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校长 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 before the end of this semester.
The condenss will be removed from the vending machines during the summer because mostly miners will live in the residence of the University of Kansas has several camps during the summer.
The Office of Student Affairs has been considering including the condoms in residence hall machines for years. Amber sand

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 informally instructed in the last several weeks.
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 resourc-
station stating it wanted condi-
ons to be distributed on campus and
asked KU to study a condion

"Student Senate has been presuring the administration to do it for quite a while," Schreier said. "We're trying to 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 case that the discontinue distributing the condoms if the vending machines
Senate opposes engineering fee
Bv 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 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
but is that they are representing the engineering
staff."
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 tee, 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 must be updated." 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-
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 school.
David Suroff, engineering senator. said the
senators needed to defeat the fee before they began working to find a solution to benefit them.
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."
Suroff said a concern was that a fee in one school could set a precedent and create a rule.
Marla Cussis, president of Engineering Student Council, said he opposed the fee because it would apply only to engineering students, and students from engineering freshmen away from the engineering field.
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 to the amount the University raised through the fee.
Shaun Nicholson, co-president of an engineering fraternity, Tau Beta Pi, said he supported the fee because he saw the need to equip students with lab equipment, either means to finance the improvements.
"I am one of the few students who support the foe," 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 money for the School of

--the graduation of Pritchard, the team's starting point guard, and Jeff Gueldern, the startling shooting guard will mean the future for Jordan and senior guard Terry Brown.
Kansas' young guards must offer leadership
By Rob Wheat
Kansan sportswriter
Roy Williams, Kansas basketball coach, picked up the game ball after the Jahyws played their final game of the 1989-90 season and gave it to sophomore Adonis Jordan.
Jordan had learned many things from Pritchard, but the main thing that impressed him was Pritchard's hard work and dedication. Now, Jordan said he would become an example to the team by constantly striving to improve.
It was senior guard Kevin Pritchard's last game, and the ball had been passed on to Jordan as a symbol that it was now up to him to become a leader.
A point guard in high school, Jordan said he knew how to run a basketball offense. "You can't go through it without
Jordan is one of the seven guards who will make up a new offensive attack for the Jayhawks. It is a squad that will feature some new bouts both on and off the court.
"I think one of the biggest changes in the offense will be more minutes for me on the court," Jordan said. "I need to be a leader now. I feel pretty confident because last year you put me into some crucial situation, and I gained a lot of experience from that."
Last season, Jordan had 109 assists, more
than twice as many as his 47 turnovers. He also was chosen to play on the Big Eight Conference Select team which toured Spain last summer.
Jordan played in all 35 games last season, including both games in the NCAA postseason tournament. He scored a career-high 12 points against Iowa State in the first round of the Big Eight postseason game and was selected for the All Big Eight freshman team.
Brown, the only senior guard, said he also felt he needed to take some of the leadership responsibilities. He said that in helping to realize many of the goals of the team, he hoped he could achieve a few of his own goals.
"My own, my goal is to take (former Oklahoma guard) Mookie Blaylock's three-point shot record away from him." He would have to last year, and this time I want to get it.
Brown said another big change for him would be when he did not see Pritchard on the field.
"There will be a lot of adjustments now that Kevin is gone," Brown said. "Adonis is a very good player who is extremely quick, but his shooting ability on rebounds because Kevin was taller."
Brown said he worked this summer in
"Of course, I always have to think about the team first, but hopefully I will be able to shoot more. I think that will be the biggest change in the offense for me."
