Stadium fence problem continues
Mike Harper, student body president, announced at last night's Student Senate meeting that student renovation funds will be provided by the University at the end south of Memorial Stadium.
The University of Kansas Athletic Corporation board last December voted to use student renovation funds, which are raised through a ticket surcharge, to build a concrete wall at the south end of the building. The students were dropped after student protest surfaced.

board approved use of funds, which might remain from a current $1.8 million stadium renovation project, to finance the building of a chain link fence.
THE RENOVATION project increased the cost of a student season football ticket, through a ticket surcharge, by 50 cents a game and single game public tickets by $1 a
Clyde Walker, director of athletics, said the renovation was necessary because the existing fence needed to be replaced for security reasons and to provide more exits.
A U.N. statement issued Monday said Shevchenko, 47, "was absenting himself" from his $70,000-a-year post because of a dispute with the university and was considered to be on 'leave.'
Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim, on a visit to Ireland, said yesterday that he did not know whether Shevchenko would seek political asylum. He said that he was sure Shevchenko did not want to return to the Soviet Union.
IN MOSCOW, a woman claiming to be Shevchenko's wife said she thought he was held by Americans against his will. But the U.S. government denied inroads to the incident, which Shevchenko's manager declined to characterize as a defection.
Arkady N. Shevchenko, the top Soviet employee of the United Nations, remained in hiding yesterday while a Soviet official sought to portray him as a problem drinker influenced by U.S. intelligence agents to off his job and stay in the United States.

According to Harper, Dykes said he would introduce a curriculum of student renovation funds to buildings.

EARLIER IN THE meeting, Rub Kuby, Lawrence junior, said he opposed Senate funding for the Iranian Student Association and the Organization of Arabian Students.
