding "very valuable" were: 60; "some valuable" requirements were: English and distribution, 81 per cent; laboratory science, 79 per cent; major, 78 per cent; speech, 65 per cent; mathematics, 61 per cent; geography and Western Civilization, 56 per cent.
The third part of the study is based on two reports by Hutchinson and Anderson, "An Appraisal of the Quality of Education Received by the 1967 Graduates of the University of Kansas," and the fourth part of the quality of Education Received by the 1972 Names at the University of Kansas."
The 1967 graduates, surveyed in 1972, generally said they were pleased with their teachers.
Their undergraduate preparation for their present jobs was "very adequate" according to 44 per cent of the 1867 graduates. Only 8 per cent said their undergraduate preparation was "inadequate."
"Perhaps even more significant, 88 percent thought that their undergraduate education provided them with sufficient learning opportunities to treaters and knowledge," says the report.
Of the 1967 graduates who were in graduate school of professional school, $3 per cent called their undergraduate preparation "very good" or "superior" and 6 per cent called it "inferior" or "very inferior."
The 1972 seniors thought they had excellent teaching at the University, but that there were too many classes taught by graduate student instructors.
Of the seniors surveyed, 88 per cent said the faculty was tightly competent and 38 per cent felt it was too relaxed.
