Budget, Disunity, Accusations
BSU Faces Three Major Problems
By DAN EVANS
Kansan Staff Writer
In the face of large budget cuts, a split within the Lawrence black community and charges of illegal student union activity. Student Union at the University of Kansas has continued to exist the first half of this semester.
THE BIGGEST SETBACK for the BSU, according to John
LAVERTA MURRAY, Kansas City, Kan., senior and president of the organization, said last week that he would be for a house for the Afro House. Murray said he was optimistic building where Afro House had been located this summer, at Tenth and Rhode Island streets, and that he would have evicted from the house at the end of the summer, Murray said, but there is some possibility that it will be moved to it on the organization again.
Murray said the house was a good location for Afro house because it was near the homes of many blacks yet close to campus.
for Afro House all of these programs have been suspended, he said.
AFRO HOUSE is a black cultural center sponsored and run by the BSU, Murray said. The program is for classes, the site for a breakfast and lunch program, the center for a big brother and sister program and a meeting place for LaVaughn and Lawrence blacks, Murray said.
"We're not doing as well as we did last year and not as well as we had hoped."
Spearman, Lawrence junior and last year's president, has been the action by the Kansas Board of Education to fund $5,000 from the amount the Student Senate had allocated to SU, Spearman said last week.
The senate had appropriated $18,950 to the BSU, he said, but the regents cut that amount to $24,375 from the Senate, he said. The size of the final allocation has forced the BSU to suspend most of its programs, including the AFC House, Spearman said.
Until a new building is found
The classes held at Afrie House, Murray said, are offered through an independent school created by the BSU. Murray said this school was not the same as the Rick Dowdell Libertary School. The school has offered courses in black history and culture, he said.
THE BREAKFAST and lunch program is an effort to feed Lawrence children hot meals, Murray said. The program was designed and was considered a success by BSU members, he said.
Murray said the budget cuts eliminated an Insight on rehabilitation program planned for the prison. He said, would have been an effort by the BSU to aid the rehabilitation of inmates whose release from prison. He said the BSU had not approached the presentation of the program to inmate families and said that when the request was submitted for funds for the program, its format was not improved. A general outline was presented.

MURRAY SAID the details should have been worked out before the plan was submitted for approval. If the plan would be presented again next

working with the parents' organization in an attempt to settle the problems.
But the black parents denied that they were in any way concerned with the issue, and said. The BSU issued a statement supporting the black parents and
ANOTHER PROBLEM the BSU has faced this year is a split within the black community in Lawrence, Murray said. The split was caused by a group called the Colonized African Students (CAF) and the Lawrence Branch of the Conspiracy that it was the CAF said that it was sup-

Institute Applications Being Taken
When Afro House has been settled, the BSU will resume its programs and turn to areas that are being neglected now.

Murray said the conflict between the CAF and the black parents was almost resolved. He said the BSU would probably

soon merge with the CAF and the programs in the region combined. Most of the members of CAF, Murray said, had once been member of the CFA.
An investigation was conducted by investigators on the investigation this fall into the alleged purchase of a large amount of ammunition in Kansas and Oklahoma to a bank account. The KB found that the alleged purchase did not involve fraud.
THE EXACT SIZE OF the BSU is 200 students, although officially every black student at KU is a member of the BSU. About 200 regularly attend classes.
IN ALL, Murray was somewhat disappointed with the past few months.
"We're not doing as well as we did last year and not as well as we had hoped." he said.
But once a new Afro House is built, the problem is improved. He said the racial problems at Lawrence High School have been a significantention. The problems at the school have been one of the major concern of the black parents, he said.
Murray said the BSU supported the parents' efforts at the high school and would soon begin
