12 Friday, September 17, 1993 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Book offer draws resistance LesBiGay plans gift to junior highs By Carlos Tejada Kansan staff writer Megan Joyce's plan to buy books for Lawrence's three junior high schools sounds simple enough. But Joyce, Lawrence sophomore, and other members of Lesbian Bisexual Gay Services of Kansas want to raise money from KU students to buy books different from others in the libraries at South, West and Central Junior High schools — books on being homosexual. "There's a great need for education not only for the gay and lesbian people in school but for teachers and faculty as well," Joyce said. "It would dispel a lot of myths and put a lot of reality into the schools." Joyce said the junior high age of 12-15 years old was a sensitive time for someone discovering his or her sexual orientation. "It's an age where they just need to explore for themselves," she said. Keeping the books in junior high libraries would allow better access to them, Joyce said. She said because students that age had to travel with their parents they would find books in the junior high library more convenient than books in the Lawrence Public Library. In addition, Vespestad said that controversial books must be approved by a committee of parents before being made available. And in this case, the decision also would involve the Lawrence School Board, she said. Joyce said she tried to donate three books to West Junior High in the fall of 1902, but Vespestad said she only could find one of the books. She said it was behind the counter and not on the library shelves. "It's a pretty good guess that some parents would have problems with that." she said. Vespestad said books on gay and lesbian issues would probably be met with parental opposition. A check through the library's computer catalog system yielded only one entry under "gay," Vespestad said. It was a cross-reference to a book on AIDS. Joyce said she planned to bring the board to the board at some future date. John Tacha, president of the school board, declined to say how either he or the board would react to gay and lesbian literature in the junior highs but said the issue would be brought before the board if Joyce brought it up. Tacha said he disagreed with Joyce on the issue of convenience for gay junior high students. He said the students would feel uncomfortable checking out books from the library where their classmates could see them. "A junior high student who has those kinds of awakenings would not want to go to a junior high library," he said. "That argument doesn't hold much water to me." P. K. Duncan, director of curriculum for the district, said she would oppose the idea. She said the evidence showed junior high children were too impressionable, and gay and lesbian books could confuse their orientation. "I don't know how to tell anybody I'm not biased," Duncan said. "But I do think it's a difficult age for a child." "It doesn't change your sexual orientation," she said. "It gives you a healthier perspective on your sexual orientation, whether gay or straight."

Magazine features KU singer Student receives national attention By Liz Klinger Kansan staff writer Kirsten Paludan, Lawrence senior, was one of four students nationwide selected to appear in the audition section of October's Downbeat, a nationally known jazz magazine. Paludan was one of several members of the KU Jazz Singers, which won Downbeat's 1993 Outstanding Performance Award, to be asked to submit a biography and photograph for the audition profile, which features rising talents from high schools and colleges across the nation. Students may associate Paludan with the singing of the national anthem at men's home basketball games. Paludan first tasted fame while standing on the Jayhawk emblem in the middle of Allen Field House and performing for thousands of basketball fans. Kirsten Paludan "When you get out there and everyone is screaming and yelling, it's a major rush," Paludan said. "It's like, 'Wow! This is what it would be like if I were famous.'" Paludan made her debut as a soloist in a first-grade recital. Phillip Paludan, professor of history, said that at the recital his daughter and a group of eight kids were lined up with their backs facing the audience. At one point each child would turn toward the audience and sing a short solo consisting of several humorous lyrics. Her father said Paludan's voice and singing style were mature for her age. "When Kirsten turned around, it was like an 18-year-old was singing," her father said. Paludan began taking weekly private voice lessons while she attended junior high school. In high school she was ranked twice as one of the top 10 soloists in a statewide competition. Paludan maintains a 3.5 grade point average as well as rehearsing four times a week with the singers and working at Victoria's Secret 25 hours a week. Paludan, who will graduate next year, knows what she would like to do in the future. "What I really want to do — and its kind of scary to talk about — is be a singer," Paludan said. Loan program helps sports clubs By Tracl Carl Kansan staff writer When Free State Walkers, a local walking club, opened two trails through Lawrence on March 1, it could not afford to buy the commemorative medals that celebrated the completion of the walk. But the Lawrence Sports Corporation's new loan program advanced the club the $400 dollars it needed to nav for the medals. The loan program was started to help sports organizations interested in starting or sponsoring an event, said Fred DeVictor, chairperson of the corporation and director of Parks and Recreation. Loans are interest-free, but a small administration fee may be required. "The main thing is to attract additional sporting events to the community," he said. Loan applicants had to show that the event they wanted to sponsor brought participants from other cities, he said. Free State Walkers fulfilled that requirement. It maps out non-competitive, year round walking trails that anyone is invited to complete. Upon completion of a trail, the participant can buy a medal for $5. The club is Lawrence's chapter of the national club, Volkswalkers. Volkswalkers' members try to walk in every state, said Judith Galas, secretary of Free State Walkers. About 240 people have completed the 10 kilometer Lawrence walk, including a busload of people from Maryland. "We've had walkers from all over the country." Galas said. Brett McCabe, convention sales manager at the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau, said sports activities would bring business and tourism to Lawrence. In 1988, Lawrence was the smallest city ever to sponsor the National Amateur Athletic Union Junior Olympic Games, and that event's success inspired more interest by the corporation and visitor's bureau to seek out national and regional tournaments for the city, he said. and families to Lawrence for a week." McCabe said. DeVictor said that profit from the games financed the establishment of the corporation and the loan program. With sports facilities at the University of Kansas, Haskell Indian Nations University and Lawrence High School, Lawrence is a possible location for many sporting events, he said. "It brought about 10,000 athletes Lawrence Officials Association also used the loan to bring a high school football training program to Lawrence in August, DeVictor said. Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, said she thought that KU sports clubs would use the loan program. "There is a need because there are so many things they want to do," she said. Groups needed to be aware that they would have to generate money to pay the loan, she said. "We certainly don't like them to get in debt and leave a legacy to other groups after them," she said.
