No IFC action is planned for SAE members
By Curtis Knapp
Kansan staff writer
Interfraternity Council has no plans to recommend disciplinary action for two members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity who were arrested Saturday, an IFC spokesman said yesterday.
J. Risley, vice president for public relations at IFC, said IFC did not have the authority to take action in the incident because the fraternity was not involved. The situation only became worse when a member of fraternity had intruded over them.
"All we can do is recommend to them what they should do," Risley said.
And he said that for now there were no plans for any recommendations to the SAE fraternity.
Matthew Willenborg, St. Louis freshman, and Greg McGivern, Topeka freshman, were arrested early Saturday morning after battering a man who tried to convince them to report a vehicle accident, according to police.
Bryce Petty, SAE president, could not be reached for comment.
Willenberg was suspended from the fraternity as the result of a March 30 incident in which he reportedly struck and racially insulted a
IFC does not have authority to take action in the incident because the fraternity was not involved. The situation only involved the two students, and the fraternity has jurisdiction over them

She said the school began losing faculty members several years ago with the retirement of
editing instructor John Bremner and had lost four instructors since then.
Jeannette Johnson, assistant to the dean of education, said the School of Education was experiencing a large faculty turnover because of incidents. The school is working to fill nine positions.
She said that the school had been trying to fill a math education position for about two years but that it had been difficult because there was a nationwide shortage of math educators.
Fred Rodriguez, associate professor of curriculum and instruction, said six of 20 positions in the university.
Carl Locke, dean of engineering, said that although there was no problem within the School of Engineering, there could be one within the next 10 years.

Decision on violations in campaign delayed
By Matt Taylor Kansan staff writer
The Elections Review Board discussed the physical properties of masking tape last night before postponing a decision on a complaint filed against two Student Senate coalitions.
The board dismissed all but one of several alleged campaign violations by the YOU and Fast Break coalitions. The board had received complaints last week that the coalitions placed campaign fliers on off-camp vehicles, drew campaign messages on campus, sent posters on building posts, Todd Boerger, Real Representation presidential candidate, filed a written complaint against the two coalitions.
The board did not dismiss the complaint about the taped posters. Action was tabled until specific details were revealed, could be reviewed this morning.
Boerger claimed that his running mate, Mike Thomas, discov-
erased campaign posters of the two coalitions taped April 11 on the foyer wall in Blake Hall. Thomas reportedly informed campaign poll workers who removed the posters.
Boerger said the taped posters violated a Senate rule that prohibits all campaign materials with adhesive backing. The board said the adhesive backing of tape could be considered part of the campaign material once the tape came in contact with it.
Boerger defended another rule that states all campaign materials posted inside campus buildings are not permitted into individual building regulations.
Candidates from both coilitions claimed the board had no proof of who taped the posters on the wall. They said any student could have taped the posters to frame them.
The board did not know the specific regulations of Blake Hall, said Jo Hardestv, board chairman.
Recent tensions on campus motivate new 'action team'
By Pam Sollner
Kansan staff writer
Three KU administrators met with the Senate Executive Committee yesterday to review responses to recent campus tensions.
Robert Shelton, University
ombudman, said the Office of
ombudman would be expanded and
ombued with a team-type
approach.
he said an action team of faculty, staff, students and related personnel would receive incident reports, gather and assess information, and recommend action and strategy for improvement followed through by the ambulance.
"This group is intended to be outside the usual lines of authority," Shelton said. "It has some of the skills you yet with a different kind of clout."
Starting today, he said, the ambudman's office and the University's hospital work together to provide a 24-hour hottie for reporting incidents of harassment
The team would meet once a week for at least two hours.
or discrimination.
Shelton said the idea was to provide people with an immediate channel of action through the ambudman by enhancing the staff and program
Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, gave SenEx members a summary of the items addressed and actions taken after last month's racial incident at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and the protests that followed.
Ramaley said discussions and actions to improve KU's racial climate had been progressing before the incident.
The demands discussed in the last two weeks include areas in multicultural sensitivity, services and support for minorities, and enrollment and retention of minorities and faculty.
David Amberl, vice chancellor to student affairs, talked about the statement that SenEx issued about the incident. SenEx called for withdraft of University recognition of the fraternity and expulsion of the student if the actions were proven true.
GLSOK members ask for placement on advisory board
by Carol B. Shiney
Kansan staff writer
Members of Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas are concerned because they are not represented on the President's Round Table.
"There are several student leaders in our organization, and I feel we should be represented on it," said Griswold, member of GLSKO.
The Round Table is a student advisory board.
Griswold wrote a letter to David Amber, vice chancellor for student affairs, requesting that a member of the college committee review Amber received the letter Saturday.
"If I had known about this committee beforehand and known we were excluded, I would have written the book a long time ago," Griswold said.
She heard about the Round Table earlier this month after a meeting with Judith Ramalay, executive vice president, Ambler and other students.
Griswold said she was prepared to pursue the matter until a GLSOK representative was on the committee.
"I'm geared to fight." she said.
"I'm geared to fight," she said. Ambler said the Round Table met once a month to discuss campus issues. He started the group when he came to the University about 13 years ago.
"It's very informal," he said. "It has no official status as a governance group."
Ambler said about 20 people from different groups on campus attended the meetings. Groups include Student Senate, Graduate Student Council,
Association of University Residence Halls, Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic, Black Panhellenic Council, International Club, Black Student Union, Hispanic American Leader Commission on the Status of Women
Ambler said that when he started the group, he intended it to be made up of different students involved in government. He said the group had expanded slowly to include other organizations.
He said he would look at the possibility of including new student groups but declined to say whether he would allow a member of GLOSK to join.
"You've got to have the group be a good cross-section of the student body. Amber said." "If you tried to be a totally unworkable operation,"
He said he would send a letter of response to Griswold.
Liz Tolbert, member of GLSKO,
said she wrote a letter to Amber
regarding the Round Table two years
ago when she was director of
GLSKO. She never received a reply.
Amber said he did not remember
Ambler said he did not remember receiving a letter.
"If they sent me a letter two years ago, I doubt that I got it, because I try to answer all of my mail," he said.
Tobert said it seemed Ambler really listened to the students on the Round Table.
She said she thought it was important for a member of GLSOK to be included because numerically, gay men and lesbian women were the largest minority on campus at an estimated 10 to 15 percent of the student population.
