Under the bill, a Senate-financed group could lose its funds if it bought products three times in three years from a company that does business in South Africa. The bill allows for "mitigating circumstances," which would make exceptions for purchases that can be bought only from a company that has ties to South Africa.
The complete impact of the bill, if passed, is uncertain, but the Senate allocated more than $938,000 for fiscal year 1988. The money comes from the $24 student activity fee that students pay at the beginning of each semester along with his tuition.
Charles Lawhorn, off-campus senator,
asked that the bill be sent back to committee because the amendments to the Senate rules had not been written in the proper form.
LAWHORN ALSO said the bill would attempt to bind future student administrations with past decisions in enforcing its provisions.
'This had nothing to do with my feelings
about the bill," Lawhorn said after the meeting.
Higherger said he would have the bill amended correctly by the Finance Committee, which passed it last week. The Senate voted to send the bill to the committee after about 20 minutes of discussion on Senate rules and parliamentary procedure.
In other action, senators voted to allocate $2,200 to bring a professional actor to campus for Expo '84, a minority student career fair on Oct. 25.
The Senate also passed a petition aimed at saving a large, 50-foot elm tree and the grassy area behind it. The Science Center and Hoch Auditorium. The site is the proposed site for a science library.
Expo '84 is a supplement to the Black Alumni-Student Career Fair, an annual program that gives minority alumni a chance to meet students. The career fair, which began in 1978, is being redesigned by the Black Alumni Committee.

organization called Gay and Lesbian and Services of Kansas. Included in this petition is my belief that the GLSOK could be self-supportive, and for this reason, I believe that they (GLSOK), should not receive funds of any kind from any student organization
But Ibmer said the petition's intent and wording were clear.
"And I think everybody knows that," he said. "And I think I'll come on top."
Eric Strauss, chairman of the judicial board and associate professor of architecture and urban design, said the board might not hear Imher's appeal for as many as four weeks because of the time involved in selecting a five-member hearing panel.
WHEN A JUDICIAL BOARD chairman receives an appeal, he chooses five people from a pool of about 50 students, faculty, staff, administrators and law members.

member serves as chairman of the panel.
After hearing an appeal, the panel makes a recommendation to Chancellor Gene A. Budig.
BUT IMBER SAID, "It wasn't done with any prejudice."
Lichtward said she opposed the petition because its intent was discriminatory.
He said he was not singling out GLSOK. If the election were held and students voted to deny GLSOK's funding, Imer said, he would encourage the Senate to consider denying funds for other student groups that might be self-supporting.
Lichtwardt said, "He'd better go for the other groups at the same time he goes for us."
She cited Imber's involvement in the sale of "Fagusters" T-shirts, which appeared on
campus last month, as proof of the petition's alleged discriminatory nature.
The shirts, a spoof of the popular movie "Ghostbusters," feature a limp-wristed ghost entrapped by a red circle with a bar over it. The dark "Faglusters" is printed above the ghost.
IMBER SAID THE T-shirts were a parody of GLSOK's annual "Wear Blue Jeans If You're Gay Day."
Lichtward said, "He's obviously missed the point of 'Wear Blue Jeans If You're Gay Day,' as many people have. No parody of who encourages violence, as his Tshirts do."
Iber started his petition last semester when the Senate voted to give GLOSK $205 for office rent and telephone expenses. The Senate's vote followed a threat by Carla Nunes, the body president, to veto any Senate budget that did not include financing for GLOSK.

Highland, Ili., somhore, made Tuesday.
RUDOLPH SAID SHE had chosen the occupational therapy program at the University of Kansas because she thought she would be able to stay in one place for four years. In Illinois she could have enrolled in a university for two years and transferred to a medical center for the last part of her training, she said.
Karla Hudson, Chicago sophomore, also chose KU because of the four-year program at one campus. At first Hudson was upset by the classmates who made her as a chance to improve the KU program
"I love the OT program here. I want to move with them." Hudson said.
Students now spend most of their school career at the Lawrence campus with the exception of a period of internships at the end of their schooling.
ADMINISTRATORS MAY want to improve the program, students said, but they say students should have been told about the proposed changes sooner.
According to Larson, rumors of a change circulated among occupational therapy students long before they were told about the possibility and told others, about the possibility and told others, she said.
possibly got real distorted," Larson said.
"Then they had to let the cat out of the bag and say they were negotiating."
Students said their professors stressed that
the changes were not definite yet. Professors also said that some students would finish the program at KU next year, Larson said.
"You just never know what to believe and what not to believe." Larson said. "Everybody's just really confused right now about whether we're going to go or stay."
IN ADDITION TO the move, some students have been told that negotiations covered boosing for students in Kansas City.
Larson, who lives in Sellards Scholarship Hall, said she was happy where she lived and didn't want to move to Kansas City.
"I hope we don't go," she said. "It's going to be a lot more expensive. Money will probably come."
"I remember I was criticized by the editor for writing like a Gothic novelist in the 1930s," he recalled.
He said Roosevelt was a stately, handsome woman who talked pleasantly and interestedly to those she met.

Eleanor Roosevelt had a reputation for quick and thoughtful answers to unfriendly questions. A 1946 magazine article reported a question to her about whether the president's illness had affected his mind.
"Yes, I think it did," she replied. "I think it made him more sensitive to the feelings of suffering people."
