India expels newsmen
NEW DELHI—The Indian government ordered the expulsion of three foreign diplomats from India to sign pledges saying they would abide by compliance imposed under the country's constitution.
Those given 24 hours to leave the country were Peter Hazelhurst of the London Times, Peter Gill of the London Daily Telegraph and Loren Jenkins of Newsweek. The expulsions came a day after the government began asking the more than 50 foreign newsmen in New Delhi to sign the censorship pledges.
Officials said the government decided to require the signed pledges because of widescreen violations of the censorship regulations.
Aid to Turkey protested
WASHINGTON—About 15,000 Greek Americans gathered at the U.S. Capitol to protest a military rescue aid to Turkey.
Speakers urged that a ban on military aid to Turkey, imposed following the Greece-Turkey clash over Cyprus, remain in effect. Yesterday was the first an-
In May the Senate approved restoration of arms aid to Turkey and the House is expected to vote on the measure this week.
"There are many members of Congress who bear their hearts with you," Rep. Gladys Spellman, D-Md., told the crowd. "No number of breakfast meetings at the White House and no number of greetings by the secretary of state can change our winds about what is right."
The rally, organized by the Pan Hellenic Emergency Committee, attracted participants from more than 40 states and Canada, organizers said.
Help for railroads possible
WASHINGTON-The Ford administration will support the reorganization of financially alling Northeastern railroads only if the government is allowed to sell the new system to private railroads later, Transportation Secretary William T. Coleman Jr. savs.
"We are not going to let Con-Rail (the corporation that would run the restructured rail system) be set up as an independent corporation not under the control of the government but having the right to call upon the government for billions of dollars." Coleman said in an interview.
The U.S. Railway Association, the government agency established to restructure the Northeastern railroads, will submit its final system plan to Congress on

Coast Guard cutters were trying to circle the oil slick late yesterday. Walker could easily reports the spill from about 200 yards to mile wide.
Walker said the spill was first reported yesterday morning by skin divers off Key West, who complied of thick, sticky oil globules.

Women knife rape suspect
DAYTONA BEACH—Six women, described by authorities as " vigilantes," arrested and accused rapist before he could be arrested. Davytona Beach police said.
John Dotson, the victim, was reported in satisfactory condition at a local hospital after being placed under police guard. He was charged with sexual bat-
Dotson was working in his front yard about 2 p.m. Friday when six women attacked him, slashing his knees. He suffered wounds in the stomach,
Officers were going to Dotson's home to arrest him when the attack occurred. A Daytona Beach woman wilted a constrictor two hours earlier naming Dotson as the assailant.
"It appears to be an action carried out by women vigilantes—they took things into their own hands," Sgt. Robert Sharp said.
County welfare office gets permission to fill vacancy
The Douglas County Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS) has been permitted to hire one employee to fill a vacancy in its income maintenance unit.
SRS hadn't been able to hire anyone to fill the position for three months because of Gov. Robert F. Bennett's freeze on hiring civil servants.
Barbara Gaines, supervisor of the income maintenance unit, said last week that the new employee would be put to work immediately on processing applications for welfare.
Gaines said the governor's office was notified a month ago that the department had another vacancy in its services unit. SRS hasn't received a reply, she said.
It is extremely important that the

required by federal law to conduct a youth service program, it was illegal for the government to do so.
"We can't afford to waste the time calling the governor's office and then waiting for a reply," she said. "I really think that we've written Topeka enough that there is an outside chance they'll let us hire imames, our people resign. But nothing is certain."
Gaines said the department was keeping up with welfare applications better now. "We're doing that and we're going forward," he said.
Winn sponsors prairie park bill
"We've gotten out of the rut," she said, but we still need to fill the positions that manned the mine.
Among the sponsors were Rep. James Symington and P-Mo., and a large number of others.
The bill differs from other bills he has sponsored on the proposed Prairie National Park, Winn said. It eliminates reference to the 60,000 acres which has been proposed.
Under the terms of the present bill, the size of the park is up to the National Park.
said it appeared Winn had ignored opposition to the National Park Legislature. It also planned a national park.
Whittaker said a resolution passed by the Kansas House and Senate asked Congress not to establish a Prairie National Park unless it did so on federally owned lands. It was approved by large majorities in both houses of the Kansas Legislature, he said.
State Rep. Robert Whittaker, R-Augusta,
"By any definition, that was an overwhelming vote by the people of Kansas through their elected representatives and senators that we did not want a 60,000 acre area removed from the tax rolls," Whitaker said.
Group fighting ERA rescission
Efforts by state legislators to rescind Kansas' ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment probably will continue, Carol Winslow, a Democrat Women's Political Caucus, said Saturday.

House Concurrent Resolution 2009 called for reservation of the ratification measure. It was sponsored by Rep. Ted Lindsahl, R-Plevna, would place the question "Should the Kansas legislature resign its ratification of this amendment?" on the 176 general election ballot.
Two resolutions regarding the status of the ERA in Kansas were brought before legislative committees in the most recent session.
She said proponents of the ERA were against Lindahl's resolution because it would result in an expensive, time-consuming campaign that would keep women from participating in the campaigns of local, state and national candidates.
The referendum resolution wasn't acted
McDowell said the votes of individual legislators on rescission, should the referendum results call for it, would depend on the vote in their home districts.
The result of the referendum wouldn't be binding, McDowell said. Legislators wouldn't be bound to rescind if the referendum called for it nor would they ignore rescission legislation if the referendum results were against it.
As long as states keep defending the ERA and others vote to rescind it, the possibility exists that Kansas legislators might rescind their 1972 ratification. McDowell said.
She said it was important to the status of the FRA in states like Missouri and Illinois that a bill be passed.
sorry they ratified the amendment because of their unfavorable publicity it has recently
The constitutionality of rescission by state legislators of their ratifications hasn't been ruled on by the courts, Deanell Tacha, associate professor of law, said.
Missouri and Illinois both defeated the Era in the past legislative sessions after the 1974 midterm.
The Supreme Court might rule that rescission is unconstitutional, and the states that have rescinded ratification will be counted as having ratified it, she said.
No pending cases concerning rescission ase on the Supreme Court docket, Tacha se
McDowell said it would be hard to predict the outcome of a statewide referendum on the amendment.
A November 1974 Gallup Poll indicated that 80 per cent of all Americans supported

Ideas on fantasies only fantasies

COMMENT
Lowers of gouls and demons met

Bloch's brief talk skimmed the subject of the science fiction and fantasy film. While it was not a sequel, it did offer some insight.
ment to such a broad topic. Bloch's lack of
frasping for ways to tie the subject
together
Broad statements abounded: "Impressionism is the anthesis of science fiction," "All films are fantasy," "Film offers a larger than life-size image." The director is a telling it to it is," and "The secret of classic films lies in their symbolism."
But throughout Bloch's talk, a clear understanding of what science fiction and fantasy are was lacking. If, as Bloch suggests, all films are fantasy, one can't distinguish between the fantasy of "Hearts and Minds" and that of "2001."
Reader criticizes Rolfs
I find it highly amusing that the commission would publish such research, especially since Mr. Rolfs has stated that the publication has been overemphasized."
If one assumes that the results of the Commission on the Quality of Classroom Instruction will be made available in some manner, then one must assume that those results will be published in one form or another.
I have noted that Bruce Woner and Dave Shapiro are being paid to do research on the improvement of classroom teaching. The results of their research will undoubtedly be incorporated into the final report of the commission.
We should recognize that a university cannot exist without communication and dissemination of information. After all, that is the main function of an institution of higher education. We are merely two different forms of communication. An instructor communicates with students by teaching in the classroom; he communicates with his colleagues via telephone or by e-mail to draw an artificial boundary between teaching and research, and it is even more
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the Kansan editor:
presumptuous to distinguish between research for teaching and research for publication. In essence, Mr. Rolfs is telling me to communicate more with students and teachers.
I really wonder if the commission realizes how an instructor prepares a lecture. or how do they think textbooks are written? One does not just draw a lecture or a chapter for a textbook out of thin air. He must spend a great deal of time gathering information from the published works of others, drawing pictures, writing a few letters to some friends to inquire about data which might not yet be in print.
Teaching and research are synergistic at a university. The way to improve teaching isn't to deemphasize research. I suspect my approach would have the opposite effect.
I have long suspected that the commission has been chasing its own tail, and apparently it has succeeded in catching it. I do not know why this should be known where one's head will next be found.

City to open Kaw bridge bids
The city may be able to open bidding on construction of the proposed two-swan Kaw River bridge at 6th and Massachusetts counties. Mayor, Mayor Barkley Clark said last week.
They were also concerned with expediting Congressional appropriation of funds for the Clinton Parkway project, which will extend the border of Iowa. Street to the new Clinton Lake.
After the Washington trip, city and county officials made a trip to the regional Coast Guard officers in St. Louis where they presented their proposal and again urged Coast Guard officials to permit the bridge to be built without an environmental impact study.
The opening of construction bids was delayed in June by a 45-day review period required by the U.S. Coast Guard to determine whether the bridge's enclosure of 1,700 feet of Robinson Park on the Kaw River banks would have any environmental impact. Mike Wilden, assistant city manager, said last week.
to lobby against an extended federal environmental impact study that could have delayed the bridge construction by 18 months.
Although the Coast Guard hasn't received criticism of the project from agencies or officials, its regional office has said that it has some questions of its own to ask city and county officials. However, the Coast Guard requested the study and probably won't, Wilden said.
When it was discovered in May that the Vermont Street span of the bridge would cut off 1,700 feet of the park, Clark, City Manager Buford Watson, City Commissioner Donald Binns, County Commissioners Art Heck and Pearle Whiteenhit and Lawrence Chamber of Commerce member Charles Fisher went to Washington
U. S. Coast Guard officials in the regional St. Louis office sent copies of the bridge proposal to all federal state and local agencies involved in the project. These agencies and selected fictions all over the United States were asked to comment on its potential environmental effects.
"The Vermont Street span will be built first," he said. "That should take about 18 months to complete. Then we'll start on the second." He continued, "that another 18 months of construction."
If the study isn't demanded, the city should be able to open bidding on the project.
Bloch emphasized that teachers of science fiction writing should instill in their students a respect for the workings of the imagination.
"Anything that stimulates the constructive imagination is important." Bloch saws.

He has a strong interest in and hopes to include all organizations in the state that have said they supported its ratification.
McDowell said the group wanted action from organizations like the previously said company to help with the issue.
Kala Stroup, dean of women, is in charge of literature for Kansans for ERA.
Today's writers and film viewers are more sophisticated because of the inspiration provided by television and film, he said.
Bloch suggested that some old films, such as "Frankenstein," "Dracula" and "King Kong," have remained典籍 because of their timeless symbolic references. But one might wonder whether today's drag movies were underperformed or terrapeted that the pale, slow-moving Dracula is a symbolic member of today's drug culture.

For example, Bloch said of Dracula, "He was dead for a hundred years but he had
Bloch began writing in the 1930s and became known as a member of the H. P. Lovecraft circle of writers. After writing his first book, *The Wormwood* moved from Milwaukee to Hollywood because of the success of "Psycho," which was filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1960. He became a screenwriter and two years ago wrote the Mystery Writers of America.
Bloch said the two greatest problems in making science fiction and fantasy films for motion pictures or television were lack of time and money. There is no lack of imagination in film-making, he said, but it was never as difficult as no longer feasible because of their cost.
Children's show asks crowd to participate
The audience sits on the floor, separated from the stage by only a masking-tape circle. A low white stool and a blue and a white shirt with a make-believe "mirror" are the set.
"Listen, listen everybody!" are the first words, spoken directly to the audience, who are such an integral part of the play that they must be present at trees rehearsals.
The author, Brian Way, is a British playwright who specializes in creative children's drama. He has written several other plays including, "The Clown," "The Dog and the Stone," "The Ladder" and "The Key."
Creative, or participation, dramatics requires audience participation in the action of the play, Blair said. The artificiality of a play disappears, she said, when the audience of children speak to and influence the actions of the characters.
Thus begins "Mirror Man", a play for 5- to 8-year-old children that will be presented at 2:30 p.m. today through Thursday at the Mural Inge Memorial Theater in Murphy Hall.
The doll, named Beauty is played by Roberta Brown, Centerville senior. She requires a resounding "oof-plank" to the audience for her to be able to sit down, a "plank-oof" to stand up, and a series of "pom-poms" to walk across the room.
It is being done as one of the master's degree requirements for its director, Rhonda Blair, Warren, Mich., graduate student and in conjunction with a drama class taught by Jed Davis, professor of speech and drama.
The fairy-tale plot of "Mirror Man" involves a toymaster, played by Dgo Ghebe, Lawrence graduate student, who makes a walk and talk with help from the audience.
It seems that a nasty witch, played by Danielle Fowler, was trying to steal his magic of magic.
The toymaker's reflection, or mirror man, played by David Shestak, Maryville, Mo., graduate student, comes from behind the room to the room to help the toymaker.
The audience helps to defeat the witch by hiding the magic book and by telling the toymaker and the mirror man about a spell they were out of the room. Beauty while they were out of the room.
