Islands okay citizenship
SAIPAN—Residents of the strategically important Northern Mariana Islands, firing for emerging World War II, voted overwhelmingly yesterday to become American citizens.
The commonwealth covenant, which still must be approved by Congress and the United Nations, gives the United States military lease rights on 18,000 acres, mostly on the tiny Tinian Island. It would mark the first major acquisition of territory by the United States since it acquired the Virgin Islands in 1917.
Stockholder suits halted
WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court ruled unanimously yesterday that stockholders can't go directly into federal court to halt illegal expenditures of corporate funds on political campaigns or to collect damages because of such expenditures.
In an opinion written by Justice William J. Brennan Jr., the court said Congress apparently intended the 1971 Federal Election Campaign Act as "nothing more than a bare criminal statute, with absolutely no indication that civil enforcement of any kind was available to anyone."
The court concluded that Congress intended "that the relationship between corporations and their stockholders would continue to be entrusted entirely to state

A note delivered to the U.S. Embassy ordered that negotiations begin within 30 days. It said that if "action is not taken to initiate the talks" the U.S. military in involvement would be limited.
The 20 American bases are important both to the southeastern buttress of the North Atlantic alliance and as monitors of Soviet naval movements in and out of the Pacific.
Italian vote swings left
ROME - Inflation and unemployment mixed with political scandals and poor economic conditions, inflated the millions of Italians to the extreme lion in donations for 15 new regional legislatures. Mice were caught up in the mess.
Youths between 18 and 21 voted for the first time and are also thought to have contributed to the leftist advance.
Nearly half the Italian electorate voted Marxist, with one out of every three votes going to the surging Communist party itself.
The strong Communist gain increased pressure for inclusion of the party in the national government for the first time since 1947 and caused a sharp drop in stock
Kansas free toilet bill filed
TOPEKA-A A state representative prefiled yesterday a bill for the 1976 legislature that would outlaw all pay toilers in Kansas.
Rep. Jim Lawing, D-Wichita, an attorney, said he didn't know how many pay toilets there were in Kansas and it may not be a major problem in this state.
But, he told a statehouse news conference, "It's a real problem to those in need, and you never know when your time of need may come."
Lawing at least four states- California, Florida, Alaska and Illinois—already have laws prohibiting or limiting toilet facilities.

Alumni support at the University of Kansas is holding steady despite the economic problems confronting institutions of higher education.
KANSAS STAFF REPORTER
KU alumni gifts rank 5th in U.S.
KU ranks fifth nationally in total alumni support to public universities and colleges according to a report recently released by the Council for Financial Aid to Education and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.
The report, "Annual Voluntary Support of Education Report," covers the fiscal year 1973-74, when gifts from individual alumni were received. Endowment Association totaled $2,725.40.
Contributions for 1974-75 are slightly ahead of last year's figures, Todd Seymour, executive secretary of the Endowment Association, said yesterday.
KU also placed high in another category of the report, ranking sixth in the number of alumni who have joined University Fund (GUF), the Endowment Association's annual donation fund, Rick Whiston, director of GUF, said. During 1973-74, the university contributed $700,000 to the program.
Insurance rates for lawyers up
CHICAGO (AP) - Malpractice insurance rates for lawyers are climbing to the point where bar officials say further increases in the same crisis now felt in medical practice.
James D. Fellers, president of the American Bar Association, has said lawyers have increased as much as 300 percent in the last five years. He said that within five years there may be no carrier willing to underwrite legal malpractice
Examples include suits for letting appeals deadlines pass, filing deeds improperly or making a faulty title search. Lawyers said that a California woman was recently sued by her lawyer claiming her lawyer failed to conduct adequate research into a divorce proceeding.
Most of the suits against lawyers involve administrative and clerical errors.
Some insurance officials say the problem isn't as serious as Fellers said.
Henry Nussbaum, a senior program manager for Continental National American, one of the main insurers for legal malpractice, said "The general public expectation of professional expertise has grown whatever the profession."
Nussbaum said he sees no crisis in the legal profession to match that in health care, unless premium rates aren't allowed. He said one of the factors precipitating the current medical crisis was that premium rates for years were set far too low.
Priorities for spending are set by Chancellor Archie R. Dykes, who serves as a non-voting member of the committee, he said.
Use of unrestricted funds donated to the Endowment Association is determined by the executive committee consisting of the Board of Trustees, Whitson said.
The remaining negotiable funds were used to fund such things as Endowment sponsored professorships, the Excellence in internship, the various requests made by department
Seymour said 75 to 80 per cent of the unrestricted funds were used for student
"Unrestricted funds are used in areas where state funds cannot be used, we seldom supplement federal and state aid," Seymour said.
There were 500 fewer contributors in 1970-71, but the amount of money donated was a 5 to 10 per cent increase over the previous year, he said.
With the exception of fiscal year 1970-71, KU alumni contributions and contributors have been increasing steadily for the past 15 years at a rate of 8 to 10 per cent each year.
The year 1973-74 was the 18th consecutive year in which KU ranked among the top 10 public institutions in numbers of alumni by enrollment to the annual fund and for total alumni gifts.
The highest ranking school, the University of Michigan, has an alumni mailing list of 182,000. KU mails requests to 75,000 alumni.
"Fewer people dug deeper," Whitson said. "We attributed this decrease in contributors directly to the fact that we were having trouble at the University."
"We don't know why we do so well," Whitton said.
"All I can say is we have a beautiful campus and people have a good time here while they're going to school," he said. "They've had a good education and are successful so they support KU after they're gone."

4 AURH interns at work
It's Right Down Your Alley
Ann Eversole, assistant dean of women and a member of the committee that selected the interns, said Monday that the interns' contribution to the residence halls would be significant because several of the projects they will work on, such as fall orientation and contract revision, would affect a large number of students.
Twenty-seven projects ranging from the revision of residence hall contracts to preparation for the K-State-KU canoe race are being worked on by the Association of University Residence Halls' four summer interns during June and July.
The interns, who work in the offices of the Dean of Women and the Dean of Men, are Harry Wigner, president of AURH; Mike Tarabolos, vice president of AURH; Chris Tyler, AirBruh communications coordinator; and Sue Burch, Elmhurst. Il., junior.
Wigner he thought the four summer
