Senate OKs five campus budgets
By Michael Christie
Kansan staff writer
Five campus groups began the process of receiving funds for the next two years from Student Senate last night.
The Senate Finance and Executive committees voted to give revenue-cycle status to the University Dance Company, Graduate Student Council, and Music Department. The university Ber Music and New Directions Series, Campus Transportation and
itself.
Revenue-code hearings are held on odd years to allocate money to groups that are deemed necessary and beneficial to the student population by Senate. This year, 19 groups applied for revenue-code status.
She said the completion of the Lied Center would attract musicians to
campus because they would have more rehearsal space. Artists will be able to spend time with students, and would benefit the University, she said.
In its 30-minute session, Senate also turned an ear on to itself to determine whether it deserved funding. Carl Damon, Senate treasurer, implored committee members to take the proceedings seriously.
revenue-code hearings," he said to the members. "We cannot separate ourselves. We go through the same process."
To gain revenue-code status, a group must receive % approval from both StudEx and the finance committee. All five groups last night were approved, but exact figures were not available, said Troy Radakovich, vice chairperson of the finance committee.
Subtle sexism remains unrecognized by many
by Amy Francis Kansan staff writer
Barbara Ballard identified sexism of the 1990s as a "sly sexism" that had slipped into areas that many people might not regard as existent until they stopped and thought about it.
"Subtle sexism" was the topic at the Pine Room in the Kansas Union last night. About 45 people heard Ballard, associate dean of student life, discuss recognizing and dealing with sexism.
"I think everyone has to know what's offensive," she said. "A lot of times people do things and don't even realize it."
She said examples of sexism were cartoons that have only one female character, or cartoons that have a female character portrayed in a way Ballard also read an article that saved Smurtee as a sexist character.

But sexism is not limited to cartoons, Ballard said. She gave the audience examples of how sexism
Tiiu McGuire, Hutchinson senior, said, "I think people understand sexism is out there but don't realize how deep it is."
Ballard said victims of sexism could handle different situations in different ways; using humor, confronting the situation immediately and not letting emotions build up, not allowing oneself to be sidetracked by
"Sometimes you have to consider where the comment is coming from and make allowances," she said.
a comment or looking at who is making the comment.
Ballard said that sometimes a person does not mean for a comment to be sexist or does not realize when one is.

During the presentation, Ballard shared many personal instances in which sexism had occurred in her life. Others also shared stories.
Allison Silver sat in the corridor outside her Oliver Hall room yesterday to get out of the cold.
Silver's room, like many other rooms in Oliver, was without heating from Wednesday to yesterday afternoon due to a failure in the heating system earlier in the week.
Silver, Hawthorn Woods, Ill., freshman, said she and her roommate decided to stay in the coriander garden and found it warmer than their rooms.
"Oh, it's crazy," Silver said. "Last night I slept in sweats, a flannel nightgown and a sweater. I'm so angry."
Terron Jones, associate director of student housing, said workers located a failure in a heat exchanger yesterday afternoon and had fixed the problem by 5 p.m.
The failure of the heat exchanger, which changes the steam of Oliver's boiler to heat, was due to wear on the system. Jones said.
"It is similar to if the hot-water
heater in a home started to leak," he said.
Silver said that when the heat was off, she heard many rumors about when the repair would be completed, and word from the front desk on the progress of repairs was inconsistent.
"First, they said it would be fixed yesterday, then they said this afternoon. Now someone just told me they said it will take about a week." Silver said yesterday before the repairs were completed.
Laura Hagel, Kansas City,
Kan', freshman, said that
although her heat was off for
about three days, a room on
the same floor had been heated until
Wednesday night.
Jones said that because of the tube and grid system of the boiler, some rooms were affected while others were not.
Beth Trotter, St. Louis junior,
said the interruption of service
was inconvenient.
"I was just sitting under an electric blanket and wearing sweats," she said. "My friend's (heat) went out two days ago."
