Bike defeat KU loss
Pedalplan, a bike path system that would have made bicycling in Lawrence easier has died—apparently because the city's safety agency of Kansas to help prepare the plan.
It's too bad. Many Lawrence residents would have used the paths, which would have included routes along the new Clinton Parkway from Iowa Street to Warrenville, along the new Kaw River Bridge and on top of the ley on the Kaw.
BUT THERE was probably one group, the students at KU, that would have benefitted most from the bike paths.
The Lawrence residents would have used the paths mainly for recreation. Some students, however, use bicycles as their major means of transportation.
If Lawrence's Pedalplan had been approved, the routes on the east and west sides of Mt. Oread would have been lengthened. Second, Arkansas and Alabama streets would have been used to drive bikers into the east of Memorial Stadium that would have allowed bikers to pedal up Memorial Drive.
Unfortunately, these routes may never exist. The regional office of the
U. S. Department of Transportation rejected the application for $85,527 in federal funds.
Manhattan used the resources of K-State, "the whole works" according to the KU graduate and transportation official who killed the Lawrence plan.
MANHATTAN, which used students from Kansas State University, had their request granted. So did Wichita, which did a better job than Lawrence in planning its bikeways in the downtown area.
City officials said that just one man was involved in the planning of a new $100 million The Manhattan plan included studies by civil engineering students.
JUST ONE person was assigned to work on the report because the city was notified just one month before the plan was due.
Let's hope that the Lawrence bike plan can be saved and that another source of money can be found. Bicyclists endanger themselves and increase the probability of traffic accidents when they travel along crowded streets meant only for cars; Lawrence needs the bike paths.

Letters Zionists shroud truth
To the Editor:
This letter is written to bring to the attention of KU students and faculty a fragrant abuse of perfume that occurred on this campus Nov. 5.
Fliers had been prepare announcing a Week of Solidarity with the Palestinian Revolution, sponsored by the Iranian Students Association and the Organization of Arab Students.
Nov. 5, altered copies of the fler appeared on campus. "Week of Solidarity" had been changed to "Week of Sodomy." It was added to the speaker's book for the Palestinian revolution, had written a book called "Abdul makes a good deep hum," and that films would be shown: "A boy and his camel!" and "The date of the conference had also been changed."
This attempt by Zionist forces at the University of Kansas again makes clear the unwillingness of these people to pay attention to the issue of the injustice done to the Palestinian people.
Let me assure the Zionist elements who were responsible for this attempt to hide the truth that the truth will be brought to the American people. Use of American tax dollars and military hardware to keep Palestinians from their home is
Their attempt to resort to trickery, even obscurity, to prevent the history and current reality of Israel being known, once again, is feast for fear of people who don't fear the truth. People who have occupied by force another people's land, who rely on $2 billion a year in American military aid to continue the war against terrorism as racist by a majority of the world, do fear the truth.
an injustice that the morality of Americans won't long allow to continue.

Funding protest To the Editor:
After reading of the Student Senate's supplemental funding of the KU Ice Hockey Club I have several reactions as a student, as a member of the Senate, Committee on Public Instruction, of the Recreation Advisory Board (RAB).
As a student I recognize the necessity of thoughtful and prudent funding actions by the Senate to regulate certain aspects of the student activity fee, the Senate stands to lose a great deal of power. Without a reasonable funding policy the Senate stands
As a three-year member of the Senate Sports Committee I have observed a growing disenchantment with the Ice Hockey Club. The Sports Committee denied funds for Ice Hockey club operation for the two years preceding the denial because the denial of funds came from a general student rejection of the promise of an ice arena coming to Lawrence. The Senate has committed itself to wait support of a program that operates in Kansas City, includes only a few students, plays before only two matches, represents overall a very small potential for participation by Lawrence students compared with other club sports.
The mention of club sports brings me to the RAB. This is a major funding responsibilities of the Sports Committee last
year. The Ice Hockey Club failed to send a representative to our budget hearings last year and it was decided to deny funds on the basis of the reasons listed above. This board has the responsibility to coordinate and manage the funds by funding Student Senate, I see nothing but a flagrant circumvention of the responsibilities held by the Sports Committee and by the RAB. Without consideration by these bodies, it makes as much sense to go before the Senate club sport to go before the Senate to request its yearly fund.
The issue here isn't ice hockey, but rather a competent, responsible and sensible funding policy by the Student Senate. When it doesn't consider its own advisory bodies, the Senate doesn't seem to adhere to such a policy.

Someone once told me the road to hell was paved with good intentions. After hearing the complex, perplexing and in some ways tragic story of Gary Mark Glimore, I have no doubt that the saying is true.
Utah case a nightmare
THE EXECUTION didn't take place, despite Gilmore's vehement requests that the state of Utah have the courage to execute him as his sentinel. dictated. Lawyers who oppose the execution on legal grounds will appear at a meeting of the Judiciary in Pasadena today. Reportedly, Gilmore will there also in again request to die.
Gilmore, 35, has decided it is better to die "like a man" than to spend the rest of his life in prison for killing a mollent last July. Following his conviction, Gilmore was sentenced to choose either death by hanging or before a firing squad. Nov. 8, the Utah Supreme Court, by a 3-2 decision, imposed a stay of execution, indefinitely postponing Gilmore's death. Last Thursday, at Gilmore's request, the court ordered execution, and agreed that Gilmore should die at 8 a.m. last Monday.
our American penal system. Glimore, who has already spent 18 years of his life behind bars, has simply said he can't endure any more of the emotional stress of being imprisoned. The surprise of his death is that Glimore has been judged perfectly sanity. He committed murder—he readily admits it—and is willing to die for it.

profess to disavow, doesn't come at the hands of the executioner as much as it comes from being locked up, demoralized and treated like an animal for years on end. Regardless of the legal questions concerning Gilmore's request to die, the nation's courts and legislators can no longer ignore the horrors implicit in her punishment. The time they reviewed the number of imprisonment to see whether, indeed, such a sentence is truly in accord with their professed ideals.
Gilmore's request seems to be the most vocal pronouncement yet that cruel and horrible man is willing to kill.
to keep Gilmore on death row, would be wise to do some evaluating of its own. The ACLU, which lately has seemed to have its representatives poking at every case on the dockets, needs to assess its own crusades. Granted, the ACLU opposed cruel and unusual punishment, and thus naturally is opposed to executions.
But the organization's broader purpose is to protect individual rights and personal freedoms. Gilmore, by his own free will, does not know that the ACLU should be crusading for him, not against him. In the Gilmore case, the ACLU is a classic example of a group getting so ambitious that it lets its own members chose those very people it intends to save.
THE AMERICAN Civil Liberties Union of Utah, the leading group in the struggle
The Utah courts should also acknowledge Gilmore's right to call for his own death, but it isn't surprising that the final decision is being made over a lawsuit filed by a group of lawyers being aired before what now must be a very confused group of justices.
SURELY, THOSE who make the final decision will want to make it thoughtfully, knowing this will, in all probability, be a landmark decision. And most decisions concerning the emerging right of a person to choose his time to die are
todiously made. How long it took for the various courts to finally decide that Karen Quinlan parents could seek a court hearing from a life-sustaining respirator.
But the Glimore case is even more complex because two traditionally meshed philosophies, one that deplores cruel and unusual punishment and the other that supports personal freedoms, are at odds. Those who finally decide Glimore's fate, one hopes will have the chance to make an impact in the one who really matters. He doesn't consider execution to be cruel and unusual punishment. In fact, he regards it as quite humane. Therefore, the court should allow him to die.
THE EVENTS concerning the Gilmore case during the past week or so are distressing because all parties seem to think they are acting with only the best intentions. Gilmore thinks his request is unreasonable and does not sentence the ACU wants to discourage cruel and unusual punishment, and the Utah court system is trying to weigh both sides in hopes of setting a proper ground with the jury's case. Good intentions are clear on all sides, and that what makes the Gilmore case a nightmare.
Promising cancer lead canned
An ad will appear soon in the Wall Street Journal and Barrons with a headline reading: "For Sale one thousand mice with malignant cancer $138 each." The text of the ad, paid for by a benefactor of the Cancer Science and Medicine will say: "Our research shows that the incidence and severity of cancer depends upon diet. We urgently want to refine that research so that it may help to decrease suffering from human cancer. The U.S. government has refused to support Pauling and his colleagues in this work during the past four years."

Max Planck, who had some new ideas in Helmholtz's own field, told me to stand approval, even among the very physicists who were closely connected with the topic. Helmholtz probably did not even read my paper at all but made sure I would not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a few more people up that is familiar with it".

Why has amygdalin received such treatment? There's no money in it since all it is is essence of apricot pits—therefore no drug company can explain why, explain the hostility, the anger and the refusal to investigate it by the scientific method. Pride may enter into it, as may the apparently didactic personality of Ernest Krebs, who first proposed amygdalin's use as well as a biochemical theory as work an antiseptic agent.

Still, there persists a disquieting feeling about Carter in the minds of many people. What seems strange, perhaps, to the American, is once again having an active presidency.
