Haskell paper in turmoil

dents had not participated in the process.
Shane Hills said students who were unable to serve as officers in the Indian Leader Association were the ones who contributed the most work and helped the students helped with the layout and editing of the dummies sheets, he said.
Stevens said Robertson told Hills that she should be able to take the paper because it was student-owned.
"Hills said I didn't have the right to take it, that I had to have a warrant," Stevens said. "Dario picked up the papers and started to leave with them, but Hill's son, Shane, started saving. 'No! I want them back.'"
Robertson left with the dummy sheets, Stevens said, and she remained in the building for a few minutes.
"I tried to tell them that I wasn't going to change anything in the paper. I was just going to add to it." Stevens said.
Shane Hills said Robertson was acting on behalf of a client, although his client's views might not represent the entire Haskell student body.
"The situation amounted to an arbitrary attorney bolting into the room and bolting out with the dummy sheets," Shane Hills said.
Stevens said she assigned stories regarding recent controversy at Haskell to student reporters at a meeting Saturday. None of those stories were included in the paper, she said, because the students had not had enough time to complete them.
Shane Hills said there was discrepancy about whether the meeting was legal.
"There must be a faculty member present for a meeting to be legal," he said.
"Nobody has seen the articles Marcel has mentioned. None of them have been turned in. The newspaper faculty advisers would be glad to
print anything that has a foundation on facts."
Shane Hills said there were controversial topics in the paper, including editorials about a lack of concern among financial aid counselors, residence hall policies that students said were violations of their rights and a front-page story with a headline that read, "Importance of Leader reconsidered amist allegations of suppression."
Owen said the Hillses told him that the student managing editor did not have the right to edit without a vote of the Indian Leader Association. He was also among the articles Stevens assigned Saturday did not belong in a paper; he did not
Marvin Buzzard, acting vice president at Haskell, said any comments from him would be premature while the issue was still being investigated.
Charles Gebo, dean of admissions at Haskell, said the details he knew about the case were sketchy.
favor of the amendment was one of compromise.
Plan would install sprinklers
"I was not in favor of making sprinkler systems mandatory," she said. "I didn't want a restrictive ordinance to pass on three votes, so instead of having it to one, I voted on it with the added provisions."

Praeger said she was not sure comprehensive sprinkler systems were necessary and was looking into the possibility of a variance in the amendment, such as the need for alarm systems, fire exits and emergency lighting.
"There is no variance procedure right now, and there might not be one, but this is certainly a good question to ask."
Todd Fowler, Interfraternity Council president, said he viewed the addition of the provisions to the amendment package.
"The fire department and the commission have been pressuring us and now they've backed down a little." Fowler said. "This will enable some of the houses to come up with the extra funds."
But some people don't see the provisions or the amendment as a victory.
Frank Bustamante, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore and member of Delta Chi fraternity, said he saw the game after the team's loss.

"We have a lot of financial responsibility right now and only so much money to deal with." Bustenga said.

only so much money to deal with. Bustamante say.
He said the entire sprinkler system would cost Delta
Chi between $30,000 and $40,000. The house has plans to
install sprinklers on all floors except the basement this
summer, but he said the alumini board probably would
have to revise those plans to include the basement.
Bittendenbear said that prior to Tuesday night's meeting, she would have said that fraternities and sororites had been singled out. However, she said the commissioners seemed to listen to what was said and agreed to look into implementing the same ordinances for other buildings, such as apartment complexes.
Kevin Stacy, sales representative of Grimm Fire Protection, and the installation of a sprinkler pump in a commercial building will cost $10,000.
Another concern was the possibility that asbestos might be uncovered when sprinkler systems were installed, causing exposure to workers and the additional cost of asbestos removal.

But Barr said the installation of sprinkler systems did not cause the hazards of asbestos.

"The Milagro Beanfield War" won for best score, and "Mississippi
Burning" won for cinematography "Bird" won the Oscar for best sound, and "Belejuice" for makeup.
Named best song of the year was Carlly Simson's "Let the River Run" from "Working Girl." The Academy could find only three songs to nominate this year instead of the usual five, and didn't see fit to have them performed during the show.
The year's best foreign language film was Denmark's "Pelle the Conqueror," a grim tale about an exploited farm worker and his son.
With yesterday's ceremonies, the Academy dropped the traditional line. "The winner is . . . in favor of 'And the Oscar goes to . . .' The intent was to soften the sense of competition.

THE PALESTINIAN PEACE INITIATIVE
A lecture by
Hasan Abdel Rahman
—Dr. Hasan Abdel Rahman
Director of the Palestine Information Office in Washington D.C. and the highest ranking PLO Spokesperson to visit the K.U. campus
"Peace for the Palestinians is not a luxury. The Palestinians have been dispersed, stateless, living under a military occupation and subjected to all the forms of oppression that military occupation represents... Peace is a necessity...It is obvious that peace will not be established without a just solution to the Palestinian problem... We want a just peace, guaranteed by the international community and based on the U.N. resolutions..."
Today at 7:00 p.m. in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union
