Defense policy fought by universities
By Eric Nelson
Kansan staff writer
KU officials wanting a change in the Department of Defense policy discriminating against gays and lesbians have been waiting for a national surge of support from other institutions.
Having received information from two Midwest universities, officials say it appears support may be growing.
Frances Ingemann, chairperson of the University Senate Executive
Committee, has received word from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln and Washington University in St. Louis about efforts in calling for a change in the Department of Defense policy.
"It ites look as if campuses around the Midwest, as well as the rest of the country, are becoming aware of the issue," she said.
Ingemann said the momentum seemed to be snowballing into a national movement
Academic Senate, a faculty body, stated that if the discriminatory policy was not changed by Jan. 1, 1993, the body will urge the chancellor to renegotiate the contracts with the three branches of the military operating ROTC programs at the university.
At Nebraska, a resolution by its
Ingemann said this would include not giving ROTC instructors faculty status and not allowing credit for the courses.
The action taken by Washington University is similar to what KU did
last semester. A committee made up of Washington faculty and students announced the Department of Defense and called for a national change.
But Nebraska's deadline and call for a renegotiation of the contracts are actions KU has not taken, Ingemann said.
She said that Nebraska's initiative seemed to show that it supported training at the school but that it did not be associated with discrimination.
Del Shankel, interim executive vice chancellor, said he was encouraged by the news from other schools
"It's nice to see other universities are taking the same kind of approaches we are." he said.
Shankel said he was not sure what the Nebraska chancellor's response to Mr. Browder was.
Pat Warren, Student Executive Committee chairperson, said he also was encouraged by the prospects of a joint Big Eight effort against the discrimination
But Nebraska's deadline was not realistic, Warren said.
"I don't think setting a deadline that soon is really a good thing," he said.
Warren said that unless the policy was changed by an executive order from President Bush, the change would be slow in coming. He saw 1994 or 1955 as realistic deadlines.

Congress seeks swift resolution
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON A coast-to-coast rail strike was set for this morning after last ditch contract talks with the company. Its unions broke off yesterday night.
As many as 250,000 workers were expected to walk off their jobs this morning in the first nationwide rail strike in nearly a decade. Such a walkout could strand passengers stop the flow of one-third of U.S. goods and idle as many as a half-million non-railroad workers.
"We do not apologize to anyone for what we have to do," Mac Fleming, president of the 55,000-member Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees, said after the midnight bargaining deadline expired
Talks broke off even before the federal imposed cooling off period on the plant.
Fleming said he had ordered his workers to go on strike at approx-
White House press secretary Martin Fitzwater said the Bush administration was prepared to work with Congress on speedy legislation to impose a settlement and end the strike.
Congressional leaders had refused to enact legislation to stop a strike before it started, but yesterday, meeting behind closed doors, said that if a walkout occurred, they would infringe legislation to resolve the dispute.
"My feeling is that, given the nature of the economy, it is important to act in a timely fashion," said Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass, chairperson of the Senate Education and Labor Committee.

Hamed Ghazali leads about 120 Muslims in prayer at a service at the Burge Union marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
Muslims celebrate end of Ramadan
By Patricia Roias
Kansan staff writer
Facing Mecca, local Muslims said their morning prayers yesterday, the last day of Ramadan.
About 120 Muslims gathered in the morning at the Burge Union to celebrate 'Eid Al-Fetr, the feast celebrate the breaking of fasting.
'Eid Al-Fetr marks the end of Ramadan, a month-long period of daytime fasting and extra prayers.
Hamed Ghazali, president of the Muslim Student Association, said fasting was a way of becoming
aware of other people's needs.
"When you do not eat and you do not drink, you start to feel like hungry people feel, like deprived people feel," Ghazali said. "And then you will be more inclined to help them."
He said Ramadan helped bring the Muslim community closer. During this period Muslims practice self-control.
"We are supposed not to utter a bad word while we are fasting." Ghazali said. "To be nice to other people, to be helpful."
In the last days of Ramadan, every Muslim contributes with the Zakah, an amount of food or money to be distributed among the needy.
This year in Lawrence, members of the Muslim community contributed at least $7 each, Ghazali said. Parents are supposed to pay this amount themselves and each of their children, regardless of the child's age.
"It's a pleasure for the Muslims to have this day," Ghazali said after the prayers. "At the same time, we should not forget the suffering of all those who are suffering. All over the world, Muslims are suffering."
Participants in yesterday's 'Eid Al-Fetr were careful not to overlook their fellow Muslims who were less fortunate.
He made specific reference to Muslims in Iraq and Kashmir, a region in northwest India. He acknowledged the suffering of those who had lost friends and relatives in the Persian Gulf War and other conflicts around the world.

President Bush said yesterday that allied military forces would create encampments within northern Iraq as
greatly expanded and more ambitious relief effort for tens of thousands of Kurds fleeing from Saddam Hussein's forces.
'The most important thing is to get Saddam Hussein out of there.'
-George Bush See story page 7
At a White House news conference, Bush said relief supplies would be provided for the Kurds, tens of thousands of whom are caught in a man's land attempting to flee Iraq for Turkey and Iran.
He said that responsibility for the refugee sites would be turned over as soon as possible to the United Nations and emphasized that the United
States had no intention of occupying territory in Iraq.
At the same time, the president renewed his statement that U.S. forces would not become involved in domestic Iraqi turmoil.
vided at these temporary sites." Bush said. He said he appreciated that Kurds would otherwise fear for their safety in Iraq.
Relief workers and the State Department said that up to 1,000 refugees may be dying of exposure, dehydration and dysentery along the Turkish border daily.
Bush did not describe how U.S. and other forces would set up the environment.
Turkey said there were 600,000 Iraqi refugees — most of them Kurds — on its border, 400,000 of them inside Turkey. Iran said close to 1 million of Iraq's 4 million Kurds crossed its border.

The Student Senate Elections Commission continued to hear complaints last night against the two coalitions that ran for Student Senate and election, at the time it would take to complete the hearings.
In an agreement reached by Facts, Impact and the commission, between 10 and 25 minor violation complains against Impact were dropped, and between 25 and 35 against Facts were dropped. In a third context to complaints that Tom Poer, elections commissioner, verified as minor violations.
Facts pleaded no contest to 55 minor violations, and Impact pleaded no contest to 10.

Greg Hughes and Pat Warren filed a complaint that Facts used fraudulent information about
Jason McIntosh and Giles Smith, then Senate candidates, on one of its fliers.
Hughes, Associated Students of Kansas campus director, said that McIntosh had not been involved with Senate for three years and that Smith was not in the Rock or University Council, as was printed on a flier.
David Hardy, commission member, said he would be hesitant to consider such information as fraudulent, given the serious nature of the word "fraud."
Warren, Senate executive committee chairperson, said Smith had been elected to University Council for next year but had not attended a meeting yet.
McIntosh said that he had been involved in Senate for three years but that during his first semester he resigned from the Senate finance committee for grade considerations.
Smith said he had written letters to Topela lobbying for ASK and considered his actions

According to election rules, coalitions must submit a budget of intended expenditures.
McIntosh said the definition of the word "intended" was debatable.
The commission also heard a complaint, filed by Weingarner, against Facts regarding the use of "table tents," pyramid-shaped campaign advertisements that Facts members used on campus.
According to the complaint, a Facts member was informed by a commission representative that the tents had to be removed within 45 minutes because they were not allowed by election rules, but they were not removed until several hours later.
McIntosh said he had made sure that the tents were removed as soon as he found out they needed
