Hope for would-be Travoltas
Dance club creates cultural expression
By Jennifer Reynolds
Kansan staff writer
For all those people who practice swearing and swaying in front of the bowels, they can be punished.
The club meets from 7 to 9 p.m. on Sundays in 240 Robinson.
The Expressional Dance Club will teach any Fred Astaire or Ginger Rogers want-to-bes the moves and the motions of dances from the flamenco to ballroom to popular disco.
"We really try to present dance as ethnic and social events," said Brenda Hotard, faculty adviser for the club.
Each week the class focuses on a different style of dance. The classes are taught by KU faculty, faculty from surrounding schools and professional dancers from the Lawrence area.
"We offer a broad overview of different dance styles, but each class is really a microcosm of each style," she said.

We offer a broad overview of different dance styles, but each class is really a microcosm of each style. '
Brenda Hotard adviser for the Dance Club
The dances offered are flamenco, East Indian, Latin American, ballroom, tap, modern, ballet, popular dance, theater dance, jungling.
"You get a rich flavor of the particular style of dance," Hotard said.
The class is open to the community and requires no previous dance training. Klara McGaugh, Lawrence, junior, joins the class, and said it was a good way to receive lessons from professional teachers.
McGaugh specializes in ballroom dancing and will help teach one of the ballroom sessions.
"Karla will lead the Latin American ballroom," Hotard said. "That's fun things like the Cha Cha Cha and the Rhumba."
Other members of the club also teach classes.
"One of the members, who will teach the juggling class, has been invited to Europe to perform her juggling skills." Hotard said.
A few weeks ago, the club featured a master class on flamenco dancing. The class was at the Lawrence Lawrence vormont streets, instead of Bohannan.
"Flamenco requires character shoes," Hotard said. "They (Robinson officials) wouldn't let us use the shoes on their floor because it would get ruined."
At the end of each class, the teachers perform the dance so the students can see the professional version.
"Not only do you learn the dance," Hotard said. "You get to see how the professionals do it and how it should look."
There is a fee of $10 a semester for the class, but $3 payments can be made for each class.
Preacher uses bible as weapon at KU
By Lisa Moss Kansan staff writer
A preacher who has visited more than 218 universities in 42 states and claims to have "saved" more than 300 people came to the University of Kansas on Friday to point out the need for God in students' lives.

Gilles, in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall, preaches of students' immoral lives and tells them he's going to shoot them with his bikh
Jim Gilles of Evanville, Ind., stood in front of Stauffer FIalt Hall and spoke to students who stopped by.
"I just happen to be a card-carrying member of the Moral Majority." Gilles shouted while showing his card to the audience.
Some students shouted in response that they had American Express or Visa credit cards.
Gilles referred to two male students with long hair as "rebels without a cause."
He read passages from his Bible and said he was a saint.
At one point, after Gilles said Catholics were cannibals, a few students confronted Gilles and told him to take back the statement. When he refused, the students tried to block his movements. Another student threw paper and ice at him.
When students made comments that offended him, he pointed at them with his Bible and said, "I am going to shoot you with my Bible."
Bonnie Gilles, his wife, said that his ultimate goal was to get people to think about what they were doing with their lives.
But Bonnie Gilles said the har-
Some in the crowd responded to the harrassing students by yelling, "Let him speak," and "You guys grow up."
"They are not mocking Jim, they're mocking the Lord because he is preaching God's word," she said.
Shari Greenfield, Overland Park freshman, said it was obvious the preacher's audience thought he was crazy.
"It is so ridiculous that one
person can grab the attention of all these spectators." she said.
Rhonda Stoker, a friend of Giles, went to the University of Missouri-Kansas City with him to watch him preach Thursday.
"There was a girl that accepted Christ after listening to him," Stoker said.
mons were angry because he preached about the sins in the students' lives.
Kristen Hammond, Prairie Hills junior, approached Gilles and asked him if he would tell the person what the love of Christ is. I put her in place.
She said some of the students who were angry about Gilles' ser-
Gilles responded by asking her if she was in a sorority. He condemned fraternities and sororities
"I think he is completely mustorted in his direction with God," Hammond said. "He is misrepresenting what Christians on this campus stand for. God has died for our sins, and all he is preaching is condemnation."
Gilles' wife said his work was fruitful because he caused people to think about who they were.
Ground broken for humanity
Kansan staff writer
By Lisa Mosa
LeAnna Richter, 7, and her father, Gerald, broke ground yesterday at the site of their home that will be occupied by Frances "Habitat- for Humanity, Inc."
Mary Richter shed tears as members of the community who attended the ceremony congratulated her.
The Rev. Lee Barbee of the Victory
Revue. Lee Barbee, led the
giving of the Press Room.
"This is the beginning." she said.
This is when the house really starts up.
The Richter family - Gerald, Mary, LeAnna and Melissa, 3 — was selected last month as buyers of the first Habitat house in Lawrence.
The house, built by volunteer labor and with donated materials, will be
sold to the family with no interest. The family will make payments during a fixed time period. That money can be awarded building new Habitat houses.
Lawrence Habitat volunteers might start building the house in seven to 10 days, said John Ginger-bishop, president of Lawrence Habitat.
Mayor Bob Schumm, addressing approximately 60 people who attended the ceremony, said Habitat was important to the city.
He said the city commission supported the endeavor, and he thanked supporters of the project.
"This speaks very well for our community." Schumm said.
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-
Lawrence, attended the ceremony.
Rep. Jim Slattery and Sen. Nancy Landon Kassbaum were invited to
the ceremony but were unable to attend
Kassebaum wrote a letter to John Gingerich.
She wrote that the strength of the community rested on its citizenry.
Sharon Lappin, Gladstone, Mo., architecture student, is drawing the final plans for the house. She had the help of a teacher to design a habitat for a psychology class.
Lappin was given sketches from Glenn Hildebrand, a retired Lawrence builder.
"I just thought I would donate my time," Hildbrand said.
Hildebrand and Kenneth Rowen, a retired engineer, have been named co-construction managers of the project.
Gingerich said finalizing the group's income was going to be the real problem, not finding volunteers.
Funds may be taken from research center Schools will compete for federal money
Haskell's academic probation rises
By Derek Schmidt Kansan staff writer
Federal financing that was ear-marked for a new KU research center could go to other universities, a U.S. Senate staff member said Friday.
average, Gibbs-Simpson said. After a second semester in college, students must maintain a 1.75 cumulative and semester GPA. By the third semester, a student must maintain a 2.0 cumulative and semester GPA.
Gibbs-Simpson said that because Haskell was a federally-funded institution, some students did not have pressure to achieve academically because they could stay at Haskell for an indefinite period of time.
Last year, 27 percent of continuing students were on academic probation, compared to 36 percent of continuing students this year. she said.

Fall 1989 enrollment figures at Haskell Indian Junior College indicate an increase in the number of continuing students on academic probation.
A Senate-House conference committee on Thursday changed the financing method for the proposed KU bioscience center, which would be built on West Campus.
Becky White特蕾，mother of a Haskell sophomore，said that many students came to Haskell from their high school.
Enrollment data was distributed Thursday at a meeting of the Haskell Board of Regents, made up of members from 12 geographical areas of the United States. The board advises Haskell on programs, budget and policy.

The figures show that 125 out of 341 continuing students are on academic probation this semester, said Jean Gibbs-Simpson, educational technician for the admissions and records office at Haskell.
To remain in good standing after the first semester at Haskell, a student must receive a 1.5 grade point
On Friday, the Haskell Board of Regents discussed the possibility of developing a summer school program.
The conference committee resolved differences between Senate and House versions of the fiscal year 1990 appropriations bill for the Department of Labor, Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Education. The Senate version contained $5.2 million for the KU project, but the House version had no money for it.
all these schools to compete for," the staff member said.
A staff member for Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole said that several universities had similar "pet projects" in the Senate version of the bill.
The committee eliminated the financing for such specific projects and instead appropriated about $15 million for construction of research facilities to the National Institutes of Health. To get the financing, the committee must compete for grants from the NIH, the staff member said.
Competing for construction grants was common 15 or 20 years ago when more federal funds were available, she said, but it had not been done recently.
"It's going to be a pot of money for
Frances Horowitz, KU vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service, said yesterday that she had heard that the funds no longer were specifically for the University of Kansas.
Documents outlining the details of the competition will reach KU this week, Horowitz said.
"We won't know what the competition method is going to be until we see the language of the conference report," she said.
The proposed bioscience center would be an addition to the Higuchi Bioscience Center on West Campus. It would provide space for research on drug design and genetics.
Other states with universities competing for the funds are Maine, New Mexico, Montana, Mississippi, Georgia and Colorado, the Dole staff member said.
The appropriations bill, as amended by the conference committee, still must be passed by both houses and signed by President Bush. No further changes in the construction financing are expected.
