THE UNIVERSITY DAILY COMFORTABLE KANSAN Radar detectors gain popularity The University of Kansas—Lawrence, Kansas Vol.87 No.13 Thursday, September 9.1976 See story page nine Chon chon Choon Lee, no relation to Bruce Lee, gave a martial arts demon- traination along with some of his students Tuesday night in Robinson gymnasium. The demonstration was attended by 100 people. Interest in the martial art served by local karate clubs, academies By CHRIS RIGGS Fall Writer It was Joe Dijia in the comic strips, Bruce Lee in the movies and Kung Fu on television, but it was Choon Lee amazing everyone Tuesday night. Lee, a sixth-degree black belt and head instructor of the KU Tae Kwon Do Club, gave a demonstration, along with several of his instructors and students in Robinson Gymnastics, of the ancient art of Tae Kwon Do. It is a 1,300-year-old Korean form of are demonstrated his strength and physical conditioning to 100 potential students by breaking four boards held by them. The board was also shown their board-breaking abilities. KARATE IS A Japanese form of self-defense that stresses blows by the hands or feet to the vital areas of the body. Judo and jujitsu emphasize balance and leverage, using an opponent's weight and strength against him. The grunts, groans and yells also can be heard at Lawrence's Gou-JuKur Martial Arts Academy, the KU Karate Club, the KU School of students taking judo classes at KU. Jeff Grady, Lawrence freshman and instructor of the judo class offered by the University, said becoming an expert in any of the martial arts was difficult. "I know guys who have been practicing 30 years and don't consider themselves ex-terminators," he said. ALL SEVEN OF the instructors contacted agreed that their form of self-defense wasn't dangerous if it was properly supervised. Guy Hargegreaves, instructor of the Gujju Academy, and he thought that karate was the best way to learn it. Karate is relatively new in the United States and is the most scientific form of defense, Hargreaves said, but it also can be considered an art form. Bill Stihl Jr., another instructor at Gejou- yu, said the academy also taught oriental language. "OUR WOMEN'S classes are not aimed at cornering the whole body of karate techniques," he said. "We try to teach them simple techniques and how to use an umbrella or anything immediately available as a weapon. "We try to stay away from mace and whistles because I don't think an attacker is going to wait for her to go through her purse." Stahl said there was a difference between the academy and martial arts clubs. The clubs may have up to 100 students at each school, but only about 60 of them to 10 students at a time, he said. Joel Colel, Lawrence graduate student and an instructor at the Tae Kwon Do Club, said most of the students and teachers who entered competition entered the person-person competition. He said there were many people who entered tournaments for blood. "That's why I enter the form com- partment," he said. "It allows you to kill an op- position." Form competition shows the movements of a fight without an opponent. By CAROL HOCHSCHEID Senators question legality of student elections in fall Staff Writer The Student Senate last night spent almost three hours in debate at its first meeting of the semester, but came to few conclusions. Following the meeting, Teddie Tasheff, student body president, said the prolonged discussions were "just some housecleaning that had to be done." In the middle of a report from the Elections Committee concerning the schedule for fall elections, a question was raised as to whether any student Senate elections in the fall. DISCUSSION centered on the need to fill the eight Senate seats open for election and the weakening effect an illegal election could have on the Senate's credibility. It was decided that the Elections Committee should examine the Senate Code and the Constitution, in order to determine the legality of a fall election before any money was spent to nobilize it. The Senate has the authority to amend its Rules and Regulations to include fall elections. But trying to bypass or change the Senate Code "could be a very long process," Steve Owens, student body vice president, said. The committee will report its conclusions to StudEx. A special meeting of the Senate may then be necessary to decide whether to cancel the elections scheduled for Oct. 6 and It took only a few minutes for the Senate to uphold Tashseff's veto of a $250 allocation from student activity fees to finance the KU pompon squadr's trip to Las Vegas to participate in the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telehealth last week—a trip the University has funded by funding from the University administration and the KU Athletic Corporation. EIGHTH EEN REPLACEMENTS for Senate seats that were vacated over the summer were announced by the Elections Committee. The new Senators were selected from a list of runners-up in last spring's election. Randy McKernan, chairman of the Finance and Auditing Committee, moved that action on the bill be postponed in order to allow it to take effect. He had already returned from the trip. His motion was accepted unanimously, allowing *Tashef*'s first veto to stand. THE SENATE approved a $4,500 allocation of student activity fees for the purchase of a new copying machine for the Senate office. The request was submitted by Kevin Flynn, executive secretary of the Senate. Mao dies TOKYO (AP)—Mao Tse-tung died today, the official Chinese news agency Hsinhua announced. Hsinhua said Mao, the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, died at 12:10 a.m. Peking time, or 11:10 p.m. CST yesterday. Announcement of Mao's death was delayed until 3:30 a.m. CST today. Mao was 82 and had been in failing health for many months. Hishinau said Mao's death was due to "the worsening of his illness and despite all treatment," I thought medical medical care was given him in every way after he fell ill." January intersession to feature 60 classes After a successful first intercession early this year, the Office of Academic Affairs is planning another Jan. 3a Kansas City, Kan. He said that most intercession classes would meet two or three hours a day, Monday About 60 classes will be offered in the between- semester session, Jerry Hutchison, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, said yesterday. The classes will carry one to three hours credit. Schools and departments are deciding what classes to offer, Hutchison said. A complete list of courses will be announced soon. Enrollment for intermission will be Dec. 6-10. Students will enroll at the Office of Admissions and Records win- dowing. FEES FOR intermission will be $16 a credit hour for undergraduate classes and $22 a credit hour for graduate classes. Hutchison said courses would be offered by virtually all schools and departments, and some classes would be con- tributed to other institutions. Some classes, particularly those offered for three hours credit, will start before Jan. 3, Hutchison said, and others will start in August. Intercession classes at the Lawrence campus will probably be in one or two buildings to conserve energy, he said. During the first intercession, classes were confined to Robinson Gymnasium and another class was confined to Johnson Gymnasium if students would have to be heated. Support courses that usually fill quickly during spring and fall enrollments. Hutchison gave studio art courses as examples, in which enrollment is usually strictly limited, restricted to art majors during regular semesters. HUTCHISON SAID classes offered during intersession generally fell into one of four categories: perimental teaching methods the first time offered - Courses that a department doesn't plan to offer during regular semesters. —New or unique courses that might require ex- - Intensive study courses, in which a narrow topic is examined in detail. Hutchison gave a class of intensive study of psychological test instruments that was offered in the first intersession as an example. The course attracted professional psychologists and received favorable evaluations. ABOUT 600 students participated in the first inter-session, twice as many as had been expected. The inter-session received enthusiastic evaluations from students and faculty. Hutchison said the high enrollment that more students stayed in Lawrence between semesters than most administrators had thought. He said few of those students attended classes merely to make up credit hours. He told the Senators that buying a machine would be less expensive in the long run than renting one, as the Senate has done in the past. In addition to being a necessary part of Senate office operations, Flynn said, the machine was often used by other campus organizations. IN OTHER legislation, the Senate approved a bill requiring that all Senate-funded publications be submitted to the Senate office. This will insure that all funds received are newsletters and other publications are used for that purpose, proponents said. Jim Cox, treasurer, reported that the Senate treasury had $47,778.9, in addition to the $17,150 Senate controlled reserve fund and the reserve fund is available for spending. But McKernan said he expected that the Senate wouldn't allocate more than $20,000. The eighteen new Senators selected by the Elections Committee are: LIBRAAL ARTS AND SCIENCES Boh Huffman, Alfred L. Dodds, and David A. Ganssargen City KAN, senior, and Greg Morteau, Salina Jamaica.

Dorothy Baldwin, brief registration clerk for Douglas County, called the results excellent, and said that 33,000 new voters had registered. voters can register at the Douglas County Courthouse between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., or at booths like the one at Wesco, which will be open today and tomorrow. Voters may register at the main entrance of the Kansas Union or in Hasinger Hall today, or on the second floor of Summerfield Hall tomorrow. Baldwin said several groups, including the KU Young Democrats, the KU Young Republicans and the League of Women workers whoicipating in the voter registration drive. STUDENTS CAN change their address within Douglas County if a move has occurred since the time of their original registration, but registration can't be canceled at any of these voter registration stations. To cancel registration the voter must go to the courthouse and say that he is registering somewhere else. He may, however, re-register in another county or state and a card will be forwarded to you, saying that the voter has re-registered. Once the county has received the cancellation card from the new region, county officials will pull the person's name from the Douglas county files.

After she did this, the musical was changed from "Greasepaint" when Breel Is Alive and Well Living in KU. She had to be designed and it had to be done quietly. What might have been a hectic experience for someone else turned out to be an enjoyable one for Linda Finn, the new set actor in drama at the University of Kansas. "I loved it," she said. "You find in a technical field that it's the only way to survive. I feel that the design is better because of it." Finn designed the set on time and enjoyed coping with the pressure. IN TREE WEEKS. Fimm has settled into her new job at KU and said she has found it "I really enjoy it here. Each day I go home a little more excited about what we're doing." What Finn is "doing here" is designing the sets and props for four plays this semester and supervising the set design for five shows. He will be working on the plays "Loot, Loot." Finn said she worked closely with the directors in coming up with the set design for a play. At the production meetings for each play, the director presents the designer with a concept. The designer's job concern will work in which that concept will work. {"Cosi Fan Tutte" and "The Marvellous Adventures of Tvl"} The circle theme is represented in Finn's set design. She said the set was composed of a group of circular platforms, connected by a rammo to form a giant ring. “Brel” is a series of individual songs that, when put together, create a pattern leading to the psychology of man,” she said. “It becomes a very circular thing.” FINN SAID that the concept in "Brel" is a circular concept of emotion. "Bret has different aspects of life represented in the circles. These are all unified into a giant circle. The small circles and tiny circles jump about because we do." Firn said. Because of the concept of emotional intimacy in "Brel," the set must be designed to bring the action as close to the audience as possible. Finn created this effect by designing a set that slants toward the audience and pretrudes from the stage. THE SHOW HAS a tendency to cry out contempt. "Pun is said, 'Not for audience attention.'" See FINN page five Theater designer Linda Finn, who is designing sets and props for the drama department at the University, says that the job of a designer isn't just to build a set, but to find out what the script is.

A tight budget makes you more likely to succeed.
