THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOL. 101, NO. 54 THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS ANSAS STATE HISTORICAL CENTER PEKEA, KS 66412 ADVERTISING: 864-4358 (0) THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1990 NEWS:864-4810 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 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, Amblen said. He said mechanical adjustments to the machines and orders for the cordions would also be before the end of this semester. The condensors will be removed from the vending machines during the summer because mostly minors will live in the residence halls. Amber said. The University offers small campers during the summer. The Office of Student Affairs has been considering including the condoms in residence hall rooms and providing them 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 by instructors in the last several 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 condoms to be distributed on campus and asked KU to study a condon vending machine program used at the University of Minnesota "Student Senate has been presuring the administration to do it for quite a while. "Scheirer said, "I don't want authority to do anything about it." Scheerlin said Ambler told him of the decision in a letter sent to him Nov 1. According to Scheerlin, Ambler said in the letter that he 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 a $15-acredit-hour fee. Kansan staff writer By Jennifer Schultz 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. *One of things I think (senators) ought to be sure about is that they are representing the engineering industry.* 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. 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. By Amy Zamierowski Kansan staff writer Dean sees no alternative to fee "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 has been getting this funding through private sources, which is an uncertain source." 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. Lacke said the fee was needed to repair and replace existing lab equipment, including corn David Suroff, engineering senator. said the Locke said that although engineering senators passed a referendum against the fee, they did not propose other ways to guarantee the quality of equipment and education in the legislators threatened to cut KU appropriations. senators needed to defeat the fee before they began working to find a solution to benefit Locks use. "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." Surroff said a concern was that a fee in one school could be a present and create a distraction. Brian Cullus, president of Engineering Student Council, said he opposed the fee because it would apply only to engineering students, and it was more cost-effective for freshmen 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 train students in math and computer science or other means to finance the improvements. 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 "I am one of the few students who support the fec." he said. 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. Review Continued from p. 10 Early season highlights for Kansas and nationally ranked Arkansas and nationally ranked Arkansas he said one of those options would be for the it money for the School of "Our schedule was very strong last year," Washington said. "We were the only team to beat Arkansas at their place. It was a tremendous win for us. It should have helped us get national recognition, but we didn't realize how good they really were." It was a season in which Washington picked up her 300th career coaching victory. It was also a year of ups and downs for washington's team during the big Eight Conference. The Jayhaws started the conference season 3-1 before heading to Iowa State on Jan. 24. Kansas lost to the Cyclones 79-72 in games against Kansas State and Colorado Following that three game skid, Kansas came back with a five game winning record. Lady 'Hawks After splitting its last two regular season contests, Kansas finished in a tie for fourth in the conference. They headed into the Big Eight postseason tournament to play Oklahoma State, the team that had sent them to the College round of the previous year's tournament. Despite not getting a single point from Braddy, Kansas held tough against Oklahoma State. But again it was the Cowboys against the Jajua wks home early, winning 66-45. "That was a tough game to lose," said Washington. "But it is important for the young team to keep it in perspective. We had a drastic improvement in the team last year, primarily the younger players. That's what is important now." Continued from p. 11b last season but has been given full permission to return in full force, Washington said. "I think her teammates are real excited to have her play," Washington said. "A lot of them never have (see her play). We're always playing by the time conference play rolls around." Danielle Shareef, 5-9 junior, will also be returning to the forward position. Shareef was selected to play on the Big Eight Conference team that played in Czechoslovak during the summer. Shareef said the team helped her a tougher and more physical player. "It is difficult to try to get them to be physical and aggressive right out of high school." Washington said. "We need a lot of education." That aggression is not bad, but good. Shareef said that her experience last summer would carry over to the rest of the team. "I feel the positive energy from that experience helped me, and I will give it back to the team," Shareef said. "It will help us work harder as a team." ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PIZZA! Although the Kansas team is a young one, it has made a lot of progress. Washington Misti Chennault, 6-1 sophomore, is the leading returner scored for the Jayhawks, averaging 10 points a game. Washington said she expected Chennault to help make up for the loss of last year's top two scorers, Lisa Bradby and Shannon Bloxon. Braddy scored 42 points and Bloxon (112 ppt) is now playing for Kansas City Community College. "Our junior class has had good playing experience. We're a lot further ahead than us." 842-1212 NO COUPON SPECIALS Everyday Two-Fers Primetime Special Everyday Two-Fers Primetime Specials 2*Pizzas 3*Pizzas 2*Toppings 1*Topping 2*Cokes 4*Cokes $8.00 $10.00 1•Topping $25.00 CARRY-OUT SPECIAL 1•Pizza $3.50 1•Topping 1•Coke DELIVERY BEGINS AT 11am DAILY 1601 W.23RD Southern Hills Center 11am----M-Th----2am 11am----Fri-Sat----3am 11am----Sun----1am MONDAY BURGER BREW 1.95 5-10 p.m. HAPPY HOUR draw beer 'til 10 p.m. 14 beers on tap!
