The Unification Church has a split personality...
there are those who say the Unification Church is preparing the world for the coming of Christ, establishing the kingdom of God and helping young people find true values in life.
On the other hand, there are those who say the church brainwashes people, uses its money to support the Reverend Sun Myung Bos in a way that goes from which the church makes large profits.
BOTH SIDES HAD a chance to present their opinions last night on a question-and answer session aired on radio station KHKFM 91. Listeners also were invited to call in
Jim Stephens, director of the Unification program in Lawrence, was the guest on the program.
The Unification Church established a center in Lawrence last January. Five church members, who call themselves missioners, have been holding open house every Tuesday and Thursday at the center, 1545 Rhode Island St.
TO INFORM students about these meetings, Stephens said, members have been handing out surveys on campus about students' attitudes towards religion.
But one questioner said church members
not properly identify themselves to
students.
Stephena denied the statement. "Don't assume they never identify themselves," he said.
"We can't be responsible for all our church members," he said later in the broadcast. "Some of them are probably over zealous."
The purpose of the Unification Church, Stephens said, is to tell the world of the divine revelation Moon, founder of the church, had received. The world could then prepare for the second coming of Christ, he said.
"The CHURCH wants to restore the world to its original perfect state," Stephens said. "Man fell from grace and we are trying to rebuild the perfect world we once knew."
The Lawrence center, Stephens said, is supported by a donation from one of the members. He said members would support flowers and/or flowers in order to lightly or flowers or by getting jobs in Lawrence.
Stephens said church members were not required to give up their worldly goods when they entered the Church.
"EVERYONE always has the choice of what they give up when they join," he said. "We encourage those with outside jobs to work together with those of their income but it's never required."
Stephens said he wasn't sure how Moon was supported.
"I guess he's a millionaire," he said. "At least, that's what I've heard. I think Moane has corporate holdings that are in the church's name."
Stephens disagreed that Unification Church members were programmed or
"EVERYONE comes and goes of their own free will," he said. "No one is forced to do it."
Stephens said deprogrammers were really brainwashers.
Deprogrammers take people from the
vulnification Church and try to change their
beliefs.

Code not clear on grade cases

Student Senators have tried to establish a grade appeals court since November, but students already may have a way to appeal grades.
Chris Caldwell, Overland Park senior and member of the University Council's Academic Procedures and Policies Committee, said yesterday that grade appeals possibly could be considered by the University Judiciary.
The University Judiciary deals with students, faculty and staff members who file charges against other people at the University.
THE JUDICIARY's hearing division, which would deal with grade appeals, is an eight-member board consisting of a presiding officer, students and faculty.
members' Caldwell said that because the University Senate code was vague, grade appeals might be included in the Judiciary's powers.
"There isn't any real clarity in the code, he said.
The Senate passed a petition to the University Council in December asking it to form a court of Student Academic Appeals. The council approved an Executive Committee last week forwarded
the Senate's petition to the Academic Procedures and Policies Committee.
"Academic Procedures and Policies will at least clarify what now exists," he said.
CALDWELL, WHO wrote the petition considered by SenEx, said placing grade appeals under the Judiciary was one option the committee would consider.
Caldwell said he thought the University Judiciary might be able to handle grade appeals because it did not have too many cases.
But he said some change might have to be made in the membership of the Judiciary's
LAWRENCE KELLER, assistant professor of political science and chairman of the Judiciary's hearing division, said that although the Judiciary probably would have time to handle grade appeals it might not be the place for them.
Keller said that heartings could bog the Judiciary down and that grade appeals would be better handled in a more informal manner.
"That's what the ombudsman is for," he said.

Commission delays action in Clinton zoning requests

A decision on four requests for commercial zoning near Clinton Lake was delayed again yesterday by the Douglas County Commission.
The commission voted unanimously to delay consideration of the requests until right-of-way acquisition for the proposed Clinton Parkway is completed, forcing landowners to halt commercial development plans.
The right-of-way, which the county must买, cuts through all the land for which zoning was requested. The highway would connect to other highways and streets to the eastern end of Clinton Lake.
If federal funds for the additional cost are
THE COMMISSIONERS are afraid the price of the right-of-way will rise if the land is commercially zoned. The commission became particularly concerned about the Parkway's cost after it learned had more money to spend and had risen from $9.9 million to $8.4 million.
not granted, the county would have to pay
one hundred dollars for four-
nine-hour highway with two bicycle paths.
"I'm not willing to do anything that would affect the price of the land acquisition," she said.
PETER WHITENIGHT, commission
chairman, agreed.
"From the reports we've heard there is a strong possibility that the certainty of zoning the land would raise the valuation of the right-of-way," he said. "We want to make sure that the valuations of the right-of-way are settled."
The county has contracted with the Kansas Department of Transportation for appraisal of the land and negotiation of its purchase.
George Oosthout, chief appraiser for the department, said last week that land was appraised for its highest and best use. If the land had potential commercial use, it would be appraised higher if it did not have commercial zoning.

Architects suspended in Med Center dispute

Legal repercussions from construction at the University of Kansas Medical Center surfaceaded this week when two Kansas nurses who were accused to surrender their licenses for six months.
The architects, Frank Fisher and Kenneth R. McLain, both were involved in construction of a more than $12 million basic sciences building, Orr-Mar Hall.
Fisher and McLain have agreed to give up their licenses to practice in Kansas for six months, and both will be on probation for one year after the suspension is lifted, according to Douglas Flatt, chairman of the State Board of technical Professions.
Melain, Fisher and another architect,
Charles Campbell, all had been granted immunity from prosecution in a 1973 architectural kickback case involving the Med Center's basic sciences and clinical facilities buildings.
THE SUSPENSIONS were announced
Sunday following filing of a complaint by the board and a subsequent investigation.

Imported beer not popular among students
By DENISE RUPP
The situation at private clubs is similar. Tim Griffith, a bartender at the 7th Spirit Club, said the club sold six to eight cases of Heineken every week at $1.06 a bottle. The staff said it, he said, often is older and more sophisticated than are most college students.

The defendants were allegedly involved in a plot to contribute $30,000 to the 1972 reelection campaign of then Gov. Robert Docking in exchange for the award of the $500,000 design contract for Orr-Major and the clinical facility.
The majority of beer drinkers mention one brand as their favorite, but most of them don't object to drinking whatever is on tap. In Lawrents bars, that is likely to be an American cereal malt beverage, beer with more than 3.2 percent alcohol by volume.
IMPORTS CAN be found at any liquor store, and Heineken and a few other foreign beers are served at some of the private clubs. But even where they are available, imports are among the least popular selections.
When the man behind the bar says, "What'll it be?" to a University of Kansas student, he almost can be certain that the student is Coors, Miller, Michelob or Indweiser.
"YOUR AVERAGE drunk doesn't drink it." he said.
Although the number of imported beers available on the market is increasing, students seem to be sticking with their old, favorite American brands.
case, which named 24 defendants for bribery conspiracy in 1974.
"Students may come in on a Friday night and buy some for a treat" one liquor store employee said, "but imported beer just isn't a really wild seller."
Imported beers have a few loyal supporters, especially among students who have lived in foreign countries and acquired the habit of drinking stronger-tasting beer. Imported beers may have a higher alcohol content and have less of the brewing ingredients refined out than do American beers. But the more common ale of American import is fine, at prices as high as $5 for a six-pack, it's just not worth the money.
Still another choice recently added to the market is the light beers. Selling at the same price as regular beer in most bars, they now account for up to 20 percent of total sales.
Kansas liquor laws are partially responsible for discouraging the sale of imported beer in the state. Most foreign beers have an alcohol content greater than the 3.2 percent allowed for sale to people under the age of 21 years.
Bartenders at Father's and the Lawrence Opera House said light beer made up only 1 to 2 percent of their total sales, but 8 to 12 percent of Mother's sell 20 to 28 percent light beer.
Some students said they would drink imports all the time if they could afford them. Others preferred the taste of American brands.
The message from the students is becoming clear. The rest of the world can keep its beer. KU students stand behind American brands.
THE THREE men were not indicted because they were used as witnesses in the case. Vern Miller, then state attorney for New York, said it is now Sedwick County district attorney.
However, Campbell soon will be named in a misconduct complaint filed by the board, Mark Bennett Jr., attorney for the board, said.
Bennett said a hearing before the board had been scheduled for McLain and Fisher, but an agreement was reached among the attorneys in the case instead.
BENNETT SAID he did not know if additional complaints would be brought against others involved in the kickback case.
At least one conviction related to the kickback case is now being appealed.

Other legal actions involving the basic science could have resulted in lawsuits.
