Police learn ethics at center
By DAN PARELMAN Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas: molder of doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists and policemen. No. 10259.
Students may not come to KU to learn how to load a gun in the dark or to learn when it is legally right to shoot a felon, but the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center in Hutchinson, administered by the KU division of continuing education, attracts hundreds of police officers and assistant dean of the KU division of continuing education, said recently.
EACH YEAR about 350 police officers attend one of the rigorous, eight-week sessions taught four times a week between the University and the academy.
Kansas law requires that police officers be certified for 320 hours of basic training within one year after being hired by a police department, he said.
Officers also are required under legislation passed by the Kansas Legislature last spring to take 40 teachers in depth in in-depth training.
ACADEMY courses range from instruction on when to shoot a person to updates on changes in state laws, Wolfe said.
Maynard Brazel, director of the academy, said the value of a human life often determines whether a police officer shoots an individual.
"If someone has gotten away and has stolen a 10-inch TV set, do you take a life for a TV set?" Brazeal said.
The academy trains officers to decide quickly whether to shoot friendly and enemy targets that are hard to hit. The Brazilian Brazeal said. Friendly targets include a woman carrying groceries and a photographer taking a picture.
ENEMY targets include men carrying broken bottles, knives and guns. To fool the officers, the instructors flash the target of a "mean-looking man." Because these men tend to hesitate before shooting a woman, Brazeal said.
Officers need to rapidly decide when to shoot. he said.
"I've had my cylinder turning on my weapon, which means the hammer was back, and didn't shoot," said Brazela, a former training officer for the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department.
Another necessary survival skill is knowing the right way to handle a situation, Wolfe said.

SAYING, "Shrut up, turkey. I'll do the talk," is an informal response to a person arguing a traffic ticket, as is saying, "Sir, what are you
Wolfe, who went through the basic training to become familiar with the academy, said officers needed to know when they are legally justified in shooting a person, as well as when they are morally justified.
The legality of shooting a felon has become blurred by a court decision over the summer that struck down the law. The judge said because it was vague, Wolfe said.
THE LAW stated that officers were justified in using deadly force to defend themselves or others from someone who officer believed was a felony.
However, the law did not distinguish between major felonies, such as armed robbery, and minor felonies, such as record pirating, Wolfe said.
THE ACADEMY needs to keep officers abreast of the law because it is not static, he said. If an officer is not aware of the law he could end up in
Another academy course, officer survival, is linked to knowing when and how to use a weapon. However, Wolfe said, there was more to officer survival than knowing about weapons.
"A lot of officers get shot making routine traffic stops," he said.
Budget analyst to visit today
By DIRK MILLER Staff Reporter
A legislative budget analyst will visit the University of Kansan today to "get the feel of" the University's 1983-84 season, request, KU officials said yesterday.
"I'm basically coming here to get more details to fill in the budget request," he said.
David Dallam, principle budget analyst to the Legislature's division of the budget, said he would be in Lawrence to get background information on KU's 1984 legislative budget request.
DALLAM SAID he already had checked out the figures in the budget, but now would try to get a realistic look at it.
KU's budget request contains three general-use budget proposals. Each proposal sets a different amount of funds for 1983-84. Dallam said.
The highest spending level was developed from guidelines requested by the Board of Regents. The other two were requested by Gov John Carlin.
Keith Nichter, KU director of business affairs, said the Regens guidelines would set the general-use budget figure at $104,259,366.
CARLIN requested that KU submit two additional spending levels — level
Senate leaders question funding hearings' need
By DON KNOX Staff Reporter
Although a Student Senate committee will begin hearing supplemental funding requests from more than 40 student groups next week, two Senate leaders yesterday questioned the need for those bearings.
The Senate office last week received $55,504 in fall funding requests from 44 campus groups. Last week, the Senate received $19,000, although it received close to $70,000 in requests.
But Loren Busy, co-chairman of the Finance and Auditing Committee, said yesterday that the supplemental fund had already probably outlived their usefulness.
"I suppose when we started funding groups in the fall, it was a good idea." Busy said. "But now I think we've created a monster."
THE SENATE, which allocates $52,000 to student organizations each spring, began fall funding hearings about six years ago, Busby said.
The supplemental hearings were designed to ensure that new groups and groups that missed spring hearings
could have a chance to receive student money, he said.
"It's a great thing to have in theory," said Matt Gatewood, Senate treasurer, "but to have a week of hearings in both the fall and the spring puts a strain on the Finance and Auditing Committee itself.
"It seems such a waste of energy." BUT GATEOEWD said that combining the two hearings during one session would streamline the funding process.
"There are always going to be some groups that form over the summer," Gatewood said. "But it would be a lot more difficult if we request a duration during the spring semester."
Fall budget hearings begin Oct. 5 and will continue for six nights.
Busy said yesterday that he was not sure how much the Senate would allocate this fall, although he sued the Senate less than the $19,633 funded last fall.
"Last year, it was decided to decrease the importance of funding during the fall." Busby said. "Essentially, many students thought that Senate had become a bank that just allocated funds."

One of the biggest differences in the Regents proposal and Carlin's two levels is the increase in unclassified and student salaries. Both of Carlin's proposals set the increases at 7 percent, but the latter has an increase of 9 percent. Nitcher said.

period of five years.
This graduate student concedes that "the death camps of Hitler will never be forgotten", but fails to see that this is why Israel will continue to courageously defend their country against terrorists and other marauding miscreants. The "international terrorist establishment" has "proven the international terrorist establishment's horrible tragedy" by refusing to recognize a nation which has successfully fought for its existence both within the confines of the U.N. and on the fields of Palestine.
Nitcher has set up an agenda for Dallam's visit which includes a tour of capital improvement sites on campus. Dallam said he probably would inspect the recent renovation of Watson Lakes and possibly the construction at Summerfield Hall, and the utility tunnel project under construction near Allen Field House.

When describing this massacre as a "brut injustice", this Iranian student says nothing about the equally despicable murders for which the cowardly Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the feverish Ayatollah Khomeini are responsible. Or does this individual hold that "God (who) is great and just" supports the suicide squads of the PLO and the firing squads of the Ayatollah before whom have fallen "many innocent little children, women and men".
Ward Zimmerman. KU budget director, said the $386,000 would pay for planning the library project, which
He said that two priority items on the request for campus construction were $720,000 for renovation of Bailey Hall and $145,000 for military near the Military Science Building.
BUT DALLAM said he probably would not spend a lot of time on the differences in the three proposals but it is clear that the need for increases in some areas.
He said he visited the Regents schools each year to review their budget requests. So far this year, Dallam has been to Fort Hays State University and Kansas Technical Institute and the University of Kansas Medical Center.
While virtually everyone shares this student's distaste for senseless slaughter, it's only fair to note that the land of Israel was not "unlawfully" acquired. In 1922 Great Britain received Palestine as a mandate from the League of Nations. Twenty-five years later the General Assembly of the United Nations (U.N.) approved a plan devised by the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine which divided Palestine into a Jewish state, Arab state, and a non-Jewish international administrator zone in order. On the very day—May 14, 1948—the state of Israel was proclaimed, it was invaded by the armies of five Arab states whose avowed purpose was to destroy this nation at its birth. Israel was responding to, not carrying out, unlawful activity.

A RESPONSE TO AN IRANIAN GRADUATE STUDENT
In the September 22nd issue of the University Daily Kansan one Reza Zooghi, an Iranian graduate student, deplores the recent massacre of innocents in Lebanon. The student wonders whether this "horrible event" occurred because the victims were "Palestinians, whose homeland was unlawfully taken away by the Zionist government of Israel?"
