However, the committee expects less than half of them to attend the reception because many do not live in Lawrence In February or March, all students who have applied for degrees since May 1984 will receive commencement information, he said.

Transportation Board chairman, told the Kansan that a story in yesterday's Kansan should not have implied that the board was not concerned with the punishment of Steve McMurry, the former director of KU on immigration, but could embezzling money from the program. She said the board was concerned both with McMurry's punishment and obtaining resituation. Nicaraguans to attend KU conference By DAN HOWELL Staff Reporter Tomorrow's conference on hopes for peace in Central America will feature two important Nicaraguan officials, one of whom will come directly from negotiations on the same subject, the conference's director said yesterday. Mariano Flallo, president of Nicaragua's Supreme Electoral Council, will come to the University of Kansas from a conference at Duke University and Charles Staisler, the conference director. Fiailos is in Cartagena to represent Nicaragua at discussions of long-range economic issues in Central America, Stansfer said. The three-day international conference, which began yesterday, is part of the Contadora peace initiative. THE CONTADORA PROCESS is an initiative by four Latin American nations to enact a global system of environmental protection. โ€” to bring peace and better economic conditions to Central America. Fiailos and Carbos Tunermann, Nicaraguan ambassador to the United States, will make the principal addresses at the KU conference, which is titled "Contadora and the Prospects for Peace in Central America." Stansifer, who is director of KU's Center of Latin American Studies, said Fiallos and Tunnermann were excellent replacements for selected keynote speakers who could lead. "We're still having a conference, and it's still a first-class conference," he said. THE CONFERENCE IS important, he said, because the U.S. public does not understand that U.S. involvement in Nicaragua amounts to war, nor does the public understand the value of the Contadora process. The coincidence of the two conferences โ€” at KU and Cartagena โ€” left KU without one conference. Hernando Santos, publisher and co-director of El Tiempo, a leading South American newspaper, decided to attend the conference in Cartagena. El Tiempo is published in Bogota, Colombia. The KU conference lost its other scheduled feature speaker this week when Sergio Ramirez, Nicaragua's vice president-elect, decided to go to Mexico for a meeting with President Miguel de la Madrid. RAMIREZ'S DECISION CAME at about the same time the U.S. State Department ended an eight-day delay in approving his visa. Tunmermann will speak on Ramirez's announced topic, "The Nicaraguan View of the Contadora Process." Stansier said. He said the position of ambassador to the United States, which Tunnermann has occupied for Nicaragua since August, was an important position in Latin American nations. "From his position in Washington, he's in a good slot to the Contadora process," Stansifer said. "It's almost to the point that the survival of Sandinismo depends on how well Tormermann does his job, because that survival depends on Reagan." "Sandinismo" is a term for the cause and the work of the Sandinistas. Tunmermann was Nicaragua's minister of education during the Sandinista regime from 1979 to 1984, Stansifer said, and has been president of the Supreme Council of Central American Universities. FALLOLS PRESIDED OVER the Nov. 4 elections in Nicaragua in which the Sandinistas scored a solid victory. Before that, he was an ally of the autonomous University of Nicaragua. He will occupy the Rose Morgan Professorship in political science at KU next semester. The conference, which is sponsored by KU and Sen. Nancy Kassbeaum, will begin at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow at the Kansas Union and will end at 5 p.m. with a reception. It is free and open to the public. Five U.S. scholars of Latin America, including two KU professors, also will speak during the day. Fiallo will speak at 10 a.m. and Tunnermann will speak at 2:45 p.m. Michelle Butler, Osawatomie freshman, studies sociology. She was in Robinson Gymnasium yesterday. State gains with Dole, leaders say By LAURETTA SCHULTZ Staff Reporter Local political leaders from both parties yesterday said Sen. Robert Dole's election as Senate majority leader was an important victory for Kansas. Three local state legislators and the chairman of the Douglas County Republican Central Committee all said they thought the presidenic position would bring good things to the nation. Dole, 61, defeated four colleagues to gain the position on the fourth and final ballot of a Senate special election. STATE REP. JOHN SOLBACH, D. Lawrence, qualified his praise for Dole with warnings to Kansas constituents "We can not expect, nor should we expect, great windfalls to come to Kansas that could not fly on their own merits," he said. "People need to realize this is not a one-sided thing; it is a multi-lateral thing done for Kansas. But it does have the opportunity to be a plus for our state." State Rep. Jessie Branson, D-Lawrence was more optimistic about Dole's selection. "Obviously, it gives Kansas more visibility, she said. And even though I am a Democrat, I still think it's important." over the past few years has given us more visibility." "HORB AND I GO BACK a long way," he said. "One in Washington works harder to keep our leaders safe." "This will be great for Kansas and great for Dole as well." Andy Galyardy, the committee chairman, grew up down the street from Dole in Russell. He said he was "unbelievably excited about Bob's selection." State Sen Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, said, "This is certainly something we should all be proud of. Anytime you have a representative from your state with more responsibility and influence in the federal government, it should bring more plusses for you." "I don't think it is his job to be in total alignment with the president," Solbach said. "He is a member of an entirely separate branch of the government. They must make sure each proposal gets a fair hearing and set policy based upon the legislative process. All four of the political leaders said Dole's record of occasionally voting against President Reagan's proposals was an asset he brought to the position. 'IT'S NOT THE REPUBLICANS' job to make sure that Reagan's proposals become law. They need to make independent judements that will benefit the country as a whole." Branson said she was encouraged by Dole's independent thinking. "Dole is not going to be anybody's 'yes man,' she said. "I really expect him to exert his independence in areas that might benefit Kansas." Winter said he would have been "uncomfortable with anyone who did not show Dole's independence." Sobach and Branson said they thought Dole might not be able to devote as much time to Kansas as he had in the past. "THIS WILL PLACE A tremendous demand on his time and attentions." Solbach said. "In a sense, his constituency is now the whole country, not just Kansas. "He also has obligations to those Republican senators who elected him and an obligation to the Senate as a whole. To some extent, he would have time he would otherwise spend for Kansas." Branson said, "It will probably make it a little harder for him to spend the time in Kansas that he has in the past. Man stable after falling off car trunk By JOHN REIMRINGER Staff Reporter Staff Reporter A student who received head injuries when he fell from a moving car early yesterday was reported to be in serious but stable condition in the neurosurgery intensive care unit at the University of Kansas Medical Center last night. Michael Marconi, Highland Park, Ill., freshman, had not regained consciousness and had stayed in the same condition since taken by ambulance to the Med Center. No surgery had been performed on Marconi, who was being treated for head trauma. Members of Marconi's family were with him at the Med Center. ACCORDING TO KU POLICE reports, Marecon, 18, was riding on the trunk of a car driven by another student when the accident occurred about 12:13 a.m. yesterday. The driver reported that when she stopped for the stop sign at Naismith Drive and Sumyride Avenue, Marconi got out of the car and climbed on the trunk. The student turned left onto Naismith Drive and drove south at about 15 mph with Marconi lying on the trunk, the report said. The car had passed Allen Field House when another passenger noticed that Marconi was no longer on the trunk. The driver continued down the street and turned around, intending to pick Marcum up, but when she saw people gathered in the car, he stopped at the car and walked to the scene, the report said. AT THE SCENE OF the accident, a witness who declined to be identified said she and a friend were driving south on Naismith Drive and were the first to come upon Marcem who, according to the police report, had been traveling about 30 feet south of Fieldhouse Drive. Another witness, Steve Niehaus, 1528 W 22nd St. Terr., said he was riding his motor scooter on naismith Drive and found a snowbowl gathered on the sidewalk near Marcom. "The man was unconscious and lying on his side bleeding." Niehaus said. "He tried to move so I went over and held him down until the ambulance came." Marcom was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital by Douglas County Ambulance Service, then transferred to the Med Center. LT. JEANNE LONGAKER of the KU police said yesterday afternoon that no citations had been issued in connection with the accident. Another student, Mark S. Cerne, 26, of 1024 Vermont ST, was reported to be in fair condition at the Med Center after he was taken in a bicycle accident Tuesday evening.
