Prairie park needed
One of the "sleeper" issues this year in the Kansas Legislature—but one that may end up grabbing everyone's attention—concerns the establishment of a Tallgrass Prairie National Park in the western Flint Hills region of the state.
The development of such a park has been opposed for many years by various interest groups, particularly cattlemen's associations, who say it would rob the state of needing grazing land and would increase the pressure thus running the prairie's ecological balance.
The cattlemen say that the presence of a national park will serve only as an impetus for further commercial development in the ever-diminishing virgin tallgrass prairie. Eventually, the limited grazing fortresses provide the quality of the area's cattle population.
SUPPORT FOR the park has come from state conservation groups and national societies such as Friends of the Earth, the Sierra Club and the Audubon Society. These groups say there is a need to set aside and preserve the natural prairie, so that both state residents and outside visitors could enjoy.
The prairie park movement received a shot in the arm recently when the Nature Conservancy, a private foundation which acquires and then leases land to public institutions to preserve the land, added 7,200 tallgrass acres to the already-existing 916-acre Kona Prairie Preserve Natural Reserve. It is also known as Dewey Ranch, is south of Manhattan and will be administered as a research facility by Kansas State University.
REALISTICALLY, the 8,116 acres are far too small for a national park, but it can
demonstrate that, if handled properly, some parts of the state can be preserved without seriously disrupting the state's other natural resources.
A victory in the Kansas Legislature, won by the necessarily mean victory for the proponents.
A good performance by the small area can and will be used as a weapon by conservationists during their ongoing fight with the cattlemen and other park opponents.
THE VARIOUS resolutions now being considered by the Senate that encourage or discourage development of the park are not legally binding. Only the federal government can create a national park. But the federal government would probably be greatly influenced by the Kansas Legislature's opinion and, therefore, the Senate's action would probably be an accurate barometer of things to come.
Preservation of land is essential. The tallgrass prairie is an important part of Kansas's heritage. It needs to be preserved.
It is true that Kansas cattlemans have done a good job of preserving the wildlife they encounter for doing so.
BUT IF ALL of the tallgrass prairie remains in private hands, there is no guarantee that the land will be preserved in the future. As long as the prairie is a part of a business operation, the possibility of commercial development or overdevelopment of the area.
Public ownership is the only way to make sure that the oripie will be preserved.
Politics, national food needs and environmental concerns may well dictate that privately owned cattle will be allowed to graze in any new prairie. But a park should have food sense and environmental concerns certainly dictate that a park should exist.
Jubilee rather tarnished
Twenty five years ago today Queen Elizabeth II acceded to Great Britain's throne, two days after the death of her father King George VI.
In a welcoming speech to the new queen, Prime Minister Winston Churchill said he looked forward to an era of prosperity because the reigns of previous British queens had been noted for their fame and fortune.
A LOOK AT Britain during her silver jubilee, however, doesn't reflect Churchill's optimism.
lower than that in the United States, has risen to more than 6 per cent of the labor force.
AMID THESE clouds of gloom, however, some rays of hope have appeared. A loan of $3.9 billion has been approved by the International Monetary Fund to help broaden the pound's position in the global economy, negotiating a 'safety net' loan which could tie them over any future crises.
The British, cheerfully carry on their daily lives as they have always done, despite rising prices and government cutbacks.
Ticket subsidy no dead issue Senate finds
It remains to be seen whether Britain has, at last, turned away from economic stagnation and political upheaval. Only by so doing will she be able to regain much of the respect and esteem that she, for so long, displayed as a leading world power.

The main characters in the production are the Student Athletic Corporation (KUAC). Other actors, such as the student body and the football and basketball teams, have
This semester promises to produce another act in that long-running drama known as The Ticket Subsidy.
The plot centers on the Senate's internal struggle to decide whether it should funnel money down from the power the cost of student tickets.
WHEN WE left our story last spring, the Student Senate had finally killed the ticket sub-committee. The vote had voted against continuing the previous year's $147,000 subsidy and, for lack of a quorum, failed even to vote on a nominee proposal to provide $80,000.
The KUAC, displaying the blase, damm-the-students attitude for which it has become well-known, promptly hiked the price of student football and basketball season tickets to $20. The team also donated Football tickets jumped to $20, and basketball tickets rose to $15; they had previously cost $10 apiece.
THEEN JUST last week, in another eleventh-hour move, out-going student body Tasha proposed taking the ticket subseqiue issue before the student body. Tasha proposed putting the question of a ticket subsidy into her ballot election later this month, along
Student senators mixed the proposal on the grounds that the question Tasfeh wanted put on the ballot was not confusing and also some confusion at the Senate's meeting about exactly how large a subsidy would be acceptable to the KUAC. But out of the conclusion, the Senate threw into crystal clear: the ticket inside isn't dead after all.
with other issues on which the Senate is sampling student opinion.
TEDDE TASHEFF now backs quietly out of the scene, having failed to provide any relief for student ticket buyers. But her proposal to put the ticket subsidy question before the student population shouldn't leave with her.
Her plan to let students, who have a vested interest in the matter, is a good one. The ticket subsidy issue has been a battle of pride between the KUAC and the Senate for too long.
The Student Senate won a moral victory of sorts last year when the KUAC and the KUAC had always leained on the ticket subsidy for additional revenue while holding the Senate's power over the student Senate's head.
THE KUAC had never been faced with the problem of having to decide now much it was possible to know what is supposed to be a student activity. The Senate forced the KUAC's hand last year, and we found out how much the KUAC expects students to attend. We thought it brought to
The whole affair brought into focus the KUAC's attitude
toward students. The KUAC doesn't care where the money is coming from, just as long as it keeps rolling in-KUAC officials have said as much. The bottom line rules.
BUT A moral victory didn't do students much good. The only effect was that they had to buy $1 more for tickets this year.
While student senators were pounding their chests in pride after squelching the subsidy, the thousands of students who pay for tickets were grousing. They feats the most students, the Senate had opted for a righteous rather than a practical stand.
What the Senate has failed to consider in the whole matter is the opinions of those who shell out the money for either a subsidy or tickets. Students pay for transportation should have a voice in deciding how they want to spend such a large chunk of their money.
PERHAPS A majority of students would like to forget about the subsidy, although that's hard to imagine in light of number of students who attend basketball games.
But the fact remains that, in all the time the ticket subsidy has been kicked around by the owner, never had a loud enough voice.
Any action on the ticket subsidy will now have to wait until after the new student body president is elected next week. Tedde Tasheff's successor would be wise to take the same course of action that Tasheff proposed as she left the stage.
True Catholics must obey Rome
To the editor:
I would like to respond to the obviously one-sided article in the Kansan concerning the ordination of women in the Church to present the orthodox Catholic position. Many arguments can be given in defense of Catholic doctrine but in the end it bolts down to this: those who wish to teach the Church a body must submit to the official teachings of Rome. It is this foundation upon which the unity of the Catholic Church rests. Now holding power in the Church of thoughts come to me after reading last Wednesday's Kansan.
Secondly, I read with disdain the statements by Catholics who tread close to this Protestant tradition. Rossiter said, the Catholic Church does not respond to the majority or to pressure. The beliefs of the church are based on the popular concernus, for truth is never

WASHINGTON—We are hearing a good deal of yak-yakyak from the usual liberal circles about the Supreme Court in an Oregon case. The piteous哭 is that the Court further undermined the famous principles of "Miranda," and that we are hearing a new day of Torquemada, the Star Chamber, and the rack.
But this is nonsense. Much of the howling seems to emanate from persons who have read neither the Miranda case nor the Tinker Bell story, howling mainly because it seems fashionable to howl.

Once Josh arrived, this campaign included posters, fliers in the Kansan, and buttons saying "That's Josh! Hang!" There were other who were worn by campers. On the third and final day of his visit, a student dressed up in a bear costume laid down in front of Wesco Hall and held up a sign that said "Facts" to promote Josh's "Maximum Sex" lecture.

In reading and listening to people's comments on the absence of "the horn," I have noticed that they fall mainly into two categories: (1) those wanting the horn to resume its horrible hourly blast and (2) those proclaiming good dance to bad vibrations. This lack leaves a middle ground. I have many people rather unhappy, whatever the final decision on the horn's fate. I would like to propose a compromise.
Since coming to KU, I can recall at least two winters in which the horn partially lost its voice. Instead of a sudden blast it has softened and started rather soothingly, gradually building up to its normal pitch and intensity and then gently sliding back down to normal. It is because it since its normal intensity was reached for a second or two, but it no longer blew out the earrums of those in the immediate vicinity.

The black-white conflict is of great concern to many individuals, understandably so. But I deploy the reasoning of so many of these people, black and white. The whites blame the blacks for the crimes. Initially, the white man may have created this problem, but today we are all bearing the brunt of the consequences. None of us is guilty for creating this struggle—it existed before we were ever born. And we cannot justly accept that the crimes within us. We can never hope to up with a worldwide cure.
Before this problem can ever begin to be overcome, each one of us must take a look, a serious look, at ourselves and see where our own problems lie. If each individual can be honest trying to evaluate why people act the way they do and why we act the
Miranda's conviction (and those of the other defendants) was reversed. A majority of the court asked Miranda to take a suspect into custody, the suspect must be given certain reminders and warnings—of his right to remain silent, of his right to counsel, of his right to be bailaed by civil libertarians as a tremendous leap forward in terms of the rights of an accused. The decision was made when four officers as one more obstacle to convicting the guilty.
IN THE very first paragraph of his opinion, Warren defined the limits of his leap. The
that no person "shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself."
THE MIRANDA opinion was Chief Justice Warren's particular pride and joy. Why, it is hard to say. As an example of the opinion-writing art, it had no faults; the opinion was long, diffuse, endlessly repetitions, plainly the product more of emotion than of reason. It split the Court wide-open. Clark wrote a strong dissent. Harlan wrote a second dissent joined by White and Stewart. Then White wrote a third dissent of his own, in which he roared his disapproval. Those who suppose that the "Miranda warnings are engraved in the law" would division in mind. Warren's great leap commanded a bare majority within the Court.
To say that Mathiason was thus "compelled to be a witness against himself" is humbly, but not necessarily wrong. Amendment remain unimpaired. All that is happening is that life gets a little tougher for the cop. And 1. for one, see nothing wrong with that.
Therefore my suggestion is to hit it with a sledge-hammer and turn it back on.
interrogation." The limitation as to "custodial interrogation" was expressed not fewer than 25 times. The warnings would be required "after a person has been taken into custody or deprived of his freedom in any significant way."
Warren's purpose was to prevent "menacing police interrogation procedures." In an interview with the brothers, he emphasized that "volunteered statements of any kind are not banned by the Fifth Amendment and their adjudication is afflicted by our holding today."
Mathiash telephoned the officer, voluntarily made a 5 o'clock appointment at headquarters two blocks from his home. Mathiash never was taken into custody; he was not arrested at the time. He went around and talked to the officer. They talked in a private room. The suspect's suspicethe suspect's fingerprints had been found—but such a ruse would have been disbanded by an innocent man. Mathiash was not innocent. Mathiash was not guilty.
KEEPING ALL this in mind, what of the Oregon case last month? The defendant Carl Ray Mathison was suspected of stealing a stereo set from a home in Pendleton. Mathison was a parole; he surely was not ignorant or a law enforcer, and never unavailably left for him, and finally left his calling card at Mathison's apartment asking the suspect to get in touch.
