Lichtwardt continued from p. 1
"She's very personable," Imber says. "Lots of people think we're rivals, but I like her. While I have public disagreements with her, I still respect her."
Last year, the Finance Committee included no money for GLSKO in its budget. The full Senate later amended the bill and approved 5055 for office rent and telephone expenses.
HER DEALINGS with the Senate made Lichtward interested in student politics. Last semester, she ran and was elected as an ACLU board member and chairman of the Minority Affairs Committee
Lichtward says her relations with William Easley, student body president, and Jeff Polack, student body vice president, aren't the best.
"There are a lot of things we don't agree on," she says. "But since they are the
administration, I'm more than willing to work with them in any way possible that's going to accomplish something really good for the students."
for the students.
Polack says Lichtwardt has been quiet about most of the issues the Senate has covered so far.
Lichtward, says her upbringing helped form her beliefs on many minority issues.
covered as is.
"I haven't seen a direct obvious impact from her," he says, "but she could be working behind the scenes."
"I WAS RAISED with a good background of civil rights" she says. "When Martin Luther King Jr. was shot, I didn't know who he was, and my parents were appalled. They went out and bought me all kinds of books on black history."
Last semester, Lichtwatt says, she and other GLSOK members noticed an increase
in harassment. The GLSOK office in the Kansas Union received more prank telephone calls, she says, and more GLSOK members reported that they had been followed, been called names and been victims of physical violence.
Lichtwardt says her interest in stopping the harassment reached its peak in September, when the lug nuts on a friend's car were loosened and one of the car's wheels fell off as he was driving along Jayhawk Boulevard. He quit school after that and moved away because he was frustrated that KU administrators weren't trying to stop the harassment, she says.
"I PICKED UP where he left off," Lichtward says. "But it was really hard to do because he was part of my driving force and he quit and left."

Many of the problems gay people have are
caused by society's attitudes toward homosexuality. Lichtward says. Most people know only what the media report about the gay community, which often isn't good, she says.
"If gay people were accepted as human beings first, the majority of problems would disappear," she says. "All the time I've been involved in gay civil rights and GLOSOK, I've had this view that because of Supreme Court rulings, because of the Constitution, because of the way this country's set up—gay people should have the same rights as everyone else."
This is one reason Lichtwardt says she fights for gay rights and financing for GLSOK.
WHENEVER SOMETHING comes up such as the funding issue, I dive right in
because I just have this feeling we can't lose in the long run," she says.
People have based their attitudes toward the gay community — especially the lesbian subculture — on ignorance. Lichtwardt says
"Most people ignore lesbians; they're only concerned with gay men." Lichtward says. "The lesbian subculture has a lot of positive things going for it. But it's pretty much glossed over and ignored. And the gay man subculture has good going for it, too, but people concentrate on the bad."
in Lichtwardt's ideal world, she says, no one would care about other people's sexual preferences or skin color.
"My ideal world would be one where people's humanity and basic rights are respected universally," she says. "I don't know whether I'll really see gays have equal rights in my life, but I'm hoping to."
