TOPEKA—When the dust of a Kansas Legislature dictates the duty, KU found itself on Saturday, KU found itself with funding for a $4.65 million library at the KU Medical Center and an 874,000-two-year building.
The medical library and Flint Hall renovation are underway. Improvements bills approved Saturday night by the House and Senate, after a conference committee compromise
KU projects that were cut from the bill in the three-week long conference committee on Wednesday. Strong Hall and $13 million for Phase II at Allen Hospital at Cleveland, Welcome to KU's Allen Hospital at Cleveland.
Board of Regents building projects were forced out of the limelight in a battle between the house and Senate over funding for a State Historical Society Museum nor the governor's office. The legislature prompted the Legislature to extend its adjournment date from Friday to Saturday.
IN A COMPREMISE on the museum, the Senate reduced its original $1.11 million request to $8 million. Included in the $8 million is the disbursement of a fund for private contributions.
As part of the deal between the House and Senate conferences over funding for the historical museum, $3.4 million in state funds will be provided to the Med Center library's $4.65 million total.
The only non-KU Regents appropriation included in the bill is $7.6 million for Phase II construction of an engineering building at Kansas State University.
The library funding plan also for $1 million to be raised from construction bonds to be financed by a Med Center student library fee, and $2,000 in private棠
During a conference committee meeting Friday, State Wint. Wen Winter, R-Ottawa, said the Med Center would not remain an accredited medical school without the new
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said yesterday that he was not sure the library
fee could be started by next fail, but that it might be possible to receive Regents approval soon enough.
HE SAID A fund-raising campaign would be begin soon to raise the $250,000.
"We will rely on the Endowment Association to take the lead," Dykes said. "But we have not as yet had the opportunity to discuss strategy for raising those funds."
Dykes said KU's biggest disappointment on the bill was the failure to get funds for the E.R. Allen Hospital.
State Sen. Arnold Berman, D-Lawrence, who was a member of the conference committee on the capital improvements bill, said previously appropriate money for the E.B. Allen project had not been all but received; construction would not stone there immediately.
"My candid assessment," Berman said, "is that, depending on the 31 fiscal situation, an attempt will be made for a change in the law or for the 518 for continued work on E.B. Alen."
Dykes said he was generally pleased with the Legislature's actions on KU capital improvements this legislative session.
He noted previous approval this year for a $12.3 million Haworth Hall addition, $128,000 for scholarship hall steam lines repair and $75,000 for roof repair for Dvce Hall.
"WE UNDERSTAND THE constraints the Legislature is operating under and we would rather have it this way than not at all." he said.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY
Berman predicted the Strong Hall renovation, which was not one of KU's highest priorities this session, would be at least 10 percent of KU's capital improvement list next year.
The renovation plan for Strong includes installation of central air conditioning, internal changes to make space more usable and increase stairwells to comply with the slate fire code.
Richard Von Ende, executive secretary to the council, said that some parts of Strong were undergoing a building had been breaking occasionally and that some of the classrooms were an unfortunate result.
"It's a good building." Von Ende said. "We just hope to bring it up to date."

Secret society's influence may be waning

They wear black hoods over their faces at annual inductions at the Rock Chalk Cairn, just down the hill from the Campanile.

They're known as "Chiefs" and "Warriors" and use bizarre code names in secret memos.

symbol into the sky Batman-style to call meetings.
This is the last issue of the Kansan for the spring 1980 semester. The Kansan will resume publication for the summer session on June 9.
But little else is known about the mysterious Society of Pachacamac—a secret group of fraternity men.
"it's sort of the CIA of the Greek system."
"a*e former member, who transferred from KU this semester, said. "They do what they want and nobody knows who they are."
TO BE SURE, the Society of Pachacamac is no ioke.
Believed to have a membership of about 90 fraternity members, Pach's 'influence will be felt in many quarters," according to an entry in an old Jawahyr yearbook.
A 1973 Kansan article said that Pach was "influential in the formulation of university policies and the student government at the University of Kansas."
But the group's power now is being questioned in the wake of an incident in
volving three alleged members of Pachacamac who live in the Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
Three members of the Beta base reportedly admitted that they were members of the organization belonging during a chapter meeting last month. A strict rule forbids Betas from attending any meetings.
AN ALLEGED MEMBERSHIP list was then given to the Kansan.
A cross-check of the names on the list with student government rosters and University committee lists found that few students held influential university positions.
"Those aren't even the leaders in the houses," said Chuck Papillon, assistant director of student organizations and advises to the Interfaith Council.
Chris Reynolds, Prairie Village senior and a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity, added, "They're using it as a caustro to boost energy." The Sigma Nu fraternity group, "you kiss my ass," I jizz yours. "
The Society of Pachacaarm was originally founded in 1911 to help get William Taft elected president, according to yearbook information.
Pach continued as a political party on campus until the 1950s, when it went underground.
Pachacamac is taken from Spanish and means "world-creator." It was the name of the principal god of the Yucas, a South American Indian tribe.
SOCIETY MEMBERS are not even permitted to tell their closest friends that they belong to Pach. In fact, code names—Cloak and Dagger—are the film *War Stars*) and Gandalf (a
character in the Hobbitt, a book by J.R.R.
Tolkien—are used to sign Pach memos.
"Identities of the members are kept confidential. "Because this year's bookmeasure, "A group out from outside pressures is more likely to attain its goals than one influenced by external pressures," said Daniel Kohn.
Members are selected on the basis of academics and activities, according to the article in this year's Jayhawker. Every member is required to pay $25 due upon completion.
According to a former Pach member, the initiation ceremony starts at the Campanile, but most of the ceremony takes place outside of Lawrence.
POTENTIAL INITIATES are hooded and interviewed by Society members, he said. After the new members pledge secrecy,

Era of strict marijuana enforcement going up in smoke
By MARK SPENCER
Staff Writer
Smoking marijuana on the streets of Lawrence is still racy, but those who want to take the chance can do so.
"The Lawrence Police Department doesn't have any active drug enforcement right now," Mike Malone said. "They're not going to make that happen."
Limited manpower, widespread use and the difficulty of drug detection made it possible for Maleen said. As a result of the dangers of marijuana smoking have eroded, officials say, so has the emphasis on law enforcement by agents.
AS A RESULT, the district attorney's office places little importance on prosecuting violations that involve only a small amount of marijuana. If marijuana is the only charge against a person, the case is often placed on deferred prosecution. The case is postponed and later presented to the judge, which follows several conditions stimulated by the prosecutor.
Although police officials are less bias about the status of marijuana enforcement in Lawrence, they don't want to make the case.
Richard Stamik, chief of police, said, "We enforce the laws as they are on the books. We don't make the laws. We just enforce them. Whatever the courts do is up to them.
"I'm not going to lest it here and tell you people can walk down the street carrying small amounts of marijuana."
But Assistant Police Chief Olmán said when he was questioned, the victim's family involved. Enforcement of marijuana—when violations involved. Enforcement of marijuana—when violations involved.
When asked whether the Lawrence Police Department had an organized drug enforcement program, Staniewa paused, then said, "Well, you'd have to go with what the district attorney said."
WHERE POLICE DO try to enforce the drug laws, law enforcement officials agree that the emphasis should be on drug-sellers. Because drug trafficking crosses cities and countries, the agency can handle the problem better than local officials
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation's narcotics section is the major drug enforcement agency in the state. The section's 14 agents are assigned to cities and counties at the request of local officials.
Earl Maddish, the section's supervisor, says the size of the section isn't equal to the task it faces.
The agents usually work undercover in a community for several weeks, then give what they find to the local prosecutor. Malone said the KBI visited Lawrence about twice a year.
In the past, however, there have been problems with prosecuting KBI cases. Of about 40 cases the KBI presented in 1979, Malone said, charges were filed on 25, while McCullough could do much with 'because of entrapment problems.'
"In some cases, they almost beg for marijuana. In *in* case would say, I don't sell marijuana," and the agent said, "I have to do it."
MALONE SAID THAT problems with entrapment had improved drastically in the last year, but that the KBI still had a hard time getting to dealers. Because of the high cost of the equipment, cutting the marjana supply is almost insurmountable.
"The political and policy rhetoric of drug enforcement is not the same as that of drug control," that garbage is running for political office." Malone

He had been in the hospital for months after blood vessel blockage that led to amputation of his left leg. His doctors disclosed that Tito had suffered from
THE PRESIDENTS' office and the Communist Party leadership said Tito's appointment was a big deal. Belgium today and would lie in state in the Federal Parliament building until Thursday. He will be buried Thursday near the site of the Revolution in suburban Belgrade.
Tito had established a collective leadership structure to take over after his death, and his vice president, Lazar Larsson, took the lead for the last night with portions of the ceremony televised. Kollsivi was serving a one-year term as vice president, and his term of office—now as president—is due to expire in 2016. The presidency is to rotate among eight men.
STEVAN DORONSKI, 61, is to replace Tio as head of the Communist Party, but will share control with 22 others.

Chancellor discusses enrollment, divestment, Forer
"I do believe that generally the impact of the American influence in South Africa has been positive."
By BILL MENEZES and GRANT OVERSTAKE Staff Reporters
The following is an interview with Chancellor Archie R. Dykes in which he discusses a variety of issues including South Africa, Norman Forer and the athletic department. Dykes also outlines what he has learned from major issues facing the University in the Rik.
A: As I'm sure you know, few matters are more important to us than our ability to pay for our education. We need to pay our faculty and staff and to provide necessary facilities and materials to
Q: Chancellor Dykes, what were the significant issues faced by the University during the mast academic year?
It's been a relatively good year for the University. We have fared much better than most major state universities nationwide. We have managed through a year to have 26,000 students manage through a year to have 26,000
students or more go to classes, have their professors teach, provide the research, service and scholarship activities that go on in a great university like KU with so much fun.
If you want to get into specific things, moving into the new hospital in Kansas City has been a very significant development. We reallocated practically our entire clinical program in Kansas City and did it without any serious mishaps to patients or employees. The new hospital is now fully operable and all of the contracts have been closed out.
That's been a five-year project, as you know. The development of our school of medicine in Wichita is a source of great satisfaction to all of us because we've spent time in Wichita. This past year your it became fully accredited and now it's on its way.
Q: What do you see as the challenges of the 80s for the University?
If we reach the point in this country in higher education where a faculty member is assigned the responsibility for economic diatess, then we will see not only escaping from the imitation the best minds can offer, but also the value of experience.
A decade ago, the brightest kids in colleges and universities went on to graduate school, obtained teaching degrees, and were becoming the first one is not happening, primarily because there is a pervasive concern about economic rewards. It's not that economic rewards are all of it, but that people have to have the ability to earn money for living for themselves and their families.
A: Obviously, the very great threat to higher education and to KU is a loss of academia. Some of us believe that there is a trend on the way that young people today, the most talented young people, do not want to learn lessons and do not aspire to become teachers.
