Students reorganize business fraternity following suspension
JULIE McMAHON Staff writer

The Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity is trying to reorganize at the University of Kansas after being suspended two weeks ago for failure to pay dues and not reporting to its national organization.
Francis Bush, chapter adviser and acting assistant professor of business, told four students at a meeting yesterday at Summerfield Hall that the national organization of Alpa Kappa Psi wants the KU chapter to become active again. Kenneth Hastey, central regional director of the fraternity, did not attend the meeting.
Bush said he must first determine who members were so that they could be contacted. Bush's list of 146 chapter members included names of those who have graduated. Bush was optimistic that there was a demand for the fraternity although its first effort of reorganization would be shaky.
He said the KU chapter had a debt
of more than $10,000 to the national organization because members had failed to pay dues in the past. But the national organization would help pay the debt if the chapter became active again, he said.
Bush said the chapter would have to be strict because it was on probation. The fraternity must have all meetings on campus, announce the meetings publicly and Bush must be present at the meetings. Also, members must observe rituals and take a test over the history of the fraternity.
The chapter will have 10 meetings a semester. Bush said the fraternity must also accept more women than it had in the past.
He said the success of the fraternity's reorganization will depend whether it can bring in speakers and take field trips in the spring semester. If the fraternity can show 20 active members by the end of May, the national organization may lift the probation.
Confabulation discusses topics
Faraway enthusiasts gather at science fiction convention
BY JULI A. WALZ Special to the Kansar
The seat reserved for Don Johnson remained empty all day.
Although he didn't show up, people still came from as far away as Tulsa, Okla., and Fort Worth, Texas, to attend Confabulation 87, a science fiction convention Saturday afternoon in Wescoe Hall.
About 50 people showed up.
Approximately 100 came last year.
The convention featured several panels, including one by writer Steve Miller and artist Mark Wallace, who work in the comic book industry. They spoke about comic books and their production.
Also, James Gunn, professor of
English, spoke about the history of science fiction.
Frank Brown, a specialist in computer artificial intelligence, presented a panel about his work. Margaret Arnold, associate professor of English, spoke on the role of women in science fiction.
In addition to the panel discussions, there were video, huckster and gaming rooms.
The video room showed science fiction films and British comedy shows throughout the afternoon.
The huckster room had five dealers. Tom Graves, owner of Kwality Books, offers science fiction books and magazines. One dealer from Overland Park sold
holographic jewelry and pictures.
About seven people were in the gaming room, and they spent most of the day playing Dungeons and Dragons.
At the end of the day, a small costume contest was scheduled. Those who didn't bring their own costumes could fashion them out of odds and ends in a room.
The winners in the juvenile category were a small red dragon and a princess. It wasn't clear whether the dragon had captured the princess or escaped both of them seemed shy about parading in front of an audience.
Many of the people who came said they thought it was a good convention
despite its turnout.
"It was a small but very nice con," Wallace said. "The panels were as well attended and they were seen at unusual conventions. I fourth that unusual and highly gratifying."
Thomas Smith, who came from Tulsa to visit friends and attend the convention, said, "It was a fun little convention."
it was worth the trip," he said. But others were not as pleased.
"It didn't exactly meet my expectations, but that could be because it's one of these small, local conventions," said Adrian Smith, Lawrence. "I guess you have to go to Chicago or places like that if you really want to see stuff."
