Blast rocks KC arain elevator
KANASAS CITY, Mo.—An explosion rocked a grain elevator in North Kansas at last night, hospitalizing at least six persons and causing an unrestricted evacuation of the area.
The explosion occurred at about 11:10 p.m. on the west side of the ADM Milling Co. elevator, about two miles north of downtown.
About 30 people were in the plant when the explosion occurred during a thunderstorm, but all were accounted for. Rowkin said.
Four persons were listed in aerosis to critical condition at North Kansas City Memorial Hospital and two were in fair condition, according to Ron Fugate, a nurse.
Two of the critically injured, Dale Compton, 22, and John Parker, 39, were scheduled to be transferred to the University of Kansas Medical Center in Brooklyn.
Hometowns of the injured were not available
Jeffrey Poseet, 30, and Donald LeFridige, 44, were listed in critical condition in the intensive care unit. Thomas Hake, 21, and Russell S. Berry, 22, were in
Tanzanian jets attack Kampala
NAHMOH, Tanzanian-tainan troops attacked the Ugandan capital of Kampala with jet fighters yesterday, launching the fiercest rocket and artillery strikes over the capital.
The advancing Tanzanians were greeted by people dancing in the streets, but troops loyal to Amin were still firing artillery at the invaders from the town's
The attack came after a night of shelling by Tanzanian forces who were south of the city. The Tanzanians have been advancing since defeating some of them.
Residents of Kampala said government offices were vacant following the attack. The attack yesterday was termed by residents of Kampala as the final assault on the city.
Teamsters reach agreement
WASHINGTON - The Teamsters union and the trucking industry reached a tentative agreement late yesterday on a new contract to immediately end a 10-year strike.
Earlier yesterday, sources said several non-economic issues were standing in the way of agreement on a three-year contract.
The mediator, Wayne L. Horvitz, said procedures for returning at 235,000 Teamsters to work would be started within 24 hours, ending the longest trucking
The dispute has crippled the automobile industry, which has laid off nearly 91,000 workers and placed another $7,000 on short shifts because of parts availability.
The shutdown has had only minimal impact elsewhere in the economy. But government officials have said serious economic disruptions could begin if the government cuts funding.
Columbus collision investigated
COLUMBUS-A federal investigator has joined railroad officials in investigating yesterday's collision of two freight trains that killed a conductor and forced the evacuation of about 500 residents in Columbus, a small town south of Pittsburg.
Residents, who had fled their homes when a fire started near a tank car filled with ammonium nitrate, returned to the town about three hours later.
An official of the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway said his crew was apparently at fault when a Missouri-Kansas Texas freight crashed into the rear of a truck.
Authentics estimated damage to the two trains at more than $100,000. Several cars on the two trains dalled, but the tracks were expected to be open to traffic.
Fiery store traps shoppers
BUCHAREST, Romania—a Fire trapped hundreds of Easter holiday shops in Bucharest's oldest department store Monday. Unconfirmed reports said a man had been stabbed inside the building.
There was no official word on fatalities caused by the blaze. Witnesses said they saw people jumping from third-story windows and many ambulances that were not there.
The official Romanian news agency, Agerpres, did not mention the fire in its newscasts for foreign subscribers yesterday.
A commission appointed to determine the cause of the fire said it started because of welding work being done on the store's second and third floor. The fire quickly spread through merchandise and melted some metal fixtures with its intense heat.
Israel bombs Palestinian bases
TEL AIVI, Israel—Israeli jets, flying their first war mission since peace was made with Egypt, bombed Palestinian bases yesterday in retaliation for a demonstration of US military aggression.
The Israeli said the planes hit Damascus, a guerrilla base near the southern part of Tyre. The Palestinian Liberation Organization said the raids were a sign of aggression.
The explosion in the open-air market, crowded with shoppers, killed one Israeli man and wounded 33 other persons, eight of them seriously, authorities
In addition to the bombing attacks, other problems arose in the new peace between Israel and Egypt. The Egyptians ruled out a speedy opening of borders, and two Israeli cabinet ministers postponed trips to Cario in apparent anger over what Israel considered to be a provocative Egyptian statement.
Carter urges fuel exploration
WASHINGTON-President Carter said yesterday that he favored government action, if necessary, to require oil companies to explore for new petroleum and gas supplies with the money they would receive from decontrolled oil prices.
Carter said that even if Congress enacted his proposed oil profits tax, the oil companies would receive a net profit increase of $6 billion during the next three years.
He also said proposals to stop the oil companies from owning competing energy sources, such as coal mines, should be explored.
The president said nuclear power could not be rued out as a form of energy, despite the accident at Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island nuclear plant.
Nuclear gauges may be faulty
But Carter said that the nation must expand its use of coal and that he would urge Congress to approve a bill that Commission on Coal, to hold hearings to find ways to substitute coal for oil and
WASHINGTON - Forty-two nuclear power plants have been notified that they have pressure gauges that could give faulty readings during an accident like the one at Three Mile Island, the chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said yesterday.
Joseph M. Hendrie, the NRC chairman, made his remarks to a Senate nuclear regulation subcommittee.
A House subcommittee also investigating the nuclear accident voted 6-2 to止隔泵 tape recordings and transcripts of all closed-door meetings by the House subcommittee.
The chairman of the House committee, Rep. Anthony Moffett, D-Conn., said the NRC was illegally withholding information needed in the committee's investigation of the accident—one of nine congressional inquiries on the accident that have been started.
Weather...
It will be cloudy today with a 90 percent chance of light rain, according to the National Weather Services. Winds will be northwesterly, 10 to 20 mph. The low pressure system will bring a drop in temperature.
LA&S drop policy retained
By MARK W. GATES
The College Assembly has voted to retain an current drop policy in the College of Liberal Arts.
Staff Reporter
The members of the College Assembly, a representative body for the College, voted by mail ballot at more than a 3 to 1 margin to keep the drop policy.
The policy allows a student to withdraw from a course at any time during the first seven weeks of classes by signing a drop slip in the department office.
After the seventh week of classes, a student may withdraw from a course only by petitioning the College. The petitions are on Undergraduate Studies and Advising.
If a course is dropped during the first four weeks of classes, it is deleted from the student's transcript. During weeks five through seven, a "W" is recorded on the

The previous drop policy for the College was the University drop policy. Each school may establish its own drop policy, but it cannot be as stringent as the University policy.
Under the University policy, a student may withdraw from a course without penalty until the 12th week of classes. There are usually two ways to petition for withdrawal after that time.
The purpose of the policy is to reduce the number of drops and to discourage students from enrolling in more classes than they need. The College is also an important member of the College, said yesterday.
The College policy was implemented on an experimental basis in fall 1977 and was revised in the fall of 1983.

the College. When the current policy was adopted in fall 1977, there were 2,882 drops
There were 292 votes for retaining the policy, 31 votes opposing one abstention and 8 votes for not retaining.
Reaction by faculty to the retention of policy was favorable.
Ernest Angino, chairman of the geology department, said he voted to retain the
Those sentiments were eched by Thurston Moore, chairman of the bureau.
"The previous policy was a joke," he said.
"Some of the students were playing games with it. The current one should be tightened up, but I can live with it."
Chinese tale of young love to be acted out in Spencer
"I THINK there has been a genuine improvement," Richard Himes, chairman of the biochemistry department, said. "I was always opposed to the policy where students were allowed to drop at the end of the semester."
"The Western Chamber," the second part of the museum's program on Calliope, muse of the epic poem, is directed by Nai ha 'tung, China, graduate student in theater.
A Chinese folk tale about young love will be acted on tonight and tomorrow night at 8 in the central court of the Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art.
"The next thing the University needs to do is establish a stricter University-wide drop policy," he said. "Because the College of Engineering is the largest part of KU, this new policy is a big step. But the drop policy still should be improved by making it stricter. I would train more engineers."
"It is the story of a young scholar who, on the way to the capital city, stops in a temple and meets a young girl," she said. "They get acquainted, they grow up, they approve and try to end their love." The
mail servant of the girl helps them over-come her wishes."
Tung said the entire play, which was written in verse, took about five hours to perform, so she had chosen what she saw as the most interesting segment of the play.
Tung designed and constructed the costumes for the five cast members. Her work on the play is part of her master's decree work.
on aspects of rape. Included in the rally will be speakers on the treatment and support of rape victims, campus and neighborhood self-defense and the psychology of rape.
Tung also said tapes of music from a production in Taiwan would be used.
Other groups participating in the rally will be the Rape Victim Support Services, the Emily Taylor Women's Resource and the Women's Transitional Care Services, the Women's Transitional Care Services.
Andrew Tsubaki, associate professor of theater and East Asian studies, will lead a discussion following the performances, which are sponsored by the International Theatre Studies Center and the department of East Asian studies.
"The style is pretty close to the original," she said. "The set is very simple and uses tables and chairs to represent everything from mountains to furniture."
She said she had tried to stage the play as it would be done in China.
Anti-rape rally date moved
A rally against rape, previously scheduled for May 2, has been rescheduled from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. May 4 in the area between Dyche Hall and the Kansas Union.
The rally is being sponsored by the Women's Coalition.
At a meeting last night in the Jayhawk Room in the Union, Coition members were arrested for drug possession.

Women's group given allocation
Funding for the Women's Coalition sparked the most debate in otherwise smooth Student Senate budget hearings last night.
Despite a question raised by some senators as to whether the Coalition duplicated services of the Commission on Women, the Coalition was allocated $755.
The Commission on the Status of Women was allocated $1,335.06 in Monday's Senatemental meeting.

Steve Cramer, Nunemaker 4 senator,
suggested that the Senate send the bill to
the Finance and Auditing Committee for
consideration of duplication of services.
However, Melanie Anderson, business senator and Senate Services Committee cochairman, said the two groups differed structurally.
The Senate voted not to consider the possibility of duplication of services, and requested that the House make a report.
THE SENATE also decided to take $2,296.04 in additional funding for the Culture Committee allocations from the 1979 budget and to make its money left over from previous funds.
George Gomez, student body vice president, told the Senate it could vote to reconsider the allocation at tonight's budget hearings.
The Culture Committee had decided that it would have to exceed its allocation of $9,625.17 by the additional amount to fund its organizations.
The Senate decided not to fund KU Students for a Radioactive-free Kansas on the grounds that it was a politically-oriented organization.

It also voted to fund nine organizations. The organizations and their alliances are:
