The discussion was sometimes heated and tempers were short during deliberations for some organizations as the length of the meetings began to take effect.
After four and a half hours last night—the sixth night of supplemental budget hearings—the Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee reviews $20,143 in money for 39 student organizations.
The committee cut a total of $17,901.27 in the final two nights of deliberations, including all of the $530 requested by the Iranian Student Association.
Even though the consensus of the committee was to cut funding for the Iranian Student Abroad Program, a majority
David Zimmerman, off-campus student

"In my opinion, they can't hold open and well publicled elections if their announcements are not accurate."
BOT OTHER COMMITTEE members took a more hard-line view toward the ISA.
"They probably would be run off the campus if students knew what they were printing." said Bren Abbott, student body vice president. "I know for a fact that some of their飞翔 have 'Death to American Imperialism' written on them."
Tom Berger, graduate student senator, said he was upset because when the ISA had presented its budget, it did not mention that it intended to spend part of its budget on repairs to the Kansas

supplemental funds, but Heape pointed out that last spring the Chinese Student Association was allocated $534 on the stipulation that it share funds with the Formosan Club.
Berger objected to putting the two organizations together if they did not want to be involved.
"The students do not look on themselves as Chinese students." Pyles said. "I cannot make the decision that I think the Formosan Club is not to be included under the Chinese students."
Heap insisted that the Formosan Club not be unded because he saw no unique function it possessed.
I cannot ind and any affirmative reason why we should fund them," Heape said. "We are funding these people simply because they never give up."

2 Iranian suspects facing deportation
Staff Reporter
Two Iranian men who face deportation procedures Oct. 21 will not apply for political asylum, according to their lawyer.
"There's no need for it," their attorney, Henri J. Watson of Kansas City, mays said yesterday.
George Gell, Kansas City district director of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, said that even if an application for political citizenship would not delay the deportation procedures.
"There's no way I can think of that they can delay it." Geil said. "We feel they are deportable, and as far as I know, we will go forward with the hearing."
Police alleged that the men were part of a pro-Khominei group that stormed a meeting of anti-Khominei supporters, breaking glass items and stabbing one student.
KU police arrested Amir Zerkgoo, 24,223 Pine Cone Drive, and Siazasah Khagavi, 26,160 Haskell Ave, Friday in connection with a fight that broke out Sept. 12 at the Kansas Union.
The two men were arrested and jailed on charges of disorderly conduct and battery.
Aside from the charges, Zekiroo and Khagavi face a deportation hearing on a charge that the company is facing.
Gell said a foreign student must be enrolled in 12 credit hours at accredited university to receive his degree.
After Zekrogo and Khagavi were released from the Douglas County jail on Tuesday after a judge approved the arrest.
the INS transferred them to a Kansas City, Kan,
ail and set a $1,100 BON on each of them.
The INS bond was reduced early morning by an INS special inquiry judge during a custody redemption hearing. The defendants' wives redemitted the Krogoo's bond was $750 and Khagavay was $1,000.
Gell said the INS would take no further action until the deportation hearing. However, Gell expects the men to attend next Monday's preliminary hearing in Douglas County District Court on the charges of disorderly conduct and battery.
"I rather anticipate that they show up because of the large amount of money they put out." Gell
Although police previously had two names for Khagavi, there is no longer any doubt as to the identity of either man, according to Gell. He said that he would never be the men's identities by using records and pictures.
"We had pictures from the time when Iranian students were required to register with the government," Geil said. "We know who we are talking about."
Although Gell said the deportation hearing would not be delayed, the Iranians' lawyer said he planned to ask for a continuance on the Douglas County charges.
Watson said that he thought the pictures police took of several iranians, including the defendants, on a soccer field were taken illegally. The officers later were taken to witnesses of the elite clash.
Kansas Union damages still unpaid weeks later

ISA is cutting the flow of money to students who
do not support its government, the ISA president
said yesterday.
After nearly three weeks, the Iranian Student Association still has not paid $100 for damages that occurred during a fight in the Kansas Union.
"Most of the young students are in tight money situations," Mansour Mojadaj, president, said. "They (irian officials) are identifying them, they are against them, and then they cut their money."
The ISA was fined $100 for damages that occurred Sept. 12 during a fire with supporters of a union.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student afairs, said that he had not paid its fine, but he said that it was in the interest of him.
"We have not said that if you don't pay by a certain date you'll lost your registration," he said. "They just have to pay to use the facilities."
The ISA cannot schedule meetings in the Union
or in University buildings until it pays the $100 or until it makes arrangements to do so, Ambler said.
"This doesn't prohibit the ISA from handing out literature or having a table in front of the Union or Wesco or using the information booth on Javakh Boulevard," he said.
There is no time limit on payment of the damages, Ambler said.
"The pressure point will be that if they want to had a meeting, they will get it resolved, he said.
Mojadaj said the ISA had not made any decisions about payment.
"We're undecided how to pay it," he said. "I don't know any way right now."
Besides problems with their government, Mojadad said, most of the members are busy with school and exams and haven't had time to reach a decision.
"We're going to arrange somehow to pay," he said.
Mojadaj said the money would probably come out of their own pockets.
Frank Burge, director of the Union, said he was not married about collecting the money.
"They seem to be acting responsibly," he said.
October a stargazer's delight as stars, moon shine brightly

Today is the first day of October, a great month to take a date to some dark, romantic hillside and point out some spectacular astronomical events.
MARS WILL BE the morning star only for the first half of the month, Shawl said. It shines, appropriately, with a red light. Red has long been associated with the good of war and Mars was the Roman god of war.
Start at sunset today by pointing out Venus, the evening star, which will be the brightest "star" in the sky and one of the first to appear. It will appear just south of the moon this month, Stephen Shaw, associate professor of physics and astronomy, said Tuesday.
Shawl said that with the aid of a star map, stargazers would be able to point out the fall constellations—Pegasus, Cygnus, Andromeda, Cassioneia and Cetus.
The constellations shining prominently this month are not signs of the zodiac, the signs that astrologers use to cast horoscopes. However, people whose birthdays are in October were born under either the sign of Libra or the sign of Scorpio.
Libras are those people born between Sept. 23 and Oct. 22. They are ruled by the planet Venus, so their fate is uncertain.
cording to astrologers, Libras like balance and
calm, or dalke conflict, disagreement
and sudden change.
SCORPIONS ARE those people born between Oct. 23 and Nov. 22. They are ruled by the planet Mars. According to astrologers, they are aggressive and are stimulated by conflict.
Orion was another famous hunter in Roman mythology. A meteor shower called the Orionids will appear Oct. 23, Shawl said. These meteors appear in the sky and seem to fall from the constellation Orion.
The moon has long been associated in myth with hunters. The Roman moon goddess, Diana, was also the goddess of the hunt and guardian of beasts. She used the crescent moon as her bow.
Binoculars may help you and your date see the meteors better, but they are visible to the naked eye. They will be most easily seen at 1 a.m. and you care to count them, about 25 an hour will fall.
All these meteors will be traveling faster than average, about 26 miles per second. They are chunks of metal or stone that enter the Earth's atmosphere from space. Friction from the

Litter a problem in library lounge
By CYNTHIA HRENCHIR Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
The popularity of Watson Library's new student lounge has backfired, adding to what some employees believe is a growing cleaning problem.
"It it a pit out there," said Kendall Simmons, stacks supervisor. "When they opened the public lounge, all these gum and candy wrappers were all over."
Simmons said she thought the problem was growing, particularly in the stacks.
"sent a memo to all my workers," she said, "telling them that when they walk through stacks to clean up. It's not their job, but something to be done."
Clifford Haka, circulation librarian, agreed, and added that with most of the second and fourth floors closed off, only 65 percent of the building was supervised by the housekeeping staff, and they were just not keeping it clean.
Clifford Powers, the custodian for Watson during the day, began working at the library 10 months ago. He is responsible for the cleanliness around stacks.
"It wasn't like this when I started," Powers said. "Then, it was one bag of trash a day. Now usually I have three good-sized bags and they are pretty heavy."
One student lounge is on the first floor level along with the periodicals section. Tables and chairs fill the samil area, and large blocks covered with shag carpet line the walls. Students can use the lounge to smoke and buy drinks or food from three vending machines.
The area has been open about a month, Haka said.
Haka said that if use of the vending
machines were great enough, more could be brought in, which might intensify the problem.
The idea for the lounge was developed when the committee formed in 1976 to study the University library system presented its
"But we can't allow long-term use if abuse of the system results," he said. "It's bad for the staff, bad for people using the library and not good when visitors to the library come and see trash all over a newly renovated building."
The committee, consisting of faculty, staff, and students, reported that renovation was necessary for Watson. At that time, students could smoke in the library where they could smoke and eat.

dean of libraries.
"We did it in response to student desire for a facility in the library with food and drink," Ranz said.
