Societies face Title IX problems

The dean of women's office has made efforts to force single-sex honorary societies and professional women's bodies, the student body officials charged yesterday.
Jon Lossner, member of Sachem Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa, said, "The Dean of Women's office is now making improper claims and is reading things into Title IX before official guidelines come down. The committee has worked without due process, and thereby jump the gun to intimidate the groups into going coed before a decision is made."
TITLE 1X of the Education Amendments
Act of 1972 barred the University of Kansas
from receiving any education under this law.
Surgery report expected today
A special committee appointed to study the condition of heart surgery facilities at the KU Medical Center by Chancellor Ar-
nold P. McNaught was expected to release its findings today.
The committee was appointed last late year after charges by Robert Res, chief of cardioarthritis surgery, that the Med. department surgery facilities were inadequate.
organizations that discriminate on the basis of sex.
However, KU groups don't have to admit members of the opposite sex until a court or KU's Title IX review committee rules that they must.
The review committee on non-athletic organizations, including the single-sex honorary societies, is still writing its evaluations of various organizations affected. Jerry Waugh, assistant athletic director and committee member, said.
SACHEM, FOR senior men; Mortar Board, for senior women; Owl Society; for junior men, and CWENS, for sophomore men are the four single-sex societies affected.
Other single-sex professional fraternities such as Phi Chi Theta, women's business society, and Delta Sigma Pi and Alpha men's business societies, are also affected.
Joosserand said, "We talked to women in Martar Board. They really didn't seem to know why they went coed. They said they were happy with their coed life," said Joosserand said, "why not now and be progressive."
BRUCE WONER, StudEx chairman and Sachem member, said, "Everytime we ask questions about this we continue to hear feedback," she added. "Saves these organizations must go good."
Ed Roldt,身学生 body president and Sachem president, said "the letter" was a misrepresentation of Chancellor Archie R. Hicks. The Dykes' committee ruling at this time. The Dykes'

Dykes is scheduled to make an official ruling in July.
SHEERE MILLER, Mortar Board president, said her letter from Dykes was a reply to an inquiry from the Mortar Board national president. Miller said the letter had prompted the KU chapter to report at the national convention that an ultimatum has been issued to comply or not be allowed to exist anymore.
Miller quoted Dykes from the letter: "To remain in compliance, the chapter cannot be unanimous on the decision of the conference on Oct. 17 (1975). Of course, should the delegate votes to retain single-sex membership policies the University as required by law would have to withdraw its affiliation."
"I REGRET that this problem has occurred, for I am sure the framer of the original federal legislation did not foresee that organizations such as Mortar Board would be affected by regulations arising from the law."
Mortar Board voted to go coeducational nationally at the conference because of 17 campuses where similar ultimatums had been issued. Miller said other Big Eight chapters, including Kansas State University and the Universities of Nebraska and Iowa, were among those without ultimatums. CWENS has also gene coeducational

Tedde Tasheff and David Shapiro, student body presidential candidates, faced the issues and eyed each other in open debate in the Kansas Union last night.
The candidates spoke on the issues of the proposed satellite student union, the Kansas University Athletic Corporation (KUAC) ticket subsidy and Lawrence Gay Liberation, Inc., before a crowd of about 100 persons.
Tasheff said her experience and enthusiasm for the Student Senate were inseparable and she was well qualified to represent the student body. Tasheff, a senator for two years, said her work with two different Senates and student body helped to ensure that she was as qualified as Shapiro, who had only been a student senator for one year.
Each candidate and vice presidential runningmate made open remarks. Tedde Tasheff, Wichita junior, and her running mate, Steve Owens, Salina sophomore, the coin toss and spoke first.
SHE ALSO SAID she knew the committee structure and which committee to ask for her.
Tasheff said personal education was important and the student body president should be a good student as well as a good administrator.
Her coalition, Vox Populares (Latin for people's voice), hopes to get freshmen senators more involved in the Senate and to inform them from being a non-essential, she said.
Owens said he saw two new rules for the student body vice president in addition to the one she had already passed.
The vice president should be an adviser to first term senators, letting them know their opinions are being sought after and listened to. The vice president does the done through one-to-one communication.
OWENS SAID the vice president should
be the chief lobbyist for KU students in the Kansas Legislature. He pledged to push for funds to extend library hours and to increase support for women's athletics.
Shapiro and his running mate, Mark
Kelley, were senior, followed with
their opening remarks.
Shapiro, like Tasheff, emphasized experience as his main qualification for president. Shapiro said his experience in University government was broad.
Shapiro said he had experienced residence hall living and had gained insight by working with the deans of men and women as the president of Olver Hall. He also gained experience serving on the Association of University Residence Hills (AURH).
SHAPIRO SAID the major plank of the Insight Coalition's campaign platform was faculty accountability. Because students aren't allowed to enroll if they have an unpaid parking tickets, faculty members required to pay their parking fines, he said.
Shapiro said faculty members also shouldn't be allowed to check out books from Watson Library for extended lengths of time. He said that many professors had access to the library owned by their own books, and that the practice was denying students access to those books.
ANDERSON SAID the vice president's job involved administrative and public relations skills. The Senate in the past hadn't had common goals or been a very well-defined leader. Anderson said the vice president should be able to get everyone to work together.
He said the vice president needed to find out what services students wanted for their money and also needed to let the legislature know about KIT's needs.
Both candidates were in favor of the UUC ticket subset and last year's UUC ticket subset was too long.

Development budget OK'd by city
By MARY ANN DAUGHERTY
The Lawrence City Commission approved the proposed community development budget for fiscal 1976-77 last night after listening to skeptical members of the Lawrence Landlords Association (LLA). Kola Andrews, community development
Kyle Andregg, community development director, presented a $529,000 budget, $5,000 of which was earmarked for a housing survey.
BILL Lemes, LLA representative, said that the death would be due to death about lavance housing needs.
City Manager Buford Watson said the survey was needed because 1870 census reports, which provided housing information, weren't adequate for planning in
Lemes said he particularly opposed the proposed survey, which the League of Women Voters suggested, to determine whether students and University of Kansas students.
Mayor Barkley Clark said the survey
would be useful in acquiring federal funds for housing development.
The proposed budget calls for these expenditures: $25,000 for the Haskell Loop, $10,000 for the housing rehabilitation, $10,000 for surveys and planning, $13,000 for Lawrence improvement associations, $80,000 for aid development, $5,000 for housing fund and $5,000 for the housing survey.
State planners will review the total budget and send their recommendations to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, expected to approve the budget around June 1.
In other action, the commission said last night that it intended to adopt both the development outline prepared by the Citizens' Advisory Council, and Plan 95, a proposed development plan prepared by the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning
Clark said that if there was a conflict between the two plans, the city would abide
Clark said both plans were needed and suggested that the planning commission integrate the "Goals for Lawrence" in Plan 95 wherever possible.
Public hearings on Plan 55 begin today at 7 p.m. in the Community Building, 11th and Vermont. Hearings also have been scheduled for next Wednesday and March 3.
The commission also took action so that any city employee charged with a felony won't automatically be suspended from his job.
The commission amended last night a longstanding city policy so that such employees may remain with the city at the discretion of City Manager Ruford Watson.

by Plan 95, which would be the legal document for the city.
Mike Davis, planning commission chairman, said the "Goals for Lawrence" program was an outstanding document but wasn't tested with Plan 98 zoning specifications.

The American Indian student population at the University of Kansas has always been small, even though Haskell Indian Junior just a few miles from the University.
Out of this semester's enrollment of 21,368
students, the American Indian population is
less than half that of the United States.
Some Indian students at both schools have sad—and still say—there are three main reasons for this. First, the reasons are fear of prejudice from KU students, the University's reputation at Haskell as being difficult for Indian students in applying for financial aid.
Jerry Hutchison, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, said recently that the university has schools to improve communications between them. These efforts include recruitment drives at Haskell and orientation programs to create interest in KU at Haskell, he said.
HOWEVER, administrators at both schools are optimistic about increasing the number of KU recruits from Haskell, one of the largest funding bodies funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BAI).
Bill Burges, dean of instruction at Haskell, said that recently, Haskell students interested in KU had received little assistance from the University.
THE ADMINISTRATION of Chancellor Archie R. Dykes, he said, brought about a "dramatic change" in the attitude toward higher education where we organized effort to bring them to KU.

campaign that was optimistic about
the futures of the drive.
In the drive, KU faculty members and department heads went to Haskell to talk with students, Hutchison said. The drives were for five consecutive weeks last semester.
Haskell was a high school and trade school, Burgess said. In 1970 it became a community college, and added a liberal arts program to its vocational and technical
BURGESS SAID that in the past there had been a close association between Haskell and KU, but that it had been lost through the years...
This semester there are 1,001 students at Haskell, he said, representing 110 tribes from 32 states. Half of the students are in vocational training, and half are in vocational training, he said.

this association has started to come back,"

In 1974, CIA joined MECA, the campus Chicago organization, in filling a complaint with the Department of Health. Education not responding to the demand for not responding to the student's needs.
The two groups had presented to the administration a list of demands in which they said they wanted more minority faculty members, more minorities in administrative positions, and more financial assistance available to minority students.
