Anti-nuke groups camp out
Four anti-nuclear groups are camping out in front of Watson Library this week to commemorate the third anniversary of the Three Mile Island mishap and to bring attention to their groups and causes, Dean Goering, member of the Kansas Natural Guard, said yesterday.
The KNG has been joined by the Students' Anti-Nuclear Alliance, the Ku NUcal Division Investment Association and the University of Wisconsin day camp that started yesterday.
Upping said the campout was organized to inform people about the nuclear issue and to recruit members
for the KNG, especially for a demonstration this weekend in Burlington, Kan.
Burlington is near the Wolf Creek Nuclear Power Plant construction site.
"We're trying to make people aware that there is a plant just 70 miles from here with faulty construction," Goering said.
There will be a rally and an energy fair this Saturday in Burlington. On Sunday the KNG will march from its campsite at John Redmond Reservoir to the gates of the Wolf Creek Plant, Goering said.
At the Wolf Creek gates, he said,
protesters will release balloons and attempt to plant cottonwood trees on the plant site.
Goering said training sessions for the weekend demonstration would be at the camp site at 5:30 p.m. today and tomorrow.
At 12:30 p.m. today the KU Nuclear Divestment Association will hold a rally at the camp site.
KUNDA is asking the Kansas University Endowment Association to divest its funds in utility companies which operate nuclear plants.
Senate hears requests, ponders cuts
By ANN LOWRY Staff Reporter
The Student Senate budget subcommittee last night contributed fiscal year 1983 hearings by listening to requests from nine student groups and deliberating over some preliminary cuts.
Requests during the second of six evenings of bearings totaled more than $3,300. The Senate has about $53,000 to allocate.
In preliminary cuts, the committee parsed down requests from last night's hearings. Those included cutting the Amateur Radio Club to $1,520 from $1,489 and cutting the KU Solar Energy Club to $1,154 from $1,289 and the KU Solar Energy Club to $690 from $800.
The committee will conduct final deliberations April 2, then present its recommendations to the entire Senate the following week.

The Friends of Headquarters, which received $11,839 from the Senate last year, asked for $13,422 to continue providing crisis counseling and information to KU students and Lawrence residents.
That sum accounts for about one third of Headquarters' total budget, which is close to the amount Senate has funded them in the past.
The other group asking for a large sum, the Consumer Affairs Association, requested $14,121. Last year it received $12,784.
Although the association receives funding from donations and city and county revenue sharing, it lost funding from CETA this year.
Its total budget fell from $45,000 to $29,000 and the office staff slimmed from four workers to one.
"The only reason we haven't folded
was because I was willing to stick it out," Clyde Chapman, director, said.
The other groups requesting funds from the Senate were:
- The Microbiology Society, which asked for $175 to print a newsletter.
- The Taiwanese Student Association, which asked for $131 for printing and the users fee for a meeting place.
- Le Carcle Francais, which asked for $20 for film rental, travel to museums, postage and advertising.
- The Tau Sigma Dance Ensemble, which requested $2,844 for costumes, records, announcements and clinicians fees.
- Students Concerned with Disabilities, which asked for $404 to conduct forums and discussions and send out newsletters.
- Dialogues on East-West Affairs, which requested $1,364 for duplicating advertising and film rental.

Group debates world issues
The goal of the United Nations Association-Student Organization is to develop a greater awareness of international issues among the student body, according to Laurent Lepez, Paris graduate student and one of the committee members of the UNA-SO.
"Discussing international problems in an open forum and looking at the arena from a multilateral viewpoint helps one to understand the complexity of international relations," Lepez said recently.
O'Reilly said, "The idea is simply to promote a better sense of international understanding and to educate the academic community on international issues specifically within the perspective of the U.N."
The focus of UNA-SO is global, and it works within the framework of the U.N. Lenez said.
UNA-SO grew out of the United Nations Association last semester as an informal student organization when Lepez, along with Andy Chavez and Karen Freshman, and Erik Tollefon, Boston graduate student, decided that they needed a forum to air views on some of the world's im- plicable problems. They also wanted to supplement the UNA's activities.

THE UNA-SO members have taken steps toward organizing
conferences to give both the speakers and the audience a chance to discuss issues such as world war II, the Vietnam War, in the Third World and terrorism.
Issues that may be discussed at the next conference include Mexico's regulation and control of the multinationals, its policy of non-intervention in other countries, and its response to other Latin American countries.
CLIFFORD KETZEL, professor of political science, has helped the committee members in inviting outside speakers. He is an active member of UNA, the only chapter of the National model—a mock session of the U.N. General Assembly—at the university and school level in Lawrence.
UNA-SO's next conference will be April 7. Its topic will be, "Is Mexico a challenge to U.S. leadership in Latin America?"
Sanders is an expert on Mexico, who works for AUFS, which is a group of Midwestern universities financed by a consortium to do field research in different countries. The report presents reports on these issues to each of the member universities. KU is a member of AUFS.

"It is important to bring significant questions in front of a greater number of people." The last two meetings of FDNY
The last two meetings of UNA-SO have been successful, according to Ketel.
"The first one had a huge audience and the second one had about 50 people."
The committee members recently organized a conference on "Terrorism: Can this phenomenon be curbed?" The speakers were Ann Cox, the professor of political science, and John Murphy, professor of law.
The speakers and the audience tried to arrive at a viable definition of terrorism, and discussed the role of N.A. has played in the past to limit it.
TERRORISM CAN be looked at in three different ways, according to Murphy: as private acts of individual terrorism, as state or regime terrorism, or as armed conflict.
Willner said that terrorist activity was a low-cost surrogate for war, and that it furthered political goals through dissident activities.

Individual terrorism can be curbed depending on the situation and the kind of violence, and it can be tracked down for prosecution, Murphy said.
