Birth control clinic closes
The board of directors of the Douglas County chapter of Planned Parenthood met Tuesday to decide its future course.
The Planned Parenthood clinic, $1035\frac{1}{2}$ Massachusetts, closed Jan. I because it could not provide adequate services to its numerous patients. The clinic was designed to serve low income persons in the community but was being used almost exclusively by KU coeds.
Mrs. Darrell Duby, chapter director, said board members felt services comparable to those offered by Planned Parenthood should be provided for KU coeds by Watkins Hospital. At present, Watkins provides counseling to anyone, and distributes contraceptive devices to coeds who are married or about to be married.
The board decided to provide information concerning contraceptive methods and devices in the form of a leaflet which will probably be distributed through the Dean of Men's and Dean of Women's Offices. The leaflets will tell where birth control counseling and devices can be obtained in Douglas County.
"The board feels it is vitally important that this information be made available to college students," Mrs. Duby said.
Planned Parenthood also plans to distribute information on abortion in a separate publication. Plans for re-opening the clinic will be announced later.
Donations to the Planned Parenthood Association can be sent to the Kansas City chapter, $332_{1/2}$ Troost, Kansas City, Missouri, Mrs. Duby said.
Patients of the clinic have been referred to a private physician or to the Lawrence Public Health Department. Dale L. Clinton, physician for the Public Health Department said devices and information are available to anyone over 18 at the department clinic Monday through Friday. Medical examinations are not required but will be given if requested. Dr. Clinton said coeds are referred to Watkins Hospital for medical examinations.

Leonard Harrison
The Kansas Board of Regents which met Jan. 25 discussed Harrison's position as consulting lecturer to Herman D. Lujan, associate professor of political science, and whether a man with a court conviction should be a lecturer.
Leonard Harrison, director of the Ballard Community Center said Tuesday the controversy over his teaching of Political Science 164 has been over played.
Controversy 'overplayed'
"The real question," Harrison said, "deals with academic freedom. Black people can not allow white America to determine who has black experience. The blacks are not hung up on credentials."

In regard to blacks today and in the future, Harrison said blacks have become more unified than ever before.
At first, Harrison was to be paid
Harrison, born in Enid, Okla., attended Central State College and Phillips University. He lived in Wichita where he worked in the poverty program. Upon moving to Lawrence, he became assistant director of the Ballard Center and now is the director.

Interest rates remain at high levels in Kansas
Interest rates will probably remain at high levels, and the resulting changes in the supply and demand for loanable funds will continue to have its greatest impact on the real estate market, said a recent issue of Kansas Business Review.
Gaumnitz said "in periods of rapid economic growth, the trade-off between debt and equity swings heavily in favor of equity. In order to compensate for the shift, debt instruments have to offer the creditor a higher rate of return."
Prof. Jack Gaumnitz of the University of Kansas School of Business said institutions which are normally lenders of capital are seeking more compensation through higher interest rates and equity participation in addition to the basic loan agreement.

"I'm sorry for my sins. I don't have 48 missile bases. I don't have any of that stuff. I can't seem to get anywhere in the United States. I am calling my career to an end. The world isn't ready for me. it's too greedy."
He also claimed to have made a record so controversial that RCA would not release it.
"Because of their relatively low interest yield, real estate loans are not good investments for banks at this time, Gaummitz said. This means that insurance and savings and loan companies must be depended on to finance housing.
Because insurance companies have little incentive to invest in single family housing due to the low interest yield, they are investing more in large commercial apartment projects where the yield is higher.
This leaves the savings and loan institutions alone in the single family housing market with the net effect of a sharp decline in the number of single housing units constructed, said Gaumnitz.
