Chancellor Gene A. Budig spoke in a packed Strong Hall rotunda yesterday after about 80 students who were upset about the racial climate at KU marched to the administrative offices and demanded action.
Budig, who was attending meetings at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., returned to Lawrence when he learned about the protest. He arrived at Strong about 4 p.m.
About 350 people filled the room and lined the second-floor railing to hear Budig address minority issues and other student concerns. Budig
'Today, I offer the institution's apology to Ann Dean. I have asked the executive vice chancellor to take appropriate action, remembering the
Cruising into the '90s
Sporty new Ford Escort more than good-looking
by Scott Levinson
The 1991 Escort is much more than just a new car. It's the product of dramatic advancements in Ford small-car design. This is the next Ford Escort, conceived and developed to meet an exciting and challenging objective: nothing less than worldclass quality and customer satisfaction.
The sleek, new design of the '91 Escort combines contemporary good looks with the practical benefits that come with a 3.4 coeffecient drag. The sporty four-door hatchback bodystyle is complemented by an advanced interior design that boasts roominess and comfort for five passengers. The wrap-around instrument panel unifies the look of the interior and is arranged to maximize driver control and comfort. An electronic AM/FM stereo radio with digital clock and a smooth-shifting 5-speed manual transaxle are standard.
Nissan Stanzas meeting the competition head-on
bv Kathleen Stolle
Take note Camry and Accord. The new Nissan Stanza GXE sedans are in and ready to roll. This mid-sized gem outpaces the competition not only with its luxurious looks and feel, but also with its unbeatable horsepower (138 hp at 5600 rpm) and advanced traction control.
Amenities such as a sunroof wind deflector, compact disk player and fog lights
add sophistication to this slightly sporty luxury car. And Nissan's concern for safety is clearly expressed through its automatic front shoulder belt system and energy-absorbing steering column and bumpers.
With a 90.7 cubic foot interior plus a 14 cubic foot cargo capacity, the Stanza eliminates any worry about room. Price, too, is an already-remedied area of concern. Just ask anyone at Tony's Nissan, 2829 Iowa.
