Arafat at U.N.
From the Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.-Yisar Arafat, leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization, yesterday offered the world a choice of continued violence or peace based on the creation of a Palestinian state on Israeli-occupied land. Arafat told the General Assembly that Zionist ideology and Israeli leadership offer the Israelis "the Palestine of tomorrow" includes what is now Israel, the Palestinians displaced by the creation of Israel in 1948 and other Moslems living peacefully with Christians and Jews in a secular state. Arafat said, "I am a rebel and freedom is my cause. I appeal to you to enable our people to establish national independent sovereignty over their own land. . . . I have come bearing an olive branch and a freedom fighter's game. The United Nations has offered me a formal proposal to the United Nations, but his appearance in itself has been interpreted as aimed at getting the U.N. endorsement of a Palestinian state.
Tentative coal pac+
From the Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Arnold Miller, president of the striking United Mine Workers, announced yesterday that the union had reached tentative agreement with coal operators on a "very good contract" which he said could end the nationwide coal strike by Nov. 25. Miller said he thought he would have no trouble selling the proposed agreement to the 120,000 rank-and-file union members, who must vote their approval before the mines could be reopened. The contract would provide wage increases of 9 per cent the first year and 3 per cent in each of the next two years. The miners would receive, for the first time, cost-of-living increases pegged to increases in the government's consumer price index.

Patients' rights bill
From the Associated Press
TOPEKA-The Kansas' Legislature's interim judiciary committee yesterday endorsed a proposed bill enlarging the rights of mental patients and of those being committed to institutions. The proposal, which probably will be introduced in the Senate during the 1975 session, would assure that those being committed an immediate hearing, the right to legal counsel and immediate contact with a member of his family.

A new, four-year liberal arts college emphasizing Bible study will open in spring.
About 600 students are expected to enroll in the new college, The Way College of Emporia. The site of the new college was formerly the College of Emporia and recently was purchased by The Way International.
Renay Kerkman, a Lawrence "twig leader," said recently that The Way College of Emporia would offer a curriculum that included history, sociology, education, fine arts, New Testament Greek and Estrangelo aramaic, the language of Jesus.
The Way International maintains headquarters at New Knoxville, Ohio, and has acquired a cut-back mansion in west Brooklyn to accommodate expansion in addition to the new campus.
Kerkman said The Way International was organized "like a tree." There is a Lawrence branch of about 25 persons and a group of about groups within the larger "branch" group.
Summer school for Bible seminars, research and education will be conducted this summer, Kerkman said. The new program an accommodate up to 1,200 students.
Scott E. Jarvis, president of the new college, said "We find ourselves in a remarkable position." "Did dozens of colleges and universities throughout the United States are curtailing curriculum and even closing their doors because of a lack of students, The Way International has more students to study, we need more and we do not God's Word than the 250 who handle in our present facilities at the Ohio headquarters."
The "twigs" hold daily meetings at Place and McCollum Hall on weekends.

She said the group believed that the Bible was the accurate word of God and that the Word is true.
"Man's interpretation is just man's opinion," she said. "Man's philosophy corrupts the accuracy (of the Bible). People take things literally that shouldn't be taken literally and don't take other things literally that should be."
Followers of The Way International don't necessarily believe the traditional Christian beliefs, but base their beliefs on extensive knowledge of the original Greek and Aramaic writings.
The 41-acre campus is about 55 miles southwest of Topeka in Emporia. The college has 11 buildings, several of which were completed in the late 1960s. The library, constructed in 1901, was the first library constructed under the Andrew
