Tedde Tashseff, student body president, has found riding "cross country" in her jeep one way to relax, especially when it has friends like Sherry McKee, Pharis, Ariz.
Senate not only Tasheff territory

If you happen to be in one of Lawrence's city parks late some night, watch out for a yellow open-air jeep driven by a tall woman wearing a big, floppy, blue bola-dat hat.
It might be Tedde Tasheff, student body president.
Last fall, Tasheh and some of her partying friends drove off the beaten track of a Lawrence street in Tasheh's jeep and went for a ride through Centennial Park.
Most of her joy riding, however, is confined to country roads and city streets, Tashseff said last week. Her big "cross- country" days were back in high school.
"I really used to do it more in Wichita (or her hometown) where I knew a lot of the characters."
Tašbeff's jeep isn't her only mark of
ability. But it may be at-by-again
name: Patra Theodora Tašbeff
"MY DAD'S PARENTS emigrated from Bulgaria and I was named after my grandmother," she said. "Petra' is of Greek origin and means 'rock.'"
Tasheff isn't sure what "Theodor" means, but she thinks it means "divine
Well, then, what does Tasheff mean?
"I don't think it means anything," she said.
"It may mean 'blacksmith' in Bulgarian for all I know."
Tasheff has other names, too. Kala Tsasheff, dean from the University, backs him in blackwear originally belonged to a woman who, according to Stroup, was KU's first female student.
"IT NOT A practicing member of any groups or organizations that are in a really practical, political sense promoting me as a feminist myself a feminist personally," she said.
But although she's a woman, Tashieff doesn't consider herself a representative of women.
Holding political office is nothing new for Tasheff. She was vice president of the student body at Wichita Heights High School and was a student student at KU
before winning the race for student body president in March.
Tasheff's real love is English. Two weeks ago, she was awarded a James B. Kennedy scholarship for excellence in the study of literature. She would like to continue her English in graduate school; she said, but will probably apply for law school instead.
"I'm just too discouraged with the job market in that area (teaching English)."
MORE EFFECTIVE student representation on academic policy-making committees is one thing Tashef wants to see achieved during her administration.
According to University rules, the student body is entitled to 20 per cent representation in a departmental committee and its mittees, in the past, Taash罪 said, this representation hasn't worked effectively because student representatives were often unable to participate in the issues and workings of these committees.
Tasheff's administration, through the Senate's Academic Affairs committee, will soon hold sessions for the student committee to discuss them with them with the policy-making committees.
Tasheef said she thought the effectiveness of this representation had become more important in recent years because KU was one of the world's most valuable money it needed from the state legislature.
"WHEN THERE are considerations and cuts being made on the state level for faculty salaries and merit salary incentives, more important to have students in these academic policy-making bodies, which determine how departments determine
"the perennial problem of drawing attention to what is done (in the Senate) still remains."
Another goal Tashaeff wants to achieve is to have students communicate through grouping and interaction.
The communications committee is working on ways to better inform students about the issues dealt with by the Senate. The first issue of a monthly newsletter for the community, written by a residence halls and other student living groups for that purpose. Also, the committee plans a series of meetings with living groups to help inform students.
ALTHOUGH SHE has been a politician since her early high school days, Tasheff said she would never run for political office after she finished school.

consideration would be given to applicants with substantial experience, particularly with university-related problems, and to members of the Kansas Bar Association.
General counsel assistant sought
Within the next month, the University of
Kansas City junior time assistant
Mike David, University's senior
manager.
Davis, is KU's legal representative, said yesterday that the increasing numbers and the complexities of KU's legal issues were reasons for establishing the new position.
He said his work load had been so heavy that he wan't a task to do his job as well as he would.
Davis, a professor of law, teaches seven hours of classes in the School of Law this semester. he said he also had other professors such as committee duties, in the law school.
Davis said that about 40 applications had been received for the job, and that May 15 would be the last day applications would be accepted.
The assistant would probably begin working at KU Julv 1.
DAVIS SAID he would then select three to five applicants and interview those persons. He said that Chancellor Archie R. Dykes would hire the assistant, but that he expected Dykes would "give deference to my recommendations."
In addition to representing KU in all legal matters, Davis approves all contracts in the U.S. and overseas.
Davis said KU's size was one reason for a higher legal work load.
HE ALSO HAS served as chairman of a Title IX steering committee, investigating possible sex discrimination at KU, and worked with representatives of the U.S. Army who were here last month investigating discrimination complaints against KU.
Besides KU, Kansas State University is the only other state college or university with separate legal counsel, K-State has a practicing Manhattan attorney working half time as a legal representative, Davis said.
Davidis his job involved work for the Lawrence campus and matters involving educational aspects of the Medical University, but separates legal counsel for hospital-related matters.
"There is no doubt about it," he said. "Our team knows that we have the Med Center here, but I will tell you."
DAVIS SAID he agreed with Dykes' past statements that a general intrusion of state and Federal government regulations was a major cause of the need for increased legal
He said KU had advertised nationally and locally for his assistant. He said that of 40 applications already received, only one applicant was now directly involved with KU.
He estimated that two-thirds of the applicants were from Kansas.
The only requirement for the job, Davis said, is that the applicant be a graduate of a doctoral degree.
