Nixon subpoenaed to testify in Watergate coverup
Watergate Press
WASHINGTON—Special gubernatorate prosecutor Leon Jaworski yesterday subpoenaed former President Richard M. Nixon as a witness for the government in the Watergate case.
Government in the Watergate coverup triumph. An FBI agent served the subpoena on Nixon at his San Clemente, Calif., calf at 7:50 p.m. (CDT), an FBI spokesman in Washington said.
Sources said the prosecutor issued the subpoena for the former President Wednesday night because it was the only way to get more than 30 presidential tape. The court said evidence in the trial scheduled to begin Oct. 1.
The subpoena is the third issued to the former President. The lawyers are seeking to have one, a
subpoena in a civil suit, quashed. They content Nixon is too ill to testify.
The first two subpenas were served last month at Nixon's San Clemente, Calif., estate. One is from lawyers for former White House assistant John D. Erichman, one of six defendants in the Watergate scandal, and another was testified by entering a deposition in Santa Ana, Calif., Tuesday in a civil suit filed in Charlotte, N.C.
The Charlotte suit was filed by 21 persons contending that White House aides and local officials illegally prevented them from attending a rally in the vault. The Rev Billy Graham, Nixon spoke at the event.
While Ehrlichman seeks Nixon's testimony on the coverup itself, the prosecutors need Nixon to confirm his original custody of the tapes, which are expected to play a crucial part in the case.
Nixon's attorneys filed a motion Monday in Los Angeles asking that the Charlotte subpoena be made public.
In a motion filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, Nixon filed exclusive privilege over his presidential tape recordings and asked that the filings be released out of the Watergate break-in be quashed.
Meanwhile, the Senate Government Operations Committee delayed for one day action on three
measures affecting the future of Nixon's White House tapes and documents.
Ehrlichman asked for a delay Wednesday in the trial until Nixon was healthy enough to testify. He suggested a postponement of 60 to 90 days.
Nixon is reported to be suffering from a blood clot in his left leg.
However, his plans regarding entering a hospital for treatment of phlebitis remained secret.
A staff member who visited Nixon at his seafront villa in Ventura Wednesday wouldn't comment on the formality of the ceremony.
But, the staff member said Nixon's longtime physician, John C. Langren, examined Nixon last
Monday and recommended again that he enter a hospital.
Lungen was said to believe that Nixon should begin anticollagen treatment immediately.
Phlebitis, an inflammation of the veins, has caused two clots in the ex-president's leg.leg
U. S. Ambassador Walter Annenberg said Wednesday in London that Nixon had telephoned him the night before and told him he expected to enter a hospital soon.
At his office in Long Beach, Lungren said, "I examined him (Nixon) on Monday and have no comment beyond that. This is a private patient, a patient-door relationship, and that's it."

Professors criticize effect of Feedback
The University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas
By GARY BORG
Reporter
Analysis of the quality of instruction at the University of Kansas and the Feedback program came under verbal attack at last night's meeting of the American Association of University Professors (AUAP).
One AAUP member suggested that a study be made of the possible "destructive effect" (of feedback) on the student-faculty relationship" at the University.
Daisy Hill area is site of recent bicycle thefts
Mike Young, teaching assistant in
Other members express dissatisfaction with the "mathematical method" involved in the FF approach.
The Daisy Hill area has been the site of the most recent bicycle thefts, Capt. Robert Ellison of Security and Parking said yesterday.
According to campus police records, nine bicycles have been stolen since last weekend. Eight of them were taken from the Daisy Hill area.
Ellison said the theft pattern had shifted to the last couple of years from campus due to Daisy Hall.
Campus police reported that there weren't any suspects.
"There is really no good place to chain up a bicycle to keep it from getting stolen,"哭
The reports also showed that all the bicycles were chained or padlocked and that nearly all 10-speed bicycles. The chains and padlocks were cut with a saw or snapped with bolt cutters. The estimated value of the nine stolen bicycles was $900.
Almost any lock or chain can be broken, he said, by bolt cutters. He said that some of the thefts could be prevented if the bicycles were kept locked indoors.
Frickey said that there was storage space available in some residence halls for bicycles, but that storage had been a year-to-year problem.
Phil Fricke, president of the Association of University Residence Halls, said an agreement with the Administrative Housing Board about bicycles was in force.
As part of this agreement, Frickey said, a person who lived alone could买 a bicycle in his residence hall room. A person with a roommate, he said, must have the permission of the roommate in order to keep a bicycle in the room.
Mike Thomas, director of Security and Parking, said students should register their bicycles with the campus police or city police. "Everyone is encouraged to always record the serial number of the
bicycle and keep the number in an available place.
Thomas said that sometimes a dozen persons would walk by a bicycle that was being stolen and wouldn't know it or report it. Ellison said that people should call the police when they saw an action that looked suspicious.
If a theft victim finds a bicycle that looks like his, Thomas said, he would report it to the police. Ellison said the police would then watch the bicycle.
"Everyone be leary of someone trying to sell a bicycle too cheap," Thomas said.
A person who buys a stolen bicycle won't be arrested, he said, but the bike can be seized.
psychology, said the grading system also involved many of the same imperfections.
Young said a recent investigation revealed that about 30 per cent of the faculty members in the College of Liberal Arts and Humanities met the Feedback evaluation last spring.
One AUIP member said he didn't administer the Feedback evaluation last semester because he consistently received his highest grade. The other, a poorer class, he admitted that he was more "sexy" in the classes in which he rated higher but explained that he performed better only because he felt the need to increase the lack of expertise in the subject involved.
Another member suggested that a study be made to ascertain the reason for student dropouts.
Young said the fact that the Student Senate had dropped funding of the program was evidence of student apathy. He also said that the University had only enough students to attend this semester. There was some doubt, but whether it would be conducted next spring.
One professor suggested that American educational institutions had "delusive ideas about the analysis of quality of instruction," and they were wary of the quality of evaluation were far from uniform.
"We should seek talented personnel who can something to say and provide the environment in which we work."

No local winter energy crisis, official says
Reporter
Although oil refineries will shift to a production ratio that will include less gasoline and more heating and furnace oil, the need for such oil is not any major inconvenience because of an energy crisis this winter if foreign supply sources remain open, Robert Walker, director of operations for Region Seven of the Energy Administration, said recently.
The United States imports crude oil from 14 countries and refined oil from 17.
Walker said the United States would need more foreign oil to avoid a crisis because natural gas suppliers had predicted they would fall 1.8 trillion cubic feet short of this winter. That figure represents an 81% increase over last year's deficit.
available and natural gas demanded would require 330 million more barrels of crude
"We may have to pay an awful price for your saisit said, as long as they'll export it."
Users of natural gas, according to Walker, purchase their supplies under two types of contracts. "Interruptible" contracts are those under which the customer has a standby or alternate fuel supply. "Firm" contracts have no alternate source.
Walker said that in some areas the deficit of natural gas could force a curtailment of service that would even affect firm companies, who would happen only if imports were cut off.
Walker also said he forsaw no problem in obtaining sufficient supplies of gasoline.
in Lawrence, Bill Salome of the Gas Co., said any shortage would depend on the severity of the winter. The Gas Co. had based its predictions on the expectation that there wouldn't be a repetition of last year's mild winter.
He said it would be impossible to predict a shortage now because of the constant uncertainty.
Salome said that customers with interruptible contracts probably would be the ones who were able to continue.
The University of Kansas and several
bomb industries operate on interruptible
computers.
"Basically we figure we will have a few more days than last year when we will ask our interruptible customers to go on some alternate fuel," he said.
Salome said he foresaw no problem in maintaining the supply to private citizens and in keeping up with their needs.
He said the deficit between natural gas
Despite Walker's forecast, several local service station owners express uncertainty about their ability to get normal deliveries from their suppliers.
Walker predicted that there would be a sufficient supply of gasoline to meet the demand.
Wes Grimes, owner of Wes Grimes' Standard Service, 2301 Louisiana St., said he was concerned about the possible effects of a coal strike by the United Mine Workers.
a heavier burden would be placed upon the refining industry for heating oil and less than that for heating gas.
Harold Twigg, owner of Harold's 68
Service, 1540 W. 8th, st., said his supplier
had dropped a "suble hinder that gasoline
is running too fast" and stand for
heating oil increased this winter.
Twigg said that if a shortage did occur, the only effect would be a curtailment in balancing supplies.
If the coal supply was deleted by a strike.
"What doesn't make sense to me," he said, "is that right now they are pushing us to sell more and they say we'll be short in the winter."

A bicycle is in danger of theft anywhere on campus, but the problem is particularly bad on Daisy Hill. Even heavy climbs like these can easily fall victim to bolt cutters.
KU instructor assaulted, robbed in own apartment
A University of Kansas instructor was assaulted and left tied up Wednesday night after two intruders entered his apartment, according to Lawrence police.
A. B. Amerson, assistant instructor in biology at KU, suffered cuts and bruises on his head and shoulders when the men repeatedly assaulted him, according to reports. Amerson was held overnight for observation at Watkins Memorial Hospital.
The apartment was robbed of an undetermined number of items.
Amerson told police the two men forced their way into his apartment when he answered a knock on his door. One of the men hit him, knocked him to the floor and tied him with electrical cord, Amerson told police.
The men then dragged Amerson into a bathroom. They remained in the apartment about two hours, drinking beer and smoking marijuana, he told police.
During their stay, the intruders ran
sacked the apartment, stealing a shogun, stereo, electric typewriter, tape recorder, a wallet with about $35 in cash and a photo enlarger, according to police.
Amerson told police that the men returned to the bathroom several times to beat him and threaten him with his shotgun and a knife.
After the men left, Amerson loosened the ropes enough to crawl to a telephone and call them.
Credit-no credit deadline at 5 p.m.
Today at 5 p.m. is the deadline to sign up for the credit-no credit option in class grading. To receive the option, a student must take his registration card to the office and obtain the card number enrolled and fill out a computer card, which will record the grade option on his record.
