BRIEFS
Panel to discuss womens' issues
A panel will meet at 7 tonight at the Pine Room in the Kansas Union to discuss issues and myths concerning women.
The discussion, "How Can A Woman Be Whole?" will focus on the myth that women do not possess the qualities associated with being a complete individual and what it means to be whole in all aspects of life, from careers to families.
Panelists will be the Rev. Susan Hartley, Ecumenical Christian Ministries; Dr. Sandy Shaw, executive director, Bert Nash Mental Health Center; and Mary Chappell, director of KU recreation services.
The event is sponsored by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and is open to the public.
Speaker to address free market
A lecture presented tonight by a representative from the Institute for Humane Studies will focus on free-market economies.
Mark Brady, student adviser for academics at the institute's headquarters in Fairfax, Va., will speak on "The Worldwide Free-Market Revolution" at 7 p.m. at the Centennial Room in the Kansas Union.
The lecture will focus on the former Soviet Union's free-market economy, said Allen Tiffany, Lawrence graduate student and guest-speaker coordinator for KU Libertarians. The organization is sponsoring the event.
Brady will also contrast that economy with how the United States is moving away from a free-market economy. Tiffany said.
A question-and answer session will follow the lecture.
Art exhibit focuses on rural U.S.
Small towns and the countryside are the focus of the latest exhibit in the Spencer Museum of Art, "Rural America: Prints from the Collection of Steven Schmidt."
The exhibit opened Sunday and runs through May 16.
On the fifth floor of the White Gallery, the display includes 57 of the 95 prints owned by Steven Schmidt, a 1958 KU graduate.
Bill North, Lawrence graduate student and curator of the exhibit, will lead a guided tour of the exhibit today at 12:15 p.m.
Bill would finance 40 fellowships
Most of the prints are from the 1930s and 1940s, but they range between 1929 and 1991. North said. The display includes three important Depression era regionalist artists, Thomas Hart Benton, Grant Wood and John Steuart Curry.
Gov. Joan Finney on Tuesday signed two education bills, one of which would establish 40 $8,000 ethnic minority graduate student fellowships at the Regents universities.
Sixteen of the fellowships would go to KU students.
Bills become law when the governor signs them, but the number of fellowships and the amount of each is still subject to change because a Regents appropriations bill has not yet been signed.
The same is true for a bill that would establish a $2.3 million grant program to be distributed on a need basis for students at the Regents universities. One-quarter of a proposed 8 percent tuition increase would finance the program. Finney proposed both bills, which moved through the Legislature virtually unchanged.

Kathy Steiner, Kansas City, Mo., resident, and Jon Chamberlin. Overland Park resident, act out a mugging for Sharon Danoff Burg's women's studies class. Steiner and Chamberlin, both instructors for the Model Mugging of Kansas organization, were on campus yesterday for an informative demonstration.
The safety dance
Police remember past Final Four parties

the ku campus is no stranger to Final Four celebrations. As the anticipation and excitement continue to build for this weekend's battle in the bayou with the boys in Carolina blue, police are looking at past Final Four celebrations and preparing for the student onslaught.
KU police Lr. John Mullens said he expected large crowds on campus after the games, whether KU wins or loses.
He said that a crowd estimated at 43,000 showed up to party after KU beat Oklahoma in 1988 for the national championship. In 1991, after a championship game loss to Duke, the crowd was closer to 25,000, he said.
"I was in the middle of both of them and saw virtually the same stuff," Mullens said.
"There was as much damage and injuries in both years. You couldn't tell the difference after half-an-hour. In '88, we won and nobody cared. In '91 we lost, and people made a big deal out of it."
Paramedics at the scene in 1988 treated 19 people for various injuries. Eleven of those injured were treated at hospitals.
After the loss in 1991, paramedics treated 90 people. About 50 people were taken to hospitals.
Mullens said that students were not the only participants in the crowds. He said the crowds comprised an equal number of students, Lawrence residents and groups of
people that were "just there."
"That group basically comes down for its own purpose — to party." Mullens said, "What they decide on the spot generally becomes the theme for the night."
crant Desalvo, director of counseling and psychiatric services at Watkins Student Health Center, said that the difference between a victory and a loss could have an effect on crowd behavior. He compared the 1988 and 1991 celebrations.
"The crowd was in a very different mood," he said. "The difference was a sense of celebration and a sense of anger.
"Crowds can make you high-five and hug people you don't know. In a crowd, you're doing things and saying things you wouldn't normally do."
Chris Crandall, assistant professor of psychology, agreed.
"People lose their sense of awareness of themselves," Crandall said. "They sort of forget their own attitudes and beliefs."
Fans will hawk one in Kansas River for the 'Hawks
By Jess DeHaver
Spittin' for victory.
That's what Jayhawk fans will do at 7 a.m. toorrow at the Kansas River Bridge as part of the "Sunrise Spitfest."
Kansas coach Roy Williams has received substantial media attention for his belief that it is good luck to spit into the Mississippi River. Williams took his entire team to spit in the Mississippi when they competed in the Midwest Regional in St. Louis.
Sunflower Cablevision is sponsoring the event, which will allow fans to express their support for the Kansas men's basketball team and its trip to the Final Four in New Orleans by spitting into the Kansas River.
The spitfest was the idea of Cathy Hamilton, the features reporter for Sunflower Cablevision's Channel 6 News.
"I was thinking that the Kaw River feeds into the Missouri River, which feeds into the Mississippi," she said. "I just felt it would be good to spit our support to the team simultaneously. It's worked so far."
Lawrence Mayor Bob Schulte, who proclaimed Friday "Spit For Victory Day," will be master of ceremonies for the event.
"The city is going along with it in the light-hearted vein in which it was presented." Schulte said. "It seems like a strange way to support the team, but it seems to be the thing to do in 1993."
Schulte said that he was not quite sure
what his actual duties would be tomorrow but that he was pleased to participate.
"I guess I'll kind of be the master of expectoration," he said. "I'll not sure if I actually spit, but if people think it will help, I'm happy to do my part."
Hamilton said the event was being held so early because traffic on the bridge would be low and so students would be able to attend. Festivities will begin at 6:45 a.m. with music from the KU pep band. Participants will spit into the river after a countdown and shotgun blast.
Participants are asked to park their cars in city lots or at the Lawrence Riverfront Plaza. Cars will not be allowed to stop on the bridge during the event.
Missing fliers lead to protest

Eric Marko, Kansas City, Mo.
senior, posted 20 fliers at 2 p.m. Tuesday in Marvin Hall. The fliers announced a new computer file for faculty and students to voice their opinions about the School of Architecture. The next morning only two fliers remained.
Marko said he set up the open access computer file at the school's computer lab because he was frustrated by the quick and specific removal of students' posters.
This was the first time fliers pit up by students had been removed from school bulletin boards, Marko said. He suspects the school's admin-istration to be the removal of the fliers, some of which criticized the administration.
The fliers taken down were on public bulletin boards. They addressed students problems with the administration, the need for social space for students and a call for students to unite to make changes within the school.
He said he thought the architecture school's administration was trying to stifle students' opinions by asking the housekeeping staff to take down the posters.
If a dean did make a request for certain posters to be removed, the staff would remove the posters, said Phil Endacott, associate director of housekeeping. Otherwise, all flirts are removed only for periodic cleaning.
Lucas said he did not even know about the fliers.
However, Max Lucas, dean of the school, and Dennis Domer, associate dean, said they had not ordered the removal of the flivers.
Domer said that although he did not ask for the filters' removal, he thought it was his First Amendment right to take down posters.
Mike Merriam, an attorney from Topeka who specializes in First Amendment issues, said a dean or faculty member did not have the right to take down students' posters. Deans and faculty act on behalf of government, and by ordering the posters' removal, they would be using their power to quiet students' voices.
But Lucas said a University attorney advised him that administrators did not give up their First Amendment rights when they became administrators. They are within the law when removing posters.
Rose Marino, associate general counsel for the University, would not comment.
Meanwhile, Marko plans to put up a second set of posters today announcing the open access computer file, even though the first posters were taken down.
Marko and Domer plan to meet to discuss what will be allowed to be written and published on the computer file.
