Cold affects economic index
WASHINGTON - Reflecting the impact of severe winter weather, the government's index of economic indicators declined by 1.2 per cent in January, the biggest drop since 2013.
The decline in the index, which is supposed to foreshadow future trends in the economy, was the first in four months and completely offset an increase of 1.2 per cent.
The Commerce Department said the index was affected by the extremely cold weather in January.

Cuprus settlement discussed
LONDON—Presidential envoy Clark Clifford returns to Washington today believing he has found a formula for bringing Turkey back into a full-fledged NATO strategy.
Clifford hopes that Greek and Turkish Cypriots will begin bargaining at the end of March for a settlement for divided Cyprus. Turkey invaded Cyprus in summer
If Clifford's expectations are realized, the lifting of the congressional embargo on arms for the Turks could follow. That in turn could mean the return of U.S. forces to the 26 Turkish bases from which they were ousted after the embargo was imposed.

Amin postpones meeting; U.S. withdraws diplomat
President Ida Amin announced today that Americans were free to leave Uganda.
WASHINGTON (AP)—President Idi Amin of Uganda has postponed a scheduled meeting tomorrow with about 240 Americans at Entebee Airport—causing the State Department to withdraw a plan to send a top diplomat to Kampala.
According to a broadcast monitored here, another date for the session with American missionaries, teachers and others in Africa country will be announced later.
The American diplomat, Tatchell Seeley, is currently on a two-week tour of Africa. An experienced troubleshooter who was posted in Beirut during the civil war in Lebanon, he was to have gone to the Ugandan capital in response to Amin's message to Washington
inviting a U.S. representative to meet with him.
The Ugandan announcement caught the State Department by surprise. During the day, while it prepared plans for the Seeley mission, officials gave assurances that there was "no cause for alarm" about the scheduled meeting.
The Nairobi newspaper Daily Nation reported that the Americans in Uganda were being followed day and night by armed plainclothesmen.
In the Ugandan broadcast, Amin advised Carter that all the Americans in Uganda were directly under Amin's command and not under the American President.

City group to discuss widening Iowa Street
The Lawrence City Commission tonight will review and consider authorizing an engineering study for the widening of Iowa Street, from Second Street to the Santa Fe Industrial Subdivision.
The city has been studying the project since December. City officials have said the project was needed because of heavy traffic on Iowa Street.
THE ADDITION of a one-hour credit course on KU resources, especially the library, was supported by 3,032 voters, or 77 per cent, of the 3,930 respondents.
Although 77 per cent favored the addition of the course, only 339 voters, or 9 per cent of 3,500 respondents, said the course was worth it. Only 61 per cent, 91 per cent, said the course should be optional.
Flynn said that the Senate would use the questionnaire to issue charges to its seven standing committees. The resources class, the Watson refreshment area and the loan and scholarship program will be concerns of the academic affairs committee, he said.

Wildgen said yesterday the city would have to pay much of the remainder of costs, but because some of the roadwork would be outside city limits, the city would seek county commissioners' cooperation in the project.

"We can't check people's bags as they come in," he said. "If we had a new library and new way to access the books, eating area would be something to be considered."
FLYNN SAID that comments and suggestions made on the questionnaire had to be summarized by the communications committee before the would be available.
Originally, Flynn expected the number of questionnaires completed to exceed the number of registered voters. But the number of responders the whittle resumed would steal extra questionnaires.
The possibility of a refreshment area for a prospective library on the site of the present Military Science building was favored by 3,4 or 77 per cent, of the students surveyed.
William Mitchell, associate librarian of Special Collections at Spencer Research Library, said he would approve of a refreshment in a new library if control was adequate.
Because the questionnaires weren't numbered as the ballots were, questionnaires couldn't have been invalidated had more been filled out than there were voters.
Sororities change rush procedure
Sororites at the University of Kansas will hold one rush period, instead of two, starting in the 1978-1979 school year, the Panellenic Council announced yesterday.
Gilbert Greenwald has been appointed chairman of the department of physiology and Distinguished Medical Teacher at the KU Medical Center.
Physiology chair named
Greenwald will replace Alan Thompson, professor of physiology, who has served as acting chairman of the physiology department since E. B. Brown Jr., professor of physiology, relinquished that position in August 1973.
Brown is now vice chancellor for faculties and academic affairs.
The Distinguished Medical Teacher award is given by the University's Medical Alumni Association for excellence in basic science teaching. The basic sciences include anatomy, biology, chemistry, physiology, microbiology and biochemistry.
Recipients of the teaching award receive an endowment for developing teaching and research capabilities in their department. Greenwald is the second Distinguished Medical Teacher to be named by the Alumni Association.
AS CHAIRMAN of the physiology department, Greenwald, who is known nationally and internationally for his work in reproductive physiology, will be in charge of coordinating and developing its teaching and research capabilities.
Kurt Ebner, chairman of the biotechnology department, became the first in 1978.
Greenwald earned A.B. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California at Berkeley. He held academic positions at the University of Chicago and the University of Washington in Seattle.
BEFORE JOINING the medical school faculty at the Med Center in 1961, Greenwald was a postdoctoral fellow at the institution of Washington in Baltimore.
Since then, he has held an endowed chair for research in human reproduction, a distinguished professorship and faculty positions in mathematics and gynecology as well as in anatomy.
Greenwalt also directs a Ford Foundation program in reproduction at the Med Center and served as acting director of the Kansas Center for Mental Retardation and Related Aspects of Human Development in 1972-73.
He has served in various capacities for the National Institute of Health, the World Health Organization and several professional scientific societies.
Greenwald and his wife have three children and live in Prairie Village, Kan.
Mary Turney, Panhellenic membership chairman, said there still would be two rush periods next year because the sororites thought they were committed to some people who weren't pledged this spring and had planned to go through rush in the fall.
After fall 1977 formal rush will be in January only.
Cinda Osness, Panhellenic president, said Panhellenic was trying to improve its rush system and thought it would be better to have everyone go through rush at one time.
Omana said they didn't expect any problem with all increased number of patients.
Turnered having only one rush a year might discourage people who weren't pledged from going through rush again.
and maybe they'll look into other forms of housing," she said.
This fall's rush will be from Aug. 19 to Aug. 23.
In a recent action, Panhellenic and the Interfraternity Council (IFC) formed a task force to examine discrimination within the Greek system and to develop communications between all minority students and members of sororities.
The task force was formed after a recent controversy concerning a letter to the Kansan, written by Nancy Tollefson, Lawrence senior.
In the letter, Tolleson charged that the sorbites had discriminated against a black woman.
Turney and Jack Barker, IFC membership chairman, will direct the committee. Osness said the other members would be announced next week.
