Senate finishes budget; passes seat resolution
By KERRY BARSOTTI and SARAH TOEVS Staff Writers
The Student Senate completed its spring budget process last night by allocating $8,435 to the International Club and its nine member groups.
Approval of the International Club's budget came after lengthy debate about the club's fiscal responsibility and the possible involvement of the Arab and Iranian student organizations in the demonstration against Rabin Rabin's appearance on campus April 17.
The Senate also voted on resolutions
concerning student seating at football games and women's athletics.
The International Club opposed the separate budgets, saying it would hinder the club's ability to fund the organization of foreign groups not vet organized.
Chris Caldwell, former Senate treasurer, said the ability of the club to transfer funds to other clubs was limited.
approval would give the club the flexibility to track the expenditure. Senate to keep track of the club spending.
Ed Bigus, Senate parliamentarian, opposed funding the Arab and Iranian organizations, because of the behavior of the group's members at the Rabin speech.
He said that the Arab and Iranian students violated his rights by preventing him from being able to listen to Kabin and presenting their organizations in doing so.
"When groups act in an abominable mature and violate students' rights, they can be a source of anger."
Steve Cramer, Lawrence freshman, disagreed with Bigus, saying there was no way to associate the organizations with the Arabs and imply that because they were Arabs and Iranians.
The budgets for the groups were finally anovored by a narrow margin.
The Senate also voted to defeat a Sports Committee resolution expressing student
Students propose Watson extension

Two University of Kansas architecture students say the solution to the space shortage that has plagued Watson Library lies right in front of the building. They have designed a proposal for building an underground extension to Watson.
John Miller, Kellerton, Iowa, junior, and Mike Alley, Wichita junior, with the help of Robert Gould, assistant professor of architecture and urban design, have devised a plan to build two floors underground and in front of Watson, totaling 287,000 square feet.
Through a slide presentation and a written report, given to the Senate Libraries Committee Tuesday afternoon, Miller and Alley explained that the extension would allow them to visit the Library, under Jayhawk Boulevard at an entrance off Sunflower Boulevard.
GOULDLA A design class in the School of Architecture and Urban Design became interested in the future of the library system a year ago and had studied the problem.
The facility would go from 18 to 20 feet down at a cost of approximately $13 million. This was compared with a cost of about $17 million for the same amount of building space above ground.
Through data that the class received from the libraries, Alley and Miller established three major advantages to extending the library underground.
The first advantage, they said, was keeping all of the branch libraries in one central area, rather than the current system and spread them out through many buildings.
"We thought that the idea of having a single facility for the faculty and the students to go to was a very sound one," he said.
Gould said it did not make sense to con-
clude the existing branch libraries unless
it was necessary.
Alley said that the awareness and exposure to the other areas of study was severely limited by putting the materials into different buildings.
"CULTURALLY, WE need more ex-
pressions to the different disciplines." he said.
The second advantage to building underground was the energy cost. Gould said the heating and cooling loss was much less than the facility than in an aboveground building.
"Soil is a very good insulator from heating and cooling loss," he said.
Gould said that in the long run, building underground was economically more effec-
"The initial cost is offset by lower energy bills in the future." Gould said.
He said that it was easier to control the temperature in an underground facility because the temperature from 6 feet on top stayed between 55 and 88 degrees all year.
"Temperature control in a library has to be very good because of the books," he said.
Miller said the third advantage would be the lower cost of building an underground facility. Building underground would also save the cost of the outside covering of a building, such as brick or stone, that must be added to an above ground facility.
For the two years that it would take to complete the project, Gould said, the area in front of Watson would have to be torn up, but Mr. Watson agreed, much of the foliage would be put back.
Aley said there were a number of different possibilities for the land around Watson's presentation, it was stressed that the lawn and Watson was important aesthetically to the University. He said the front of Watson's campus is a beautiful university and was an important visual point.
"WE WANT TO try to leave it as natural as possible," he said.
Gould said that many individuals had shown interest in the proposal and that it was gaining support. Several other researchers extended their library systems underfunded.
Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., had had an underground extension to their building.
Edward Williams, associate University Librarian for Harvard, said yesterday that the new Pussey Library was an extension of a library developed in 1858 to expand the library system.
Williams said Pusey consisted of two floors that each contained reading rooms and book stacks totaling about one million volumes.
He said the facility was easy to heat and cool and they have had no complaints

Cabinet members urge sale of jets
Capsules From the Associated Press, United Press International
WASHINGTON—Two Carter administration cabinet officials and the acting chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff yesterday implored Congress to approve the sale of jet fighters to three Midwest countries. Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance, Defense Secretary Harold Brown and Air Force General David Jones warned that if the deal fell through, U.S. security interests in the region would be imperilled.

UN to increase force in Lebanon
TYRE, Lebanon—The U.N. Security Council yesterday approved a request by Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim to increase the interim peacekeeping force in Lebanon from 4,000 men to 6,000 because of recent guerrilla attacks that left two Frenchmen dead and 12 others wounded. The two-hour ambush of the French patrol was the worst since the U.N. Security Council dispatched troops to southern Lebanon last month. See story page two.
Fukuda vows trade imbalance cut
The University of Kansas Medical Center has one of 27 breast cancer detection centers in the United States. The centers, established in 1973 by he three breast cancer research groups, are the largest breast cancer. For example, the Cancer Institute recommends that only women over 50 be X-ray if they have no symptoms because women in that age group show the largest percentage of cancer incidence. However, doctors still cover the dangers of using X-rays to detect breast cancer. See story page nine.
WASHINGTON—Japanese Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda promised President Jimmy Carter yesterday that he would substantially cut Japan's huge trade imbalance with the United States this year and offered to pay in advance for enriched uranium for Japan's nuclear plants. Fukuda also pledged that imports of U.S. goods to ease bilateral trade problems. The current surplus war fund is $14 billion, which the Japanese have promised to cut to $6 billion.

Everyone agrees that the green hills overlooking Clinton Lake southwest of Lawrence will create green hills of another land for —for some landowners and developers.
The landowners and developers hope that the 7,000-acre lake will draw permanent residents to its shores by making the purity of the water near and the lake lucrative for house builders.
But nobody knows exactly who will rake in the profits from the development of houses
and businesses around the lake or when the development will occur.
Two men who have been named by other realtors as the most likely to succeed in the Clinton Lake land development game are John C. Grew, Lawrence realtors and developers.
Billings and McGrew control a 25 percent share in an investment group. Lake Estates owns approximately 10 percent.
Plans call for an exclusive neighborhood of 10 to 12 large lots surrounding the lake, according to McGrew. The rest of the land will be divided into 100 lots, he said, which will include water sports areas who wish to enjoy the fishing, hunting and water sports available at Clinton Lake.
Lawrence and the dam. Records at the Kansas secretary of state's office list the value of the land alone at $942,000, or $2,287 an acre.
ABOUT 100 acres of the Lake Estates' development, called Yankee Tank, was used to create the pool and flood plain for a 50-acre lake.
The cost of developing land may be driving some developers from the market, according to Eugene Haley, of Holmes, Peck, and Birom Realtors. Bringing
In addition, each year Lake Estates holds the property, it will add an 8 to 10 percent carrying charge to cover the interest paid on course, the corporation wants a profit.
The price of the lots, McGrew said, will depend on demand. But, he said, Lake Estate wants to retrieve its cost of land, which includes utilities and providing utilities, streets and sidewalks.
Two weeks remain to file lawsuit brief

David Dysart, Med Center legal counsel who is prosecuting the case for the state, said yesterday that he would file the state's position within the next two weeks. He said
The attorney for the state of Kansas has only two more weeks to file his legal brief concerning a lawsuit involving construction contracts at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
The question involved is whether the city of Kansas City, Kan., can collect building permits and impose its building code on state property with state money.
In December, the state filed a lawsuit against the city challenging the city's attempts to collect the building fee for the radiation center.
The larger issue is home rule, which Kansas City has adopted and which makes the city an independent body governed by its own laws and isolated from the power of the state.
Before construction of the radiation center began, the city tried and failed to collect a $6,000 building fee from the state. A restraining order was issued by the Wyandotte County District Court so that construction could be begin as scheduled.
WHEN COMPLETED, the center will
have the most advanced equipment
available for the job.
