Condoms will be available in KU residence hall vending machines next semester, David Amber, vice chancellor for student 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, Ambler said.
He said mechanical adjustments to the machines and orders for the condoms would also be made before the end of this seme
The condoms will be removed from the vending machines during the summer because mostly minors will live in the residence halls. Amber said. The University's new several camps during the summer.
The Office of Student Affairs has been considering including the cordials in residence hall machines for years, Amber said.
"No one is doing this lightly,"
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 administrators in the last several weeks.
Mike Schreiner, student body president, said he thought that Amber 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 pressuring the administration to do it for quite a while. "Schreiner said, "We need a authority to do anything about it."
Schreiner said Ambler told him of the decision in a letter sent to him Nov 1. According to the letter, ambler wrote that the University would discontinue distributing the condoms if the vending machines
Senate opposes engineering fee
Student Senate passed a resolution last night stating that Student Senate adamantly opposes a proposal that would charge engineering students at $1.5-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 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."
"One of things I think (senators) ought to be sure, about is that they are representing the engineering community."
But Carl Locke, dean of engineering, said the fee was necessary to finance needed equipment.
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.
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.
“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 must be replaced at state. We have been getting this funding through private sources, which is an uncertain source.”
Locke said the fee was needed to repair and replace existing lab equipment, including com-

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 rule for 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."
Brian Cullus, president of Engineering Student Council, said he opposed the fee because it would apply only to engineering students, and he suggested giving freshmen away from the engineering field.
legislators threatened to cut KU appropriations.
Shaun Nicholson, co-president of an engineering fraternity, Tau Beta Pi, said he supported the fee because he saw the need to raise funds for other causes. 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 fee.
"I am one of the few students who support the fee," 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

"The best way to lead is by example," he said. "The reason I made the national team this summer was that I made the people around me better players. If you know what a team is like, you can figure it out. If you know what your teammates are going to do, you'll have a good team."
Kansas' second most-experienced player is another forward, Mike Madlock. Named captain of the UB! All Big Eight Bench jugged 8.7 points a game with 3.5 rebounds.
"Coach (Roy) Williams has said that we can't be the team that we want to be without Mike Maddox, and that's true," Randall said.
"Alonzo isn't the biggest guy on the team, but he's really strong." Randall said. "He's got quick hands on defense, and he's really tough to guard down low. He's worked really hard in the preseason, and I expect big things from him."
Another returning forward is Alonzo Jamison, Jamison, 6- and 225 pounds, played as a reserve in the second part of the season. Jamison chemically ineligible for the first semester.
Maddox began to practice with the team last week, missing the first three weeks with a bait.
"Mike has seen a lot of situations," Randall said. "We've been playing together for three years, and that will be valuable on a young team like this one."
Kirk Wagner, a 6-7 forward, also returns with hopes for a big year. Wagner averaged three points a game last season while playing 6 2 minutes a game.

anybody on the team, and he's turned his aggressiveness up a notch."
Maleim Nash also has turned it up a notch, Randall said. Nash averaged almost one rebound for every three minutes he plued in limited playing time last year.
Richard Scott, the only freshman in Kansas' frontcourt, averaged 21 points, 12 rebounds and six assists a game last year for Little Rock Central High School.
"He's a lot like Alonzo Jamison," Randall said. "He's big and strong, and he'll be able to score inside and out once he learns the system."
Kansas Coach Roy Williams said that while Johanning was similar in size and strength to Markkannen, it would not be fair to compare the two.
The tallest player on the team is 6-10 center David Johanning. Last season, Johanning averaged 10 points and 8 rebounds game for Hutchinson Commu-
College.
Johannung is expected to help fill the void created by the loss of Pekka Markkannen, who announced in April that he would pass up his senior year and return to Finland.
"Pekka is the second-best pivot defender I've ever seen," Williams said. "Dave plays a similar game, but he doesn't have the stamina to keep him moving. He think he can stop and use us something."
The biggest thing for Dave is to adjust to the Kansas style and system." Dhall sull u
"the preseason is for learning and for getting in shape. It just takes some time to get used to things. Once everybody understands the system, don't think you'll notice a lack of size."
Randall said Johanning was well on his way to contributing.
