San Franciscan resister first to apply for clemency
From the Associated Press
22-year-old San Francisco man yesterday
in the first draft evade to formally apply for
clementry.
Meanwhile, convicted draft evaders were released from federal prisons, and inquiries from deserters about the clemency offer began to trickle into military authorities.
The Justice Department said that John S. Barry, the first to apply for clementy, signed in at the U.S. attorney's office in San Francisco. He surrendered to the office Tuesday for refusing to register for the draft and was told to return later to complete the formalities.
"This is the first in the country to be signed," said U.S. Atty, James L. Browning Jr. Browning also signed the agreement, a pact for 24 months' service.
Under President Ford's program, announced
Monday, University-era drafters and deserters
who have no other charges against them can earn clemency by spending up to two years in public service jobs.
Barry's attorney, Joseph A. Morales, said his client was to appear before the state Select Service Board in Sacramento before Oct. 18 to report whether he had located a place of service.
Morales said Ford's clemency program allowed
the company to offer an urgent service, sub-
ject "Selective Service appraisal."
"I am in hopes of getting something close to San Francisco, which is my name," Barry said.
The Pentagon said yesterday that 87 of the 12,554 Vietnam-era deserts believed at large had telephoned or written to the armed services since Ford announced his program. No deserts have yet turned themselves in to authorities, the Pentagon said.
Ninety-five draft evaders who had been in prison for Selective Service violations were temporarily freed Tuesday, and most of them headed for home. They were arrested last month and said they rather serve their terms.
Many, however, indicated they were eager for clemency.
"I'm glad to be out and I'm not going back," said Christopher J. Muster, 25 of Navata, Calif.
He was released from the Federal Corrections Department at Lompoc, Calif., where he said, he served two years in prison and has been serviced.
But some Vietnam-era deserts who decide to seek conditional amnesty could find themselves at odds with the government.
These are men who have other serious criminal charges, such as larceny, assault, or rape, pending trial.
Pentagon officials estimated that between 10 and 20 per cent of the fugitive deserts would face criminal charges other than desertion if they chose to turn themselves in.
"if a deserter committed another crime, we
are him of the hook for that," a Pentagon
spoken in reply.
However, officials suggested that the charges in certain cases might involve relatively minor offenses, such as the burf of small amounts of money, which they could be forgiven or resolved with nominal punishment.
The names of the 10 to 20 percent with other
presents pending against them haven't been
released.
In announcing the new conditional amnesty plan, the White House said Monday that "those against whom other charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice are pending will not be eligible to
participate in the program until these other charges are disposed of in accordance with the law."
Pentagon officials said that when a deserter in this category showed up, he could be taken into custody at a U.S. military base or at F.B. Benjamin Jr. Hospital for processing point for the deserter amenity program.
He might then be court martialed and, if convicted, given a prison sentence.
Only after he is cleared or convicted can the deserter formally apply to take part in the amnesive process.
If he has been given a prison sentence for a crime unrelated to the desertion, he would have to serve his time before the presidential clemency board could consider his case.
Officials stressed that they wanted deserters in this group to be fully warned and aware of their potential danger.

Rieke decries shift story
The director of business and fiscal affairs will also play a key role in the development of the institution.
William O. Rieke, executive vice chancellor for the KU Medical Center, denied published allegations yesterday that he attempted to undercut Rieke's responsibilities.
The memorandum from Dykes says Mitcher is "responsible for the development co-ordination of University-wide budgeting, accounting, auditing, purchasing, inventory, classified personnel, maintenance, the motor pool and treasury fund."

"It has always been the policy of the chiefs to thump through the chancellor." Riake said.
Rieke said he and his staff approved of the other appointment and the reorganization of the committee.
The Journal-World's publication of two appointments at the Med Center that haven't been approved by the Kansas Board of Medicine, and the relations with the Regents, Rieke said. Normal policy is to withhold publication of these appointments to the Regents give their approval, he said.
"The executive vice chancellors shall be informed of all official communications between the staff of the institution and officials of their respective campuses."
Keith Nitcher, vice chancellor for business affairs, was appointed by Dykes as director of business and fiscal affairs, a position he has held in the Journal-World, would, “wrest financial responsibility away from Kansas City and move it to Los Angeles,” Keith Nitcher on the Lawrence campus.”
chancellor," the memo says. "However, it is expected that the two executive vice presidents and their administrative staff will have responsibility for all those officers of the chancellor's staff who have responsibility for both campuses, and cooperatively with them in their respective departments."
A memorandum from Dykes announcing the appointment defines the relationship of the executive vice chancellors as the chancellor's principal administrative and academic officers for the Lawrence campus and the Med Center.
The Journal-World also reported that Dykes' announcement would require that major decisions of the executive vice president have the prior approval of the chancellor.
"I must say, although I haven't read the article," Hieke said last night, "that I am in total disagreement with the Journal-World that appeared in Journal-World is incorrect."

Clyde Walker hints resignation over bill
By ROY CLEVENGER
Clyde Walker, University of Kansas athletic director, indicated yesterday he would resign if proposed federal regulations prohibiting sexual discrimination in collegiate athletics were approved as currently written.
"IF THESE RULES are approved as first written, our program would become second-rate, and I'm not going to stay around for that," Walker said.
The proposed regulations are contained in Title IX, a document issued last summer by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW).
As originally written, the regulations would force the University to provide opportunities, facilities and scholarships for men athletes, those available for men athletes, be said.
He made the comments after a breakfast for faculty members, where he discussed the relationship between University athletics and academics.
Walker said approval of the regulations would mean -the beginning of the end of compliance- for the organisation.
"As it is, we are struggling to survive," he said. "We're trying to improve our own programs, and we just can't split up the team." The team must be made of maybe nine or ten women's sports."
"The women played in the fieldhouse last winter and attracted maybe 50 people," he said. When they can attract 15,000 or when they deserve their own program.
"My opposition is practical and not philosophical. I don't oppose the idea of a system that supports it as much as it can, as long as it doesn't cost us anything," he said. "Also, there's the problem of facilities. If someone needs them adequate facilities, I have no objection."
HE SAID THAT the facilities currently available were inadequate even for men's athletics and that any large program of athletic abilities must be developed gradually.

Indians charge neglect by minority affairs office
However, some of the students and administrators involved said yesterday that the administration has been very tough.
BY DENNIS ELLSWORTH and BETTY HAEGELIN
Charges that the Office of Minority Affairs was neglecting American Indian interests have been made by some Indian students.
Mary Elizabeth Townsend, who was recently appointed director of the office, said she didn't want to comment about rumors of problems in her office.
Renorters
"At this point in my life, I have learned to address myself to herself." she said.
Her office administers the Supportive Educational Services (SES) program, which has been the target of recent complaints from some Indian students.
Edgar Haep of Birds, chairman of the Committee for Indian Affairs, said, "They had an opening recently, but a Chicago was chosen to fill that position. They didn't try to contact any of us except for some feasible attempts to contact one person."
The program employs eight student resource aides at $120 a month as coordinators of its tutoring services. Of the three aides, two are Cheapen, Heaps of Bird said.
"There isn't money for any more positions, and this is why we're concerned,"
Mitch Pawless, vice chairman for the committee and an assistant to William Bailour, vice chancellor for student affairs, said that a flowwend made a mistake. She admits that.
Pawless said that he, Heap of Birds and possibly Balfour would meet with Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor for the Lawrence campus, on Monday. He said they planned to ask whether money could be allocated to fund another student resource
Shankel said there had been several problems since Townsend took over as head of the school because she took over after the University had already started the school year.

"You just can't do this tonight, and that's what they're telling us to do," he said. "They want us to give them exactly what we've fought to get for 100 years. The men's programs here didn't start all at once; they developed from clubs.
Walker suggested that women's athletics programs are funded by special apologies and by several agencies.
"Women are not ready for a big-time college program and they don't even want
"If they want it done, they should appropriate the revenue," he said. "I would have no objection to that. Let us fund our own programs, and they can fund theirs."
WALKER SAID THE confusion over the proposals was caused primarily because the proposals were written by a "woman who is not a woman," and know a ball from a bat, and she admits it."
"KU is in better shape on women's athletics than 90 per cent of the universities across the country," he said. "The main problem that we really have is putting two athletic programs into one inadequate facility."
Walker declined to respond to comments made Tuesday by Marian Washington, assistant athletic director for women's intercollegiate athletics. She said that Walker had misinterpreted the meaning of Title IX and that equal funding of men's and women's sports wouldn't necessarily be required.

Washington said the key word in the proposals was "equitable," not "equal."
