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. The conference will take 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 that would lead to lighting areas on campus and propose lighting initiatives.
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 $4,200 to student boxes for distribution of student public
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 management authorized to do such work on camps.
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 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 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 lower. The cost of more attacks or higher costs for light installation
"I don't think we can put a price tag on this," she said.
"Folks, rape's alive and well on this
moses, whether you know it or not."
"IF IT'S GOING to prevent one attack, one rape, one harrassment, you got more than $100,000 of your money's worth," he said.
Reza Zoughi, Student Senate Executive Committee chairman, agreed.
But some senators said they didn't think the proposal would prevent rapes.
he proposed to encircle where to put lights is going to stop even one rape, said Doug Stallings.
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 Lichtward, co-chairman of the Senate Minority Affairs Committee, also suggested alternate proposals.
LIGHTWARD SAID THE Senate could donate the $10,000 to new lights, offer to match the money with the Board of Regents and hire teachers 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.
Reagan bans trade, hints of sanctions

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 Sandimista regime.
Reagan, frustrated by Congress in his efforts to win more U.S. aid for the contra rebels seeking to oust the Sandstinas, announced the trade embargo shortly after he won in Bann for the seventy-even economic 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 economic status is concerned, as Iran, Vietnam and Libya.
Last year, Nicaragua sold $77 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 require congressional approval.
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.
In the order, Irogan 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."

"We discussed divestiture and the ways to the world," Cobb said. "I don't know that we came to any resolution, but it was a free fruitful conversation."
In a statement last week to the University Senate, Chancellor Gene A. Budig said he didn't think divestiture would change open in South Africa
AMBLER SAID, "I don't think either six persuaded the other differently. Essentially they still would like to see some favorable action on the resolution by the Student Council 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 chancellor. The report said the design and construction of the memorial had been Berner, memorial committee chair.

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 multi-million dollar apartment complex has been plagued with problems, ranging from roaches to arson, since its completion in the late 1960s.

comedy. "I think all those books are comedies in a sense — the James Bonds, the Travis McGee, the Elochies — they're all about the clever manner in which a larger than life character gets through situations others of us never could. And the characters have to use devices and scans to get by. What those books usually aren't, however, is very visual. So they have to be adapted to work on this screen."
In fact, this is Chase's second break with Fitch. Years ago, his manager recommended the books to him "that I wasn't interested in them then." This time around, the producer Alan Grevman, was an old friend and the screenwriter Andrew Bergman, a cowriter of *Rolling Noddle*. Chase agreed to go ahead filming with director Michael Richie, a critical favorite for his early films like *The Candidate* and *Smile*. Chase briefly had his doubts. "Michael films every angle he can, then with every lens on every angle, which can wear an actor out. But when I saw the finished film it was remarkable how Michael had evening out my performance. I realized that he shot just what he needed to make me look good."
The son of a publisher in the New York Times book division. Chase grew up in a cultured sophisticated household and started his performing career as a musician, playing drums and piano. College contacts caused him into cabaret, in a show that later became the *Grosse Tune*. He next toured with National Lampoons stage show *Lemmings*, for a year and a hall, where he met John Belushi. Then came *Naturday Night Live* and show business history. Never known for false modesty (there was much of the real Chase in his supervice NSI anchor).

After a loop lavished he got back to his desk last year (I had changed since I stopped, that's how long it was) but he says Hollywood demand for his performing abilities restricts his output. The hard thing for me is the making of these pictures, the actual timing. As a result I am limiting my writing to fixing scripts, rewriting as we film, of which I do a fair amount. Still, during lonely nights in Europe, he found himself "teaching a lot of novels and thinking
"What I always wanted was something that felt very natural to me."
nobody parties because I play music at home. I don't know what I did. I felt sort of hang out and party or something — and you don't do that when you're married and have children. I really wasn't focused on my life for a long time. It wasnt a question of my life is my art, or my comedy, because I already made it. That's fine, you know. I made it great! but then you think. What more do I want? What I always wanted was something that felt very natural to me.
Now that he's got it, Chase's main problem is finding time to enjoy it. From Klebhe he went straight to Europe to film National Lampoon's European Vacation. Now he's packing for Europe to continue with Dan Aikrood for director John Landis in Spare Use I. Damn's usually good and I've never seen Danny yet per son to his abilities any of his films. It seems he's taken to playing the straight man, he's deliberately relegated himself to that. But he can do more, he can stand on top of something. Here I think I'll probably bring out the best in him — I know I can — and I think hell do the same for me!
