Two students to vie for House seat
By Kristi Schroeder Staff writer
Two KU students have filed for the 2nd District Republican nomination for Congress, heating up the August primary that will decide who faces the incumbent, Democrat Jim Slattery, in November.
Stan Eckert, Lawrence graduate student, filed yesterday, and Phill Kline, second-year law student, filed Monday, filing deadline was yesterday.
Eckert said he didn't have any qualms about running against another KU student, and his decision to run was planned as long ago as
February, although he filed right before noon.
"I planned to file in that last hour." Eckert said. "And many people within the party were aware of my plans."
hut what Eckert had not planned on was any opposition in the primary. Eckert said he was shocked to learn that Kline was running, because Kline had not given any indication that he would run.
But Eckert said he expected a very aggressive primary race.
Eckert — a candidate in the 1984 Republican primary as well — said that if he ran against Slattery, he
would not let the campaign become, the single-issue campaign it had been in the past.

porent than the defense.
But Slattery brings every issue back to the nation's deficit, he said.
The central theme of Eckert's campaign is to take the power of the few and the wealthy and put it into
the hands of the many. One-issue politicians like Slattery make Washington unacceptable and unaccountable he said.
expert is a graduate student working on his master's in international law and relations. But he said that two years' experience as a representative would be worth putting his educational plans on hold.
Kline paid the $751 filing fee with a cheek from the state Republican Party. Although he wasn't wealthy, Kline said, he had enough political and financial support to defeat Slattery in November.
Kline depicted Slattery as a two-
sited politician who said one thing and did another.
"There are two sides to Jim Slater, "Lark said. "There is the Jim Slatter that comes back to Kansas, sits down with you, talks to you about your concerns and problems, and asks you going to do for you in Washington."
"Then there is the Jim Slattery that goes back to Washington and does something entirely different."
Kline, like Eckert, said it was time for true representation in Washington.

Chiefs add KU flavor to football
By Joseph DiNitto Staff writer
Staff writer
KU football fans who follow the Kansas City Chiefs will see a different look on the sidelines of Arrowhead Stadium this fall, and the show will have a strong Jayhawk flavor to it.
Nine former KU cheerleaders are part of the Chiefs' plans to set a trend in cheerleading in the National Football League. The organization has dumped the glitter and sex appeal of the forward, that will emphasize wholesomeness and fan participation.
"We definitely won't be out there in go-go boots and ballet tops." Sy Byram, Overland Park senior and member of the new cheerleading squad at the University. "They are concerned with us appearing completely wholesome."
This spring the Chiefs decided to change their cheerleading image, according to Donna Scott, administrative assistant and game production coordinator. The move is designed to encourage players more involved in cheering (or the game) instead of just watching the game.
"This will be a first in the NFL." Scott said. "The Chieffes were mainly a dance group, along the lines of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. We'll be the first team to have real cheerleading, and not just the crowd will find it more entertaining we'll be offering young athletes."
In addition to the former KU cheerleaders, the Chiefs hired new KU head cheerleading coach James Speed to coach the squad. Speed helped guide the University of Oklahoma two national cheerleading titles.
After the cheerleaders were selected, they signed loyalty agreements with the Chiefs. Those rules forbid squad members from drinking, smoking, chewing gum and other activities or at functions for the organization.
Scott said the Chiefs wanted cheerleaders who would serve as good public relations representatives for the organization
Personal grooming also will be regulated. A cheerleader's hair may not fall over the face, and fingernails must be trimmed to a certain length. Former KU cheerleader Jeff Davis, a coach at Baylor, and members would be paid $50 per game, plus $4 an hour for practice sessions. But the money wasn't what appealed to him most about professional cheerleading.
"I's a good way to continue doing something you like, even on a part-time basis," Davis said. "I guess its the involvement of belonging to a team."
The seven other cheerleaders were chosen are Jenny Ziegler, Lawrence junior; Michon Quick, Lawrence junior; Genee Johnson, Salina sophomore; Kenny Twiggs, senior; Kim Twiggs, brandyview sophomore; Roger Nelson, Overland Park senior; and Rick Inglis, Overland Park senior.
"I hope it will give people in Lawrence and KU tie to Kansas City and the Chiefs, when they come down and look down and see some of KU there."
U.S. trade discussed at seminar

The United States must not deal with world trade by resorting to protectionism, Wayne Angell, a member of the Reserve Board, said yesterday.
"The greatest danger the world faces today is that protectionist policy would become the order of the day," said Angell, who received a master's degree and a doctorate in law from the University of Kansas.
By Evan Walter Staff writer
Angell spoke to about 400 people at the 47th annual Bank Management Clinic held in Woodruff Auditorium.
The clinic began Monday morning and will end today at noon.
Angell said that U.S. protectionist policies would only enhance protectionist sentiments abroad and the result would be price instability.
resnash the powers of the marketplace offer better solutions to the problems of the trade imbalance than protectionist policies, said Angell. The Federal Reserve Board, which controls the money supply in the United States, is aware of these forces, he said.
Angell said protectionism in the United States also presented a serious threat to American agriculture.
"I think the president will vet any attempts at protectionist legislation," Angell said. "The president's policies, such as to presound and rique to override."
In his speech on Monday, Duke talked about the new political era of President Reagan.
See Bankers, p. 5, col. 2
"Passing protectionist legislator would reduce the amount of U.S. dollars earned by countries around the world," he said. "As world trade falls, the money earned from world trade would fall, and people will buy less of what they buy most of — food. No other industry would be more damaged by protectionism than agriculture."
Moeser to lead Penn State art program

The dean of fine arts at the University of Kansas will soon be in charge of all programs in arts and architecture at Pennsylvania State University.
Starting July 21, James Moeser, who has served as dean of fine arts for 11 years at University KU, will become dean and executive director of University Arts Services at Penn State in University Park, Pa.
Moeser will oversee all arts programs — the schools of Music and Visual Arts, and the departments of art history, theatre, architecture and
landscape architecture. At KU, he is responsible for departments of visual arts, music and dance, but does not have a hand in theatre or architecture.
"The principal attraction of the position is the unified state of the arts," he said Monday. "The university has strong programs in science and they want to bring the arts up to the science level."
Don Schaid, associate dean of fine arts, said, "Moeser has been a valued member of the community and KU since the 1960s. We hate to see him go, but he is looking to his own professional advancement and

Moeser originally announced his resignation as dean in February 1985, but agreed to stay in the position until July 1986 while KU looked for his replacement. Before he accepted his new position, Moeser taught to full-time teaching as the first Carl and Ruth Althaus distinguished professor of organ

But renovation beginning July 1 will convert the Eldridge House back into a hotel.
For the past 15 years, the building has been the home for restaurants, bars and the people who live in the apartments upstairs.

"After 15 years we still received calls for room reservations," Phillips said Friday.
As the date of renovation nears, the moving boxes are piling up in the tenants' apartments.
The residents received notices that they were to be out of the Eldridge House by July 1, Phillips said. Most of the residents have already moved

Cooper said she had lived in the Eldridge building for more than five years. She and four others intend to move to the Malls Ole English Village apartments, 2411 Louisiana St.

Every night Brune had a "happy hour" at her apartment, she said. Some drank liquor and some drank soda pop. It was a time when people got to know each other.
"When I first came here, two years after my husband's death, I thought I would never leave," she said. "I thought I would live and die here."
She would miss the downtown area because of the convenience of having a bank, post office and library nearby, she said.
Brune, who has lived in the Eldridge House for more than 11 years, said she often had recommended the place to her friends.

She said she was looking forward to the advantages of a more modern apartment, such as a garbage disposal and a dishwasher.
"I even have a balcony so I can watch 'em swim," she said.
