New variety show may jolt tradition
By KIESA ASCUE Staff Reporter
A new campus variety show could crowd KUY's Rock Chalk Revue out of the limelight next year.
The University Events Committee yesterday approved plans for a new show to be sponsored by The University of Iowa.
Although BOCO will oversee the production, it will not make any money from it.
"I think it is an alternative form of Rock Chalk," John Best, senior class treasurer and Rock Chalk's business manager this year, said. "We do a lot of do is open up Rock Chalk to more living groups."
"What we're trying to do is get University-wide charity drive, and make it possible for every living group to be involved without a drain," said Kathy Gibbons, senior class secretary.
Living groups will work out the specifics of the show.
BOCC WILL poll students on campus this week to determine what type of format and theme is most popular. It also has considered sponsoring a contest to name its similar to the one sponsored by its kit's name.
When students elect class officers this spring, they will find five charities listed on the ballots. The most popular charity will receive 50 percent of the profits from the new variety show.
Forty percent of the profits will reimburse people who spend time and money on the show. The rest of the money will start a fund to support them in the future." Peter Sloan, show organizer, said.
Mark McClanahan, former Interfraternity Council president, said giving the 40 percent to
the participants was a "great idea." Although he could not predict how the houses would react to the new show, he said the idea would help BOCO avoid some of the criticism given to KU-Y.
KUY has sponsored Rock Chalk Revue for 32 years. Recently, participation has flagged because of the cost of the costumes and sets
Living groups spend an average of $1,800 on meals for each group and about one percent of their budget to the groups to help cut costs.
KU-Y uses the Rock Chalk Revive as a fundraiser, which is why it keeps 90 percent of the show's revenues. In return, the group provides a variety of student services.
"KU-Y is drastically different from other student groups on campus," said Keenan Gentry, KU-Y coordinator. "We take a stand on issues and issue issues, minority issues that have to be resolved."
THE MULTI-FACETED organization is an open resource center for any student. Their films, forums and debates on current issues are open to students and the community.
`Maybe on the surface it appears not to be an attempt to divert revenge from KU-Y but it could
"Rock Chalk won't die, it'll just be different," Gentry said.
However, the new variety show will co-exist with the old one, he said.
Margaret Kremer, co-director of the skirt that I helped develop the need that the new show could detract from the fashion.
"Starting something new like that would be fighting the tradition that's been here for so many years," she said. "But it is really awful." She added, all that money and get almost nothing in return.
The new show will be presented in Hoch Auditorium on Feb. 17, 18 and 19.

Officials may widen KU police beat
Staff Reporter
By BECKY ROBERTS
Lawrence law enforcement officials are supporting a bill that would broaden the jurisdiction of campus police at Regents universities.
The bill, still under consideration in the Kansas Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee, would provide campus police with the authority to perform police duties on all property owned by a university or any group affiliated with a university.
Campus police also would be able to investigate and arrest people who violated state, county or city laws anywhere in the county in which the university was located.
currently, state laws say that campus police have jurisdiction only on university-owned property. They do not have jurisdiction on any other campus-affiliated property such as fraternities, sororities or athletic corporation property.
Technically, if police were needed at a KU facility to sorcery, Lawrence city police would not be there.
"It's a silly barrier," Mike Malone, Douglas county police officer, told Tuesdays. "They were just hurting their jurisprudence."
"Now, off campus, they (campus police) only have citizen arrest power.
"It makes things more complicated."
HOWEVER, THE city and KU police have worked out an agreement to overcome the difficulties that current state laws have caused for the police, Jim Denney, director of KU police,
The city manager has given KU police a police commission that allows them to act off campus in assisting city police and following investigations.
Mike Wilden, assistant city manager, said the loss of a police last fall gave KU police this authority.
Denney said this special police commission had helped clarify one of the biggest problems in our district.
"There's a problem with the border," he said.
KU POLICE face problems like trying to locate all kinds of Iowa or 19th streets in their jurisdiction.
The uneven borders of the campus extend roughly from Iowa Street to 19th and Naiismith streets, behind Walkins Hospital to Sunflower Road, behind the chancellor's residence, to South University Boulevard, behind the Kansas University to the south side of 11th Street back up to West Campus Road.
KU police also patrol West Campus, GSP-Corbin Hall and eight plots of land owned by the Kansas University Endowment Association.
"It's a little rough to expect an officer to stop and find the line where his jurisdiction stops."
"If there's a problem on the north side of the stadium, we can't help. Or if there is a problem at home, we can't help."
The special police commission gives KU police the authority within the city limits to enforce traffic ordinances, investigate traffic accidents, direct the safe movement of traffic, investigate crimes, make arrests and conduct searches when a crime originates on campus.

"It's not going to change what we do, and it removes the city from liability," Denney said.

Malone said the bill would aid in campus investigations that had to be followed off campus.
KU lecturer accused of discrediting Watson
By STEVE BLAIR
Staff Reporter
Lawrence City Commissioner Barkley Clark said last night that Tim Miller, a KU lecturer in religious studies, was a leader in an effort to discredit City Manager Buford
"Hogwash." Miller said.
"Tim is certainly the main one," he said.
"Trousch." Miller said.
Miller probably arranged for Donald Brownstein, KU associate professor of philosophy, to make a public statement at the commission meeting Tuesday night alleging that Watson had made an anti-Semitic speech, said Clark, who is also a KU law professor.
Watson has said he did not make any such remark.
"It certainly wouldn't surprise me," Clark said. "He's been involved in almost every anti-Buford thing. I think he's gone off the deep end."
But Miller disagreed and said, "I think he's in favor of covering things up and I'm in favor of opening up what the people have the right to know. Barkley Clark four years ago was doing the same thing to Mark Kaplan (now president of the East Lawrence Improvement
Association) and reducing it all to personalities and ducking the issue."
Miller agreed and said, "I'm not a puppet master."
Clark said Miller would probably continue to arrange allegations concerning Watson.
"Tim Miller is ever present in these things," he said.
Miller agreed that there would probably be more allegations about Watson, but disagreed with others.
"I suspect that if these allegations become publicly known, more allegations will surface from other people," Miller said. "Watson's son, my brother, you know." That's time to do a lot of stuff.
Brownstein said Clark was mistaken in the thinking that Miller had arranged for him to reveal the allegation of an anti-Semitic remark.
"Tim Miller did not instigate me to do anything" he said.
At Tuesday's commission meeting Brownstein revealed that he had a copy of a document that he said Commissioner Nancy Shontz distributed to other city commissioners in February for use in an evaluation of Watson's job performance.

New fund to award women who excel in KU athletics

idea of how much money they will have before they can make arrangements for awards. She said that the fund would be an ongoing effort.
Women's sports at the University of Kansas never have had consistently strong backing from any group, but they may have found themselves to be eligible to elect Marte Dalton, assistant professor of business.
Mauriton said she saw a need to start a women's Athletic Fund to provide awards for outdoor activities.
"It's not right or wrong," Mal-Dalton said. "We have had time to work up clubs. The club has always had the best team."
Mai-Dalton said she had always seen that in women and women's sports were handled differently.
Her goal is to raise a minimum of $5,000 by April 30, because the coaches need to have an
MAI-DALTON SAID she set up an account at Capitol Federal Savings and Loan Association, 1046 Vermont St., and had asked Marian Washington, women's basketball coach, to be a corssor so she would not have sole responsibility for the account.

asking for contributions. As of yesterday, she
was not able to contribute.
After the basketball season last year, Mai-Dalton said she held a short-term fund-raiser and earned $800 in one week, with $200 of it going to each of the women's coaches.
This $300 came from several different sources. Some companies in Lawrence that she had worked with contributed, including Quaker Oats
