Group condemns arsonists
A group of concerned students and faculty at the University of Kansas is attempting to do something about the incidents of last week.
They call themselves the Concerned Student-Faculty Association. The group now consists of about 15 faculty, graduate and
undergraduate students and originated previous to the Kansas Union fire, said Stan Jasper, Topeka junior.
The association is attempting to study the interworkings of KU, the Lawrence community, the Board of Regents, faculty and students, Jasper said.
Pontiff loosens rules in inter-faith marriage
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Pope Paul VI has loosened only slightly the Roman Catholic Church's restrictions on mixed marriages of Catholics and other faiths, it was announced Tuesday.
The new rules, announced by the U.S. Catholic Conference in Washington, abandoned the requirement that the non-Catholic party to a marriage promise in advance to let the children be reared as Catholics.
But the new rules still require the Catholic partner to promise
Nixon holds yacht sale to economize
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Two White House yachts named for President Nixon's daughters will be put up for sale as an economy move, it was announced today.
The sale of the 90-foot cabin cruiser Patricia—Tricia's full name—and the 64-foot cruiser Julie will trim the President's personal fleet by two-thirds, leaving only the 99-foot Sequoia for the First Family's boating pleasures.
that he will "do all in his power to have all the children baptized and grow up in the Catholic Church."
The White House estimated deactivation of the two cruisers would result in an estimated saving of $200,000 a year.
The net effect of the change is that the non-Catholic partner will no longer be compelled to make a promise of his own which he might consider a violation of his conscience, but would be aware that he will be forcing his mate to violate a solemn promise unless he goes along with the Catholic upbringing of the children.
The new rules, issued March 31, by the Pope in a 2,400-word letter entitled "Matrimonio Mixta" and effective Oct. 1, are more likely to irritate than to placate Protestants who have long felt hindered by the Vatican's position on mixed marriages.
The revised instructions were to have been made public on Thursday but were released by the conference here Tuesday when they were published in violation of an embargo.
Protestants had hoped that the Pope would eliminate any strictures on child-rearing in the faith and that he would permit Protestants to take part in mixed marriage ceremonies.

The Pope did neither, although he relaxed previous rules on both points. Going further, he rejected arguments from some quarters that mixed marriages can be means of furthering the ecumenical movement of reconciliation among faiths.
The letter stated that such marriages are unlawful and should be discouraged, although they are valid with proper dispensation.
Disapproval of the burning of buildings and violence in Lawrence has been expressed by the association. Members have termed it irresponsible, stupid and damaging to the students of the University as well as the community at large.
No demands have been made by the individuals who caused the incidents, Jasper said. Since no demands have been made, no demands can be met and no dissipation can occur among the persons who found reason to create such acts.
The persons who caused such incidents seem to have given up on any means of communication. With no knowledge of their anger or why they feel the way they do, there can be no resolving of the issue, Jasper said.
Those interested in contributing to the work of the association are asked to contact Jasper.
