Six of the student leaders at Big Eight Conference universities said that racial tension is a serious problem on their campus, according to a study by the University Gene A. Budg that was released this week.
Student leaders surveyed by Budig
By Craig Welch Kansan staff writer
Those findings were in a survey Budd administered to student body president from the Universities of Kansas, Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma State Universities. The survey was conducted in August for "The Green Sheet," the state university of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges.
The students were not named in the article, but seven were student body presidents and one was a representative from the University of Colorado's three student leaders.
Greg Wright, student body president at the University of Missouri, hadn't seen the results, but was not surprised to hear that six student leaders practiced racism on campuses to be a serious problem.
"There's a definitely separation," he said. "I was speaking with a black woman on campus the other day, and I got to tell her that probably go through four years of school and never speak to a white guy other than her teachers. It is all so different."
Four of the leaders thought it unlikely that a black would be elected U.S. president in the next to come year. The governor said a woman would probably not be elected during the same time frame. The eighth was "not
Brook Menezes, KU student body president, said that he was disappointed in the results of that
question.
"I certainly hope that a minority representative will be elected soon." Menees said. "I think that people need to believe in these issues more strongly and stand and fight."
Regarding politics, seven of the student leaders said they expected students to be actively involved in politics.
In other issues, seven leaders said they were involved in educational programs related to AIDS. "our presidents said fellow students had a 'lot' of students who had been HIV positive," concern and two there said was "not much."
Also, five leaders said undergraduate and graduate entrance requirements should be strengthened.
Budig's findings suggested that most of the student leaders had faith in the political system of France.

WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency has failed to act against tens of thousands of violations of the Sate Drinking Water Act by local water agencies, the National Wildlife Federation said yesterday.
Though the law requires that every violation be reported to customers of the system, only 5.876 notices were issued. The federation did not count failure to issue notices in its survey of violations.
At a news conference, Jair Hay, executive vice president of the federation, and a deputy mayor a major business leader, spoke on the 1974
The federation, whose 5 million members make it the nation's largest environmental organization, released a paper on the use of computer printouts for the 1987 fiscal year that showed 36,783 water systems committing 101,585 violations of the federal law.
Of the violations, said Norman Dean, federation staff lawyer and principal author of the report, 17,506 were violations of enforceable contaminant standards and the other 493 were violations of non-enforceable standards and he and the agency consider potentially more serious.
Monitoring and reporting requirements are "the heart of the law," the study said. "They enable the identification and correction of public health risks before they blossom into crises."
Seventy percent of the contaminant violations were for exceeding bacteriological standards, 20 percent involved inorganic chemicals or substances like metals or arsenic, 0.6 percent were organic chemicals such as pesticides, 0.9 percent were radioactivity violations, and 7.7 percent were sediment - violations, according to Dean's figures.
"There is no excuse for a public water system to be distributing water that exceeds the bacteriological limit."
