Arrest ends Hearst hunt in California
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Fugitive newspaper heirs Patricia Hearest and three radical comrades were arrested yesterday, both of whom bizarre manhants in American history.
Heart, first the captive and then the zealous comrade-in-arms of the Symbionese Liberation Army, was arrested without resistance in a house in San Francisco's Bernal height district along with fugitive Berkley artist Wendy Voshimura.
The FBI said a 27-year-old housepainter
two women were apprehended, where the

The FBI said it had been watching the house for two days before the arrests.
Neighbors said they thought that Hearst and others had been living in the two-upt apartment about three weeks. The house is in a hilly, moderate income area.
About an hour earlier, police and federal agents arrested SLA members William and Emily Harris when the two were spotted logging on a street a few miles away.
After their arraignment in a crowded federal courtroom, the Harrisises and Hearst were taken by car to an undisclosed location. Hearst smiled and waved at reporters from the back seat of one auto, and Mrs. Harris gave a clenched-fist salute.
"Please call it a rescue, not a capture."
Miss Heearst's father, San Francisco Examiner President Randolph A. Hearst, was in New York on business and said as he was in a plane for San Francisco, "I am very pleased that things turned out the way they did."
"Thank God she's all right," Heart's mother, Catherine, said in a barely audible voice when informed of her daughter's arrest.
Hearst told the bank robbery charge against his daughter, "I don't think anything will happen on that score. After I win, a kidnap victim, you must remember."
FBI special-agent-in-charge Charles Bates said the arrests "effectively put an end to everyone we know who was in the SLA."
The arrest of Hearst came less than 10 miles from the Berkeley apartment where she was kidnaped by SLA members Feb. 4, 1974.
Hearst, 21, and the Harrises were arraigned before U.S. Magistrate Owen Woodruff on a variety of state and federal charges against him in a bail each, pending further hearings today.
In a crowded courtroom two and one-half hours after her arrest, Hearst was arraigned on charges that included bank robbery and federal weapons violations.
In addition to federal charges, Hearst and the Harris face state charges that include kidnaping and robbery. Ast. District Attorney John Howard in Los Angeles said the three would be brought there next week for arraignment.
Yoshimura was released to the custody of the Alameda County Sheriff's office, where she was charged with possessing explosives.

Smoking law enforcement proposed for Hoch staff
By GREG HACK
A resolution calling for Chancellor Archie R. Dykes to give Hook Auditorium personnel adequate authority to enforce state laws passed by the University Council yesterday.
The resolution came after Harry Buchholz, director of the physical plant for buildings and grounds, told the council that smoking in Hoe was a serious fire hazard.
Buchholz said Hoch needed extensive remodeling and new stage curtains. He said the curtains were the worst fire hazard in the building, so they had to be removed from them during the summer.
"There is remodeling that just can't be done until funding is available," he said. "However, if we don't allow smoking, the fire hazard can practically be eliminated."
He said smoking was a problem at concerts. The only way to enforce the nosmoking law would be to stop a concert until smoking stopped, he said.
Jon Joaserand, student member of the council, said SUA officials were making efforts to cut down the smoking at concerts, to stop smoking in concert, to stop smoking could cause violence.
Buchholz said the auditorium structure was no more dangerous than it was 10 to 15
Evaluation teams plan computer cost study
BY ALISON GWINN
The opening of bids for the University of Kansas' new computer system next Friday won't actually foretell the system that will be installed. Robert Wolfe, director of the computation center.
For about three months after the bids are announced, seven computer evaluation teams will study the contractual costs, or costs that the computer vendors have to pay. These costs also add in the "real costs" incurred by the hierarchy over the computer systems' lifetimes.
The seven teams will simultaneously evaluate the technical aspects of the various systems, to see whether they meet both mandatory and optional technical requirements, while they proceed with benchmarking of the systems.
While the benchmarking occurs, a lifecycle cost evaluation team will attempt to
Benchmarking involves visiting the various computer sites and running the University's proposed programs, using a script that requests what properties that proposed by the vendors in their bids.
The benchmarking has two main objectives, Wofle said. It will judge the various systems on what functions they can perform, and it will evaluate the work loads against the systems can maintain, at three points, between July 1, 1978 and June 30, 1982.
Although contractual payments are the main costly item for the University, he said, the real costs, "such as electricity, cooling conversion costs, must also be considered.
predict the amounts of money that each system will cost the University during that period.
Ken Cogger, professor of business, who helped establish guidelines for cost evaluation, said, "There's a series of games in the game that by each vendor before he can be chosen."
The evaluations judge a computer system for a period of six years, Wolfe said, because most computers have lifetimes that last from five to seven years
To judge systems and their costs for a time six years from now, the evaluation must weigh all future values less than present values, he said.
Therefore, information contained in the bids about how a system will operate is weighed less and less heavily as the years progress, Wolfe said. And the costs that result from the information are also weighed less.
Because a vendor knows that a discount occurs for information adjustments made in the system for a time several years from now, a budgetary limit is given for every amount of money paid which says the amount of funds that. University will have available to spend.

Ryun home for training
Jim Ryun has come home.
"We've tried to protect ourselves from the vendor's loading costs up on us at a later date."
He returned a week ago to Lawrence, where he was a student at the University of Kansas between 1965 and 1971. Accompanying him were his wife, Anne; 5-year-old daughter, Heather; 2-year-old
twins, Ned and Drew; and a new addition, 7- week-old Catherine.
years ago except that people smoke in the auditorium now.
In the past there was no smoking in any KU buildings," he said. "In the past few years, however, smoking has increased tremendously."
Remaining will cost about $80,000 and total remodeling costs could be as high as $165,000.
Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor,
said that no specific funding for the auditorium had been requested from the state legislature.
Earlier at the University Council meeting, Dave Shapiro, a member of the Student Senate Commission on the Quality of Classroom Teaching, answered questions about the commission's research activities and tentative conclusions.
"If we get the general building improvement funds we have requested, we hope to replace the curtains in about a year," he said.
Gerhard Zuther, council member, said the committee would take the burden and power of issuing leaves from the University on Promotions and Tenure (UCP).
More than 80 applications for sabbatical leaves must be reviewed each year, Zuther said, and considerable time must be taken to review all of the applicants could be granted leaves.
"Many members of UCPT have said they were overburdened," he said. "Also, there was some question of UCPT at least appearing to have too much power because they ruled on all matters concerning promotions, tenure and sabbatical leaves."
Shankel said a more extensive modem plan in auditorium would be possible for some few years.
In other Council business, the Faculty Couni-
press, comprising the faculty members of
the University Council, created the Com-
munity College of Natural Leaves by a
unanimous vote.
The Faculty Council tabled a motion by Joel Gold, council member, to have FacEx appoint a committee of faculty members and teaching assistants (TAs) to study and report on the quality of classroom teaching at the University of Kansas.
Gold said the faculty ought to look at the report and file a written evaluation of its progress.
The conclusions had already been presented to SenEu and the Student Senate and published in *Science* magazine.

"The report is being presented piecemeal," he said. "We've been given tentative conclusions without the supporting research."
Gold said the faculty need to have a written report because the faculty's verbal performance is often poor.

According to Don Swift, owner of the Jolly Green Jungle Company, the Kansas City-based supplier of the plants, 9,000 plants of 45 varieties were brought to the plant nursery in 1975. A sales is in the United Ministries Center, 1204 Oread St., through Saturday.
There were short ones, tall ones, thin ones and broad ones. However, the occasion was a scene from an Eric Burd Fantasy movie directed by two University of Kansas sororities.
Phil McKnight, director of instructional resources, said he was concerned with the report's conclusions, too. He said the report recommended sweeping changes in the Curriculum and Instruction Survey without requiring research beyond interviewing a few people.
According to Delta Delta Delta sorority member Laurie Anderson, coordinator of the sale, the Tri Delta and the Gamma Phi Beta sororities are sponsoring the sale in order to raise money for scholarships and service projects.
Robert Casad, council member, said the report was a media conscious thing.
"It itooks just like a jungle," Kevin Norsworthy, Lawrence junior, said as he surveyed the sea of Areca Palm, Sensible Cane and Dracaena sinensis plants.
Swift said last night about 3,500 plants had been sold.
He has returned with the hope that him, his former coach, Bob Timmons, his training program will prepare him for his fourth season as a member of the International Track Association (ITA), the professional track tour.
Though many said they were buying plants to decorate their rooms and apartments or give away to others, at least one person suggested they be doing some sort of experiment*
Different vendors talk in different dialects of computer language, Wolfe said. For example, a parenthesis sign can symbolize separate things to different vendors. Computer language is not at all standardized, he said.
"Is he doing some sort of experiment?"
asked one employee to another.
"This is Harry," said one young woman, apparently introducing her two companions.
"Whatever force the report has now is its media force. It has very little data base,"
A conversion evaluation team will also be evaluating the computer systems within the next few months to see how easily the system can be converted to each possible future system.
"Yes." was the reply. "He's doing a

geology experiment. He said that if you put magnet under plants they'll grow better."
Talking to plants, another practice that is able to make plants look well, was witnessed by Ralph Ferguson.
But the variety of plants for sale wasn't the only drawing card for the event. Many said the prices were a factor in their decision to patronize the sale.
"I'm going to buy a Dracaena because they're about four to five dollars cheaper than anyplace I can find them," Terry said. "I just need a plant and just trying to decide which one I want."
"What we are trying to do is provide a vehicle for a local organization to make money," he said. "It's for students who want plants and like plants that make their apartments or dorm rooms more attractive."
Another evaluations team will study the environmental requirements of the different computer systems, to see, for example, what cooling systems are required, both in the temporary computer for the new computation center building.
Swift said that low prices are a key to his business's success.
But according to Swift, profits aren't the driving force behind the Joly Glenn gang.
Swift said the sale should net at least $1,000 for the two sponsoring organizations.
Anderson said Delta Delta siority had hopes of receiving $500 to $700 in profits from the sale. According to Anderson the siority is currently with the Gamma Phi Beta siority.
But for the first time in nearly 10 years, Ryan has returned to Lawrence without a lawsuit.
Rynn isn't worried about his earnings on the tour, though. He also does promotions for Nike track shoes, runs a summer track camp and makes money by speaking and
as a KU student, Ryun was the world's premier middle distance runner, breaking the world record in the mile as a 19-year-old freshman, setting world marks in the 880, 890, and 900 meters and anchoring the jayhawks to world bests in the spring and distance medley relays.
After winning 14 of 17 races on the ITA circuit in 1973, Ryna failed to win a race in 1974 or 1975. Last year he had the flu for a time and suffered an Achilles tendon injury, which prevented him from racing well outdoors.
Sutter, chairman of SenEx, said he started Gold's frustration because the company is a minority shareholder.
BUT BECAUSE HE IS in his last prime years as a runner, Ruy is taking this season by storm.
RYUAN SUN HE WAS surprised to learn, as he was reading the Eugene (Ore.) Register-Guard on May 17, that Filbert Bayi had beaten his record with a 5:5.0 at the 1975 International Freedom Games in Kingston, Jamaica.
The last to fall was his 3:51.1 mile, which
was the national UU championship at
Louisville.

But one by one the records fell.
Ryun was less surprised when he heard that New Zealand's John Walker had run a phenomenal 3:49.4, a time exactly 10 seconds faster than the first below-four minute mile at 3:59.4 run by Roger Bannister in 1954.
Ryn looks to the future. At 28, he is reaching his last competitive years. But he has decided to spend them as he spent his first few years of racing—with Timmons.
"I thought coming back here would hey, Ryan said. "Every time I've come back and worked on a good training program, it's always been productive."
WHILE TRAINING ON HIS own in Santa Barbara, Calif., where he has lived and on the past four years, Ryan said he had been a part of the team he needed to compete on the TA tour.
This year may be more crucial than others.
