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 week, and will take place 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 $4,290 to boxes for distribution of student public
The money would be used to build eight
boxes, at a cost of $335 each. The cost was determined by facilities operations, the department in charge of building the boxes, and the personnel document 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 Kansas boxes on campus.
Publications would be able to use to boxes on a first-come, first-served basis. Employees of the student organizations and activities center would schedule use of the boxes
The boxes cannot 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 $10,900 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 lower. The result of more attacks or higher costs for lights
"I don't think we can put a price tag on this," she said.
"IF ITS GOING to prevent one attack, one rape, one harassment, 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.
"No proposal to decide where to put lights is going to stop even one rape," said Doug Stallings, graduate senator.
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 installation if the University gave $50,000 and the university budget for preparation of the lighting proposal.
Ruth Lightward, 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 non-receiving families.
- 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. and for the contra rebels seeking to oust the Sandstorms, announced the trade embargo shortly after he in Bonn for the seventh-nation economic fund 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 Libya is concerned, as Iran, Vietnam and Libya.
THE EMBARGO, EFFECTIVE May 7,
was imposed by executive order and does not
remain in effect.
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.
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 direct the 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.

Crime,bugs plague life in Towers

Old photographs capture the smiles and hopes of the architects during the construction of their dream. But the dream never came true.
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.
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.

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 Vietnam memorial committee said yesterday.
Berger said his committee would respond to the report. He said he didn't think it would be appropriate to discuss either report or testimony, but he did not yet received his committee's response.
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 construction were completed by Tom Berver, memorial committee chairman.

women in the world

Kelly Le Brook has the kind of face most people than forget. They may not have always known her name however. Le Brook was until recently one of the celebrities of super successful fashion models—highly visible yet essentially anonymous. That changed last week when Le Brook gave up her initiative to cover girl career to appear in Gene Wilder's hit comedy, *The Woman in Red*. Suddenly Le Brook was not just another pretty face. She was an actress—and according to most film critics, a claim good one. With one bit, film under her high fashion belt, the 24-year old Le Brook is anxiously awaiting the release of what she believes will be another World News, which appears this fall.
The script for *Wendy Science*, which was written and directed by John Hughes, called for an actress to play Lisa the most beautiful young woman in the world. And Hughes one of the most successful of a new breed of Hollywood talent the writer Ms. Kim and National Composer Wavett wrote and directed *Saturn Girlhood* and *The Rescual Club*. She knew a good thing when she saw.
