By JULIE MANGAN Staff Reporter
A proposal to pay experts $10,000 to study campus lighting this summer and report their findings this fall was approved last night by the Student Senate during its final meeting of the semester.
The Senate voted 31-5 with three abstentions to grant the money from the Senate unallocated account to finance a project that would locate problem lighting areas on campus and propose lighting improvements.
boxes, at a cost of $335 each. The cost was determined by facilities operations, the department in charge of building the boxes, and the management institution authorized to do such work on campas.
Another $10,000 in Senate money would used to install the lights if the Univ agreed to donate at least $50,000 for installation.
THE BOXES WILL be used to distribute publications from registered student groups, including In the Streets, Graduate Student Newspaper and Praxis, whose members first brought the idea to the attention of the Senate.
Publications would be able to use to boxes on a first-come, first-served basis. Employ-

will be prepared this summer by an illumination engineer and one assistant. It is a follow-up to a study of night crime on campus, which was done by Ronald Helms, director of architectural engineering, and completed in March.
WILLIAM EASLEY, STUDENT body president, said the completed proposal would be used to lobby the Kansas Legislature for additional money to improve campus lighting. The Associated Students of Kansas would be asked to help lobby.
The proposal must be completed by Sept.

"Folks, rape's alive and well on this campus, whether you know it or not."
Reza Zoughi, Student Senate Executive Committee chairman, agreed.
"IF IT'S GOING to prevent one attack, one rape, one barrassment, you got more than $1 billion."
But some senators said they didn't think the proposal would prevent rapes.
Stallings said he thought that campus lighting was a problem and the lighting
Ruth Lichtwardt, co-chairman of the Senate Minority Affairs Committee, also suggested alternate proposals.
LICHTWARD SAID THE Senate could donate the $10,000 to new lights, offer to hire the money he the Board of Regents for new lights but put them on crime education and prevention programs.
In other action, the Senate voted to allocate the following supplemental funds for non-revenue code student groups:
- Society of Women Engineers — $440.
The Senate also voted to allocate $4,2 build boxes for distribution of stu publications.

THE EMBARGO, EFFECTIVE May was imposed by executive order and does require congressional approval.

Plans for Vietnam memorial rejected again
University Council's resolution at 1 p.m. today in the lobby of Strong. The talk is part of a teach-in organized by the protesters.
BANKS, WHO HAS visited the protesters daily, said, "I admire them. I admire somebody who is willing to stand for what he believes in. I find that students and faculty are generally apathetic and afraid."

Construction of a campus Vietnam memorial, which has been in the planning stage for more than 18 months, will be further delayed because a committee has again rejected the proposed design and site, the chairman of the KU Vietnam memorial commitee said yesterday.
Staff Reporter
The faculty Committee on Art in Public Spaces studied plans for the proposed memorial and earlier this week submitted a report to Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor. The report said the design and layout of the exhibit would Tom Bemer, memorial committee chairman.
Berger said his committee would respond to the report. He said he didn't think it would be appropriate to discuss either report or agreement, and did not get received his committee's response.
Last spring, the public spaces committee
rejected the original design submitted by John Onken, St. Louis senior, winner of the student design contest. Onken revised the design and resubmitted the plan to the memorial committee in the fall. The plan received no revision and sent the plan on to the public space committee, which sent the report to Cobb saying more changes were needed.
"We're not dealing with irreconcilable differences," he said. "The University is committed to building a Vietnam memorial."
Berger said the memorial committee intended to stand by its original goal of insuring that the memorial be created by students in honor of students.
Cobb said he would try to arrange a meeting with committee members and officials from the office of facilities planning to work out the differences.
Bberger said, "in terms of planning, the goal of the memorial seems to have fallen by the wayside. The memorial was perceived by students and faculty that it be financed and designed by KU students."
Marvin Grove, the wooded area southwest of the Spencer Art Museum, is the proposed site for the memorial. The original had been Chandler Court in the Burge Union. That site was rejected because the memorial would have faced the Party Room, and some committee members thought this made the court an inappropriate site.
by the public spaces committee recommended that another committee be formed to determine the most appropriate site on campus for the memorial.
BERGER SAID THAT in October, he had met with public spaces committee members and Onken to discuss moving the memorial to Marvin Grove. He said everyone had agreed that the grove would be an appropriate place for the Vietnam memorial because it would be near Memorial Stadium, dedicated to students and alumni who died in World War I, and the Campanile, dedicated to those who died in World War II.
But Berger said the new report submitted
"My design was just too much — not as subtle as they wanted. The committee is looking for something more traditional.
"I RESPECT THEIR decision, I see how they feel. I'm just sadder and wiser now." he said.
rans for the Vietnam memorial began in fall 1983. During that semester, student leaders formed the memorial committee, received money for construction from the Student Senate and conducted a student design contest.
Onken said he didn't think he would be designing the new memorial.
The memorial would list the names of the more than 60 KU students killed in the war or listed as missing in action. Berger said the memorial would be sponsored Vietnam memorial in the court*

Crime,bugs plague life in Towers
By MICHELLE WORRALL Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
A 1966 advertisement touted the new Jayhawker Towers apartments as the ultimate in campus living.
The multi-million dollar apartment complex has been plagued with problems, ranging from roaches to arson, since its completion in the late 1960s.
Old photographs capture the smiles and hopes of the architects during the construction of their dream. But the dream never came true.
The four-tower complex and its adjacent property are among the highest crime areas on campus, according to KU police records. John Brothers, sergeant of community services, says half of the crimes at the Towers occur in the parking lots.
THE MAJORITY OF THE reported crimes in burglary, theft, and criminal damage to property.
Colored push pins, representing reported campus crimes, bury the complex on the crime map in KU police headquarters at Carruth-O'Leary Hall. Fifty-four colored tacks, representing theft, burglary, noise disturbance, damage to private property and miscellaneous crimes against persons mark the Towers and the surrounding area.
But Scott Joslove, assistant manager of the Powers, says the crime rate is not that high. "I call them (KU police) several times a week, not for actual problems, but for potential problems," he says.
I loveave says he calls police when he whenever he noise, such as a loung bang or glass breaking
J. J. Wilson, director of housing, says many f the crimes in the Towers can be prevented y properly using the door locks, which often use of a regular lock and dead bolt. They
"They're only good if people use them," he says.
Wilson says he is not aware that the Towers have more crime problems than residence
Originally, the Towers were privately owned apartments operated and built by a Bartlesville, Okla., investment company and executives from Phillips Petroleum Co.
Sgt. David Cobb of the Lawrence police tays many of the Towers' problems stem om a high concentration of people living in relatively small area. The Towers have an capancy capacity of 900-1,200 persons. THE SAYS THE central location of the Twers makes the apartments an easy target
Complaints began before the entire complex was built.
Students who moved into Towers A and B, the first two buildings completed, said they could hear the people next door brushing their teeth. They complained about the delay of phone installations, washers and dryers, lack of lighting and faulty air conditioning.
In the 1970s, the complex was rocked with asson, thefts and vandalism to cars and public buildings.
In 1980, the Kansas University Endowment Association bought the apartments for an undisclosed sum to provide more housing for students.
"WE KNEW IT was a problem, and it
was a good record. I also says "
We knew it was a good record.
When the apartments switched ownership, the Lawrence police gratefully passed the crime report.
Cobb says, "We could have kissed them. Every time there was a call, it seemed like we were going over to the Towers. I don't see how anything could be any better now."
The University has not been able to solve all of the problems with the Towers.
In a 1881 Kansan story, students complained about feces in the elevators, cockroaches in the buildings, no hot water in the maintenance and a lack of parking for cars
That same year, a grocery cart full of
