In a lengthy meeting Tuesday
night, the University of Louisville
Student Senate approved all
budget proposals for University
student councils, central adminis­tration
and the Student Senate.
In all, over $73,000 was allo­cated
to the' various University or­ganizations
for yearly budgets,
but the way in which it was allo­cated
is a point of considerable
controversy.
"The Student Government
could have some impact if the
members spent money responsi­bly,"
said Frank Jemley, Student
Government Association presi­dent.
"But what the result of these
budget decisions is that we have
less credibility with the adminis­tration
and with the students."
Jemley said that the principal
fault he found with the budget de­cisions
is that most of the student
councils have money remaining in
their budgets this year, and all
have asked for increases for next
year.
Jemley said that nearly half the
entire $300,000 budget is being
spent for such things as student
entertainment on campus. "That's
irresponsible," said Jemley.
"That's not what we are here for."
"Well, it's over," said Kenny
Kurzendorfer, SGA executive
vice president after the four-hour
meeting. "I don't know if we did
the right thing, but it's over.

drafted by the Finance Committee
of the Student Senate, was pre-

A Louisville man and former
University of Louisv;ille student
has been arrested and charged
with sexual harassment after an
incident that occurred in U of L's '
Ekstrom Library.
Department of Public Safety of­ficials
reported that Keith T. Willis
has been charged with sexually
harassing a female University stu­dent
on the second floor of the li­brary.
"I feel like I've been attacked,"
said Kathryn Wall ace, a senior in
the College of Arts and Sciences
whom Willis accosted.
According to officials' reports,
this is not Willis' first offense. DPS
officials said they have known
about Willis and his so-called
"voyeurisms" for several weeks.
Wallace desribed the incident,
which took place Feb. 21.
"I was standing, looking at some
books in the Afro-American sec-tion,
when I noticed this man lying
on the floor," Wallace said. She
said the man had been looking up
her skirt.
When she realized the man was
present, she stepped back and
aske<t him what he was doing-She
said he then got up off the floor
and began to approach her.
"Then I ran to the administra­tive
offices of the library for help,"
Wallace said.
There she reported to David
Reed, director of the Division of
Central Libraries, what had hap­pened
and filed a formal com­plaint
against Willis. Reed alerted
DPS while he and Wallace went to
the library entrance so Wallace
could identify the man if he tried to
leave the building.
After a few moments, Willis
crossed the lobby of the library
and Wallace pointed him out to
Reed, who trit: to detain him.
Reed then followed Willis for sev­eral
blocks after he exited the li­brary.
Wallace later identified Willis
from a group of photos at the Hall
of Justice downtown. He was seen
the following week in the Ekstrom
Library and was arrested Feb. 28.
According to the police report,
Wi)lis shquted offensiye language
at the arresting officers and be­came
disorderly.
Willis is presently free on bail
pending his trial.
"If he comes on this campus, he
will be illegally trespassing, but
with all the students here, who
would know?" Wallace asked:
"He could be anywhere."
Wallace said that consideration
has prompted her to steer'clear of
the library.
"I haven't been in the library
since (the incident)," Wallace
said. "I haven't made up my mind
to go back there yet."
Reed said that incidents of
"flashing" and indecent exposure
are not uncommon in a library set­ting.
"This is not unusual," Reed
said. "This building does attract
this kind of disruptive element."
He added that this has been the
case at most, if not all, of the uni­versities
where he has worked.
"Tl:t.es.e people are extremely
hard to catch, also," said Reed. H.e
said that if more women report
sexual harassment, more offen­ders
can be caught.
"It is not an easy thing to do,"
said Reed. "It took a lot of courage
to do what Mrs. Wallace did. She
was frightened, and I can see
why."
Reed said that the standard pro­cedure
a woman should follow is
to go immediately to the adminis­trative
offices of the library andre­port
the offense. He will then alert
DPS to send officers to the library.
The DPS officers will search the
building to find the offender,
whom the victim will be required
to identify.
Reed said that in the past three
years, approximately 120 inci­Continued

U of L acquires ne\V bone-density scanner
By MARIANN KURTZ
Cardinal Assistant News Editor
The University of Louisville ...
Gynecological-Obstetrical Foun­dation
Inc. has acquired a new
bone-density scanner - the only
one of its lcind in a six-state area.
This new device will enable
doctors to identify existing and
predict future problems as­sociated
with osteoporosis, a con­dition
characterized by exces­sively
thin bones that are prone to
breaking.
According to Karen Lutes, a
medical assistant who performs
the scanning process, women are
particularly susceptible to os­teoporosis.
"One of the big
reasons is menopause," said
Lutes. "When women reach age
50·55, the body stops producing
estrogen, a hormone that helps
keep the bones hard and strong."

Lutes also attributes personal
habits as contributing factors.
"Men are generally more active
and continue to drink milk
throughout their life," she said.
Most girls immediately cut out
milk and cheese and other dairy
products when they go on a diet
because of the high caloric content
of these products. However, she
added, at that point, girls usually
stop using these products com­pletely.
The new device, according to
Dr. Nancy Nealon, clinical in­structor
and director of the Ma­ture
Women's Center, allows doc­tors
to predict a woman's chances
of developing osteroporosis. It
also can assess a woman's risk so
that doctors can prescribe calcium
supplements or female hormones
to help combat the ailment.
According to Nealson, os­teoporosis
is a major health prob-
]em affecting 15 to 20 million
Americans. Aboutl.3 million frac­tures
blamed on osteoporosis
occur annually in people aged 45
and over. Lutes added that the
U.S. suffers from an 18 percent
mortality rate from bone fractures
alone.
The bone-density scanner has
been at home in Louisville for
about five weeks. During this
time, Lutes has scanned nearly 50
people, although only four actu­ally
were patients.
"It's kind of new to us, but every
day I get more and more calls,"
said Lutes. "Private doctors from
the county refer patients to us."
The cost of the 15-minute test is
$100. This cost is passed on in full
to the patient. Regarding radia­tion,
the exposure is very minute,
said Lute. "It gives off one hun­dredth
of the amount of radiation
given off by a single wrist X-ray .. ,
Pregnant women should never
receive X-rays, said Lutes. How­ever,
the amount of radiation as­sociated
with this test is so small, it
is deemed safe for expectant
mothers. Lutes has tested five
pregnant women since she began.
The primary objective of the
test, according to Lutes, is to de­termine
the condition of the bones
and to educate women on the pre­vention
of osteoporosis.
"It's a diagnostic test to help
doctors make decisions," said
Lutes. Most of her patients have
not been diagnosed as having os­teoporosis.
Lutes hopes many more people
will become aware of the disease
and the test. Most important to
Lutes is education - to make her
patients more aware. She said
that she spends her time talking to
her patients about the disease.
Re agan budget lllay cut student aid
By MIKE GREISSEL
Cardinal Starr Writer
President Reagan's budget pro­posals
for fiscal year 1986 - the
1986-87 school year - would cut
student financial aid by $2.3 bil­lion.
At least two million students
would have their aid "significantly
reduced" or eliminated, accord­ing
to Reagan Administration and
National Association of Student
Financial Aid Administrators
(NASFFA) figures.
Key budget policy and budget
cut proposals include lowering
family income ceilings that deter­mine
eligibility for various aid pro­grams;
lowering limits ora the total
aid a student may receive from all
programs; a restructured Guaran­teed
Student Loan program and
cuts in the aubsidies paid to pri­vate
lending institutions as an in­centive
to provide low-interest
loans to students; and a require­ment
that students pay at least
$800 of their own money for ex­penses
before being eligible for
any federal grant or loan pro­gram.
Most of the budget proposals
deal with funding levels for the
1986-87 school year, but there are
two exceptions. First, the budget
includes "proposed bppropriation
language" that would reduce the
PELL Grant Awards for students
in 1985-86, say NASF AA officials.
Second, the changes proposed
for GSL, if adopted, would go into
effect at some point in 1985-86. Fi­nancial
aid administrators are
"unclear at this point" exactly
what are the implications of cer­tain
language in the proposals.
Scott Kochenrath, senior coun­selor
and project director of Ken­tuckians
Metroversity - which
has been contracted by the Ken-tucky
Higher Education Assist­ance
Authority to coordinate the
GSL program - said Kentucky
education officials are "waiting to
see what's J(oinll to happen."
Kochenrath said that if the pro­posed
cuts go through Congress as
they are currently written, the ef­fect
on students "would probably
be disastrous."
"Tremendous hardships would
be placed on students. It's almost
like shooting yourself in the foot,''
he said, considering the impor­tance
of education in the United
States.
Kochenrath said he thought the
changes would not be passed as
they are now written. He said that
he and other officials "will hope
for the best and fear for the
worst."
Under the fiscal year 1986 pro­posal,
the PELL Grant Program
would be reduced by $644 million

sented, the senators were allowed
to amend this budget as they saw
fit, or to pass the budget as pro­posed.
Dozens of amendments were
proposed and adopted, which in
the end, raised budgets of there­spective
student councils. The
money to fund these budget in­creases
came from the Student
Senate Project Fund and the
Speaker Series fund.
The Project Fund was the har­dest
hit, starting at $13,268 and
dwindling down to $4,876 after the
student council members had pro­posed
their budget increases.
The Speaker Series fund was
used for student coucil increases.
The Speaker fund went from
$17,000 to $13,250.
"It is a definite mistake to take
money from the speaker fund,"
said Jemley. The speaker fund
has been responsible for bringing
such speakers to U of L as former
presidential candidate John An­derson
and medical pioneer Dr.
Albert Sabin.
Cuts in the Project and Speaker
Series funds are now allocated to
go for such things as the Dental,
Business and Law School's Balls
on the Belle (of Louisville), $600
each; a typewriter and stationery
for Arts & Sciences, $1, 700; travel
for the Graduate School, $500; and
awards, catering and flowers for
the School of Education, $350.
The Senate also voted to raise
all student councils' contingency
funds up to a minimum of 10 per­cent
of their line item totals (the
breakdown of all the funds allot­ted
to various events and
supplies). The contingency funds
were not to exceed $1,000.
However, in order to bring the
existing budgets up to at least 10
percent of their line totals, more
money had to be taken from the
Project Fund, approximately
$1,100.
Throughout the meeting, there
was considerable banter between
the senators on exactly what ac­tion
should be taken with the
budgeting process and how it
should be done ..
Many senators said that they
wanted to go through the Finance
Committee's proposal line by line,
but shortly after, senators began
to make amendments about their
respective budgets, in no particu­lar
order.
Commenting on the increase in
council budgets, Rosemary
Ortman, Graduate School sena­tor,
said, "I would just like to com­ment
on what I see going on here
tonight. Those councils that are
receiving close to $10,000 consis­tently
over the years are mag­nanimously
offering to fund the
small groups. I truly appreciate
the whole nature of this money
grab this evening."
Although there were frequent
outbursts from senators and con­slant
disregard of the chairman's
warnings, the budget proposals
were passed as amended by the
senators.
In a related issue, the senators
discussed the funds that are usu­ally
left over in the SGA fund at
the end oft he year. The reason for

Students protest 'mass
eviction of Confederate
Apartment residents'
ByT.A. PACK
Cardinal Staff Writer
Seve nty-four residents of the
University of Louisville's Confed­erate
Apartments signed a peti­tion
in protest of "the mass evic­tion
of Confederate Apartment re­sidents."
"There has been no eviction,"
said Harold Adams, assistant vice
president for student life. In fact,
he said, an eviction has not even
been conside red.
The petition, which was pre­sented
to U of L President Dr.
Donald Swain, said, "We the resi­dents
of Confederate Apartments
strongly object to having our
families forced out of our homes to
accommodate the football team.
We further object to the under­handed
way in which this mass
eviction is being carried out."
"They had to have three televis­ion
stations and five newsprint re­porters
calling them day and night
before they would admit a move
was in the works," said Elke
Speevack, a Confederate Apart­ments
resident. "We didn't hear
about it from (the) Housing (of­fice).
"I moved upstairs (in the apart­ment
building) a year ago. At that
time, they could have easily said,
'Look, you can move upstairs, but
we just want to warn you that you
may not be able to stay in that
apartment because we have some
long-range plans. Then I
wouldn't have said a word. Before
we built our kitchens, before we
improved our apa1·tments, before
we put our kids in school in the
area - we wouldn't have said a
word.
"We heard about it from mainte­nance
men, from basketball
coaches in high schools, every­body
but Housing Administra­tion."
The petition says the residents
believe their leases will not be re­newed
this May "in order to make
space for the police cadets, who in
turn are being displaced by the
football team."
"Those football players are be­hind
this," said Speevack, "and
they don't want (head coach How­ard)
Schnellenberger to look bad.
That is why they're using those
police cadets as a smoke screen.
Nobody over here believes it.
"Who do they think is going to
put more money in the alumni
fund . . . the future doctors,
lawyers, businessmen and scien­tists
that reside in the building
now or the football players?"
asked Speevack.
Adams said Schnellenberger's
request to have his football
players housed together "didn't
have anything to do with the re­quest
for SPI (the Southern Police
Institute residents) moving into
Confederate Apartments." He
