From page one
MECHA, a Chicago minority group, for a symposium. Jeff Rhoads, chairman of the Student Services Committee, said that MECHA didn't include money for a symposium in its $744 budget request because the organization was discouraged by poor reception of the idea in past budget allocations.
Rhoads said the committee wanted to show interest in the group so that the administration might fund future MECHA symposiums.
Representatives of MECHA were called in last night to present their plans for a symposium once again. However, because of budget hearing guidelines established earlier by the Student Services Committee, they wouldn't personally address the committee.
Douglas County Legal Aid received a recommendation of $9,400 which was equal
A "freeze" was put on $4,000 of that recommendation. It will be released after Dec. 15 if Congress does not allocate revenue sharing funds to the group.
AFTER A DISCUSSION about overlapping services of the Women's Coalition-Women's Center and the Commission of the Status of Women Tuesday night, both groups were funded separately last night.
The Consumer Affairs Association received the biggest cut. The group had requested more than $7,000 for a director's recommended $3,735 for a half-time paid position.
The majority of committee members agreed that only 40 per cent of the Consumer Affair's services were used by students and, therefore, that the Student Senate shouldn't fund full professional courses. In other words, the group should rely on more volunteer work.
Requests for a typewriter were denied to
the Women's Coalition-Women's Center and the Volunteer Clearing House.
The Board of Class Officers was refused tuesday Tuesday night because the committee rejects the board's recommendations.
Senate rules forbid Senate funding of social funding.
THE COMMUNICATIONS Committee had its first budget hearings and made its final recommendations. The University Daily Kansan, JKJH FM Radio and the Friends of United Farm Workers presented their budgets.
KJHJ-FM Radio received its block allocation of $8,575 and also a supplemental allocation of $2,349, $20 over their supplemental request.
The University Daily Kansan received its stock allocation of $6,600, which is funded by the university.
Steve Leben, Communications Committee chairman, said the Friends of United States students funds because the committee decided that the group didn't affect a significant number of students. He said the funds would be used to students through the allocation to KJH-FM.
Wild plants can yield food, medicines, dyes
The cattails that you see in the marsh as you drive by could very easily be a part of your dinner, according to Dr. Janet Bare, director with the University of Kansas Herbarium.
More than 50 people gathered in the Panorama Room of Dyce Museum of Natural History last night to see Bare's program, "Utilization of Wild Kansas Plants." Bare showed slides of many wild Kansas plants and told of some of the uses the plants have for food, medicine, dyes and landscaping.
She said the cattail was very versatile. The upper portion of the flowering spike is good bolt when it is green, she said, and the lower portion is hardened and can be used with flour to make bread.
Bare said many species of plants in the United States were endangered. An endangered species act has been passed by the U.S. Congress, Bare said, but it does more to protect animal species than it does for the endangered plants.
Speaker to discuss CIA
After the presentation, which is sponsored by SUA, Marks will discuss what he has
The influence of the Central Intelligence Agency on U.S. domestic and foreign policy will be the subject of a presentation by John Marks, executive director of the Center for National Security Studies in Washington, eight on Sunday in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Marks will show two half-segment segments from documentaries on the CTA produced by the AOL Media Group.
called subversion tactics used by the CIA to interfere in international politics.
In 1973 Marks, who was then staff assistant to the director of intelligence and research at the Department of State, and Victor Marchetti, a former CIA agent, wrote "The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence."
BECAUSE OF information disclosed in the book, it became controversial and set off a series of court battles between the authors and the CIA. It was the first book to be censored before publication by the U.S. government for national security reasons.
In addition to the book, Marks has also written several articles on diplomacy. Interesting topics:
MORE THAN 700 species of plants in the continental United States have been listed by the Smithsonian Institution as being endangered and more than 1,200 are threatened. This about 10 per cent of the plant species in the United States.
"If you find a flower in the woods, you wouldn't put it in an extremely hot, dry, hot area."
Bare said people who attempted to transplant unangered wild plants should remember to place them in environments similar to the ones they were previously in.
Only two of the threatened species are in kansas—a member of the milkweed species and one of the listed endangered ones.
Bare showed slides of various wild plants in Kansas. Among the plants that can be eaten are the syriaca milkweed pods, which Bare said were very good if they weren't too cold. They were served in boiling water for about 10 minutes and served with butter or cheese sauce.
RARE SAID the leaves from the common blue violet were also good if prepared like greens, because they are higher in vitamin C than oranges.
She said many plants were still used for medicinal purposes and many that weren't on the endangered or threatened lists could be used for landscaping around homes.
