Groups to split cost of van for disabled
By GENE GEORGE Staff Reporter
With the help of the Kansas University Endowment Association, the Interfraternity Council will go shopping for a second van for the Student Assistance Center's bus service for handicapped students.
The Endowment Association will add $8,000 to $12,000 the IFC has raised at its annual Hawkstock benefits for handicapped students, Robert Coleman, council vice president, said yesterday.
Coleman said the $12,000 was raised during the last two years.
Richard Porto, Endowment Association treasurer, said the IFC asked the Endowment Association last year for help raising the money.
Porto said the Endowment Association agreed to match roughly two-thirds of the amount the IFC raised
The Endowment Association's executive committee authorized the use of unrestricted funds to help buy the van, he said.
Coleman said. "We are still working to find a van. We are going to try to get a good deal."
The Endowment Association's unrestricted fund is a pool of money from many donors. The $3,000 will be used until the IFC is ready to buy the van.
The van will be equipped with a wheelchair lift and various safety features needed for transporting patients. Ms. DeLong said it will be similar to the one now
used by the center, which holds as many as six students in wheelchairs.
But the service is not restricted to students in wheelchairs. Any student who has a handicap that prevents him or her going to class can ride in the van, he said.
COLEMAN SAID that if a handicapped student did not need a wheelchair but did need a ride, a special seat could be installed in place of the wheelchair locks in the van.
But the cost of such special equipment is high, he said. Some of the $20,000 the IFC and Endowment Association have raised will be used for everyday maintenance of the van.
Last year, the monthly maintenance cost for the van service was $1,600, and Coleman said the cost be at least that much this year.
The center now transports about 17 students to class each day. Mr. Snyder said he expected the number to increase because of ice and snow conditions.
The center currently owns one van and uses the Jibney transport service, a private company, as back up, and associates an associate director of the center, said.
He said he was not sure whether the purchase of a second van would mean the center would discontinue use of the Jinney.

In the art department, faculty members are required to create and exhibit their paintings, sculptures and prints. Gee said, just as faculty members in other schools are required to conduct research.
"Working people—all of us—need Wint in Topaka. He received an endorsement from the Lawrence Central Labor Council and the Kansas State Federal of Labor, AFL-CIO, because we know he will listen to us. He will work fairly for all people in lawrence."

Art by KU faculty members has been shown in art galleries around the country and worldwide, but from now until Nov. 15, students will have a chance to see samples of faculty work in the SUA gallery in the Kansas Union.
The styles of art at the exhibition vary widely.
"It's probably the only chance in the year that we get to see what everybody is doing," said Gee, who helped organize this year's exhibition.
In one corner of the room stands an immense plastic foam pillar sand-wiched between black wigs. Phil Blackhurst, the associate professor of art who created the sculpture, calls it "Salute With Balls."
In another corner is an untitled canvas covered with warm-colored paint by Robert Wright, assistant professor of art.
RICHARD GILLESPIE, associate professor of art, welded the sculpture from an abandoned steel drum and pieces of scrap metal.
KU faculty members have had their work exhibited in Chicago, San Francisco and New York, but Norman Gee, associate professor of art, said the art department's annual
