The group tours college campuses throughout Kansas and the southern states, publicizing the minority program and benefits offered to black law students at the University of Kansas, Green said. The program is geared toward the recruitment of highly qualified students, according to Green.
The largest request was made by the Douglas County Legal Aid Society. The group requested $4,085. The money would be used by the society to purchase office space, furniture and supplies, Tekapla and a secretary, according to Deanell Tacha, director of the organization.

"We're not moving at turnpike speed, but I see no reason to be discouraged at this point," Wilson said. "The students must know what they want and then we can move."
The credit to Russia, which is still on the books, is part of a $750-million financing arrangement approved in 1972 to help Russia, buys U.S. grain.
One department official said it might have been possible for Russia to use at least part of its remaining $200 million loan credit to pay for new orders of grain.

Student incidenseis is causing delays in the equipping of McCollum Hall's new communication center, J. J. Wilson, director of housing, said recently.

The credit program, financed by the department's Commodity Credit Corporation, has been used since 1956 to help boost U.S. farm exports.
In all, because of severe crop losses two years ago, Russia bought about 19 million tons of U.S. grain in the 1972-73 season at a cost of around $1.1 billion. However, only $460 million of that was financed by U.S. credit. The balance was paid in cash.
Wilson gave the McCollum Senate power to decide what to buy for the center last year, said Tom Schwetye, president of McCollum.

Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash., said the Senate subcommittee on investigations, which he heads, would conduct hearings today to find out why the White House wasn't advised in advance of the new $200 million deal.
During the year ending last June 19, Russia used another $80 million of the credit to help pay for $500 million worth of U.S. farm commodities, about one-half of the total.

Without the extra grain needed to produce a world trade surplus for the United States, Laird said there would be enough surplus to buy oil and other materials the nation needs. Furthermore, the cost of food would increase for the consumer, he said.

A survey was given to determine the available to this year's residents, Schweitey said.
"It is a repeat of Nixon's stupidity in past agricultural policy." Laird said.

The sub-committee will present their findings to the senate. The senate will then give their recommendations to Wilson, who is the treasurer or keeper of the funds.

The center is open from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily to all members of McColum. According to Dennis Spicher, Shawnee Mission senior, the computer service may be used for maintenance and repair of McColum residents. To be qualified, a resident must be approved by Spicher.
"We just want to be sure the person knows how to work the key punch so it is not jammed for the next person," Spicher said. "6 p.m. and 10 p.m. it is opened to everyone."
Wilson said the center wasn't being used much as it should be. He said he had been in charge of the building.
