The next meeting of the Senate will be February 18, when the budget, including appropriations to Watkins Hospital and the Satellite Union as well as student fee increases will be discussed.
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott, R-Penn., said Wednesday, barring a catastrophe, President Nixon would not replace troops he withdraws from Vietnam.
Scott assured the Senate Foreign Relations Committee the withdrawal process was "irreversible." But opponents of the war waged their toughest attack on present policies yet—suggesting Nixon planned to leave a residual force in Vietnam of up to
300. 000 men.
Scott told the committee if North Vietnam increases the level of fighting, it "might involve the resort to the use of American power to protect Americans as necessary."
Scott said, "I would not anticipate, barring some catastrophic occurrence—the entry of outside nations—that the reaction of the President would be in terms of escalating troops involvement."

When asked about the controversy surrounding student participation on the faculty committee to choose the new surgery head, Dr. Russell Mills, associate dean, said the faculty at the Medical Center voted some months ago about student participation on faculty committees. The result of the vote welcomed students "on all committees except those dealing with decisions concerning people."
Chalmers said having students on committees at the Medical Center was a new procedure and it raised some questions by the faculty.
When the students talked to the Chancellor about their position, he told them the best course of action was to go to the SenEx which then led to the passage of the resolution last night.
Chuck Loveland, first year medical student and Medical Center representative, presented the recollection, and said medical students are still enrolled in this University and are still ruled by the Senate Code. "At present, the medical students' voice is irrelevant in the running of the school." Loveland said.
Biles said the confrontation with the faculty is a part of the revolution in medicine. Students want a type of medicine which involves the community and not the kind which makes a doctor

just a store house of medical knowledge.
Students want faculty who see the students' side to head committees.
What students feel they can do if they get on these committees is have a voice in curriculum, implement community health programs for credit, and get a voice in choosing the department heads.
The committee opened hearings Wednesday on various resolutions dealing with the Vietnam War and is expected to conclude the three-day session Thursday.
If this resolution does not work, Biles said, other action will be taken.

McGovern charged Nixon, through "the skillful use of national television and the politics of manipulation," had "isolated and intimidated American critics of the war while identifying American interests with a regime in Saigon that is despised by its own people."

"ROTC, I think, is a very valid function for a university to perform," he said. KU is open to all "comers" in the state of Kansas and the only responsible way to meet that circumstance is to develop a program to meet the needs of all students.

He said the Vietnamization policy, in which local forces take over the war as Americans leave, was "a political hoax designed to screen from the American people the bankruptcy of a needless military involvement in the affairs of the Vietnamese people."
Scott pleaded with the committee to back Nixon and relieve Hanoi of "the delusion that American people are divided about this war." He portrayed Nixon as trapped in a "net of fishhooks" which he must unhook one by one.
Looking closer to the future, Chalmers concluded by saying he did not anticipate any major disruptions this spring but did not rule out possible peaceful demonstrations. He said, "A lot of it has to do with our country's connection to the war in Vietnam."
