Sen. McGovern speaks at Fort Hays
HAYS (UPI) — Stressing the need to get out of Southeast Asia, scaling down the military budget and redeeming our own society. Sen. George McGovern, D-S.D., addressed the students and faculty at Fort Hays State College Tuesday afternoon.
The senator, on a state-wide speaking tour, appeared as a feature of the Artists and Lectures series on the Fort Hays State campus.
While dwelling at length on the Vietnam war and reiterating his long-standing position on the United States' involvement in Southeast Asia, McGovern returned to his concern with today's
current popular topic, environment.
"We have a great task to turn away from war and destruction," he said, "and turn to the redemption of our own great, but troubled, land. We have a special obligation to take care of what we have. Environment is more than our land, water or air, it is how we treat one another."
In response to a question about the current situation in the Middle East, the senator said that he felt it was potentially more dangerous than Southeast Asia at this time. He pointed to the frustrating position which he believes the United States is in regarding the Middle East.
Parking rule upheld by KU student court
A ruling which upholds the validity of rule VI-K of the parking and traffic regulations of KU was handed down Feb. 3, by the Student Court.
Rule VI-K says cars cannot park in the small parking lots of the central campus during semesterbreaks and vacations without a permit. Opponents said the rule was unconstitutional and discriminatory.
The opinion of Chief Justice John Hampton, Lawrence second year law student, of the Student Court was:
"It is the 4-3 decision of this court that rule VI-K of the parking and traffic regulations of the University of Kansas is neither vague nor discriminatory.
"The majority of this court has
decided that the rule is in the best interest of the University. These lots are very small and are close to the central campus area where the need to be in this area would necessarily be greater for faculty and staff (those with bona fide reasons as evidenced by their having received parking stickers for these lots) than for students, and especially during these vacation and between semester periods.
"Though this court does have full power, and indeed duty, to refuse to enforce any rule it finds to be unconstitutional, we feel the need for this has not arisen.
"The constitutionality of this particular rule is no longer in question by this court and we therefore uphold its validity and enforceability."

NEW YORK (UPI) — Four Jacqueline Onassis letters stolen from the files of former Deputy Secretary of Defense Roswell L. Gilpatrick were withdrawn Tuesday from an auction sale at which they were expected to bring $500 to $1,000 each.
Dave Andersen, vice-chairman for rush, said that registration for participating rushes will be held Aug. 17. That night there will be a mass "train-date" dinner in the Kansas Union to kick-off the week. The rushees are to live in McCollum Hall.
Gilpatrick learned of the theft of the letters from locked files at his Manhattan law firm from a reporter who called to question him about the sale of the letters at the Charles Hamilton Auction Galleries March 12. Gilpatrick is reported to have checked his file of Mrs. Onassis' letters and found it empty.

"We don't feel the early rushing date is going to affect us because various living groups on and about campus are going to yearly contracts," Andersen said. Prospective fraternity men will think twice before signing yearly contracts."
Andersen said that 70 per cent of the men that pledged during formal rush last year were from out of state.
Last year of 717 men interested in joining the Greek system, 376 pledged during open rush and 286
Some have argued against rush week, citing Kansas State as one school that has eliminated it, Andersen said.
