Senate allots $10,000 for lighting study, plan
By JULIE MANGAN Staff Reporter
A proposal to pay experts $10,000 to study campus lightning this summer and report their findings this fall was approved last month. An estimate 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 or 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 $4,200 to build boxes for distribution of student supplies.
The money would be used to build eight
boxes, at a cost of $5.35 each. The cost was determined by facilities operations, the department in charge of building the boxes, and the permanent authorized to do such work on carcars.
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 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 became a reality, or more attacks or higher costs for light guards.
"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."
"IF IT'S 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.
Reza Zoughi, Student Senate Executive Committee chairman, agreed.
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 should 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 Lightwardt, 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 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 US trade with Nicaragua with hunts 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 rebel rebels seeking to oust the Sandinistas, announced the trade embargo shortly after the Bann for the seventeen economic summit of the main industrial democracies.
The total ban on trade in Nicaraguan airline flights and ships arriving in U.S. ports puts Nicaragua in the same category, as far as cargo 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 EMBRORO EFFECTIVE May 7
was imposed by executive order and does not
receive judicial review.
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 establish 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 Contra.

Fatherhood and Films
his is the best of times and the worst of times for Chevy Chase, one of the few comedy performers who is also a major film star of the best times because at the age of 44 the writer comedian, who always wanted children, has just become a father for the second time in two years — the worst of times because Chase can only spend a few weeks with his new daughter, his 2 year-old Cyd, and his wife Javin in their Hollywood home. He is getting off to star in his third film in 18 months, the second one with extended shooting in Europe.
Chase has had varied links in his film career. The original *Night Live* TV show, for which he was hired as a writer and gradually allowed to perform his own material, made him a star. He then went straight into the he comedy thriller *Play with Goldie Hawn*. To the writer and physical connection, famous for his elaborate prattings, Holly wood added the patting of a romantic leading man But Chase's subsequent projects were widely mossissent, as he engages admins.
The films I've done that didn't work tailed because they really weren't very good I didn't like under the Rainbow on the *Howard's Dog*; so I don't see why anyone else should "Deal of the Century" an ambitions black comedy about the arts race, which Chase described as his "first real action role" and for which he had high hopes, also fizzled at the box office. On the other hand, National Lampoons' location turned out well enough to make $100 million.

The first of his three new films is Flahc, based on the popular series of mystery novels by Gregory Mendelbaum.
Fleisch, based on the popular series of novels, mysteries by Gregory Medionald, scheduled to open this June, is a return to the Chewy Chase of the funny wigs, disguises and rancous physical comedy.
