Ehrlich to speak tonight
Paul Ehrlich, nationally known ecologist and University of Kansas alumnus, will speak at 8 p.m. today in Allen Field House.
National president of Zero Population Growth (ZPG) and author of the book "The Population Bomb," Ehrlich will speak on "The Population Crisis: Where We Stand Now."
Ehrlich attended KU as a graduate student and received his master's degree here in 1955 and his Ph.D. in 1957. He now teaches population biology at Stanford University.
"The Population Bomb" has 850,000 copies in print at the present and is a required text in several KU classes, including Biology I. The sales of the book in the Kansas Union Book Store have reportedly gone up after his TV appearance on the Tonight Show and other TV talk shows. Ehrlich also has a book coming out soon called, "Population Resources and Environment."
James Koevgni, associate professor of botany and biology and connected with several ecology activities on the KU campus, said
that people are coming in from Topeka, Baldwin, and McPherson to hear Ehrlich speak.
ZPG has more than 8,000 national members including 180 paid members in the Douglas County chapter. It emphasizes the need for population control and encourages the two-child family. ZPG advocates governal support of birth control, including abortions, and is trying to get the government to give tax incentives for the smaller family. Ehrlich and his wife, Ann, also a KU alumnus, have one child.
Private printing firm to publish BSU paper
The University of Kansas Black Student Union (BSU) will have its newspaper, Harambee, printed by a private firm because of a ruling Friday by Attorney General Kent Frizzell, said John Spearman, Lawrence sophomore and BSU president.
Frizell ruled that anyone involved in the publication of the
Rented plane pilot hijacked to Havana
MIAMI (UPI) — A pilot wearing cowboy boots dropped a note on a Florida landing strip Monday reporting his rented plane was being hijacked to Cuba. Two hours later it landed at Havana.
Federal Aviation Agency personnel were puzzled by the flight. They reported that when the twin-engine Piper Apache stopped at Naples, Fla., only the pilot was seen aboard it.
"I have people to go to Cuba," the note read. "Give me a heading, now."
The pilot, identified as Tex Etheridge, 52, threw out a note written on an aeronautical chart as the plane taxied on the Naples runway.
"Before I could give him the heading he took off," Eidson said. "He looked nervous."
Jessie David Eidson, an FAA worker at Naples, tried to wave the plane toward a parking area while asking another airport attendant for the heading.
Eidson said he saw only Etheridge in the plane.
The FAA said the plane landed in Havana two hours after it left Naples and there were no immediate plans for its return.
Etheridge had rented the plane earlier in the day at West Palm Beach, across the state from Naples. He boarded the plane carrying a suitcase and two coats, saying he planned to fly to Key West,
It was the second incident in recent days involving the flight of a small plane to Cuba. Last week an ex-convict and his girl friend commandeered a single-engine plane at Gastonia, N.C., and forced the pilot to take them to Havana.

third issue of Harambee is subject to prosecution under Kansas statutes dealing with speeches and written matter advocating crime and violence.
The statement said that in the third issue of Harambee, the question of obscenity was only minor.
Employees of the University Printing Service will not be forced to publish Harambee, because they could be prosecuted for the publication.
Frizzell said the theme of the third issue of Harambee was the arming of the blacks. Under what he described as a "veneer of references frequently made to 'defense,'" this issue advocated violence for political ends and analyzed the effectiveness of certain firearms for killing policemen.
Such material "should not be protected under the guise of free speech," Frizzell stated, "to hold otherwise commits all of us to the position of welcoming and fostering our own murderers."
The opinion was requested by Douglas County Attorney Dan Young after an attorney for the printing service employees asked if the printers could be prosecuted for printing the Harambee.
In part, the copy in question stated, "a .38 (pistol) will open prison gates!" and "seize the time. Before the pigs seize you we must move from resistance to aggression, from revolt to revolution."
Frizzell said it was "highly inappropriate" for a publication like the Harambee to be financed with public funds.
The KU Student Senate appropriated $10,000 to the BSU for programs it could not finance through University channels. Part of that sum is composed of student fees, which Frizzell said were not voluntary contributions.
The BSU is now soliciting private contributions for the purpose of having Harambee printed by a private enterprise.
If Harambee is published by a private firm, student fees cannot be used.
