Senate allots $10,000 for lighting study,plan
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.
Another $10,000 in Senate money would be used to install the lights if the University agreed to donate at least $50,000 for light installation.
The Senate also voted to allocate $4,280 to build boxes for distribution of student publications.
The money would be used to build eight
boxes, at a cost of $355 each. The cost was determined by facilities operations, the department in charge of building the boxes, and the development document authorized to do such work on campas.
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.
The boxes would be built next to eight of the 14 Kansan boxes on campus.
Publications would be able to use boxes on a first-come, first-served basis. Employees of the student organizations and activities center would schedule use of the boxes.
The boxes could not be used by any group or individual to promote a political candidate, party or coalition in campus, local, state or national elections.
The proposal to improve campus lighting
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.
Karen Greschel, Nunemaker senator, told senators that they needed to allocate the money before the price of improved lighting became more expensive and more attacks or higher costs for light installation.
The proposal must be completed by Sept. 15 or the $1,000 will be returned to the Senate unconditionally.
"I don't think we can put a price tag on this," she said.
"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 harrassment, you got more than $10,000 of your money's worth," he said.
But some senators said they didn't think the proposal would prevent rapes.
A proposal to decide where to put lights is given to stop even one rape, said Doug Stallings. It works.
Stallings said he thought that campus lighting was a problem and that the Senate should do something about it. But he said he would allocate money only to install new lights.
The Senate rejected Stallings' substitute motion that would have established $20,000 for light installation if the University gave $50,000, but would allocate no money for preparation of the lighting proposal.
Ruth Lichtwardt, co-chairman of the Senate Minority Affairs Committee, also suggested alternate proposals.
LICHTWARDT SAID THE Senate could donate the $10,000 to new tights, offer to match the money with the Board of Regents for special needs and 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 Mid-America Journal of Politics
$690
- KU India Club — $554.
- Amnesty International — $290.

BONN, West Germany — President Reagan declared a national emergency yesterday and banned U.S. trade with Nicaragua with hints that more sanctions may be added to the administration's campaign against the leftist Sandinista regime.
Reagan, frustrated by Congress in his efforts to win more u.S. aid for the contra rebels seeking to oust the Sandinistas, announced the trade embargo shortly after Bonn (for the seventen-national economic summit of the main industrial democracies
The total ban on trade, on Nicaraguan airline flights and ships arriving in U.S. ports puts Nicaragua in the same category, as far as trade is concerned, as Iran, Vietnam and Lebanon.
THE EMBARGO, EFFECTIVE May 7, was imposed by executive order and does not require congressional approval.
Last year, Nicaragua sold $67 million worth of bananas, beef, shellfish and coffee to the United States and bought $111 million in U.S. goods, mainly agricultural chemicals, fats and oils, and some machinery, including tractors.
In the order, Reagan said, "The policies and actions of the government of Nicaragua constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign claims of the United States and (1) hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat."
The action, White House aides said, was taken in response to the vote in the House last week to deny Reagan $14 million in aid for the Contraas.

Crime,bugs plague life in Towers
By MICHELLE WORRALL Staff Representative
Old photographs capture the smiles and hopes of the architects during the construction of their dream. But the dream never came true.
The multi-million dollar apartment complex has been plagued with problems, ranging from roaches to arson, since its completion in the late 1960s.
Staff Reporter
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.
A 1966 advertisement touted the new Jayhawkower Towers apartments as the ultimate in campus living.

In a statement last week to the University Senate, Chancellor Gene A. Burdig said didn't think divestiture would change afield in South Africa.
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 campus memorial committee said yesterday.
"We discussed divestiture and the way the world," Cobb said. "I don't know that came to any resolution, but it was a fruitful conversation."
AMBLER SAID, "I don't think other persuaded the other differently. Essential they still would like to see some favor action on the resolution by the Student Seed and the resolution by the University Council."
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 president of the memorial. The site proposal needed revision, said Tom Berrer, memorial committee chairman.
Last spring, the public spaces committee
Bberger said his committee would respond to the report. He said he didn't think it would be appropriate to discuss either report with the committee, and did not get received his committee's response.
rejected the original design submitter John Onken, St. Louis senior, winner of student design contest Onken revised design and resubmitted the plan to memorial committee in the fall committee approved the revision and the plan on to the public spaces committee and the plan on to Cobby saying *changes were needed.*
BERGER SAID ONE of the prob- mentioned in the report was that proposed memorial was too large.
"We're not dealing with irreconcilable differences," he said. "The University committed to building a Vietnam marital."
Cobb said he would try to arrang meeting with committee members officials from the office of facilities plan to work out the differences.
Berger said the memorial comm intended to stand by its original gos insuring that the memorial be create students in honor of students.
I didn't buy my car stereo backwards. Why should you?
My car stereo dealer told me if you want clean, clean, clear sound—choose your speakers first. Because the hardest handie it, you won't hear it. No matter what kind of sound your receiver pulls in.
Then he told me: Jensen.
If you want to hear it the way they played it, choose Jensen speakers first. Jensen invented car speakers in the first place. And they're a leader in making sure they know how to deliver the goods.
Naturally I got a Jensen receiver to go with my Jensen speakers. Great team, designed to play together Makes sense Makes good sound to hear All with Jensen, I do
JENSEN When you want it all.
