Fall student elections approved by Senate
By KATHY KASE
Staff Reporter
The bill to change the elections date originally was introduced at last week's Senate meeting, but was tabled because of war-related problems.
Wrapping up its last meeting of the academic year, the Student Senate voted to hold a weeklong body elections from the week before spring break to the week before Thanksgiving. The students will then begin their final semester.
The bill last night met early opposition from Liberal Arts and Sciences senator Jari Borelli. Borelli tried to amend the bill so the change would become effective November
"The reason I am doing this is because we are responsible as senators to serve our outstretched hands. You will be voted for us they were saying, in effect, we voted for you to serve a full term," which means that the senator was
BORRELL SAID he supported the basic intent of the bill, but said it would be fairer to implement the bill when students knew the Senate term would be cut short.
But Greg Schacke, student body president, said he opposed Borelli's amendment because this year's Senate should impose the shortened term upon
"If you feel that this will cause the betterment of the Senate and the system we work in and operate, then you better take it up during your term offer," Schineck said.
Another source of heated Senate debate was a bill to provide funding from the Senate's unilateral account for the Kansas court order that would be implemented by KU School of Law students who provide legal services to state and federal prison inmates. The project requested funding because it missed the deadline or this year's Senate budget bearings.
THE $40 BUDGET request was below what the project needed to function. Maria had a budget that would take whatever it could get. He reminded the Senate that it had allocated $40,000.
But Steve Cramer, Senate executive secretary, oppressed the Kansas Defender Project because participants received academic credit for their work.
"There are up to 24 students, I believe,
that are chosen by faculty members," he
"Now, if they're chosen by faculty members, I don't know if we have what we can call student control here. I don't think this is in line with the student activity fee."
Student selection by faculty members was necessary, Pepon said, because the project needed competent participants.
BREN ABBOTT. Senate treasurer, objected to the bill because the project requested money from the unallocated fund.
The bill, which needed two-thirds, or 35 votes, to pass because it was requesting unallocated funds past budget deadline, failed by a vote of 34-19.
The Senate, however, defeated the motion to suspend the rules and did not consider the bill.
Also considered last night was a motion by graduate senator John Machatto to confer with the Senate about meetings. Machatto moved to suspend Senate rules to consider the bill because it
The bill would have allowed three 5-minute pro and con speeches for every debatable motion. There is no limit now.
IN OTHER BUSINESS, the Senate voted to fund the KU Weather Service for a weather wrest substation and supported a bill that would beer be sold in Memorial Stadium.
The KU Weather Service asked for $500 in weather services for the station, so they needed to receive more up-to-date weather information, Travis Meyer, president of the weather department.
The resolution, submitted by Concerned Students for Higher Education, stipulated that all proceeds from beer sales in the stadium would go to support women's sports. The board also approved KU's TITLE IX eligibility, Mark McClanahan, former CSH chairman, said.
TITLE IX IS a federal program support equal opportunities for all citizens in federally funded institutions. As such an opportunity exists, the state may offer opportunities or risk losing its funding.
"We think this would be a great way to fund Tale IX athletics," McClanahan said. "The University of Colorado has been the only university stadium and their actual credit was $21,000."
McClanahan said he wanted Senate's endorsement "just so we can say to the administration, hey, the students are behind us."

Worry, listlessness fuel scholastic burnout

He was a victim of what pop-psychologists call "academic burnout." Why?
Almost three years into his college education, he still wasn't sure why he was there. His early enthusiasm for college life and his need for academic coursefies didn't care about grades.
"There are as many reasons as there are people," Richard Rundquist, director of KU's University Counseling Center, said.
"Here you are, 21, haven't been out in the world working, and you say, 'Gee, there's
something out there too, unrelated to courses. I might go to out there.'
"Four years, for a young person, seems like a long time. Sustaining that initial charge is not an easy thing to do."
RUNQUIST, WHO OBJECTS to the term "burnout," said some of the reasons students become dischanted with college courses. The environment a college or university provides.
I observe young people coming to college
who have been active all their lives through
school and high school. They come when they come to college. They have no release for that energy. It tends to
pile up and the resulting anxiety takes a variety of forms."
Some factors affecting freesian and sophomores, he said, were that for many it was more of a family, and that the composition of their new peer groups were different from that of his old class.
"THEY'RE COMPETING WITH A different group of people, he said. 'Maybe they're used to being on top of the heap. Now they are competing with other people who work on a different level. You have to do on a different level. It makes you wonder if you're all of a sudden making 'C', when all
He sard students who concentrated on their studies to the exclusion of friends or mobiles also ran the risk of burning themselves out.
your life you've been an 'A' student. I think that does shake some students badly."
"If they do it to the exclusion of other things they form an imbalance in the things they do. They need an outlet to provide other ideas and recreation."
The biggest reason students become apathetic, he said, is that they do not know what they want and therefore have no goal to work toward.

Probe's findings clear Crawford
By BILL MENEZES
Staff Reporter
An American Anthropological Association investigation into alleged improper research betrays by KU anthropology professor Edward Cawford has turned up no actions for ground action.
"The ad hoc committee concluded that there were no grounds for action under the principles of professional responsibility." Edward Leahman, association executive
But doubt as to the validity of the final decision, as in Murray and Nancy Sempelo, two former Crawford graduate assistants who claimed that he used improper methods in dealing with students.
Murray and Sempolki said yesterday that comments by the head of the investigating committee, Murray Wax, placed doubts that the final report was
DURING ONE HEARING, Wax said that because Crawford's case was the first to occur in a courtroom such an advanced stage, the association was not sure how to handle sanctions against the judge.
"The AAA isn't really set up to figure out what is going on, but I think the situation is such that we come through with a memorandum that everybody involved is innocent it'll be perfect."
Wax's comment replayed from a tape recorded during the hearing, drew laughter from several persons in the hearing.
"We won't know what to do with it," he said.
Eugene Giles, professor of physical anthropology who was also present, replied that this was "very distressing."
IN A TAPE of a later hearing, Wax expressed similar comments.
"The AAA executive board doesn't know what it's going to do," he said. "The reason they don't know what it's going to do is there are other rules within the AAA. It never had a case."
'If we find everybody is innocent, I think the AAA executive board will cheer because then they won't have to do anything.
"If we say such and such is reprehensible and probably should be sanctioned, then they'll groom because they'd have to figure out what they should do."

Arab militants take over Iran's embassy in London
LONDON (AP)—Three "Arab power" militants took over the Iranian Embassy on a quiet London back street yesterday and threatened to kill their 20 hostages unless Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's regime allowed them to be held in Iran an Arab-occupied oil belt.
If the Tehran government does not meet their demand by noon today, the gunmen said, they will blow up the building.
The three terrorists, reportedly armed with submachine guns or carbines, identified themselves as Arabs from Kuwaitan cities and economic for that region of southwest Iran.
The British Broadcasting Corp., which received the ultimatum in a telephone call, said it was not prepared to report that one of their hostages had been wounded and they requested a doctor. The telegrams were sent.
WITNESSES SAID they heard gunfire as the terrorists forced their way into the building at 5:30 a.m. CDT.
The only other casual report was a woman capable suffering from what police said was severe shock. She was released, carried out on a stretcher and rushed off by
Iran's 35 American hostages spent their 179th day in captivity, some of them reportedly now scattered to five Iranian cities besides Tehran.
Ayatollah Beheshti, who is justice minister and first secretary of the ruling Revolutionary Council, heads the Islamic Republican Party, which is trying to unseat President Saadie Sharif in order to solidify the dominance of the Moslem clergy in Iran.
Bebesh has put the bodies of eight U.S. commanders at the center of a new political war-of-war in Iran, saying Ayatollah Rohani Khoubnih or the Revolutionary Council, not President Abbasian Bani Khoubni, remains should be sent home.
AFTER THE AMERICANS' bodies were recovered over the weekend, Behriesh said the Council would decide their disposition. His party's newspaper called for a barter—the bodies in exchange for the release of his wife, Maria Makhnoff, frozen by President Carter last November.
But Bani-Sadre later said the bodies would be handed over to the intermediaries without precondition. Behesht later said that Iran did not want money for the bodies. But he said the repatriation of the remains was a priority for Khomeini or the Revolutionary Council."
As Beheshti set out these conditions, two Catholic clergymen were visiting the Tehran morgue where the bodies were being Kent.
The two Greek Catholic Archbishop Hilarion Capidan and papal monk Moncourt sprinkled holy water over the bodies, remains of eight servicemen killed in an aircraft collision when the attempt to rescue them was abruptly lost Friday in the Iranian desert.
Capudji, with the Swiss government and the International Red Cross, has taken on the responsibility for transferring the bodies out of Iran.
Bebeshi did not elaborate on the plans for the bodies, but he left the clear impression that the transfer might be held up.
Distributor pushes 'speed'
By DAVID EDDS
Staff Writer
GLADSTONE, Mo — To buy "legal speed" all you have to do is visit a Gladstone shopping center.
K. C. Distributors will sell you 100 of what call "white crush" tablets for $30. If you want to save, try "red crush" or "roum's egg" are available. These are slang terms for drugs in lawfully sold by the drug store.
And when you walk out with your purchase, you could be arrested. Police say the drugs could be mistaken for drugs that are illogical without a prescription.
THAT IS BECAUSE they are not amoetamines, but are legal substances including one drug used as a decongestant and anorectite sorbonne.
K. C. Bistrup promotes the drugs as "legal speed" and "mental alert pills." A saleman said that they take the place of an anesthetics to keep illicit antiemetics of the street.
Gilad, Bil Adamo, a detective for the Gladstone Department of Public Safety, said "white cross" "black beauty," all street signs and "wouldn't be able" "were all stencils for illicit drugs."
But if you take the pills, you will find they don't scratch the punch of other "speed."
The firm sells the drugs in bottles, which have had the labels scraped off, and, in at least one case, has sold them without written dosage instructions.
Adamo dismissed the importance of the sales taking place only a few blocks from his office, saying that if K.C. Distributors' salesmen "had anything worth a damn (to them)"
drug abusers), you can bet he wouldn't be selling it across the counter. That's just common sense."
WHEN SHOWN THE pills sold by K.C.
Distributors, Adamo said he probably would
arrest a person individuating them.
"Most officers would arrest if they saw something like that," Adamo said, referring to the pills.
SCHROEDER SAID THE drugs were not harmful in small doses, but added, "If somebody took a whole bottle, they could be in trouble."
Sidney Schroeder, a psychiatrist at Watkins Memorial Hospital, described phenproganolamine and ephedrine as "mildly stimulating."
"Phenylpropanamide is a little bit chemically related to amphiphetimes but doesn't have the marked stimulating effect of amphiphetmes. Schreder said. Ephedrine is a very mild stimulant, which is used with phenylpropanamide in cold medications."
According to an analysis of samples obtained from K.C. Distributors, the pills contained legal drugs. The analysis, performed by Ken Leru, a Quirk, III, pharmacist, showed that the pills contained phenylpropanamine and caffeine.
Of course no charges would be pressed upon completion of analysis, for it would show the drugs contain no controlled substances, he said.
While phenylpropanolamine and ephedrine are effective decontagents, Schroeder said he doubted the stimulant value of the drugs.
"Ephyrine and phenylpropanolamine are probably not very effective as appetite stimulants, but stimulants would vary with different people. The power of suggestion might be more powerful than the pharmacological effects, who would probably do as much good," he said.
"These pills are manufactured by a pharmaceutical company. They're a noncontrolled substance — but they do坏 they're completely legal. We don't ask ullk
BOBBY LADEN, OPERATOR of K.C. Distributors, describes the pills he sells as "mental alertness nails" or "lethal speed."
"It's nothing illegal. People who want that sort of thing must figure it a good way to get it," Adam said of K.C. Distributors sales.
Adamo agreed that the pills were legal. He said his department had no plans to investigate K.C. Distributors.
Tom Ashby, a representative of the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, State of Missouri, agreed that selling heroin or opioid agonamine and caffeine was not illegal.
ASBYB SAID SUCH drugs were often sold to people who thought they were buying illicit drugs.
"This stuff does get bought by the agencies, occasionally, on the street," Ashley said. "A lot of people get taken in by 'his.'"
Adamo said no Gladstone investigator had any praise for K.C. Distributors operation,
