KU Med students to aid funding of new library
By BRIAN LEVINSON Staff Reporter
University of Kansas Medical students have accepted the fact that they will help pay for the construction of a new library, Terry Wall, president of the medical students assembly, said yesterday.
"The Legislature's decision is not a popular thing," Wall said. "But without the fee increase we won't get the library."
The Kansas Legislature required medical students to pay $1 million of the estimated $5 million cost of the new curriculum and increase in their student activity fee.
MEDICAL STUDENTS will be assessed $50 a semester and nursing students $10 a semester to cover the $1 million. Time-time medical graduate students will pay $40 a semester and graduate students $10 a semester.
The Endowment Association has only raised $65,500, John English, director, said.
The Legislature agreed in September to provide $4 million for the project and asked the Med Center branch of the Kansas University Endowment Association to raise $250,000 for any costs over the $5 million projection
"This is a slow time of the year for donations, because people have spent a lot of money over the holidays." English said. "We just recently wrote letters to alumni and faculty members to try to raise the additional funds."
"I think all users of the library should pav for it." Wall said.
WALL SAID he was pleased with the Endowment Association's latest effort to raise money for the library.
The construction project will continue on schedule, despite an almost $200,000 shortfall. Allen Weichter, director of Facilities Planning, said.
AFTER BIDS are taken, the state will sell $1 million in bonds for the project, which is the portion the students would pay for. Wewicht said.
Weichert said the architectural drawings for the library were almost complete. He said the University would probably accept bids next month.
"Construction should start within 60 days after the bids are taken," he said. "The library should be finished in about two years."
Keith Nitcher, University Director of Business Affairs, said earlier that

"The University made the calculation for setting the fees and the Board of Regents established them," he said. "This is a common practice, and they've been doing it since Satellite Union and Student Services were all funded this way."
Riling will run for commission seat
Wall said he hoped the fee increase would eventually be replaced by supplemental budget funding from the Legislature. The fee increase was expected to last for approximately 15 years, Wall said.
Jerry Rilking, 520 Pioneer St., has filed to run in the April 7 City Commission election.
Rilking, 26, said he was qualified for a commission position because he had attended City Commission meetings for years and knew the business of the years.
"A good city commissioner must have the patience to know what he or she wants and be willing to listen to the other view also." Riling said. "A commissioner has to realize that whatever stance he takes, there will be criticism."
Ruling, a janitor, said the main issue of the election would be the construction of a downtown mall, which he opposed.
"There is no way that a mail can feasibly be built in downtown Lawrence," Riling said. "It would destroy the great, lovely area that exists there. I am vehemently against it."
Candidates for the three at-large seats, which are presently held by Commissioners Barkley Clark and Bob Curran. Mr. Carter, must file before noon Feb. 3.
Poetry contest deadline set
About 100 KU students are expected to compete in a spring poetry contest sponsored by the English department, Donald Warders, chairman of the contests awards committee, said yesterday.
By CORAL BEAC Staff Reporter
The entry deadline for the William Herbert Carruth Memorial Poetry Contest is 5 p.m., March 23. Entries must be submitted to the English department office, 3114 Wescoe, Warders said.
All KU students are eligible to participate in the contest. Entries should be submitted under a pseudonym and accompanied by a sealed envelope with the student's name inside, he said.
Each student can enter up to three poems in the contest, which will include rhyming poetry as well as free verse.
Warders, an assistant professor of English, said that students should enter all of their poems together for their final exam. They were provided for their total poetic achievement.
"We want to award the poet rather than the poem he has written," Warders said.
The entries will be judged by a three-member panel. Although the judges had not been chosen yet, Warders said that the basic guidelines for their selection had been outlined.
"One of the judges will have a reputation as a poet and a scholar, and will probably be a well-known person of letters," he said.
The two remaining panel positions will include a KU alumus and a member of the English department.
Warders said the 84-year-old contest was one of KU's oldest and that it had always been very popular with KU students.
"Usually between 90 and 100 students submit entries," Warders said. "It's always heartening to see students in poetic activity in activities."
Warders said the contest was set up as a memorial to Carruth by a group of his friends in 1927. The Carruth Memorial Poetry Fund provides cash prizes for the annual competition.
The first place poet will receive $200. The second and third place winners will be awarded $150 and $100 respectively.
GLS to elect director
The Gay and Lesbian Services o. Kansas will elect a new director and treasurer Feb. 5, a spokesman for GLS said yesterday.
The present director for GLS, Jan Denfeld, and Treasurer Deb Porter will formally resign at that time.
"We voted to elect new officials for legal reasons," the spokesman said. "We needed officers who could run meetings and pay bills. Jan and Deb couldn't make it to the meetings enough to be effective.
"Both of them understood that we needed more active officers, and had agreed that the best thing to do would be to resign them. And there were no action involved."
GLS Director Jan Denfeld said she would continue to act as director until she handed in her reservation at the
next GLS meeting.
"I had hoped that the transition process would be slower, so that I could ease my successor into the job," Denfeld said. "When I became director, everything was just dumped on me. But he was still busy, and who could work on uncompleted II & IV events."
Denfield gained notoriety last year when she and roomate Deb Porter file for a marriage license in Douglas County.
Denfeld said she had resigned because she had accepted an out-of-state job offer.
"Deb and I heard from a friend on the National Gay Task Force that Lesbian marriages are legal in Colorado," Denfeld said. "We plan to check it out, and if it's true, we'll be married in Colorado."

Eleven groups request Student Senate funding
By KAREN SCHLUETER Staff Reporter
Eleven student organizations turned in funding requests totaling $411,191.38 for consideration at this week's Student Senate Revenue Code hearings.
The hearings are from 6:30 to 11 p.m.
tonight, tomorrow, and Tuesday in
the Walnut Room of the Kansas Union.
They are open to the public.
The Recreation Advisory Board submitted a budget but did not request an increase in its student activity fee allocation.
The groups that turned in requests for increases are: Student Legal Services, University Theatre, KU Bands, KU Forensics, University Concert Series, Chamber Music Series, Associated Students of Kansas, the School of Architecture and Urban Design and the University Daly Kansan.
The Consumer Affairs Association is applying for status as a Revenue Code-funded group. If it is classified under the code it will receive a set portion of
activity fee money without having to reapply each year.
An organization must serve a large part of the student body and incur the same expenses each year to be funded under the code.
Two-thirds of the Senate must approve the Consumer Airair's reclassification request for it to be included in the Senate's recomma- tion. The Senate's recommendations are presented to the KU Administration and the Board of Resents.
Four organizations currently funded under the code have not yet turned in budgets for consideration. They are Student Senate, Graduate Student Council, Student Bar Association and KJHK-FM Radio.
Loren Busy, chairman of the Senate's Finance and Auditing Committee, said he had contacted the groups, and that they had said they were in their requests before making their presentations to the committee.
Each group has half an hour to present its requests.
Fire burns foliage at Chancellor's home
Damage was estimated at approximately $300, Jim Mathes, assistant director of landscaping, said.
A fire yesterday afternoon along the southwest patio of the Chancellor's residence destroyed two dwarf mughos and damaged part of a quince hedge.
The fire was noticed about 2:25 p.m. by Mike Gordon, to classa senior, who was going to class, according to KU
Police. A cigarette is thought to be the cause of the fire.
Mathes the charred trees and hedge would be replaced this spring when the extent of the damage is determined.
"Some of the foliage may grow back, but it will be a couple of months before we can tell." he said.
The home is occupied by Acting Chancellor Del Shankel and his family.
