CAMPUS/AREA UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Friday, December 3,1993 3 Spanish HBO may come to cable By Traci Carl Kansan staff writer Sunflower Cablevision customers might be able to access movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger saying more in Spanish than "Hasta La Vista, Baby." Dennis Knipfer said Sunflower was examining the possibility of offering movies like "The Terminator" in Spanish. Translated movies would be available to customers that receive the Home Box Office movie channel. They would not have subtitles. Sunflower is considering the Spanish HBO access after a request from the Costa Rican Student Association. "It seems to be a low-impact way to possibly answer their request." Knipfer said. Knipfer said he did not know when he could announce a final decision, which would be based on the costs of the access. Gustavo Alvarado, Ramon, Costa Rica,junior and president of the association,said he would prefer a channel with all Spanish programming. "The idea is to have a real Spanish channel, not "The idea is to have a real Spanish channel, not just translated movies" Gustavo Alvarado just translated movies," Alvarado said. GUSTAVO AVAREZ President of Costa Rican Student Association Alvarado said the association wanted the channel for fluent Spanish speakers and Spanish students. It has signatures from about 1,000 students in favor of the channel. The channel also be a way for non-Spanish speaking people to experience the language and culture. The channel would offer news and programs on Latin American issues. "It's kind of a way to share cultures," he said But translated movies would not offer Spanish culture. Gustavo said Sunflower at first considered offering Spanish programming that would share a channel with different programming. "We have to take a good hard look at any addition to the cable line-up," Knipfer said. The Cable Act of 1992 does not affect programming, Knipfer said. Knipper said Sunflower only can offer 40 channels, and all channels have programming. Adding channels could increase costs. Alvarado said the association was studying whether the Cable Act of 1992 would require Sunflower to carry a Spanish channel with enough public support. John Katch, associate professor of radio and TV journalism, said the act did not give the public more power in determining the programming a cable company offers. Bellringers brave cold weather Volunteers collect money to assist Salvation Army When he goes home to the Salvation Army Shelter at night, David Beust can still hear bells ringing. "It's exciting for the kids to hear, but I sort of get burned out on it," Beust said. Beust is ringing the bell for a second year. He said that he stood outside Dillons when the temperature was 15 degrees Saturday wearing a coat, hat and gloves to help him stay warm. "It's a good way for me to pick up a little rent money to put in the bank," he said. "I'm hoping I can get a job pretty soon, but it seems like things always get bad from October to December." "I stand by the door and try to catch some heat on the really cold days," he said. "I wish it would snow โ€” that makes it seem more like Christmas." Blake Hodges, Winnetka, Ill., freshman, dropped some change into Beast's pot. David Beust, Lawrence, stands outside Dillon's, 1015 W. 23rd St., as a bellringer for the Salvation Army. Beust spends seven hours a day, six days a week waiting for people's donations. "I know they're out there, and they work hard to have a good Christmas," he said. "I usually try to spare some change for them." Some avoid eye contact with the bell ringers, others meekly walk by, and a few proudly walk up, say "Merry Christmas," and drop in some change, said Gale Armbrister, Baldwin resident and bell ringer. "After you do this for a while you start getting ringers wrist," Armbrister said with a smile. "This is my fifth or sixth year at this, and I've found it's a real socio-psychological test out here. Usually you don't have a lot of eye contact, but if you stare at people and say hello they usually come back out and drop in some change." Lois Covert, McClouth resident, stood outside of Walmart yesterday with Armbrister for an hour in the "I don't care if it rains, just as long as it doesn't get cold and freezing." Covert said. "No matter how cold it gets, it makes you feel good, and you know the money is going to a good cause." Money collected from the bell campaign, which will end Dec. 31, makes up 65 percent of the Army's yearly budget, said George Windham, commanding officer for the Salvation Army. Even though students usually find their pockets empty this time of year, they are still giving, the bell ringers said. Liz Hansen, Chicago junior, said she felt bad when she walked by without giving money to the bell ringers. standing there, and they look so cold," she said. Her friend, Kristen Lyon, St. Louis, junior, said she always gave spare change when she had it. "I don't feel guilty because there are so many all over town, and you can't be expected to give to all of them," she said. "Being a college student, sometimes I think I need the money as much as they do." "I feel guilty because they're just Kansas University Adjunct Professor Of Biological Science and WINNER of the Royal Zoological Society Of New South Wales' 1993 Whitley Certificate For Best Field Guide AuthorDAPHNE FAUTIN Will be signing copies of her book Retail Price $29.98 Field guide to ANEMONEFISHES and their HOST SEA ANEMONES Saturday, December 4th, 1993 12 noon-3:00pm & INNOIS 913/842-5950 JAYHAWK TROPICAL FISH VOLARISTS IN BUSINESS SINCE 1981 Last night's forum on the South Lawrence Trafficway and its impact on the wetlands south of Haskell Indian Nations University began with a prayer. "For a majority of the Indian people, that's just the way we're taught," said George Tiger, a member of the Haskell Board of Regents. the purpose of the forum, held at the Walnut Room in the Kansas Union by the St. Lawrence Human Services Committee, Haskell Student Senate and KU Environs, was to explore the issue of the trafficway and not to debate with Douglas County officials, said Scott Schulte, KU graduate and treasurer of the services committee. Trafficway issue concerns many on KU campus By Carlos Tejada Kansan staff writer "We wanted to structure a discussion that focuses on solutions," he said. "We want an opportunity to be heard, and all we're saying is that we've been through this before," said Tiger, a Haskell alumnus. Both city and county officials have said that the trafficway would ease traffic on 23rd and Iowa streets and allow greater access to the west side of the city. Discussion of wetlands concentrates on solutions Tiger spoke on the spiritual meaning of the wetlands, where plans to build a four-lane trafficway over 31st Street have Haskell students and officials worried. He said the trafficway would increase noise levels and ruin the religious significance of the land for the Haskell student body. Although no county officials were officially invited, Jim Chappell, county commissioner, attended to listen to Haskell's concerns. "I don't think we can hear enough of the perspective Haskell Indian Nations University has about the wetlands and the roadway," he said. Joyce Wolf, a member of Jayhawk Audubon, said that flood control was one of the most important aspects of wetlands and that wetlands would have helped the Midwest during this summer's floods if many of them already had not been drained. Gaele Gillespie, a member of KU's library faculty who attended to learn more about the issue, said the trafficway placed money over people. But county officials should have asked Haskell's permission to build the trafficway before planning it, he said. But two-thirds of the fish consumed by people spend at least part of their life cycle in wetlands, Boyd said. He said the wetlands provided vital links to the environment's food chain and helped with flood control. "It's almost like having a church with no walls," he said. "I'm wondering whether it's really needed at all," she said. "Most people feel wetlands are just infested with mosquitoes and are muddy and smelly," he said. "They try to avoid them or drain them." Haskell's medicine wheel and sweat lodges โ€” which lie in the wetlands โ€” would be violated by the trafficway, said Lonnie Duncan, a member of the Haskell Student Senate. Roger Boyd, a professor of Baker University who spoke at the forum, said the trafficway would damage the fragile ecosystem of the wetlands. He said most people did not realize their environmental importance. The extended hours will begin today and end Dec. 19.
