Seating Continued from p.
last year with the old, lower teachers.
John Sayler, another alumnus, said although there were people on both sides of the issue, the blame must fall on the construction of the bleachers and not the students.
John Gaston, chairman of minority studies at Wichita State University, gives a dramatic reading of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s, "I Have A Dream" speech. Gaston presented the reading and a speech as part of "The We Connection Weekend," a weekend of activities sponsored by Black Student Union to honor King.
"There is no feeling of live and let live," he said. "There is a lot more enthusiasm than there used to be, and I'm for that. But it has to be shared enthusiasm."
Rick Loehrke, Chicago senior, said although he could understand the complaints of those with obstructed views, the enthusiasm of the student body has been deterred by the request to remain seated.
"I can't cheer the way I want unless I'm standing," he said. "This is a sporting event, not an opera. Standing and yelling is what makes Allen Field House such a tough place to play for opponents."
As an alternative, Loehrke recommended the athletic department convert one entire side into an alumni section, as they did with football games at Memorial Stadium
He also said he thought the students were not the ones to be punished because of poor planning by the athletic department.
Super Bowl Continued from p.1
fall down. "It's like buffaloes running at each other and knocking each other down."
Husain said he was curious about what made the game so popular, but he said he still didn't understand the game when people tried to explain it to him.
In most countries, Husain said, sports was of interest to the people, but it never became a passion. He said he thought American sports were overpublicized to the point that people could think of nothing else.
Forthcoming due dates on architecture projects weren't enough to keep Darrin Ingram, St. Louis junior, away from the Super Bowl. Ingram watched the game while working on a project from a studio in Marvin Hall. "The Super Bowl is like an American tradition," Ingram said. "I'm not too strong over which team wins. I just want to watch it."
John Gunther, St. Louis junior, who
watched the game with Ingram in the studio, said he'd hate to have to admit to people that he hadn't seen the game.
Bill Kaszer, manager of Pyramid Pizza, 507 W. 14th St., said Super Bowl Sunday was one of the busiest days of the year.
"It's about the same amount of business as when there's a home football game," he said. "On those days there's 40,000 extra people in town, and a lot of them come down to the Wheel for beer and a slice of pizza!" Charles Barnett, manager of the Kansas Sports Bar and Grill, 701 Massachusetts St., said that the bar was full and had a waiting line during the game.
People who were Bears fans, Barnett said, could order the Chicago Polish sausage and steak soup special. Patriots fans could feast on a fare of New England corned beef and clam chowder.
Japan Continued from p. 1
because he was a pharmacist, he said. The government released professionals as long as they did not return to the West Coast.
"My father went to Chicago and found a job." Shimmura said. "My mother, sister and I joined him after a year.
The only reason Japanese Americans are beginning to describe their experiences now, Shimomura said, is because the younger generation is forcing the older generation to talk about life in the relocation camps.
"The purpose of the reparations is to put what happened in the public eye so it won't happen again," he said. "When you start asking for money, people pay attention. There are very few Japanese-Americans who really expect to get any money back. But if we generate a few more lines in the history books, we've accomplished something."
King's movement needs activists in this generation, speaker says
To carry on the civil rights movement begun by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., individuals must be willing to follow his example and actively participate in the movement, John Gaston said Friday night.
Gaston, chairman of the minority studies department at Wichita State University and keynote speaker for "The We Connection," said the present generation must unite to carry the baton handed to them by King.
By Tom Farmer
"It's up to you," he said, "whether you'll contribute and be an active part, or whether you'll stand on the sidelines and say, 'Why didn't they do something?' "
"The We Connection" was a group of activities sponsored by the Black Student Union over the weekend in honor of King. Other activities were the Miss EssenceMr. Ebony pageant Saturday night and a gospel extravaganza Sunday morning.
Gaston compared the quest for civil rights to a relay race in which the runners specialized in different aspects of the race.
Some runners are good beginners, but have a weak finish, he said, while others start badly, but finish strongly.
The same principle applies to the people who take the issues from the previous generation and work with them as best they can until the time comes to hand them off to the next generation, he said.
"Those carrying the baton or the issues are in control and capable of being heard," he said.
One of the most important differences among people is not race, Gaston said. Instead, it is their values and
philosophies of thought which make them different. Gaston said two main schools of thought existed in society.
The first is that of the Europeans, which follows the "i think, therefore I am" concept of French philosopher Rene Descartes and emphasizes the I and the me.
In contrast, a broader world view is taken by Third World countries with the concept of we, Gaston said. The concept is that we exist, therefore I exist. If the group survives, I survive.
"Out of the we philosophy comes interdependency and unity," he said.
Gaston used many excerpts from King's speeches, including his famous "I Have A Dream" speech.
King was a leader who sacrificed a great deal to reach his goals, Gaston said. But today people are not willing to make short-term sacrifices for long-term gains.
His voice rose and fell in a manner not unlike King's when he reached a climactic or low point in the content of his delivery.
"We are creatures of comfort," he said. "We like the better things in life. And we're not willing to give that up many times because the price is too high."
Another problem with the present generation is a lack of knowledge about the issues at hand. Gaston said
People who wear gold chains and diamonds and participate in movements against South Africa's practice of apartheid aren't sincere in their efforts, he said. Those people are supporting the country of South Africa by buying gold and diamonds.
"Many people get involved for the wrong reasons," Gaston said.
Retreat
Continued from p. 1
control Senate spending.
Controversy aside, some senators said that the retreat provided an excellent opportunity to get acquainted.
"From a business viewpoint, we need to have a check on the system." Harnett said. "But now, there isn't a check on spending."
Michael Foubert, Lawrence graduate student and a student senator, said the retreat gave last year's returning senators the chance to meet new senators in a social setting.
"We won't be seeing them only as senators," Foubert said. "We'll also be seeing them as people."
Sunday morning, Chancellor Gene A. Budig spoke briefly to the senators.
Besides getting acquainted, the senators participated in two workshops Saturday. One focused on meeting procedures and the other dealt with senate regulations.
Consumer
Continued from p.1
social service agencies, including the CAA.
He said many people thought that this was a bad time to ask for the increase because of Gov. John Carlin's request for a 1 cent raise in the state sales tax, but thought that if there was to be a rise in the tax, it might as well be a $1\frac{1}{2}$ cent jump as a 1 cent jump.
The CAA is a non-profit organization and does not charge for such services as keeping a public file of complaints against area businesses or providing information about product recalls, consumer rights and a wide range of other consumer information.
Chapman said if a consumer filed a complaint with the association, the CAA first checked the validity of the complaint, then worked to find a reasonable solution to the problem.
He said this might include anything from talking to the business involved
to acting as an arbitrator for the two sides in a negotiation process.
Chapman said the CAA received more than 3,500 calls and visits from consumers with problems each year. Last year, 300 to 400 actual complaints were filed with the association. The most common problem the association deals with are tenant-landlord disputes, he said.
On Campus
Irwin G. Sarason, a professor of psychology at the University of Washington and editor of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, is scheduled to speak at 4 p.m. Thursday in Alderson Auditorium at the Kansas Union. He will speak about "Social support, personality and health."
