New alcohol policy proposed
The Interfraternity Council is attempting to regulate alcohol policies at the University of Kansas.
By Lisa Moss
Kansan staff writer
On Oct. 17, an amendment to the IFC constitution was proposed that would
Prohibit chapter funds or funds pooled by members of a fraternity from being used to purchase alcohol for any chapter social activity.
Require that all social activities follow a bring cash-ba
Require that all social activities follow a bring-your-own-alcohol or cash-bar format with a licensed bartender.
Prohibit alcohol from being served or present at any pledge/associate social activity.
Prohibit open parties
funds or pooling of funds being used to purchase alcohol for any chapter social activity.
Open parties were defined as parties with unrestricted access by nonmembers.
The stated purpose of the amendment was to attempt to control and manage liability and risk involved with serving alcohol and to reduce chapter liability by promoting safe, controlled social activities.
The amendment was defeated Nov. 7. Each fraternity had three members cast votes, Twenty-three members voted to pass the amendment. Four members abstained, and 44 members voted against the amendment.
A second amendment proposed Nov. 7 also was defeated.
The second amendment did not include the prohibition of chapter
Three additional proposals to the original amendment were made: $\triangleright$ IFC would elect representatives from its membership to become part of the University of Kansas's drug awareness task force.
An alcohol education program would be established and presented to each of the member chapters. IFC would establish a committee made up of representatives of its member chapters to establish a "safe ride" program.
The amendment is now being reworked, said Mark Denton, president of Theta Chi. Denton abstained from voting.
from young-
"I see the bill being completely
redone and being passed in the
future." Denton said.
He said when the bill was rewritten it might completely outlaw open parties.
"I think it is great," he said. "We are in Kansas and we have got to abide by Kansas state law."
Denton said the amendments were defeated because they were too restrictive.
He said open fraternity parties were typical when the drinking age was 18. Then the drinking age was raised to 21.
rather to just take a little while for people to adjust and realize something needs to be done," Denton said. "I think it's a great move on the part of the fraternity system. It shows
that a lot of the leaders on campus want to get together and do something about it before something happens."
Jeff Risley, vice president of public relations for IFC, said the trend in the 1980s and 1970s was to have big parties.
"I think people are finally realizing that is not what the system is about," Risley said.
The reason it has taken a long time to change the system and the alcohol policies is because people are afraid of change, he said.
He said that if chapter money was not used to purchase alcohol, it could be spent on other things, such as hiring a band to play at a party.
People are scared that if the amendment was passed it would put a damper on parties, he said.
"A fraternity is not a big party," he said. "Of course social aspects should be a part of it, but we are here for an education."
Building, friendships is part of the system too. Risley said.
enforcement of the rules, if they ever are passed, would have to be worked out, Risley said.
Mike Heitmann, Pi Kappa Alpha president, said one of the reasons the amendment was defeated was because nothing had happened that really scared people.
He said that if the amendment passed, people would be reluctant to accept it at first.
"I think this bill will keep us from learning the hard way," he said.

"It's part of our effort to provide opportunities to see new and different types of technology that are available for faculty," said Breck Marion, director of media services for continuing education.

Catina Williams, the supervisor for the learning center at Central Missouri State University and a KAECT member, said, "What I've found is some actual, hands-on experience with things I've seen on paper but not in person."

Co-sponsoring the annual show with the University gave KAECT members the chance to see the new technology and encouraged more vendors to come.
The latest in video and computer technology was showcased Friday for faculty from the University of Kansas and other universities.
Kansas and other universities. Among the technology on display at the Holiday Inn Holidome show, co-sponsored by KU's department of continuing education and the Kansas Association for Educational Communications and Technology (KAECT), were a filmless still camera from Sony Corporation and the latest computers from Apple Computer and Zenith Data Systems.
Sony sent a complete Mavica filmless camera system.
biggest advantage to this system comes with the "the big advantage to this system," said Pat Barrett, a marketing assistant with the still image systems division of Soo...
worth about $14,000, to the show. Instead of using film, the camera uses a computer disk-like cartridge, a little bigger than a large matchbook.
Because the pictures are stored electronically, they can be sent electronically to anywhere around the world. he said.
"USA Today is using this system very actively," Barrett said.
Representatives from MacSource, an Apple Macintosh dealer in Overland Park that is opening a Lawrence branch, were showing Apple's new Macintosh Portable and Macintosh Ici. Zenith was showing its new MiniSport portable computer, a MS-DOS compatible machine that weighs about five pounds and is the size of a notebook when folded up.
Although the system is expensive, all of its costs are up front. Barrett said. There are no recurring costs for developing chemicals or paper.
Craig Haussness, computer education specialist for the State Department of Education said, "We haven't looked at the evaluations yet. But there have been a lot of people in the exhibits, and a lot have taken advantages of the breaks in the conference."
Group's events recognize Palestinian history
A group of 22 representatives from the General Union of Palestinian Students marched Friday afternoon between the Kansas Union and Strong Hall with a Palestinian flag and signs condemning the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
saueq Masoud, president of the organization, said campus marches were taking place nationally to recognize three events in Palestinian history.
By a Kansan reporter
He said Nov. 15 was the first anniversary of the Palestinian declaration of independence, and Nov. 29 would be the international day of recognition of Solidarity and Dec. 8 would be the third anniversary of the uprising on the West Bank.
Khalid Najib, vice president of GUPA, said the reason the march was conducted on campus was to make students at the University of Kansas aware of problems in Palestine.
"We're trying to change the point of view of Americans," he said. "We're not terrorists. We're people and we have our rights. We are such a small group that we're not going to
change political thinking in the Middle East, but we want more people to know about us. If we can do that, we've served our purpose here on campus."
Nader Mustafa, Jerusalem senior, said that he grew up on the West Bank and that fighting has been constant during his lifetime.
"We're just trying to try like other people do," he said. "Most people don't see the real picture of how it is. Palestinians are getting killed daily. We're not trying to show a bad picture, but a real picture."
