Senate provides funding for women's field hockey
By HARRIS RAYL
Staff Writer
Student senators were treated last night to a five-hour barrage of issues and legislation at a meeting that senator Ed Rolfs, former student body president, called "the most confusing Student Senate meet I've ever been to."
The most important bills that passed did the following:
Fourteen bills, resolutions and petitions were voted on.
—Allocated $4,500 to the Women's field hockey team. No Senate funds had been allocated to the team during the spring budget hearings.
-Allocated an additional $218 to Black-
lock giving the total of $380 in Senate
funds ($450).
Allocated an additional $2,190 to
Dept. of Justice, giving it $4,000
for its contingency fund.
—Allocated an additional $115 to the
American Society of Civil Engineers, giving it $350 for next year.
-Allocated an additional $233 to the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, giving it $330 for next year. The financial fund was meant for travel expenses.
- Approved the hiring of an auditor to meet financial procedures for next year.
A controversial bill that would eliminate the Senate seats held by the presidents of the Panhellenic Association, the Interfraternity council, the Association of University Residence Halls and the All-Scholarship Hall Council was discussed but not voted on. It was referred to the Student Affairs Office for further examination, after a lengthy debate.

$613.
MARK ANTHONY, Academic Affairs committee cochairman, said that he didn't think the group should receive the larger budget and would be enough for the group to function.
Last year, Black 'tets received about $760 from the Senate.
Anthony said his committee had originally allocated only $108 to Black-tacks during the spring budget hearings because there was evidence that the group had lost the share of votes. But the group's presentation during the spring hearings was "the poorest brought to us."
Michael Williamson, chairman of Black'ts, says about the cut from $163 to $281. "I'll hurt- this is a heavy cut. But without it, Black'ts (Black'ts) will hold together."
Uninformed senators major Senate trouble
There was little debate on the additional funding for the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Douglas Lawless and the American Society of Civil Engineers.

The Student Senate has its share of politics, personality, conflicts and disagreements.
Students involved in the Senate blame the system, uninformed senators and general student body apathy for many of the difficulties in Senate Affairs.
The problems become visible at large, open Senate meetings. About 115 senators, student government leaders, nonsemitarians and any other interested students meet to
review and vote on numerous bills, resolutions and petitions.
"IT CAN TURN into a circus," Elena Reynolds, Graduate Student Council executive coordinator and graduate student senator for two years, said.
She said that although the problem wasn't as bad this semester as in the past, there was often a lot of last-minute running around to get things done. And, she said, there were still a lot of people at the event. We now what was going on and never listened.
Some people, she said, turn Senate meetings into social meetings.

THE DEBATE OVER whether to fund the

created a goal.
The debate centered on whether field heels was popular enough to survive in the Midwage.
Jill Grubbaugh, sports committee cochairman, argued that it wasn't and that, the team didn't.
"I just don't think we should invest this much money in something that's not even the right amount," he said.
Joe Sweeney, Salina junior, also argued for funding the team and said it would

Temporary student housina
In years before, third-year architecture students have built temporary emergency shelters at Lake Perry for their projects. This year the site was changed, but some of the hilarity that resulted from creating living quarters made of chicken wire or
balloons remained. In this case Susan Richards, Baldwyn junior, bride into laughter after her project coworker, Cheryl Stelmach, Prairie Village junior, crawled into their air mattress creation and covered herself with a blanket.
KU writer's success came early
Bv CHERYL HAWLEY
Some people in Colombia think Marco Tuilio Aguilera Garramuno was too successful too fast.
Ray Williams, Lawrence graduate student, made that observation last Friday about the 26-year-old writer whom he influenced to come to the University of Kansas.
Mercenary recruitments disputed

However, a number of veterans said watery day he had heard rumors of such attacks.
Some campus veterans say they are skeptical of reports that military veterans at the University of Kansas were asked to serve in combat nations, including Angola and Rhodesia.
Questions concerning mercenaries arose this week after KANU radio reported that two unidentified veterans said they had been shot in the year about serving on mercenary forces.
The two, identified as an Army intelligence veteran and an Air Force veteran who specialized in communications, didn't marry the mercenary groups, according to KANI.
"GUESS THAT all it's been in rumors",
he said, "and I'm a little suspicious. I don't
like it."
Jim Bayle, Kalispell, Mont., graduate student and a veterinarian, said he had heard of such recruiting organizations, but knew of no contacts with KU veterans.
Mike Dixon, Lawrence senior, said he
questioned the authenticity of reported contacts. He said veterans wouldn't be contacted unless they had friends or permeability involved with the recruiting organizations.
"You have to be a little suspicious," he said. "Stuff like this is just like war stories, like with the glamour involved. If you look at her self-portrait what he did, you'd know more about it."
An Army veteran told Wayne Cervich, a reporter for KANU, that he had inquired about the number of people who was contacted by telephone in January. He said he had been offered $1,500 tax-free income a month to fight in Angola with the American-backed faction in that nation's war.
HE DECLINED both that offer and a second offer made later. he said.
He said that in 1972, while attending an eastern college, several veterans there were contacted and recruited to fight in Cambodia. The groun's contracts later were

canceled because of a money shortage, he said.
In 1975, he said, he was again contacted by a different recruiting group, which paid for a trip to Montreal for the veteran, to further discuss the program.
The veteran said he was offered a salary of $20, but declined it because it wasn't enough.
SAM HERMOCILLO, Lawrence senior and president of Campus Veterans, said he had heard a recruiter from Texas who had called the veterans' office, but didn't think actual recruiting attempts had been made at KU.
Je McCune, Lawrence freshman and office manager for Campus Veterans, said he didn't think a reported salary offer of $275,000 would attract many applications.
DON BROWN, editor of Soldier of Fortune, said his magazine provided information for veterans about possible recrubriters and also had classified opportunities, "for whoever is interested."
"I don't think mercenary activities are something that most of our campus vets know."
Soldier of Fortune, a magazine based in Boulder, Colo., refers veterans to persons who have jobs for them, a secretary at the magazine's office said.
Aquilera's first novel, "Breve historia de todas las cosas," or "A Brief History of Everything" was published in July 1975, and was named the Best Novel of the Year in Costa Rica and the second best in Colombia, his native country.
Brown said he knew of no attempts to recruit veterans at KU to join mercenary groups. He said, however, that his magazine had recently printed articles about the Rhodesian government contacting the Rhodesian government to serve with Rhodesian "security forces."
"As far as I know, there's no recruiting," he said. "It's illegal, that's why. We're not recruiting, just printing information for people."
Brown said that both the recruiter and person being recruited could be prosecuted for mercenary activities, but if there was no recruiting involved, then it was not illegal.
"You can write to the Rhodesian government and there's not a goddamn internet."
Brown said he had been in touch with Americans already in Rhodesia and knew of between 50 and 100 Americans "working" for the war effort. Americans had joined the Rhodian forces.
"It is my personal opinion that he is one of the bright spots in Colombian fiction. He has unlimited possibilities. He is very imaginative and conscientious about the social reality that his country is experiencing." Williams said.
Williams and Agulera met last October when Williams was studying contemporary Colombian novels on a Fulbright scholarship in Bogota, Colombia.
AGUILERA, WHO has been an assistant instructor in the department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University since January, said he had been described by Colombian critics as a "名誉 NAME Colombia" or "名誉 NOVELL", novelist, second only to García Marquez."
Marquez is recognized in Colombia as its top writer and his novel "El otoo del patriaria" was selected as the best novel in the country last year.
AGUILERA SAID he angered Marquez by giving him a copy of "A Brief History of Everything" with an inscription saying that "Marquez read the book after Marquez read some of the novel, he
"You must know the moment the work of 'art is ready. D'not usually set myself up as a philosopher, but a universal law I'd like to learn is to quit at the precise moment."
Speaking of Marquez, Aguilera said, "I dislike important people. I got into a verbal argument with Garcia and told him his work was overdone, almost rotten.

apologized do Aquilera for treating him as a child, he said.
"Garcia said my novel was the best one in Colombia that he had read in the past."
The novel is about a city in Costa Rica, called San Isidro del general. The book has been reviewed by Williams in Arco, a Colombian cultural and literary magazine.
"I'm trying to show a picture of a city but in a grotesque way," he said. "The novel is narrated by a prisoner, so what he tells is what he sees through the window of the jail or hears from other prisoners coming in from the outside.

Local forces recycle paper, glass, clothes
If that trash bag seems pretty heavy, chances are it contains something someone else might be looking for.
Lawrence has places that recycle paper, aluminum, bottles, clothes—in fact, just anything.
At the Computation Center in Sum-
John Setz, coordinator of the Waste-Not program at the University of Kansas, said Monday the program took only high quality white bond paper for recycling.
If Lawrence residents recycled these items, it would be possible to reduce their trash in weight by 20 per cent or more, according to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) figures published in the April 1976 issue of Waste-Age magazine.
According to EPA figures, office paper, notebook paper and other nonpackaging paper make up 5.3 per cent of all residential and commercial waste nationally.
MOST OF WHAT the program has been accepting is computer cards and print-outs. Other high quality bond paper includes good stationery, letterhead paper, typing paper, photocopy paper and notebook paper that is marked as recycled and has little grain.
merfield Hall, he said, paper is boxed and sent to a warehouse to prepare it for shipping. The warehouse is under security to guard the information on the paper. After it is run through a hydro-pulper, the company sends word that it has been destroyed.
Seltz said that nearly 40 groups collected paper for them and that Waste-Not was trying to start a new collection center in Ellsworth Residence Hall. Any person who would like to recycle his paper can leave it in 105 Summerfield.
Seitz said all the money received from recycling went toward running the plant.
NEWSPAPERS CONSTITUTE 7.2 per cent of trash weight and books and newspapers
Whomper, a paper collection agency at 8th and New Hampshire, pays $50 cents for an A4 folder. Paper collections of paper, such as magazines or catalogs, Papers can be dropped off anytime, but Whomper pays for them between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. A4 folders are available for between 4 a.m. and 3 a.m. Saturdays.
Mary Louse Wright, a member of Whompson's board of directors, said that an investigation was underway.
