Tasheff says know-how her forte

Tedde Tasheff, candidate for student body president
Vox Populares: Latin for people's voice.
That's what Teddie Teshad wants to be.
Tasheb, Wichita junior, is running for student body president. Steve Owens, Salina sophomore, is her vice president running for state elections Wednesday and Thursday.
Tasheff and Owens said a major goal of their administration would be to make sure the 20 per cent representation that students have in the class makes board at the University is utilized.
Student representatives to committees in departments and schools often aren't familiar with the way the committees work in their background of issues involved, Tashef said.
There is also a lack of emphasis on the honor of being a student representative, she said, and many students don't take the job immediately until they've been on a board for a while.
"We want to start seminars and training sessions which will increase the effectiveness of student representatives in departments and schools." Tasheff said.
ideally, the chairman of a department could give new representatives the history
and background of a board at the seminar so the representative would have a good understanding of his job soon after he took office, she said.
Owens said he saw two new roles for the student body vice president in addition to his existing role.
The vice president should be an adviser to first-term senators and the chief lobbyist for KU students in the Kansas Legislature. He will also advise the university library hours and for women's athletics.
Tashef said her experience in University government made her the best qualified teacher in the department.
TASHEFF HAS BEEN in the Student Senate for two years and has been a member of StudEx both years. She was chairman of the Communications Committee and is currently the Student Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities Committee.
Tashef is now a member of SenEx and University Council. She is vice chairman of the University Committee on the Committee of the University Council and chairman of the Athletic Seating Board. She is also the honors program representative in the English department's policymaking board.
Owens is finishing his first year in the Senate and is a member of the Culture Council.
He is a Summerfield scholar and a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He is also on the Interfraternity Council's public relations committee and is a member of the faculty from the Office of Dean of Women in education. He is a coeducational, sophomore honor society.
ANOTHER PRIORITY of the Vox Populare platform would be working with the AT&T system.
Owens also served as assistant Student
Union Activities treasurer last year.
A summer employment placement center and an improved bus system are two goals she said she would pursue with city officials.
Tasheff said she would also like to start an experimental program for recycling University Daily Kansans in the residence halls and, later to expand the effort to other areas of the campus if the experiment was successful.
The Vox Populares Coalition also pledges to keep student fees down and to work for increased library hours and improvements in parking, traffic and security.
TASHEFF AND OWENS are encouraging
students to vote for the proposed satellite union in the referendum on this year's
Tasheff said there was a definite need for a student service facility in the west campus area. There isn't enough information or solid research available, but it will be useful to the destrict facilities for less than 60 students and 50 raise in student activity fees, she said.
The University of Kansas Athletic Corporation ticket subsidy needs study, Tasheff said. She and Owens are in favor of a ticket subsidy if it benefits the students, but there is no way to make it available to indicate how much actual benefit it provides from the ticket subsidy.
There should be strong student representation on the Athletic Corporation board to tell the board what students can play in football and basketball tickets. Tashafeh said.
There is also a need for an executive athletic board, she said. The large Athletic Corporation board has alumni members who have met with hess said, and doesn't meet often enough.
Students would have more influence on a smaller board that met more often, she

KU Med Center studv defended
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY
THE CENTER's research will focus on the development of new drugs for diseases of the central nervous system, such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and departments of biochemistry, chemistry, medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacology, pharmacology at the Medical Center and human biology, which will participate in the center's research.
"We interested in identifying what is wrong with a person with epilepsy, for example," Mertes said, "and what is the biochemical lesion that could cause it. We can locate the lesion, we can design drugs to alter it and hopefully cure epilepsy."
Nineteen professors and 30 new research assistants and graduate students will be involved in the center's research, which will begin April 1.

Higuchi said, "The real value of the grant is that it allows the University to carry out programs it would like to see carried out, and demands on the University's resources."
CHARGES THAT the examination wasn't thorough were made last week by Robert L. Kruse, MD, and two surgeons at the Med Center, as well as the four-member cardiothoracic surgery nurse team. Rels and Hannah resigned after the investigation and called the investigation a "whitewash."
The two other members of the panel, David Sabiston, Duke University, and Henry Bahson, University of Pittsburgh couldn't School, couldn't be reached for comment.
Laufman said he wouldn't risk his reputation to do a law enforcement and called some of the officers involved.

The grant culminates a two and one-half year effort by Mathias Mertes, professor of microbiology at UCLA (guchi, chairman and reagents' president), medicinal chemistry and the late Edward Smissman, former chairman of medicinal chemistry to establish a center for drug research at KU.
One of three doctors who found the KU Medical Center's facilities safe for heart surgery yesterday denied charges that the examination wasn't thorough.
A $1.25 million grant given by the National Institutes of Health (NWI) will put the University of Kansas in the national forefront of drug-related research, Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, said yesterday.
"It (the Med Center) is not the greatest facility in the world." Harold Lauman, Institute for Surgical Studies in New York City, said yesterday. But he added, "I've seen many plants that are not as good as the one in Kansas."
LAUFMAN, WHO VISITED the Med
The five-year grant, which will be used to establish a KU center for drug design, was the first awarded for such research by the NIH. Shankel said.
"He (Laufman) can only evaluate what he has been shown." Reis said.

He said the interdisciplinary research would make the center unique.
"We've been told, and we certainly do feel, that we have a unique situation here in being able to bring together a number of different disciplines," Hijucci said.
"One of the projects will involve seven professors and 10 research assistants, all committed to improving Hughiči said that KU had already demonstrated capacity to effectively conduct research effort."
Recognition of this ability and a previous NIH Health Science Advancement award be indicated.
Shankel said he didn't anticipate that the grant would bring in additional state funds, but that it would strengthen the University's capability to draw federal funds.
"Professor Higuchi's presence, as a regents' professor, has also contributed immensely to this spirit of comaraderie and cooperation," Shankel said.

The grant will improve teaching in the scientific disciplines, Higuchi said, because the material taught in the sciences has to be continually renewed by relevant research."
"Supplemental requests are being developed now." he said.
Higuchi said that the grant was intended to be a core around which other programs were built.

Five doctors at the Med Center were interviewed. Laufman said he was at the center when David Robinson was about one-half hour. The interviewers were selected by David W. Robinson, acting executive vice chancellor for the Med Center, because, Robinson said, the five doctors were "one of the best."
The five doctors interviewed were Creighton A. Hardin, chief of general surgery; Frank W. Masters, chief of plastic surgery; Antoni M. Diehl, chief of cardiology; pediatrics; David Pugh, adult cardiovascular physician; and Reis.

REIS AND HANNAH had halted heart surgery operations Dec. 1 because of a recent cardiac arrest.
Reis said yesterday he expected more resignations at the Med Center.
"Within two or three weeks there won't be a cardiac nurse there," Reis said.
The nurses would either resign or be reassigned, he said, in an administrative move to eliminate any nurses that had been associated with him.
Ronald Hizzo, heart-lung machine technician, said he would resign this week. The reasons for his resignation are what he said were the need for medical negotiation and the availability of another job.
INSTEAD OF TALKING with himself and the technician who operated the heart-lung machine in rooms 512 and 514, Rizzo said, "He hadn't invented one in three years.
"They talked to people who don't know their assets from a hole in the ground," he said. "They talked to people who really knew nothing about it."
The nurses contacted by the panelists weren't those who were involved in the day-to-day operations of the operating rooms, Rizzo said.
Rizzo echoed Reis' charge that the investigation hadn't been thorough.
Laufman said, "We talked to about 12 mares-five or six alone in the intensive training."
But the nurses in the cardiothoracic surgery team weren't contacted, he said.
Beer drinkers aged 18 to 21 can cool their suds a little easier now that a state senate bill to raise the beer drinking age to 21 was killed in committee last Thursday.
State Sen. Wayne Zimmerman, R-Olathe,
introduced the beer bill at the request of
some people in Olathe "who apparently had
problems with some beer," he said.
See SURGERY page 2
State Sen. Arden Booth, R-Lawrence, said Friday that the bill was defeated by 7-1 vote in the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee. Dissenting from the vote was State Sen. John Vermillion, R-Independence, he said.
18-year-olds can still drink beer
Booth said, "Some of us talked about increasing it from 21 to 85. I was just making darn sure it didn't have any support. I think we did the only responsible
Booth said he be had invited Ed Rofls, student body president, to testify on the bill because Rofls had an advocate of 18-year-old's rights in the past.
ROLFS SAID in testimony before the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee last Wednesday, "If you let me have the right to vote, the right to marry and get married, I would be told to sue, to die and to die on a battlefield, I think" would be asinine to not let me buy beer.
The principal proponents of the bill included the Rev. Richard E. Taylor Jr., executive director of the Kansas United Dry Forces. Booth said two law students from Washburn University and a student from Oklahoma State University in Gladstone testified on behalf of the bill.
KUAC free ticket policy mulled
Questions about the issuance of complimentary tickets to KU sporting events has sparked a report on the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation's (KUAC). The report is planned to be released at the Athletic Board's meeting in April.
By JACK FISCHER
Messer said the working press, parents of the athletes, KUAC staff members and recruits for various teams now received complimentary tickets.
Doug Messer, assistant athletic director and business manager, and Clyde Walker, athletic director, are preparing the report. Messer said last week that some change in the current policy probably would be recommended.
HOWEVER, THE TOTAL number of
"I have the list down here and if you came down I still didn't show it to you," Messer said. "What do you want me to say, that I give away a lot of free tickets?"
complimentary tickets and its cost were unavailable to the Kansan.
Fans who拍 for their tickets receive the best seats to KU sports events. Messier set up a studio in Manhattan.
However, Dave Shapiro, chairman of the Student Senate Sports Committee, said the complimentary tickets received by students and student recruits were "prime seats."
"The complimentary ticket holders are scattered all over." he said.
At football games about 200 recruits
received seats between the 28 and 40-yard
seats.
AT THAT TIME, he said, Walker an announced that an "in-depth" study would be conducted.
Walker said that the total number of complimentary tickets would be released with the report, and that no other information would be out until then, according to the senator.
A Student Senator, who asked not to be identified, said Walker "put up a brick wall" when asked about complimentary tickets.

Walker was unavailable for comment. The annual audit of KUAC reports the amounts budgeted and spent for compliance audits and the Office of Sports Information.

Chances of a similar bill reappearing in the future, Booth said, aren't likely.
However, he said, "We feel it's dead for this session of the legislature, but we're here."
HE SAID THAT he had told the legislature that passage of the bill would compound problems of enforcing beer laws, that the total state population of 18-year-olds who were responsible for any beer would be reduced and entrusted those under 21 with the power to

McDonald said future bills proposing age restrictions on the consumption of beer were always possible. He said the issue of alcohol misuse arisen several times in the past few years.
Clifford McDonald, the local Budweiser distributor and treasurer of the malt beverage association, said he had been sent by the company to Peru until its defeat in the committee.
