Sales tax investigation
Lawrence Arts Center should file a campaign finance statement, attorney general reports
By M. Meredith Relph Kansan staff writer
The Lawrence Art Center should help the money spent last fall fail to buy the artist's proposal a proposed county-wide sales tax, the Kansas attorney general recalled.
The arts center had supported a *10* cent sales tax and had encouraged the arts center to send a newsletter to its member board, but the arts center was investigated by the attorney general for complaint from a local resident.
Gabrielle Holcomb, Lawrence resident, wrote a letter to Douglas County District Attorney Jim Flory in July, citing the failure of the arts center to file a report after she was dismissed in 1987 special election. The statement by Kansas election laws, and the deadline for filing was Dec. 31, 1987.

We never knew that we needed to (file the statement). If we had thought we were supposed to, we would have done it then.'

Ann Evans
Director, Lawrence Arts Center
comment yesterday
Ann Evans, director of the Lawrence Arms Center, said yesterday she saw the attorney general's opinion on the arts center would comply with the decision. She said she had the figures she reported and would file it with the Justice Department.
"We never knew that we needed to (file the statement)." Evans said. "If we had thought we were supposed to, we would have done it then."
Evans said that the arts center, a
non-profit organization, could lobby in favor of or against a particular question but could not spend a sub-total on its budget on campaigning.
"We raised no money specifically for that. We just sent letters to our members." she said.
As for the complaint lodged by he

now bow Holecombe, the letter sent to arts center members.
With Holcombe with Holden's letter to Flight.
Mary Horsch, press secretary for Attorney General Robert Stephan, said the attorney general's opinion that the Justice Department's arts center did not have to comply.
"The court would have to decide if he did not it." Hennah said.
She said the opinion also stipulated that only the receipts and expenditures used for the support of the sales tax special election needed to be submitted to the county clerk rather than the art center's entire budget.

KJHK advertisers receive petition calling for boycott
By Craig Welch Kansan staff writer
A petition sent last week to area officials in the city of Tucson tapes or currently advertise on KJHK said that the 300 signers "conscien-
tize" and patronize their establishment's bills.
In response to recent changes at the station, Steve Greenwood, the HRM director of KKH employee, circulated a press request requesting that students and area residents boycott the 55 businesses until 1980 and spring 1989 semesters.
"People who have given money to JKHJ in the past and people who plan to give in the future should be aware that the principles upon which the station has been predeiended are same principles that are currently being followed." Greenwood said yesterday.
Greenwood sent the signatures, along with Lawrence Journal-World and Kansan clippings that describe the business at the station, to the businesses.
Richard Oatman, JKH program director, said that he was unaware of any changes at the station because of the petition.
One business owner who received the petition said he didn't expect it to alter his business much.
Mike Mader, the faculty adviser for the Committee Representing Students that KJKH Serves, was one of the petitioners signers.
"I saw the pelt, and I think I kissed it (threw it away)," said Bob Laskey, owner of Pizza Shoppe, 601 Kasidow. "The only advertising I do is through their auction. I give him some payoff in exchange for some advertising."
"The issue is not one of musicalastes but one of freedom of expression and creativity in learning, the
sion and creativity in learning,
the sensation to bear new and progressive sounds and then decide for them
something is offensive. Madar said.
“It’s not so much the music change
“the manner in which the changes
to place,” he said. “I signed the
patent petition it felt it was very
good.” It felt it was a serious
signal that this is still a pretense
issue with a lot of students.
KJHK recently has adopted some mainstream music to its format and the band has been deemed "too offensive" to play on the air, Mader said. Many students also believe that student concerts in jamming has been subverted, be said.
Jerry Howard, JKHK station manager, has said that the changes were made to attract more student listeners.
Employee backaches increase
Classified Employees Safety Committee suggests preventive measures to decrease back injuries caused by improper lifting
By David Stewart Kansan staff writer
For many employees of the University of Kansas, pains in the back are facts of life.
Phil Rankin, assistant director of personnel services, said that improper lifting, bending and twisting had caused 191 accidents since Jan. 1, 1965 and that 37 of them had occurred since Jan. 1, 1968.
Accidents such as these are a problem that concerns the Classified Employees Safety Committee greatly.
"It's something we talk about at work," the teacher says. "Improper lifting, slipping and falling, are the two major categories of injury among classi-
In order to avoid an increase in back injuries, the committee recently endorsed several preventive measures to educate employees.
Rankin said the committee suggested that supervisors watch more closely than their employees lift, twist and bend and that supervisors have employees demonstrable knowledge of the correct procedures.
Also, in order for the committee to better monitor accidents, people filing accident reports must specify the lifting, bending and twist of the object in the accident and the weight of the object lifted, Rankin said.
As a further safety measure, the committee is suggesting that supervisors show the personnel services in film's New Way to be used, which is given award workers who lift frequently or already have been injured.
Mark Johnson, a chiropractor at the Accident and Family Chiropractic Center, 23rd and Kasidol streets, recommended several exercises while lifting; Don't lift more than you are accustomed to; keep the weight close to your body; bend your knees; keep your back straight; keep the weight is centered so you don't have to twist while lifting it.
The committee also sponsors at least two safety programs a year.
David Lewin, director of personnel services, said that most of those injured by improper lifting, bending or twisting could miss but that the majority did not qualify for benefits' compensation benefits.
"The majority are off work maybe one or two days," Lewin said. "Workers compensation were off the job for a week."
Rhodes on the arms race Pulitzer Prize-winning author gives insights
By Terry Bauroth
Kansan staff writer
Easy solutions to the 40-year old arms race do not exist. Richard Rhodes last night, but the outcome was still unpredictable.
Rhodes, who won the Pulitzer Prize for general fiction in 1896 for his book, *The Admonition* to the Inames (1904), told Audrey Hepburn that night to about 150 people. The event was co-sponsored by the English department and Student Union Activist Association.
The world cannot rid itself of nuclear weapons because that knowledge can't be destroyed, Rhodes said. At the same time, the nations of the world know they can't use nuclear weapons and survive.
Rhodes began his speech with a war story to illustrate the arms dilemma.
That story concerned a Danish physician, Niels Bohr, born in 1858, who was the first to realize that uranium 235 was the rare iron responsible for fission's ability to destroy other atoms, and the possibility of larger bombs such as hydrogen bombs.
Bhades said that Bohr predicted that countries besides the United States would gain access to the knowledge necessary to build nuclear weapons. When it happened, a wimble war would be impossible.
"A spasm of mutual destruction would be possible."
Rhodes said. "But not war."
But Bohr saw even further. Rhodes said.
"He saw into a future that we have hardly dared to imagine, and he found there the possibility of hope," he said. "Mutual release from the tyranny of nuclear weapons would require negotiating certain conditions."
"Given, as Baldr, that we are in a new situation that cannot be resolved by war, how can it be resolved? I can only be resolved by the world moving forward," she said. "Rhodes said in an interview before the speech.
If political and material inequality led to war, open communications between nations would make it possible for people everywhere to compare their conditions and to act accordingly. Rhodes said.
"In the long run, such openness must work for alleviation." Rhodes said.
Rhodes said the evidence was that all wars fought since 1945 have remained limited, not one nuclear weapon has been used since 1945, and the superpowers have not gone full military alert against each other.
"Such historic restraint by nation states as contentious as the United States and the Soviet Union is remarkable." Rhodes said. "On evidence of the existence of such restraints, it has been found from any millennial change in the hearts of men."
"Rather, it would seem to have been forced upon the nations by the millennial cause of circumstance that we must abandon."
Bhodes spoke for about one hour and 15 minutes. He autographed copies of his book and answered questions from students.
Tedrick Hossh, Overland Park law student, said he came to hear Rhodes because he wanted to hear about the facts that made the book, "The Making of the Atomic Bomb," possible.
"His book was excellent," Fountain said. "He deserved a Pulitzer Prize because of his understanding of the importance of truth."
