Students may pay more to park
By Christine Reinolds
Kansan staff writer
Kendall Talley usually parks in the
Alumni Place parking lot except late
at night when he is forced to park on
the street.
If parking permit increases are passed by the Board of Regents, Talley, Concordia sophomore, could pay $10 more for a parking sticker that cannot always assure him a space in campus lots.
KU student and faculty parking permit fees will increase $5 to $10 if the amendments are passed.
"The increase would make me mad because we don't have enough spaces to park in already." he said.
The Parking Board, composed of Done Kearns, director of parking, Edwyna Gilbert, Regents appointed hearing officer, and two staff mem- approved the proposal after waiting 15 minutes for public comment.
"There is not much controversy," Kearns said. "It was published in the Kansan. Complaints usually happen early in the process."

The changes in permit fees, parking lots and zones were presented last semester and early this semester to the University Senate Executive Committee, University Council, Student Senate Executive Committee, Classified Senate and the Unclassified Professional Staff Association.
All of the meetings were open to public comment.
Kearns said the only complaint raised at the meetings was the $12 increase for residence hall parking permits. The Board changed the increase to $10, making it consistent
with the other permit changes.
"Everyone gets their day to talk about this." Kearns said. "The increases are needed to meet financial responsibilities and unkeep."
If the amendments are passed by the Regents the following changes
will go into effect Aug. 1:
Blue, red, yellow, residence halls permits and campus passes will increase $10 if the amendments are passed...
Blue and red motorcycle permits and moped, service and carpool permits will increase $5.
The blue portion of lot 41, on the west side of Learned Hall, will become a staff lot until 8:30 p.m.
- Lot 35, a blue lot southeast of the Military Science Building, will become a staff lot until 8:30 p.m.
**Lot 17, a blue lot north of Summerfield Hall, will open at 5 p.m. The lot now is restricted until 8:30 p.m.**
Violators in lot 100, at Alumnine Place, and lot 121, in the alley between Fulton Avenue and Ohio streets, will be towed for permit and wrong-zone violations.
- Lot 91, southeast of Memorial Stadium, will have eight additional red stalls, and eight meters will be moved from lot 91 to lot 33, on Mississippi Street.
- Meters in lot 129, east of Learned Hall, will be removed, and the area will be a no-parking zone.
Concert promotions modified at KJHK
By Sandra Moran
Kansan staff writer
KJHK has established new guidelines for concert promotions at the student radio station.
Tim Mensendiek, KJHK general manager, said there no longer would be a concert promotions department at KJHK.
Mensendiek said the concert promotions department staff would continue until the end of the semester. After that, the department will be considered part of the station promotions department.
Although promotions still will be a part of the format, they will be limited to ticket giveaways and an arrangement of the local concert calendar.
Another part of the revised format will be a 15- to 20-minute program tentatively scheduled for Friday afternoons. The show, "For the Record," will replace the current show, "Band of the Week." It will feature an interview with a different
band each week
Chris Beurman, KJHK station manager, said the show was replaced because "Band of the Week" was too promotional.
"The reason we're doing 'For the Record' is because it's a news show," he said.
Jason McIntosh, KJHK program director, spoke positively about the new program.
"It's taking away the problems," he said. "It's kind of like the spirit is still there."
The decision to define promotional guidelines stemmed from Menzendiek's efforts to educate the staff about the legalities of concert promotion at a noncommercial station.
As part of the process, Mensendiek gave all staff members affidavits and 15-page memorandums last week outlining sections of the Communications Act of 1934.
The students have until April 18 to sign and return the affidavits.
Douglas County exposes nude sunbathing debate
Kansan staff writer
By Kathryn Lancaster
Nude sunbathers in Douglas County may be facing a cover-up this spring.
After hearing debate last night about proposed legislation prohibiting nude sunbathing and swimming at Clinton Lake, county commissioners decided to table the issue until the county attorney reviews new proposals. Commissioners want to broaden legislation to make nudity illegal at all public parks and lakes in the county and establish an across-the-board fine.
"I'm not opposed to nudity on private property," commissioner Louie McElhaney said after the meeting. "But the lake is for the public."
Six people were at the meeting in support of nude bathers.
Dave Higgins, group spokesman,
said there was no need for the legislation.
"The last time I checked, Clinton
Lake was not in any imminent danger of being overrun by nude sunbathers," he said.
Higgins, who lives in Linnwood asked commissioners to consider establishing a clothing-optional beach at Clinton.
Dave Rhoades, Clinton Park manager, said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would oppose this type of exposure because the lake was designed to provide family recreation.
Anderson said the sheriffs office had never had problems with nude sunbathers at Clinton but had received an inquiry last summer about the legality of nude sunbathing.
The commission decided last week to hear debate about the issue after receiving a request from Loren Anderson, Douglas County sheriff.
"If people see nude sunbathers, they won't try to use the same area," he said.

Rating campus security Bill would require reporting crime data
Editor's note: This is the first of two stories about hearings for the U.S. House of Representatives campus crime bill.
By Rich Cornell Special to the Kansan
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Students will be able to rate their school's oncampus safety if a U.S. House of Representatives bill discussed yesterday becomes law.
Rep. Tom Coleman, R-Mo,
arranged yesterday's hearing for
input about the Seventeen stu-
dents' dismissal, which was
identified during the three-hour hearing.
If passed, the Campus Crime Awareness and Security Bill would require the 8,000 schools that receive federal funds to publish Uniform Crime Reports, which give annual crime statistics. In addition, schools would describe how they secure residence halls from intruders.
The bill was introduced last year by Rep. William Goodling, R-Penn. Goodling modeled it after a Pennsylvania law passed in response to the 1986 murder of a Lehigh University student.
A man raped and strangled the student after entering her residence hall through a door propped open for a pizza delivery person.
Coleman, ranking Republican,
member of the House Postsecondary
Committee, said the bill would help prevent similar
crimes at other schools.
"The college campus is not immune from crime," he said.
Students from four Missouri schools testified at the hearing that consistent crime statistics and open access databases on campus would promote safety.
Traci Bauer, of Southwest Missouri State University, said residence hall specialists there kept residents from knowing that a master key has been stolen.
That information, she said, should have been available to students, as should campus crime rates.
"I think the information is essential," Bauer said. "I think it would have a lot to do with where I went to school."
Dorothy Siegel, a crime data analyst from Towson State University in Maryland, said crime on campuses the amount reported by students.
More than a third of students surveyed nationwide have been victims of crime while at school, she said. The students said they committed crimes.
Most of the criminals and their victims were under the influence of alcohol at the time of the campus crimes, Siegel said.
Six of seven school administrators at the hearing supported the bill, although most offered suggestions to change its wording.
Robert Culbertson, vice president of academic affairs at Northwest Missouri State University, said most school officials perpetuated a myth that students could postpone adulthood responsibilities while at school.
Lenient discipline procedures now in place cannot deal with a recent increase in campus violence. he said.
"This reflects a naivete on the part of we people who administrate schools," Culbertson said.
