Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor,
said yesterday that he had asked the
University Senate executive committee to
conduct a study of demonstrations at the University of Kansas.
The action came in response to controversy surrounding the videotaping by KUIP.
Shankel said he had met with several faculty members of SenEx yesterday morning to review plans that had been made to tape a rally on campus yesterday.
The rally was in support of the Egyptian-Iraeli peace treaty. KU police monitoring the rally had videotape equipment available and were able to verify the peaceful, Mkıhl Kılı, KU cplt (of police), said.
Last week, KU police taped two protest marches against the signing of the peace treaty and a rally protesting South African independence by the KU Endowment Association.

In a close election that attracted few voters yesterday, Donald Bins, Marci Francisco and Robert Schumm won seats on the Lawrence City Commission.
Bins, the only incumbent, won the most
bins, 3,366. Francisco came in second with
3,354 bins. Jeff Garnett received 3,396.
Jack Landreth received 3,172 votes and
Florence "Danny" Drury had 3,163 to
1.
Although poor weather might have kept some voters at home, Delbert Matina, county clerk, said the absence of issues probably caused the low turnout.
This year's voter turnout was 6,450. There were 27,080 eligible voters in the city.
Four of the candidates congratulated or consolled one another at the Douglas High School in Innisfort where they came in. Binns was at the weekly city commission meeting as the totals were
BINNS AND Francisco will serve four
year terms and Schumm will serve a two
year term.
Schulman said the redevelopment of the downtown business district was his highest priority.
THEERE WERE 224 votes separating Schumm and Landreth, the largest margin between any of the candidates. Landreth said he thought he lost votes because of his
refusal to take a stand concerning the shopping mall.
"My gut feeling is that this is a vote against the mall," he said. "I sure that hurt me in the neighborhoods downtown."
Drai trailed Landreth by nine votes. Despite her loss, she was pleased with one result of the election: Francis's win.
"I'm pleased that Marci got in," she said. "They are all good candidates. I think either way the voters couldn't have lost."
In the school board election for Unified School District 497, four candidates won four-year terms. The three highest vote-getters were incumbents.
Juliack Held the race with 4,835 votes,
Charles Older father was second with 4,772
and Martha Masinton was third with 4,289
The newcomer to the school board was Mary Lou Wright, who garnered 4,165 votes.
Ronald Schmidt lost with 3.972.

If Roberts had appealed to enough voters to win a seat on the commission, he would probably have had to decline. Miller would have prohibited the defense probes from being in town.

"We'll see if senators and representatives who represent the same areas vote the same," she said. "If they don't, we'll see if their vote was influenced by lobbyists."
“It’s really weird the way lobbybys work,” she said. “They’ll go into a legislator’s office and ask him if he supports liquor by the drink, for instance. If he says yes, they write him a check for $50 and leave.
"Some people could end up supporting it even though they're from conservative areas."
Mahoney said names of lobbying groups sometimes were misleading to voters.
"For example," she said, "The Committee for Responsible Government" represents the Kansas Wine and Spirits Wholesalers Association.
