Charges filed against student in drug case
James Russell Price, Shawnee freshman, was charged Monday with possession of marijuana and of drug paraphernalia.
Price was arrested Sunday night in his room at Joseph R. Pearson Hall, said Lt. Jeanne Longaker, KU police spokesman.
Longaker said someone had called KU police to report a smell of marjumia smoke in JHP. A KU officer reported the smell where he also smelled marjumia.
The officer was invited into a room, where he saw drug paraphernalia, including a bong, Longaker said.
After being questioned at KU police headquarters, Price was taken to the Douglas County jail. His bond was set at $1,000, and he was released on his own recognition.
Price is scheduled to appear at 4 p.m. Monday in Douglas County District Court.

The cost of education at the University of Kansas is less than the cost at three other institutions in KU's peer group.
Some KU administrators say that means KU students are receiving a good education bargain.
"KU is a quality institution at a very affordable price." Bruce Lindvall, director of admissions, said yesterday.
KU's peer institutions, the universities of Colorado, Iowa, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Oregon, are designated such because of similarities in size, academic goals and state financing.
"We're far below the University of Colorado at Boulder," said Gary Thompson, director of student services. "Especially for non-resident lees."
The annual cost for undergraduate student students at KU for the 1985-86 academic year was $1,290. Non-resident undergraduate KU
At Colorado, resident students paid $1,779 in tuition and non-residents paid $6,559.
students paid $3,200.
Other schools in the peer group with tuitions higher than KU are the universities of Oregon and Iowa. Oregon students paid $1,487 for resident fees, and $4,190 for non-resident fees in 1986-87 academic year.
Undergraduate students in Iowa paid $1,300 for resident fees, and $4,000 in non-resident fees.
He said students from the Chicago area could attend KU and not pay any more in total educational costs than they would have at the University of Illinois at Chicago
"When you put everything into perspective, KU is a bargain," Lindvall said.
Resident fees at Illinois are $2.262 and non-resident are $5.322.
Thompson said, "That's why so many students come here from Illinois."
Kansas residents make up the greatest proportion of students at
KU, Thompson said, followed by students from Missouri and then Illinois.
Lindvail said that four factors were involved in the cost of education for university students; tuition, room and board, books and spending money.
Dick Mann, university director of information resources, said one reason for the low tuition at KU was the Board of Regent's effort for students to pay only 25 percent of educational costs.
Thompson said the individual student didn't pay exactly 25 percent, but that when all the fees were paid, either the result was equivalent
"It as breaks down, resident students pay a little less than 25 percent, and non-resident students pay a little more," he said.
The remaining 75 percent of the educational cost is provided by state revenues.
Peer schools with resident tuitions lower than KU were the universities of Oklahoma and North Carolina.

Prof tells of paradox of women, sexuality
By JENNIFER WYRICK
Staff writer
The idea of women and sexuality is a paradox.
That's what our society thinks, anyway, said Dennis Dailay, professor of social welfare and a certified sex therapist for 16 years.
Dailey spoke to about 25 people last night in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union about the problems of becoming a fully actualized sexual female in a society not always willing to let women achieve this.
The speech, "Women and Sexuality was sponsored by the Emily Taylor Woman's Initiative."
"There is a subtle social message that is not being distributed evenly." he said. "The message to women to not be fully actualized sexual human beings is much more intense than the message to men not to be sexual when they are young."
ses sexual expression, especially in women, Dailey said.
Dailey said the saying, "Boys will be boys," is an example of society's way of condoning and even encouraging sexual expression from boys.
Our society oppresses and repres-
"All hell will freeze over before anyone says, 'Girls will be girls,' in response to their sexual acts," he said.
College of liberal arts plans to reduce enrollment in fall
By PAUL SCHRAG
Staff writer
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must cut back its enrollment this fall to meet the needs of its students, Robert Lineberry, dean of the college, said at a college assembly meeting yesterday.
Lineberry said he hoped that an emphasis on quality rather than quantity in recruiting would result in 5 to 10 percent fewer freshmen being admitted to the college this fall than in 1986.
But he did not specify how the coach would try to reduce its enrollment.
"The two chief concerns of the college are underfunding and over-enrollment," he said. "Other concerns are consequences of these."
Enrollment in the college increased by 1,100 students in 1980 and by 3,000 students in the last six years, Lineberry said.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has an open-admissions policy, which means that it admits any student who enters the University regardless of the student's academic qualifications.
To enter other schools in the University, such as the schools of business and fine arts, students must meet academic requirements specified by each school.
"So long as I have anything to do with the matter, we will neither become the dumping ground for students unsuccessful in their several quests, nor the sole location for the open-admissions option," he said in a speech to the assembly.
Also at the meeting, the college assembly eliminated a degree candidacy standing requirement and increased the number of credit hours a student may take in the summer session from eight to 10.
The degree candidacy standing requirement had required students working toward bachelor of arts or bachelor of general studies degrees to have achieved degree candidacy standing before completing 75 hours of credit.
Students achieved degree candidacy standing by completing certain courses in English, mathematics and communication studies.
Felix Moos, chairman of the committee on undergraduate studies.
said the requirement had become obsolete. Computerized record-keeping enables students' degree progress to be monitored without making a separate check after 75 hours have been completed, he said.
"It was a lot of paperwork that accomplished little," Moas said.
The assembly increased the number of credit hours a student may take in the summer to benefit students. Two-five-hour courses. Moos said
The assembly also made several curricular changes. These included deleting ENGL 251, Fiction Writing I from the department of English and adding Beginning Dramatic Script-writing, adding Economic and Social History of Europe, 1750-1941 to the department of Psychology, Introduction to Behavioral Neuroscience to the department of psychology.
Also included in curricular changes were changes in descriptions, titles and prerequisites of some courses in the departments of military science, classies. French and Italian and Western civilization
Legislator says KU doesn't need state work-study program funds
Staff writer
By IOHN BUZBEE
TOPEKA — The University of Kansas doesn't need additional money to run the state work-study program, a state representative told a House committee yesterday before it passed a bill to strengthen the program.
State Rep. David Miller, R-Eduora, helped amend the bill to prevent universities from using study-study money to administer the program.
KU can absorb the administrative expenses, he said.
"I'm sure they can find a couple of bucks to run the program without dipping into work-study." Miller said after the meeting.
The Board of Regents says it doesn't need more money to run the program, so allowing for administrative costs would just open the door to waste. Miller said.
"I did not want to have any part of issuing that invitation," he said.
But State Rep. Jessie Branson, a Lawrence Democrat and a member of the committee, said she might try to override the provision on the House floor.
"I don't think the committee clearly understand what was happening," she said.
Mark Tallman, director of legislative affairs for the Associated Students of Kansas, said universities needed money to run the program.
"For the program to be successful, there has to be some promotion," he said.
Although the state hasn't provided money to run the program in the past, it should, Tallman said.
The money particularly could help universities such as KU that have had trouble finding money to run the program, he said.
The bill would formally establish the state work-study program, which has operated at KU and other Board of Regents universities since 1983.
The work-study bill is a priority for ASK this session.
Under the program, students work part time in an area related to their studies. Their employer pays half their salary, and the program pays the other half. About 80 students participate in the KU program.
The informal state work-study program is separate from the federal work-study program at KU and other universities. The bill would create uniform rules for the program at all state universities.
