"F灰帽sters" T shirts, which have appeared recently on campus, show that strong critics of a homosexual lifestyle are becoming more vocal, a professor and members of a campus and a national gay group said yesterday.
But those same people do not agree the shirts show that students at the University of Kansas and other schools are less tolerant of homosexuals than they were a few years ago.
Michael Storms, professor of psychology, said the shirts indicated that the campus was becoming more liberal because those with conservative views needed extreme measures, such as the shirts, to get their ideas across.
STORMS IS ON LEAVE in Los Angeles, but he said he had heard of the shirts through a letter that he received last week from a friend.
"As soon as I heard about the T-shirts, the first question I asked was, 'Why do people, why do some small groups feel they have to put out so much energy and so personal time to make this point?' " he said.

The T-shirts feature a ghost trapped by a red circle with a bar through it. The ghost has a limp wrist, an earring and long eyelashes. The word "Faghusters" appears above the picture.
Steve Imber, Lawrence senior, on Monday sold a shirt to a University Dailies Kansan staff member who neither stated nor denied his affiliation with the Kansan.
Storms also is gay.
IMBER ALSO IS THE author of a petition calling for an election to determine whether Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas will receive Student Senate money in the future. The Senate Elections Committee will discuss the petition tomorrow.
Imber has said he considers Senate financing of GLOSK a financial, not moral, issue. He did not return six telephone calls yesterday afternoon and evening.
Jonathan Dum-Rankin, president of the Gay Academic Union, said the T-shirts were
an indication that KU and other schools were becoming more conservative.
The Gay Academic Union, based in San Diego, is a national group composed mostly of university students, faculty and staff.
Dunn-Rankin said the nation as a whole had become more conservative since President Reagan's election in 1980.
HE EQUATED THE shirts with the heckling of Rep. Geraldine Ferraro, Democratic candidate for vice president, at recent campaign stops.
"This kind of behavior is tolerated in this kind of time," he said. "It's trightening."
Members of GLSOK had been investigating the sale of the shirts, but they dropped the investigation yesterday, said Ruth Lichtwardt, the group's president.
Lichtwardt said the shirts did not prove that campus attitudes toward homosexuals had changed, just that critics of gay lifestyles had become louder.

"There's more outspokenness on both sides," she said. "Both attitudes have probably always been here. Unfortunately
it's the ones who are against us that get most of the attention."
STORMS SAD THE fact that more homosexuals have come out of the closet in the last few years than in past decades had liberalized attitudes on college campuses and in society in general. He also attribution some liberalization to the sexual revolution of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The liberal attitudes led to more homosexuals come out of the closet, he said.
"It's a chicken and egg kind of thing," he said.
rut Dunn-Rankin said the increase in the number of homosexuals coming out of the closet helped make attitudes on campuses and in the nation more conservative.
"Our attempt to let people know we're here has come to be very exasperating to some people." he said.
Dunn Rank also said those who wore the shirts说 "Fagbusters" as a joke.

Andrew Conteh, a visiting professor of political science from Sierra Leone, West Africa, is a former diplomat who spent 5% years in the Soviet Union. Conteh, who spoke yesterday

Soviet diplomats weak,prof says

Soviet diplomats are powerless to negotiate, and working with them often demands a lot of patience, a former ambassador to the Soviet Union said yesterday.
Andrew Conch, visiting professor of political science, spent $10 years in the Soviet Union as ambassador for the Republic of Sierra Leone, West Africa At the College Honors Program's brown bag lecture yesterday. Conch offered qualities of an ideal modern diplomat, reliving his experience negotiating with the Soviets.
"Soviet diplomats seek negotiation as trying to do in one's enemy," he said. "They view it as a method to achieve a gain, not as a method to adjust differences."
PATIENCE WAS ONE of the qualities Conteh listed as important for diplomats, especially when dealing with Soviet diplomats.
causes negotiations to sometimes go on for a very long time."
Soviet diplomats are given limited authority by their government and are allowed to present only what they have been instructed to say, Conteh said.
"They execute instructions in the strictest sense of the word, because they are aware of the weakness of their positions," he said.
"Soviet diplomats are only mechanical mouthpieces for views that are formulated from above," he said. "They do not respond until they are told how to respond and this
CONTEN WILL BE at the University of Kansas for one year in connection with a program designed to help the United States understand Soviet international relations.
William C. Fletcher, director of Soviet and Eastern European studies, said, "This is an experimental program we developed at KU in order to address the national need to study Soviet international policies."
Three other professors will be at KU for one year with the program: Sun Lung-Kee, an expert in Soviet-East Asian relations; William Richardson, an expert in Soviet Latin American relations, and Leon Zamose, a specialist in international development

As an ambassador, Conch said he found that people had varying views about his job.

Student Senate seeks new sites for its meetings
By MICHELLE T. JOHNSON Staff Reporter
The Student Senate will begin conducting its weekly meetings at different locations on campus in an attempt to make student government more accessible, Dennis "Boog" Highberger, student body vice president, said yesterday.
"It's good to take the meeting to where students are." Highberger said. "And I think it's good for senators to get a chance to see places on campas that they might not have seen before."
The Senate usually meets in the Kansas Union, but on Oct. 10 it will part with that custom when it meets in the Apollo Room of Nichols Hall on West Campus.
Nelson will be in the Big Eight Room of the Union. The locations for other Senate meetings have not been chosen yet.
So I'll think of places that would be good and
if they are available "Hübberger said.
see if they are available" Highberger said. The Senate tonight will consider election reform recommendations for Senate elections. Highberger said.
The proposed reforms were recommended by the Senate Ethics and Standards Committee, a temporary committee set up last semester by the Student Senate Executive Committee chairman.
Committee chain
The reforms include stricter rules for write-in candidates, new rules for independent candidates, and stricter rules for the Senate Elections Committee, which runs the elections.
The Senate will also consider a resolution that calls for specific fines for campaign violations and for an investigation of computer polling.
Another item scheduled for discussion is a resolution by the Senate Affairs Committee asking the Board of Regents and the Kansas Legislature to provide funds to shut down KU's nuclear reactor.
The Senate University Affairs Committee on Sept. 18 unanimously approved the resolution. University officials last week said shutting down the reactor could cost from $500,000 to $1 million.
A resolution calling for an end to the Kansas University Endowment Association's investments in companies that do business with South Africa also will be discussed
"I suppose some people would say that it is not a student issue but I think that it is." Highberger said.
The Senate also will discuss the Nigerian Students Association's request for $240.
The Nigerian Students Association originally asked for $630, but the Finance Committee recommended that the full Senate give the group $240 for advertising, supplies and expenses.
