Commission to sponsor weapons freeze vote
By DOUG CUNNINGHAM Staff Reporter
The Lawrence City Commission decided last night to sponsor a vote Nov. 2 on whether a nuclear weapons freeze will be imposed. Soviet Union should be endorsed
The vote will be held simultaneously with the general election.
The commission adopted the resolution after receiving a request from the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice, which included members attended last night's meeting.
The commission decided to sponsor the vote after directing the city staff to draw up a resolution setting three crievicities against voters of public opinion could be held.
An affirmative response to the nuclear freeze vote asks President Reagan to agree with the Soviet Union to immediately halt the further testing, production and deployment of nuclear weapons.
The nuclear freeze vote is not to interfere with the general election. City Manager Buford Watson said that in most polling places, a separate table for each person and their respective places, because of a lack of room, the table would have to be placed outside.
Members of the Coalition for peace and Justice have volunteered to staff the special polling tables and pay for ballot printing costs. They also have agreed to pay all other expenses except city overhead.
Members of the coalition have said they would welcome any volunteers

supporting the weapons freeze to assist them in stifling the polling places
The commission's resolution allowing the vote requires Mayor Marci Francisco to promptly notify Reagan and each member of the Kansas congressional delegation of the results of the freeze vote.
The commission did not agree on these criteria.
The three criteria for future votes of public opinion the commission decided to place in the resolution are the commission must unanimously approve placing an issue on the ballot; the issue must be one of legitimate local concern; and the vote must not interfere orderly conduct of the general election.

A 4-1 vote should be sufficient, he said.
"Requiring a unanimous vote gives one person too much opportunity to oppose."
Commissioners Barkley Clark and Don Binns said requiring a unanimous vote was best. The commissioners generally agreed all future questions should be handled in an impact on government, but Binns said this would be hard to determine.
In other business, the commission decided to place a moratorium on the future use of special assessments, until it decides on a new policy. The commission wants a new special assessment policy because it now is owed $417,000 in delinquent accounts on those assessments.
Undergraduates who were turned away at Allen Field House when they tried to enroll in Western Civilization classes also will be turned away from Wescoe Hall if they try to add the class before Friday.
Western Civ reserves space for seniors

Staff Reporter
A limited amount of space will open up in several sections because of money downed in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, James Seaver, chairman of the Western Civilization program said yesterday. The money will be used to hire four more instructors.
Because of a shortage of Western Civilization classes, the department is reserving new space for seniors until 1 p.m. Friday, after which undergraduates may try to add.
However, a shortage of classes is not the only problem caused by the department's 50 percent budget cut last semester. Saer said that supplies such as computer mice and laptops have been cut by 90 percent so that teachers could keep their phones.
"It's a great help and we're very appreciative of the monies given to us," Saver said.
"The whole process of discussion between the teacher and students is so important that we have not given up our telephones." Saeed said.
"Most of the exams will have to be written on the blackboard. We're not

IS PORNOGRAPHY DEFAMATORY?
While conceding that "obscene material is unprotected by the First Amendment," Chief Justice Warren Burger, the author of the Supreme Court's opinion in Miller versus California, defined such material as that that 'which, taken as a whole, appeal to the prudent interest in sex, which portray sexual conduct in a patently offensive way, and which, taken as a whole, do not have serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.'
in a sometimes brilliant dissent Justice William Douglas claimed that "Those who enter newstands or bookstalls may be offended by what they see. But they are not compelled by the State to frequent those places . . . the idea that the First Amendment permits punishment for ideas that are 'offensive' is as astounding." Neither of these distinguished jurists concerned themselves with the substance of pornography. To Susan Brownmiller, author of *Against Our Will*.
Pornography is the undiluted essence of anti-female propaganda. Yet the very same librarians who were so quick to understand the method and purpose behind the mighty propaganda matrix of Hitler's Third Reich, the consciously spewed-out 'Semitic fascination' for sexuality, have come up with the final Solution, the very same librarians who, enlightened by Blacks, searched their own conscience and came to understand that their tolerance of 'nigger' jokes and portrayals of shuffling, rolling-eved servants in movies perpetuated the degrading reality of white men's oppression. The Black oppression—these very same librarians now fertily maintain that the hatred and contempt for women that find expression in four letter words used as exelentes and in what are quantally called 'adult' or 'erotic' books and movies are a valid extension of this darkness.
in an effort entitled "The Propaganda of Misogyny," which can be found in a book entitled Take the Back Night, Beverly Lace Belle says: "Propaganda, most simply defined, is psychological manipulation of the public by powerful, often invisible elites for the purpose of the furthering of a particular ideology. . . Pornemography is the propaganda of misogyny, . . . it establishes ideologically that women exist solely for the sexual gratification of men."
In another piece from the same book, Ann Jones claims that approximately three out of five “police chiefs,” a gender that抑郁 leads to crimes of violence against women, are unaware of her actions.
Irene Diamond, another contributor to Take Back the Night, notes that:
The President's Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence concluded in 1969 that on the basis of its research, media violence can induce persons to act aggressively, and yet the Commission on Obesity and Pornography has found that the use of pornographic material is highly promote antisocial behavior. The violence commission's report confirmed the accepted liberal credo that environment is an important determinant of human behavior, while this relationship was rejected by the Commission on Obesity and Pornography. A social-learning (initiation) model was developed to explain the impact of violence in the media, but was not applicable to the impact of pornography.
In an interview conducted by Laura Lederer, the editor of *Take Back the Night*, Dr. Judith Bax-Aka explains that:
Taboos (sexual taboos) are broken by the use of advertising techniques and slick tricks, which playboy, Penthence, and Hustler have learned from the major marketing industries of this country. . . Hardcore pornography is like any other marketed product—it needs to be repurposed periodically to stimulate flagging sales. We have made women easy and accessible targets for sexual violence, so there are final taboo leaves to break—children and incest are the last. . . For instance, a recent edition of *The Magazine of Child Abuse* reports that nearly eighty accounts of adult-child sex (the children being from eight to twelve years of age) in the first quarter of its pages. The issue then moved on to incest, which it has coily familiarized under the title "Home and Family Say."
*Playboy* is an outstanding success in the sale of products. *Playboy* knows that the exploitation of women's bodies is what keeps men buying the magazine. *Playboy* is selling a way of life, and its way of life is not love and heartbreak. It sells love of commodities—and women and children are regarded as commodities.
As women get societal rewards for offering themselves as sexual objects, we communicate and receive the message that a 'real woman' is one who will take off her clothes at the drop of a hat, who will perform sexually, who is 'ready any time', who will sell (or rather nenhere) herself. We can be proud of our culture but it is important to an accepted part of our culture. And if the culture encourages her to be a sexual object, that's what she will be.
Chief Justice Burger felt that "it is neither realistic nor constitutionally sound to read the First Amendment as requiring that the people of Maine or Mississippi accept public depletion of conduct found tolerable in Las Vegas or New York City" and suggested that obscenity be determined by "wonder the material goes substantially beyond customer expectations for a tender and candid manner." In contrast, Douglas also proposed a government regulatory attempt as "an ominous gloss on freedom of the press." Both ignored the delicatenary nature of pornography.
This Play-by-journal inspired cultural devolution has resulted in the production, distribution and promotion of motion pictures like Snuff and Nazi Love Camp being categorized as "work. Snuff, an effort depicting the disenbemowment of women, was advertised as "The Bloodiest Thing That Ever Happened in Front of a Camera" by poster on which a woman's body was cut into pieces by a pair of bloody scissors. Radio ads for Nazi Love Camp promised "Women beaten, women tortured, and more." . .
Of Playboy magazine she has the following opinion:
I share Adrienne Rich's confusion when she confesses to being unable to "understand why men who think of themselves as seekers of a new sensitivity, as humanists, are nonvolent activists, as would-be transformers of the human condition—why such men are not actively and vocally appalled at pornography...pornography is about slavery. To oppose pornography requires (only) that we connect culturally glorified images of women with more traditionally recognized forms of political enslavement."

In response to the off-advanced claim (which Dr. Bat-Ads describes as "a lie") that the sexual revolution has sexually liberated woman Dr. Bat-Ads says:
Joe Van Zandt, assistant director for the program, said about 80 students had been turned away during enrollment. The study found that percentage of them were seniors.
"If I don't get a class, I don't graduate," said Katie Schuster, Topeka junior, as she stood in line with eight students who were waiting to change sections. She said that when she enrolled, nothing was available
sure whether we can give the final in
the usual way. We hope we can."
John Marks, a graduate teaching assistant, said he paid for the photocopying.
About 25 to 30 seniors had enrolled by 2 p.m. yesterday, said Sue Schumock, the secretary who was handling the enrollment changes.
Van Zandt said the deans in the college office said they managed to find
more money for the department this semester. The money taken from the Western Civilization's budget last semester was given to the history and philosophy departments to finance department would be willing to teach Western Civilization.
Seaver said, "If the economy improves, our situation will too. If we have another budget cut, it could be disastrous."
Each Western Civilization 104 and 105 instructor teaches eight sections of each class. Van Zandt said there were 50 fewer sections this year.
Marilyn Brady, a graduate assistant who teaches a special section on women in civilization, was worried about the quality of her class.
"There was tremendous pressure to take any class available," she said, "so
"It's really affecting the people who cannot get classes. I hear all sorts of horror stories from people who can't get it and need it."
Jackson Hawks, a graduate assistant who has taught Western Civilization at various universities, said that in the past he has given a five- to six-page handout to his classes. This semester he is giving out a one page handout.
I'll have people in there who aren't really interested in it.
The shortening would hamper the students' education, he said.
"I put out a last minute appeal to 50 of the faculty and got 10 to teach," he said.
Get Ready For Fall At
Seaver said that the honor sections of Western Civilization, 114 and 115, had not been affected as much as the rest of the program because they were taught by regular faculty, who are not paid any extra for teaching the course.
