Ford announces candidacy
WASHINGTON—President Ford, pledging never to neglect his official duties and praising "an open and aboveboard campaign," officially announced Monday that he would be stepping down.
Ford's long-promised announcement came in low-key fashion and in a setting calculated to portray him as incumbent President rather than just another office seeker. He read his statement while he was seated behind his desk in the Oval Office.
House passes Navy oil bill
WASHINGTON—The House passed a bill that would give the Interior Department control of oil production from the nation's naval petroleum reserves for the first time since the Teapot Dome scandals of the 1920s.
The House approved the bill by a vote of 391 to 20. It would allow an unlimited amount of oil to pump from the river falls, Calif., reserve, the most important source of crude oil in the state.
The bill now goes to the Senate, where similar legislation has been introduced by Sen. Mark Hatfield, R-Ore.
3 refugee camps may close
HARRISBURG, Pa.—Three of four camps set up in the United States for relocation of native refugees may be closed by this winter, a federal govern-
Only FT Chaffee, Ark., will be kept open through the winter, said Eleanor Green, spokesman for the federal Interagency Task Force on Indochina refugees. Those centers to be closed are FT Indianotown Gap, Pa., Camp Pendleton, Calif., and Folin Air Force Base, Fla.
The task force has been releasing about 715 refugees daily from the four camps. The refugees either have sponsors or enough money to set out on their own. If the release rate holds up, it would mean all refugees, including those still at camps in the Pacific, could be relocated by the end of October.
Plans to move an Indian training center at Brigham City, Utah, to Kansas to be under the control of Haskell Indian Junior College have been dropped and aren't likely to be revived. Clemmon Socke, director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, said yesterday.
Haskell denied training center
For the past year it had been assumed that the National Indian Training Center, which is at the Intermountain Indian Boarding School at Brigham City, would have been settled or it would be left where it is and brought under control of Haskell administrators.
However, neither option was taken by the BIA.
"It has been determined, in accordance with tribal needs, that the program should stay in Utah and under local control," he said.
The training center is used to train federal employees and Indians in such areas as organizing tribal governments and businesses and personnel management.
Lewis set free by court appeal
Steven Lewis, former assistant professor of social welfare, entered Douglas County Jail yesterday morning as he was instructed to do after being found guilty of battery in District Court last month.
Lewis posted a $500 bond.
Lewis was released in the afternoon, however, after Wesley M. Norwood, his attorney, filed a notice of appeal to the Kansas Supreme Court.
Prof's film examines prison life
By BRAD JONES
For years, penal reform and rehabilitation have been misunderstood by most people. Jacob Godon, associate professor of African studies, said yesterday.
Gordon, through the production of a 30-minute film, hopes to bridge the gap of
The film was made possible by a grant of $13,815 from the Kansas Committee on Humanities (KCH), a sister organization to the Humanities Guild Endowment for the Humanities.
"We wish to show the programs that the prison offers, the characteristics of the prison environment, and the needs of the inmates."
Gordon got the idea for the film four years ago as a volunteer instructor at the Kansas State Prison at Lansing, where the filming team was involved. It is to show prison life as it really is, he said.
County speeds shift of records
Under home rule authority, the commissioners can take actions not specifically provided for under state statutes by passing an ordinary resolution. They have used a similar resolution to establish a levy for the county bicentennial commission.
State law provides for transfer of only microfilmed copies of original documents. The law allows destruction of original documents if they are more than 20 years old, but says nothing about transferring them.
Douglas County commissioners are using home rule authority to transfer some county records from the courthouse to Spencer Research Library.
Because the county is interested in transferring the original documents themselves, home rule authority must be used.
viewpoint of the administrators." Gordon said. "But most of all, we want to show the teachers how it works."
Gordon said there was a critical need for the film, which shows the actual conditions of the prison and the problems that exist in it. He also argued for a reformed life once they are released.
Gordon estimated that 90 per cent of all ex-offenders released in Kansas stay in the state. But very few can get a satisfactory education, either on their own, or in some cases, their families.
"Some offenders go into prison with a great deal of training in whatever occupation they held before they got caught," he said. "We don't know if they can't get jobs that require state licenses. For example, an auto mechanic who gets put in jail for stealing cannot, when released, return to his mechanic's job because he has a state certificate of qualification."
In contrast, Gordon said, there were problems involved in vocational training in the school.
"I spoke to one inmate who had, for 40 years, made his living by stealing," Gordon
Gordon said the man had worked a total of one month during his life. When he was confronted with the idea of being released, he lost it. He didn't know what he would do.
"We have two alternatives in dealing with the present penal system," Gordon said. "Either we should just kill them and say, 'That's the end of our problem,' or we should try to work with them as human beings."
Gordon said administrators were aware of the deficiencies of penal rehabilitation programs and of the poor atmosphere in prisons. He said he thought, however, that a new approach in hands tied by governmental red tape to improve rehabilitation programs.
In the film, Gordon is assisted in the interviews by three KU professors: William M. Baldwin, David R. Larsen, and
After its release in September, the film will be sent to all television stations that request it, Gordon said. It will also be available to business and social groups.

Three profs named to education council
Three members of the School of Education faculty have been named to a newly formed State Advisory Council for Science Elementary and Secondary Education Art.
The three are: William La Shier,
associate professor of curriculum and instruction; Robert Michal, associate
professor of counseling; and Edward Meyen, chairman of the department of
special education.
Title IV is a consolidation of several federal education programs that provide money for library and media resources, equipment, guidance-testing programs and programs for improving the state department of education.
The council comprises 21 Kanners who will advise the State Board of Education on matters of education.
Two other new members of the council are Ovrel Criqui, principal of South Junior High School in Lawrence, and Carmen Diaz, principal of Guadalupe School in Tokea.

Shockley, 65, professor of engineering and applied science at Stanford University, was a co-winner of the Nobel Prize in physics in 1956 for the invention of the transistor. Recently his theories about genetics have stirred controversy.
He states that black people's conceptual intelligence, determined by IQ tests, is markedly lower than white people's, and that to an extent, the discrepancy is genetic. If a person who is not paid to those with less than average QS who submit to voluntary sterilization.

Capote and Shockley to speak here in fall
CORRECTION
Author Truman C萨姆 and Nobel Prize winner William Shockley have been scheduled by the SUA Forum to make appearances at the University of Kansas next fall, Mike Miller, SUA activities adviser, said yesterday.
Capote will speak October 21 in Hoch Auditorium on "The Writer's Life," Miller said. The program will be a lecture and perhaps a dramatic reading and a recounting of some of Capote's anecdotes, he said.
By BILL KATS
Shockley will participate in a debate with Richard Goldschmidt, geneticist and KU graduate, on the question of "A Superior Race" on November 13 at 8 p.m. The location of the debate hasn't yet been determined, Miller said.
Capote, 50, wrote such works as "Other Voices, Other Rooms," "In Cold Blood" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's." He received the O. Henry Memorial Award for short stories in 1946 and the National Institute of Arts and Letters' Creative Writing Award in 1959.
"We do not believe the energy received is worth the risk or expense," Nolan said. "We therefore oppose the construction of a nuclear plant in Kansas."
The possibility of a meltdown, although scars, scare the people who gathered near her house.
The emergency system has never been tested on a large reactor, but a series of six small scale tests were performed recently in Nevada. The system failed in all six tests.

Oposition was written in the worry lines burned on an old farmer's craggy visage. It shone through a young mother's luminous cheeks as she smiled on her infant.
Even the children caught the somber attitude, the feeling of dread. They didn't quite understand what was going on, but they understood enough about unseen threats. The children were speaking of death. The children wore faces they might have worn at a wake.
The creased forehead and bristling eyebrows of a young radical from the city bespoke both his opposition to nuclear power and his frustration at being unable to
Without a cooling system, the temperature inside the reactor gets astronomically high and the nuclear fuel fuses into one lump, melts through the bottom of the reactor and releases radioactive particles.
Nolan said solar power was the long term solution to the country's energy problem, and conservation would have to do in the meantime.
Then came helium-filled balloons, and the children could contain their exuberance on

There has never been a meltdown at any large reactor in the United States, but the possibility exists. Experts can't agree on how large possible is.
The Atomic Energy Commission estimated that a major accident could cause 45,000 deaths, 100,000 injuries, $17 million in contamination of hundreds of square rules.
Any reactor's last defense against a meltdown is the Emergency Core Cooling System. In theory, if a reactor's normal core is overheated, it could cause an emergency system would flood the reactor

The balloons were a symbol for about 70 people who gathered at the John Redmond Reservoir to protest efforts to build a new dam that would cover three miles from where they were standing.
Attached to each balloon was a card saying that the flight of the balloon represented the flight of radioactive particles. If disaster ever struck the propelled plant.

Kay Nolan, league president, said that if the Burlington reactor malfunctioned during a temperature inversion like last week's, the radioactive fallout could be in a small area and could be concentrated enough to kill everything in the area.
"In the event of a reactor core meltdown, you would be contaminated by radiation," the card says.
The cards asked their finders to mail them to the Kansas League Against Nuclear Dangers, a coalition of nuclear protest groups based in Osage, Woodson and Anderson counties, with headquarters in Westphalia.
