Committee discusses areas to be studied
The Traffic and Safety Committee met yesterday to discuss its agenda for the 1990-91 academic year. The Committee September meeting had canceled.
Although KU on Wheels bus drivers now stop in front of Marvin Hall, committee members will consult with the executive vice chancellor's office to decide whether should become permanent, said committee chairperson Tom Mulnazia.
The committee also decided to have traffic engineering students take traffic counts at the intersection of Naismith Drive and Crescent Road and the intersection of Irving Hill and Engel roads, Mulinazzi said.
The safety of pedestrians using the crosswalks west of Murphy Hall and between Murphy and the Parking Facility will also be researched.
Board members discussed ways of aid drivers at the Chi Omega fountain, such as posting traffic arrows or filling a traffic island, Maliniza said.
The committee will make recommendations about these topics to the executive vice chancellor's office in April 1991, Mulinizzai said.
Judith Ramaley, former executive vice chancellor, organized the committee in Fall 1989 to make recon- gangion on Jayhawk Boulevard.
"We are kicking around ideas to try to get things accomplished," said KU police Lt. John Mullens, who serves on the committee. "Some ideas we get are far-fetched, but things that may be impossible in one place may work great somewhere else."

Student leaders and administrators must work together and share the responsibility of increasing student leadership and administrator leaders and administrators said.

Leaders of student organizations, such as the Hispanic American Leadership Organization and Black Student Union, said they realized the important role they could play in fulfilling the goal of bringing more minority students to the University of Kansas.
of students, too," said Peggy Woods, BSU recording secretary. "We're the ones who look around and don't see students like us and we're the ones who see our friends leaving. But the administration has the power."
Woods said BSU sponsored the Tomorrow's Leadership Conference in the spring. Most of the students attended a high school sophomores and juniors.
While the students are on the KU campus they attend workshops and meet with professors and teachers.
Marshall Jackson, interim director of the Office of Minority Affairs, said it was important for students and the administration to work together.

Third grader Nick Jacob waits for his mother outside his classroom after the Halloween festivities at Schwegler Elementary School, 2201 Ousdahl Road. The festivities began at 2:45 p.m. yesterday with an all-school outdoor parade of costumes. Afterward, the children moved inside for class parties.
"Any program targeted at minority students or any program aimed at any under-represented group is the responsibility of the curricularned and all departments," he said.
The Office of Minority Affairs is not involved actively in recruitment, Jackson said. Instead, the office supplements activities of student organizations and the Office of Admissions.
"We concentrate on spending time with students to act like role models for them," she said. "It would be hypocritical of HALO to complain about what it does, and talk about it. If youre not part of the solution, yeu're part of the problem."
Angela Cervantes, HALO president, said HALO members were dedicated to bringing more Hispanic students to KU.
