A University council committee has recommended that bookstores print *c* statement emphasizing academic integrity on the covers of bluebooks, a committee member said Friday.

The statement recommended by the committee describes the need for students to observe the high standards of conduct and academic integrity described in the Student Handbook. The statement also warns that violating these principles could result in expulsion from the Univer-

Dave Shulenburger, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, recommended the proposal. He said that students would be able to observe on bluebooks at other universities.
"It is prudent to give a last reminder to students before an exam begins, and that is what the statement on the bluebook would do."
Shulenburger said.
Shulenburger said that because bluebooks were used most often for important portions of a grade, such midterms and final exams, it would be wise to take the opportunity to inform students about the academic expectations of the University.
Mike Reid, manager of KU Bookstores in the Kansas Union, said printing statements on bluebooks could be done through the Union's office. In fact, most of the IRS Paper Co., in Indianapolis,
Bob Jerry, chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee, said SenEx would discuss the recommendation on April 6 or 14.

Palestinian march seeks U.S. support

A man from Kansas and a woman from Jordan held up a poster that read "Palestinians Deserve Statehood."
Thursday was Land Day, the 13th anniversary of a March 30, 1976, dispute involving Israeli compatriots in the Gaza Strip which led to the deaths of six Arabs.
Alda Dabbas, Arman, Jordan,
doctoral candidate, and Christian
Aschcraft, Wakefield senior, joined
about 40 people who silently
marched down Jayhawk Boulevard on Friday to commemorate Land Day and support Palestinians in Israeli-occupied territories.
The march, sponsored by the General Union of Palestine Students, began at 2:15 p.m. in front of the Kansas University. Participants carrying signs followed a man who held up the Palestinian flag. They passed down the message that assessed the street in front of Wescoe Hall before returning to the Union.
"I've been here for about seven years and we tried to get American students to think about the situation, but generally, the same
people come to the same events," Dabbas said. "Apathy is very widespread."
But Ascraft said he was not an apathetic U.S. citizen. He said he began thinking about the conflict when he was in junior high school.
"I knew it wasn't as black and white as they wanted us to believe back then," he said. "It wasn't as black and white as they wanted us to believe right and the Israelis were wrong."
"I really believe that anyone who looks at the truth will see that the Palestinians have suffered too much to long." Ashercraft said.

"I think this peaceful demonstration is a way to let people know about the concerns of the Middle East," Kahn said. "Palestinians are portrayed as terrorists. And I am very upset. I don't condone terrorism."

KU students help to keep parks clean
by Kris M. Berquist
Kansan staff writer
About 60 KU students spent Saturday afternoon outdoors, but not getting a sunset or hanging out at the lake. They were cleaning up Lawrence
The students picked up trash in seven Lawrence parks Saturday as part of KU Students Against Hurger's "Hunger Clean-Up."
Local businesses donated money by sponsoring the students.
"People go up to people and say,
"I'm going to clean up the city, how much will you pay me?" said Amy Jenkins of KU Students Against Hunger.
So far, the 11 campus groups that helped clean up the parks have collected $175. Johnson said KU Students Against Hunger had received $280 in other donations from local organizations part of KU War on Hunter week.
Money raised will go to Lawrence hunger projects and hunger programs in foreign countries, such as Ethiopia.
Ashley Forrey, Lawrence junior said donating time was different than just giving money.
"I feel like I can actually get out and help," Forney said. "You can give at churches and you can give to organizations, but with this you feel like you're actively helping. It also means you the chance to see the end result."
Johnson said work sites were selected after consulting with the Lawrence Parks and Recreation department. The department gave them names of the parks that most needed cleaning.
Fred DeVictor, director of Lawrence Parks and Recreation, said the group effort not only helped parks look better, but was educational.
“If citizens are willing to come and clean up, investing their time and effort, they'll have an appreciation of what it takes to keep the parks clean.” DeVictor said. “Maybe they step stuff on the ground next time.”
Johnson said the project helped pull the community together.
"People in the community and businesses made a conscious effort to help the hunger effort by giving money and we clean up Lawrence to make it look better." Johnson said. "It creates a better tie between KU and the Lawrence community. It shows that the students really care."
