Condoms
Continued from p. 1
Other organizations speaking out against the distribution of the condoms are the St. Lawrence Catholic Center and the Free Methodist Church.
Father Vince Krische of the Catholic center, 1631 Crescent Road, said he had received a number of complaints from parents of students enrolled in the University. In a letter he sent last week to the parents of Catholic students who are registered at the center, Krische recommended writing letters to the University administration protesting distribution of condoms.

The contents of the AIDS prevention kit that was distributed at the Kansas Union during enrollment.
"I think it's bad for the University. It promotes promiscuity and doesn't say anything about morals. The illusion that is this safe sex. Some say that only 70 percent of condoms are safe. We should educate people about AIDS, not give out condoms," he said.
Charles Yockey, chief of staff at Watkins Hospital, said that the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta estimate that by the year 1991, 10 percent of the college population in the United States could have AIDS. That translates to about 2,500 students at KU. He added that even with the use of a condom, there was still no guarantee that the disease would not be contracted.
Jason Krakow, student body president, said the task force included the condom in the packet to create publicity and send a signal to people that AIDS is a threat.
"The University needs to move forward on this issue," Krakow said. "This is a step in the right direction. It will create some spark. A lot of people are interested. The response varies from people laughing to people who are serious. Anytime we are reaching people and bring focus to this issue, the task force and Student
Senate should be proud."
Krakow said that KU was the second university in the United States to use student activity fees to distribute condoms. The University of Iowa spent $65 from a presidential contingency fund, but distribution at Iowa was limited.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said the spending of student activity fees for the safer-sex kits was in accordance with University laws and procedures.
Plan for elementary school boundaries provokes petition
By Kevin Dilmore
If parents had known about proposed elementary school boundary changes before they voted on a bond issue that generated $8.6 million for the Lawrence school system, the bond might not have passed, said one parent during a public hearing last night.
"Had neighbors known about the boundaries, the bond issue would have been different," said Kathryn Ramp, KU associate professor of human development.
The final public hearing for proposed changes in school boundaries and the school "pairing" system drew a crowd of about 200 to the Lawrence High School.
Proposed districts draw fire
Kansan staff writer
Parents and a 10-member panel discussed a boundary realignment plan proposed to the Lawrence school board Nov. 30. The proposal also would pair six elementary
schools in an effort to decrease class sizes.
He pairing plan would match Pinckney with Riverside; Grant with Woodland; and East Heights with New York. One school in each pair would house kindergarten students, and the other would be for third through sixth grades.
Ramp, who has a son in kindergarten at Hillcrest Elementary School, said she had circulated a petition throughout her Alvamar neighborhood.
She said the petition asked parents if they would like the option of having Quail Run, when opened for the 1988-89 school year, considered their neighborhood school. She also encouraged to stay at the Hillcrest school would be allowed to do so.
"Of the 75 households I asked to sign the petition, virtually 100 percent did so." Ramp said.
