Alternative journal to have free forum
By JOHN HANNA Staff Reporter

A group of about 50 students hope to put a new form of journalism on campus streets next semester.
Those students plan to publish In The Streets, an alternative monthly newspaper that they say will provide a forum for students, faculty and University staff.
"We're going to be a more humanistic, rather than a journalistic, paper," said Craig Krueger. Sinus City, Iowa, junior and senior editor of *The Enquirer*, we are not going to be the National Enquirer.
MEMBERS OF THE group have been meeting regularly or about four weeks,
"The purpose is not to put out three or four issues, he said, "but to establish an organization."
In the Streets will not compete with the Kansan, Krueger said, but add diversity to the coverage of campus news. The group has
been dissatisfied with coverage by the Kansan, he said.
The Kansan sometimes writes articles that do not interest students, Kreuger said, and devotes too much space to United Press International stories.
He also said the Kansan sometimes ignored the student angle of stories, citing the story about the recent presidential debate between Senator Magan and Walter Mondale in Kansas City.
Kate Barron, Lincoln, Neb., sophomore and a group member, said, "Mainly I think we'll have a different kind of reporting from each of us to look at things from a different perspective."
THE KANSAN ALSO overplayed recent stories dealing with Gay and Lesbianism, his last crime.
Barron also said she hoped that the paper would include a literary page where students and faculty members could publish their short stories, book reviews and drawings.
Krueger said In the Streets would accept
articles and drawings by non-staff members. Robert Lehmann, who said this makes the gap in apprehension more
"We want views from anybody," Arensberg said.
Krugereger the Harvard Crimson as an example of what In the Streets will try to be. The Crimson is a student newspaper at GCU, and it has only campus news on its front page, he said.
A FORMAT FOR THE paper and a site for its office have not been chosen yet, Krueger said, but the group hopes to distribute its first set of hand on the first day of classes next semester.
The paper will be printed in Lawrence, he said. A printer had told him that it would cost $700 to print 10,000 copies of a 12-page tabloid, he said.
"We're not trying to be underground," he said. "We're above ground."
The group will pay for the newspaper through advertising and fundraising events, events such as the launch of a new book.
have been contacted about running ads,
Krueger said.
A party to benefit In the Streets is scheduled for Nov. 8 in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Krueger said that to attract people to the party the group would give away five free pairs of tickets to the Bruce Springsteen concert on Nov. 19 in Kansas City, Mo.
"ONCE WE GET one good issue out, the 'advertising will fall into place,' he said.
Although he now is enrolled in a reporting class, Krueger said most of the members of his department work as officers.
"We're not writing for the New York Times," he said. "We're writing for students. I think a student paper should be a student paper and not the *Lavender Journal-World*."
Barron said the paper would have liberal views, but Krueger said this would not prevent other sides from being heard in the paper.
"We're going to represent both views," he said. "We're not going to declare what we are."

Archivist guards campus records
Staff Reporter
By SUZANNE BROWN
On the top floor of the Spencer Research Library in an office crowded with file cabinets, reference shelves and oversized volumes. John Nugent has worked for 15 years to preserve a record of life at the University of Kansas.
Nugent, a 61 year-old Kansan, didn't ask for his position as director of Library Archives when the department was opened in 1950. Then, he wasn't even sure what the job would be.
"I didn't know anything about archives when I started. Nugent said, 'I thought I'd done it.'"
Since then, Nugent, who has been with the University longer than any other librarian, is now the department head.
NUGENT WAS A librarian at Watson Library from 1950 to 1969 before becoming head of University Archives, a vast collection that includes thousands of office records, student and employee records, tapes and other materials related to the University
"I don't know if I love it," he said. "Once you start, it's kind of hard to let go of."
"You've got to know the University," he said. "It's a very big job, and you're dealing
with huge quantities of records every day."
Jazz eased out of the radio on the shelf behind Nugent as he sat at a typewriter tapping out information on student protests at KU a decade ago
Nugent recalled that his two daughters had attended KU during those days of unrest.
"They didn't take part in student demonstrations," he said. "But they were pretty nice."
NUGENT OFTEN INDEXES KU events that are reported in the Kansan and the Jayhawker Yearbook, he said. But his chief task is to help office workers store records and to answer dozens of questions about the University
"There was a girl in here the other day who wanted a piece of Rock Chalk." Nagent said. "I didn't think it was important."
Nugent recently helped a Kansan reporter find information on the architectural plan of Strong Hall by discovering an article about it in a 1932 issue of the Kansan.
"I ifave questions about the University of Kansas, there's one person I ask, and that's John Nugent," he said. "If he doesn't recall it, he knows where it is."
David Dary, professor of journalism, who has used the Archives for research, called Nina Gosling.
NED KEHDE. A LIBRARIAN who has
worked with Nugent in Archives since 1971, said Nugent worked harder than anyone he knew.
"I wouldn't call him a workaholic," he said. "He isn't obsessed by work. He just keeps at it until he gets things done."
"Certain things have to be done and we do them," he said.
Nugent said he rarely grew nostalgic after poring over old yearbooks or photographs.
In 1850, Nugent came to KU from Emporia State University, where he earned a library science degree. Before that, he served in the Army during World War II. He was 19 when he joined
"I wanted to enlist, but my mother wouldn't sign the papers at first," he said.
NUGENT SAID HE wasn't sure what made him decide to become a librarian when he returned from the war.
"I don't think any of us knew what we wanted to do back then," he said.
But he remembered that he had used the public library when he was a boy the way few
"I'd go check out six books, read them and bring them back the next week," he said. "Not many kids do that anymore."
Official sees Reagan pact limiting arms

If President Reagan is re-elected on Tuesday, an arms control treaty with the Soviet Union should be reached within two years of department of Defense official said yesterday.
Ernest Garcia, deputy assistant secretary of defense in the office of legislative affairs, spoke yesterday about defense policy and his job to honor students in Nuneman Center.
GARCIA EXPLAINED WHY it had taken so long for the United States to come to an agreement with the Soviet Union.
"We have offered different options to the Soviets, and to my knowledge, every time we have attempted, they have rejected our plan and countered with their own," he said. "They are not as strong as our people. Their only interest is to be superior to us and to look out for their own best interest."
Garcia said that the United States had not changed its defense negotiations plan and that the plan was more clear-cut than the Soviet plan.
GARCIA, A 1973 KU graduate, met with Chancellor Gene A. Budig, students and professors yesterday, ending a three-day visit to Lawrence.
"It's a matter of the United States saying to the Soviets, 'You've seen our plan, now let's see yours,'" Garcia said. "Ours has been rejected by them every time."
Garcia described his job as "representing the presidential budget before Congress." He has a staff of about 20 people who consult with him on policy matters such as arms control and foreign policy.
"Although the State Department handles a lot what we do has a tremendous effect on bot safety."
His office was the first to receive complaints about waste in the Defense Department, he said.
"PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS about the waste problem," Garcia said. "Several violations are being uncovered by our own staff and we have to prepare and taking steps to prevent this problem."
"It's tough trying to explain why the Department of Defense is spending $750 on a new program."
Garcia, a Garden City native, attended Wichita State University for a year before attending the University of Kansas.
"I don't like the possibility of nuclear war more than anyone else does," Garcia said. "You've got to recognize the deterrence factor."
