players through the mud or to incite the student body against football players.
"I feel confident that the University is taking steps to impress upon the athletes that their performance off the field is as much a魅力 as university diversity as their performance on the field."
In response to a petition criticizing the conduct of a football player convicted of sexual battery last summer, David Amblet, vice chancellor for student affairs, suggested last week that a commission be formed to set standards for participants in student activities, including athletics, and elected or appointed student officials.
THE COMMISSION MAY be established this summer.
"When a student runs afoul of the law,
'Bemarl said, 'he will have to have his day in
circuit.'"
"If, after court, the University has a distinct and special interest in the matter, it may elect to take special disciplinary action."
Ambler said the University hadn't taken action in the past until the court proceedings
"The fact that they're football players," Ambler said, "should give them no special favors under the law or disciplinary procedures of the University.
"The commission is going to look at whether there should be special standards to adhere to because they are student leaders."
Aid continued from p.1
Capitol Hill devoted entirely to the foreign policy issue.
Hours before the vote, Reagan sent a letter to the Senate saying the United States was at a "moment of judgment" in its Central American policy.
"If we abandon democracy in Nicaragua, if we tolerate the consolidation of a surrogate state in Central America, responsive to Cuba and the Soviet Union, we will see the progress that has been achieved begin to unravel under the strain of a continuing conflict, attempts at subversion and loss of confidence in our support," Reagan said.
Seeking to reassure Democrats who said the money would find its way into military aid, Reagan said it would only go for "food, medicine, clothing and other assistance for their survival and well-being — and not for arms, ammunition, and weapons of war."
ALTHOUGH $14 MILLION is a pitition in terms of the amount of money Congress usually deals with, the administration has made the aid to the contrains the centerpiece of its Central American policy. Democrats have chosen the issue as the hallmark of their resistance to what some say could be another Vietnam.
Senate Republicans had hoped to expand on the compromise that swayed some Senate Democrats and push the measure through the reluctant House. But the compromise effort collapsed when the White House refused to yield further on any main point.
Senate Republicans were forced to back Reagan's original proposal to provide $14 million in humanitarian aid directly to the contras.
SENATE DEMOCRATS, SENSITIVE to charges they were abandoning the Central American nation to Marxists, pushed for a compromise. But they were concerned about a provision of the Reagan proposal that would allow the aid to be used for military purposes if there were no negotiations between the Sandistas and the rebels. They also wanted the funds channelled through some group other than the CIA.
Reagan rejected the proposals and the House killed the final package.
"What we proposed was an offer they couldn't refuse, but they did," said Sen. Bennett Johnston, D-La. "I'm really mystified as to why the administration didn't allow us unless they want complete and total victory and in this business you can't get that."
Vice President George Bush and Secretary of State George Shultz led the administration's laborists in the Capitol. Bush said that he would not want to cause it did not want to send the wrong signal.
Topeka continued from p. 1
"The right signal is we do not want to see an expansion of a firm foothold of Marxism, communism, in Central America." he said. "We're sending a signal we really believe in democracy and we believe in the freedom that revolution was fought about. I think the senators are going to agree with that."
Because of the decline, the Legislature didn't give Washburn as much money as it had requested for fiscal 1986.
But Washburn officials argued that the decline was the result of an agreement worked out between the Wasburn and KU law schools to hold down enrollment to improve the quality of law school graduates in the state. KU and Washburn are the only universities in Kansas offering law degrees.
BECAUSE OF THE enrolment declines, the Legislature decided not to grant $77,000 to KU under interest. After the money was given to Washburn, the extra money for KU was introduced.
"What's good for one is good for the other," Winter said.
He said he thought the bill also would contain another $7,000 for KU to finance a research program with Parsons State Hospital. The money originally was in the recess. He had asked Regents, approved before the recess, but was "removed so it could be discussed further."
The omnibus bill will contain even more money for capital improvements at KU, WSU and other institutions.
Along with the omnibus bill, the House also plans to consider a resolution to allow Kansans to vote on whether the state should start a lottery.
Because the resolution will require that an amendment be added to the state constitution, it must be approved by at least two-thirds of House members.
Fire destroys barn; no one reported hurt
A fire last night destroyed a 74-year-old barn on Route 5 about three miles south of the city.
The fire lit up the sky in southeast Lawrence and could be seen as far away as Daisy Hill. Fire dispatchers received about two dozen calls reporting the fire.
No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire was not been determined as of late last night, said Mike Burnett, town manager. Wakaruna Township fire department.
Burnett said an unidentified caller reported the fire at about 7:15 p.m. Three fire engines responded to the fire, which he probably would burn most of the night.
Arden Booth, 73, owner of the barn, said he wasn't sure whether the barn was insured or how much it was worth.
Booth, who lives on Route 6, said the barn contained little more than straw and hay. He said he had moved his Hereford cattle soon from the barn to land near his house.
The barn was worth $2,000 when it was built, said Booth, who has owned the barn since 1979. He said he was unsure of its current value.
