Ebert presides in Senate
Bill Ebert, Topeka junior and new student body president, presided for the first time at the Student Senate meeting held Wednesday night in the Kansas Union Woodruff Auditorium.
A proposed resolution limiting the jurisdiction of the Student Court was considered at the meeting, which, if passed, in a
future meeting, the statute would limit the Student Court's jurisdiction to that authorized by the Senate Code, statutes of the University government and jurisdiction directed to it by the University Judiciary.
The statute also clarifies the Court's membership selection, terms of office, procedural guarantees, appeals and rule-making powers.

After the burn, the spacemen used their reaction control rockets—small steering thrusters—to slow their speed a bit more—just over one-tenth of a mile an hour.
While getting ready for the maneuver, the astronauts reported temperatures in their spacecraft had dropped to about 35 or 40 degrees. One official said cabin temperatures could drop to freezing by re-entry time.
If all continues to go well, the astronauts will splash down at 1:04 p.m. EST Friday, about 600 miles southeast of Pago Pago in the South Pacific.
It got cold because the astronauts powered-down so many of their instruments since disaster struck man's third try for a moon landing.

VIENNA (UPI) — President Nixon has sent a message to the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) urging a determined effort to curb the nuclear missile race, diplomatic sources said today.
The crucial conference between the two super powers was scheduled to open at 6 a.m. (EST) today.
Nixon urges limiting race for weapons

cedures.
Nixon's call reportedly urged a determined cooperative effort to limit the strategic arms race in a world of multiplying nuclear weapons for the sake of peace and security.
The SALT conference stems from exploratory consultations between the United States and Russia in Helsinki last November, which recommended that substantive negotiations on possible strategic arms limitations open in the Austrian capital today.
Nixon was understood to have instructed his team to follow a flexible but cautious negotiating line in the coming months of tough discussions with the Russians.
The Russians, on past experience, were not likely to make easy concessions following a warning from Soviet party chief Leonid I. Brezhnev that the United States must not expect to gain military superiority.

off so much heat the spaceship needs to be cooled, but in the powered-down condition, the chill settled in.
Meanwhile, grounded Apollo 13 astronaut Thomas K. Mattingly was showing the first signs he may be coming down with the German measles, the space agency reported early today.
A spokesman said Mattingly's count of lymph cells has risen. He said this is common at the onset of virus diseases and although it may not be a definite indication of the measles, the astronaut appears to be coming down with something.
A petition to be filed with the Regents calls for the undertaking of a study on the value of selling University residence halls to private concerns. It was submitted by Dennis Embrey, Great Bend junior, and Brad Smoot, Sterling sophomore.
Mattingly was kept off the Apollo 13 lunar landing mission when it took off Saturday because he lacked immunity to measles, to which he was exposed through backup astronaut Charles Duke. His place was taken on Apollo 13 by Swigert.
The Senate also passed a resolution opposing the action taken by the Kansas State Board of Regents which postponed the promotions of Lawrence Velvel, associate professor of law, and Frederic Litto, assistant professor of speech and drama.
An American flag flew through the night and into the day's gray drizzle Wednesday, indicating that as far as Marilyn Lovell was concerned, everything still was all right.
Mrs. Lovell, normally vivacious wife of Apollo 13 commander James A. Lovell Jr., ran the flag up over her home Saturday and vowed to keep it there as iong as mission control had a "go" for a safe return to earth of the three pilots.
stroys the faculty's will and ability to perform its expected duty of encouraging, and participating in, the free exchange of ideas between its members and their students."
Mary Haise, wife of Lovell's lunar module pilot, Fred, also left her home Wednesday for the first time since the explosion when Apollo 13 was 205,000 miles from the earth.
It was submitted by Willis H Jacob, Lake Charles, La., graduate student.
She was solemn when photographers caught her Wednesday, but managed a smile for them when she left her home to visit Lovell's aged mother in a nearby rest home and reassure her about the flight.
In the resolution, the Senate asked the Regents to immediately reconsider its action and recommended that the Regents adopt the policy that scholarly accomplishments and faculty judgment would be the only criteria upon which faculty promotions would be based.
She was tightlipped when she went to the home of Sue Bean, the wife of one of the Apollo 12 moonwalkers, for lunch.
A spokesman for the Space Agency said that Mrs. Haise was "more relaxed than she has been the last two days" because she had gotten some sleep and was heartened by reports of improving conditions from the spacecraft.
The resolution stated, "The Regents' action creates an atmosphere of fear among the faculty which vivitates the academic purposes of the University and de-
The validity of the old Senate's legislative powers was questioned by John Vratil, Larned law student. He quoted a Senate code article which limits the terms of office to the time of the election; of a new senate and until joint meeting of both University and Student Senates in April.
Also passed was a resolution urging the Regents to initiate a bill at the next session of the Kansas Legislature which would permit reclassification of physicians at student health facilities
The proposed bill would include provisions for raising physicians' salary limits, thus making KU more competitive in the medical market.
Two amendments to the Senate Code were passed that will clarify the terms of office and vacancy in the Senate, and election pro-
David Awbrey, Hutchinson senior and Rick von Ende, Abilene, Tex., graduate student, said the section of the Senate Code was vague, but was clarified by the Senate's by-laws.
