Leben seeks funding compromise
Bv MELISSA THOMPSON
Staff Writer
A compromise is possible on a much-debated University of Kansas recognition policy that prohibits religious, political or gay groups from applying for student activity fee money, Steve Leben, student body president, said yesterday.
Leben said he had been discussing a Student Senate petition that calls for the elimination of KU's recognition policy with David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, and a compromise on the question was possible.
was possible. These group are oriented toward religious, or political activities or that express sexual preference from applying for student activity fee money. Students ask for the elimination of that policy.
KU officials did not take action on the petition last semester but waited, instead, for a legal opinion of the request from Mike Davis, University General Counsel.
DAVID'S LEBEN SAID he had received a letter from David explains that funding of religious and political organizations would be illegal and unconstitutional.
Davis' letter also said the prohibited funding of gay groups was not discriminatory because the number of Apples that unpaid KU's right to refuse such funds
Leben said Davis' opinion probably meant that the part of the policy that prevented the funding of religious and political groups would remain untouched.
"if that's his legal opinion, I think we're sunk on those two issues," he said.
However, Leben said, it might still be possible for gay groups to be allowed to apply for activity fee money. Such a group has been able to enter between the administration and the Senate.
AMBLER SAID last night that although no legal or constitutional barrier existed that prohibited the funding of gay groups, the prohibition was a matter of University
policy. Currently, he said, funding gay groups was not acceptable.
He said he was discussing alternatives to the Senate position with Leben, in the hope of finding a policy that would make funding gay groups more acceptable.
Todd Vanlalaningham, coordinator of Gay Services of Kansas, said last night that it was possible that his group would apply for a grant to help pay the rent and utilities if the policy were changed.
He said also that it was conceivable that Gay Services would not consider applying at the job.
responsible to the Student Senate," he said. "But we do not enjoy the fact that regulations discriminate against us."
"We enjoy the autonomy of not being
LEBEN SAID there could be a problem finding an alternative that would be consistent with the Senate petition. It would be too late, he said, to go to the current Senate before it leaves office and draft a new proposal.
"If there is no way to compromise the situations, we could accept that," Leben said.
He said that, regardless of the outcome, he wanted a decision to be made before he would step forward.
Dancers imitate a dream
Bv ELAINE DULIN
Reviewer
Was I sleep? Or was I really dreaming? The essence, the unreality of sleep and dreams, has been captured in the *Transmensioner*'s book *Transmeneria*' in the *William Inge Theatre*.
Seven dancers guided the audience through the stages of sleep, from dreams to rapid eye movements to insomnia. The dancers were then joined by an elderly connected by the idea of sleep.
According to the program, "Transmorphia" is derived from the prefix 'trans,' meaning across, and "Morpheus," the Greek zod of dreams.
The many-sectioned performance included several forms of stage communication, such as speech, singing, music, voiced sound effects, modern and jazz dancing and even an excellent spoof on ballet.
THE MUSIC came from many periods of music in the past. Here is a jazz composition by Laftee, an early jazz composer.
Frances Ginsburg, Dallas senior, contributed her performance of a series of vocal selections. Some of the vocal pieces

Mike Thomas, director of KU Police, said yesterday that he also had met with Secret Service agents and with Ford's advance departments. The appointments are scheduled for next week, he said.
"A lot of the preparation is pending on future meetings," he said. "However, it will take a lot of preparation and a long day to make things go smoothly on our end."
Thomas said that next week he would begin preparations involving the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the Kansas Highway Department, the Lawrence police department and the Douglas County sheriff's department.

The most delightful part of the performance was a scene in which Harris and Manley posed as classical ballerinas in a slapstick rivalry for the spotlight and the attention of the male partner, danced by Dennis Flemming, Overland Park junior.
