Union beer sale defended in state
By MARY ANN HUDDLESTON

A proposal to allow the sale of beer in student unions generally is supported by the student body presidents of the six state-supported colleges and universities, according to a Kansan survey taken yesterday.
Four of five members of the Board of Regents who were surveyed declined to say whether they favored the proposal, although one said he supported it. The Regents must approve the proposal before it can become effective.
The student body presidents make up an advisory board to the Regents and are researching the proposal by contacting student union officials, administrators and students. Debbie Haynes, student body president at Wichita State University and vice president of the school's hoped to present the proposal to the Regents at their October meeting.
Walter Hiersterain, Shawnee Mission, was the only regiment who said she had guarded Scooter's faction. Shawnee
However, Hiersteiner said he wanted to hear the attitudes of the students.
Elmer C. Jackson Jr., Kansas City, Kan., regent, said his decision would depend on what he heard from the ad agency and on what the lieutenant was thinking.
"It will be liberal in my thinking," he said. "the administration thinks it beneficial, the government to it."
Dou Oblander, student body president at Emporia Kansas State College, was the only student surveyed who refused to comment. He said he preferred to wait until the advisory board had discussed the proposal further.
According to Haynes, the proposal to sell beer in the student unions would be applied.
However, Bernard Franklin, student body president at Kansas State University, said K-State wouldn't have consumption of beer in the union at all. He said K-State was asking to be allowed to have beer on campus or at campus functions, which must be approved by the university board permitted in specific, designated areas of the residence hall he said.
Rick Lathi, student body president at Kansas State College at Pittsburg, said he
thought that if beer was allowed on campus it might as well be sold there.
Lathi said that Pittsburgh State residence halls were allowed to have 3.2 beer and that beer was allowed in the student union if brought in.
Haynes said she favored the proposal because it would allow for better control of the beer and the students. She said it would make her job easier, but also for cleanup costs when beer was served.
Glee Smith, Regent from Larned, declined to express an opinion on the matter before it came up for a vote but he said he expected the issue to be controversial. He said he thought the policy should be the same for all schools.
"In matters of this type, uniformity of policy is important." he said.
Prudence Hutton, chairman of the Board of Regents, also declined comment because the proposal hadn't been discussed. She said the Regents hadn't been asked to put the issue on the agenda for the September 18th meeting of the State College Coordinating Committee, which includes regents, administrators and students, to study it.
Class funds low; parties popular

Members of the Board of Class Officers have learned they may be facing a rough turn.

Figures released last week indicated that the number of seniors purchasing the $12 discount coupon on enrollment plunged from 605 in 1984 to 565 in 1985, class a treasury of $6,060. Half of that money will pay for the senior regalia; a 14 percent member jersey for each card-carrying senior.
Class organizations exist in a precarious position, John Hall, junior class president.
Friday, the junior class spent $1,638 for a class party, leaving $292 in their treasury.
Sophomores are planning a party, but their exact use to pool their party efforts with other students is unknown.
But according to Steve Clark, assistant director of the Kansas University Alumni Association and class organization adviser, the card sales picture does have its good
Although they are organized for services to the undergraduate of the University of Kansas, they can be only as active as their treasuries allow. Hall said.
"But when you find someone who didn't buy a class card and ask him why, he says. Well, they never do anything," he said. "It's a vicious circle, he said."
Both the junior and sophomore classes recorded last year's enrollment rates (all).
For nearly two hours the council assumed the recommendations made by the
Thirty-two more juniors bought $6 class cards this year bringing the number of card holders to 382. Sophomores buying $5 class cards increased by 35 students over 1974's figures.

have to enter. Employees
SEVERAL GRADUATE STUDENTS criticized the report as being vindictive
Clark said he thought part of the reason for the increase in junior and sophomore class card sales was the intensive publicity campaign carried out by the class officers during the summer and throughout enrolment.
He said the regalia party was tentatively scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday at Allen Field House, although some of the regalia hadn't yet arrived. Until the numbered suitcases were ordered early last summer, are received, the date of the party is in doubt, he said.
Junior officers did with the same all the spring 1975 sophomores, Clark said. And to supplement that approach, he said, both classes handed out leaflets at enrollment.
Every student listed as a freshman last spring received a letter from the sophomore class officers during the summer, he said. The letter explained the class's goals and urged the student to buy a class card, he said.
Lack of publicity could have been the cause of the low senior card sales, Richard Coulson, senior class president, said Monday. A campaign to recruit more card holders will be a topic of discussion at next senior class officers' meeting, he said.
Traditional senior class activities like the regalia party and HOPE award selection are continuing unaffected by the low class card membership. Coulson said.
creases. He said he thought the increased $4 last year) would decrease demand.
Another reason for the low sales could be the new purchasing procedure, Coulson said.
Ellen Reynolds, executive coordinator for the Graduate Student Council, said she was happy with the results.
He said he thought students unfamiliar with the new system wouldn't have bothered to determine how it functioned in the basile of enrollment.
Claark said he thought the juniors and sophomores were getting a good deal this year, because of their regalia items. For the first time, he said, other classes are the first to receive the juniors will receive a thermal mug and the sophomores will receive a special T-shirt.
Clark said 1,228 freshmen bought class cards. Freshman class officers will be required to attend.
Ed Rolfs, University of Kansas student president, said he would strongly recommend to the Regents that beer sales be made legal in the Kansas Union.
REYNOLYS SAID she hoped the council's resolution would have some influence on the commission to change several of the recommendations and to substantiate its views. But, she said, she hadn't had much cooperation so far from the commission.
reynolds said she had been promised earlier yesterday that a member of the commission would be present at the council meeting. But no one showed up, and he hadn't received an notice before the meeting that a member wouldn't attend.
Embry's review is critical of the instruction report, particularly in the area of graduate instruction. His review says that students are underestimated as vague, ineffective and futile.
She said that she had talked with Rofls and other members of the commission before to explain the Graduate Student appointment, but that the results had been fruitless.
Furthermore, the resolution asks that whatever proposals appear in the final report be applied consistently to all in-house graduate students or faculty members.
Graduate Council critical of report

Ed Rolfs, student body president who organized the Commission on Quality Instruction as part of his campaign platform last year, was criticized. Everyone wanted it to improve, but several persons said, but Rolfs was ineffective and harmful.
The council requested Dennis Embry, Lawrence graduate student, review the commission's interim report when it was presented. The committee presented his review at the council meeting.
A resolution strongly criticizing the Student Senate's Report on the Quality of Classroom Instruction was approved last week by a meeting of the Graduate Student Council.
By a vote of 15-3 the council voted to send it to a town hall code to the Senate's Commission.
The commission will meet tonight to finish its proposals to be presented to the Senate.
The council's resolution demands that the instruction report be returned to the commission for further research, information and substantiation of its proposals.
THE COUNCIL's Resolution critiques two points. The resolution says the council is indignant of the report's implications that assistant instructor (AI) and teaching faculty are being unfairly punished. The council says that the report compares the subject of graduate instruction
The resolution also states that the council is concerned that specific proposals made by the commission harm, rather than enhance classroom instruction at the University.

Fuel shortage, higher prices plague KU
By RODNEY HOFFMAN
Despite conservation efforts, energy
gap remains to go away at the
University of Kansas.
Federal Energy Commission representatives have indicated a strong possibility of natural gas service interruptions this winter for large consumers such as the University, Max Lucas, assistant to the chancellor, said yesterday.
If that happened, Lucas said, KU would be forced to rely on its reserve supply of fuel oil to generate steam for the heating system.
In January 1974, KU was forced to switch to fuel oil for four days at a total cost of $11,855. The fire for heating by natural gas during that period would have been $1,875.
Bill Salome, vice president and general manager of Kansas Public Service Gas Company, said he anticipated that gas service to KU could be reduced six to eight times per year. That winter is colder than normal, he said, service could be reduced even more.
Lucas said KU had a油 oil reserve capacity of 90,000 gallons, about a 24 day supply. The availability of fuel to replenish the supply has improved this year, he said.
Lucas is chairman of the Energy Study Task Force, which is developing an energy conservation program and studying energy sources for the University.
According to Lucas, the task force was formed because, although fuels other than natural gas were available, rising energy costs and additional burden to the University budget.
The electrical bill for fiscal 1976 is projected at almost $1.8 million. Lucas said.
"We are faced with rising costs," he said,
"even though we are conspiring less."
The electrical bill for May was $42,000 higher than the bill for the same period at year ago, even to 120,000 fewer kilowatts of electrical power were used.
Lucas said that the University's current energy conservation program could be called successful but that it needed to be expanded. He said the task force would meet today to approve the final draft of a plan to expand the program, would deal with, each building, on acorns.
Lucas said the energy conservation guidelines probably would be announced by Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, later this month.
Two options Smith has studied involve using coal instead of natural gas.
One plan would involve building a coal gasification plant, which would convert coal to gas that could be burned in the present boiler system. A second plan would use a coal-fired boiler system, he said, in which coal would be burned to generate steam.
One member of the task force, William Smith, dean of the School of Engineering, has been studying alternative energy source for KU.

According to Smith, the most attractive alternative energy supply would be a solid waste incinerator that could be used to generate steam. He said a system of burning solid waste from the Douglas County power plant could pay for itself in six or seven years.
Both of these plans would require one or two acres of land to store and at least 10 feet of fence.

Smith said he was primarily considering plans that could be implemented soon because he expected that within five years it could be available only for residential use.

A solar energy farm probably wouldn't be a very feasible. Smith said, because of other costs, the farm is too expensive.
Accident death
KU student killed,2 hurt
One University of Kansas student was killed and another was seriously injured in a two-car accident in north Lawrence yesterday at about 5:30 p.m.
Dead is 22-year-old Mark T. Galluzzo, Dead is junior, who was the driver of one of the cars. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Lynn D. Leban, 18, Lawrence freshman, one of the passengers in the car driven by Galluzzo, was listed in critical condition at the KU Medical Center.
The other passenger in the Galluzzo auto was 18-year-old Helen Froliw, Lawrence freshman, who was admitted to Lawrence Memorial for observation. A hospital spokesman described her condition as guarded.
The driver and lone occupant of the second vehicle involved in the accident was Clifford N. Harvey, 29, Overland Park. The third person, an accident, according to the Lawrence Police.
The Police said the Galluzo vehicle, a late-model Volkswagen, was westbound on Second St. and pulled out in front of the turnpike to northbound on the turnpike access road.
The accident is still under investigation, according to the police.
