Clark creamed
Mayor Barkley Clark, professor of law, expresses mixed emotions seconds after being hit with a cream饼 Wednesday
morning. The pie was delivered during one of Clark's lectures by unidentified professional pie throwers.
Mayor faces flying cream
Whop! A little pie in the eye for the Lawrence Mayor. Brotherhood of Pieface Assassins made their first hit Wednesday, and Clark in the face with a coconut cream pie.
The two anonymously hit men the pie-in-the-eye operation, creamed Clark, professor of law, in the commercial law department as teaching at about 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Clark finished the class, but had some difficulty hearing students on the left side of the room, because he said he still had coconut cream in his left ear.
Clark said he was surprised, but not the least bit angry.
"I'm just glad they used coconut cream instead of lemon meringue," he said, as he put the spoon into the glass.
Clark said he was teaching his class when someone knocked on the door and said that he was taking a picture.
opened the door and two pieface assailants
bit him with the pipe and then fled, he said.
"It's the first time in the classroom that I've gained a pound," he said with a smile.
Clark was of laughs and smiles as he recalled the sticky smear.
"There's a great contrast between a coconut cream饼 and a commercial law class," he said in a serious tone, "because he said in law I support to be a dry subject."
Brotherhood of Pieface Assassins is a newly organized business, operated by two University of Kansas students, who declined to identify themselves except as Surehand Surehand and his trusty partner Deadeve.
Sureland Sureland said he and his partner would cream anyone, except policemen, for a fee of $20 for students and $25 for anyone else.
Three hits are planned for the weekend.
Sureland Sureland said. One of the victims is well-known, he said.
He said that they had a contract to cream Clark, but that he didn't know the customer's name. He said he spoke with his client once and picked up the $20 fee at a store.
Another hit had been scheduled at 2 p.m. The client said he had ordered a burial said the client had cancelled the ticket.
The Brotherhood ran a classified advertise-
tion in the Kansas last week, which stated that they were the best hit persons in the business.
"We'll cream anybody for a price," the advertisement stated.
Surehand Surehand said business was good. He said that many people had called just for information, but that they were getting contracts.
He said they weren't worried about being prosecuted for their pie-in-the-eye operation because the hit persons who had been arrested had not been prosecuted.
Bus fare increase okaved by Senate
By JIM BATES
Kansan Staff Reporter
Students will pay more to ride campus as a result of action taken by the Board.
individual fares will increase from 15
and up to $70 per passenger bus passes
will air from $4.10 to $14.00
Meeting for the last time this semester, the Senate also approved bills dealing with student health insurance, classroom teaching and publications and allocated over $4,000 from the Senate's contingency fund.
McMurry said the subcommittee had decided to recommend raising fares rather than the present $1.50 campus privilege fee for students enrolled at his institution, bases should bear the brunt of the cost.
The Senate, however, rejected a resolution supporting activity fee increases for the Supporters.
The increase in bus fares was made necessary by an increase in the rate paid to the Lawrence Bus Co. for operating the buses. The state commission of the transportation subcommittee which recommended the bill. He told the Senate that the campus bus system nearly broke even this year but that the system needed additional funds to pay the new bus fare.
THE BUS COMPANY, WHICH is
the busiest in New York with
$1.00 per hour, hourly
payable $1.00 per person.
"Since everybody pays the fee and not everybody rides the bus," he said, "we must pay."
"Fees are going up all over."
The privilege fee couldn't be increased until spring anyway. McMurry said.
John House, Senate treasurer, attempted to amend the bill to leave fares at 15 cents while increasing the cost of passes to $16. House admitted that if only 200 less people would pay the tax system could end up with a $1,800 deficit but said he didn't think that would happen.
`"THINK THE SAME number of people are going to buy the pass whether it’s $8.49"`
McMurry said fares should increase along with the passes. If they didn't, there would be no reason for students to buy the passes, he said.
McRurry said that even if pass sales stayed the same, the system would end up with only $1,331 in its contingency fund. He said the subcommittee believed that it was unrealistic to have less than $5,000 in the system's contingency fund.
Chandler assesses mood of nation

Chandler, 47, also is the vice chairman of the Times Mortor Co., whichpublish four newspapers, including Newday, a Long Island daily tabloid with a circulation of one-half million, and the Dallas Times-Herald. The company also owns several television stations and eight book publishing companies.
The fall of Cambodia and now the fall of South Vietnam have dealt devastating blows to the United States and the most violent reactions are yet to come, Otis Chandler, publisher of the Los Angeles Times, said Wednesday.
CHANDLER SAID THAT although it was early to make judgments on Vietnam, there were two lessons to be learned from the U.S. involvement there.
He said he didn't think this country would ever again engage in a civil war on foreign ground when its national interest wasn't at stake. He said the United States was guided by the domino theory, which he called a little far-fetched.
Chandler spoke of the mood of the United States, the role of the press in affecting the mood of the country and other current phenomena he on his honor in the Kansas Union.
There is also a military lesson to be
During his visit to the University, Chandler also spoke to a group of journalism students and answered their questions about current topics.
learned, he said, that the United States shouldn't send troops into an area to fight when the government will not permit them to "go all out."
CHANDLER, THE 28TH RECIPIENT of the award, said he received the award on a historic day, the end of the war in Vietnam. He said that it was a sobering day, one that would be met with a variety of reactions around the country—joy, sorrow, puzzlement or bewilderment—for those involved in any way in Vietnam.
Although House's amendment was debated, another amendment to the bill was passed.
A number of other senators spoke against the resolution, taking the same position as Hyle. They said that although the vote wouldn't change anything, it might let the Union know that the Senate was 'nothing pleased with the way the increase had come about.
A bill leaving summer bus fares at 15 cents for students and 25 cents for non-students also was passed. McMurry told the Senate more efficient checks on whether riders were students would be made this summer.
The William Allen White Award for journalistic merit was presented to Chandler at the luncheon by Drew McLaughlin Jr., president of the foundation and editor of the Miami Republican and Western Spirit newspapers in Paola, Kan. McLaughlin said the award was presented to Chandler for "outstanding journalism in American and international journalism in the tradition established by Mr. White."
quality the Times Mirror Co. tried to achieve.
The second amendment, submitted by Adrienne Hyle, Manhattan graduate student, allows nonstudents to buy semester books in the library. It didn't even be able to buy passes previously.
Hyle criticized the Union for coming to the Senate at such a late date. She said the Senate should vote against the resolution in protest.
"The military know only one way to fight, and that is to fight to win," he said.
Most people have seen or heard the hard news before reading newspapers, he said, and therefore newspapers must provide a source of information if find on television or in news magazines.
In receiving the award, Chandler said he was now listed among the giants of the game. "It's the best," he said.
"I suggest," he said, "that the newspapers of America hold a unique opportunity today to turn the national mood of opinion into one of optimism, eventually to one of pragmatic optimism.
HE SAID MILITARY leaders have said that U.S. politicians made them fight with the Muslims.
"It is hard for anyone to take this much bad news this fast, and particularly for Americans, who are used to winning and losing everything and in every place," he said.
THE SENATE PASSED a bill submitted by Steve Segebrecht, Prairie Village sophomore, which eliminates full coverage of prescription drugs from student health insurance.

Insurance costs are increasing,
Wollmann said. He said that dropping the drug coverage would save $2.76 per student and leave health insurance costs next year.
Kyle Ward, district representative for Blue Cross-Blue Shield, said his company would pay for advertising in the University Daily Kansan to inform students of the change. He told the Senate that prescription costs would now be counted as major expenses and would not be pursued by offices reach $100, he said, insurance will take over and pay 80 per cent.
Chander said the fall of Cambodia and Vietnam following the problems of Watergate, plus the energy crisis, the threat of a new Mideast war, the economic recession and unemployment have all had at depressing effect on Americans.
Both the Los Angeles Times and Newsday were listed among the nation's 10 best newspapers by Time magazine last year. Chandler said this was a reflection of the
He said he wouldn't advocate a halt in legitimate investigative reporting of wrongdoing where it might occur and wouldn't let up in the fight to maintain a
Chandler said that the role of newspapers was changing and that the Times and Newday were both beginning to take a daily magazine approach. Without ignoring their own concerns, they have to more analysis, investigation and in-depth reporting on various topics.
Jeff Rhodes, Student Services Committee cochairman, who submitted the resolution, said the Union had been unable to ask the Senate to give him the bad news to bad to meet a deadline in getting the increase before the Board of Regents. He said that the Union was sorry about coming to the Senate after the increase had already happened and it hoped to do things differently next year.
He said that the press, after Watergate and the resignation of former President Richard M. Nixon, had become overzealous in reporting and lost his sense of balance
"WHAT ALL THIS MEANS to me is that this country, after 200 years, has arrived at adulthood," he said. "We have come of age. We are no longer the biggest kid on the earth."
"We somehow need to settle down in a hat, and to relate our feelings of perspective. We need to tell our readers that all is not lost, that much is good that is happening at city hall on the campuses and in the state capitals and Washington and even in the White House."
The United States has lost some of its
power, but it was inevitable at some point
in U.S. history.
Kevin Flynn, committee chairman, said the publications board presently consisted of only a chairman. He said the committee wanted to take over the board's authority so it could work as a body over the summer with a comprehensive bills public.
Martin Wollmann, director of Watkins Memorial Hospital, told the Senate the Health Services Board had recommended that students be given a way to avoid increasing student health fees.
THE SENATE ABOLISHED the Student Publications Board and gave its authority to make decisions concerning students.
THE SENATE FAILED to pass a resolution supporting an increase of $1.56 in the minimum wage.
Over two-thirds of the Senators voted against the resolution.

Gene Olander, Shawnee County attorney, said after Long pleaded guilty April 10 that he would wait until Long was sentenced in Douglas County before going ahead with proceedings against Long in Shawnee County.
A charge of first degree murder was changed to second degree murder and a charge of attempted rape in Douglas County from the original campainl against Lone S.
David Berkowitz, Douglas County attorney, said that discrepancies in witness testimony made it difficult for the state to prove the charges. Mr. Berkowitz committed a felony when he shot Storckebee.
KANSAS LAW STATES that first degree murder is committed only when premeditation occurs or when the murderer is in the act of committing a felony when the murder occurs. The Douglas County attorney's complaint was based on the premise that Long was in the process of committing a felony when he shot Storckeb.
The attempted rape charge was dropped because the testimony of witnesses might not stand up in court, according to Berkowitz.
He said Long would be eligible for parole within 15 years even if he had also pleaded guilty to the attempted rape and the first degree murder charges.
Long was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for all the amended charges except for the unlawful possession of firearms charge, for which he was sentenced to three to 10 years in prison. All the sentences were delivered to the sentences provided for in Kangsa law.
ED COLLISTER, LONG'S attorney, asked that Gray consider that Long had been under great pressure when he committed the acts. Long was not a vicious criminal, Collister said, but bad problemed him with his lost job and was addicted to heroin.
Long's wife also spoke to Gray before Long's sentencing, and said that she had been sick and had been out of the hospital only two days before the acts were com-
