Jeff Bartyles, Topeka junior, Chad Bryan, Wichita freshman, and Gabe Lloyd, Concordia freshman, protest KU's prohibition of beer on the Hill
Saturday's game will test new prohibition law

The University's new policy prohibiting drinking 32 beer on the Hill during football games with misdeployment is uncertainty from KU police vesterdav
Many students agreed that the policy announced Tuesday may jeopardize tradition and attendance at KU because of the policy, which police could be effectively enforced.
The policy will be in effect Saturday when Kansas plays Missouri. Administrators say the state should wait for a rule change.
police and asked them to pay closer attention to drinking on the Hill.
Police cannot report the names of students who break the University's alcohol policy because of a federal penalty against Mullens, KU police representative.
The Buckley Amendment enacted under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 states that university police departments cannot release names of students investigated or contacted by University police.
Jereme Day, Overland Park freshman, said he thought the policy would hurt the atmosphere at football
"I think the games will lose some enthusiasm, "he said.
games.
"I think it will break up a tradition," he said. "I don't think the KU football team will bring in fans by itself."
Jim Wells, Overland Park freshman, agreed.
Violations of the alcohol policy may be reported to the office of student affairs. Discipline may range from warnings and probation to suspension and dismissal.
No arrests were made on the Hill during games this fall, Mullens said.
The policy was changed because Lawrence residents who attended the games had complained about drunk fans on the Hill.
Pete Bockelman, Prairie Village junior, said it would be difficult for police to enforce the policy.
"I think it is ridiculous they made the ruling with one game left" he said.
According to state law and city ordinances, people who are 21 and older are allowed to consume 3.2 beer in the city except on public streets, sidewalks and in certain restricted areas of city parks, he said.
Senate ends semester with busy final meeting
By Blaine Kimrey
Kansan staff writer
Student Senate concluded its controversial semester last night with a barrage of lengthy legislation.
Everything from women's issues to campus lighting to multicultural center was covered at the Big Eight Room in the Kansas City area and ate's five and a half hour grand finale.
Gene Budig
Chancellor Gene Budig kicked off the meeting at about 6 p.m. with a plea for student activism during the 1992 state legislative session.
"The support of ASK and the students will be the key," he said.
Associated Students of Kansas (ASK) is a KU student lobbying organization.
Budig that cuts in KU's budget were beginning to hurt the University.
we're actually beginning to lose ground in very serious ways," he said.
During open forum, Amy Hyten,
Lawrence sophomore, spoke to Senate
about what it could do to raise campus
tousness about domestic violence.
"I think that it's very important that everyone in this room embrace women's issues as their own," she said.
After open forum, several pieces of legislation were presented:
**Scott Rutherford, liberal arts and sciences senator, presented Senate with a petition requesting that a multi-ethnic member be established in Hoch Auditorium.**
A petition is a non-binding piece of legislation.
"What we want to do is make this a serious issue for the administration," Rutherford said.
Senate passed the petition, adding to it a request that the administration
immediately establish a committee to begin research on the possibilities for
■ Students will be paying an extra $2 a semester in fees in the fall but campus lighting is worth it, said Alan Lowden, student body vice president.
Lowden and Kristin Spangen, off-campus senator, sponsored a bill requesting that Senate vote to increase student loan eligibility $100,000 a year for campus lighting.
KU facilities planning has made a commitment to match any money raised from the student body for light-ning money on lighting the year it is raised.
Lowden said that campus lighting now would be installed twice as fast as it would have been under the previous plan.
Lange said more campus lighting was needed for campus safety.
"More than women get mugged," she said. "It's a concern for all students."
Senate passed the bill unanimously.
■ Robin Morgan, author-in-chief of Ms. Magazine and author of Sisterhood is Powerful and Sisterhood is Global will speak at KU at p.m. Pcb. 28 at the Ballroom in the Kansas Union.
"I think she will appeal to a wide audience." Lange said.
She and Art Satterfield, graduate senator, sponsored a bill requesting that Senate allocate $2,745 for Morgan's $3,000 honorarium.
Morgan spoke at KU in 1972 and asked that women students take an active stance in achieving equality.
Two days later, on Feb. 4, 1972, the February Sisters took over the Center for East Asian Studies. Their action brought about changes for women at the University.
Senate passed the bill unanimously.
Jeanne White, the mother of AIDS victim Ryan White, also will speak at KU this spring.
Senate voted 33-5 to allocate $2,775 for her $4,000 honorarium.
She will speak at 8 p.m. April 2 at the Ballroom in the Kansas Union.

The American Cancer Society
today informs you quit smoking
today for a leaked leak.
Today marks the 15th anniversary of the Great American Smokeout.
Roger Barr, head of the Douglas County chapter of the Great American Smokeout, said that most smokers did not take a hard time taking the initial step.
"We're trying to provide that target date for smokers," he said.
Forming Awareness of Cancer
Through Students will have a table at
the Kansas Union to help smokers who
trying to quit must it through the day
Kristi Strain, Miami junior and FACTS member, said that information packets explaining how smokers breathe the habit would be provided at the table.
FACTS also will exchange candy for tobacco products and sell lollipops. Ann Sutherland, president and founder of FACTS, said that money made from lollipop sales would go to
the American Cancer Society for cancer research.
"A lot of the money will come back to KU Med Center in the form of grants," she said.
Strain said that FACTS had convinced kU administrators to try quit smoking today. She said the administrators would serve as mentors to students who wanted to quit smoking.
Danny Kaiser, assistant dean for student life, smokes a pack a day and is one of the administrators who has agreed to try to quit smoking today.
However, he said he was not happy about the prospect.
"I don't want to set any unrealistic expectations," he said. "I don't want to set myself up to fail."
Although it is a tremendous challenge, the potential benefits of quitting are worth it. Kaiser said.
Strain said that college students were prime candidates to quit smok ing.
Parking booth guard believes kindness is just a part of her job
By Shelly Solon Special to the Kansan
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is the third in a series of articles about some of the people who make the University work.
Maggie Sieber follows the rules.
In parking services booth station D at 131th Street and Oread Avenue, Sieber monitors campus traffic from 7:45 a.m. to 4:54 p.m. Monday through Friday. She is polite.
"Can I help you?"
"Pleaserememberto..."
But she also is serious
"These are the rules," she said. "We'd have bumper-to-bumper cars. If someone doesn't like it, they can call my supervisor."
She clicks her vehicle counter as buses, service vehicles and cars with the proper permits drive by. Her arm flies up as a car without a permit approaches.
She recalled a KU employee who kept driving through without proper permits. He refused to buy one. He said that because he knew the director. he
For about a year, Sieber has commuted from Eudora to the University of Kansas to manage her booth, regardless of whether classes are in session.
People generally are nice to her. But some get upset; some challenge her.
While guarding her post, parking booth attendant Maggie Sieber waves to a passing bus driver.
did not have to pay. Without arguing, Sieber notified her supervisor. She got his license number. The director called him personally. The employee had to get a permit.
She has fun with students, but they try to trick her
One student said that he had badly sprained his ankle and that he needed to park on camp. He put his foot up and showed Sieber. She saw the swelling and asked him to pull down his sock. He yanked a balled-up sock out of his sock and politely turned around.
Following the rules does not make Sister stern.
Being nice is important in the parking service, she
said.
If you get nasty with them and just tell them to get off campus, they'll come back and get you," she said.
Warmed by a space heater and surrounded by parking services memo, Sieber just does her job. A few weeks ago it was different, though. The phone rang constantly.
"My daughter is pregnant," she said in early November. "They (colegules) call every hour to see if I've heard from her yet, and if I'll need to leave my station."
Her daughter gave birth to an 8-pound, 6-ounce girl on Friday.
