1. University Daily Kansan, March 6, 1985 CAMPUS AND AREA Page 10 Petition before Senate may be altered By CECILIA MILLS Staff Reporter A petition before the Student Senate asking that persons convicted of sexual crimes not be allowed to represent the University in highly public positions may be amended before it is proposed at tonight's Senate meeting, a Nunemaker senator said yesterday. The petition was approved by the Senate University Affairs Committee on Monday that included a motion to the football scholarship and team membership of Roderick Timmons, a defensive lineman, be withdrawn. Timmons was convicted in July of a misdemeanor charge of sexual battery after an incident last March at Jawahyer Towers. Approval of the petition does not mean that any action will be taken against Timmons. It would be a request for action and a statement of the Senate's position. Aison Young, Nunemaker senator, said she hoped to rewrite or amend the petition to emphasize the part that she supported with Timmons, not the part dealing with Timmons. not the part being used. "I AGREE VERY strongly with the sentiment, but I don't agree with" the way it's woved and the emphasis being on Roderick Timmons rather than emphasizing the seriousness of sexual crimes." Young said. Athletic Director Monte Johnson said yesterday that a coach had the right to decide when athletes' scholarships or team memberships should be taken away. "I'm not trying to judge an individual, and I would hope others wouldn't try to without getting all the facts," Johnson said. *'Any coach who has compassion for athletes has to look at more than one team.'* what most people see as parabola? Head football coach Mike Gottfried was unavailable for comment. Rose said he didn't think the Athletic Department would take action against Timmons. Lonny Rose, an assistant athletic director and legal counsel for the Athletic Department, said NCAA rules said an athlete's action was if the recipient engaged in serious misconduct warranting action. Amy Kincaid, Nunemaker senator and Amy Brown, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, are authors of the petition. Brown said the purpose of the petition was not to punish Timmons specifically. Spiders, skulls hit the road in traveling kits By HEATHER R. BIGGINS Staff Reporter The tarantula in the back of Marilyn McCleary's classroom Thursday turned the heads of several Woodlawn Elementary School sixth graders. The spider rested on a textbook not far from 12-year-old Tracy Shelby. He inspected it with a small magnifying glass. "Ooh, geez," he said. "It's dead all right." Last week, McCleary rented a gray trunk filled with spiders from the Museum of Natural History and 12 of her students the snider basics. spike skins. The spider kit was one of five that McCleary has rented from the museum during the last two years. she said the kits were a "perfect hands-on package for young kids who want to learn about science." The "ooh" is just the response that Bitsey Patton, museum program developer, wants to hear every time a kit is opened and children learn of its contents. PATTON GOT THE IDE to develop the kits nine years ago, when the museum received a call from a teacher in Kismet, a small town in southwest Kansas. The teacher wanted to borrow mammal skins for her students to study. Patton said she wondered whether other schools would find similar educational materials of value. If the kids couldn't come to the museum, Patton said, the museum would come to them. Glossy posters of spider anatomy covered the cork board by Mc- Cleary's classroom door. Photos and descriptions of spiders in see-through plastic cases were displayed on a work table. McCleary asked her students to write a report on what they had learned. "This is much better than just looking at pictures in a book," said Alvin McCann. 12. THE MUSEUM LENDS 10 kits of everything from spiders to mammal skulls to sharks for $12 a week, and Patton said she was developing more kits. Kits can include posters, photographs, tapes and bibliographies of the kits 'developer But most importantly, Patton said, the kit contains the objects that are being discussed. Patton said that a kit could cost up to $3,000 for labor and materials, but that if children could get excited about science from seeing the kits, it "I KNOW WHEN I was a kid I heard 'Don't touch' more than 'Do touch,' she said. "We want to have the real critter there. We want kids to be able to feel the fur of a coyote or the rainbow-colored shell of a turtle. turbo. The kits fight against students' and teachers' fear of science, Patton said. "When girls get into their teens they tend to feel it's not cool to like science," she said. "Teachers often feel uncomfortable with teaching the subject, and boys think you have to have invented the light bulb before you can become a scientist "We want people to fall in love with science." 10% Discount off handling charges Ship Your Packages Home With Us Holiday Plaza (near Kief's) PS EXPRESS 842-3413 KOSTIGNAR, NORTHFACE, WILDENESS EXPERIENCE, DANNER, WOLLRICH, TERRAMAR, DUFOOLD, TRAWLIE, PATAGONIA, ROYAL ROBBINS JOREL, BARON, AND MANY OTHER QUALITY MARKS...
