with the organization, so they've been asked to pay back the money used for personal reasons.
The phone calls were made from July through December.
Four people — Gentry; Maria Sanchez, KU-Y president; Pam Lewis, former member of KU-Y; and Tyrone Dyse, former coordinator of KU-Y — had official access to keys to the KU-Y offices this semester, according to Kansas Union records. Gentry said he did not know who had access to KU-Y's offices during the summer.
"That's something I'm investigating, too." Gentry said.
He said he was unaware of any personal calls made or accepted on the KU1Y phone.
Busby said the Senate financed few long-distance phone calls for student groups. The Senate now wants to be reimbursed by KU-Y for the phone calls not covered by its budget.
IN ADDITION TO the collect calls, 28 third-party calls from 22 different numbers were charged to the KU-Y number in one month this summer.
The Senate reversed the charges for third-party phone calls to the numbers from which they had been made. Frederick said. Those calls were all from the original of the original $1,243.84 delinquent phone bill.
*entry said he was not worried about finding
money to pay the bills, although the group's main promoter, the Rock Chalk Revue, was canceled this year. KU-Y earned about $10,680 from the event, which featured skits by living groups.
Rock Chalk participants received no money for their efforts, and the profits provided a small percentage of the funds.
The Board of Class Officers decided last spring to use the Rock Chalk format in a new show and to distribute the profits to the United Fund and the groups that worked on the show.
GENTRY SAID HE hoped to organize a new Rock Chalk Revue for the 1983-84 school year as a variety show with an emphasis on the concerns of "oppressed" people.
"The old one became something like a tradition for sororities and fraternites." Gentry said. "They didn't stop to consider the significance of it."
KU-Y has supported the efforts of several campus organizations, including the KU Committee on South Africa, Latin American Society and the KU Nuclear Divestment Association.
HOWEVER, THE GROUP may be losing its following on campus. Neither Gentry nor Tim Miller, KU-Y adviser, could name any current affiliate groups of KU-Y, although many groups used to be officially associated with the organization.
Gentry said KU-Y no longer participated in
the Big Brother/Big Sister or Urban Plunge programs.
The KU-Y advisory board has not had a meeting yet this semester, but it will meet soon, Gentry said. Although he named only a few members, "Gentry said the organization was not dying.
The group, which has maintained two offices in the Union for several years, is narrowing its focus from promoting many social issues to concentrating on the elimination of racism and sexism. Gentry said, Consequently, the membership is changing.
Miller said he knew little about the group's current activities or plans.

Senators to vote on jobless benefits
By JEFF TAYLOR

TOPEKA — A bill intended to prevent the state's Employment Security Fund from going broke was recommended to the Senate yesterday, where a vote is expected to split along party lines, a state senator said.
The bill would freeze maximum unemployment benefits at $163 a week for two years and would increase by 20 percent the amount that employers must pay into the fund.
Under the bill, the two-year plan would be lifted if the state fund reached a balance of $80 million by April 1, 1984.
State Sen. Bill Morris, R-Wichita, chairman of the committee, said he expected party-line
votes in the Senate tomorrow, but said the bill was needed to keep the fund from going broke.
"THERE'S NOTHING PARTISAN about the bill," he said. "If people want to be partisan about it, I think they will."
"Any responsible legislator would vote for the bill. It can fail, and the unemployment fund
The Department of Human Resources has determined that the state's unemployment fund would be depleted by November unless the fund received more revenue.
Originally, the House had sent a plan to the Senate Committee on Labor, Industry and Tourism that would have required a $100 million budget before the program could have been dropped.
But the Senate committee amended it so that
the plan could be dropped if an $80 million balance was attained.
State Sen. Neil Arasmith, R-Philipsburg, said it was difficult to forecast whether the bill would slip through the Senate easily, but he said a partisan vote was likely.
A KEY ISSUE debated among legislators in both the House and Senate while working on this bill had been whether the program should last for two years, instead of the recommended
Representatives from labor and industry had recommended to the House Committee on Labor and Industry that the unemployment contributions last only one year.
But the House instead passed a two year plan that was widely opposed by Democrats.
Student organizations object to Senate's disclaimer policy
By SARA KEMPIN
Staff Reporter
Eight representatives from student-financed organizations objected last night to a Senate policy requiring them to put a disclaimer in literature they print.
Gail Boaz, president of River City Women's Health Collective, said the Senate administration had not explained to the groups that they had to print the disclaimers.
River City Women's Health Collective has been printing pamphlets for three years, she said, but had not been required to print a disclaimer.
'The motivation for the policy seems to be directed towards one group,' she said.
The new disclaimer requires groups supported by student activity fees to print in their pamphlets that the content of the material does not necessarily represent the opinion of the Senate.
EARLIER THIS MONTH Terry Frederick, Senate treasurer, had asked StudEx for a clarification of a Senate rule stating that no funds should be allocated to promote a political group or issue.
Boa said she had not heard anything about the disclaimer policy until Frederick delayed approving a Latin American Solidarity pawn, so he could get a policy clarification from Studios.
Frederick said the disclaimer rule had existed for several years and was printed in a Senate business procedures guide issued to groups that received Senate money.
Jim Cramer, student body vice president, said
the treasurer was responsible to see that the disclaimer was in effect:
"Terry is enforcing an old rule." he said.
"Terry is enforcing an old rule," he said. Rhonda Neugebauer, a coordinator of Latin American Solidarity, said that after Frederick teased her for "the wrong way to disclare a new disclaimer and gave it to the group."
"We objected to an unannounced policy change that we felt was aimed directly at us," Neugebauer said.
Lisa Ashner, student body president, said Senate rules gave the treasurer the right to set policy, so Frederick had the right to draw up a new disclaimer.
Ashner said the Senate administration had rescinded the new disclaimer in favor of the old one, to be consistent throughout fiscal 1983, she said.
Neugebauer said she thought that the groups had scored a big victory for free speech because the Senate had rescinded the new disclaimer.
ASHNER SAID STUDEX was not in the position to decide what groups financed by student money could print.
“It's not our job to act as censors,” she said. “We don't make decisions as to the content of the literature groups publish.”
If the groups operate within Senate rules and regulations, she said, the Senate cannot tell them.
Tim Pogacar, president of Amnesty International, said his group was alarmed that student government had the power to impede free speech.
The group submitted its newsletter for the treasurer's approval in early February, he said. The treasurer said that the treasurer was not sure whether student money should pay for the newsletter's printing, he said.
KU student files suit against Seurer
A KU student filed a $5,000 civil suit Monday in Douglas County District Court against Frank Seurer, KU quarterback.
Steve Robinson, Wichita senior, claimed in the suit that Searer caused him physical and emotional damage by hitting him Aug. 28 at Off-The-Wall-Hall, 737 New Hampshire St.
Seurer was convicted on one count of misdemeanor battery Dec. 10 for hitting Robinson. The court fined Seurer $100.
Robinson has filed for $300 in actual damages and $4,700 in other damages against Seurer, Huntington Beach, Calif., junior.
