U.S. blocks Viet U.N. bid
WASHINGTON - President Ford yesterday instructed Ambassador William Scranton, the U.S. ambassador's application for membership today in the United States, the ambassador.
The Vietnamese government immediately accused Ford of obstructing contacts between Vietnam and the United States, and said his veto order was based on
Scranton, emerging from a White House meeting with Ford, said the President ordered the veto because there has been very little response from Hanoi to U.S. demands for information about Americans missing in action in the Vietnam war. He denied that politics played a role in Ford's decision.
Ford avoids campaign trail
While President Ford presided over two Rose Garden bill-signing ceremonies yesterday, Democrat Jimmy Carter told a campaign audience that Ford had done more to ensure the passage of his legislation.
Sticking to his style of showing himself as president rather than hitting the campaign trail, Ford signed bills requiring government agencies to conduct their business in public and protecting livestock producers against bankrupt packers. Carter, meanwhile, campaigned in Alabama with Gov. George Wallace at his side, trying to persuade Southern voters that he shares many of their conservative views.
Viking 2's life test stalls
PASADENA, Calif. - Scientists tried desperately yesterday to unjam a mechanical arm on the Viking 2 robot that was delaying the experiment most often.
Three biology experiments aboard the lander were properly cranking away, though, apparently having received their shares of Martian soil, scientists said. But the search for organic materials -碳-based molecules found in every living thing on earth - wasn't proceeding as scientists had hoped.
Vikking 2's telescoping arm stopped functioning after scratching the rocky surface and delivering a clump of soil to the tiny biology laboratories Sunday.

SPRINGGIELD. — Three persons charged with conspiring to murder Sen. Edward Kennedy plundered not guilty yesterday to an alleged plot that investigators
All three had lawyers appointed for them, and their cases were continued in Springfield District Court until Monday.
One of the men charged, David King, 31, of Springfield, Mass., told reporters Sunday that he had been offered $30,000 to help kill Kennedy at a Springfield hotel where Kennedy was campaigning for renomination in today's Massachusetts Democratic primary.
King had been released on personal recognizance Saturday by a District Court clerk.

Those disclosures last night by a senior official aboard Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's plane came on the eve of a meeting today in Pretoria, South Africa, between the prime ministers of South Africa and Rhodesia—John Vorster and Ian Smith.

Parsons said, "There are a lot of problems with bicycle thefts in California, and when I came to KU, I hugged a padlock my son was wearing and rid of it, because I didn't need it here."

Schroders would be better to distribute lists of bikers' rights among students and car drivers.
"Drivers don't realize the rights bicycle riders have." Schreder said. "Driver education classes should instruct drivers on how to handle and bikers should know drivers' rights."
"The biggest problem we have with bicycle riders is that they don't stop at stop signs. And believe it or not, we have a problem with them speeding," he said. "On radar we have had bicycle riders registered up to 40 m.p.h."
Major Bobby Ellison of the KU police suggested some sort of re-education for
Hazardous intersections, according to Ellison, are 15th Street and Engel Road, because of its poor visibility; 15th Street and Naishtown Drive, Sunyside and Sunflower Road, students are forced and Sunflower Road, because students are reluctant to stop at stop signs.
Parsons suggested that the best way to decrease campus traffic was to extend the hours that unauthorized cars were restricted from campus.
"The University should keep carr off campus until about six to seven night," he hailed.
In the meantime, it looks as if bike riders and motorists will continue to snarl and curse at each other until the streets are, perhaps, void of one of the two.
NEW YORK (AP)—The leader of a small band of Croatian-born nationalists and his American wife each were held on bonds of $1 million yesterday for the transatlantic skyjacking of a Trans World Airlines jet with 92 persons aboard. Their three comrades also were held on bail of $1 million each.

Aerosols damaging ozone science academy says
WASHINGTON (AP)—The National Academy of Sciences said yesterday that fluorocarbons in aerosol sprays are damaging the earth's ozone shield and may have to be regulated or banned within two years to guard against higher skin cancer rates and potentially serious climate changes.
"Selective regulation of CFM (chlorofluoromethane) or fluorocarbon uses and releases is almost certain to be necessary at some time and to some degree of completeness," said a new academy report.
Two academy panels concluded that fluorocarbons are destroying the ozone layer.
from dangerous ultraviolet radiation. They said excessive radiation could increase the rate of human skin cancers, depress food supply and seriously change the planet's climate.
One of the panels recommended, however, that the government immediately overhaul its legal regulatory machinery to be prepared for action, and that aerosol containing fluorocarbons be labeled so that consumers could avoid them if they wished.
Academy president Philip Handler said the rate of ozone reduction was relatively small at present and that "a one or two-year increase in air pollution would not be unreasonable."

enrolled late to avoid the regular enrollment procedure or to get in extra time
Under the late enrollment system, students who enroll this semester between the end of regular enrollment, Aug. 20, and Sept. 17, pay a $10 penalty. Students who enroll after Sept. 17 pay $25. No enrollment is allowed after Oct. 1.
"With all the paperwork involved, I don't know whether $50 would cover all the expenses."
It wasn't fair, he said, to allow late enrollment during the first two days after high school, and that it encouraged during regular times weren't allowed to change classes for several weeks.
Ron Calgaard, vice chancellor for academic affairs, and officials of three KU schools said, however, that they hadn't seen any evidence that about large numbers of late enrollers.
HE POINTED OUT that late enrolleurs were taking spots in popular classes before students who needed to change their schedules had a chance to enter the classes.
CALGAARD SAID there weren't significantly more enrollers this year than in recent years. There was a slight increase in college enrollment a decade ago, he said, when state colleges and universities began to open classes in August rather than in mid-September.
Most late enrollers are students who can't give up their summer jobs until after Labor Day, he said. Calgaard said he didn't think the failure of abuse of the late enrollment procedure.

A sundries area has been added to the Kansas Bookstore.
Sundry sales in bookstore vary
Mike Beahon, assistant bookstore manager, said last week that drugs, shampoo and adhesive bandages were selling well, but that several boxes of diet aids, home permanents and packages of toilet paper had gone untouched.
He said that although prices were generally four or five cents higher at the time, they would be lower now.

experienced an increase in late enrollment this fall.
"If they're willing to pay the late enrollment fee, we've got no choice but to go."
"We're not trying to compete with K Mart or Gibson's," Beahon said.
John Tollefson, associate dean of the School of Business, said the number of late enrolers in that school was also about the same as last year, and weren't causing any problems for the students.
The experimental sundries area is one way the bookstore is trying to serve the students' needs, he said, and it will be improved and possibly expanded when Beahon determines what items students seem to need most.
"I've talked with a few students who have enrolled late and they seem to have legitimate reasons," he said. "Some have to stay on their jobs until after enrollment."

Lelap Cenps, associate dean of the School of Education, said the school had processed more class changes than usual, but not more late enrollments.
Appearing at a bail hearing before U.S. Magistrate A. Simon Chrein on air piracy charges were Croatian-born Zvonko Bonic, 30, an unemployed waiter identified by the FBI as leader of the hilak gang; and his wife, Julienne, 27, a native of Gureen, Ore., and an unemployed school teacher. Both were from New York.
"We typically enroll some teachers late because they are teaching during the first few days of enrollment," he said. "There are always a few people who enroll late purposefully for various reasons—some legitimate, some not."
