Budigs give $25,000 to drive

Chancellor Gene A. Budig and his wife, Gretchen, have contributed $25,000 to Campaign Kansas for the benefit of the schools of education and social welfare.

National campaign chairman Jordan L. Haines announced the gift Friday. Campaign Kansas is the fund-raising year, $177 million raising-funds revenue.
The Budds' gift will help finance career teaching awards in the School of Education and a social welfare teaching professorship. Previously, they have given gifts totaling $62,500 divided among the schools of education, social welfare and nursing and the KU libraries.

types that the administration and other students have of Black students," Garth said.
One area in which the BSU has seen improvement, she said, is with one-to-one student relations.
To accomplish its goal, she said, the BSU helped freshmen and transfer students at the start of the semester become acclimated to campus life by introducing them to the different departments and administrators at KU. Garth said the support continues during the semester by advising students in scheduling and with finals.
"I think that now things are starting to change and students are feeling a little more comfortable to come up and talk to African-American students or say, 'Well, can I come to a meeting?' and to come," Garth said.
However, she added that a lot of work remains for things to get better for Black students.
"I think that Black students at the University have to be more active in changing the course of the University and how they deal with African-American students," Garth said. "The only way that's going to happen is through persistence and through patience. I'm hopeful, but I'm not totally optimistic.
"And so we're still continuing to do things. I just think that we don't want to be to the point where we think everything is just beautiful, everything is just wonderful, and when it happens not to be that way.
"I just don't want everything that's been said to make it seem like American-American students aren't hopeful and that they're not looking to the future. I think that when you're in a position of being down that you're pessimistic, but you're not to the point where you don't continue to do something."

a 39-member student group that deals with environmental concerns. He said the group had attracted more interest this year because of increased environmental awareness.
then we become deflated because everything hasn't turned out right."
"We have a lot more members this year than last because it's a more popular issue with articles in Time and National Geographic," Horan said. "The magazines made it more visible, probably more pressing than people thought."
Horan can look to a lengthy list of activities that the group has been involved in this year. Environs played a major role in getting plastic foam products banned from the campus and opening KU to a local recycling company. The group also has protested a proposed above-ground, low-level radioactive nuclear waste dump in Nebraska, he said. He said that the Fort Riley recreation affairs in the Flint Hills
The group's accomplishments have pleased him, Horan said, and he is satisfied with the tactics it has employed to gain results.
"We could go more to the left if we wanted to, but we have a real good reputation with the University and would underline our purposes."
Liz Maggard, Lawrence resident, is a long-time activist and a member of Latin American Solidarity. The group, established in 1978, is focusing its efforts to ensure free and fair elections in February in Nicaragua.
"The general perspective thinking is that peace and justice in
Central and South America will be accomplished best through self-determination," she said. "We don't think you can have self-determination if an outside country like the powerful United States interferes."
Maggard traces her activism to her upbringing. Her father was a missionary for the Organized Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints and her mother was a registered nurse.
"I was brought up to believe that the most important thing to do is to help people," she said.
Championing such uplift battles as prison reform and mental patients' rights has made Magad, wary but not weary, she said.
"I saw a poll that said 59 percent in the United States would support armed intervention of foreign countries," she said. "Given the U.S. track record in overthrows, it sure scares the heck out of me."
Andrew Johnson, Shawnee senior, is president of the KU chapter of Amnesty International. He said he joined the group because he strongly supported human rights and wanted to do something about his feelings. Johnson is distressed, he said, because most people don't share in activism today as they did 20 years ago.
"It's hard to get a protest going when something bad is going on." he said. "People have to break free of being self-conscious because it's not acceptable behavior. It seems that people are much more apathetic today, and I feel I almost need to be active because so many are apathetic.
"I hope my efforts make more people active. Our society is not promoting this as it was in the '60s."

National Liberation Trust, the bill
will cost $85 million in military aid and $12 million for police training and equipment.
Because lawmakers padded the bill with dozens of provisions requiring that certain amounts go to various other countries and programs, it is unlikely there will be enough military aid money left to give the rightist government of Alfredo Cristiani its full aid complement.
The bill provided $15 million to support the U.N. Population Fund, reversing a five-year ban on U.S. aid to that agency. The aid was included in the Senate by Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md.
