Appeals court to hear cases at law school
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals begins three days of cases at 9 a.m. today at the KU School of Law.
Today through Wednesday, several three-judge panels will hear cases that are part of their regular docket. The entire court will sit at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday to be heard in Kansas man who contends his defense from fire marshal to fire chief violated his right of free speech.
The court, which usually meets in Denver, occasionally meets in other places in its jurisdiction, which covers Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming, said Al Johnson, associate dean of law. The court was brought to the University of Kansas by arrangement with Michael Davis, dean of law, Johnson said.
Among the judges are James Logan, former KU dean of law, and Deanell Tacha, former vice chancellor for academic affairs.
The hearings will be at the Frank L. Snell courtroom in Green HIll. Sessions begin each day at 9 a.m. to open to the public as space permits.
Ex-Justice to speak about Constitution
Former U.S. Supreme Court justice Arthur Goldwell will speak on "Constitutional Faith," his reflections on the Constitution on its bicentennial, at 4 p.m. Wednesday at 104 Green Hall.
At 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, Goldberg will take part in a mock case with eight KU law students acting as associate judges. Other KU law students will present arguments on a prayer-in-schools case that the U.S. Supreme Court will hear this year.
KU Democrats plan to poll students
The KU Democrats will conduct a straw poll tomorrow and Wednesday to measure student support of Democratic candidates vying for the party's nomination in the 1983 presidential race. The poll will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Wescoe Hall.
Results will be announced at a meeting of the KU Democrats at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Kansas Room in the Union.

Kansas City Times' editorial cartoonist Lee Judge spoke Friday to about 90 people at Stauffer-Flint Hall.
Cartoons by Judge controversial intent
By MICHAEL MERSCHEL
Lee Judge admits that his cartoons aren't usually too friendly. But Friday, the Kansas City team kept his crowd laughing anyway.

Judge explained that he made his cartoons, which attack everyone from Ronald Reagan to Ted Kennedy and everything from religion to his own newspaper, as controversial as he could.
"There's a real tendency right now in journalism to go towards just kind of bland and be nice and don't make anybody upset," he said. "This is not a theory I favor. I think that it kind of turns people off eventually. In fact, it thinks it's good business to be controversial."
Judge, cartoonist for the Times since 1981, lectured, cracked jokes and showed slides of his cartoons to 30 people at Stauffer-Flint Hall.
"It's just hard to help and convince editors and publishers to just suck it up for six months and find out that it's true."
Judge's fondness for controversy has caused him problems in the past.
After dropping out of college and working as a mannequin-dresser and an artist for an advertising agency, Judge started drawing editorial cartoons part-time in 1976.
In 1978, he was hired as a fulltime cartoonist by the San Diego Union. Because the paper's editors
and publisher were conservative and Judge's favorite targets were conservatives, Judge was fired in 1980, he said.
Eleven months later, Judge was hired by the Times. He still can't be as free with his cartoons as he would like, he said, although he probably has more autonomy than most cartoonists.
"I don't know of any newspaper anywhere that really, really believes in the First Amendment," he said. "I mean, we pay lip service and believe all of belief in it. We do out after it ends, wife, and you'll find out how quickly the First Amendment goes down the tubes."
During the speech, Judge also showed cartoons that never made it into print, such as one drawn after the death of Kentucky Fried Cheese blower Col. Sanders, showing a foot kicking a bucket of chicken.
"Editors exist to edit," he said. "They're going to edit, so give them something to edit."
Despite occasional disagreements with his editor and a $27 million lawsuit over one of his cartoons, Judge plans to stay in court. Though he's been approached by larger papers, he said after the speech
"I have absolutely no desire to live in those places," he said.
Judge's appearance was arranged by the KU chapter of the Society for Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi.
Task force to focus on AIDS education
"I think that first we should dispel the myths more than anything," said Kathryn Anderson, chairman of the cultural affairs committee, during the task force's first meeting last week.
The Student Senate Task Force on AIDS has decided that it will concentrate on educating KU students about the disease before focusing on the formation of campus AIDS policies.
The nine-member task force was created in August by the Student Senate Executive Committee and was allocated about $700 for things such as videotapes and duplicating paper.
inform students about the disease.
Task force, chairman Michael Foubert said the group would try through the use of mail, videotapes, advertisements and speakers to
By a Kansan reporter
Foubert said the task force was concentrating on AIDS education programs and would be planning to form another task force that would address policy issues.
Several task force members plan to attend a workshop this semester designed to train volunteers how to work with AIDS victims.
Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, said the task force probably would consider such issues as privacy, restrictions on staff and faculty members with active cases of AIDS and the protection of students, staff and faculty with active cases of AIDS.
Ramaley said the task force also would launch an educational program.
She said the task force probably would consist of two main committees — a University-wide committee and a Lawrence campus committee.
KU fund raising starts in spring

Corporate money will be up for grabs among three Kansas state universities during upcoming fund-raising events, officials at the universities say.
The University of Kansas and Wichita State University will begin $100 million fund-raising drives in the next year, and Kansas State University has begun planning a major fund-raising drive.
Todd Seymour, president of the Kansas University Endowment Association, said there probably would be little conflict between universities, but there always would be some competition.
Each university will ask for donations from its own alumni and from corporations around the United States. The universities won't be competing for alumni money, but they will compete for corporate donations, university officials said recently.
But the competition won't be too intense, he said.
"Basically everyone knows both schools (KU and Wichita State) have campaigns. Seymour said, "People want an idea where they want to donate."
Seymour said corporations donated to the university program that would benefit them most. Competition arises when corporations must decide which university has the program that best serves their needs.
Wichita State's drive, called Commitment to Excellence, will begin Oct. 10. KU's campaign, called Cam-State, will start next spring. KState's team is not organized yet and should begin in a year or a year and a half.
"Corporations will support the Un. whenever they have an interest in it."
our doing something better,' Seymour said.
Rusty Andrews, director of communication at K-State, said different corporations had different interests.
For example, because the petroleum industry isn't doing well right now, petroleum companies might give money to a department or school at the University that could help that industry, Seymour said.
Andrews said K-State first would contact industries that already had a DAC.
"We work to create the best possible match between the school and the corporation," he said. "We'll try to make a strong case to get across that we want to be the best possible choice. The decision has to be made by the corporation."
Seeking money from corporations through alumni is a common practice among universities.
"We have alums with a warm feeling in their heart for Kansas State." Andres said. "An alum at a corporation can get us in the door."
Bob Harkosk, vice-president for development, alumni and university affairs at the alumni who were highly ranked at companies could help his university.
"Obviously, if we have the chairman of the board as an alum, then he can wield pretty wide influence," Hartook said.
Harook said it was not unusual for a friend to give to give more than one university.
Often the corporations that alumni work for will match a donation base.
ASK backs Regents stricter standards
Staff writer
By BRAD ADDINGTON
TOPEKA — The Associated Students of Kansas' Legislative Assemble yesterday supported a move to tighten admission standards at state universities.
The assembly supported a recommendation by the state Board of Regulatory Affairs to a Committee that encouraged what it termmed enhanced open admissions.
The Regents advisory committee is composed of the student body presidents of the seven Regents institutions. The committee recommended the stricter admissions standards to the Regents earlier this month.
The recommendations for admission call for a minimum high school grade point average of 2.0 and completion of the Regents recommended preparatory curriculum, except for the foreign language requirement.
The Regents recommended preparatory curriculum consists of four years of English, three years each of math, social studies and natural sciences and two years of a foreign language.

Martie Aaron, KU campus ASK director, said the student advisory committee's requirements would place a great demand on high schools to develop new curriculums and to counsel students.
modate them.
Mark Tallman. ASK legislative director, said the Legislative Assembly usually convened once a semester to discuss its position on issues concerning Regents universities.
About 45 delegates from the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Wichita State University, Pittsburgh State University, Fort State University and Emporia State university attended the assembly.
The Legislative Assembly only discusses general concerns. The ASK Policy Council discusses specific pieces of legislation, Tallman said.
Five delegates from each university serve on the Policy Council, which is tentatively scheduled to meet Nov. 8 in Manhattan.
The ASK assembly passed a resolution that supported the recommendations. The ASK resolution also emphasized that the state should consider how stricter admissions would affect tuition and state financing.
Each Regents university is represented in the Legislative Assembly by one delegate for every 1,000 students that the school has. KU has the greatest representation with 24 delegates.
