Condom machines will be on campus
By Jennifer Schultz
Kansan staff writer
Condoms will be available in KU residence hall vending machines next semester. David Ambler, vice chairman for college affairs, said last night at a Student Senate meeting.
The condoms will be sold in existing machines and should be in place by the beginning of the sequester. The cost of the condoms has not been determined. Ambler said.
He said mechanical adjustments to the machines and orders for the condiments would also be before the end of this semester.
The condoms will be removed from the vending machines during the summer because mostly minors will live in the residence of their parents. The University of Kansas has several camps during the summer
The Office of Student Affairs has been considering including the conditions in residence hall facilities techniques for years, Amberil

Ambler said the decision to make condoms available in residence halls was made informally but educators in the last several weeks.
want to be sensitive to that. We also want to encourage students to act responsibly."
Mike Schreiner, student body president, said he thought that Ambler chose to make the announcement at the Senate meeting because Senate played a vocal role in the issue.
Last year Senate passed a resolution stating it wanted condoms to be distributed on campus and asked KU to study a condom vending machine program used at the University of Minnesota.
"Student Senate has been pressured the administration to do it for quite a while. 'Schrere said we were not a majority authority to do anything about it.'"
Schreiner said Ambler told him of the decision in a letter sent to him Nov 1. According to Schreiner, Ambler said in the letter that the University would have condons if the vending machines were wanalyzed or if the condoms proved to be less than root eater.
Senate opposes engineering fee
Kansan staff writer
By Jennifer Schultz
Student Senate passed a resolution last night stating that Student Senate adamantly opposes a proposal that would charge engineering students a $15-a credit-hour fee.
The resolution also requests that the School of Engineering consult and include engineering students and Senate in making decisions affecting students.
Mike Schreiner, student body president, said the resolution would be sent to the Board of Regents.
The fee was proposed by the deans of engineering at the University of Kansas, Kansas State University and Wichita State University. The proposal, designed to help schools cover the cost of equipment used in engineering courses, will be presented to the Reuens in November.
David Suroff, engineering senator, said, "If engineering equipment costs are going up, then raise our tuition gradually. But one school will always cost more to operate than others. Students should be able to choose their careers by interest and not what they can pay."
But Carl Locke, dean of engineering, said the fee was necessary to finance needed equipment.
"One of things I think (senators) ought to be sure about is that they are representing the engineering student at our university."
Locke said 40 percent of the engineering schools in the nation charged engineers a special fee to maintain, operate and replace laboratory equipment.
Schreiner said this was not the first time a restricted fee had been imposed on students.

Dean sees no alternative to fee
Although student senators are opposed to an equipment fee, the dean of engineering sees no alternative to retain the quality of the School of Engineering.
"Without a substantial increase in funding to the school, we are going to degrade the quality of education," said Carl Locke, dean of engineering. "At this point, engineering equipment is not being funded by the state. We have been working with private sources, which is an uncertain source."
Locke said the fee was needed to repair and replace existing lab equipment, including com-
Locke said that although engineering senators passed a referendum against the fee, they did not propose other ways to guarantee the use of equipment and education in the school.
David Suroff, engineering senator, said the
senators needed to defeat the fee before they began working to find a solution to benefit
Suroff said a concern was that a fee in one school could set a precedent and create a culture of peer pressure.
Locke said, "The fees may spread, but they may be needed. While students may think they are paying a lot for their tuition, it is lower than many schools."
legislators threatened to cut KU appropriations.
orian Cullin, president of Engineering Student Council, said he opposed the fee because it would apply only to engineering students, and would not help freshmen in preparing freshmen away from the engineering field
legislators on enlisted to cut KU appropriations. Pat Warren, Student Senate Executive Committee chairperson, said it was possible that in 1984-85 the Legislature would have reduced KU's budget by the amount the University raised through the fee.
Shau Nicholson, co-president of an engineering fraternity, Tau Beta Phi, said he supported the fee because he saw the need to pay more for his work. More of other means to finance the improvements.
some changes,' he said.
Schreiner also said the proposed engineering fee did not meet the Regents requirement to explore all other possibilities of financing before imposing restricted fees.
He said one of those options would be for the
quiet moves for the School of
