Condoms will be available in KU residence hall hiving machines next semester. David Ambler, vice chairman 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, 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 halls. Amber said. The University has camped several camps during the summer.
The Office of Student Affairs has been considering including the condoms in residence hall bathrooms for years, Ambler said.
"Ne one is doing this lightly."
"Student Senate has been pressuring the administration to do it for quite a while." Schreer said. "The president's authority to do anything about it."
Ambler said the decision to make condoms available in residence halls was made informally by instructors in the last several years.
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 he discontinue distributing the condoms if the vending machines
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
Senate opposes engineering fee

The resolution also requests that the School of Engineering consult and include engineering students and Senate in making decisions affecting students.
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 Receivers 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."
Mike Schreiner, student body president, said the resolution would be sent to the Board of Regents
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
But Carl Loke, 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.
"One of things I think (senators) ought to be sure about is that they are representing the engineering profession."
Schreiner said this was not the first time a restricted fee had been imposed on students.
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 would need to be added." We have been getting this funding through private sources, which is an uncertain source."

Lacked said the fee was needed to repair and replace existing equipment, including computer
Locke said that although engineering senators passed a referendum against the fee, they did not propose other ways to guarantee the need of equipment and education in the school.
Dean sees no alternative to fee
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 rule.
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 Culliss, president of Engineering Student Council, said he opposed the fee because it would apply only to engineering students, and that it was an investment in freshmen away from the engineering field.
Shaun Nicholson, co-president of an engineering fraternity, Tau Beta Pi, said he supported the fee because he saw the need to reduce the cost of the equipment of other means to finance the improvements.
"I am one of the few students who support the fee," he said.
Pat Warren, Student Senate Executive Committee chairperson, said it was possible that in 1984-85 the Legislature would have reduced KU's budget the amount the University raised through the fees.
legislators threatened to cut KU appropriations.
Schreiner also said the proposed engineering fee did not meet the Regents requirement to explore all other possibilities of financing before imposing restricted fees.

"On the whole, we've always been relatively short," Washington said. "But we're quick and strong and extremely aggressive."
Agility, quickness and explosive power will make up for Kansas' lack of height this season. said Marian Washington, women's basketball coach.
Sandra deBruin, the only senior on the team, doubles as center and forward. DeBruin is 6-1 and her size is normal. She sits in the middle of the centers in the Big Eagle Conference.
Of the 13 players on the team, only three stand taller than 6 feet. The tallest Kansas forward is 5-foot-11 Terrilry Johnson, and center Lisa Tate is the team's tail at 6.3
Washington said there weren't too many big centers in women's basketball.
"Until we develop a larger pool of big women, only a few schools manage to get them," Washington said. "If each team has one big player, they're pretty lucky."
DoBrain tried that being the only senior on the squad had not placed any undue burden.
"There are so many people in the junior class who are showing great leadership," deBruin said. "I am a junior college transfer, so this is really only my second year. I'm really not under any pressure. The juniors are so strong."
Joining deBruin in the center position is sophomore Lisa Tate. She sat out last season as a Proposition 46 casualty. An Army veteran, she was on a 700 on the SAT and maintain a 2.0 GPA.
in high school is not eligible for the freshman season under Proposition 48.
Tate and deBruin will try to fill the void created when center Lym Page used up her eligibility last season. Page, who is 6.4 years old, and 6.7 rebounds a game last season.
Washington said that she was looking to play Tate as much as she could this season. "I see her developing into one of the better centers in the conference," Washington said. "We need to make sure she has positive experiences and is pushed physically. I see her in another year as a strong force in the conference."
Other returning forwards to the Kansas team include 5-8 junior Tony Bonham. Washington said that Bonham was one of the best leapers on the squad and that she had seen a great deal of improvement in Bonham's play.
"She's going to be very important. We can be proud that our first 2 Proposition 48 athletes are strong students here at Kansas."
"She is older and more confident and her experience will bring in some depth," she said.
Washington said that returning forward Johnson, the other Proposition 48 casualty on the team, received Jayhawk Scholar honors a few weeks ago. A student-athlete can be named a Jayhawk Scholar if he or she completes a 3.0 while maintaining 12 credit hours.
