10 clubs endorsed for extra funding
By DIANE SWANSON Staff Reporter
The Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee last night made final recommendations to the Senate on only 10 of the 54 student organizations requesting supplementary funds.
Although it was scheduled to be the final night of committee deliberations, controversy on whether to finance special interest groups or those groups representing larger segments of the University population caused some tense, spirited and prolonged debate.
The committee voted to recommend to the Senate reduced allocations for four student organizations. Black American Law Students Association (BALSA) was cut from $2,398 to $317.25. Black Student Union was cut from $6,844.55 to $141.75. Blacks in Communications was cut from $1,910 to $400 and Chinese Student Association was cut from $840 to $272.
BUDGET REQUESTS by four other groups were cut to zero. These groups included Alpha Rho Gamma, a club for jewelry and silversmithing students, which had requested $775; Architectural Student Council, which had requested $4,166.68; Art Education Club, which had requested $50; and the Undergraduate Biology Club, which requested $276.
The committee's rationale for cutting funds to clubs such as the Art Education Club was presented a number of times during the four-hour meeting.
According to Robin McClellan, Student Senate executive committee chairman, "We have so little money to spend. I can't find budding hobbies that are worth it." The same that affect so many more student on campus."
Three groups have withdrawn their requests, but there are still 54 organizations requesting
about $4,000. Senate, however, has only $16,067.3 to allocate in supplementary funding.
THE COMMITTEE cut travel expenses from both BALSA'S and Black Student Union's requests because of Senate rules and regulations regarding for sending delegates to forums or conventions.
Other debate on these groups centered on the extent of their importance to KU students.
BALSA finally was recommended for $317.25 to
the minority law day program, the production of its
Minority Law Day program.
Black Student Union also was recommended to receive $141.75 for use in planning a big 8 Budget.
Debate on the Blacks in Communications request for $1,910 to aid in printing, publishing and distributing its publication, the Criterion, lasted almost an hour.
BIC INCURRED a 846 printing debt at the University Printing plant last week and had to pay $5,000.
According to the organization, it was paid off by advertising sold for this year's first issue, which has not yet been printed. The group says it has already run at increased costs of publication caused by inflation.
Bren Abbott, Senate treasurer, said, however, that if the group hadn't incurred the debt it would have had that money to use for increased costs, and that by allocating the funds the Senate would
He added that paying the past debts of student organizations would be a bad precedent to set.
Larriestree Baggett, a Finance and Auditing Committee member and reporter for the Criterion, said, however, that the debt had been substantially reduced, necessary improvements to continue publishing.
There was also extensive debate last night on funding the Chinese Student Association.

Slow salary increases could impair KU faculty
Staff Reporter
Worth said that without faculty pay increases to bridge the gaps, KU would lose good teachers and researchers, impairing the effectiveness of remaining faculty.
By CINDI CURRIE Staff Reporter
If faculty salaries at the University of Kansas continue to increase slower than the inflation rate and private sector salaries, the quality of education at the University will be affected, George Worth, University Faculty executive committee chairman, said yesterday.
A report written recently by Tom Lawson, a professor of Regents research officer, said that salaries are not up.
universities averaged about $1,000 less than th salaries at similar institutions.
Lawson presented the report to the Regents and formulated their budget requests earlier this year.
EVELYN SWARTZ, PRESIDENT of the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said that without a substantial pay increase, young faculty members could be forced to choose between teaching and supporting themselves.
"They're having to consider whether they can afford to do what they enjoy doing," she said.
John Conard, Regents executive officer, said that the salaries received by KU professors were cost-effective.

U.N. peace plea doesn't stop fighting
TEHRAN RADIO said yesterday that the commander of Iran's powerful navy told
BAGHAD, Iraq (UPI)—Iraq conditionally accepted yesterday a U.N. call for an end to its eight-day old war with Iran, but the iranians had also declared they would widen the war to other Persian Gulf states.
Iraq's special emissary, Ismat Kittani, telephoned Baghdad's response to a unanimous call by the 13-member U.N. Security Council "to refrain immediately from any further use of force." The official Iraq response is that Iraq must also deploy its security council 'calls if I ask does a U.N. spokesman said.
BATTLE REPORTS yesterday suggested the fighting was slowing down, but in a Tehran radio broadcast, Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Ali Rajai warned other Gulf states that Iran would consider them as being in a state of war if they did not stop helping Iraq.
Ayatollah Ruhablab Kohminei that his forces had complete control of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 40 percent of the world's oil must be secured to lighten their hold on the Strait of Arab waterway.
"Then they must accept the consequences of their aid to Iraq," Rajai said. "Responsibility for a future war, in which they are involved because of their policies, must be borne by the countries that are helping Iraq by air, on land and at sea by various means."
The commander, Admiral Afdal, said his ships were ready to destroy Iraqi naval units

"'sheilinger'' in the ports of other Persian Gulf states.
Tehran relayed the admiral's assurance that movement of commercial ships in the Persian Gulf was proceeding normally. Tehran also pledged that Iran's navy would not interfere as long as the ships stayed out of Iraqi ports by sticking to shipping routes.
BAGHAD AGAIN offered to end the war on terms that would end Iran's traditional dominance of the Persian Gulf. Tehran quickly reected the terms.
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein declared his country was willing to negotiate and accept peace.
But as a condition of negotiations, he said Iran must recognize Iraqi sovereignty over the Shatt al-Arab waterway, surrender three tiny islands in the Gulf of Moruz and grant "full democratic rights in Iran."
It was an apparent call for a degree of autonomy for Iran's ethnic minorities such as the Jafaris, who have long lived in
"They (the iranians) has to know their role as the policeman of the Gulf is dead and gone," Hussein said. "If the other side does not want to rescue it he is up to them to accept the consequences."
In Tehran, President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr pledged to carry on the war "until the last aggressor is driven from our territory." He also toured Hamadan air base to bolster fighting edge.
The son of Ayatollah Rubailah Khomeini said that Iran was determined to continue the war.
"Of course, we are not fighting Iraq but America," said HaJatjalatesma HaJ) Seyedu Nahm the superwoman. "What matters to us is saying No to the superpowers and 'No to force and oppression.'"
Poet captivates audience with singing, poetry
Staff Reporter
By PATRICIA WEEMS
The setting was comfortable and the audience was captivated by poet Allen Ginsberg's singing of "My Pretty Rose Tree," a song from "William Blake'Songs of Innocence and of the Experience Tuned by Allen Ginsberg."
Ginsberg played the harmonium, sang and
danced at the most night in the
Kansas Union Ballroom.
More than 300 people attended the reading, jointly sponsored by SUA, the department of English and the Kansas Commission on the Arts.
They sang "Troost Avon Blues," a song depicting life on a Kansas City, Mo., street. "Dope Fleiend," a scenario about drug use, and "The Blind Dog," a scenario, 'which talked about smoking and its vices.
In a duet with guitarist Steve Lerner, a psychologist from Topeka, Ginsberg played the harmonium, an organ-like instrument with reed keys.
Ginsberg read several books, including "Approaching Wichita," a story of his first visit to the city, "Empty Mirror," a poem he wrote in the early 1950s, and "Mind Breaths," a poem describing his physical situation in a brief meditation retreat in 1988 in Wyoming.
They played and sang several of Blake's poems, as well as some of Ginsberg's.
He also read his most famous poem, "Howl," a poem of the desperation and disaffection of some of the best minds of his generation, which had resulted in self-abuse.
Ginsberg also touched on the life of his poet father, Louis Ginsberg in his poems, "Don't Ginsberg Leave Me"

Money evades women's team
my ARNE GREEN Staff Reporter
Women's basketball at the University of Kansas, which has been ranked consistently in the national polls, has brought the University some fame but not much fortune.
Although it eventually could happen, it is unlikely that women's basketball will become a moneymaker or even self-supporting in the near future. Instead, women's basketball coach, said last week.
"The potential is there," Washington said, but there's a cycle involved, and money is the key.
"You have to have money to the necessary experience and exposure. We just don't have the money to direct toward publicity and advertising."
WOMEN'S SPORTS are funded by state money. Men's sports are funded by the KU Athletics.
Washington said interest in women's basketball had increased, however.
"In 1974, my greatest challenge was to get a precede of our games in the paper," she said. "Now we're ready to go beyond the newspapers."
The next step is to toilet people see the team play, either in onscreen or on film. Washington said.
'People at home are reading about us, which I
think is great," she said. "The trouble is that their reference point goes back to what women's sport were like when they played. They just had a lot of the high caller and skill of today's teams."
EVEN IF MONEY was available for television and radio advertising, it would not assure women's basketball of drawing well enough to break even, said Bob Marcum, athletic director.
"I think you have to follow the tradition of most sports," Marcum said. "It usually has been that they are not allowed."
Sid Wilson, sports information director, said television coverage of women's basketball was a vital source of interest.
"You have to make the general public aware that it is an exciting sport to watch," he said. "It is hard for a sport to be a success when it doesn't have a strong following at the high school level. Until a major network covers it, it will not be easy."
WASHINGTON SAID there had been interest in the team in other parts of the country. In fact, a group of bankers in New York is guaranteeing that Madison will play to play a tournament in Madison Square Garden.
"We will have the opportunity to play against Louisiana Tech and Rutgers, two of the top three teams in the country," she said. "We also are interested in the team to trip to Detroit, so there is interest in the team."
