Dissatisfied KU students run AMOK
Fed up with what they perceive as a conservative trend sweeping the campus and the country, a group of KU students have run AMOK.

the KU campus during the first week of October, is a collaboration of five editors and about two dozen contributors.
The second issue of AMOK will run in the first week of November.
The publication is designed to provide a forum for new ideas, Joe Bartos, Boulder, Colo., senior, said earlier this week.
THE IDEA resulted from a summer of mounting dissatisfaction with the conservative trend in the arts, and from original thought of Bartos said.
comes out," Frerichs said. "Essentially, thought-provocation is what the whole discussion was about this summer."
Bartos added, "Also, it was something we wanted to do."
He said the name of the paper was one of the first of about a hundred ideas the staff discussed.
"We're kind of amok," Bartos said. "We're giving this our best shot. The country is kind of amok—you can't take it too seriously."
THE STAFF asked friends and
article after Bartos asked him to contribute to the new publication.
"It sounded like a very grandiose idea," Miller said. "They were going to have all sports of diverse material."
The first issue had more contributions than there was a space to print. Bartos said. The staff made up the paper in Bartos' bedroom,床边, and the printed deadline at the Daily News of Johnson County in Oalathe.
"We'd planned a nice, leisurely layout, but we had problems
because we'd never done this before," Bartos said.
Printing the 5,000-issue run cost $110 and $23 per thousand copies. The company received the venture with advertising sales and its own contributions, he said.
ONE OF THE advertisers, John Hood, owner of J. Hood Bookseller, placed a $10 advertisement in AMOK.
"I've put ads in other little papers like this," he said. "Sometimes they go; sometimes they don't."
Commenting on the first issue, Bartos said, "I think it was good. We're aiming for excellent."
Frerichs said, "I saw a lot of problems that I wish I'd seen when we were pasting up. But I felt like the people pushed and pushed for so long."
The staff plans to run AMOK the first week of every month with contributions from anyone with something to say.
"I hope we have enough integrity to run something well-written, even if we don't agree with it." Bartos and relevance, That's basically it.
"The point is to make people think. We have respect for a personal statement, even if it does have run-on sentences."
THE STAFF asked that contributions be submitted to KU-Y, an umbrella organization for groups without offices.
"We'll see what pans out," Bartz said. "I had to totally rearrange my classes for this paper, but it's worth it."
GSP-Corbin to offer academic scholarships
Usually, students pay to live in a residence hall. Now, Gertrude S. Pearson-Corbon Hall will pay students live there and contribute to the hall.
The scholarships, $100 each, will be paid through the hall's Academic Resource Center fund and are to be brought toward books and supplies, said Length.
Four scholarships will be available for the spring semester to residents of GSP-Corbin based on their involvement in the hall and their grade point average, according to Linda Lentz, resident director of GSP-Corbin.
"We're trying to promote the academics of those who live there, who are mostly freshmen and a small percentage of sophorares," she said.
Three of the scholarships will be awarded to freshman residents, and the fourth will be awarded to a sophomore, Lenz said.
"We want to give the sophomores some incentive to stay and we want to encourage as many freshmen as possible to stay," she said.
According to Lentz, those eligible for

With Cath McMoritz, Joe Pesc, written by Paul Schrader and Martid Martin, cinematography by Michael Chapman (130 min.).
Roman Polanski's vampire film is one of the best, refreshingly funny but scary all the same, as bumbling idol vampire Harry Stuart, who hung up to hunt Slave vampires—including one who just laughs at the sight of a cross, because he's Jewish!
