Program called subversive
Two women from Idaho have charged the Program Head Start Leadership Training program at the University of Kansas with being anti-American and subversive.
The women, Mrs. Paul D. Barnes and Mrs. Elmo Ellison, both of Malta, Idaho, were at KU last January and February to attend a 7-week leadership training program designed to train Head Start teachers and social service aids. The program is sponsored by the School of Social Welfare.
The two have charged they were forced to attend a lecture by Saul Alinsky Feb. 3 and were bussed to Kansas City Jan. 21 to protest the airing of the anti-welfare record "Welfare Cadillac."
Mrs. Barnes has claimed Alinsky called for "the overthrow of the existing order." Ed Scaggs, associate professor of social welfare, denied the charge saying that Alinsky called for change but stressed that it must be done within the present system.

The two women have been promised a Congressional investigation by Rep. Orval Hansen (R-Idaho) who was contacted Friday by the Kansan.

Hansen said plans call for inquiries at the Congressional level and a report to HEW Secretary Robert Finch.
Court review to decide fate of petition
An emergency session of the Student Court will decide the fate of the Wescoe Hall referendum at a 6:30 meeting tonight.
The referendum was originally scheduled to be on the ballot on March 17 and 18. A Student Senate Executive Committee decision banned it from the ballot. David Miller, candidate for Student Body president, and Dan Beck, vice-presidential candidate, first made a fruitless appeal to the Election Committee before bringing it before the Student Court, Beck said.
"If the charges are true, Hansen said, "the next step will be to secure changes in the program."
The Student Court has the power to issue a court order forcing the committee to comply with the petition, Beck said.
Population study determines data on city of Wichita
Population projections to determine the age, sex, and voting age of the center-city area of Wichita just beyond the year 2000 are being worked out by two researchers at the University of Kansas Center for Regional Studies.
Robert T. Aangeenbrug, director of the center, and Carl E. Youngmann, research associate, are conducting the study funded by a $1,369 grant from the Wichita-Sedgwick County Metropolitan Area Planning Department.
