Quick supper
Julian Bond, former Georgia state representative takes a quick supper break between a press conference and his 8 p.m. speech in
the Kansas Union. Bond spoke to a packed Union Ballroom about the coming election and blacks' rights.
Bond focuses on Carter,blacks
By BETH SPRINGGATE
Julian Bond, Democratic state senator from Georgia, said last night that he would vote for Jimmy Carter for two reasons: Rep. Morris Udall, D-Minn., wasn't a candidate and Carter wasn't President Gerald Ford.
Voicing concern about the betterment of blacks in America, Bond said he expected Ford to continue the same policies that had marred his political history.
"The reigns of our government have been seized by the comfortable, the callous and the smug," for the "gratuous gratification of the gross and the greedy," he said.
BOND SPOKE to about 450 people in the SA's Election 76 Forum Lecture Series
"The government's attitude toward the poor has changed from benign concern to hostile and intolerant."
During Ford's 25 years in Congress, Bond said. Ford is against much legislation that would limit the use of carbon dioxide.
In the meantime, he said, the black infant mortality rate is double that of whites, black males die on an average of seven children. The black family earns less than $4,000 a year.
He said, "We remain the first to be hired and the first to be fired. For black people, it is sadly true that despite the war on Haiti, one-third of our children still live in poverty."
BOND PROPOSED to help the poor by federalizing the welfare system, creating a negative income tax for the poor and giving them free health care financed by the U.S. treasury instead of insurance companies.
He said that blacks were partly at fault for the position because they hadn't exercised their right to vote.
In the last election, 14 million blacks were eligible to vote, he said, half of them were registered and half of those who registered didn't vote.
He said that as long as peaceful options such as voting luked it been exercised, street protests would not be able.
AND HE NOTED that in the United States, it was hard to keep interest in movements as indicated by the decline in vigor for the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
"Only here do popular movements among the depressed seem to rise and fall as rapidly as do the phases of the moon," he said.
Despite new freedoms for blacks, Bond said, their condition in society has changed
"It is almost as if we were climbing a molasses mountain in showcases while everyone else rides a ski lift to the top," he said.
AT A PRESS conference before the speech, Bond said that he was bothered because the Georgia governor was a Republican candidates for president. He said that even Lester Maddox, former Georgia governor and candidate to run in the state, can Antioch wasn't included on the ballot.
"Neither was as impressive as he ought to have. Carter came off better in the game."
governor of Georgia, "Gov. Carter's reorganization made the state government into a more efficient machine."
He criticized both Ford and Carter for their poor showing in the debates.
He said that despite Ford's criticisms of Carter's programs while Carter was
"Each is allotted a mistake a week. I'm sure either could make a mistake that would condemn him to instant oblivion," he said.
He acknowledged that both candidates were guilty of blunders in the campaign.
Bond said that Carter's statement was a fault that Carter recognized and that Butz' statement was obscene and racially derading.
CARTER'S RECENT statements in Playboy magazine and former Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz 'racial remarks' are not at all the same thing." Bond said.
"It's like comparing the Magna Carta to
scribbling on a jooft wall." be said.
Bond said that blacks probably would lean toward Carter in the election.
"We are yellow dog Democrats. Some of us would support a yellow dog if the Democrats nominated one for president," he said.
ALTHOUGH BOND said he wasn't a yellow-dog Democrat, he said he would vote for Carter, but not because of Carter's party affiliation.
"Ideological differences by party are not as important as ideological differences by the person."
Inspection reports made by the Kansas State Fire Marshal's office on seven more University of Kansas fraternities and one scholarship hall stated that none of the buildings fully complied with the fire code.
He explained further that Ford was tight on spending for the poor, loose on spending for private business and defense and warm to people who were against civil liberties.
About Ford, he said, "Like Earl Butts, we face to talk about things that are tight, like the war."
"Anyone that tight and anyone that warm deserves to be turned loose," he said.
More fire violations found
The reports, issued Monday, brought the number of KU firemattenies in violation of the state fire code standards to 16. The reports on the remaining six other fraternities are still being processed by the state fire marshal's office.
Two fraternities, Triangle and Pi Kappa Alpha, don't have fire alarm systems in their buildings and Tau Kappa Epsilon, Alpha KappaLambda and Stephenson scholarship hall don't have fire alarm standards that meet state fire code standards.
BOB COLLISTER, president of Triangle fraternity, said yesterday that his fraternal body was moving.
because it was waiting to find out what fire alarm systems were acceptable.
"We'd hate to put something in and have the marshal come along and say it's not the right way."
Chris Carter, vice president of FI Kappa Alpha fraternity, said that in the past few years, the fraternity has
"When the house was built, they weren't required," Carter said. "It has been inspected since then and passed everytime until this year."
HOWEVER, LARRY Stemmerman, an inspector from the Lawrence fire department, said that fire alarms systems had been required in organized student housing since 1970 when the Kansas fire safety was revised by the fire marshal's office.
Since then, organized student housing buildings that didn't have fire alarms were built.
Deaths don't disrupt local vaccination plan
Bv BARBARA ROSEWICZ

Local plans for swine flu vaccination are continuing despite the deaths Monday of three elderly Pennsylvania hours after they received the vaccine shot.
Kay Kent, director of the Lawrence Douglas County Health Department, said last night that the Kansas Health Department should continue vaccine distribution as scheduled.
Vaccination of Lawrence nursing home patients began Thursday. So far, she said, she has not received any word of severe reactions to the vaccine.
High risk individuals, those 45 or older and those with chronic health problems should receive the vaccine. Diabetes, can receive the vaccine in about two weeks, she said. Enough vaccine should be available for the rest of the Lawrence community the first or second week of vaccination.
THE KU MEDICAL CENTER immunization program is to begin Friday with vaccinations for top priority, high-risk employees, such as doctors and nurses that work directly with patients. Part of the vaccine supply is to be reserved for high-risk patients until more vaccine becomes available.
There are usually little or no side effects, Chin said, except for people allergic to eggs. The vaccine virus is grown in chicken embryos.
TWO OR THREE per cent of the adults who receive the inoculation may have some fever and aching, or redness and soreness in the area of injection. he said.
There are four manufacturers of the vaccine, Kent said, and Lawrence receives its vaccine from three of the companies. But she said she didn't know whether one was manufactured in Detroit, which manufactured the vaccine given to the three victims in Pennsylvania.
IT'S A "killed" vaccine, he said, which means it doesn't give a person a mild form of the virus, like "live" vaccinations, but it does allow them to be exposed to substances in the body to fight off the virus.
The vaccine distributed to nghr-risk patients is for swine flu and also for the
KU gets few benefits from group
ByJIM COBI Staff Writer
But University of Kansas officials say KU's limited participation in the organization of seven universities has cost little money. Although solid benefits of that participation are still available, the UMA has brought KU some grant money that it otherwise wouldn't have received.
Jerry Hutchison, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, said Monday that in addition, KU might be able to learn about adapting new technology to education.
The University of Mid America (UMA) hasn't received rave reviews for its accomplishments during two years of operation.
KU HAS BEEN more of an observer than an active UMA participant. Hutchison and Ron Calgaard, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said KU had been cautious about adapting, UMA's methods to educational programs offered in Kansas.
Jac McBride, executive vice president of UMA in Lincoln, Neb., said the program had four goals: to design and develop courses, to evaluate the effectiveness of using new communication methods in adult education, to assist member universities in the development of systems of education and to defend its expertise and results to the federal government.
In Iowa and Nebraska, the courses are offered by state television networks. The University of Missouri offers the courses through public and commercial stations Kansas State University offered one course last year over a local station.
MCRIDE SAID that "two or three" courses have been developed for television, but that six more were being planned and developed. He said new courses could be developed only when grant funds were made available.
most Kansas communities with local educational programs for adults. For further, Calgard said, the costs of attending courses by television would be prohibitive.
Although UMA officials are reluctant to admit that there have been problems with the equipment,
KU hasn't yet offered UMA courses.
HUTCHISON AND Ciliagar said Ramsay's extensive communication with parents in private schools provided
of developing such courses apparently have prompted some concern.
But Calgaird said participation in UMA could help KU develop the kinds of courses that could be used in the future in such areas as nurses' training or social work.
"NO DOUBT THE time will come when we'll see increased use of this media in instruction," he said. "To stay abreast of the latest developments, I am in touch with these kinds of programs."
Hutchison said that although television hadn't lived up to expectations in the field of education, it could be important in the future and should be studied.
Group plans teaching tools
Victoria strain of virus, which was the prevalent fun last winter. Chin said.
The University of Mid America (UMA) has no campus, a limited number of students and involves the people of five states.
It is an organization of seven universities that works to develop new teaching methods for people who haven't or won't come to college campuses for post-secondary education. It is a model program, the only one of its kind in the nation, and is funded by federal and private foundation grants. It is used by universities for people who live in isolated areas or for those work schedules prevent them from taking college courses.
UMA was begun in 1947 after officials of the State University of Nebraska (SUN) discovered that Nebraska's population of about 1.5 million couldn't support SUN's educational programs. Those programs include radio and video cassettes and newspapers.
In an attempt to gain higher enrollments in these programs to justify their costs, the cooperative group of UMA was formed. Schools other than KU and SUN that are participating are Kansas State University, the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, the University of Missouri and the University of South Dakota.
Television instruction is costly. Calgary and Hutchison agreed, and remote because they have a large network.
"I personally don't expect an epidemic of swine influenza, but vaccination would not be a problem."
So far, Guam is the only place that has reported large numbers of fau cases, he said. The virus has been isolated and found to be of the Victoria strain and not swine flu.
"It doesn't replace, in the eyes of students, the kinds of relationships that students seem to prefer. It's more a device for information or entertainment," Hutchison said.
Chien Luu, director of the Med Center Division of Infectious Diseases and a vaccination advisory committee member, also said it was unlikely that the vaccine would cause death and that a swine flu epidemic was imminent.
CHANCELLOR ARCHIE Dykes, a member of UMA's board of trustees, said KU was handicapped in trying to use UMA materials because the University lacked an educational television network. However, he said, KU had no reason not to participate in UMA because there was no financial involvement.
KU's only financial commitment to UMA is the expense involved in sending information on the KU website.
Cailgaard said KU hadn't developed any courses for UMA and had little community interaction.
"We were invited to become involved. It was possible in theory that we all could join together and do a better job of developing courses than and individually." Calgaud said,
"OUR INTEREST is principally to get them to deliver into new areas," he said. "The department of psychology graduates no longer in school, Calgaird said, might be a possible adaptation of UMA concepts. He said programs could be used to prepare students for degrees or relicensing examination."

"I think it's a good idea to take the vaccine if you're in high-risk group," he said. "I have never recommended flu vaccination for healthy, young individuals. I don't want you to go without itself. And flu vaccine is generally only 75 per cent effective."

Earlier reports had said that Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity had been forced by the state fire marshal's office to either remove them or move their third floor or build approved fire escapes.
However, Ed Hite, president of Phi Kappa Sigma, said yesterday that fraternity members were still allowed to live on the third floor, but they couldn't sleep there.

Hite said that the fire marshal's office had issued his fraternity a report that stated that the present stairway would qualify as an approved fire escape if a door was admissible. The fraternity house already had another fire escape leading down from the third floor.
