Finance continued from p. 1
In a Nov. 14 Kansas political column outlining the Freedom Coalition's platform, Steve Bergstrom, who is now secretary of the Finance committee, said, "The Freedom Coalition pledges to terminate funding of specific groups and projects that are viewed as morally insupportable by a substantial segment of the student body."
The column said that the coalition would discontinue financing GLSOK.
Shafer said that the Freedom Coalition did not represent a substantial portion of the student body because only 246 students had voted for Bergstrom.
YESTERDAY, BERGSTROM said he had not changed his opinion about GLSKO but said he would make his final decision during deliberations on whether to support financing the group.
"I don't think anyone seriously could argue that four Freedom members are dominating the 45

Gilchrist said that yesterday he had suspended 15 members of the committee because of absences. He said 17 members of committee had attended the first budget hearing and 24 had been audited. The committee adjourned the third night of hearings because of a lack of a quorum, which is 13.
The letter said that the committee had tried to
'Groups would flood the meetings if they were open. Members of the committee would feel intimidated and couldn't speak freely. We're not trying to hide anything. The press will be there.'

The letter also said that questions asked by committee members had exceeded the bound- ing of 750 words.
LAST NIGHT, MEMBERS of the committee asked members of Latin American Solidarity about the role that politics and religion played in their organization's activities.
Shafer said, "Questions about political beliefs of the members have nothing to do with the budget. The purpose of the hearings is not to hold an inquisition on basic political beliefs. The intent should be to finance groups that have a diversity of viewpoints."
Gilchrist said, "The questions are not meant to drill the organizations to find out what their money is used for. They are to find out the needs of the organization and how it serves students."
Walt Bell, Lawrence senior, said, "At this point, people are supposed to take care of the

Jeffley also said he considered the proposed policy to be too stringent and said he would submit a more moderate proposal to the board.

"What I will propose is not a strengthening of the contract," Jeffs said, "but a clairvoyant understanding."

Current policy, stated in the residence hall
"A MECHANISM ALREADY exists in the contract," Jeffey said. "All the roommate has to do is say no. The problem lies in the fact that they don't know if they or they are too shy or timid to say anything."
Scaub and her roommate, Jill Murphy. Topeka freshman, said that they had posted a sign in their Corbin Hall window that said, "We're change," to publicize Jeffrey's petition.
Some residents said that they would not want to live in KU residence halls next year if the board adopted the proposal.
Jeffrey said, "About 99 percent of the people I've talked to are extremely upset about it — and a number of them have doubts about staying in the system."
"It was going to live in Oliver next year," Schaub said, "but if the change is made, I will find an apartment."

said, "It was our feeling that even though it had gone to the highest court in the state, a great injustice had been done."
She said she did not agree with the Supreme verdict because she objected to high-speed rail.
"We don't sit as a jury — we sit as legislators," she said. "But there are some times we can tell the other branch of government when an injustice has been done."
Sobach said that the state should be willing to back up with compassion its policy on a police officer's use of force.

Shore began the two-minute chase after he tried to stop Bender for speeding on Jayhawk Boulevard, according to KU police. Kenneth E. Hough was stopped by a vehicle from which Thornton was riding and was also killed.

In two separate civil suits in March and July 1981, a Douglas County District Court judge ruled that Shore was immune from being sued because of state policies.
Jim Denney, KU director of police, said yesterday he had no comment on the action.
"The important thing, in my mind," he said,
"is that the person being pursued chose to run
and chose to operate his vehicle in that way, and
it tragically ended in the deaths of two people."
