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 will support the college 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 buy 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, the department authorized to do such work on campus.
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.
The proposal must be completed by Sept. 15 or the $10,000 will be returned to the Senate unallocated account.
Karen Greschel, Nunemaker senator, told senators that they needed to allocate the money before the price of improved lighting was released. The result of more attacks or higher costs for light
"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 50,000 of your money's worth," he said.
But some senators said they didn't think the proposal would prevent rapes.
"No proposal to decide where to put lights is going to stop even one rape," said Doug Stallings, graduate senator.
Stallings he thought that campus lighting was a problem and that the Senate should do something about it. But he said he would to 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 lights, offer to match the money with the Board of Regents for new lights or put it into rape and crime education and prevention programs.
In other action, the Senate voted to allocate the following supplemental funds for nonrevenue code student groups:
- Society of Women Engineers — $440.
- *The Mid-America Journal of Politics — $690
- KU India Club - $554.
- Amnesty International — $290.
- KU International Folk Dance Club — $220.
Reagan bans trade, hints of sanctions
- Counseling Student Organization — $200 to print the Journal of Contemporary Counseling.

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 arriving in Bonn for the seventen nation to summit of the main industrial democracies
The total ban on trade, on Nicaragua airline flights and ships arriving in U.S. ports puts Nicaragua in the same category, as far as Nicaragua is concerned; as Iran, Vietnam and Libya.
Last year, Nicaragua sold $57 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.
THE EMBARGO, EFFECTIVE May 7,
was imposed by executive order and does not
remain effective.
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 policy of the United States and (1) hereby set 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 Contras.

W ANTHONY PARKINS reposes his role as Norman Rates, the haughty vet murderer psychotic of *Psycho* (1960) and *Psycho II* (1965)? A new installment based on the Alfred Hitchcock classic is reportedly in the works. To be called *Psycho III* (as soon surprised), the latest episode — sure to scare us with something equivalent to the stabbing in the shower sequence of the original — will start filming this summer.

ROBERT REDFORD
superstar ROBENY KOST
In what year? Answer given below.) It takes a mighty pull to yank Redford from Italy, home of his ski resort and his Liaison to help hedgehimmers. However, Redford recently left the snowy slopes of the Rockies in prime ski season for the green pangles of Africa. He's starring in the newest project by director SYDNEY POLLACK of Tohina fame. Look for cover of Out of Africa, based on the life and works of ISAK DINESEN, in the next issue of The Movie Magazine. Dinesen is actually the nominee of Karen Bilsen, an independent woman who lived through the colonial era in Kenya. The screen play is by Kurt Lueckke. MERYL STREEP plays the heroine.
L look for lanky TOM HANKS — he fell in love with a mermaid in Sphinx — in a different environment this fall. Hanks will star in actor director RICHARD 'M. My favorite Year, Running with the Moon' (BENJAMIN'S newest film, The Money Pit). It is a Steven Spielberg presentation, script by David Coler

Expect good sports in the next issue of The Music Magazine. The unpredictable MICHAEL KEATON of Night Shift and Ms. Music fame, comes on strong as a pro hockey player in Teen & Girl, while former pro baseballer KURT RUSSELL and all world good ROBIN WILLIAMS team up on the story of a hard-hack college football team in The Best of Times.
The last REDFORD film: As director he, he inspired an Oscar for *Ornithan People* in 1979. As an actor, Redford's last outing was as the star crossed slugger in *The Natural*, a 1985 baseball epic.

and needs to fly back home - reveals Spielberg's continuing ability to dream childlike dreams and set them onto the screen. Its working title was A Boy's Life, and the movie touches squarely on suburban origins and otherworldly imagings, which are also the stuff of Spielberg's life as a boy. It fortunately for filmmakers, Spielberg the adult has stayed connected to his childlike, intense imagination, marrying it to a hunger-assembled mastery of filmmaking craft. In the making of L.T., Spielberg was especially pleased about working with a group of spontaneous, unimagined child actors. The praise he extended to L.T.5 young performers can be applied with equal truth to Spielberg himself. If you give them their freedom, he said shortly before the films release. If you allow the kids to come up with their own inventions of how to do things its post-metrical magic they bring to the movies.
