AURH to send apology for Dinner pairings
By PAULA SOUTHERLAND

Several minority students will receive letters this week from an Association of University Residence Hills Hall committee nologoing their misunderstanding that last month.
The letter stems from complaints of possible discrimination in the way minority students were paired with legislators at the Legislators' dinner Feb. 2.
Each year at the dinner, sponsors and representatives are invited to an evening with the children.
PHILL KAUFMAN chairman of the
Legislators' dinner committee, said last month that a committee member had asked Sharon Parker, Lewis Hall president, to recruit minority students to be paired with legislators at the dinner. Kaufman refused to identify the committee member.
Erica Walker, Legislators' Dinner committee member, said that as soon as she received application forms from students they were matched with students in the same class. Then, matched, students were double matched to legislators or were assigned as greeters, she said.
WALKER SAID that she had not been told that minority students were specially
recruited, and that by the time she received their forms, students already were being double matched or assigned as greeters.
Kaufman said it was not until the night of the murder that he was told that some minority students had not been paired with legislators.
leekman said the misunderstanding occurred because of a lack of communication within the committee about plans for the dinner.
The letter, which will be sent by the Legislators' Dinner committee, will apologize to an unclesided number of
students involved for any hurt feelings caused by the misunderstanding, Kaufman said.
THE DECISION to send the letter from the committee was made at a special meeting Monday night.
Jess Paul, AURH president, presented a petition to the AURH general assembly Monday at its usual meeting that called for a task force of two executive board members, two assembly members and one AURH adviser to investigate the allegations of possible discrimination and to recommend action, if necessary.

An NBC sports film crew might have seemed out of place yesterday in an introductory biochemistry class, but it actually was in the right place.
Ken Koenigs, senior forward, is in the class, and Koenigs was exactly who the television crew was looking for.
Dan Baker, sports information director, said yesterday that NBC sports was at the University of Kansas to film footage of Koenigs and Darnell Valentine, freshman guard. The footage will be part of a pregame feature on KU to be aired for the first round games of the NCAA basketball subregions March 11 and 12.
Koenigs, 6-10, was voted to the Associated Press All-Big Eight first team and the UPI
All-Big Eight second team. He ranks among the 15 career scouts and a rebuilder of Kansas and holds the school record for field goal percentage in conference games.
KOENIG CARRIES a 3.97 grade point average and was accepted into the University of Kansas Medical School this year.

Baker said the date the NBC film would be shown would depend on where KU played in the movie. The NBC film will be released on Friday.
If the Jayhawks win the Big Eight post-season tournament this weekend, they will play in the sub-regions in Wichita on March 12.

HERscope to list events concerning women
Events by, for and about women will be getting excited by this spring with projects of project IHER3.
Nancy, Hiebert, administrative coordinator of HERSCose, a coalition of University of Kansas organizations, said recently that the project was started when a group of women began looking at the number of events for women at KU.
"All the sudden we started looking around and it seemed there were hundreds of things going on in the campus by women," she said.
AURH has been representative of minority students in the past and has pledged to assure total representation, including minorities, Paul said.
The group began work early this semester
caring for the listing all of their carve-
ings where needed this spring.
Ann Gottberg of the Dean of Women's Office said the brochure and calendar should be ready within two weeks.
The group also plans to mail beweikey calendars to events to department heads successfully.
Hiebert said the project's goal was to heighten awareness of women's events and to model for models for women.
This is the first time women's events on campus have been drawn together so concisely, Göttberg said, and it may be the last time because the time and money to create a brochure, calendar may preclude contribution and of HERscope next year.
Hiebert said the project would be evaluated at the end of the semester.
"If it should be highly successful or people say it is useful to have the events laid out for
them, those would be things to consider when thinking about continuing the project next year.
HERSci operates on a $400 budget provided by the Adult Life Resource Center, the Commission on the Status of Women, the KU-Y, the Women's Coition and Women's Studies. The project is also receiving assistance from Fine Arts and the University Theatre, Hashing Hall and the Dean of Women's Office.
Some of the events to be included on the HEReSCale calendar are the coming of three women writers in residence, sponsored by the English department; lectures by two women in the Humanities Lecture Series; and the arrival of a woman guest director for the University production of the opera, Falstaff.
A worker declined to comment on the complaints or the circumstances leading to their complaint.

Also included will be exhibits of women's
from 35 to 40 events will be included in the calendars and brochure, Hiebert said.
Thomas O'Donnell, associate professor of English, said the English department was able to sponsor more courses because it received a National Endowment for the Arts Grant for the first time. Because of the grant, he will be able to offer more women and offer them more money.
Robert C. Spires, chairman of the Humanities Lecture Series Committee, said it was not unusual for two women to be giving lectures in the series. In past years there have been as many as three and as few as none.
The petition was tabled in favor of the meeting, which was held after the AURH meeting and was closed to the press.

Epilepsy drug appealed
From page one

WASHINGTON (AP)—The government yesterday approved an ant-inconvulsive drug that experts predict will help more than a half-million victims of epilepsy, some of whom are implicated by hundreds of sections a day.
The drug, valproic acid, is chemically similar to sodium valproate, a drug that has been available in Europe for a decade and that has been used for treatment of seizures by the Epilepsy Foundation of America to win U.S. approval for its use.
BUT HOGGARD said that like the University Daily Kansan, which is distributed daily from 40 points on campus, students are told to respond for local readers to respond to what they read.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Deputy Postmaster General William F. Bolger, a career postal employee, was named yesterday as postmaster general by the Postal Service's
"The UDK is the only other publication allowed on campus and it includes the editors' names," she said. "If they're going to make it easy for people to indicate, it's pleasure or displeasure." It makes sense you should, too," she told Vanderbilt.
The petition presented by Vanderhorst also included a request to cut back distribution of Today's Student from two days to Monday only. Vanderhorst said he was not yet sure whether the organization was any part of the request to the committee.
"I think they have legitimate concerns," he said. "I can understand concerns about litter or cluttering the campus. We're sensitive to those but we're also concerned that constitutionally we have a right to distribute the paper."
Postal board names postmaster general
The FDA said it found valproic acid to be effective treatment for petit mal epilepsy, a form of brain disorder that causes momentary loss of consciousness in the agency. The medication may be used when used with other drugs to control other types of seizure seizures.
The Epipteryx Foundation predicts at least 560,000 epilepsy patients who suffer more than one seizure a year and who have received any drug, their drugs can benefit from valproic acid.
Valproic acid will be marketed in this
country by Abbott Laboratories of Chicago under the brand name Depakene.
