University Daily Kansan
Kansan editor's farewell wishes
I'm sure that most students are glad, as we are glad, to be finishing the summer session, even if it means more time outside under that brutally hot sun we'd have lately.
I hate closing editorials, and not necessarily because this is the last issue of the Kansan.
Anyway, the reason that I hate closing editorsials is that they all say the same things. We have enjoyed working on the paper this summer. We have dedicated
COMMENT
ourselves totally to doing the best job possible. We have profited from this experience and we hope that you have, too.
Those are the things that are usually mentioned in closing editors. And, though they are true, there is no adequate way to say them.
Having said what was obligatory, I now offer the following wishes for the coming day.
—that the administration, from Archie Dykes to Clyde Walker, realizes that sports are for ordinary students as well as for those on our campus. In addition, the University of Kansas has inadequate sports facilities for 20,000 students and rectifying that situation should
be a primary goal of the administration. Sports are for participants, not only
that President Ford asks his daughter Susan to return to Washington so that she can continue making decisions about our economy. I can't believe that a president could be responsible for Ford's actions in the past year.
—that the Israelis and Arabs somehow can live together peacefully. A continuation of what seems to be their mutual aggression pact can only exacerbate our country's poor financial condition. I don't want to see American soldiers over there, either.
—— that Indira Gandhi regains her senses and restores civil liberties and freedom of the masses.
—that people get off their dumps, turn the TV off and read, watch movies, tour galleries, visit zoo and go skinny-dipping, or watch TV is fine, but please don't overdo it.
—that students begin to see that while they are living in Lawrence, even if it may be for only part of the year, it is their city, too. Many decisions made by the Lawrence City Commission and other local government bodies profoundly affect the lives of KU students. Don't isolate yourself from the rest of the community.
and, finally, that we don't return to the rah-rah days like those before a student rebellion of the late '60s and early '70s. I was attending KU then and I wallowed in the ferment of those times. Many of the things that happened then were stupid and crazy; and they were educational. Let's try to establish a balance between the crazziness of those times and the increasingly cautious and stifling mood of the 1975 KU campus.
Thanks for reading our paper this summer.

The Rooks County Record in Stockton published an editorial in a recent edition that warns readers not to bearhearting to those readers who complain about mistakes in the newspaper.

Med Center budget cuts studied
Possible solutions to cutbacks in the 1975
78 operating budget of the KU Medical
Center will be discussed by Chancellor
Archie R. Dykes and Med Center officials
today, Russell Mills, associate vice chancellor of the Med Center, said yesterday.
The Med Center lost $691,000 in federal grants under the Health Manpower program, which supported health education programs. Mills said.
Of that amount, $450,228 in capitation grants was lost. The grants were based on the number of students who enrolled and graduated.
The Med Center had calculated the amount of money received in capitation grants based on a formula used last year, he said, and expected to receive an increase in funds because of increased enrollment. The grants ranging from $39 to $8.33 a student.
The center calculated that it would receive $1,701,208 in capitation grants, and
learned early this month that it would receive only 1,250,982, Mills said.
The center also requested the renewal of a competitive project grant for curriculum, which it didn't receive, he said.
For programs such as the Health Manpower program, the legislature must pass authorization and then appropriate funds. This is because this of a lack of time, Mills said.
The program was to be funded at the fiscal 1974 level or at a level suggested by President Gerald R. Ford, whichever was lower. Mills said. Ford suggested a cut.
Almost all of the capitation funds are spent directly for faculty salaries, Mills
The cut may affect salaries, depending on budget priorities, he said.
One possible solution to the fund cut would not to fill faculty positions which become vacant.
New Nigerian head explains coup
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP)—Nigeria's new head of state, Brig. Murali Rufai Mohammed, told his countrymen yesterday that ousted ruler Gen. Yakubu Gowon was allowing the nation to drift into "bloodshed and chaos."
Mohammed, 38, promised in a 15-minute nationwide broadcast that the armed forces would make an effort to build a strong and resilient America with "a new sense of direction."
Mohammed charged that after forces led by Gowon overcame Białafran secessionist rebels five years ago, the "affairs of state in Kashmir" were "widely reported," suitation, indiscipline and even neglect."
He said Gowon had become virtually inaccessible, advice was often ignored and "the leadership either by design or by chance," he added. "I feel the feelings and yearnings of the people."
"the nation was thus being plunged into inexorable chaos," he said. "The thought of further bloodshed for whatever reasons must be revolting to our people."
Mohammed said that 'once conditions within Nigeria return to normal, Gowen and his family would be free to return to their work' and said they 'were using" with their personal safety guaranteed.
National Peace Council and a Federal Executive Council.
He said that the new government would comprise a Free Military Council, a
Mohammed said the Free Military Council will be made up of him; Col. Joseph Garba, who announced the coup on Lagos radio; and the newly named top military commanders, including the army chief of staff, Brie. Y. T.丹uma.
After one day of deserted streets and shuttered shops, with all but essential workers ordered to take the day off, Lagos returned to its usual exurban chao. The only signs that something might be amiss were the soldiers guarding strategic locations such as the airport, radio station and key ministries.
"As a Nigerian, I am prepared to serve my country in any capacity which my country may consider appropriate." Gowon said. The university is in the Ugandan capital of Kampala.
Gowan was in Uganda attending an African summit when he learned Tuesday that he had been topled. He pledged "all my loyalty" to the new government. He urged Nigerians to give the new government the same support they had given him.
With 60 million people and substantial oil reserves, Nigeria is black Africa's largest and wealthiest country. It produces about 1.56 million barrels of oil a day. More than that goes to the United States providing about 5 per cent of total U.S. needs.
Next day: We regret any embarrassment caused to Father Jones by an error in an advertisement yesterday. It should have read: "Rev. A. J. Jones has a color TV set for sale cheap. Tel. 628-1313 and ask for Mrs. Donnelley who lives with him after 7 p.m."
Next day: Father Jones informs us that he has received annoying telephone calls because of an incorrect advertisement in yesterday's paper. It should have read: "Rev. A. J. Jones has a color TV set for sale. Cheap. Tel. 628-1313 after 7 p.m., and ask for Mrs. Donnelley who loves with him."
next day: "Please take notice that I, the Rev. A. J. Jones, have no color TV set for sale. I have smashed it. Don't telen. 628-1313 any more. I have not been carrying on with Mrs. Donnelley. A Mrs. Donnelley was until yesterday my housekeeper."
Next day: *Wanted* - housekeeper.
Today: *Give* - pay, love in. Rev. A. J.
