KU delegation to lobby today for fee release
A delegation of 25 KU students will meet with state legislators today to lobby for general fee release, the director of the Associated Students of Kansas said.
Martie Aaron, the director, said a delegation composed of Student Senate and ASK members would speak with about 20 state representatives to encourage the release of $933.418 in fees.
The student delegates are also scheduled to meet with Gov. Mike Hayden at 11 a.m. today. Aaron said the meeting was arranged by Martin Rein, KU lobbyist and member of Hayden's transition team.
She said the purpose of the meeting was mainly to thank Hayden for his support of the fee and that 3.8 percent statewide budget cuts.
The students plan to present Hayden with a blue and red "Kansas" sweatshirt, she said.
It is important for students to take their concerns about the budget cuts directly to legislators, Aaron said.
"it's hard for KU students to realize that the legislators think that this is "Snoh Hill," and that if we got the fee release, we'd use it to buy cushions for the student union," she said.

Man chases, slaps KU police cars
In two separate incidents Tuesday, a man struck the passenger window of a KU police car with his hand and made obscene gestures to the officer in the car, a KU police spokesman said yesterday.
In the first incident, which occurred about 9 p.m., a KU police officer was in the parking lot south of Robinson Center when a man ran up, struck the police car, gestured obscenely and ran away.
At about the same time Tuesday, another officer was parked near Naismith Hall observing traffic when a man of the same description struck the passenger window of his car and made obscene gestures while running away, the spokesman said.

Group marks anniversary of February Sisters' lock-in

About 50 women, five men and numerous children gathered in the basement of Smith Hall last night to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the February Sisters.
The February Sisters were a group of women who on Feb. 4, 1972, locked themselves in the board-up east Asian building, 1332 Louisiana St. The building is no longer standing.
"We heard about what they had done, and we all just cheered," said Margaret Arnold, associate professor of English, who was teaching at the University of Kansas at the time.
Elizabeth Schultz, professor of English, said, "It was an evening of high exhilaration."
Schultz took food and blankets to the February Sisters while they were inside the University building.
"Words were being translated into actions," Schultz said. "This was a non-violent action, but it did have the power that women have."
Pam Skarda, Omaha, Neb. sophomore and co-chairman of the KU chapter of National Organization for Women, said the demonstration by the February Sisters marked the beginning of alliance of the special services
"You could be married and asking for birth control and still get a lecture," said Mary Coral, a February Sister who spoke about women's health care.
The February Sisters demanded that KU provide free day-care, create a women's studies department, provide an affirmative action program run by women, appoint a woman administrator, provide a women's health clinic and discriminateory employment
The University Senate Executive Committee held a special meeting to discuss the women's demands. Five of the sisters left the boarded up building to attend the meeting. SenEx allowed the sisters to endorse a woman to lead the affirmative action program.
The February Sisters voluntarily left the building 13 hours after occupying it.
Shirley Domer, director of the Energy Research Development Center, directed Affirmative Ac
tion for Women when it was started in 1972.
"Women were not allowed in the KU marching band at that time," she said.
Domer spoke with the band director and E. Laurence Chalmer Jr., then KU Cancellor
"Women were invited to audition for the band that fall," Domer said.
Joan Reiber, director of Hilltop Child Development Center, said Hilltop was started in August 1972 and taken by the February Sisters.
"I know the demand was for free child care, but that's impossible
child care, but that's impossible. People complain that we don't have free child care, but that's true all over the country," said Reiber, who has directed Hilltop since 1975.
Janet Sharistianan, associate professor of English, was the director of women's studies when the treatment was established in all [1972].
Sharistanian said last night that women could not take anything for granted.
"We still have to go in large groups every time we go to ask for something," she said.
Official says tuition will increase
Tuition for classroom instruction at KU will increase by 3 percent in the fall, said Keith Nitcher. University director of business affairs.
"The old philosophy was that students shouldn't have more than one tuition increase during their four years at KU." Nitcher said. "But the recent pattern has been for more frequent increases."
student's fees that is allotted for classroom instruction. It does not contain the campus privilege fee, the other part of the total tuition. The campus privilege fee was $125 this year.
The increase will come in the incidental fee, which is the portion of a
The incidental portion of tuition for undergraduate Kansas residents will increase from $520 to $535 in the fall. Resident graduate student fees will increase from $580 to $955. Non-resident undergraduate student fees
will increase from $1,475 to $1,620,
and from $1,535 to $1,680 for non-resident graduate students.
The Board of Regents will vote in April on whether to increase the campus privilege fee, Nitcher said.
"It's the campus privilege fee that makes the difference in tuition among KU, Kansas State and Wichita," said Gary Thompson, director of student records.
State Senate to vote on lottery bill today; approval is expected
BY CHRISTOPHER HINES
Staff writer
Box Bet, Instant Game and Quick Pick may soon become part of the Kansas vocabulary if the state Senate approves a lottery bill endorsed by the Kansas House yesterday.
The bill would create a separate state agency to set up and operate a Kansas lottery. A Kansas Department of Revenue report said the lottery could begin selling tickets by September.
State Rep. Robert H. Miller, R-russell, chairman of the House Federal and State Affairs Committee, to approve the bill in a vote today.
The revenue department estimates that the lottery will generate $100 million in annual revenues, of which the state would receive $35 million.
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said the Senate should not delay approving them then quickly approved by the Senate.
"The Senate has to approve it for a simple reason. What the people should say is that
The bill is the result of a voter-approved constitutional amendment mandating the Legislature to set up a state lottery.
Miller said, "It's a terribly inefficient way to raise funds for a state, but 64 percent of Kansans said in a number that they wanted a lottery."
The bill would create a five-member lottery commission responsible for adopting rules and regulations governing the operation of the lottery by the governor and confirmed by the Senate for four-year terms.
The revenue department studied the implementation and operation of lotteries in other states and estimated an initial start-up cost of $2.5 million to $3 million. This would pay
for tickets, computers, advertising and initial prize payments.
For the first year, the bill appropriates 60 percent of the state's share of lottery-generated revenues to economic development, 30 percent for county reappraisals and 10 percent for prisons. After June 30, 1989, 90 percent revenues would go to economic development and 10 percent to prisons.
Winter said, "This money could help KU with some one-time expenditures such as purchasing equipment and improvements at the University."
Later, the game would evolve into a weekly drawing of a sequence of numbers. The player holding the tape with the matching sequence would win.
The first lottery would probably involve instant game tickets. Players would win instantly by uncovering numbers on their tickets.
The state would receive about 40 percent of lottery-generated revenues, and the rest would go to operating costs and prize payouts.
The bill also proposed guidelines on who would be allowed to operate lottery retail outlets. People who had been denied the last 10 years would not be eligible.
Another provision allows for the garnishment of prizes of more than $5,000 for winners who have commitment to paying back payments to the back payments for child support.
Kansas was one of six states that decided whether to adopt a state-operated lottery during November's general election.
Initiatives were approved in Florida, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota and Kansas. North Dakota was the only state that defeated the issue.
Miller said, "Competition has to be considered since the bigger states usually have bigger prizes and attract more players."
Topeka conference draws AIDS experts

TOPEKA - AIDS, which afflicts 1 million people in the United States, is an almost "perfect" virus because it efficiently destroys the body's immune system, a top AIDS researcher said yesterday.
It is possibly the most frightening health risk of the last 14 years because it cannot be cured, said Sumner Thompson, senior medical consultant in the AIDS group of the National Institutes of Health in Atlanta. AIDS is the common acronym for acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
"Prevention is the name of the game." he said.
Thompson spoke about the latest information on AIDS at a news conference yesterday at the Colormary Hospital in St. Louis, airstation Medical Center in Topeka.
Thompson and several other internationally recognized AIDS experts are in Topeka for the Kansas Regional AIDS Conference.
The conference will be the largest AIDS education effort ever undertaken in Kansas, said Eric Schumann, Topeka AIDS Project chairman. It is co-sponsored by the Topeka AIDS project, the VA Medical Center and the Kansas Medical Education Foundation.
Thompson said he chose to speak in Toecka, even though it did not have a
Many people were getting tired of receiving warnings about AIDS through educational messages, tough. Thompson said. AIDS educational groups are trying new and innovative ways to warn the public of the disease's dangers.
Thompson said New York City, California, south Florida and Texas had the country's highest concentrations of AIDS.
"We may have to try the hardline approach to warn people about AIDS because the nonobtrusive methods of HIV testing not been very effective," he said.
The proposed AIDS warning messages may be aimed specifically at high-risk groups, like homosexuals and intravenous drug users, as a warning against unsafe sex and drug users' practice of sharing the same hypodermic needles to inject drugs, Thomson said.
The proposal of mandatory AIDS testing of certain groups is not a reality but may some day come about, Thompson said. Something drastic has to be done because not enough is going on to curb AIDS.
"We may have to do some extraordinary things to stop AIDS and that means some personal liberties may be under foot in the meantime," he said.
high concentration of AIDS cases, because his message was a simple one of prevention.
