By Kansan Photographer DAVE PETERSON
President Gerald R. Fond presented his 12 proposals on how the average citizen can help "Whip Inflation Now" (WIN) in a speech at municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo. He told more than 13,000 Future Farmers of America that one way to win the battle was to plant WIN gardens in their backyards.
Ford gives nation pep talk in K.C. speech on economy
By PAULA JOLLY Kansas City Reporter
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—President Gerald R. Ford gave the nation an economic饼 during his speech to the 47th convention of the Future Farmers of America here last night.
Ford spoke of a great citizen's
economic success, the economy, slow
inflation and the SKY WEAK.
"I have received initial Inflation Fighter enlistments from Americans of every race and country, circumstance and political persuasion. Support has been freely offered by organizations and groups representing all major ethnicities and reaching into every corner of our land."
The President answered charges that he had offered Congress and the nation "only a marshmallow" instead of asking them to "bite the bullet."
"I had already asked the Congress to postpone for three months a 5.5 per cent pay increase for federal government employees he said would have saved $700 million," he said.
"Congress wouldn't even chew that marshmallow."
Ford discussed 10 recommendations from the Citizens' Action Committee to Fight Inflation and added two recommendations of his own to the list. The committee met with Ford recently to give him ideas to help the economy.
While discussing these recommendations, the President urged individuals to budget expenses, to use credit wisely and to save as much money as possible.
“Bring budgeting back into style. Balance your family budget and expect your government officials to do exactly the same thing.”

The committee will submit a recom-
mended budget of $20,718 to StuDex tom-
tion.
Almost $20,000 was cut from budget requests totaling $40,000 during last night's final deliberations of the Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee.
The committee voted to withhold all funding for the Douglas County Legal Aid committee's investigation of the society, committee members and their requirements for providing aid were too restrictive to serve many KU students. The committee, 1985, which was the largest request submitted,

Daneell Tacha, director of the legal aid society, said she was disappointed with the case. She said her organization had received a per cent of its budget request last spring.
In response to the charge that not many students can take advantage of the program she said, "That's really not the case. One of the purposes of the group is to serve those who can't afford representation by local attorneys.
"We tried to explain to them that any KU student would not allow of his parents with no doubt be eligible for the study."

The committee debated vigorously for almost an hour on the request submitted by the Graduate School Council. The board finally decided to recommend granting the award. Most of the funds would have been used to publish a graduate school bulletin.
Common Cause lauds campaign reform bill
By TOM TOTH
Reporter
TOPEKA-President Gerald R. Ford yesterday achieved the efforts of Common Cause, a national citizen's lobby, by signing a campaign finance reform bill, Jack Conway, president of Common Cause, said here yesterday.
The bill provides for the public financing of presidential elections. Each candidate will be limited to $20 million for the general election
"We now need to get public financing for
Conway said John Gardner, board chairman of Common Cause, told Conway by phone that Ford had reservations about the bill but signed it because Ford recognized public concern over political campaign corruption.
Corney, who was on a national speaking tour of Common Cause groups, told about 90 people that the bill was a result of more than 40 bolstering in Congress by Common Cause.
Gardner, former secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, organized Common Cause in 1971 to promote government reforms, Conway said.
"We got about everything we were after," Camway said, and "we'll be back next year."
Other causes in which Common Cause has successfully played a major role include suffrage at 18, the Equal Rights Amendment and the election (vis-a-vis appear by seniority) of committee chairmen in the House of Representatives, he said.
congressional elections," Conway said. "If the winning candidate feels primarily responsible to big campaign donors, public accountability is destroyed."
He said incumbents enjoyed a distinct advantage in any election because they received more than twice as much money from lobbyists as their opponents did.
"We poll our 330,000 members twice a year to determine which issues we'll concentrate on," Conway said. "In the future we plan to work on tax reform, activate office and expand our efforts on the state and community government level."
"The 1972 election knocked the lid off the scandal of campaign finances. Two million dollars was given by one person, Clement Stone." Conway said.
There are 2,500 members of Common Cause in Kansas, 275 in Lawrence, Dick Collier, Lawrence coordinator for Common Cause, said.
Paul Bylaska, a member of the committee, said that a large number of graduate students wouldn't be interested in the bulletin, but that some funds should be granted to get the organization started. He pointed out that the problem encountered by graduate students.
An open meeting is scheduled for 7:30
am. The law library at the University of Kansas
After arguing at length over the needs of the group the committee finally supported a motion by committee member Pete Kanatzar to fund five issues of the bulletin and office rent in the Kansas Union for the remainder of the year. Kanatzar attached a rider to the motion that will allow the funds to be used by the University funds a halftime office worker, the council. The group is meeting with Chancellor B. Dykes today to discuss the problem.
The committee also decided to reject funding for the Muslim Students Society because it is considered a religious organization and the Senate can't fund religious groups. The Muslim students requested $210.
necessary borrowing, to make down payments as quickly as possible, and to pay off large debts.
Steve Noll, a member of the committee, said he thought the initial recommendation had been hasty and wasn't equitable with the policy in light of the group's other decisions.
The finance and Auditing Committee granted full funding to student radio station KUOK. If approved by the Student Senate it would be increased to the station's power and increased throughout the Lawrence area. Broadcasts now are confined to the residence halls.
After tentatively granting full funding to the KU Judo Club in Monday's hearings, the committees voted to reduce the reimbursement to $1,145. The group requested $2,445.
Lewis Gregory, chairman of the committee, said, "This committee was more responsive to the students than any other budget process I've seen. Questions were both on sides of the spectrum and then a decision was reached from those views.
Ford said he asked the Treasury Department to look into the feasibility of a new type of government anti-inflation bond. The bond would have a more competitive interest rate and would be purchased through payroll deductions.
"Even though we had $26,000 to allocate, all of it didn't need to be allocated, and the committee supported this view by their actions."
Americans should make economizing fashionable, he said.
"Go for the lowest cost item and more importantly brace about the fact you are a burglar."
He said Americans should plant WIN (Wheap Infusion Now) garden for themes and flowers.

For urged people to conserve energy. He said he had directed the strict enforcement of the 55 m.p.h. speed limit, except in emergencies, on all federal property and by all drivers of federal government cars, including his own.
"Earlier, I asked every American to cuh car mileage by five per cent. That would save one quarter of the 1975 goal for petroleum savings. Tonight, I ask those who own a car by five per cent—and I am ordering an even larger vehicle."

Ford also had recommendations for business and labor.
Business and labor shouldn't raise prices or wages more than costs or services abour them.
"I believe that local citizens' action committees, including labor and management representation, should be set up so that people can recommend, set realistic goals for themselves, and to report by Thanksgiving—just six weeks away—which plans, which stores or other enterprises are prepared to hold the line on costs and on prices.
"If they do a good job and we find the winners around the country in every competition, then we should be happy."
award all WIN flags to the most outstanding as public recognition of their contributions
He said similar recognition should be given outstanding energy saver. The national citizens' committee will help local groups to organize, he said.
Business and labor should offset pay increases with productivity improvement, from 19.2% to 16.7%.
He mentioned a suggestion he had received that urged a cutdown in the proportion of administrative personnel to productive workers in plants and stores.
"I think this is a great idea," Ford said. "I will apply this good idea to the federal budget."
Ford urged all Americans to guard sua-
nce in Health. He said sickness in Aes-
sais is a day lost through sickness.
He said improvements in public health and disease prevention would "materially strengthen our attack on inflation by increasing individual productivity, by reducing demand for health care and by checking its soaring costs, by helping balance the family budget in this essential but unpredictable cost item."
Ford spoke to a capacity crowd of 13,000 Future Farmers of America and 3,000 others in the Municipal Auditorium. Outside the auditorium were about 20 picketers, including members of the United Farm Workers, who were asking for support of a farm-based health cover for farm anionization procedures. Other farmers subjects ranging from potential famine to Christianity to the number of work hours a week.
Miller, Bennett differ on student regent idea
By DAVID OLSON
Senate Reporter
Kansas gubernatorial candidates disagree on the merit of a proposed constitutional amendment that would place a student apoloee on the Board of Regents
The amendment, proposed by the Associated Students of Kansas (ASK), would require one student member on the Board of Regents.
Robert Bennett, Republican candidate for governor, is in favor of the idea of student loan forgiveness to amend the constitutional amendment as proposed according to his press secretary, Richard Nixon.
Bennett opposes the amendment because he foresees a problem in representing all the state colleges and universities fairly, Smith said yesterday.
Vern Miller, Democratic gubernatorial candidate, said he was in favor of the nomination.
"I think that's an excellent idea and I think the Boards' members would be receptive to me."
"There's no real way to choose one student from six universities that will really represent all students," Smith said. "You don't need to learn the basis, but that doesn't work all that well."
A spokesman for Miller, Rav Menendez.
and said putting a student on the Board of Regents would be beneficial to students.
Miller has made no statement concerning the relative merits of a single student appointment to the Board of Regents as opposed to those of such as a student advisory group, accorded to
"He hasn't had that much time to consider the ramifications of those alternatives." Menendez said. "It's been a busy season."
Menendez said Miller was in favor of whatever proposal would be most responsive to students in Kansas. One alternative, according to Menendez, might be student participation on intercommittee that work for the Board of Recents.
Smith said Bennett would support a "statutory student advisory body" which would provide information for the Board of Regents.
John Beisser, KU student body president,
said yesterday he favored more student
members to the student body.
"A lot of us have reached the decision that participation with the Regents on boards or committees are just as effective because we can input from all the schools," Beisner said.
A student appointer to the board of sounds sounds good, but I think it would be better to have a rhythm.
The football field goes academic
A freshman architecture class took over Memorial Stadium yesterday afternoon to put their classroom learning into practical use. The class was issued bedsets on which numbers had been painted. Then, using their knowledge of space they used pencils to sketch the field with their sheets. At left is Steve Adams, Toms River N.J., freshman, holding up his end of the job.
