Expires 5/31/69 Black Student Union elects officers President wants new appreciation for black heritage by Cynthia L. Smith Kansan staff writer Garth attended Shawne Heights, a predominantly white high school in Topeka. She said the high school separated blacks into two groups. Frenchette Garth, newly elected president of the Black Student Union, said blacks from predominantly white schools often lost their cultural identity. "There were the black-blacks and there were the good-blacks," she said. Garth, Topeka sophomore, said many black students had to blend into the white culture for acceptance "Then you come up to the University and because there is such a small number of blacks, you choose to associate with whites. Basically, you forget there are other blacks out there." Two percent of the KU student body is black. "It's important to get as much of the black population involved in the BSU as possible." Garth said. "It's good for blacks to know where their people are and converse with them on a fairly regular basis." Garth said a big part of the BSU's role should be to reintroduce black students to their heritage and introduce them to each other. and in order to be considered good blacks, and she said that was wrong. Garth said she planned to help with freshman orientation for black students and organize activities for the summer. Week. This would include introduct Garth, who ran unopposed, was elected Monday. The other new officers are Stacy Burtin, Kansas City, Mo., junior, vice president; Tina Weaver, Kansas City, Kan., senior, recording secretary; Tony Shivers, Kansas City, Kan., junior, correspondent; Brian Bissell, Neb., junior, parliamentarian; and Dwayne Watkins, St. Omaha, Neb., sophomore, treasurer. ing students to black faculty and staff. Lisa Thompson, Lawrence junior and BSU member, said Garth was a good choice for president because she was professional. "I think that's very important to her role in running this organization particularly," Thompson said. She added that because BSU was an umbrella organization, leading 27 other groups, the president needed to be especially organized. House OKs $577 million omnibus bill The Associated Press Most of the money, $357.6 million is for equalization aid for school districts and $4.4 million for aid to school districts that would lose money because of changes in the property values caused by reappraisal. The House vote cleared one of the remaining questions to advance the account. The Senate was to vote on it yesterday at noon. TOPEKA — The House approved, 98-26, and sent to the Senate, a $777 million compromise omnibus appropriations bill yesterday. There is also money in the bill for a property tax, circuit charges and other programs, a training commission and at-risk students. "I don't feel good about it because we have spent far more money than we should have," said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Bill Bunten, R-Topeka, after the House vote. However, he said considering school finance and a circuit breaker placed in the bill, the rest of appropriations would be cut but the rest would not. The bill sets aside $10 million from the state's general Last week, legislative research officials estimated that relief could cost anywhere between $14.9 and $66 million, but they revised their estimate downward to $8.4 million a week when revised property tax data became available. revenue fund for a property tax circuit breaker. The money will provide property tax relief for homeowners who earn less than $34,000 and whose property taxes exceed than 50 percent under reappraisal and classification. The bill sets aside $1.75 million for implementation of community corrections programs, most of it earmarked for financing new programs. It also creates three positions for the Kansas Sentencing Commission, created this session to come up with recommendations for prison sentences for various crimes. Under the bill, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation will remain in its headquarters for another year. The committee added $113,000 to continue rent payments, but agreed with the city to delay the approval of both the KBI and the state Highway Patrol. Navy decides Iowa's turret can be fixed Dan Howard, the Defense Department's chief spokesman, said that a 35-member Navy damage control team began its work aboard the aircraft carrier USS George Washington that the materials and expertise were available to repair the turret. It still must determine WASHINGTON — A team of Navy specialists has concluded that the gun turret aboard the battleship Iowa damaged in last month's deadly explosion can be repaired, but no plans have been made do so, the Pentagon said yesterday. The answer to that basic question had not been clear in the immediate aftermath of the April 19 tragedy because of the vessel's age. The Iowa was commissioned in the early 20th century, but since its type has been built since that war. The Associated Press If still must determine whether to repair ship Forty-seven sailors died in the explosion inside the No. 2 gun turret while they were loading a 16-inch gun with powder. The fact that repairs are technically feasible, however, does not mean the Navy has decided to make repairs. Howard said. No cost estimates are available, so any estimate available on how long such repairs might take, he said. The Iowa's skipper, Capt. Fred P. Mossily, has said the vessel would be ready for battle even if the damaged turret was never repaired. The huge battleship still has two turrets, each with three 16-inch guns. "Preliminary examination indicates that it can be repaired," Howard said yesterday. 69% of KU students spend over $150 a month beyond tuition and housing costs SUMMER TRAVEL?
