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 provide lighting areas on campus and propose lifelong learning.
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 $2,200 to buy boxes for distribution of student public facilities.
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 management 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 Sepu.
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 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 campus, whether you know it or not."
Do Kow il or not
Reza Zough. Chair Executive Committee chairman, agreed.
But some senators said they didn't think the proposal would prevent rapes.
"IF IT'S GOING to prevent one attack, one rape, one harrassment, you got more than $10,000 of your money's worth," he said.
"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 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 the school the Board of Regents for new lights and put it into crime education and prevention programs.
In other action, the Senate voted to allocate the following supplemental funds for non-revenue purposes.
- Society of Women Engineers — $440
- The Mid-America Journal of Politics — $600
- KU India Club - $554.
- 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 hiatus that more sanctions may be added to the administration's campaign against the leftist Sandinista regime.
By United Press International
Reagan, frustrated by Congress in his efforts to win more U.S. aid for the contra rebels seeking to oust the Sandinists, announced the trade embargo shortly after he in Bonn for the seventen-nation summit of the main industrial democracies
The total loan on trade, on Nicaraguan airline flights and ships arriving in U.S. ports puts Nicaragua in the same category, as far as cargo is concerned, as in Vietnam and Libya.
THE EMBARGO, EFFECTIVE May 7,
was imposed by executive order and does not
require congressional approval.
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 in the United States and (1) hereby prepare 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.

The multi-million dollar apartment complex has been plagued with problems, ranging from roaches to arson, since its completion in the late 1960s.
A 1966 advertisement touted the new Jayhawker Towers apartments as the ultimate in campus living.
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.
