There is an old Lao saying "When the buffalo fight, it is the grass that suffers." An exhibit in the Kansas Union sums up that buffaloes live in Indochina on its peoples and traditions.
Heidi Kugli and Helen Stevens, who have been traveling with the Indochina Mobile Education Program (IMEP), presented a slide show last night in the Forum Room of the Union depicting the effects of war on the Indochinese people.
The IMEP exhibit and films will be open to the public today at 15:30 in the Browsing and Forum Rooms in the Kansas Union. The program, sponsored by Kansans Concerned About Indochina, a Douglas County organization, started Sunday.
Kuglin, a University of Kansas graduate, was in Vietnam for two years as a staff member of the Quaker Rehabilitation Center in Quang Ngi Province. Stevens, formerly a teacher in Scotland, went to Saigon in 1972 where her job was to organize

KUAC expects to receive $44,495 from the state of Kansas to be applied toward several salaries, and this figure isn't included in the salary estimates. The company also receives his salary from the state.

STEVENS SAID THAT she had invisoned Vietnam as a devastated land in shades of black and white like television news reports, but found it to be a beautiful country, rich in agricultural resources. This is particularly remarkable because, where the fighting has had its least effect.
"The democratic government of Suigon," Stevens said, "is not very democratic."
According to Kuglin, the Vietnamese elections were a farce because all three parties vote for Thieu and secret police watch each vote being cast.
There isn't freedom of the press as declared in the Vietnamese constitution and its constituent articles.
President Thieu can't go out among the people because he has no support, she said. The presidential palace is guarded by machine guns, she said.
"People must account for who they are, where they are and why they aren't in the Army." (Tao Seng)
VIETNAM has been hard hit by the energy shortage. Stevens said; therefore it depends on water buffalo to do heavy farm work.
The valuable water buffalo must be constantly guarded and the job of guarding them is usually relegated to the children, but they are in danger of being guarding the water buffalo that many of the children are seriously injured or killed by land mines, she said. Kuglin said many child amputees who were victims of land mines were trained in the Quakerobilization Center.
The Indochina Mobile Education project was established in 1971 by Don Loece, a journalist and agricultural expert who spent 16 years in Vietnam, to educate the American people about the traditions and present conditions of the Indochinese.
The exhibit consists of photographs of the peoples of the area, maps and folklore in the Browsing Room, and two films, "Vietnam: Still an American War," and "Saignon aagon on display" on the democratic mini-convention in Kansas City in December.
Kansans Concerned About Indochina, which is sponsoring the exhibit, is made up of veterans of the Indochinese war, area of Vietnam. The others interested in Indochinese culture.
The subject of Conant, however, is not new to Tuttle. From 1965 to 1967, while living in Washington, D.C., he helped Conant with research for his autobiography. He also conducted a formal dissertation on Conant and received a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin.
Before work on the autobiography began, Tuttle said, he signed a contract with Conant in which Conant gave him access to his papers and the right to use them after Conant's autobiography, "My Several Lives," was published in 1970. In the meantime, Tuttle said, he became interested in black history.
TUTTLE CAME to KU in 1967 and taught history for two years. In 1968 he left to study at the institute of Southern History at John Hopkins University in Baltimore. He went on to study at Stanford University Warren center for the Study of American History. He returned to KU in 1973.
Tuttle to write Conant biography
"I'm happy to be able to have the time to work on this," he said. "In order to do the job, I need sustained, uninterrupted time, rather than a couple hours here and there."
TUTTLE SAID he would combine a sabbatical leave from the University, from August 1975 until May 1976, with his work on the biography. He will spend the summer traveling on the east coast and in California, researching his material, he said.
The fellowship, awarded on the basis of past accomplishments and strong promise for the future, gives Tuttle money on which to live while researching and writing the book. He was selected from among 2,819 students in the foundation's fifty-first annual meeting. During its history, the foundation has granted nearly $80-million in fellowships.

courses and one by himself, Tuttle has written two books, "Race Riot: Chicago in the Red Summer of 1919," published in 1970, and "W.E.B. D凹Bu: A Great Life Exposed" in 1974. He is now working on a book, the history of violence in the 20th century.
Tuttle said that he had already done much of the work on the biography of Conant, but that some of his thinking had changed since he began the work.
"Ideologically, I've changed quite a bit since then, so we've got to rethink it and reorganize it," he said. "I think it'll be quite different."
CONANT REALIZED the importance of mobilizing science during World War II, Tuttle said. When the federal government saw that the best scientists were at universities and private institutions, Conant was influential in urging the government to mobilize science. He said, to mobilize science, he said, and as a result, new industries were brought into existence.
"What interests me about this project," Tuttle said, "is that a lot of studies have been done about the cold war, but none have focused on science and public policy in World War 11."
"Not much has been written about how
science and higher education got plugged into the military-industrial complex."
Tuttle's fellowship is effective from July to October, and he expected to be finished with the book look.
Charles F. Sidman, chairman of the department of history, and it was unusual that he was the first historian department to receive Guggenheim fellowships in the same year. People fail to realize, he said, that most educators also do work in addition to regular teaching loads.
"BUT WE WOULDN'T do it if we didn't enjoy it and believe it was worthwhile," he
A former associate professor of history at KU, Kenneth Maxwell, also received a fellowship to study at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. He will use his fellowship to study Caribbean slave unrest during democratic revolutions of the late 18th century.
Tittle said he had applied for a fellowship from the foundation in October by submitting four letters of recommendation to the foundation. He was notified last Friday of his selection.

You've been there. Now you can help them.
They've got a long way to go. In a world that isn't easy. But with some patience, help. You can get someone who is a friend. Someone to act as confident and guide. Perhaps, it could be you as a Palestinian.
The Salesians of St. John Rozen were founded in 1859 to
serve youth. Unlike other orders whose apostate has changed with varying conditions, the Salesians always have been — and will be, youth oriented. Today we're helping to prepare young-agers for tomorrow. Not an easy task but we all welcome.
And how do we go about it? By following the precepts of our founder, Don Bosco. To crowd out evil with reason, religion and kindness with a method of play, learn and pray. We're trying to build better communities by helping to create better men.
As a Salarian, you are guaranteed the chance to help the young in a wide range of endeavor, as guidance counselor, psychologist, in boys clubs, summer camps, as missionaries, and you are given the kind of training you need to help them.
The Salemian family is a large one (we are the third largest order) but a warm one. A community with an enthusiastic family feeling where not only our talents are shared but our shortages of friends and experiences are shared as an important mission in your life, we welcome your interest.
