Senate allots $10,000 for lighting study, plan
By JULIE MANGAN Staff Reporter
A proposal to pay experts $10,000 to study campas 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 books.
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 investment 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 followup 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, Nurenamek senator, told senators that they needed to allocate the money before the price of improved lighting is lowered. A number of more attacks or higher costs for light安装
"I don't think we can put a price tag on this," she said.
"Fols, 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.
campus, whether you know it or not.

But some senators said they didn't think the proposal would prevent rape.
"I proposed 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 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.
LICHTWARDF 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
- Amnesty International — $290
Reagan bans trade, hints of sanctions
- KU International Folk Dance Club $220
- 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.
Roagan, frustrated by Congress in his efforts to win more U.S. and for the contra rebels seeking to oust the Sandstorms, annulled the trade embargo shortly after Ham (or the seventime 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 apart is concern is, 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.
In the order, Reagan said, "The powers 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 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 Contras.

Old photographs capture the smiles and hopes of the architects during the construction of their dream. But the dream never came true.
The protesters, who have demonstrated since 9 a.m. Monday, are doing more than sitting. Three protesters met yesterday with Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, and David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, to discuss the University's position on divestiture.

Students, faculty and others protesting the Kansas University Endowment Association's ties to South Africa said yesterday that they would continue their sit-in in the Strong Hall lobby at least until tomorrow
The multi-million dollar apartment complex has been plagued with problems, ranging from roaches to arson, since its completion in the late 1960s.
In a statement last week to the Universi Senate, Chancellor Gene A. Budig said didn't think divestiture would change apaib in South Africa.
A 1960 advertisement touted the new Jayhawker Towers apartments as the ultimate in campus living.
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 KU Vietnam memorial committee said yesterday.
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.
AMBLEM SAID, "I don't think either sici persuaded the other differently. Essentially they still would like to see some favorabie action on the resolution by the Student Senate and the resolution by the University Council."

Berger said his committee would respond to the report. He said he didn't think it would be appropriate to discuss either report or the response. He did not yet received his committee's response
"We're not dealing with irreconcilable differences," he said. "The University committed to building a Vietnam memorial."
Cobb said he would try to arrange meeting with committee members at officials from the office of facilities plann to work out the differences.
Berger said the memorial commit intended to stand by its original goal insuring that the memorial be created students in honor of students.
rejected the original design submitted to John Onken, St Louis senior, winner of the student design contest. Onken revised its design and resubmitted the plan to the memorial committee in the fall. The committee approved the revision and selections of spaces commemorating which sent the report to Cobbs saying more changes were needed
BERGER SAID ONE of the problem mentioned in the report was that it proposed memorial was too large

If this is what a beginner can do with the Nikon FG imagine what you could do with a little practice.
Recently, we recruited a group of people who were novices at 35mm SLR photography, handed them Nikon EF4 and set them loose in California.
Their results didn't surprise us in the last.
Because we designed the FG tobe ossimple that a beginner could take great pictures with from outside.
You see the EG is encased that gives you so or as little automation as you want.
You've engineered so many sough-treated systems into the FG that its perfect for a serious photographer, too.
In the programmed mode, just focus and shoot. Automatically, you can control depth of field by choosing an aperture while the camera selects the appropriate shutter speed. And in manual, you can set both for complete creative control
What's more, with the EG extra-diary through the lens flash-meter system and the optional SBEs Speedlight, even the most complex flesh pictures become simplify itself.
Sorry out an FGat your Nikon dealer
Because no matter how tired you think these pictures are, there's nowhere to go from here up.
