Two praise clemency program
For those deserters and draft evaders who decided to participate in President Ford's clemency program, making amends for a decision not to fight in Vietnam has been a good experience, according to two Kansasans who participated in the program.

Only 24 men have been referred to the Kansas office of the Selective Service System for job placement, and of that 24 only 8 currently are working at public institutions. Mark Paul Idi, deputy director of the Kansas Selective Service, said recently.
Idol said the deadline for joining the program originally was Feb. 1 but President Ford extended the deadline to March 1.
THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN closed to new applicants since that time, he said, but the President has the power to reopen the program.
Bryan Keller, 22, is working as a city maintenance worker in Topeka to fulfill the alternative service obligation of Ford's clementy plan.
"I've been able to pay the bills and
spend so it isn't really that bad," Keller
did.
Working for $3.06 an hour, Keller makes about $100 a week after taxes. He lives alone in Brooklyn and has no children.
"I don't have much of a problem getting by," he said, "but of course I don't have a car."
Keller munt serve seven more month
alternative service is finished,
performing its duties.
"I like this town and a working here," he said. "There is room for advancement with the school."
KELLER SAID HE planned to continue working for the city of Topeka after he completes his 15 months of required service.
Keller said he moved to another state three years ago, after he received a draft notice. He went to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Chicago, where he was referred to the Kansas Selective Service Office because he wanted to live in Topeka.
Idol said the procedure established for draft evaders who wanted to participate in
No shortage expected in antifreeze supply
No shortage of antifreeze is expected this year, according to seven Lawrence merchants and service station operators surveyed yesterday.
Jim Warren, owner of Jim's Mobil, 901
Kentucky St, said prices were down from
Richard Wright, automotive manager at Montgomery Ward and Co., 23rd and Ousdahl streets, said he had already received all the antifreeze he thought he would need. He said his store said antifreeze must be $4.99 at the regular price of $4.99 a gallon, he said, because the demand was so great they couldn't afford to put it on sale.
Spencer to get pre-1900 deeds
Douglas County deeds and mortgage records dated before 1900 are being transferred this week from the Douglas County Collection in Spencer Research Library.
Many of the deeds and mortgages are in bad condition because of bad storage conditions.
The documents are part of a collection that comprises minutes of County Commission board meetings, tax records and court records, George Griffin, curator of the Records Collection, said yesterday. All the records date back to before 1906, he said.
NeuNautist, register of deeds, said that macrofilm copies of most of the documents are lost.
The print quality on the microfiltro sometimes is poor because of the faded ink on many of the original papers, she said, but the other papers will refer occasionally to the originals.
The County Commissioners authorized the transfer early this summer.
Neusifter said a few documents were moved in July and estimated there were 185 cases.
last year but were higher than prices two years ago.
Warren said antifreeze prices were at their highest last year when a gallon of antifreeze sold at retail for $8. Two years ago, he said he was selling a gallon for $50.
Lon Smith, service manager at K-Mart, 31st and Iowa streets said he wasn't aware of any shortage this year. Although a gallon was almost half the price last year, Smith said, K-Mart was selling national brand for $3.70 a gallon for a limited time. The company, he said, stipulated that customers buying antifreeze at a per piece price were limited to two gallons a person.
Smith said he thought the price might increase if a shortage developed later this week.
Vic Olmstead, a television technician in Sears Roebuck and Co. service department, 999 Iowa St., said Sears had a large supply of antifreeze this year. Olmstead said Sears was selling the antifreeze for $3.99 a gallon which included putting it in the car.
Omstead said he had heard that last year's shortage was caused because ethyl glycol, the main ingredient in antifreeze, also was being used in many permanent-press fabrics and there wasn't enough for antifreeze.
the program was different from the procedure for deserters.
"This year, with the recession, people didn't buy clothes as readily and more was lost," she said.
He said he didn't know exactly how much Sears antiretroline was for last year but said it was worth $1,000.
Deserters, under Ford's plan, were to report to a military base of their branch of military service, which evaluated their cases and referred them to the Selective Service headquarters in the state of their choice, Idol said.
Joe Yost, clerk at Gibson's, 2525 Iowa Joe said the automotive department had plenty of antifreeze on stock this year, although it has been a direct result of last year's scarcity.

which was a few cents from last year,
*yes.*
Philip Hoffman, attendant at Don's hall, 66 Sixth St., said his station had received an order for a repair from its dealer. He said the peak demand for antifreeze would be in two or three weeks.
Don's 66 charges $5.95 a gallon including installation.

He said the University favored letting each school set its own criteria.
HOWEVER, HE SAID that student evaluations weren't frequently fair because professors who teach required courses were almost always less popular than those who teach electives. He also said that a direct correlation existed between the size of a class and a teacher's popularity, with large classes meaning less popularity.
Dale Scannell, dean of the School of Education, said, "I think we have a pretty fair system already, but we'll go along with any University policy.

Ten men who were referred to the Kansas Selective Service Office decided not to participate in the amnesty plan, Idol said. Although no charges have been filed against him, he has served on the program, he said, the U.S. Attorney in Kansas might still file charms against them.

Idol said he thought the men who had high-paying jobs were reluctant to join the program because they wouldn't earn enough money to support their families in the way to which they had become accustomed.
--for participating in Market Research Study
Another participant in Ford's clemency plan, who wished to remain anonymous, said he was happy with the program, but was reluctant to comment because he feared losing his job. The man, who lives in Wichita, said he lived in Canada for several years and returned to the United States to join the amnesty plan.
HE REFERRED TO the case of Jim Jark, formerly of Lawrence, in which City Court found him guilty.

Construction of the TRW Inc., Crescent Wire and Cable Division plant in the Santa Fe Industrial Subdivision in northwest Lawrence will begin this week.
Cable plant expanding
About $1.3 million in equipment and new buildings will be added to the former B. F. Goodrich warehouse, which will house TRW Inc. When the expansion is finished, the will be used to manufacture electrical cable used to operate oil-well pumps.
Eic Walther, project manager, said Saturday the expansion was to begin this summer but it was delayed because of issues with the extrusion machine that is on the site.
The parts were needed for construction of a 454-foot tunnel in which rubber insulation for electrical cable will be cured by a steam process.
TRW plans a 10-year $10 million expansion program in Lawrence that even includes new office buildings.
Once completed, the cable is about 1¼ inches in diameter and is transported on a roll.

Work began yesterday to relandcape the area around the Chi Omega fountain at the campus.
Chi O area landscaped
Gene Bilch, supervisor of grounds and landscaping, said yesterday the existing building had been opened.
"It's a customary practice that when you are overgrown they need to be reintroduced."
Bilch said that the evergreens in the area were shedding and breaking and that Chancellor Archie R. Dykes suggested they be replaced.
the evergreens were planted when the fountain was constructed in April, 1955, he said. The fountain was donated to the University by the Chi Omega Sorority as part of the anniversary celebration of the founding of the Chi Omega chapter at KU.
Kelly Scott, president of Chi Omega, said the reaction of the sorority members was generally unfavorable because they weren't aware that any changes would be made.

"If we had more money, we'd do it more often," he said. "We're continually cutting down trees on campus but we replace them with twice as many."
Bitch said the project should be completed this week. Total cost of the land-scaping work was estimated at $1,500, he said.
