Canadians 'Salute' New National Flag
By Janet Chartier
KU's Canadian students seem to find their new maple leaf flag a step in the right direction because it is distinctively Canadian.
The new flag was adopted on Dec 15 after a heated 33-day debate in the Canadian Parliament.
"I think it's a good thing but it's too bad it took so long and so much time had to be wasted," Barry Shute, London, Canada, senior, said. "It's the worst session Parliament has had in years."
The new flag. . product of 33 days of hot debate.
A SINGLE RED maple leaf on a white background with vertical borders was the design recommended by an all-party Commons committee.
This committee also voted to have the Union Jack, Great Britain's flag, as a second flag showing allegiance to the Commonwealth.
At one time, a flag with three naple leaves in it was recommended. Shute was one of those favoring that lag.
One general comment was that no other country has two flags. Why should Canada?
"ONE IS good to show complete unity in Canada," Shute said. "For the benefit of all Canada, this is probably the better way."
Pete Mills, Canada graduate student, spoke of the division of Canadian feelings. He said those closely associated to British background preferred the ensign of the British flag.
"Most of the liberal people, supported by French and New Canadians, go for this distinctive new idea," he said.
SHUTE ALSO said he felt the country for many years had wanted a little more independence.
The controversy began last May when Liberal Prime Minister Lester Pearson suggested a blue and white flag with red leaves. He hoped this would help unify French and British Canadians.
"People go along with a country (facing up to something like this," Mills said. "I'm glad they're able to do it."
Kathleen Beattie, Ottawa, Canada graduate student, is pleased to have a flag uniquely Canadian. She feels this is too big an issue to make a blanket statement.
Although Mills is glad the Canadians decided on something more definite in a flag, he wishes it were a little more colorful.
Alarm Kills Sleepy Student
WASHINGTON — (UFI) — President Johnson was urged today to order a five year, $100 million crash program of fertility research to perfect a variety of birth control methods acceptable to all faiths.
The proposal came from the Planned Parenthood Federation in response to the President's Statg of the Union Message pledge to "seek new ways to use our knowledge to help deal with the explosion in world population and the growing scarcity in world resources."
"We attach great importance to the President's statement," said a Planned Parenthood spokesman "This is the farthest any President has ever gone in publicly acknowledging the seriousness of the population explosion, and the U.S. government's responsibility to do something about it."

launch a crash program of research to perfect a variety of fertility control methods acceptable to all faiths," he said.
White House officials said Johnson had not yet decided upon any specific measures to implement his expression of concern about population growth. They said that his statement was a deliberate and carefully considered move to focus public attention on the question and stimulate "constructive" proposals for government action.
HE SAID NIH EXPENDITURES for research in any way related to population control now total about $2 million a year-"A miniscule effort, not at all commensurate with the magnitude of the problem."
The spokesman said an outlay of $20 million a year would be "the absolute minimum" for an effective research program.
The spokesman said a good first step would be for the President to order a sharp step-up in the fertility research programs of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
"We and Catholic leaders have repeatedly urged the NIH to
