SenEx approves parking changes
by Merceda Ares
Kansan staff writer
The University Senate Executive Committee yesterday approved with some amendments parking changes proposed by the parking board. The proposal was issued by University Council for deliberation on Thursday.
If approved by the council, the proposed changes would go to the Board of Regements for final approval and then to the Legislature.
One change the parking board proposed might affect students who fail to pay their tickets on
Morris Faiman, chairman of the parking board, said there were often several yellow-sticker cars in red lots. He said he hoped that these measures would stop habitual offenders.
The board proposed raising the fine for parking in the wrong zone from $10 to $15. Also, cars will be towed away after three unpaid tickets instead of five, as the rule stands now.
The board recommended the addition of 400 yellow spaces in lot 91, north of the Spencer Museum of Art, after the removal of 400 metered stalls originally installed for visitors.
However, more visitor spaces will be installed in
the new parking garage north of Allen Field House.
The garage is scheduled to be completed in August.
The board proposed that of the garage's 776 spaces, 400 would be for visitors and 370 would be allocated to faculty, staff and students on a first come, first served basis.
Garage permits will cost $60 a year and will not be valid for parking anywhere else on campus.
SenEx added a flexibility clause in which the 400 visitor spaces could be reduced if visitor demand was not high enough to fill them. However, there could never be more than 400 visitor spaces.
The report also said that faculty and staff on West Campus must purchase the type of permit they qualified for. In the past, West Campus has been zoned as yellow permit parking.
"We're not saving all West Campus would be red," Faiman said. "If you're faculty or staff on this campus, you ought to purchase that permit. Leave yellow parking pqr students."
SenEx did not approve that proposal.
Jane Hutchinson, SenEx member, said she did not think the issue had been investigated fully because the board did not give specific reasons why it wanted to change each West Campus lot.
Bob Jerry, chairman of SenEx, said the parking, board did a good job overall.
"The parking board, as in past years, worked very hard," he said. "While I didn't agree with everything in the report, I realize it's impossible to please everyone."
- differentiating between short-term and long-term needs for medical parking permits.
Other changes proposed in the proposal include:
- developing a traffic study that would examine other alternatives to the park crunch SenEx and SenF.
- investigating the study would be more only if it did not appear.
cell walls 23 red stalks from red to blue in lot 33
channels 23 wall panels
- changing 15 yellow spaces to red in lot 71, south of Allen Field House
- discontinuing retired faculty from receiving free blue permits. Instead, they would be allowed a free red permit or a blue permit for $25 a year.
SenEx did not approve this proposal.
- changing 20 red spaces to blue in lot 39, on Memorial Drive.
- adding a row of 62 red spaces in lot 91.
- reconfiguring lot 50, east of Joseph R. Pearson Hall, to add 25 red spaces.

No Kansas organization unites Nigerians. Tomorrow, that will change.
Last June, Anthony Aiyaba and KU graduates Duke Okorie, Felix Oyeleye and Nathaniel Dikugo conducted their first meeting to discuss the establishment of the Nigerian Association in Kansas.
Their first public event, "African/ American Cultural Awareness," will
"We started together," said Okorie, president of the association. "We have a few Nigerians here in Lawrence and in Topeka and Kano that didn't have a formal body to bring us together From there, it took off."

The founders met through the Nigerian Students Association at the University of Kansas. The new Nige-
Membership dues are $45 a couple or $35 for singles. Edem A. Omon, secretary of the organization, said that half of the members were married.
The group has about 60 members and at least 10 are not Nigerian, Okorie said.
"We want to bridge the gap between African and American culture, to contribute to the understanding of the community." Omon said.
The association's first event will feature three speakers. Peter Upkopko will discuss "The State of Music and Performing Arts in Nigeria."
Emeka 0fiblek, KU assistant professor of business, will speak on "Nigeria 30 Years After Independence, Economic Reality."
Glickman's future uncertain for 1991
by John P. Milburn

Much of 1989 will be a period of sitting back, and watching what occurs in Kansas politics for U.S. Rep. Dan Glickman.
Kassebaum will be up for re-election in 1990.
Gickman, D-Kan, he would wait until U.S. Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kan, decided whether to run for election before announcing
Glickman, who was in Kansas for this weekend's Kansas Democratic Convention in Topeka, denied yesterday that he was planning now to run for the Senate or that he would be running for governor of Kansas.
One thing is for certain in 1991. At that time, the Kansas Legislature must redraw congressional districts and the state will lose one seat in the 2018 redistricting of Representatives because of a decline in the state's population.
"I will look at the situation as it develops." Glickman said.
Glickman represents the 4th District, which covers south-central Kansas. He said that the size of each county is about 500,000 people to more than 630,000.
There are hundreds of ways to redraw the state's districts. Glickman said, but the 3rd and 4th districts will remain as they are now to avoid dividing Johnson and Sedgwick Counties.
"We would rather not lose a seat at all," he said. "However, it is better to have quality representation than quantity."
Gleckman said the 5th District could be absorbed by the larger districts, such as the third or fourth. According to recent census figures.
KU receives $25 million annually for research from the federal government, he said.
He said he had also been talking with officials of other universities nationwide about ways to reverse the brain drain and development in the United States.
Glickman, who serves on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, said Japan and other nations in Western Europe had made great strides in science research and development in recent years.
He said the federal government funded graduate research through serveral programs, including National Science Foundation grants and substantive grants made to universities for directed studies.
Doctoral project charts AIDS victim's emotions
Glickman said that two concerns of university officials had the lack of manpower to conduct research on cancer. He added long-term and short-term projects.
Funding has been a concern because federal budget outlays have shrunk in recent years, Glickman said. He said that unless the federal government spent more money on research grants for science and technology, research at the nation's universities would suffer
While in Lawrence yesterday, Glickman met with Frances Horowitz, vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service and dean of graduate studies. He also met with research officials to discuss the University's graduate research funding concerns.
the rural areas of the state have declined in population.
“In terms of percentage of tota gross national product spent or research, the Japanese are eating our lunch.” Glickman said.

A KU counselor and researcher has seen the powerful effect of AIDS through the conversations, emotions and works with patients infected with the disease.
Jennifer Gordon, Lawrence doctoral student in counseling psychology and junior staff member of the University Counseling Center, said her research allowed *lar* to see how the epidemic of ADH had
Gordon presented her graduate research project yesterday at a brown bag luncheon in the Kansas Union.
"He wanted to get his story out and make a difference," Gordon said. "He wanted to educate people on what it's like to be infected."
Her research involved charting the emotional fluctuations and the psychological state of a Kansas City, Missouri woman with the disease. She called him Heathcliff.
"He was so worried about finding signs that he was getting sick," she said. "He would find himself happy crying, and then find himself crying the next."
Gordon said she met Heathcliff in 1986 at a meeting of the Good Samaritan project in Kansas City Two years later, he met, she said, he contacted her
Gordon said that her research involved a timeline of events and
--data collection. By observing the man's paintings, she said she saw different psychological themes including feelings about being infected about death and dying, fear of being a victim and a need to keep secret this infection.
The Good Samaritan Project is a community-based organization in the Kansas City area. It provides information and services for people with the disease, or those who have tested positive for the virus.
She said several things could be discovered from Heathcliff's example.
"We can learn what issues are raised by the life of a person who has tested positive for AIDS," she said.
Tormod Bakke, Tonsberg, Norway, junior, said he thought AIDS was an issue everyone eventually must cope with.
"In the future, we will all know someone who has AIDS." Bakke said. "It's very important when dealing with AIDS victims, that you take the whole person and how they are dealing with a life-threatening disease."

"I found the parallels between his condition and the symbolism of his paintings to be quite remarkable." Gordon said. "This type of research broadens what's possible in art. His paintings were very telling
Gordon said that she met with the 21-year-old on five separate occasions, each of which lasted for $1\frac{1}{2}$ hours. The woman was meaningful and enaging.

His paintings, she said, included one entitled "Hell," which presented imagery of impending death. Another painting, "Castle," used the symbolism of a deteriorating castle and dying valley to express the theme of his sickness and decay as a result of the disease.
