Watergate revitalizing,prof says
By ANITA SQLTER

Watergate is almost as significant as Pearl Harbor or President Kennedy's assassination, Francis H. Heller, professor of law and political science, said yesterday.
Speaking to the Faculty Forum on "Watergate and the Pardon," Heller said Watergate demanded a new look at the presidency.
"Over a short period of time, we have had a president resign, have put into office a president who was not elected and probably the president who also was not elected," he said.
It is interesting that every president promises unity, Heller said, recalling that in 1968 former President Richard M. Nixon promised to "bring us together."
"But by design the American constitutional system precludes unity," he said. "Unity become dominance, and when prevails we reach a crisis situation."
Every president broods over the fact that Congress is against White House policy initiatives, he said. Nixon was no exception, as he had been engaged in a power struggle with Congress since the 1972 election, Heller said.
"When the power pendulum swings in one direction, it is slow to readjust," Heller said, explaining why it took two years to resolve Nixon's role in Watergate.
Heller said he didn't know Nixon's motives in the Watergate situation.
"When Nixon's escape routes were cut off, it then became a question of how he could find his way back optimistic and apparently felt he was innocent," Heller said. "The resignation came about because his political base had been left behind by the fact that the issue was headed for the courts."

Inexperience gives chaotic touch to women's intramural football
By MIKE FITZGERALD
The team in red kicked off to the team in blue to begin the football game. The ball landed just past mid-field where it was downed by the red team.

No one in blue touched the ball.
During the next play, mass confusion hit the blues and then were penalized five yards under a tackle.
The second play started but that was about all. The play lost five yards for the last turn.
The third play broke down completely.
Another five-yard loss made it fourth down and
back, so the game was over.
Instead of punting, the blues must have thought they had a good chance to break the game open. They went for the first down but their pass was intercepted near mid-field.

Nether. It's called women's intramural football, and this game was between the two teams in the series of sororites. Alpha Chi won the game, which was scoreless, during the dead-sudden death match.
The women's intramural flag football league was started three years ago as part of the women's intramural sports program. The flag football league was set up because of interest shown by KU women, said Claire McElrov, director of women's intramurals.
McElroy said recently that for the first two years the women had to play their games on Sunday afternoons because the men's football games were during the week. Sunday was a bad day, she said, and there were many forfeits.
This year is a test year for the sport, McElaroy said. She said that the games had been moved to Wednesdays and that if the score decreases the sport would be discontinued.
Wednesdays seem to be good days for
most of the women, she said. Forforfeits have decreased and interest has climbed.
"People seem to really enjoy the sport," McEiRoy said. "Most girls don't take the game seriously and just try to have a lot of fun with it."
The women have several rules that differ from the men's rules. First, there is the flag game itself—pulling flags from a belt rather than a two-handed touch below the waist.
Fumbles can't be run back in women's football. Once the ball touches the ground,
According to McEldry, the biggest difference between men's and women's football is the women's lack of football experience.
"Most women don't have a chance to play much organized football," she said. "Only the larger high schools do any, so most girls never play."
"They're not going to look like a men's suit," she said, looking awkward and not having the best fit.
McElioy said that because of this lack of experience most of the coaches and referees
"They (women) seem to have trouble because there are so many rules and penalties." McEllroy said. "We get some of them from our classes, but not too many."
McElroy said that although many men were involved in the sport and others watched from the sidelines during games, there were few sexist comments.
McEldroy was interrupted by Bob Lockwood, men's inturmalured director, when she was asked whether she minded the term "powder puff" applied to women's sports.
"We haven't gotten any," she said. "Most men have enough loyalty to one team or another not to the. Men help a lot—they send in plays and help run the teams. If we would set it up to be serious then we might get some comments."
"Powder puff?" Lockwood asked. "Not the way some of those girls stink."
Two charged in Oliver fire
Security and parking department officers arrested two University of Kansas freshmen Wednesday night on charges of aggravated arson.
The two students, James Leslie Perkins, Burke Va., and Jonathan Yale Epstein, were arrested in connection with a fire in Oliver Hall early Wednesday morning.
