Egypt regains portion of Sinai
BHIR NASSEE, Egypt — egypt resumed daily activity of a 75-mile long strip of Sinai territory which had been controlled by Israel since the 1967 invasion.
Military bands from both countries played their national anthems during a brief ceremony marking the second part of the five-part withdrawal from Iraq.
The region's only residents are about 4,000 Bedouin Arabs, who observed the transfer ceremony from a platform nearby.
The mandate of the United Nations Emergency Force, which has kept U.N. soldiers stationed in the Sinai since 1974, expired yesterday morning. A U.N. spokesman said it would take six weeks before the 4,000 peacekeeping troops would be able to leave.
House may approve rationing
WASHINGTON - The House moved toward almost certain approval of a new standby gasoline rationing bill yesterday, but first agreed to give the president authority to override.
The House approved a recommendation to allow the president to invoke rationing only if fuel supplies dropped 20 percent or more during a 30-day period.
The legislation would reverse a House vote two and a half months ago against a similar rationing bill.
The White House had hoped the House would reduce or eliminate the 20 percent requirement.
Under the new proposal, Carter could also impose federal fuel-saving plans in states which do not meet specified federal energy conservation targets.
Carter defends tax. Cabinet
WASHINGTON—President Carter appealed last night to the American people to help in winning passage of the windfall profits tax on the oil industry and warned that if the proposal is defeated "we cannot reach our energy goals."
At a nationally televised news conference, Carter forecast "a massive struggle to gut the windfall profits tax bill" in the Senate.
He also defended the rapid-fire changes in his Cabinet and said the authority of White House chief staff Hamilton Jordan would not extend beyond the period.
Carter said a House action earlier in the evening that halted debate on legislation giving Carter standby authority to ration gasoline "illustrates the need for a bill that would force state lawmakers to vote."
Carter also criticized a Republican proposal for an election year tax cut, saying a tax cut in times of rampant inflation would be an inappropriate action.
Gas prices continue increase
TOPEKA-The AAA Automobile Club reported yesterday that one grade of gasoline - full-service premium unleaded - was averaging more than $1 a gallon.
Prices on all grades of gasoline increased an average of 1.4 cents a gallon for full-service during the last week, while the prices for self-service went up an average of nine-tenths of a cent. The price of diesel fuel also climbed nine-tenths of a cent during the last week.
Lyle Goltz, fuel coordinator of the Kansas Energy Office, said the office had allocated all of the 1.9 million gallon supply of diesel fuel for July to help flush the wheat harvest. He said the state's 6.96 million gallon gasoline supply would be exhausted by late tomorrow.
Another DC-10 has problems
CLEVELAND—A United Airlines DC-10 with 172 passengers aboard made a safety emergency landing yesterday at its right wing engine failure, an airplane crash.
Jim Guyette, a United official, said Flight No. 4 from Los Angeles to Newark,
N.J., land safely at about 4 p.m. at Cleveland's Hopkins International Airport.
Guyette said the defective engine would be removed today and sent to a maintenance team in San Francisco.
The emergency landing came 12 days after the Federal Aviation Administration allowed DC-10s to return to the air after a 37-day grounding.
Carter draws mixed reaction
NEW YORK—An Associated Press-NBC News Poll indicates that more Americans approve than disapprove of President Carter's Cabinet changes but that the overall public attitude about recent events in Washington is not favorable toward Carter.
Thirty-nine percent of the 803 adults interviewed said they approved of the changes, 21 percent they disapproved and 22 percent were not sure.
Fourth-three percent said they thought the switches were made to enhance Carter's chances for re-election.
Nearly half said the Cabinet changes were made too hastily and would not mean improvement in the government.
Bundy awaits iudae's decision
MIAMI—Theodore R. Buny, who was found guilty late Tuesday of murder and forgery, is jailed for a sequestration agency security in Miami after awaited sentencing yesterday by juries to death.
Bundy, a 39-year-old law school dropout, was convicted of attacking three other women Jan. 15, 1978, the same morning the sorely slaying occurred.
In the Chia Omega murders, Liza Levy, 20, and Margaret Bowman, 21, were strangled with pantyhose. Levy was bitten on the buttocks and breasts and died from shock.
Under Florida law, Bundy's prosecutors can offer "aggravating circumstances" as evidence in the penalty phase of his murder trial that could not be excluded.
Prosecutors are expected to bring up Bundy's conviction for a 179 kidnapin in salt Lake City and his two jail escapes in Colorado, where he faces trial for the 179 murder of a Michigan nurse. Bundy also is accused of murdering 12-year-old Kimberly Leake of Lake City, Fla., in February 1978.
It will be clear today and tonight with afternoon temperatures in the upper 80s, but high Friday is expected to be in the 90s and partly clouded skies are expected.

Campus mail not always efficient
By VALERIE HOWARD
If a piece of campus mail is dropped in an outgoing campus mail slot in the morning, it may be delivered that very afternoon, a "cent survey showed.
Staff Renorter
However, there seems to be a small chance that the letter could be lost and not be retrieved.
Last week, the Kansan made a check of the KU campus mailing system by sending 106 pieces of mail from different points on campus to the Intl Hall. In half a day, 62 had been received.
But as the survey findings continued, it was obvious that there were bugs in the system.
On the second day 29 envelopes arrived at Fint, and six pieces were returned for more complete addresses. Two pieces of mail occurred to the system and were not delivered.
Dave Hanson, assistant director for communications and transportation, facilities operations, said that he was pleased to hear of the system's efficient speed, but that he also was aware of its problems.
"THE SYSTEM IS self-checking. One of the best ways we have of keeping an eye on the system is the delivery of paychecks," he said. "I know we would be notified if a check was missing, and in the years I’ve been here we have not been accountable for any losses."
Hanson said people called his office with complaints, but that the problems could be traced to mismarked envelopes or problems with intra-office mailing.
He said that when checks were not delivered, the errors had been traced to the system.
HANSON SAID THAT one reason for the problems was that mail was sometimes not deposited in the pick up places and could not be picked up on a run.
Lori Hyt, campus mail supervisor, said that sometimes there were mistakes in the mail.
"The campus mail is a scapegoat and that is my biggest frustration." he said.
"We throw the mail into these boxes that are in order," she said. "It takes quite a while to memorize them, and even then you might accidently throw it in the wrong one."
OTHER ERRORS can be traced to the persons sending campus mail. Hyaat said there were several problems with people mailing ambiguous envelopes.
"The federal mail has the same problems. You can't deliver mail with ambiguous names, incomplete addresses, or strange abbreviations."
Just as in any service job, customers must allow for some human error. "And so many of the names of the departments and offices are so similar." Hvat said.
Hanson said the addressing of campus mail envelopes was a big problem.
"People simply put 'Rosie Blake,' or they
"in cases like that we have the authority to open the mail to find clues for delivery. If we want to send a letter to discard, Last year we found an email in a letter in one such letter. We could not deliver or return it, but it was really hard because course it wasn't true campus mail either."
will use undistinguishable abbreviations like 'Sam-SJ.' It's hard to know," Hanson said, "which department Roeil without a label is the one that SJ stands for the Journal of Schoolism.
True campus mail, Hanson said, is defined in a 1978 directive to all departments and users of the KU campus mail room, and should be on file in those offices.
"Only official correspondence relating directly to academic or to staff activities and programs is authorized to be handled by the campus mail system," he said.
HANSON SAID that the Kansan had not been in compliance with these rules.
In the past, the mail service has had a problem with persons using the mail for a personal messenger service to execute individual obligations, such as returning library books or delivering refunds for vending machines, he said.
"We have also had a problem with invitations to private parties, chain letters or emails." Just recently, an airline company tried to convince me that their advertisements would be a service, but we cannot use them for support of commercial enterprise.
THE CONSEQUENCES for misuse of the system vary, Hanson said.
"Usually if something is discovered we just throw it away, but if there was a threat, or something with legal implications, we would have to report it," the University attorney, "Hanson said."
"If the system was not abused we would be much more efficient." Hytet said. "It would be much more efficient."
She said she had estimated this just from the mail they discovered.
"We really don't have time to look for suspicious mail, and if it is correctly addressed to a legitimate office things can just slip through," she said.
If something is thrown into the wrong department, the campus mail workers do not know until they receive a message from the irate sender that his letter has not arrived.
"Sometimes the wrong department receives some mail and just sends it back without a note. We continue to send it to them and the cycle could just go on forever," Hyat said. "We need to know when there are problems."
Hanson said the cost of the service was minimal and cost per item was extremely
"We pay the salaries for the five workers,
we have a Rabbit car and a budget of $500

for repairs, office supplies and any other items we need," he said. "The taxpayers really don't have a heavy burden with this system."
The system is based on mail routes that have been formulated through the years.
"The mailing routes, or runs, have evolved from experience rather than any coordinated effort. However, they are pretty efficient. If we are a short a person, we can split up the territory and still go on and deliver," he said.
Hfyat said that the routes were considered 'runs' because the mail workers had to go from office to office to pick up departmental mallings.
WE SERVE ALMOST 250 offices, although we do not deliver to each of them," she said. "There is really no way to count the number of stops or the amount of mail because we don't have time to stop the system."
She said that the number of offices used as delivery points fluctuated.
"We are always getting calls from various offices asking us to start delivery or to stop." Hya said. "Some offices use their hiaas to pick up and deliver mail to our office."
The campus mail is only delivered by Hyat's workers on the main Lawrence campus. The rest of the mail for the University of Kansas Medical Center and other areas is taken to the Chancellor's office, she said.
The campus mail system employs three full-time clerks and two KU students.
"Each of us has the same responsibilities." Hyaat said. "We each take on a big run in the car and minor ones on foot, and then we sort the mail from those trips."
She said that they made two trips by moss
and four trips through Strong Hall every day.
