Panel hears campaign gripes
The five-member Student Senate Elections Review Board yesterday reviewed campaign election audits and numerous complaints filed against the Momentum and Consensus coalitions. But the board, meeting in a two-hour closed session, declined to announce the results of action taken at the meeting.
Elena Brito, chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Elections, said the board would formally announce its meetings at a meeting 5 p.m. tomorrow.
HOWEVER, MEMBERS of both the Consensus and Momentum coalitions confirmed yesterday that the board voted to assess a $50 fine against Momentum for violating campaign rules.
Terry Frederick, the Senate's administrative assistant, filed the complaint against Momentum, a firm based in New York, which includes on its campaign audit a $25
fee it paid for a registered trademark on the Momentum name.
FREDERICK SAID HE called the Kansas secretary of state's office and was told that Momentum's trademark application was still pending. He argued before the Review Board, however, that the registration fee be added to Momentum's audit.
Frederick said the board fined Momentum $50 for the violation, but Brito declined to comment on the incident.
In addition, Frederick and Momentum vice presidential candidate David Teopteren said the board heard three other complaints. Two, however, were dropped before the board could take action.
TEPOORTEN FILED A complaint charging that Consensus excluded gasoline payments from its campaign audit. The Review Board ruled in favor of Consensus, he said.
College Life stresses relationships
By VERONICA JONGENELEN Staff Reporter
College Life came to the University of Kansas last night, complete with the message that students may not know as much as they think about relationships
The event, publicized for the past two weeks simply with the slogan, "College Life is Coming," stressed the importance of Jesus Christ in the lives of students. Over 300 people filled the Kansas Union Ballroom to see a variety of skits and to hear Warren Calwell, a former college student who now travels with the program, speak on "Three Threats to Relationships."
The program travels to college campuses throughout the United Stes, using music, humor, and the message of Jesus Christ to reach students.
CALWELL SAID, "I'm here because
CALmwell is life made of relationships. The quality of those relationships will determine the quality of your life."
Calwell cited rising divorce rates as indicative of three common problems
The first problem stems from structural changes in society and in the family, he said. Family ties are not as important as they once were. As a result, there are fewer models for children to look to for guidance.
"Why is it that we can begin relationships with such high expectations, with such high hopes, and after meeting them willing to throw in the towel?" he asked.
"And TV is no help. General Hospital gives you no hope for developing a cure."
MEN AND WOMEN enter into relationships with different expectations and motivations, he said. Men often date for status or attempt to find out how much they can get from the woman.
Women, for their part, look for friends in their relationships, he said.
The solution to this problem lies in taking the threat and turning it into an asset in the relationship, he said. This can be done in two steps.
First, both partners should realize that differing expectations exist, he said. Then they should learn how to anticipate and express these expectations.
The second problem that spells doom for relationships is the idea of a 50-50 performance ideal. In this partnership, it amounts to 30 percent of all that is needed.
"THIS IS THE relationship where performance is based on feelings," he said. "The only problem with a 50-50 relationship is that it never works.
"As long as individuals operate under
50-50 relationship, they're
doomed."
The third problem begins with improper perceptions of reality. Calwell said.
"When they come, they blow us out of the water," he said.
Many couples fail to prepare for the challenges and problems of relationship, let alone their success.
Underestimating the self-centeredness of man, and the capacity of that self-centeredness to hurt, compounds the problem. he said.
In the early parts of a relationship, emotions run high and cover up this self-concern, he said. Later on, the problem begins to show.
Downtown group seeks role in redevelopment
THE SOLUTIONS TO the last two problems stem from one source — Christ, Calvell said.
"God said, 'Because of that self-
centeredness, you deserve to die.'
This is not the case."
The Downtown Improvement Committee, which assisted the Lawrence City Commission in selecting a developer for the proposed redevelopment of the downtown area, will meet at 1:30 p.m. Monday at City Hall.
The future of the improvement committee has been in question since Sizeler Realty Co. Inc., Kenner, La., is as developer of record for the project.
A CITY OFFICIAL said yesterday that the improvement committee would discuss the role it should play in the next 90 days, the time Sizer has to present a basic design proposal and financing plan for the project.
"I am convinced, men and women,
that Jesus Christ saves lives."
Dean Palos, a planner in the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Office who has worked extensively on the development of this pre-provement committee also would discuss the schedule Sizerel presented during a public meeting last week.
Pete Whitenight, chairman of the improvement committee, said work on the proposed project had gone well so far.
"I feel like it's been an open and above-board process and I think we've made a lot of progress," he said.
The City Commission, which origina-
lly authorized the committee, will dis-
cuss it.
THE COMMISSION was scheduled to discuss the role of the committee earlier this week, but deferred such discussion.
Several city commissioners have said, however, that the improvement committee should work closely with the commission in reviewing Sizeler's proposals for redevelopment of the downtown area.

Six killed in top floor of burning house
Bv United Press International
JERSEY CITY, N.J.—A fire engulfed a three-story wood and brick home yesterday, trapping and killing a pregnant woman, her four young children and her boyfriend on the top floor.
The building had been ordered vacated and was condemned in March by Municipal Housing Court Judge Kevin Davis, The New York Times said.
The paper said the building, owned
by the father of one of the victims, had been condemned after an inspection that found numerous fire and safety violations.
Turned back by the flames at the top of the second floor landing. Laurie and another neighbor returned to the street in time to see "a big cloud of smoke" coming from the room and infant "After that we didn't hear or see anything," she said.
Eight relatives of the victims escaped from the second floor unharmed.
"YOU COULD HEAR the kids crying and screaming but there was nothing we could do," said Ossie Laurie, owner of a nearby laundromat whose efforts to save the victims were thwarted by a "wall of fire."
Killed in the blaze were Myra Reeves, 26, her children Vernon, 7, Lamont, 6, Michael, 4, Steve, 2, and her boyfriend Pertiller, 33.
Laurie, who sounded the 7:14 a.m. alarm and rushed into the house before
firemen arrived, said the woman victim, clutching an infant in her arms, was leaining out a third floor window and yelling "Help me, help me."
FIRE BATTALION CHIEF Vernon Nacion said units that responded showered the burning structure with
thousands of gallons of water before the fire was under control at 8 a.m. and rescuers could get to the top floor to remove the bodies.
Fire officials said the blaze apparently started on the second floor and spread upward quickly, but its exact cause was not determined. A space suit was not adequately ventilated, but is bound near the origin of the fire.
THE LITE BEER ALL-STARS STRIKE AGAIN.
When famous bowler Don Carter invited 23 Kingpins to the First Lite Beer Bowling Tournament, it seemed like a great idea.
It was the guys who drink Lite Beer from Miller
because it tastes great against the guys who drink it because it's less filling. And once again, the All-Stars proved they're in a league by themselves.
After a lot of pins (and quite a few Lite Beers) went down and the smoke finally cleared, the score was
tied, with only one man left to go.
Rodney Dangerfield.
All he needed to win it was one pin. A klutz situation, Rodney, in top form, got the same amount of pins as he gets respect. None.
Teammate Ben Davidson felt Rodney deserved a break, or at least a fracture. Billy-Martin didn't argue with that. Jim Honochick couldn't believe his eyes. Neither could Marv
Throneberry.
So the First Lite Beer Bowling Tournament ended in a draw. And the argument over the best thing about Lite was left unsettled.
But there was one thing everyone agreed on. It was truly everything you always wanted in a bowling tournament. And less.
