Panhellenic joins beer boycott
By TODD NELSON Staff Reporter
The boycott of the Adolph Coors Ce by several KU student groups grew this weekend when the KU Panhellenic Association voted unanimously Sunday to boycott the company in response to comments made by its chairman.
LaDale George, a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity who presented the proposal to Panhellenic, said that the boycott would prohibit Panhellenic from buying Coors beer, from entering into any contract with Coors and from joining in any joint gathering that Coors sponsored or that served Coors beer.
"I FEEL ENCOURAGED that they supported the boycott," George said. "It's another step that was predicted by many to be a hard one."
The Panellhemie boycott, however,
does not prohibit sorbites from using
the product.
Sheila Immel, Pannhellen adviser, said that sororities would be voting this week on whether to adopt their own resolutions to join the boycott against
George said that the Panhellenic boycott resolution was similar to a Coors boyscott resolution approved by five KU residence halls last week.
The boycott against Coors at the University of Kansas began April 5, when the Association of University Residence Halls general assembly members voted unanimously to adopt a policy that George presented to them.
George said that he had initiated the boycott as a reaction to racist comments William K. Coors, chairman and chief executive of the brewery, made in February to a group of minority business men in Denver.
COORS HAS SINCE apologized twice for the comments, in which he said that African blacks were "intellectually inferior."
The company recently filed a $150
million litel suit against the Rocky Mountain News in Jefferson County, Colo. District Court that charges that the namer noted Coors out of context
P. J. McGovern, Coors campus representative, last week told George, James Jeffley, AURH president, and Carla Vogel, student body president, that a videotape of Coors speech would show them that Coors did not mean what he said in the way it had been quoted.
The Student Senate Minority Affairs Committee will consider tomorrow a petition George plans to submit that the senate will approve a bill to sell storing Coors beer in the Union.
George said that he would consider hailing his drive among KU student groups to buycock Goors only if the tape indicated that Coors had been quoted before.
Vogel said that she and George would probably write a resolution either by writing it on the board or stating an opinion on the boycott to present to the Student Senate tomorrow.
KU Senate quorum called unlikely
By JENNY BARKER Staff Reporter
The University Senate hasn't had a quorum since 1971, and it probably won't have one today when it meets to consider creating a grade appeals board at the University of Kansas, a University Senate official said yesterday.
James Carothers, chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee and an English professor, said that the University Senate last had a quorum in 1971 after the Kansas Union burned.
"If you can't have a University Senate会议 unless the Union burns down, then you aren't going to have a Senate Conference. Senate meetings," Carothers said.
The Senate comprises all KU faculty and administrators. The Senate includes people who are KU members or U.S. government members.
"I THINK WE NEED a better way than calling meetings in which it's almost inevitable that a quorum will
not appear." Carothers said.
He said one solution to the quorum problem would be to bypass Senate meetings and simply conduct business through a mail vote. Senate meetings are intended to be a forum for people to express their opinions, Carothers said.
Fourteen members showed up at the last Senate meeting, which was called for a vote on a proposal for a discontinuance policy at KU.
Carothers said that no one expected a quorum at that meeting, which was held in Alderson Auditorium. Alderson seats 200 people — a Senate quorum is 244. Today's meeting will be in the auditorium with the capacity of 356 people. But the larger auditorium was not chosen because a quorum is expected, he said.
"We thought that by having it in the afternoon rather than the evening, and by having an issue that engages a broad spectrum of faculty involvement that we could do without quorum showed up," Carothers said. "Am I expecting one? No, but I've been
wrong before. It would be a novelty to have a quorum."
IF THE SENATE FAILS to achieve a quorum, the issue will automatically go
"I have no objection to a mail bill," Carothers said. "I think on an issue like this, it's appropriate that everyone gets a chance to express his opinion. But the business of calling meetings that you have on your desk may be that seems a strange way to proceed.
"And every time we use a balloon or call for a special meeting, it costs
Meredith Trembley, SenEx administrative assistant, said, "it costs quite a bit. At least 1,224 copies of the proposal and a notice of the special meeting have to be sent out."

By SHARON BODIN Staff Reporter
The Lawrence City Commission will review a report from the Lawrence Aviation Advisory Board tonight that outlines four proposals from firms interested in building an airport terminal.
"I think some people think, 'Why should we pay for something used by the fat cats who fly into Lawrence to go to the football games at KU?' " he said. "But the fat cats have already paid, through the aviation fuel tax."
Commissioner David Longhurst said that some residents did not realize that money to improve the airport has come from an aviation gas tax fund.
Recently, the city staff prepared a list of guidelines for the airport terminal project. The City Commission issued a request for proposals for the project, and during the designated time, the city received the four proposals that the commission will review tonight.
THE MONEY FOR the airport terminal would fund from local revenue-sharing funds. War said it could not use revenue-sharing funds was changed, allowing them to match federal funds with local money to use for airport renovation projects.
But three commissioners said yesterday that they did not think the commission would act on the report until the commission had discussed the proposals and financing of the airport terminal in a study session.
Hill said that the main issue in the present airport terminal project was that some people thought the city was trying to make city taxpayers finance the project by avoiding the general obligation bond issue.
The present proposals would be for a private firm to build the airport
Commissioner Howard Hill said, "I think there are some very workable proposals in the report. But I think it would be better if the commission received the report and scheduled a meeting session fairly soon to discuss them."
THE ISSUE OF HOW to finance improvement of the airport has been a controversial one. City Manager Buford Watson said yesterday.
Some Lawrence residents have said that they did not think the public should pay for an airport, Watson said, and they did not think it was beneficial.
Watson said that the public had opposed financing for airport improvements in two elections since 1968.
The elections were held for an issue of general obligation bonds to finance the project. General obligation bonds required additional tax on Lawrence citizens.

ATTENTION CONCERNED STUDENTS
On April 10, 1984 the K.U. Student Senate Finance Committee voted 8-3 to deny funds to the Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas for fiscal 1985. The Student Senate will have final say this Wednesday on whether this group will receive funds. That same night, Carla Vogel, Student Body President, said that she would veto any appropriations bill that did not include funds for GLSOK.
The K.U. Student Organizations will operate on a total budget of $66,300 for fiscal 1985. Student organizations receive $1.81 from every individuals activity fee of $24. As a concerned student, I feel I have a right to question or inquire as to where and how my money is being spent. This ad is not an attack on the GLSOK as an organizations or whether it should be allowed to operate from K.U., but rather an issue as to whether it should be funded by the students of K.U. The finance committee's reason for denying funds was that committee members thought GLSOK could cover its operating expenses with revenues from its dances, a reason which I am in complete agreement. GLSOK received $493 in fiscal '84. Included in this ad are the operating budgets of GLSOK of 83-84 and their funding requests for fiscal '85.
Another problem in this lissue is whether K.U. students have the right to determine where their mon ey is spent. Carla Vogel, Student Body President, campaigned for her office with promises of more student participation. She even suspended Robert's Rules of Order at Senate meetings so that more people would participate in them. Why then, did she come out and state her position on the GLSOK and threaten a veto without consulting what the student body wants, as opposed to what she might want or believes in?
Petitions are now circulating on campus concerning the funding request of $2,869.73 for GLSOK for fiscal 1985. If 10% of the student body signs these petitions, a referendum ballot would be voted on next fall. If the proposed referendum receives over 50% of the vote, the petition shall be treated as a regular enactment of the Student Senate, but will not be subject to the veto of the student body president, or revision by the Student Senate, at any time in any action during the next 12 months. Concerned students the decision is yours to make.
