Mozambique gains autonomy
LUORENCN MARQUES, Mazambique—the East African territory of Mozambique because nation yesterday at midnight after nearly forty-five hours of Portuguese colonial rule.
Mozambique, the 43rd independent state in Africa since colonial flags first began to fall, will be officially known as the People's Republic of Mozambique, reflecting its strong national identity.
Samara Moises Machel, the 41-year-old revolutionary leader of this nation of 8½ million, will be sworn in as president today.
Machel fought a 10-year guerrilla war against Portuguese colonial forces. On Montserrat, the triumphant retaliation brought Marques, where he was tied by tens of the indigenous Africans.
New harvester developed
KANSA'S CITY, Mo.—Development of a new type of agricultural combine was announced in Kansas City.
The combine uses centrifugal force to lift grain out of the straw rather than shaking it loose by impact.
The combine was developed by Sperry New Holland, a farm equipment division of the Sonoma, Bard Corporation
Company officials said the patented design would reduce grain damage during harvest and increase the speed of harvesting.
Kenneth F. Thompson, president of the New Holland, Pa., company, said the device was "as different from the conventional combine as the jet plane is from the aircraft."
Gandhi to rule during appeal
NEW DELHI—Prime Minister Indira Gandhi won approval from the Supreme Court to remain in Indian government while appealing her conviction against her legal practices.
However, Justice V. R. Krishna Iyer barred the prime minister from voting in Parliament during the appeal.
Iyer, who was appointed to the high court on the recommendation of the Gandhi government in 1973, ruled that during the appeal, which is expected to last at least two months, Gandhi could only participate in parliamentary debate as head of the government.
Britain-Uganda row worsens
NAIROBI, Kenya – Britain considered the rescue of 708 Britons living in Uganda with a potential death risk. Hil Amint intensified over his threatened execution by British teacher Sean O'Donnell.
Reports from London and Kampala, the Ugandan capital, said the missionaries, missioners, teachers and technicians who form the dwelling British community have reported that over 10,000 people are living in the city.
On Monday, Amin said, "The 70 British citizens in Uganda are now in jepaye. Your missionaries, your schoolteachers, your professional people, we regard them with great respect."
Viet doctors in great demand
FT. CHAFFEE, Dr. -Ekrills to relocate Vietnam refugees doctors in a U.S. department official, said he have "almost mass hysteria," a U.S. labor Department official.
**people think all they have to do is give us a call and a doctor will be on the next plane, said William D. Chney, coordinator of a Doctor's office relocation**
About 170 refugees at Chaffee have identified themselves as doctors, he said.
Cheyne said when the Labor Department took over the doctor relocation program Friday he found the refuge files incomplete. The files contained very little background and no list of state-by-state requirements that physicians will have to meet.
Philll strike stops presses
PHILADELPIHA--Philadelphia was briefly without a daily newspaper because pressman refused to publish the Evening Bulletin.
The Bulletin now carries the nameplates of its two strikebound competitors, in addition to its own nameplate, at the top of its front base.
William L. McLean, publisher of the Bulletin, said in a front-page note to readers that the three名plateases were used because mailers had refused to obey a court injunction ordering them to return to work at the Inquirer and Daily News, the Bulletin's competitors. The strike, by 270 mailers, was in its fifth day.
The pressmen at the Bulletin, however, stopped publication, saying they would not run the competitors' logotypes.
A statement of alleged discrimination in state employment was presented yesterday in Topeka to a Kansas legislative committee by Laurel Wilt of Affirmative Action.
By APRIL DIXON Kansan Staff Reporter
Wife presented a statement that 'died with alleged inequities in the state classified civil service and pay scale to the committee on Federal and State Affairs.
Affirmative Action alleges job discrimination
Wise, president of Classified Office and Clerical Workers Advisory Unit to the Affirmative Action Office, said yesterday that the report was based on statistics compiled from the May 1 payroll. She said the analysis included only a small sampling of employees and excluded classifications with equal numbers of men and women.
The statement said that "these classifications held predominantly by women require more education and more training than the classifications held predominantly by men."
Wise said she hoped to continue the study to include all classified employees at the
"What we are trying to show is that within classifications of the same pay range, women are required to have more education than men. Of course, this is, are discriminated against," Wise said.
University of Kansas. The study would eventually affect about 1200 people.
Wise said, that, for example, the predominantly male classification of Security Officer I required no previous education or experience. But the predominantly female classification of Clerk II, which had an equal salary, required a high school education and one to three years of experience.
Wise said that in the higher salary
research differences became even more
apparent.
She said the committee, headed by Sen. Neil Arasmith, R-Phrillips, also heard statements from members of the Kansas State University Office of Affirmative Action. Wise said that a report issued by the university represented the K-Sate office was basically similar to her own, and that the two offices had tried to work closely together.
City plans hearings on two Ling houses
The Lawrence City Commission last night rescinded two resolutions planning public hearings on July 29 for consideration of a proposed dawn station at 1301 Ohio St. and 1371 Tennessees St.
The properties are owned by Daniel Ling, associate professor of physics and chemist.
The commission rescinded the resolutions because before a property may be considered for demolition, it must first be inspected to ensure that it wasn't done in a previous public hearing.
On July 8 the commission is expected to pass a resolution setting a new public budget for the city.
The commission also held a public hearing and declared a property located at 821 Elm St. unsafe and dangerous. It also, with the assistance of another property located at 742 Missafe
George Williams, director of public works, said he had been unable to find the owner of the Elm St. property. A letter has been sent to him informing him of the commission's intent.
Mike Wildgen, assistant city manager,
said the city would wait 60 days before
taking any action on the property. After that
time has passed, the city can demolish
the property.
Williams said the property located at 742 Missouri had changed ownership so procedures against it would have to start over.
The present owner of the property had started to raze the structure, Williams said. The owner might not be ready whether the owner finished the job. Action on the property was deferred for one week.
Reorganization to affect state, local health planning
Better statewide health planning should result from a revamping of Kansas health service areas, Kay Kent, administrator of the Kansas County Health Department, said last week.
The revamping will begin Aug. 1.
A plan that divides the state into four health service regions, each to be governed by a health systems agency, was approved in 2014. The State Health, Education and Welfare last week.
Douglas County now is one of five counties in the Capital Area Health Planning Board, to be one of 22 northeast Kansas counties in new health systems agency for this region.
Kent said the new plan would provide money for regional and state health research and planning. This function is run by the department of housing planning councils, such as the Capital Area
Council, whose members frequently have full-time jobs.
Another difference, she said, is that the new regional agencies will control federal grants to local health agencies, whereas the state health department is controlled by the state Health Planning Council.
Kent said that she couldn't tell what it effected the new plan would have on local health.
"What it means to me at this point is that any grant money we will want to have to go through the health systems agency instead of the health planning councils," she said.
The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department has federal funding for family planning and maternal and child health services. About 60 per cent of the support of these services consists of the department comes from Douglas County and 40 per cent from Lawrence.
Saricks welcomes change in jobs
BYSTAN STENERSEN Kansan Staff Reporter
Sarickx, who will leave his position as vice chancellor for academic affairs on June 30 to return to full-time teaching in the department of history, talked yesterday about his experiences as vice chancellor. He said that although he had enjoyed many angles of the position, he welcomed the change back to teaching with considerable relief.
"Time," said Ambrose Saricks, tapping his finger on the desk. "There hasn't been any. It's only been the last few weeks that I have to indicate about the future of the University."
"I don't think I'm going to miss most of the weekend," he said, her eyes never hovering over bappers who were night working on some
His office has developed a coordinated program for audiovisual equipment, he said, but many other kinds of equipment need similar programs.
Saricks' years as vice chancellor have seen the coming of such academic watchwords as affirmative action, financial exigency and educational accountability. The Sackettian tradition of dards in academic policy was perhaps inevitable but not altogether welcome.
"There is a need to keep updated by some
mechanism, unfortunately
haven't heard of it."
“It’s part of a greater move toward the use of management techniques in higher education,” he said. “While I think the University can profit from it, I don't think you can run a university the way you run a business.
Rep. Lloyd Buzzi, R-Lawrence, a member of the committee, said that the KU team was fairly comparable to K-State's and had been well-received by the committee.
"A business can measure its efficiency by its productivity. But when you talk about a product, and you can't always tell how to measure the products you're going to turn out. There are subtle and intangible relationships and students that can't be measured."
"It is fairly obvious that in some areas we do have problems in the hiring of minorities and women," Buzi said. "Although some inequities are apparent, I feel it is more of an administrative problem rather than a legislative one."
"As an administrator, your research program goes to pot," he said. "There's no way you can find the larger segments of time to do research. You snip away here and there, and you find yourself going over what you've just done.
Wise said the committee was also discussing a possible change in the pay package for the workers, as well as salary ranges to have a more rapid upward mobility with resulting pay increases.
An administrator's job makes scholarly research almost impossible, Saricks said. He said he was looking forward to doing more research again.
Although pressure to account for the University's activities by counting credit hours and numbers of students has grown, it is still a challenge. Many which are often less tangible, can harm the University, Saricks said. One example of misapplication of standards, he said, would be to determine which graduate programs should have the highest degree or how many degrees each program produced.
Wise said that under such a plan men would reach their top pay range two years later.
"A job like this one has to be frustrating to some extent," he said, "but you do begin to understand the difference. University is about. I'll regret losing those daily personal associations I've established. I have expanded my personal contacts and relationships, both inside and outside the university."
Saricks' concern for qualitative standards shows itself in the characteristics of his position he said were most rewarding to him.
Saricks said his background as a history
scholar had influenced his approach to his
job.

"It's given me tendency to take a larger perspective," he said. "The University isn't

often have to bring home from the office.
Wise said that the committee seemed receptive to the presentations and that she was hopeful that changes would be made within the state's Civil Service System.
"We don't begrigude anybody getting a
way into our world, we feel a lot of
people are being left out."
The Affirmative Action objectives, according to the statement, are that "the State will examine and revise the Civil Service System to overcome the underutilization of women and minorities in all classifications, assuring equal opportunity for all persons."
Conservative party loses battle over Kansas ballot
The decision, given by John R. Martin,
assistant attorney general, ends a two年
internal dispute in the American Party of
Kansas.
In May 1973, the American party split into two factions, claiming the party's state ballot positioning.
The Kansas attorney general's office yesterday decided that the Conservative Party of Kansas can nominate candidates on the state ballot only after filling a petition with the Secretary of State. The petition must have at least 28,000 signatures.
The group led by Kansas State University professor Ray Hall recently disaffiliated from the national American party and came to the Conservative Party of Kansas.
Yesterday's decision allows the Stallard group to maintain the American party in the midterm elections.
The group led by David L. Stallard, Derby, was subsequently recognized by the American party national committee as the Kansas party representative.
sources said there was "too much scattering all over the lot" in the University's sports facilities.
La Verne S. Hart, 2039 Naismith Drive, national commissiter of the American party, said she didn't really know what to expect from the decision.
"It's really been a hassle," she said.
But Conservative party chairman Hall said after the decision that there were some complicated issues involved and that the committee would study the attorney's opinion.
"It isn't final as far as I'm concerned," Hall said.
"We probably could have gotten working on this situation earlier than we did," he said. "It's number one on our list of priorities. And then it put it on our list of priorities earlier."
Other problems that need immediate attention, Saricks said, are the need to find enough space on campus for classes and other academic activities and the need to coordinate the maintenance of all kinds of teaching equipment.
FALL SPECIAL OFFERS 1975
Many of Saricks' remarks returned to the same theme; the desire to prepare for future problems is too often frustrated by the mechanics of dealing with present ones.
