Suspension brings positive results
By Kady McMaster Of the Kansan staff
A hazing incident that resulted in the two-year suspension last summer of Sigma Alpha Epsilon changed the lives of many of the almost 100 members of the fraternity.
From staff and wire reports.
Members felt the repercussions of the suspension, but say they have turned the blow into a positive experience.
"It was a knock-down punch, but not a knock-out punch," Pat Walker, Tampa, Fla., senior and social chairman of the house, said yesterday.
"When it happened, I thought it wasn't fair." Walker said. "But I decided we could do one of two things: we could get mad and dwell on the fact, or we could look at what the University told us we were doing
SAE, 1301 W. Campus Rd., was suspended as an official registered campus organization June 19 by the University of Kansas for violations of University regulations on hazing.
wrong and work on it, which we have."
KU administration officials requested this summer that the national fraternity organization revoke SAE's charter. Instead, delegates from 180 chapters across the nation voted at the SAE national convention to place the chapter under the auspices of an alumni advisory committee.
Edward E. Frizel, co-chairman of the 17-member commission and a Kansas City, Mo., attorney, said members of the commission worked with the officers in the house to monitor the fraternity.
"Commission members get in touch with the officers at least once a week to make sure they are upholding their responsibilities." Frizzel said. "The committee has a formal meeting once every two weeks, and telephone conferences more often if necessary."
Several changes have been made in the chapter, such as a mandatory minimum 2.5 grade point average each semester. Frizzel said.
Other changes include the prohibition of the consumption of alcoholic beverages on the fraternity grounds, a program and a pledge education booklet.
"We had a pledge program before, but it was not implemented," Frizel said. "We now have an absolute no-hazing policy in the chapter. Obviously, hazing was not part of the
written program before, but some was going on."
David Ambler, vice chancellor of student affairs, said the changes the alumni commission had planned were impressive.
Jim O'Donnell, Chesterfield, Mo., senior and president of the fraternity, said the changes were made in response to the fact that would be lifted earlier, than planned.
Ambler said, "The fraternity appealed the suspension this summer. At that time, we indicated that we may consider the reinstatement of the house as a registered student organization earlier than planned. It will be important that the progress they make and after it make an assessment of the house."
Under the suspension, the fraternity cannot participate in Interfrater-
nity Council's formal rush, but has continued to rush informally. Other activities barred to SAE this year are the Homecoming float competition and Rock Chalk Revue.
"I was saddened that we couldn't participate in the float competition," Walker said. "I 'tink this is for the better, but I miss the old days. We used to have one or two parties a week. Now it's only one or two a month, if that."
Steve Griswold, Overland Park senior and member of the fraternity, said the changes had pulled the members of the house closer together.
"I see a lot of positive results," Griswold said. "It was a learning experience for us and for all the houses on campus."
Lawrence awaiting new look
By Mike Snider Of the Kansan staff
A Main Street Program official came to town yesterday to welcome Lawrence to the program and he said that Lawrence showed strong signs of revitalizing its downtown.
Mac Nichols, a representative from the National Main Street Center, said yesterday during a news conference, "The problem for Lawrence, obviously, is establishing itself and maintaining its position in its market so that it doesn't continue to lose into those large areas.
He said that Lawrence had good quality merchants, interested developers and a healthy economy, but Lawrence must "publicize those businesses to the man often" to keep shoppers in town and attract people from out of town.
On Oct. 22, Lawrence, Hutchinson, Independence, Manhattan and Winfield were named Kansas Main Street cities. They will receive training and technical assistance for revitalizing their downstools. The five cities became members of the National Main Street Center which was established in 1980 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Kansas became a Main Street state when the 1985 Kansas Legislature appropriated funds to the National Main Street Center, in Washington, D.C.
The center uses a four-point approach of organization, promotion, design and economic restructuring to strengthen and maintain existing businesses and draw new businesses to downtowns. Nichols said.
Lawrence's problems are of a smaller nature than most cities that apply to the Main Street Program and has a downtown to work with he said.
The first step for Lawrence is hiring a downtown manager to coor-
The first year of the program will probably be spent getting promotional and design projects together, Nichols said. Also, the downtown current redevelopment projects with the Main Street Program.
The second and third years of the program tend to become more specialized for each city because towns develop at different paces and, often, specific economic issues are dealt with, Nichols said.
Nichols and Loren W. Medley, coordinator for the Kansas Main Street Program, attended a luncheon with over 100 Lawrence businessmen and city officials at the Eldridge Seventh and Massachusetts streets.
Paul Gillianh. Edgerton. was hoisted yesterday morning from a pit that he fell into at a construction site on the Haskell Indian Junior College campus. Gillianh, an employee of the Clean Water Construction Company, Padla, was listed in fair condition last night at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Firemen pull man from pit
By Karen Blakeman Of the Kansan staff
Douglas County Ambulance Service paramedics and Lawrence firefighters worked for nearly an hour yesterday morning to raise an injured construction worker from a 37-foot pit at the Haskell Indian Junior College campus.
The man, Paul Gillhan, Edgerton, was in fair condition yesterday afternoon with cuts and scratches and was being observed for a possible head injury. He was also a share unit of Lawrence Memorial Hospital, a hospital spokesman said.
Ken Hoffman, site supervisor for Clean Water Construction Company, Paola, said Gillianh was clearess concrete from the walls of a lift station which was under construction as part of the city's Wakarausa Intercept Sewer system. When complete, the system will span a large portion of the southern end of the city.
He said Gillhan was standing on a 10-foot ladder at the bottom of the lift station when the ladder slipped in the
water at the bottom of the pit and Gillihan fell.
Jim Murray, Douglas County Ambulance Service paramedic, said an ambulance was sent to the construction site at the campus at 9:10 a.m.
Murray said that although there was a crane at the construction site, the operator on duty was inexperienced so the fire department was called to help remove Gillihan from the pit.
He said that while the fire department was preparing to lift Gillianh from the pit, paramedics administered basic first aid and placed him on a backboard.
They then put Gillian in a specialized stretcher, which remains horizontal while the patient is hosted in a room with artificial respiration or rescue workers above to lower a rope.
Murray said that by the time Gillihan was ready to be hoisted, the fire department had arrived with its new aerial ladder truck.
He said a rope was connected to the truck and dropped from the end of the ladder into the pit.
Gillian was then transported by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Fire Chief Jim McWain was at the scene of the accident, as were two fire engine companies, the fire marshal, the shift commander and two ladder truck companies.
Gillihan was hoisted to the top of
He said the aerial ladder truck used to lift Gillian to the surface was a truck the fire department had purchased, then refused to accept when it was delivered in June, because it didn't meet the department's specifications.
He said the truck was on loan to the department until another ladder truck was delivered.
However, McSwain said there were no problems with the truck in this case.
He said that although the weight limit was not a problem in this operation, a rescue that required additional weight to be lifted with the patient would not have been possible with the present truck.
Sexes stay separated in Oliver
By Bob Tinsley Of the Kansan staff
Men and women will not be able to live on the same floor at Oliver Hall next fall, though many of the residents endorsed a proposal that would allow them to do so.
Men live on the lower five floors of 10-story Oliver Hall, and women live on floors six through ten.
The proposal to allow men and women to live on opposite wings of the same floors at Oliver received the governor's endorsement. Wall's residents in a September survey
The proposal was voted down by the Residential Programs Advisory Board when it met yesterday.
The board struck down the proposal so that the hall's unique status in the housing system could be preserved. Oliver is the only one of the four residence halls for male and female students, whose sewers are segregated by floor. Men and women live on opposite walls at McCollam, Ellsworth and Hashinger halls.
"I'm not disagreeing with the intent of the proposal, but I think we ought to have as many options as possible," said Ken Stoner, director of housing.
Caryl Smith, dean of student life, said that some residents were attracted to University housing because of the large number of options.
More and more female residents are requesting rooms in areas reserved for females only, she said.
Drew Blossom, president of the Association of University Residence Halls, introduced the proposal, which was to cast the lone affirmative vote.
The Oliver Hall survey was conducted Sept. 22, 23. Oliver Hall houses 647 residents and 435 of them — 67 percent — responded. The change was supported by 338 of those who voted. AURH passed the proposal unanimously Sept. 24, and Blossom presented it to the board for the first time Oct. 1.
Residents supported the change because it would enhance social life, Blossom said, and hall staff supported it because participation of both sexes would improve programs on each of the hall's floors.
One motive behind the proposal was to reduce vandalism at Oliver Hall. AURH hoped that by mixing men and women, vandalism would decline. Although there is no way to determine whether this would happen. Blossom said, the perception of many AURH members was that most vandalism at Oliver occurred on all; male floors.
