StudEx defends its actions while a clarification of powers is suggested. Kansas University hosts a Big Eight History Departments conference today through Saturday in the Kansas Union with leaders from eight schools attending. Robert Cobb will open the event and Chu tsing Li will present in an international Ming loyalists symposium in Hong Kong next week.

Carey and Mayor Beame announced the plan to have MAC bonds funded by the state, with banks declaring they are at their lending limit and treating a state guarantee as a direct loan. The banks involved include Chase Manhattan, First National City Bank and Morgan Guaranty Trust amid looming payroll and debt obligations in mid September.
