"WHY, I KNOW BROTHER JIMMY'S @JT A SERMIN N HERE SOMEWHERE!"
Your cheatin' heart
Jimmy Carter stepped up to the lectern and let his eyes roam over the audience. He was establishing eye contact with a crowd of Democratic supporters who had come to hear him speak.
One member of the audience, an attractive blonde, slid her chair out from one of the tables. The motion caught Carter's eye. He looked at her from his gaze up on him. He paused after making one of his opening jokes.
HE HAD a vision of a roaring
bonde. He had just laughed in his heart.
He had just laughed in his heart.
He abruptly brought himself back to school and launched into a speech on tax reform
I suppose that was the kind of situation Carter had in mind when he told a Playboy magazine interviewer "looked on a lot of women with lust."
THE SAME thing can happen to any healthy male or female when he sees an attractive member of the opposite sex. Such thoughts probably occur several million times a day in this country, and Playboy and the other skin magazines do their best to keep the total up.
There's nothing wrong, or even immoral, about such thoughts. But
when a man who has stressed his religion makes those thoughts public in between pages of mude women, I begin to see the tension. Carter is sincere in any of his beliefs.
CARTER, with his usual directness, to reporters soon after they learned of the death.
I don't remember saying those things. I don't know I don't remember
The timing of the press discovery of the interview was probably unfortunate for Carter. The public had just seen pictures of Nelson Rockefeller waving his middle finger at a heckler. One more politician doing something of questionable taste was too much.
Carter apparently was trying to appeal to the liberal, young male audience that reads Playboy. But anyone who casts his vote based on a politician's record of using the word "screw" should write in the name of Richard Nixon. Nixon gave us many examples of how to use the word, and if Carter is to overcome Nixon's record he had better get busy.
Maybe he will, I'm sure that Hustler,

Shenanigans, a new discotheque at Ninth and Mississippi streets, has entered the ranks of most popular night spots in town.
Disco faces familiar complaints
The distinction wasn't made by the Chamber of Commerce or the Lawrence City Commission or even by the disco's clientele. It was made by residence and residence at last week's city commission meeting to chastise the disco's very existence.
THE COMPLIANTS have been heard before; insufficient parking; impromptu urinating and wreckless driving. These are the problems brought about by too many kids having too much fun. These are the trademarks of the most harmful Lawrence nightclubs.
And so, following in the footsteps of the ever-popular burgers at Shenanigans and the Shenanigans' management and disgruntled neighbors are at odds. The city commission is accepting a constitution acceptable to both sides.
Following a city commission directive, Mike Wildgen, assistant city manager, and other city administrators met with the residents of dozen people who think the disco has to go. The city pledged

to increase patrols by police and firemen to assure that parking and traffic regulations weren't violated.
BUT THE complainers think a permanent solution requires more than that. Although the area is zone C-5, the most liberal of all city zones, the complainers question whether a disco is legally permitted to operate in zone C-5, even zoning regulations, the say Nowhere does it say discies may do business in a C-5 zone.
Wildgen told the zoning regulations were written in 1966 before many people even knew what a disco was. They don't
music and dancing may operate in a C-5 zone.
As for parking, well, the excuse is that no one anticipated Shenanigans' rapidly acquired popularity. The zoning regulations require 65 parking spaces and only the Shenanigans, Wildmen say. The Shenanigans parking lot has 59. And the Shenanigans management has hired people to tell patrons where to park has leased additional spaces from businesses in the area.
Last night, Wilden reported to the commission on Friday's meeting. Just what action it will
take now, if any, isn't known.
The commission discussed the matter and listened to advice from those who attended Friday's meeting but took no drastic measures.
More than likely, the commissioners will discuss the problem, listen to advice from city administrators who attended the meeting and decide to let the problem ride for a warden after all, increased police and fire patrols might help.
But there are more serious problems here that can't be solved by a squad car or redefined zoning regulations. There are apparent attitudinal problems on the part of those who don't use security surveillance night spots and of those who frequent them.
**SHEANIANGANS' patrons should have the courtesy to meet them in the early afternoon, rev up their car engines at some other hour than midnight. They should also abide by laws that limit parking and parking on private property.**
Those who complain should realize that the problem isn't the addition of another night but rather the continued lack of really classy places for a KU student to go in Lawrence.
A few more places like Shenanigans, especially places that cater to the under-21 crowd, offer alternative many problems. Crowds could frequent several discos, and no one residential area would continually have to accommodate such places Shenanigans has caused.
STUDENTS PACK into Shenanigans because they simply don't have many other places to spend their evenings. They go to a daughnt, seeing a movie or a Mass," he says old after a while.
Entrepreneurs may soon begin to question whether a new night spot for KU students is worth the trouble—they might just as well take their money to Atlanta. It's too bad.
Right to know depends on case
Not every journalist who says he'll go to jail before he'll reveal his source should have a heres a medal hung around his neck. A difference exists between a case like Daniel Scherr of CBS, and an actual case with the Fresco Bee who just finished a couple of weeks in the pokey for refusing to tell a judge the name of their snatch.

is failing to perform its duties.
The Bee had published an article based on grand jury testimony concerning allegations of bribery of a public official. The official was subsequently indicted but acquitted, so this struggle revolves around the efforts of the prosecutor to punish an unknown somebody for breaching the secrecy and compromising the integrity of the grand jury system.
At one of the hearings on the Fresno Bee case, Jack Nelson of the Los Angeles Times, a premier American journalist, said he thought that grand jury leaks to the newspapers helped
PUBLISHING grand jury material is a serious matter. There are no rules of evidence in grand jury proceedings; any accusation, any gossip, any talk about anyone is admissible.
There is no cross-examination, no adversary questioning, no testing of

is even enough evidence to make it worthwhile to try that somebody in front of a regular jury. A grand jury is meant to protect us against malicious and groundless persecutions.
TO PRINT grand jury testimony may be much the same as publishing the contents of raw, unverIFIed FI file files, and we know how accurate they can be. That is why damaging innocent people's reputations? The people's right to know—that nebulous, undefined right—can hardly extend to any and all testimony filed in the grand jury. About the only justification for printing what
unsubstantiated and untrute things are said to grand juries that a newspaper wouldn't dare print without the excuse it was quoting from a public record. Which brings up an important question: do the First Amendment contend a television station's suborn or be the recipient of any kind of filth uttered in a grand jury room, broadcast it and be immune from the libel laws?
Judge John Sirica in opening up the Watergate case.
MOST OF the crimes grand juries busy themselves with are serious felonies, but they seldom have important public evidence. They can't be used as a justification for damaging people's lives and privacy. Remember, once an indictment is handed down, the judge has to give the evidence in the case is made public during the trial.
Even if what Nelson says is so, that doesn't constitute a sufficient reason for newspapers to arrogate to arrogate the right to make other grand jury proceedings public.
THAT IS the case with an open trial. At an open trial, however, there is a judge who is supposed to exercise close control over what may be said; there is also a defense attorney to challenge and offer rebultuary. Thus it's reasonable and fair to treat the patients immunity over reporting what is said at trial, but none of these protections exist with grand juries.
In recent years grand juries themselves, particularly federal ones, have come under attack for having been persecuted by prosecutional tools. The power of a district attorney to use the grand jury as an instrument of terror will be enhanced if he can persuade his peers without worry about being punished for his indiscretions, because the leakes cannot be held accountable either for how they informed the information or the harm broadcasting it may have caused.
fine phrase, but the people themselves may decide to forge their right if it is interpreted to mean that no level of government, regardless of function, is subject to a decrement of formation confidential. Media executives can warble quotations from Thomas Jefferson on the free press till the cows come home, and they're asking that the Daily Planet has a right to publish somebody's tax returns just because that somebody is "under suspicion" or "in line for a high аppeal" accused in front of a grand jury of having sex with the spouse of a procurement officer.

THAT'S WHY the Daniel Schorr case is so different from the Fresno one, in which the evidence against the official accused of bribery was subsequently made public at the trial at which he was acquitted. The case of secrecy except the seal of secrecy except the commercial one of publishing first?

Philly follies for Gerry, Jimmy

PHIADELPHI-AH. The atmosphere is tense tonight as the Democrats await politicians await the first of the Great Debates between President Gerald Ford and Republican nominee Jimmy Carter.
Stage-left: Ford stands alone, waiting, attempting to tie his tie.
Stage-right: Carter sits while makeup men re-do his face.
"NESSEN!" Ford yells at his press secretary, who hustles to Ford's side. "Help me with this will you?" Nessens struggles with Ford's tie, and with his own finger and Ford's index Somehow, both seem to have gotten caught in the ties knot.
"Is my head too shiny?" Ford asks. Nessen glances at Ford's head.
"Makeup!" he vells.
MEANWHILE Jimmy Carter is having his forehead sprayed with hair spray.
Elizabeth Drew, a staff writer for the New Yorker, walks by.
and Carter gets an eyeful of hairspray.
"Ms. Drew," Carter called out, wiping his eye with a hand knife. She turned." I enjoyed it. Much I've enjoyed your writure."
Drew eyed Carter suspiciously. Carter eyed Drew, not so suspiciously.
"I HASTEN to add," Carter said, "that I look upon thee not with lust, but with compassion"
Drew winced; Carter didn't notice.
"And let me further add that although I have committed adultery I have times in my life when I'm just going to chance to commit it in the rear seat of my limousine." Shocked, Drew stumped away.
Carter emerged into the dazzling light stages. So did the two men approached each other slowly, cautiously covering the twenty feet that separated them nearly two and one-half miles.
"PLACES everyone."
Carter smiled; Ford squinted.
Retaliating, Ford lowered his
head. Carter put his hand to his eyes. White. House photographer David Kennedy burned a hole in one of his Nikon's shutters white at first to record the famous moment.
DEBATE moderator Edwin Newman made the customary introductions. The men shook hands. Carter spoke first;
"Mr. Ford, if seems I have committed another sin in my heart, and I would like to apologize."
"As I saw your head, I thought the moon had risen early," Carter responded.
"AND," CARTER added, "as a Christian I would like to apologize for standing on your shoes."
"What sin?"
Ford looked down. "Get off,
you Southern moron," he
snarled.
"Let he who is without intelligence cast the first stone,"
"Sir, I am standing on them now."
"When did you stand on my shoes?" the president asked, apparently puzzled.
On the other hand, what if He turns out to be a Democrat?
Carter said, "And, if I might be permitted an addition to that phrase, let he who flip-flopeph the most be glory in the eyes of God and the electorate. And my he who bringeth up my interview with Playboy magazine descended upon him plague him and an occasional reference to the Nixon pardon.
"What do you think of it?" Carter asked. "I just made it up."
Ford smiled. "Just a little joke between us Christians," he said and put his arm around his shoulders. "Shall we pray?"
"IT STINKS." Ford said.
T H I N K S, Ford said.
"May I remind you sir, that it was you who put the whoopee cushion on my chair."
"Perhaps I could help you with you tie," Carter said, grabbing Ford by the throat.
"WELL IT was him that started it," Ford said, freeing himself from Carter's near-leak grasp.
AT 9:31 P.M., the debate started. By 10 p.m., Ford aides were concerned about their candidate's performance.
Newman grimaced, "Mr.
President, that sentence was
grammatically incorrect,
"Now,
strictly speaking . . ."
The debate, scheduled to start at 9:30 p.m. EDT; was delayed; an alert cameraman noticed the camera's flash on its mitt tapered to Caterer's podium.
"Holy cow," one was overheard to have said. Carter's stomping all over of God to pull this out."
"Gentlemen . . . Please!" Newman said.
He paused abruptly, and mumbled something to another side.
"Thirty seconds to air time. Places everyone."
"DEFINITELY not," the other aide said. "We're not going to put the 7th Fleet on full alert."
The first aides didn't seem defeated. "Maybe some sort of blackout . . . some sort of power failure."
A smile caught his lips. It grew.
"I wonder what Chuck Colson is doing tonight?"
I was enlightened about the University Events Committee as a freshman. In my Speech 140 class we did a group project that involved selling lemonade for a dime, giving it away, and giving people a dime to try it. We were given a dime went to Strong Hall to see whether there were any restrictions. We were told to present our case to the University Events Committee.
Lemonade must be Union-made
To the Editor:
At the committee meeting, the consensus was to not let us do it because it would be competition with the Kansas Union. One individual stood up and joined in research. He said academic freedom was being swept under the carpet.
Letters
We aced the project in spite of the University Events Committee.
We were finally allowed to do our experiment with the usual restrictions as to time and place: three afternoons between Dyce Hall and the Union. There was one additional lemon from the Union we had to buy the lemonade from the Union at $1 a gallon.

Worth the time
I am writing to inform the student body in the College of Liberal Arts of some little interest be of some interest to them.
The first fact is that scholastic abilities are no the first consideration of employ graduates to fill positions.
According to Mr. Geissler of the College Placement Office and to the Endicott Report of 1976, business recruiters now place students in colleges with qualifications than on scholastic ability. These personal qualifications include maturity, initiative, enthusiasm, poise, self-confidence, work with people. Ranked fifth among six major factors listed in the Endicott Report was "Experience in campus activities," especially leadership and information in extracurricular life."
Some professional schools, such as the law school, also take courses in the account. The Law Committee also interested in a student's campus activities, especially in policy making and information in policy making bodies.
It is also a way for the student to get evidence of his personal qualifications on record.
The second fact is that students can get experience in these extra-curricular activities offered by the school hours a month. The activity I have in mind is the College Assembly. The College Association gives the student a workshop where he can gain experience in expressing ideas, public speaking, decision making how to work with people.
Students who have worked on the Assembly tell me that they also gained insight into how and why a "system1" is run the way it is.
The last point is that the College Assembly elections are being held October 5 and 6. The vote will be taken at Assembly can be obtained from
the college office in 206 Strong Hall, or by contacting me at 843-1122.

Check it out for yourself with the Placement Office or your professional school, then file to run before 4:30 p.m. Oct. 1.
Burning issue
To the Editor:
In response to the article "Employees fuming in smoke filled Wescott Terrace," a group of teachers know why we can't stop the excessive smoking? Instead of spending vast amounts of money on new air conditioning units, they should go for educational purposes)
and using precious energy for these units, let's stop the "I don't care" attitude that many smokers tend to take.
Personally, I'm getting sick and tired of walking into smoke-filled rooms and being slowly swept away against murder. It's a fact that cigarette smoke inhaled by the nonsmoker as well as the smoker causes lung cancer. When are people going to wise up? Then, if there still a need for a new air conditioning system, I suppose I could concede to that idea. Better yet, though, why do we need doors or install windows that don't let nature do the fresher thing.
