Lost in the wind
To most people, a pile of leaves must work and weak of the coming winter. Two-year-old Sarah Wedman, 1324 New Hampshire, may be too young to worry about those things but she couldn't resist the chance to dig into a pile of the crunchy stuff, scoop a big handful and throw it into the wind.
Non-residents can vote by mail
KU students who want to vote in the Nov. 7 elections but who are not registered in Douglas County may contact the election officer in their county of permanent residence this week to receive an absentee ballot.
To get an absentee ballot, voters must sign an affidavit explaining why they will be
absent from their home county on election day.
The voter should allow enough time to send his affidavit to the election officer, to receive his ballot and to send the ballot back to the election officer before the noon, Nov. 6 deadline. Affidavits are available from the clerk of any Kansas county.

A member of the new "GOP Truth Squand," Congressman Larry Winn was in Lawrence Senate explaining the reasoning behind the vote.
Winn, a Republican who represents Kansas' 2nd District, said he was one of the founding members of the Truth Squad, created last week to "be sure the people understand Roy's true recording."
Winn said the squad had concentrated its efforts on the Bill-Roy-Nanney land Kassambie U.S. Senate race. The team won by 10 points in the second round.
when he was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives,he said.
The unit, also called the "Congressional Truth Squadr," was co-founded by Keth Sebelus, 5th District Republican representative, Winn said. Other Truth Squadr members include John Rhodes, House majority leader; Bob Dole, Kansas Republic senator; James Pearson, retiring Kansas Republic senator; and former president Gerald
"We don't follow Bill Rox round." Winn did at Daugaslion County Republican headquarters. "But we do have clipping stations."
Last Monday, after Congress adjourned, Sebelius issued a news release concerning Roy. Wau said that was the first action taken by the squad, which was inspired by news stories and conversations with state Republican leaders.
If he's telling the facts as they are, that's fine. If he's misrepresenting himself, that's not good."
Since adjournment, Winn said, he has travelled in Kansas and will continue to travel around the state campaign for other Republican candidates because he is running unopposed.

2 legal services members resign

Two members of the Legal Services Governing Board resigned last week over what they said was the circumvention of a legal program up of a legal services program proposal.
"I did resign, but simply because I wasn't
Mark Beam-Ward, a law student and chairman of the five-member governing board, and Laurence Rose, associate administrator of the board, resigned after KU administrators accepted a proposal written by a student who was not a member of the board.
Rose said that although he had resigned, he would continue to work on a proposal the team was working on.

DE1. SHAKELI, executive vice chancellor, accepted most all the recommends from faculty members designed by Jeff Arnold, a KU student who had on educational grant to do a legal job.
be working on without even asking about our opinion," he said.
Rose said he was upset that Mike Harper, student body president and the person who formed the governing board last spring, had sought the services of Arnold without informing the committee. Rose said he had known Arnold was making up the proposal. However, he said, he did not know that he could not be working with the committee.
Rose said he talked with Harper for more than an hour Friday.
"HARPER ASKED me to meet with other members of the board and continue working on our proposal," Rose sand. "I told him I would agree to do that, but that I would not vote on, or approve of the proposal that was approved of without first comune to us."
Rose said he thought the board would come up with a proposal to give to Harper within the next two weeks. Beam-Ward said he would cooperate. Rose said.
Beam-Ward, who refused to comment yesterday, has said he was upset about the police's decision.
Harpar said he had submitted Arnold's proposal because he thought it was necessary for the board to see what the board wanted before the board went any further.
HARPER SAID the legal services program, as approved by the KU administration, would go into effect in January, with the approval of the governing board. He said he did not understand any problem the board was having.
A student on the board, Bob Rocha, said he also was upset that the board had not been consulted before the administration made its decision.
"With Beam-Ward and Rose gone we've lost a law student and a law professor," he said, "and that has to hurt the credibility of the board."
KU receives Regents approval to use unexpected student fees
Roha said he had not resigned from the board, as he had threatened to Thursday, because he thought someone ought to help help new members who would be appointed.
Hroa said he was not aware that Harper had talked to Rose or that Rose had agreed to talk.

MANHATTAN—The University of Kansas received approval from the Kansas Board of Regents Friday to spend more than $10 million on a new building at Manhattan.
The Regents also authorized KU to seek from the state $186,175 in a supplemental budget request for the University of Kansas Medical Center because the Med Center collected less money in student fees than expected.
The recommendations must be approved by the Kansas Legislature.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said he thought the Legislature would allow KU to keep at least part of the $26.18 in unbudgeted funds.
"You have to justify the need for the funds," he said. "Last year, the Legislature took away some of the funds, but let us keep them."
KU INTENDS to sink a portion of the surplus funds in Watson Library again this year. If approved by the governor and the Legislature, KU would spend about $85,500 to purchase materials for Watson and the law library in new Green Hall.
About $40,000 of that money would be used to buy reference materials, microfilm collections and additional periodicals and newspapers, including back issues of the Wall Street Journal and the Chicago Tribune that are missing from Watson.
KU would also spend $11,600 on equipment for the schools of journalism, engineering and fine arts and the College of Liberal Arts.
About $25,000 would be spent on governmental publications that are not available to law students.
- $30,000 to buy modern electrical engineering laboratory
- $25,000 to buy 50 drawing tables in the design department and new looms for laboratory instruction in the department of occupational therapy. This money also would be used to buy two new practice pinos and to replace worn out instruments used by them.
Regents match federal grant
equipment and $11,200 for a gas chromatograph used in analyzing
water, samplers, air and waste water.
- 40,000 to purchase modern microscopes, additional computer terminals, electrometers, a seismograph and other upgraded equipment for students studying biological sciences, geology, physics and computer science.
- $ 8,000 to buy 15 additional electric typewriters for six classes in the School of Journalism.
Warren Corman, Regents facilities officer, said that Spooner was on the priority list of construction requests from the six Regents schools because if the money were not approved, KU would receive the $6,000 grant from the Historical Preservation Fund.
In ADDITION to buying equipment and library materials, KU would use $4,000 to correct a flaw in the exhaust system of the vehicle.
A health and safety hazard exists for students who use toxic chemicals in printmaking, according to a KU report submitted to the Board of Regents.
- 45,000 to improve the University Placement Bureau to meet the needs of students not served by existing professional school placement programs.
MANHATTAN—The Kansas Board of Regents gave a green light to the University of Kansas Friday to begin renovation of the campus.
KU also requested approval to spend $11,000 of the funds to improve student services. Included in this request were:
The Regents matched a federal grant of $0,000, allowing KU to begin exterior work on Spooner, including reroofing the building.
"We have to match the federal grant for KU so we don't lose the $50,000." Corman said.
DEL SHANKEL, executive vice chancellor, said the new roof was needed because when it trained, water seeped through the roof.

- $3,000 to improve services offered to KU students with disabilities. This money would be used to maintain a data and resource file and to research the accessibility of the campus for physically handicapped students.

He said that once the roof was replaced, the Museum of Anthropology would be moved into Sooner.
KU's report stressed the need for this last request, saying that these kinds of services were not only required by law, but also made available to the public.

The Regents disclosed their priority list of capital improvements for fiscal 1989 at the six Regents institutions. Listed were 24 projects for which the Regents will request funding from the Kangas Legislature.

THE REPLACEMENT cost for Carney Hall has been estimated at $4 million. The 59-year-old building has been decaying for years and should be abandoned by the end of this semester, according to a 1977 study by Finney and Turnseepe, a Topeka firm consulting.
First on the list of projects was Pittsburgh State University's request to replace Carney Hall.
The building at one time housed the biology and chemistry departments and a 1,900 seat auditorium. The auditorium still is occupied by the lab.
Next on the list were three requests from the University of Kansas Medical Center. Fifth on the list was a request for money

Congress OKs funds to plan KU center
By MARY HUFFMAN
Staff Renorter
One of the bills passed by Congress in its furry activity before adjournment last week provided planning funds for a $28 million Education Center at the University of Kansas.
The funds were included in a $6 billion appropriation but that now has to be signed into law.
Congress gave three universities $500,000 to share for architectural designs of the new continuing education centers. The students asked for $980,000 to draw up the designs.
The idea for the centers originated 13 years ago when Howard Walker, dean of continuing education at KU, began working with students. The first group helped the Kellogg Foundation was helping 12
universities build continuing education centers.
"THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT provides 4 billion a year for programs in continuing education," Walker said. "It seemed appropriate to try to get it to provide funds." The program was established for this idea by the Kellogg centers.
