A memorial service for Sem Kushaha Rugaaju, a recent KU graduate, his wife, also a former KU student, and their young son will be held at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow at Trinity Episcopal Church, 1011 Vermont St

Summer heat closes Bailev Hall
The School of Education, where students suffered during the summer of 1983 because of Bailey Hall's lack of air conditioning, has been relocated for the summer while a new ventilation system is installed.
The school's administrative offices moved May 15 to temporary quarters on the second floor of Fraser Hall. Officials expect to be back in Bailey by August 15, "whather construction is complete or not," said Hannes Combes, assistant to the dean.
Faculty members' offices, as well as Bailey's other offices, have been moved to various locations on campus. A list of temporary office locations has been posted on the front of Bailey Hall.
Police revise videotaping policy
The Lawrence Police Department has revised its policy concerning videotaping public events, obeying a general order issued by city manager Buford Watson last week.
The new policy prohibits videotaping except under specific circumstances, and lists five general principles governing videotape use, which were based in part on American Civil Liberties Union recommendations.
The policy prohibits videotaping on the basis of an individual's support of unpopular causes, race or ethnicity, or religious or spiritual beliefs.
It also prohibits the use of videotaping to record personal habits or predilections of an individual, or for harassment or interference with lawful political activity.
College sexual conservatism rises
University women have become more sexually conservative, according to three studies conducted by a University of Kansas presentat-
Meg Gerrard, associate professor of psychology, conducted a 10-year study on sexual behavior at the University of Texas at Austin. The results showed that the percentage of undergraduate students who had been sexually assaulted in 1974 rose to 50 percent in 1979, and dropped to 38 percent this year.
Gerrard attributes the conservatism to an increase in sexually transmitted diseases and to a generally more conservative campus atmosphere.
However, the new conservatism can inhibit contraceptive use. Gerrard said.
One result of the lack of contraceptive use is that about 8 to 10 percent of undergraduate women, including those at KU, have unplanned pregnancies each year. That would translate to about 650 unplanned pregnancies年 at KU, Gerrard said.

Commission controversy highlights past meetings
By SHAWNA SEED Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Routine business, mixed with controversy over its own procedures, have been the issues at recent reference City Commission meetings.
Instead of considering items on the consent agenda individually, the entire agenda is approved in one vote.
A rezoning request considered by the commission on May 15, led one commissioner to question the for-mer of the commission's consent agenda.
AT THE May 15 meeting, the commission approved on first reading a request to rezone an area east of McDonald Drive and Second Street. The rezoning would allow construction of office buildings, an apartment complex and a budget motel in the area.
Commissioners David Longhurst and Nancy Shontz voted against the rezoning request. When the item appeared on the consent agenda at the May 22 meeting, Shontz questioned whether items that had not been written in their reading should be placed on the consent agenda on second reading.
Shontz argued that placing such items on the consent agenda placed a burden on dissenting commissioners to give the item considered separately.
The commission moved the ordinance from the consent agenda and considered it separately.
IT WAS APPROVED, 3-2. on second reading, with Shontz and Longhurst voting against it.
At the May 15 meeting, the commission gave final approval to a 15 year franchise agreement between ADB and Public Service Company and the city.
Homeowners must wait in bid to stop apartments
By SHAWNA SEED Staff Reporter
Homeowners in the 1300 and 1400 blocks of Lawrence Avenue must wait to see whether their bid to block apartment development, which they say threatens the character of their neighborhood, will succeed.
The Lawrence City Commission voted last night to refer the group's rezoning request to the city staff for study.
The homeowners presented a petition that advocated the creation of a buffer zone of duplexes between the residential area and apartment development. One group of apartment owners in the neighborhood is already near completion.

In addition to voicing aesthetic concerns, homeowners complained that further apartment development would create heavier traffic in the area.
Herbert Weidensaul, 115 Providence Road, who owns the lots that the homeowners want rezoned and the nearly completed apartment complex across the street from the single-family residences, said that he was proud of his apartment development
Wedensaal said to the homeowners, "I don't think any of your dunn houses look any better than mine do."
Commissioner Howard Hill acknowledged that the situation was “emotional and difficult” when he moved to have the city staff study rezoning request. The staff has two weeks to prepare a recommendation.
Taxidermists discuss trade at assembly

The deer stood motionless, its head poised as if listening for the sound of an approaching predator.

From left are: Barry Smith, a taxidermist from Denver, Colo.; Mary Kaye McCarty of Washington, Kan.; Jim Whinnery of St. Louis; and Archie Phillips, president of the National Taxidermy Association and native of Fairfield, Ala.
Not a muscle moved as a man approached the animal and placed a blue ribbon at its feet.
Only its lack of movement gave the deer away, as it and the 176 other stuffed animals stood motionless in the exhibition at the second annual Kansas Association of Taxidermists' convention and competition held last weekend in the Kansas Union Ballroom.

About 200 professional and amateur taxidermists gathered Saturday and Sunday at the University of Kansas to compete, exchange ideas and learn the latest methods in the field of taxidermy.
MOUNTS WERE PLACED in the Kansas Union for display and judging, which was completed Saturday evening by National Taxidermist Association president Archie Philips; Barry Smith, former president of the Colorado Taxidermist Association; and Jim Whimery, a member of the Missouri Taxidermist Association.
A wide variety of mounts were entered in 18 categories, including
large and small mammals, waterfowl, deer heads and fish.
Each mount was judged on its own merit and was graded in different categories, including originality and difficulty of mount.
Tom Swearingen, director of exhibits at the Natural History Museum, said that judging the
competiton was tough.
"I got an honorable mention and was lucky to get away with that," he said.
THE KANSSA chapter of the National Association of Taxidermists, KAT, was formed in 1982 and was published by the taxidermists and the public at the
newest techniques and developments in the field.
Sign up now!
The 52 members of KAT meet together three times a year to exchange ideas and secrets and to discuss their art
"The taxidermist is a sculptor who uses real remains," Swearingen said.
