Shirts continued from p. 1
to determine whether GLSOK will receive funds from Senate in the future, will be discussed by the Senate Elections Committee at its meeting Thursday.
LICHTWARDT CRITICIZED those who wore the T-shirts.
"Just the fact that people are wearing them shows an attitude that is really, really bad," she said.
Lichtwardt said that she heard about the shirts at the beginning of the month and that members of GLSOK had seen people wearing them on campus.
Homosexual students may fear harassment because of the shirts, she said. "That can scare them back into the closet for life."
The potential success of any legal efforts GLSOR might undertake could not be questioned.
Lynn Knox, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union in Kansas and western Missouri, said that GLOSK probably could do little legally unless it could prove harassment had followed the appearance of the shirts on campus.
THE WHITE, 100-percent cotton shirts feature a ghost trapped by a bright red circle with a bar through it. The ghost has a limp wrist, an earring and long eyelashes. The word "Fagusters" appears in bright red letters above the picture.
Knox said state and federal courts would balance GLASK's right to protect gays from hearing objectionable slogans against him. That would rights to express their opinions.
"If the shirts said 'Kill all gays,' you might get a little sympathy in the courts." Knox said.
BUT LEGAL PROBLEMS may arise, said Phil Poulis, legal secretary for Columbia Pictures' office in Burbank, Calif., because the logo on the shirts resembles that used for the film "Ghost-busters," which was released by Columbia this summer.
He said Friday that Columbia had copyrighted its logo, which featured a ghost trapped by a red circle with a bar through it. He said the seller of the "Fagbusters" T-shirt would have needed written permission from the company to use a similar picture.
Pouls said he did not know whether such permission was obtained.
THE T-SHIRTS HAVE been offered for sale to members of several fraternities, a check of 15 fraternities shows.
Members or presidents of eight of the fraternities said they knew that the shirts
wts] These traternities were Delta Chi, Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsilon, Sigma Nu, Phi Kappa Theta, Kappa Sigma, Phi Gamma Delta, and Phi Kappa Tau.
existed, that members of a fraternity were selling the shirts or that they knew who was selling the shirts.
Delta and Jill Merfort, president of Sigma Nu, said last week that Imber had been to his house a week earlier to sell the shirts during dinner. He said two or three other men had accompanied Imber.
meet him.
SCOTT F. HARTMAN, Interfraternity adviser, said Sunday that the shirts did not represent the attitude of the fraternity system as a whole. He sent a letter about the T-shirts, dated Sept. 14, to each fraternity president.
each friend they present.
He said he learned about the shirts about
2½ weeks ago, when two friends had told him about them.
He said in his letter to the presidents, "First of all, although some of these individuals are part of the fraternity system, they are acting on their own as individuals and not as representatives of the Greek system. These people are not sponsored by any fraternity or the Interfraternity Council."
Some information for this story also was supplied by reporter Michele T. Johnson.

A University Daily Kansan staff member yesterday purchased one of the T-shirts from Imer for $7.
Senate rules do not say whether a valid petition must be passed on for an election without consideration of its content. Davidson said the committee probably now would consider the content.
consider the context.
"That is too important to overlook, now that we have a serious question about the true intent of this petition," he said.
The petition says, in part, "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 from KU."
To be valid, a petition calling for a referendum must have the signatures of 10 percent of the student body. Imber needed about 2,100 signatures, and his petition had more than 2,500.

The senate and the residents know about the proposal now.
HUTCHINS SAID, "THE opinion I've heard generally is that as a principle this is an upperclassmen dorm and people like it that way. People are here to study."
But Jenny Andreas, McColum Hall vice president, said, "It's disruptive for freshmen to be put here for three to four weeks and then to tell them they have to leave. A lot of them like the quiet here and the good study habits of the other residents."
Worden said that McCollum's proposal would "discriminate against a freshman who wanted to live in McCollum but who wasn't forced to live there."
Jon Haynes, a resident of McCollum Hall, said, "I don't think there would be a big problem as long as there's enough room for upperclass and graduate students."
CHRISTINA ROSSETTI. McColum Hall resident assistant, said that if McColum were opened to freshmen, another hall should be designated for upperclass and graduate students. She said that a smaller hall might work better because it would not be used for overflow from the other halls.
Worden said that no proposal like that had been suggested to the AURH Housing and Contracts Committee.
