the elections, we have to get the Elections Committee to work on it right away."
SCHINACKE said that because campaigning for November elections probably would begin in September, potential candidates and the Elections Committee would have to be prepared for the change before the fall semester began. To do this, the bill must be considered. Next is this semester the next West Semester testing is the last one of the semester, he said.
But Gordon said that the Senate should follow the rules as stated in the Code and
moved to table the bill. After the motion passed, Schnacke said that in the days before next week's Senate meeting, he planned to change the bill's wording would be written
IN OTHER BUSINESS, the Senate passed a bill that will establish optional student loans for students enrolled in school and a resolution supporting a KU Student Legal Services funding increase from the $20 million in loans.
In passing the health insurance bill, the Senate designated the Lone Star Life Insurance Company to be contracted for
optional heath insurance. This is a change from past years, when Senate has contracted the Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance company.
Latin American revolt discussed
John Brown, Student Health Advisory Board chairman, recommended contracting the Lone Star company because it underbid Blue Cross Blue Shield.
The Legal Services resolution, which asked Senate to declare its intent to give an additional $2.887 to Legal Services next week, will be presented to Loren Leibel, Legal Board chairman.
Social and political conditions in Central America are making revolutions inevitable in countries there, according to a panel of the Kansas University discussion last night at the Kansas Union.
One of the most pressing problems facing Latin American countries today is land reform. According to Robert Hinshao, visiting professor of anthropology, there has been a rapid increase in the labor of the poorest section of the population' in the last two centuries.
"ALL CENTRAL AMERICA is plagued by higher (population) growth than the land can support." Hinsch said.
The saturation point has been reached, the saturation of the population doubling in the next two weeks if see any solution. The population will have to be reduced, whether through famine or
Citing the recent revolution in Nicaragua, Hinshaw said, "Honduras and El Salvador are likely to be the next dominates in the

about the lack of a comprehensive bus system.
"So everybody just ignores it."
Another panel speaker, Lenny Zeskind of the Solopuer Truth Organization, also predicted a round of revolts in the region soon.
"WE HAVE A parking problem on campus because we don't have a bus, but nobody wants to get organized." Fay said. "All of paperwork and nobody wants to do it."
The residence hall bus system is paid for the out residence hall fees, costing $7.50 a student each semester. The bus, which serves students in the building, out the onkirts of campus, is free.
The University is serviced by the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority, a conglomeration of five city and university sources.
The University of Massachusetts, Amberst, not a KU peer institution, had a seemingly boundless sunplex of bus money.
"IT IS MONOLITHIC, but federal money
shoulders most of the costs, according to Tom Mullin, PTA driver.
UMTA is paying a hefty two-thirds of PVTA operating costs and equipment costs, Mulin said.
"A lot of blood is going to be spilled before the dust settles in Central America," Zeskind said.
"There is quite a lot of money out there," she says. "You can pay some money. It is understood that you are trying to deliver a public service and you're private. It is almost unreasonable because the government wants you to pay."
He said students contribute $10 a semester in student fees. State money pays for 10 percent of the total PTVA costs.
"Our main problem is to keep the bus free," Mulin said. "It is getting hard to offer free bus service because costs are owing so much.
"People around here are used to riding the bus free."
Zeskind said he looked at this series of revolutions as "the salvation of these countries."
"Malnutrition is so rampant and brain damage among children is so high that revolution is the only way for these people to survive," he said.
ZESKIND SAID these conditions had come about because of U.S. imperialism.
"The United States has treated Latin America . . . as territories . . . as economic relegits to exploit." "Zeskind said."
He called recent revolts the "inevitable result of imperialist penetration."
Zeskind said military intervention by the United States in El Salvador "looks quite likely" and accused the government and media of creating "war hysteria" to gain support for the creation of a U.S. intervention force to put down popular revolts.
"Regimes have to rule through monopoly of violence . . . they are pretty naked about their repression." Zeskind said, "but the monopoly of violence has to break that monopoly of violence."
