Petitioner's T-shirt sales stir GLSOK
By JOHN HANNA Staff Renorter
A leading opponent of Student Senate financing for Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas is selling T-shirts with the word "Faghusters" printed above a picture of a limp-wristed ghost
The T shirts, a take-off on the popular movie "Ghostbusters," have offended GLSOK members, the group's president said yesterday.
Steve imber, Lawrence senior, is the student behind a petition drive to place GLSOK financing on a referendum, or campus election.
Ruth Lachtwardt, president of the support group, said that GLNOK was considering legal action against the seller of the shirts.
Imber, who 12 days ago said that he had nothing to do with the sale of the "Faghusters" T-shirts, yesterday sold one to a University Daily Kansas staff member who visited his traternity, Acacia. The staff member, accompanied by another person, bought the shirt for $7 from Imber.
Imber has said publicly that he considers the GLOSK issue to be financial. He has said that GLOSK could support itself, without Senate money.
IMBER COULD NOT be reached for comment later yesterday despite five telephone calls and three visits to his fraternity house throughout the afternoon and evening.
Imber told the staff member — who neither stated nor denied his affiliation with the Kansan — that about 400 of the shirts had been manufactured.
"This is not a moral attack on homosexuality." he said Sept. 5.

A student's sale of T-shirts that say 'Faghusters' on the front may endanger his drive for a referendum on Student Senate financing for Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas.
The student, Steve Imber, Lawrence senior, in the spring started a petition that asked for a student referendum, or election, or future financing for the group.
The Senate had voted to allocate $505 to the group for fiscal year 1985, after which Imber started the push for a referendum.
imber said. Then Davidson, chairman of the Senate Electoral Committee, said yesterday that Imber's connections with the shirts put the intent of the petition in doubt. The committee will discuss the petition Thursday.

IMBER COULD NOT be reached for comment despite repeated attempts yesterday.
Carla Vogel, student body president, also criticized Lumber's sale of the T-shirts.
"I don't like it," she said. "I think it's ugly, violent and really sad. It shows the ignorance of people, and I don't see any humor in it."
Vogel has in the past supported financing for GLSOK, a support group for homosexuals in the area. She also said the petition's credibility would suffer because of Imber's involvement with the sale of the "Fag busters". T-shirts
Imber has said that he is opposed to GLSOK financing because the group could be self supporting — and therefore should not receive student money — and not

Reagan 'tune' rings false, Mondale says
President Reagan attempted yesterday to blunt antitism that he is trigger happy, putting to the United Nations for talks with Moscow. But Walter Mondale said Reagan had "changed his tune" just before the election.
While Reagan adopted a more conciliatory approach to the Soviet Union at Turtle Bay, Mondale made a one-day trip to Texas, a key state where he trails far behind the president

"For four years, he talked like Carris LeMay, and this morning he tried to talk like Wall Mondale," Monday said of Reagan's UN speech. LeMay was an Air Force general best known for his statement during the Vietnam War that the United States should bomb the enemy "back to the stone age."
FERRARO CAMPGNED IN NEW YORK and BALTIMORE, saving the administration has a 'calculator where its heart should be and it a calculator with a double standard.' Vice President George Bush took his campaign to an Illinois coal mine and defended security arrangements at the embassy
Reagan told the U.N. General Assembly "America has repaired its strength" and is "ready for constructive negotiations" with Moscow for talks to reduce superpower tension and the risk of war. Reagan suggested renewed arms control negotiations and regular meeting between U.S. and Soviet experts to "work rapidly toward developing a new climate of policy understanding."

He said such talks were essential if crises are to be avoided and real arms control is to be negotiated.
"How much progress we will make—and at what pace—I cannot say. But we have a moral obligation to try and try again."

"What are we to believe?" Mondale asked.
"Which Reagan would be our president if he's re-elected"?
Mondale kept up his attacks on the security taken to protect the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon, criticizing Reagan's Sunday comment minimizing the fact that security arrangements were not complete. "Anyone that's ever had a kitchen done over knows that it never gets done as soon as you wish it would," said Reagan.
Joan Mondale says Reagan is indifferent toward workers
MONDALE SAID. "WE need a president who knows dealing with terrorists is a much more difficult task than fixing up a kitchen."
In Baltimore, Ferraro said that when talking about security from terrorist activity, comparing it to kitchen remodeling is very inappropriate.
Ferraro attracted a crowd of more than 6,000 at a downtown Baltimore rally. It was the first time in days that she was not dogged by hecklers.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The American worker doesn't matter to President Reagan, Joan Mondale yesterday told a cheering crowd of about 600 AFL-CIO members.
But if Walter Mondale were elected president, he would restore the worker pride that was lost during the Reagan administration, she said.
"It seems that Mr. Reagan doesn't think you matter very much to America," she told representatives of the Missouri State Labor
Council, the state branch of the AFL.CIO.
"But we have a chance to show him on Nov. 6
just how important you are."
Mondale spoke at the 12th biennial convention of the state council at the Radisson Mueblebach Hotel in downtown Kansas City, Mo. The AFL.CIO has endorsed Walter Mondale for president.
water沃尔顿MONDALE'S SPEECH WAS interrupted frequently by hearty applause She contrasted her husband's and Reagan's positions, and described the president as being indifferent to the average worker
"We must choose between a president who will work with us to build the future and
president who is working against the average American." she said
Mondale followed her husband's lead by concentrating a majority of her attack upon the federal deficit accumulated under Reagan's leadership
Mondale said that the $200 billion dollar debt had saddled the United States with rising interest rates, a loss of U.S. jobs to foreign industry and the worst trade year in U.S. history
"AS I TRAVEL across this country, I meet a lot of people who know just exactly what Reagan has done, and they are horrified of
what the consequences of four more years would be," she said.
At a news conference after the meeting, Mondale downloaded indications in recent polls, including one published Saturday by the Kansas City Times and KCTV, which showed that a majority of Americans didn't think the federal deficit was important
"We're telling them about it because they're going to have to pay the bill." she said.
Her response followed weeks of campaigning in which Walter Mondale and his running mate Geraldine Ferraro have tried

New rule could open door for freshmen at McCollum
By BRENDA STOCKMAN
Staff Reporter
Freshmen may be allowed to live in McCollium Hall in the future but the terms of their occupancy has touched off a debate between the McCollium Hall Senate and the Association of University Residence Halls.
Under current rules, residents in McCollam must be upperclassman, graduate students or non-traditional freshmen. Mark Denke, assistant director of residential programs, said yesterday. The ball is also used each fall to accommodate the overflow of students from the other halls.
A not-traditional freshman is any student who was introduced as a freshman but who did not graduate from high school the semester before moving into the hall.
Jeff Plymire, McCollium Hall president, said McCollium's proposal for freshmen occupancy only gave traditional freshmen assigned to McCollium temporarily in the fall the option to stay in McCollium.
MCCOLLUM HALL SENATE will take its proposal to the Residential Programs Advisory Board tomorrow. The Association of University Residence Halls presented its proposal last week.
present this week.
Curt Worden, AURH housing and contracts chairman, said that AURH's proposal would allow traditional freshmen to choose McCollum when the freshmen sign their contracts.
The AURH proposal recommends, that the current contract classification of students residing in McCollium Hall be changed from '1' Men and women, upperclass and graduate only, housed on separate corridors,' to read '1' Men and women, all classes, housed on separate corridors.
WORDEN SAID THE reclassification was being considered now because more freshmen were living in McCollum temporarily than had done so in previous years
Under both proposals freshmen would only be allowed to live on one of the first three floors.
At last week's advisory board meeting, Caryl K. Smith, dean of student life, asked for input from McCollum's senate before the board considered AUH1's proposal
sink Hutchins, a member of the McCollum senate, said that the senate was not aware that the advisory board had asked for its input. He said that the alternative proposal was developed through the senators' initiative.
Flymire said that the McCollum Hall Senate did not know about the AURH proposal when it was being made, although a representative from the hall had been present at the meeting in which the AURH proposal was adopted.
He said that no one was to blame for the senate's lack of information.
