Student says 1,000 back end to GLSOK funds
By MARY SEXTON Staff Reporter
More than 1,000 students have signed a KU student's petitions designed to show support for a recent recommendation by the Student Senate Finance Committee and the Gay and Lesbian Service of Kansas that the petitions' sponsor said yesterday.
But Steve Imber, Lawrence junior and the sponsor of the petitioned, said that 13 petitions had been taken from living groups where he had left them.
Imber said that people had taken the
petitions after telling residents at the living group that they were there to petition them.
"Last night I went around to school halls, dorms, fraternities and sororites," he said, "but I found out people before me, been picking them up before me."
Imber said that he did not know who had gone ahead of him to pick up the petitions. He said that he was working on his own without the support of any organization, and that no one else have been picking up the petitions.
Imber would not say from which living groups the petitions had been

Imber, however, would not comment on whether he planned to ask for the

thought the organization could support itself with its own revenue from dapps.
Also circulating on campus are petitions sponsored by GLSOK that are designed to show that students support Student Senate finance for the group.
Ruth Lichtwardt, GLOSK president, said yesterday that the petitions that GLOSK was circulating had not been tampered with to her knowledge.
She also said that the response to the petition that the GLSOK office had received had been favorable so far, but she didn't know how many more signatures had been secured since Monday. The total on Monday was more than 200.
Rain soaks corn farmers' plans for April planting
By ROBIN PALMER Staff Reporter
The rainy weather of late March and early April has done more than add mud puddles to the streets of Lawrence.
For area farmers, the rain has prevented them from planting the corn crop that is normally planted in early April.
And if the farmers cannot plant the corn within a week, the harvest will be

for other crises.
He said that it would be at least a week before he could get his crop planted, and it would set his harvest back a week as well.
Walter Thome, a Lawrence farmer with 400 acres, said that if it rained anymore, most of the ground would be muddy or milo or soy beans instead of corn.
Jim Penny, manager for the Farmers Co-op Association, 325 Locust St. Minneapolis, MN 55410
would "be in full swing by now."
Penny said that hardly any of the local farmers had been able to plant their corn except in the bottom ground areas of the Kaw River.
The corn cannot be planted because the equipment cannot operate in the puddles of water now standing in most areas. The corn must be planted in water and mud clogs the equipment.
Besides equipment problems, when the ground is worked while it is wet it molds the dirt into clumps that prevent the corn from growing. Penny said.
The farmers might be all right as long as they get the corn crop in the ground before May, he said.
"They don't really have much of a choice," he said. "If the ground is ready, they have to plant."
Larry Tuckel, an area farmer with more than 300 acres of farmland, said that his corn fields were completely covered with water.
However, Tuckel said that as long as his crop was planted by the middle of May, he did not forsee any major problems other than a late harvest.
