Senate can afford 18.5% of requests
The Student Senate can fund only about 20 percent of the total supplementary budget requests filed this year, and is appointed by Abbott, the Student Senate treasurer.
By 5 p.m. Friday, the filing deadline, 56 organizations had submitted budget requests totaling $89,903.33, Abbott announced yesterday.
The Senate has only $17,337 available to allocate, which means only 18.5 percent of the requests can be satisfied. In determining allocations, Mike Gordon, the Senate finance and auditing committee co-chairman, said, "the committee would have to rank groups and their requests in order of
benefit to the maximum number of students."
Last fall, 21 organizations were allocated $19,610.34 in supplementary funding, and about $45,000 was donated. Another organization were denied funding completely.
"First, it was well publicized how much money we had for funding," he said. "And two, a lot of groups didn't pay the money in the spring as they had requested."
Gordon listed two reasons for the increase in requests this semester.
Gordon said that last spring only the money from the student organizations' fundraising efforts were used.
Before, he said, the Senate has voted to use unallocated money to help fund education programs in spring, Gordon, said, some groups did not receive as much as they wanted.
There is $34,674 in the unallocated
space. The $29,500 to be spent on
supplementary funding,
The unallocated fund is composed of 37 cents for each full-time student plus any funds not used during the past year. The amount in the payment, which was higher than expected,
Speaker blasts monolingual America
By CINDY CAMPBELL Staff Reporter
Rose Lee Hayden, staff director of the International Communication Agency, told a group of students and administrators yesterday evening that America was known abroad as the land of the spider and the home of the monolingual.
Hayden said that of the 23,000 secondary schools in the United States, nearly 20 percent did not offer instruction in any foreign language. Only 16 percent of all high school students are enrolled in such courses.
Fewer than one college student in ten studies a foreign language, she said.
Hayden spoke in conjunction with the two-day business meeting of the International Programs Council of the Mid-America State Universities Association. The conference ends today.
program activities and encourages exchanges among the seven MASUA member schools: KU, University of Missouri; University of Nebraska, University of Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma.
The council coordinates international
Hayden said that the United States was "losing it" in terms of world leadership and that the "overall response of the American educational citizens for effective coping in an inter-connected world is woefully inadequate."
America needs to know more about trest of the world because the United States will be "increasingly at its mercy," she said. U.S. citizens need a chance to be made able about other cultures and governments so they can oversize their own.
"Unless some major adjustments are made," she said, "The United States may well lack the basic human resources to steer its ship of state
through the uncharted interdependent currents of its next one hundred years."
One way to avert a national "nervous breakdown," she said, is to educate children in the diverse forms of cultural expression.
Speaking out for what she called "international education," Hayden called Americans "over-fed, physically overweight and esthetically starved."
These programs must be made to work at the campus level, she said. U.S. colleges and universities are in need of more language incentive grants.
She defined international education as an umbrella term for international studies, foreign language, area studies and study abroad programs.
Hayden recently joined the International Communication Agency as director of its United States Government Coordination Division. She has served deputy director of the Peace Corps for Latin America and the Caribbean.
Protege of Smock warns students of 'Lake of Fire'
Two weeks ago, it was Jed Smock. Yesterday, it was one of his converts.
Cindy Lasseter, 22, a former Florida University journalism student, held court yesterday afternoon outside Flint Hall, bringing the same religious message that Smock brought two weeks ago—that most college students are simmers he headed for the "Lake of Fire."
Lasseter, in fact, said she was saved by Smock's ministry. Her conversion came during her sophomore year at Florida. Smock pointed to her while in the middle of a song. "I love you," she said of your sins, you wicked woman."
When Smock revisited the Florida campus the next year, Lasseter said, he took her "out to eat and to talk," she recalled. Later she became a Christian in the
parking lot of a local hamburger establishment.
Before her conversion, Lasseter said, "I was just an ordinary college student at Florida."
Yesterday, the reminders of Smock were obvious, right down to the red-letter King James Bible she held in her right hand.
Her clothing, although quite different from Smock's trademark suspenders, was nevertheless vaguely reminiscent of the Old West. She wore an ankle-length skirt and broad-brimmed hat.
Lasseter, who worked for a time for the Alligator, the Florida University student paper, later "sort of dropped out" of school after her junior year to full-time work. She has held 36 campuses in 19 states and had appeared before numerous local congregations to give her testimony.
KU police had no suspects yesterday in connection with the rape of a KU officer in her apartment, her Jaiyawk Towers apartment, KU Police Capt. John Mullens said yesterday.
On the Record
The woman was able to give only a limited description of the rapist to police, Mullens said. He said she described the rapist as a black male with a medium build, possibly with a beard or a mustache.
Lawrence within 13 days, occurred at about 4:30 Sunday morning when therapist entered the woman's apartmentthrough an unlocked front door and attacked her on the living room sofawhere she was asleep, Mullens said.
Mulens said the man was unarmed, but overpowered the woman, hitting her.
The woman was treated for cuts and bruises and released yesterday from Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
The rape, the third reported in
Old cars await sale on West Campus
Old KU police cars never die. They are around West Campus waiting to be sold.
This summer, the KU Police Department put its four old, light-blue police cars out to pasture and replaced them with four white 1980 Chevrolet Malibu.
The old police cars, 1977 LTD IIIs, will be sold to the public when the KU business office files a notice with the state contracting office in Topeka, according to Jerry Payne, state contracting officer.
Payne said each car would be stripped of its emergency equipment and markings and would be sold to the highest bidders.
The cars are far from new, KU Police
which has been driven 80,000 to 80,000 km.
However, Mullens said they could be used as a second family car or for hauling things. He said some people might want them for spare parts.
The problem with the old cars, said Mullens, was that they became too costly to maintain as the miles added up.
Mullens said the maintenance costs on the four cars during two months last winter were equivalent to the price of a new car.
The new police cars were bought by the state for about $6,000 each, he said.

COSMiC COALESCENCE
Where does science fiction end and reality begin? It's all in the mind's eye. Be it the creative imagination used to produce Star Wars, The Black Hole, and The Empire Strikes Back, or the more scientific approach of hypothesis testing and experimentation with science fiction coalesce into reality with the advanced technology now being developed at a company called TRW.
It was the Defense and Space Systems Group of TRW who made possible the Viking Lander biological experiment which looked for life on Mars and the High Energy Astronomical Observatory Black holes in deep space. Professionals at TRW-DSSG are now involved in such impressive technologies as high
energy lasers, communications systems, plus other future projects still considered science fiction.
A company called TRW will be on campus...
