Condoms will be available in KU residence hall hissing machines next semester. David Ambler, vice chairperson 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 semester. The cost of the condoms has not been determined, Amber said.
He said mechanical adjustments to the machines and orders for the condoms would also be made 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庐, Amber said. The Universities would have several camps during the summer.
The Office of Student Affairs has been considering including the condoms in residence hall facilities until such time as years, Amber said.
"No one is doing this lightly," he said. "We'll see."
want to be sensitive to that. We also want to encourage students to act responsibly "
Ambler said the decision to make condoms available in residence halls was made informally by administrators in the last seven months.
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 condonds 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 presuring the administration to do it for quite a while. "Schreer said, "The president's authority to do anything about it."
Scourner said Ambler told him of the decision in a letter sent to him Nov. 1 According to Scourner, in the letter that the University discontinue distributing the condoms if the vending machines

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 Regents 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 sur, about is that they are representing the engineering community."
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 using private, 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 them.
Suroff said a concern was that a fee in one school could set a precedent and create a bias against students.
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."
An engineering program in engineering student Council, said he opposed the fee because it would apply only to engineering students, and his class was expected to freshen men away from the engineering field.
Shaun Nicholson, co-president of an engineering fraternity, Tau Beta Phi, said he supported the fee because he saw the need to invest in training. He added that a lot of other means to finance the improvements.
legislators threatened 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

Schreiner also said the proposed engineering fee did not meet the Regents requirement to explore all other possibilities of financing before imposing restricted fees.

Bob Davis: The voice doing the play-by-play
Announcer brings his love of sports to radio
By Jodi Basgall
Special to the Kansan
A few hours before the game begins, he is relaxed as usual. Just minutes until tip-off, and his excitement and anticipation are growing.
And then it begins.
"It's showtime," he belows distinctively into the microphone. The inflection in the tone of his voice fluctuates with each moment of action.
"Swish! . . He hit it! . . The Hawks have scored!" Each word carries the familiar sound filled with excitement and intensity.
Bob Davis has been the radio announcer for the University of Kansas Jayhawks for the past seven years. He describes play-by-play action for all Kansas football and basketball games over KLWN and KLZR radios.

But the man behind the voice is still at ease.
Perhaps it is a combination of Davis' experience and his love for athletics that could be the reason for his success.
His rise to fame is ironic in many ways. Just like the inexplicable gray hairs that are beginning to canopy his carefree mind, he is also becoming a to career in broadcast are also ironic.
"I haven't played basketball since my freshman year (of high school)," he said.
Davis grew up in Topeka as a spectator of many sports.
I'lliam year (or high school)
He always enjoyed watching. But now he has an active part in all of the Kansas games.
"My dad worked for a Teopka television station," Davis said. "I had thought about it (becoming a broadcaster) since junior high."
However, Davis graduated from Wash-
bury University in 1966 with a bachelor's
degree.
"I only took six hours of broadcast classes. Washburn didn't have a broadcast class."
However, in 1968, Davis got lucky he took a job with a small-town television station.
"I was a sportscaster at KAYS-TV in '14, he said with a look of indebtedness."
He also was doing radio work while he was a sportsscaster at KAYS. He later turned strictly to radio. Davis broadcasted high school football at Fort Hays University athletic.
In 1983 and 1984, Davis saw Fort Hays State capture victories in the NAIA Men's National Championship in basketball, winning the title in 1984 in Kansas City, Mo.
In 1983, it was just as exciting to see the team capture third place over Chaminaide from Hawaii as the national championship in '84," he said.
