Parking board splits over X-Zone dispute
Several members of the Parking anc Traffic Board have threatened to resign if the controversy over reserving X-Zone parking spaces for athletic contributors isn't resolved, Phil Frickey, chairman of the board, said yesterday.
Frickey said one faculty member had presented a prepared letter of resignation and several others had stated they would resign from the board.
He said the members had agreed to withhold their resignations at least temporarily until SenEx could help the board resolve the issue.
The decision to reserve 440 parking spaces in X-Zone was made last week by Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor. Shankel said the spaces reserved in south X-Zone were re-imbursement for a $27,000 cost of resurfacing and relighting S-Zone.
In A LETTER to James Seaver, chairman of SenEx, Frikey has asked SenEx to investigate the decision. According to Frickey, the University justified the decision by citing a ruling made many years ago by former Chancellor W. Clarke Wescow.
Wescow gave the Kansas University Athletics its license to Xzone for its major contribution.
This ruling, Frickey said, was used to
the decision to allow 448 spaces in
southwest Texas.
Frickey said the ruling by Wescoe was made before the adoption of the Senate Code, which states that the Parking and Traffic Board "shall develop policies, procedures and specific regulations for the control and management of the parking of
vehicles . . on property under the control of the University."
Thus, Frickey said, any policy of requiring limits may be in violation of the code.
On the other hand, the Parking and Traffic Regulations state that "the chancellor of the University, or his designated representative, is empowered to create, modify or pre-empt parking and other controlled areas of the campus."
Frickey said he wondered whether the "designated representative" was the Parking and Traffic Board. If not, he asked that board carry out its duties under the code?
The loss of revenue in the Security and Parking department's budget, he said, was another possible violation of the regulations.
Shankel said there would be a possible loss of from $1,500 to $2,000. He said he thought the revenue would be made up by new parking fine procedures.
John Novotny, executive director of the Williams Fund, said there were about 1,100 Williams Educational Fund contributors. Williams contributors get free parking spaces if they contribute funds.
Frickey said parking spaces available for the Williams Fund contributors totaled about $12.8 million.
Novotny said he didn't think there were that many parking spaces.
The University has a terrible parking problem, with the convenience of good parking well matched with the convenience of good parking.
HE SAID that in a business situation it was necessary to please heavy contributors (e.g., lawyers) and not just the customers.
forget all the other people that parked there, though.
There are at least 400 cars, Novtay said, that take up parking spaces in the zones that aren't owned by contributors. He said of the people who have bandicated people parked in the zones.
Frickey said he observed that the south X- Zone parking lot was only half full at the K-
JOHN BEINNER, student body president, said Frickey the letter indicated some widespread discontent with the decision. He also proposed for the University to set, he said.
John Myers, director of admissions, said a number of people expressed displeasure with the practice.
Beisner said he and Frickey had talked with Shankel and they tried to clarify their views.
He said many people were unhappy because they couldn't afford to pay $100 to the Williams Fund and didn't they know that it was driving X-Zone parking to $100 contributors.
Frickey said the Parents' Day football game parking was a bad situation because the parents were invited and then didn't have adequate places to park.
Seaver said the parking issue hadn't yet been raised in a SenEx meeting. He said he didn't know how SenEx would approach the issue.

The killing of a can
A Pepsi-Cola can run out of Hoe Audortium on Friday morning screening "Don't drink me, don't drink me!" But the strains that were chasing it had no mercy and continued the chase, even when the staff were very busy. The straw was stabbed by one of the straws. When the can was finally
cornered near Strong Hall, it gave in and sighed. "Drink me." The scene was staged to dramatize the play "Peasant Throdes," which opens Thursday. The can was played by Carol Poulson, Hinsdale, Ill., junior. The straws was filled by Carol Poulson, Hinsdale, Ill., junior.
Rehnquist debates privacy conflict
Senate funding plan needs study, athletic heads say
The directors of both men's and women's intercollegiate sports don't want to take any chances on misinterpreting a proposal to the way students help pay for athletics.
Athletic Director Clyde Walker and Marian Washington, assistant athletic director, both had no comment yesterday on the proposal, which may result in the Student Senate's dropping of funding for athletics.
Washington refused to comment until she could learn more about the proposal.
Walker said he didn't know whether football and basketball ticket prices would be raised if the Senate decided to stop financial support of athletics.
"I can't speculate what ticket prices will be," she said. "We need to do a lot of dressing up谜题点。
Part of the money the Senate gives to men's athletics is a support for student sports.

price of student tickets would be set at one half the price of nonstudent tickets. That would result in a $2.50 increase for student season football tickets.
The proposal to change the way student money is paid to men's and women's athletics was submitted last week by Lewis Gregory, chairman of the Senate's Finance and Auctioning Committee. It contains the athlete funding for student funding at bect entirely.
If the Senate decides to drop athletic fund, student activity fees will be reduced because the part of the fee usually set aside for athletics won't be needed, and you don't. The activity fees for a fulltime student is $12.0. If that, $3 is allocated to athletics.

If the Senate continues to support athletics, one part of the allocation would be divided between men's and women's athletics, Gregory said.

Conflict between increasing demands for privacy and increasing governmental regulation of daily life is inevitable, accrue a growing body of law to associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Rehnquist gave his second speech in the Judge Nelson Timothy Stephens Lecture series Friday night in a crowded Kansas Union Ballroom.
He said there was an inverse correlation between increasing governmental regulation and the amount of privacy citizens had.
"(This inverse correlation) is a natural, if not an inevitable, consequence of the vast expansion of the role of government," he said.
Rehnquist said one of the basic questions that must be answered by any organized society was the extent to which the government regulated the lives of its citizens.
Every civilized society places limitations on methods of enforcement, he said, but if they are not followed, the law is broken.
A second basic question, he said, is what limits should be placed on the government in its efforts to enforce laws enacted by the legislature.

inevitable make the enforcement of the law, which we have on the books more fearful.
Making the law enforcement more difficult would lessen "the pressure to obey the law which is felt by the not inconsiderable number of us who are law abiding, not so much out of a sense of moral duty, but out of being caught if we transgress," he said.
"With respect to that not inconsiderable class, diminution in the effectiveness of the sanction will decrease the disposition to obey the law." Rehman said.
There is a ground for the fight for privacy that would neither undermine effective law enforcement nor corrode respect for the law or the willingness to obey it, be said.
Almost $1,400 for scholarships raised at fair
The Yankee Tank Fair, sponsored by the Pearson Integrated Humanities Program, yesterday raised about $1,400 for scholarships for some Pearson students.
The money will be used for partial scholarships for some Pearson Humanities students' trips to France later this year, Mrs. secretary of Pearson College, said.
More than 1,000 people attended this year's Yankee Tank Fair, which included a two-man sawing contest, a spike driving contest, and an indoor grease-out catching contest, she said.
Exhibits of pottery, butter churning, wool dyeing, spinning and weaving were also at the fair, she said, plus an old-fashioned bake sale.
The fair was from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Yankee Tank Ranch near the Clinton Convention Center.
A corollary of such an effort would be attempts to repeal existing regulatory laws, such as those prohibiting marijuana and other drugs. Another dubious such attempts would be successful.
"The fight for retention or expansion of privacy may be waged in the legislative halls, not in terms of measures which would increase privacy but detract from effective law enforcement, but head on against the threat of a rise in regulation of our lives." Rebeph said.
This approach of libertarianism, philosophy of individual freedom, "has the capacity to lead us out of a bad world."
"Whatever one may think of the merits of the proposals of decriminalizing certain offenses such as marijuana use, they do have the merit of getting the government out of certain areas of private life at no cost to those who are prosecuted. The law off the books rather than make the law more difficult to enforce." Rehnquist said. "This approach of libertarianism, the

Judge short on comments at KU press conference
Brequist declined to comment on many of the questions and said he didn't think it appropriate for a justice with life tenure to comment on controversial issues.
Supreme Court Associate Justice William H. Rehman fielded questions ranging from the propriety of the pardoning of former President Richard M. Nixon to the state of obscency laws during a news conference Friday in the Kansas Union.
He wouldn't comment on Nixon's pardon, amnesty, the reversal of the conviction of L. William Calley, repercussions of the Nixon pardon toward the concept of justice, or his reasons for disqualifying himself from the recent Waterate tapes case.
Rehquist did comment on the concept of mandatory retirement of justices, and said,
"I'm inclined to be a little skeptical of the wisdom of mandates retirement, judged by how much they have cost."
"Justice (Louis) Brandeis served until he was in his early 85, and Justice (Oliver Wendell) Holmes served until he was 92, and Justice (Joseph) as having been outstanding justices."
Rehqum, who was appointed at 47—a relatively young age for a Supreme Court justice—said he was awed every Friday at the conferences, when the nine justices met to make decisions on cases they had heard that week.
When asked to discuss the status of ob-
servant laws, Reimquist said he wouldn't
be surprised. "It's very important."
