Enrollment . . .
From page one
KENNETH Anderson, professor of administration, foundations and higher education, predicted in a report for the legislative educational planning committee that the number of Kansas high school students in 1970 to about 23,000 in 1980.
The report says KU enrollment will fall by more than 1,000 students in the next five years, and KU's enrollment for next fall is expected to be 22,464.
The KU administration last fall submitted a projection of 1977 fall enrollment of 22,756 to the legislature. Dyck said the actual fall enrollment probably would be close to that figure.
Dyck said estimated enrollment figures, which are established by the University to help the legislature plan future budget goals, had been fairly accurate in the past.
However, enrollment in fall 1976 exceeded the projections by 558 full time equivalency students, and KU had to ask the legislature for permission to spend the $1.4 million in
fees collected from the extra students. Gov. Robert Bennett cut most of the request, and so far the legislature hasn't restored the far
Dyck said he was optimistic about next year's enrollment.
"I'd have to be optimistic," he said.
"Applications have held up and the reputation of the University has had no major problems."
RECENT PUBLICITY on marijuana use at KU and on the Integrated Humanities Program probably wouldn't greatly affect enrollment. Dyck said.
In the past, KU enrollment has been adversely affected by campus events, such as the Kansas Union fire in spring 1707 and a series of rages in spring 1794. he said.
"Students are the best recruiters for the University," Dyck said, "because they are going to go home and tell their friends how to get there." Students and friends are going to tell their friends."
Dyck said the administration needed to keep the students happy" to indirectly bring it about.

Randy McKernan, Salina junior, said the allocation would almost allege the unallocated fund, leaving a limited amount of money for student organizations requesting additional funding from the Senate in November.

Senate . . .
Leben said the allocation needed to be passed now to allowed improvements to be made.
"This bill would provide us immediate improvements, and students will begin to see an immediate return on their activity fees," Leben said.
He added that money would be available to fall Senate allocation because an extra $10 million from the Controlled Reserve Fund, About $14,000 was allocated to student organizations last fall, was used.
The motion to send the bill to the Sports Committee for study was defeated and the committee voted to keep it.
"This is a significant change in the priorities of the Student Senate and making the intramural program our No.1 priority is a good step right now." Leben said.
He said the passage of the resolution calling for an end to funding of the women's intercollegiate program after this year was a notice to the University and the state that the Senate wouldn't be responsible for the University in compliance with Title IX.
The Sports Committee previously had approved the women's block allocation of $3,405 for this year. The Senate approved a $1 million alternative funding would have been available.
Tide IX, which will go into effect July 21, 1978, will require that there be no sex discrimination in University sports programs. Leben said the administration interpreted this to mean equal opportunity for college athletes in funding of nonrevenue producing sports.
"We need to tell the University that we won't fund the program any more," Leben said. "The University is now deciding its budget and priorities for fiscal year 1979 and we should tell them it needs to be a high priority item."
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) - Patricia Hearst's attorneys said they would offer oral arguments today, asking a federal appellate court to throw out her bank robbery conviction on grounds her trial judge—now dead—made crucial errors.

Ralph Munyan, student body vice president, said the revenue code stated that all block allocations must receive funding by April 30, so the women's program could receive the allocation without presenting a line-itemed budget.
In reviewing the Sports Committee budget, Sam Zweifel, graduate student senator, presented a motion asking that the allocation for the women's intercollegiate program be held in escrow on its group provided a line item breakdown on its request.
In other action, the Senate passed a petition requesting Chancellor Archie Dykes to seckBoard of Regents approval for a $1 increase in Kansas Union fees.

The bill states that StudEx members will be removed from that committee after four months of reelection.
The petition to the University Council stated that if student members of the council had either two unexcused absences or four absences of any kind, they would be suspended from the council. The suspended student would one week to appeal the suspension to StudFax.
Zweifel's motion was defeated.
The additional revenue would be used for added operational and maintenance costs.
Officials, striking teachers dispute school attendance
KANSAS CITY, No. (UPI)-School officials said most of the city's 30,000 elementary students attended classes yesterday in 67 reopened schools, but the striking teachers union said less than half of the students appeared.
Norman Hudson, president of the Kansas City Federation of Teachers, said board president James Lyddon testified in Jackson County Circuit Court that he acted as chairman of the board earlier the board's negotiating team wouldn't meet further with the teachers.
Hudson also said Lyddon admitted acting on his own in sending to the Service Employees Union Local "threatening" jobs for teachers they considered job for honoring teachers' picket lines.
"The intimidating, harrassing threats of the school board chairman are without official substance and reflect his cynical view of the professional employees and their responsibilities to which they have been subjected by the district and the courts," Hudson said.

a Parable
by Plinio Correa de Oliveira
A psychiatrist has been interrogating a man for a long time in his office without coming to an agreement.
Yes, doctor. He's absolutely crary. And I can tell you he's very scared. He's been up and awake, while the doctor listened, half skeptical and half bored.
"Then, sir, you still insist your brother is crazy?" the weary doctor reopened.
"Come now, none of what you've been telling me is really very conclusive. Some of your facts could have a very normal
The distressed man made a final plea: "Doctor, please,
just give me five more minutes to tell you this one last thing."
explanation. Others are a bit strange. But realistically speaking, they could be explained by a certain nervous tension, caused possibly by the state of his business or home affairs. He is clearly and indisputably demonstrates a state of imbalance.
And with the acquiescence of the doctor, this little narration began. Let the reader sit in the psychiatrist's seat, feel at ease and trust that he will be a safe guide.
"my brother, doctor, lives in a house, all run-down,
'd itrettess Farm X, which belongs to the richman
"Now the rich man didn't want to waste time on a petty problem like this, since time is money, as you know. So he decided to settle this domestic squabbling as quickly as he could, and he went to see my brother.
"Inconstolens because he's not rich too, my brother began to harass his powerful neighbor. He stirred up trouble among his neighbor's servants. Then he organized a kind of strike of the workers against their employer.
"Now, doctor, you imagine, I'm sure, that he told his lawyers to threaten my brother and denounce him to the police as a subservient, or that he did something to him to stop his troublemaking once and for all.
"But no, by no means. The rich man offered my brother loans with easy terms so he could fix up his ugly, old house, and properly clothe his hungry and tiltily children and begin to spend their money on the things that bad. Evidently the rich man thought that if he invested a little of his capital, repayable in an undefined period and at least free himself from the annoyance of his bothersome neighbor.
"Obviously, the offer should have calmed my brother enough to allow me to pay his money. Then, right away, he used it to make free trouble neighbor. He did everything he could to prolong the agitation on his neighbor's property and to continue spreading lies against him."
"Now, doctor, what do you think of such a contradiction? He hated the man because he was rich while he was poor. Yet the man was giving him the means to stop being poor, and not getting any money. How could like any same person would, he attacks his benefactor."
least that's how we interpreted the continuous flow of revolvers into the little farm, where the house and children were.
"As you can imagine, there were lots of people that told all this to the rich man. And being a sensible man, he thought that he needed to do more for my brother—that the money would be enough to calm the envy and hatred that were boiling in my brother."
"But madness, as you know better than I do, has its own rules. Seeing that the more he smiles, the less rich he is, the less he gets, my poor brother went right on increasing his infrigues, equipment and plans of aggression. It's all clear - at least in the head of a crazy man."
"But we couldn't believe our eyes when we saw that with the generous grants of the rich man, my poor, demented brother was setting up nothing more than a shop to produce homemade weapons and explosives. My brother, doctor, wanted to invade the rich man's farm. He wanted to break the good benefactor, which would stop this rich source of credit, and could have used to get out of his misery—out of the very misery that was the first cause of his hatred for the rich man.
"Now, would you do that doctor? To someone who had made you friendly loans to remodel your office and home? To someone who had supplied your pharmacy with medicines and even bought you a new car?"
"Tell me now, doctor, is my brother crazy or not?"
I ask you, reader, in the position of the doctor, what would opinion be? Would you consider that scheming farmer craftsman?
At any rate, you are not the psychiatrist, and neither am I. So let's see what the reaction of the doctor was.
Exasperated and fed up, he rose, putting an end to the challenge. Getting reprimanded, he asked the gaping man why not give him a chance to breathe. He's just a dye-in-the-wool soufreer, who is exploiting that good natured rich tap. The rich man is the crazy man of your own generation, and that's how he thinks about his job.
champion of naivete. For your age, you must be mentally retarded.
"Now, either you get out of here right away, or I'll have you locked up for psychiatric examinations—because it's impossible to be of sound mind, and at the same time, as naive as you."
The story ends with the poor man fleeing for the elevator, when he reached the street, he calmed down a little, scratched his head and shouted, "I'm going to eat these more nuts in this world every day. My brother is crazy. I see this doctor isn'tlar from it. Why, the only sensible man in this world."
I remembered this story when I was reading in the next time ago that a certain Patolichev, minister of Russian Federation, told me that he would then give the secretary of the U.S. Treasury, that Russia would give up the North American market if their commercial balance was in the United States of old go ahead soon. The "good natured" State would be flouted. Fluence Congress to put an end to the obstacles that still exist for an increase of commercial relations between the two countries and let us off from our country the "threat" made by this Patolichev.
Reader, what is your opinion? In all this, who is the crazy man?
At the same time, wires reported that Soviet submarines posted in the Bering Sea near the Kola Peninsula can, at this moment, quite easily devastate the Atlantic Coast of the United States with nuclear bombs, wiping out all of New York, for example. However, there is not the least sign that, should they be attacked, the threat will diminish. According to the "logic" of "detente," they should even increase, in efforts to put a final stop to Soviet irritability.
Is there, reader, any connection between these reports and the story that went before them?
If there is, I ask you: who is the madman?
Who do you think the crazy man is? Your comments are invited.
