CIA's war finances checked
WASHINGTON—A Senate subcommittee is conducting a preliminary inquiry into allegations that the Central Intelligence Agency printed counterfeit American currency.
Howard J. Feldman, majority counsel for the Senate permanent subcommittee on investigators, said he and team members had been checking the allegations for years, since he was able to investigate them.
"We've just received allegations like that," he said. "We have no firm corerption."
Feldman said the subcommittee, headed by Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash., and checked with the CIA on the allegations that a said it could find no evidence of anything to attack him or put further kills on him.
Foreigners flee Angola
LUANDA, Angola—About 85 British and other West European citizens flew out of angola, an americans prepared to leave by boat to escape fighting between the two sides.
Meanwhile, there was a brief skirmish between Portuguese troops and the Movement for the Liberation of Angola after the guerrilla group wounded two Portuguese officers. Mortar fire was heard through the night in Luanda's shantytowns, and oil air fire raged near Launda Bay.
"I don't know when we will be back. It could be sometime before the country invades." I said, shrugging off the consultation and joined the group leaving for England aboard a Royal Air Force plane.
ANKARA — Turkish armed forces units haven’t entered any of the two dozen U.S. military installations in Turkey despite earlier government announcements that they have no intention to enter the country.
Turkish forces simply took down the American flag and posted sentries at the entrance gates, according to reports from Turkish journalists scattered across Europe.
A takeover plan was still in preparation and implementation will begin today, the sources said. They said the Turkish general staff, in charge of carrying out the government order, was drawing up a list of which Turkish units and commanders to assign to which base.
Ohio governor to testify
CLEVELAND—Ohio Gov. James A. Rhodes takes the witness stand this week in a civil damage suit stemming from the killing of four students and the wounding of six victims in Ohio.
Rhodes, two senior military advisers and Kent's former president, Gobert
were scheduled to testify either today or Tuesday as the trial its enthralls 118.
The victims and their families have accused Rhodes of illegally using the police force to harass them. The students were gunned down by a guardmen the afternoon of May.
The plaintiffs complain that Rhodes, "by the sound and fury of his remarks," at a gun battle, surrendered to the troops a blank check to use a force without restraint to pull down demonstration.
Testimony opens Little trial
RALEIGH, N.C. — Testimony is expected to begin this afternoon in the trial of Joan Little, a black woman accused of murdering a white jailer.
Jury selection was completed last week. The panel includes seven whites and five blacks.
Prosecutors allege that Little murdered the jailer, Clarence Alligood, in attempting to escape nearly a year ago. Little has argued she killed Alligood with an arrow.
Feminists have made an issue of the case, arguing it should establish a woman's right to defend herself against rape.
The widespread publicity of the case has helped raise $20,000 needed by defense attorney Jerry Paul and his team of more than a dozen assistants.

lot of people taking on responsibility." He said the chairman's role was one of coor-
diting, but the president could not do so.
The main projects facing the department are finding more space for the department's activities and developing a better undergraduate curriculum, Sherman said.
"The program here was built at the graduate level, and the undergraduate degree developed from it," he said. "We need to revamp the entire undergraduate development program to teach skills more directly related to the undergraduate degree."
Sherman received his Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 1964 and joined the University of Kansas faculty in 1966. In addition to his position as professor of human development, he is also a research associate in the Bureau of Child Research. His research interests are language development and behavior modification.
BlieLAN joined the KU faculty as an acting assistant professor in 1969. She is a graduate of the present, she is also the director of the Child Development Laboratory, a subsection of the department. Her research interests are investigative learning and instruction-following.
HEW used LSD in tests
WASHINGTON (AP)—The U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare gave LSD to 2,500 prisoners, mental patients and paid volunteers between 1948 and 1986 to determine whether it had any value, value, according to government sources.
Sources at HEW's National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), which conducted the government's "in-house" experiments, were able to identify anyone without his knowledge and consent.
The NIMH studies were performed for the most part on the biomedical research campus at the National Institutes of Health in suburban Bethesda. Md.
It wasn't explained how informed consent was obtained, however, from mental patients at Spring Grove State Hospital at Catonsville. Md.
Most were one-shot affairs, an NIMH spokesman said, meaning that volunteers, prisoners and mental patients were given more time to respond or to institutions after the effects were off.
An official NIMH spokesman confirmed basic details of the experiments but said exact figures weren't available immediately.
The purpose of the experiments was to determine whether there had any value in the use of the magnetically ill-defined input.
another said the experiments suggested that the same limited value in that particular alcohol.

Ann Evans, director of the center, has said that many persons preferred arts and crafts to more serious art forms in their homes.
An unusual collection of woven textile pieces on display at the Lawrence Arts Center, 801 and Vermont streets, is clearly designed with new arts and crafts as articula form.

The collection, which consists of about 20 pieces by local artisans, is dominated by a brown woven creation by Rudolph Kovaacs, assistant instructor of design.
It forms a large U-shaped loop that is draped by a long tubular shape forming leg-like appendages. The whole creation looks like an enormous headless ostrich.
Kovacs has five other pieces on display.
Of these, perhaps the most interesting is his
split tapestry, "Breakaway." The piece
comes from the confrontations of everyday

It begins with about ten stripes woven in brown, neutral, olive and burnt orange. About midway through, Kovacs ends half of the stripes, tying them off and letting them dangle. The center stripes continue for another 12 inches.
Another exciting piece in the collection is beasal Selenaviasm, associate professor of botany at Boston University for large rectangle, stitched and quilled. The material is batiked in shades of greens, oranges and reds with circular cell flowers standing in relief against the background.

Info center a fount of knowledge

A square room, lined with cork and
marmoset rooms and posters, sits in
Strong Hall away from the
This is the Information Center, also known as 864-3506.
The center started as a volunteer-staffed rumor control center in 1970 to fill the need for a place of authority during times of campus unrest.
Located originally in space in the dean of women's office, the center was moved in the summer of 1970, when Chancellor E. R. Pitman made it to make it a formal part of the University.
The center continued to be a rumor control center through the student demonstrations of 1972, but since then rumors have changed.
"Now we're rumor control as far as sirens going down Jayhawk blvd. go. But now we have more access to the community type of information, the director of the Information Center, has said.
This information varies from recipes to library hours to how to recognize the bite of a brown recluse spider, and sometimes the faces of the person answering the phone.
The office has three main files. One catalogs current events, including conference materials and other materials that contains information on academic offices, including their open hours, their directors
The third file, and the one used most often, is the topical file, which contains general information on virtually everything about the University.
For example, the copying services file
During peak months, the Information Center receives about 10,000 calls. The very busiest time is August, during enrollment. For two weeks beginning with enrollment, over 7,000 calls are received. The center doubles its staff and someone sits out in the office to handle these calls. To guide confused freshmen during their first days at the University.
catalogs all the Xerox machines on the University, their locations and their costs.
Because there are so many different way to conceptualize topics, a card file, called flat roll-dex, fits in front of the telephone, or could be used under any names which they might be called.
"We try to be a real humanizing part of this system," Hogard said. "Any time you pass the buck, we'll pass the buck. We try to say, 'The buck stops here.' It's our responsibility to be courteous and nice. If we can't be really accessible, then we're not doing our job."
"When you’re busy, you need to be able to
in the flat roll-o-dex and go." Hoggard said.
Davis and Vernon said they thought state institutions should be used only as a hast resort for violators of juvenile penal codes. Community based halfway homes are more appropriate than single through their problems and in getting them back into the community, they said.
"It's so much more meaningful when someone calls in with a question about enrolment, and you can say, 'Well, I just went through,' Hoggard said. "It's very satisfying work, because it's instantly gratifying."
One must be a student to work at the center.
Local approach used by juvenile officers
Although the majority of the center's questions concern factual information such as building hours and show times, oc- cerations about bizarre rivals come in.
"Quite often, they provide comic relief,"
Increased contact with young people and a local halfway house are ways to reduce juvenile delinquency. Bob Davis, probation officer, said the Office of Juvenile Services, said Friday.

Davis and Vernon said they hoped meeting the young people in this way would make their office seem less remote and would encourage young people to come in if they had any problem they would like to discuss.
Lawrence has two such homes, one for boys and another for girls, Davis said, but they were designed primarily for children up to age 15. Older offenders are usually
Rather than send anyone away, Davis and his two colleagues, Larry Vernon and Jane Kreps, have initiated programs aimed at helping young person's troubles before they start.
"This is a people job," Davis said. "There's been a lot of bad information about Juvenile Services. We're faced with the drama of being the people who send you away."
Several times each week, someone from Juvenile Services goes to the local junior high schools and Lawrence High School to get acquainted with the young people and to help school administrators in any way possible, Davis said.
Juvenile services activities range from teaching students their legal rights and the process of the court system to individual counseling. Davis said.
housed in the city jail when no alternative can be found, he said.
the At Achievement Place homes the child is in an environment that more closely resembles a family than an institution. There are two house parents who work with the children to help them cope with their problems. The homes are run on a farm, so they receive points for the work they do and gain or lose privileges on that basis.
Achievement Place Inc., the non-profit organization which runs the two homes, has tentative plans for a third home for young people up to age 18.
Jon Tigner, who is presently running the boys' Achievement Place with his wife, Drenda, said no date had been set for opening the third home because of insufficient funds and a lack of trained people to operate it.
The children are permitted to go home on the weekends and check out on week days, provided they can be reached where they live. Parents must be evaluated by their parents and teachers.
Davis predicted there would be little support for the third home because the new county judicial building would have five cells to handle juvenile offenders.
Vernon, who is also the legal adviser for Juvenile Services, said that there was still much that should be changed in dealing with juvenile offenders and that some of the change should come from the state legislature.
State Rep. Mike Glover, D-Lawrence, a member of that committee, agreed with Davis and Vernon that more local programs should be established for youthful offenders. He said the state should help fund them.
"The whole record of state institutions shows the chanches are great that once a kid is placed in one he or she will return more than once." Glover said.
Nonetheless, the center is equipped to field all sorts of abnormal queries.
For example, Hoggard said, if someone calls in wanting to know how to cook a roast or boil an egg, receptionists can refer to the "Joy of Cooking" cookbook.
Hoggard said, "although we don't really encourage those kinds of questions."
The center has an almanac, a zip code
external access card on manual on
writing files and assignments.
The center also has "Hoye Up To Date," the card used for last night nails from card players.
"Usually it's someone who says, 'I've got a straight flush and my buddy's got four-of-a-kind,' " Hoggard said, and they want the information center to say which hand beats his.
The center also has a road atlas, which is used when "someone wants to know the distance between here and Peoria or the best route somewhere." Howard said
Frequently, the center is used to settle disagreements or bets.
Once, two men called from New Jersey, saying they had a bet going about whether John Hadl and Gale Sayers ever played in the same backfield. As it turned out, the two players were a year apart, never played together in the same backfield, but played together when taking one summer practice. The question then for the center was 'Who won the bet?'
Another frequent bet concerns the naming of the seven dwarfs.
"There's one people always forget— Sleepy," Hoggard said.
If someone calls in at night with a stumper of a question, and all possible sources have closed down under for the evening, the question is written down under a section on the bulletin board labeled, "What questions do people come in the next morning must then trick up answer and call the person back, if the question can wait.
In addition to answering perfunctory, ordinary calls, which Hoggard said composed the majority of the center's questions, information center also handles crisis calls.
"If it's a crisis call, we will take the other lines off the hook, but that happens very infrequently," Hoggard said. We're not really set up to be a crisis center."
When women call in with problem pregnancy or rage victim support calls, the center has a problem pregnancy network to call. This network is comprised of people knowledgeable on birth control, abortion and pregnancy counseling.
With a problem pregnancy, the caller is asked to hold the line while the person at the information center locates someone in the network who can talk to her. With rape victims, the caller goes to see the rape victim immediately, or calls the victim on the telephone.
For other crisis calls, the center uses the resources of two people from the Psychology department, usually a graduate student and all of the other work in the University Counseling Center.
Receptionists at the center keep
tabulation of the number, time and types of phone calls they receive. Hoeard said.
These figures are tabulated for each month, to see what areas need work
"The system is changing all the time," she said.
Very few information centers exist at other universities, she said, and the ones that do exist grew from rumor control centers.
"Many of them died on the vine, because they didn't change with the time," Hogard said. "We started out as a very radical situation, and we had to change to survive."
Hoggard said the Information Center was responsible to the Office of Student Affairs,
"D. Balrour is very supportive of us. He
takes care of the people and just 'hang out'
here," she said.
William Balfour is vice chancellor for student affairs.
Hoggard said the center received very few obscene phone calls.
"I think that has to do with the staff we have," she said. "They can take the initiative to do things. When they're on the phone, they know they're the information center."
She also attributed the center's success to the anonymity of the service, which never wavered. (See "The Center.")
Hoggard said she told the babysitter to return to the house, and she would handle the situation by getting in touch with Mrs. Fambrough at the stadium.
Hoggard recalled an instance on a Saturday afternoon during the fall one year, when Coach Dan Fambrigha's baby sister came and locked herself out of Fambrigha's house.
"That's the kind of thing that's really rewarding to do," she said.
The center publishes both the Student Handbook and the People's Yellow Pages. "No one is in a better position to do so," he said.
The handbook is mailed to all new students and distributed at previews and duels.
Transcendental Meditation Brain Wave Synchrony
Transcendental meditation synchronizes electrical waves in the left hand, bringing about concordance of these movements with findings of increased intelligence, increased learning ability, and in some cases, may be interpreted as implying functional integration of the analytically oriented hemisphere with the synthetic and spatial skills of the right hemisphere coordination of mind and body.
