Mayors want no defense cut with urban aid
University Daily Kansan
BOSTON (AP) — The nation's big-city mayors called yesterday for passage of three urban aid bills that would give states and cities $1.25 billion a year, in but a major victory for Republicans, refused to ask that they be financed by defense cuts.
In a second major triumph for Ford administration forces, the U.S. Conference of Democratic mayors met here and also rejected a bid by Democratic mayors from older and poorer cities to seek a greater share of federal revenue-sharing money for the neediest
In an unprecedented show of power, Republicans controlled all the major votes in one of the most heavily Democratic lobbying organizations in America. Their leader, Mayor Ralph Perk of Cleveland, said he had personally called 22 mayors Tuesday night in a last-minute lobbying blitz.

Less wheat, bread for Endowment Assn.
As far as the University of Kansas is concerned, the just completed wheat harvest was disappointing. Martin Henry, a spokesman for the Endowment Association, said yesterday.
The endowment association owns about 34,000 acres of farmland, much of which is in the wheat growing areas of southwestern Kansas. The land is rented to farmers who turn over a set percentage of the crop payment to the endowment association.
"Our current estimate is that we will have fewer bushels of wheat this year than last." Henry said. "And we don't expect to get as good a price as last year."
In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1974, the endowment association had a new farm income of $495,410.02, according to the KU Endowment Digest.
Henry said that his estimate was
nearly right. He said he wouldn't
be available for several weeks.
The crop suffered from the "normal rash of bugs and worms and mossic disease," Henry said, and from hull in some areas and wet June weather in other areas. Dry weather from fall planting until early spring from fall planting in the southwest corner of the state.
The price of wheat has generally fallen since last winter, although rumors of new Russian grain purchases have given the market some strength since Monday. Henry farmers association, like many farmers, would hold its wheat in hopes of higher prices.
The endowment association has an agricultural policy committee that will meet later in the summer to formulate this year's marketing policy, Henry said.

The earliest realistic date for the completion of the faculty handbook, to satisfy both administration and University governance, will be in late October, Gerhard Zuber, professor of English, said at the Senex meeting yesterday.
The handbook, a general guide for teaching, will be in a looseleaf notebook with entries heavily indexed but not in alphabetical order, he said.

Small substitutions can be added later and as much general information as possible will be removed and placed in two columns of comments, one for each campus. Zuber said.
Senex members also discussed a document on the appointment and tenure of department chairmen. They discussed general recommendations to be made in a letter to the Faculty Rights, Responsibilities and Privileges Committee.
Zuther mentioned a letter from a member of the American Association of University Professors which strongly urged that the handbook not be published as official policy unless the faculty had participated in determining its contents.
Proposals sent about upgrade of rural roads
Letters requesting proposals for projects to upgrade county roads are being sent to Douglas County's townships and smaller towns this week, Douglas County Public Works Director Dean Sanderson said yesterday.
Sanderson said he received word this week that Douglas County had been allotted $42,598 in a $4.9 million federal program for new construction on rural roads off of the river. The program matches every 30 cents of local money with 70 cents of federal money.
Each of Douglas County's nine townships and three cities of fewer than 5,000 is being given an opportunity to apply for some of the services of local importance. Sanderson said.
In order to receive the money each local unit would have to be able to finance the preliminary survey and engineering, 30 per cent of the construction and all of the state inspection (10 per cent of the construction cost) when the project is complete.
Sanderson said most Douglas County townships and small cities probably had a few old homes.
If the townships can't finance enough construction to use all of the funds, the county will use the money on projects of its choice. Sanderson said a $40,000 bridge is needed in location in the southwestern corner of the county in case there is money left over.
Deadline for the townships' applications is Aug. 1, he said.
John McAulay, assistant Kansas highway director, said counties must report whether they intend to participate in the program by the end of August.
City musicians to play music by Americans
Valuable Coupon
Twentieth century composers whose music will be played are Wallingford Riegger, Virgil Thomson, Walter Piston and Charles Griffes.
The Lawrence Society for Chamber Music is presenting the concert to complement the University Theatre's "Landmarks in American Theatre" festival and the Museum of Art's American Regionalist exhibit.
Scott Joplin and Louis Moureau Gottschalk are two composers whose works will be presented in the concert "Music of American Composers," which will be given Sunday at 3 p.m. by the Lawrence Chamber Players at the Museum of Art.
The concert will be conducted by George
associate professor of wind and percussion.
The concert will close with "Music of the American Revolution," arranged by Henry Cerami.
Arthur Breipohl, professor of electrical engineering, said he thought it was important that department chairman appointments be made for a specified term, and that they be evaluated at the end of the term.
Robert Casad, professor of law, said he thought six year periods of appointment were too long, and suggested less detailed annual reviews of administrators.
Frances Horowitz, professor of human development, said reviews were done.
Zuther said administrators could always be reviewed before the end of their terms.
Brevipole said he thought it was particularly relevant in professional schools that in reviewing deeds the opinions of the attorneys he dealt with would be considered. He said he didn't think it was fair to ask for money from the professional constituency and then not listen to them.
Senex members approved responsibilities for the Senate Libraries Committee. This was the last set of duties for University committees handled by Senex this summer.
Howitz said if a school had a dean who couldn't get along with the people in the state, the school's ability to function was impaired.
Members will review sets of duties during the next week that they individually wrote, compare them with committee reports submitted in the spring and make note of other suggestions to give to the organization and Administration committee.
Zuther and Adrienne Hyle, Manhattan graduate student, reported their meeting with Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor. At the meeting, Shankel was asked to review the PERB hearings, concerning the determination of a unit within the university to would work for the union of people working for the University to be formed.
Zuther said that Shankel thought the administration defended its position well against the engineering school's argument that it should not be part of the unit.
Hyle said that if a union were formed, salaries would be set by the union and members of the union would have certain duties to the union, such as paying dues.
LETTER
To the Kansan Editor:
Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's decoration of a national state of emergency and subsequent arrest of opposition political leaders came as no surprise to me as a member of the Ananda Marga society here. Our leader in India has been under detention for more than a decade and members there have faced government harassment since the late 1980s.
Mrs. Gandhi's recent actions are not new. She has often resorted to harsh methods to control the crowds of over 8,000 railroad union officials arrested to break the back of a national railway strike. She has employed similar tactics to the ones used by the Ananda Marga society in India.
Ananda Marga is an international sociospiritual organization. Meditation is instructed, and projects actively involved in promoting social change are in progress. Ananda Marga in India has been vocal in its denunciation of government corruption and mismanagement. The government has also been by harassing Ananda Marga workers.
The most blatant example of harassment came in 1971 when Shri Shril Amandamuri, leader of Ananda Marga, was arrested in Bihar state. The government charged him with conspiracy to commit homicide in connection with the deaths of former members of the Marga charge of murder. The government had trumped up charges against him in order to defame and disrupt the organization.
Since then Anandamarty has been held in a Bharar jail. He has to get receive a trial. He has been fasting for an incredible 202 days and is now in his treatment of himself and his followers.
I as well as other Ananda Marga members in North America have repeatedly protested this mistreatment. We have received the support of over 100 members of the U.S. Congress and the Canadian Parliament.
Yet the Indian government has neglected these pleas for justice and those of interested international human rights groups like Amnesty International.
