Many turn out for LesBiGay event

The annual event, which officially closed LesBiGay Awareness Week 1995, celebrates the spirit of community that some homosexuals and bisexuals find in Lawrence.
Julie Dublinske, Madison, Neb., junior, said that she felt free to be out in Lawrence.
Massachusetts Street looked different on Saturday morning. More than 300 people — gays, lesbians, bisexuals and straight people — participated in the Pride March on Lawrence.
"Madison is a tiny conservative town, "said Dublinskis, who is a bisexual. "I wouldn't have done this there. You feel free and open here. We've got support from everybody. I love this sense of community."
One of the straight supporters at the march was Brenda Daly, Bonner Springs junior, who is a member of Straight Allies.
"We love to be here," she said. "We are a heterosexual group that supports gay' rights."
Families of gays and lesbians also participated in the march.
Donna Swall, a member of Lawrence Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, said that the parents' role was to support their children.
"We love our children regardless of their sexual orientation," she said. "It is a way to validate their personhood."
But not only supporters were present. Fred Phelps, a Topeka minister, and members of his church protested and followed the march with their signs condemning homosexuality.
Phelps said he didn't care whether people accepted his message, but his duty was to tell them that they were going to hell.
"I am a Bible preacher," he said. "It is irrelevant to me what they think. I have to do it."
The only answer that Phelps got was when drag queens in the march greeted him saying, "We love you
Fred."
After the march, a rally was held at South Park. One of the speakers was Allen Levine, newly elected city commissioner, who spoke about last Tuesday's election and its importance for the rights of gays, lesbians and bisexuals in Lawrence.
When talking about adding the words sexual orientation to the Lawrence human relations ordinance, Levine was direct.
"It will be passed in the next two weeks." he said.
Scott Manning, acting director of LesBiGay SK, said that more people had participated in Saturday's march compared to other year's marches.
"There were more straight allies participating," he said. "People who had never participated before felt comfortable being here. I think it was because of the city commission election."
Claude Howard, Lawrence sophmore, carried the LesBiGayS OK banner in the march. He said he was happy to see gays and straight people working as a community.
"I feel proud and free to be gay," he said. "I don't mind showing it."
Student Senate trying to help environment
By Paul Todd
Kansan staff writer
The environment is a prevalent political tonic, even for Student Senate.
This year, Senate put together an environmental task force similar to the one created four years ago that placed newspaper and aliquum.
minum recycling bins around campus.
This year's task force consisted of a chairman, six senators and members of KU Environs, a campus environmentalist group. The task force was also a part of the Office of Environmental Health and Safety.
Eric Medill, student body vice president and chairman of this year's environmental task force, said that the task force had two main goals. One was to begin a textbook recycling program, and the other was to create a recycling awareness week. The book recycling was to be run by Senate, and the awareness week was to be run by KU Enviro-
ness week this week but without the help of Senate.
Eric Parks, Elkworth sophomore and Environs member, said that Enviros found it difficult to get their programs together with Senate.
"The book donation program is something that needs to be done through an entire year," he said.
KU Environs will hold its recycling aware-
But, Medill said, the book recycling program never happened because the task force ran out of time.
"The committee took a while to get going," he said. "I got the information I needed about the book donation program second semester."
Medill said the committee decided it was not a program that could be completed in three months, so it was scrapped until next year.
"As soon as you get into the bureaucratic mess of the University, it's hard to get things started." Parks said.
Eric Parks member of Environs
He said that Medill and other members of Senate had made themselves available to help with the recycling awareness week but that Environs hadn't needed any help.
Environs will have an information table with pamphlets and surveys about recycling this week in the Kansas Union.
Medill said a new and improved University-wide environment council is in the works for next year. The council would be coordinated by the Office of Environmental Health and Safety but would include students and faculty.
He said that the council would consist of a large committee with separate subcommittees to address
specific environmental issues like recycling.
And, he said, that the council would be able to do a better job of addressing environmental issues because the council would be one voice instead of several.
Edward Meyen, executive vice chancellor, said that the environment was always a topic at the University and that students would be included on council subcommittees when it was appropriate.
"I'm sure there will be students on the various committees, particularly in the area of environment because it is consistently on their agenda," Meyen said.
The great debate
Kim Cocks
■ Debate: 8 p.m. tonight in Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union
Election dates: Wednesday and Thursday
The REAL coalition had spent $3,148.33 on campaigning as of April 5.
The United Students coalition had spent $2,122,26 on campaigning as of April 5.
Kim Cocks is running for student body president with the United Students coalition. Her views on how Student Senate should handle environmental issues on campus:
"We're committed to maintaining our traditional proactive stance in regard to the environment. We want to continue to strengthen the relationship Senate has with Environs. We encourage the cooperative effort with Senate and Environs. We feel that Environs does a great job in educating the community, and we want to support their efforts as much as we can. Senate brought recycling to campus, and United Students will continue Senate's commitment to the environment."

David Stevens is running for student body president with the REAL coalition. His view on how Student Senate should deal with environmental issues on campus;
Environment is another one of those issues which is a traditional campaign issue at KU. This year, there was a proposal to create a student environmental ambudsman's office, and the current administration didn't fund it. I would somehow work toward creating a student environmental office on campus. If you're going to talk the talk, you've got to walk the walk.
