with a similar problem by setting up a program in which students met in their living groups to discuss cultural differences, he said.
But a university as large as KU could probably have such a program only on a volunteer basis, he said.
"It would probably draw 30 or 40 student leaders, and that's it," Katzman said.
He said a task force would soon begin to study the problem.
David Amber, vice chancellor for student affairs, said that the task force would work to teach people their rights of free speech and research.
"THOSE ARE SOME of the basic freedoms that are sacred to society but in particular to the university community," Ambler said.
Jordan Fedder, chairman of the American-Israeli Friendship Organization, said he was unsure whether the incidents represented an anti-Semitic trend.
"It is hard to distinguish between anti-Semitic and anti-Iraeli feeling," he said.
But Fedder said he thought anti-Semitism would increase in future generations as memories of the treatment of Jews in World War II faded.
Katzman said last November's incidents had bothered him especially because they took place on campus, a place traditionally known for its freedom of speech.
"It's the faculty and students who have to set the tone and ultimately have the responsibility for what happens," he said.
Disabled get free ride to campus and classes
By JIM BOLE Staff Reporter
When Jim Strickland, Ottawa senior, first came to the University of Kansas, he could not take the classes he wanted. He had to take classes that were held close together because he was either on crutches or in a wheelchair;
When Lisa Wagron, Wichita junior, got back from Thanksgiving last year, she tore torn knee ligaments and a hip-length leg brace because of a skiing accident.
Now Jim can take the classes he wants,
wherever they are, and Lisa can get to class
when she is.
THEY RIDE, free, in a specially-equipped van that the University provides for temporarily and permanently handicapped students, getting them onto campus and to and from buildings.
Robert Turvey, associate director of the student assistance center and coordinator of the lift-van service, said students with physical handicaps were eligible to get rides for such academic purposes as going to class, studying at the library or seeing a professor.
He said about half as many students are riding the van because financial aid to many handicapped students has been cut off this year so that they cannot afford to go to school!
"A person who might be more expensive to provide services to by the state of Kansas is
HE SAID handicapped students had extra medical expenses as well as educational expenses, and were not able to return to KU because they lacked money.
the person who seems to have been hit the earliest." he said.
The $20,000 beige van can hold four wheelchairs and five other passengers.
Strickland has been a regular rider for about eight years.
"At first I was real self-conscious about riding in the van, and I was a little nervous," he said. "But after the first day I said, 'hey, this is okay,'"
Anne Jensen, Prairie Village senior, is one of three drivers of the van.
"Although it's only giving an inch instead of a mile, I envy helping people," she said.
Tarvey said about nine permanent and 12 temporary riders had used the van this year.
Association The van is operated and maintained by the facilities operations motor pool, financed through Student Senate.
HE SAID THE VAN was bought two years ago with money raised by the Interfraternity Council, Students Concerned with Disabilities and the Kansas University Endowment
He said $18,000 had been budgeted by the Student Senate for the service, but only $4,000 had been spent so far this school year because of the decline in passengers. He hoped to end this year spending $9,000.
