Protesters oppose nuclear arms race with staged die-in

Students yesterday passed out fake Jonestown Kool-aid and staged a die-in on the lawn between Wescoe and Stauffer-Flint hills to protest the dangers of nuclear war.
The protest called for "No Business As Usual" as a way to draw attention to the need to avert global disaster from nuclear war.
The protesters organized the event as part of a national No Business As Usual Day sponsored by the no Business As Usual National Response Committee, a group operating out of San Francisco.
Except for about 50 demonstrators and about 20 passers-by who stopped to watch the protest, it looked like class change at the University as usual.
When the whistle from the steam tower blew its regular announcement to change classes, most students filed out of buildings and hurried to their destinations, attempting to stay out of the cold.
After speeches from people opposing U.S. policy in Libya, Central America, South Africa, the treatment of Native Americans by the U.S. government and the arms buildup by the Soviet Union and the
At 1:30 p.m., about 90 of the protesters fell to the ground after a countdown to the impact of a Soviet missile hitting campus.

"Americans are compicit in Reagan's foreign policy as long as they don't take a stand," he said before the demonstration.
Before the beginning of the staged World War III, there were several speeches.
David Baird, Lawrence resident and local spokesman for the national organization, made the sound effects of the missiles coming down and up.
Allan Hanson, professor of anthropology, said an example of the country's harmful nuclear policy was the Reagan administration's recent handling of the Soviet's self-imposed nuclear weapons test ban.

The world of pharmacy has changed dramatically in those years, Cotton said. When he first began teaching, more than 90 percent of the students were going into community pharmacy practice. Now only about 55 percent go into community hospital pharmacy and 25 percent go into industry or become medical representatives, lawyers, doctors or dentists.
During his tenure at KU, he has placed his own mark on his students.
The Cotton way is discipline. For the past several years, he has insisted on teaching classes mandatory for pharmacy students at 7:30 a.m. Not only that, but he has pop quizzes, seals students alphabetically and gives homework assignments that force students to learn, he said.

Stadium kitchen cooks up snacks

At the north end of Memorial Stadium, unseasonally cold gusts of wind whistled yesterday through cracks in the moon-shaped doors and collided with hot air from a kitchen.
Three cooks, up to their elbows in sandwiches and batter, were preparing today's array of snacks for Wescoe Hall's cafeteria.
Dorothy Milner, commissary supervisor, had just taken two cherry pies from the oven and was putting finishing touches on several small
All of the freshly baked goods and an additional 350 cold sandwiches, she said, would be transported to Wescoc Hall this morning.
sandwiches also are made for the University's vending machines and baked goods are transported to Murphy School. They are built on the Art and Design building.
Linda Dye, Milner's assistant and cook in charge of sandwich making and packaging, said she was more than a little tired of turkey sandwiches, which had become the most popular sandwich this year.
for a Vernon blah.
Milner disagreed. "I would say the ham sandwiches are most popular."
"I didn't used to have to make 120 for a vending order," she said.
Dyche placed the wrappers and cardboard with the KU emblem on the sandwiches and sent them with a machine that sealed the ends.
Miltener said, "We used to make mainly sandwiches when I first came here, but over the years it has changed."
About 10 years ago, she said, the cafeteria conducted an experiment to see whether customers liked to eat their hotest, and try the University's freshly baked goods.
Milton, who bakes about two pies and two large cakes every day, said the University's cookies now were especially at the visual arts building.
"They really have a lot of cookie
monsters there," she said.
Mary Longaker, the kitchen's cookie chef, said she made about 130 packages of cookies every day. Each package has two cookies.

pies
Milner said the 24-egg cookie recipe was adapted from an eight-egg recipe, the cakes were made from box mixes and the frozen pies were purchased wholesale.
But occasionally, Milner said, she has to prepare homemade entrees, such as a big batch of liver and onions she made in March that sold surprisingly well.
The stadium kitchen receives all of its orders from the kitchen behind the food display case at Wescool. Cooks in Wescool's kitchen make the hot sandwiches and salads every morning and prepare the entrées, which are usually frozen.
"We thought they might have sold better if they hadn't been made on a Friday during Lent."
Warner Ferguson, associate director of the Kansas and Burge Urions, said the annual volume of sales at Wesco cateriafer was $440,000 a year.
Milner said that the few leftovers they have were thrown away.
Kevin Remick, University director of concessions, said the kitchen had been at the north end of the stadium since 1854 and was used at first only for production of concessions for athletic events.
"I made 64 servings, and we sold 40 of them," she said.
"That's not bad. It shows growth from when Wescoe cafeteria first opened," he said.
In about 1973, he said, Wescoe cafeteria only brought in about $200,000 a year.
Milner said people recently had become concerned about what ingredients were in the food at Wescoe cafeteria.
Since the mid 1960s, he said, the kitchen has been distributing food to other parts of the University.
"I've had a lot of people call and ask me what I put in it," she said.

Center expects budget cuts

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Growing up in the inner-city has many dangers. Rape, child abuse, drug overdoses and jail are not uncommon.
r Martin Luther King Urban Center in Kansas City, Kan., is trying to protect inner-city children from these dangers. But the passage of budget cutting measures, such as the Grammar School bill, could make the dangers worse, Gerald Williams, director of operations at the center, said recently.
"Kids are abused by their parents, and they abuse their parents,"
Williams said. "Rape is up. Ag-
gravated assault is up. Thefts are
certainly up, and runaways are
outraged."
The King center aids people between ages four and 21 who have emotional problems caused by the environmental conditions of the incerity. Williams said. The emphasis of the program, which is funded for financial, is self-determination to get off of welfare and create a better
"There is a direct correlation between all these cuts in programs for children and youth and what's going on done with kids." Williams said.
"The problem with Gramm-

Reagan seeks allied action on terrorism
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan said yesterday that he would press reluctant U.S. allies at the Tokyo summit to plan stronger action against terrorism. He criticized France for flying planes to fly over French airspace as the planes sped to their attack on Libya last week.
In the 30-minute interview, Reagan said he hoped the economic summit of industrialized nations in Tokyo from May 4 to 6 would be businesslike in approaching the problem of terrorism. He expected to discuss France's denial of its airspace to U.S. planes.
The interview was Reagan's first extensive defense of the raid on Libyan targets a week ago, in which civilians, including Libyan leader Col. Moammar Khadafy's 15-month adopted daughter, were killed.
"We've tried not only diplomacy, but then tried trade sanctions and so forth." Reagan said.
See related stories p. 6.
Regan revealed that some European countries already were talking about a wider-based and an all-out effort against Libya.
"The violence not only kept on, but our intelligence revealed it was being stepped up. So we decided they had to take us as a price for what they were doing."
Reagan referred specifically to France, which had told him it had not supported the U.S. attack because it was not a strong enough response, and Reagan suggested that an even more devastating attack be launched, Reagan said.
the Washington Times reported yesterday that French President Francis Mitterrand told U.S. officials he would support a U.S. effort only if they were satisfied to result from Khadrya's efforts. Officials confirmed the report.
In criticizing France, Reagan said he still did not know why it refused the right of U.S. warplanes to fly over its airspace, forcing the attacking jets to fly a circusuit route around France, Spain and Portugal.
"I think it is difficult to understand," Reagan said. "If we're all allies together and supposed to be sharing in the protection of all of our countries to deny the right of our planes to fly over — yes, I have to criticize that. I can't see any justification for it.
"(The French), themselves, were taking action such as sending (Liban) diplomats home."
At the same time, however,
