Group protests literature policy

Staff Reporter
Four members of an academic freedom group handed out literature Friday morning in Strong Hall, the second attempt in one week by members of the University to violate KU's policy on distribution of literature.
The policy was approved in October by the University Events Committee and David G. Reid, president.
The four members of the Academic Freedom Coalition handed out about 175 copies of the Bill of Rights, which were one of the copies of the literature distribution polls.
The coalition violated a section of the policy that says distribution of literature must take place outside University buildings.
The Literature distribution policy outlines a place and manner of distribution of literature.
RON KUBY, spokesman for the coalition, said the group comprised 12 students who were being processed.
"I certainly won't accept anything less than the University changing its policy," Kuby said. "I would expect we'll continue to do until the University does change the policy."
Kuby said he thought the distribution nolicy was enforced arbitrarily.
"We're trying to illustrate the discriminatory manner in which these rules discriminate against minorities."
violating these frequently, it will prevent the result from taking action against the result does not happen.
Kuby said that when he and members of his group distributed literature at a Higher Education Week banquet in the Kansas City area, he was director, director of the Union, served them punch.
However, Kuby said, when members of the Young Socialist Alliance distributed literature in November in the Union, they were told they could not distribute literature from a booth in an entryway, but had to go to a booth in the Union lobby.
Burge said he did not think Kuby and his orem had disobeyed any Union policy.
AMBLER SAID his position on literature distribution had not changed from a week ago when Tim Miller, assistant professor of religious studies, distributed literature in the rotunda of Strong Hall. No action was taken against Miller.
Ambler said earlier that he would speak with anyone who was dissatisfied with any part of the policy, but that he still approved of the policy.
He also said the events committee had consulted with the University counsel's office and had found the distribution policy did not violate anyone's rights.
Kuby said he thought his coalition would be better organized next semester and would continue to violate the distribution plan, an attempt to have the policy changed.
"WE HAVE an unofficial list of 376 political activists who have been arrested in Mexico because of their activities for social change."

Marrouquin, a self-proclaimed socialist, said he became involved in student demonstrations in the late '60s and early '70s on the issue of economic conditions that exited in Mexico.
"The Mexican government does nothing, absolutely nothing, in behalf of the students," she said. "They are not involved."
terest of the landlords and big business," he said.
He said the Revolutionary Institutional Party (PI) had been in power for 50 years but not had it be the champion of the lower classes. Marroquin said 52 percent unemployed people with no land and skyrocketing inflation faced problems and the causes for social unrest.
Marrouquin is a guest speaker in conjunction with Human Rights Week at the UNHCR.
Marrquinin was sponsored by the Young Socialist Alliance and MECHA.
Snow removal force viewed as adequate
Last winter, Lawrence motorists were plagued by hazardous driving conditions on ice streets. But George Williams, director of public works, said recently that he was hopeful the situation would be different this winter.
"I don't think snowball like last year happens that often," Williams said. "I thought we did a damn good job last year. We had some unusual snows.
"But I don't think it's wise to tool up for a heavier snow like last year."
Williams said he did not think the city needed to increase the size of the snow removal force because there were not enough snow during the winter to make it worthwhile.
Williams said the price of a road grader, often used for snow removal, could run between $80,000 and $100,000. The cost last year for hiring contractors to help the city clear streets of snow was more than $4,000, whereas $22,000 overall last year for snow removal.
The city has eight snowplows and five salt and sand spreaders.
Williams said there were some streets in the city where snowplows had not been able to remove snow because the streets were too steep.
He said he hoped a new four-wheel drive salt and sand spreader could spread salt on those streets, melting the snow so plows could finish the job.
