New group aligns straight people with gay rights
By Nathan Olson Kansan staff writer
A recently formed group, Straight Allies, is trying to unite straight people who are committed to gay rights to increase tolerance and understanding.
Being straight doesn't mean being intolerant.
The group was founded a month ago by Lorraine Moore, librarian at Watson Library. Moore, who said she had many gay friends, was approached by students from LesBiGay Services of Kansas.
Moore said people curious about gay people are often labeled as gay. Some of those people would rather talk to straight people about gay issues, she said.
"A lot of people want to learn about gays, but some would feel easier talking to straight people," she said.
"Many straight people are very supportive of gay rights but have had no way of expressing it or of doing anything about it," Moore said.
"Straight Allies is a group of straight students showing support for the gay and lesbian community at KU," she said. "Lots of us have gay friends and want to help."
Keesha Morton, the group's acting president, agreed.
booth during National Coming Out Day on Tuesday. In addition, the group hopes to take over LesBIgayS OK's Safe Zone project, which creates areas on campus where gays are welcome. There are Safe Zones at the Student Assistance Center and Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, both in Strong Hall.
Morton, Overland Park sophomore, said many types of support were being considered, including educational programs, speakers and films. The group will have an informational
The group's creation was welcomed by Eric Moore, president of LesBiGaySOK and Lawrence, senior.
"For years we've had many straight people ask us what they could do to help," he said. "But until now, there hasn't really been a well-defined role for them."
"We want people to know that it's not just the queers saying this all the time," he said.
Moore said it was important for straight people to tell others homosexuality was alright.
While there is no national organization such as Straight Allies, similar groups are springing up around the country. At the University of Missouri at Columbia, a group called Straight but not Narrow has existed since the spring.
"Our concept is to allow heterosexual students interested in this to become involved," she said.
Teresa Molina, president of the group, said her goal was to educate the university community.
Straight Allies, which has 13 members, meets 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays on the second floor of Watson.
Bus passes to cost more
By James Evans
Kansan staff writer
Riding the bus will be a little more expensive next semester.
The Student Senate transportation board voted to raise the student bus pass price from $50 to $55 per semester. The non-student bus pass price will increase from $60 to $70.
The $5 and $10 increases for KU on Wheels is needed because of financial difficulties caused by several factors, said Grey Montgomery, member of the Senate transportation board.
Montgomery said last year was not a total success for KU on Wheels.
"Our numbers have been down," Montgomery said. He said the mild weather could have played a factor in the number of students that bought bus passes.
The University of Kansas
"If we continue with this trend, we will go into the red," Montgomery said.
Montgomery said 6,227 students and non-students paid to use the KU on Wheels buses this semester. The $310,000 received from those people and the $332,000 from Student Senate helped pay for part of the $1,014,000 contract with the Lawrence Bus Co. The rest of the contract will be paid for by next semester's bus pass sales.
Montgomery said KU on Wheels ran a deficit last year, but was able to cover it with money from a reserved account. He said the price increase was necessary to ensure the reserve funds were not totally depleted.
Ron Vanderslice, coordinator of the transportation board, said another reason for the increase was because of an inflation increase. He also said that the cost of running the buses had gradually increased.
Vanderslice said another reason for the increased cost in service was the distance the buses had to travel to pick up students. He said bus routes had branched out farther into the community as more and more students had moved further away from campus.
Bob Grunzinger, member of the transportation board, said part of the cost increase was from the fuel the buses were using.
"We spend as much as we can afford to get the cleanest fuel," Grunzinger said. He said KU on Wheels tried to be environmentally responsible.
KU on Wheels also will be looking for more funding from the Student Senate to alleviate some of their financial difficulties, Grunzinger said.
CAMPUS
Resolution supports sex class
Student Senate passed a resolution last night that said a human sexuality class, taught by Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare, should be offered during both the fall and spring semesters.
The resolution said that the class was one of the best-taught and most popular classes at the University. The resolution also said that as many students as possible should be allowed
to take the class.
The School of Social Welfare, which offers Daily's "Human Sexuality in Everyday Life," decided to begin offering the class in only the fall semester each year beginning this year.
The non-binding resolution, brought forward by the University Affairs Committee, said that David Shulenburger, vice chancellor for Academic Affairs, should make all efforts to insure that Dalley's class was available to students.
Sherman Reeves, student body president, said the resolution was necessary.
"It's one those things that the administration needs to hear from several groups," he said.
Shulenburger was unavailable for comment yesterday.
Student Senate rejects money for Pinch magazine
Student Senate Wednesday night killed a bill to finance Pinch magazine for the year.
Will Averill, Pinch staff member, said the magazine would not be able to publish next semester without the funding from Senate.
Pinch, a satire and humor magazine, asked for $4,700 from Senate to finance publishing two issues for the spring semester. Pinch representatives wanted to print 1,500 copies of each issue.
Averill said the Senate was not treating alternative media fairly.
"I think they're making an attempt to get rid of as much of the alternative media as they can," Averill said.
The alternative magazine was the second alternative media bill to be voted down by the Senate. Last week, the Senate finance committee voted down a bill to finance Who'sinations. The magazine offered independent perspectives on intellectual and cultural expression.
