According to Ed Rolfs, student body president, the Senate is scheduled to vote on
Senate size cut to be discussed
a bill that would cut the number of Senators in half. In another bill concerning elections, the Senate is expected to decide whether to limit the number of terms the student body president and vice president are allowed to serve.
those offices received an unfavorable recommendation from the Rights and Responsibilities Committee. The committee voted against the bill 4 to 8.
The bill limiting the number of terms for
Rolfa said yesterday that the Senate was also scheduled to decide on the formation of a new commission.
City pledges transportation study funds
The Lawrence City Commission pledged to help fund a proposed mass transit study for the city last night, although no amount was specified.
Three weeks ago, Steve McMurry, chairman of the Student Senate Transportation Committee, suggested to the commission and city officials that Lawrence and the University of Kansas work together to fund the study.
McMurray had said that 80 per cent of the money for the study, which was estimated from $30,000 to $40,000, would come from a private bank. The Transit Administration in Kansas City, Mo.
McMurry also had said the Senate would provide $2,000, half of the local share, for the study, and had requested that the city provide the same amount.
He told the commission that the figures he were only estimates that might change.
"I just can't say what 20 per cent of the total cost would be since I don't know the rate."
City Manager Buford Watson said last night the Lawrence Unified School District 497 school board had decided to contribute $500 to the city's share.
Watson said the transportation study should encompass the whole transportation service, rather than just buses. He also suggested that some control be maintained over who the consultant for the study would be.
Two persons had already contacted him to work on the study, he said.
City Commissioner Fred Pence said that Inspect Instal Junior College should be founded.
In other commission action, a report on conditions at the bus stop at 9th and Massachusetts streets stated that seating problems had been remedied.
In September, Bob Miller, owner of Janell's, a woman's clothing store at 847
Massachusetts St. complained that the crowds of students who waited at the bus stop next to his store had hurt his business by blocking his entrance and leaving litter.
Mike Wilden, assistant city manager,
said that the city had added extra seating
He said that Miller told him the problem had been alleviated to his satisfaction. Although there was still some litter there, Wilden said, that problem couldn't be entirely eliminated with so many people using the bus stop.
Future priorities
equal employment, but salary discrimination remained at KU.

The issue is left hanging from year to year, she said.
The sub-committee would be responsible to the Rights and Responsibilities Committee,
Another statement in the report emphasizes:
- the importance of library,
- research facilities.
Ginka said there was a willingness to support library programs and he approved
John L. Glinka, associate director of Watson Library, said the KU library system was operating on a "catch up" basis and bad been doing so for 10 years.
He said the library needed funds to pay books and periodicals and to maintain facilities.
The statement of support for new programs includes advising and advising to students.
Frances Horowitz, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said preliminary results of a recent study of the college's new advising system were good.
The results indicated that the new program had been favorably received by the students, and Horowitz said that it continue during next semester's enrolment.
She said the student was assigned an adviser who was in the student's major. The adviser is assigned to the student for two years.
According to Rolfs, the subcommittee would review existing procedures of the Senate with an eye toward including more minority group members in the Senate.

The Senate is also scheduled to consider a bill allowing students to vote on all enactment of the laws. The Senate will petition with the names of 20 per cent of the student body to the Electoral Commission of the Senate.
According to Steve McMurry, Transportation Committee chairman, a special assistant was necessary in the committee office because of routine office duties and for someone to be in the office frequently enough to establish definite office hours.
Bins said the commission already
listens to appeals from all the businesses
that were affected.
Rolfs said he thought such a provision could be used in the near future.
Cark said the commission didn't have使用权 to listen to appeals from city employees.
Rolfs said the agenda included a bill allocating $1,200 for a part-time special assistant in the Transportation Committee office.

"If we can become a board of appeals for sign variances, by God, we can become a board of appeals for human beings," he said.
Mibeck seconded Binns' motion. However, it was voted down three-to-two.
of appeals for employees. He said Clark's employee council lacked a way for city employees to appeal decisions by the city management.
Dennis Smith, 765 N. 5th St., a member of the employee association, said the city had made a bad decision, and the association would continue to seek recognition.
The audience again applauded
Alvin Samuels, 1498 W. 19th St. Ter., another member, said he reported Clark's proposal of an employee council because in the past similar systems had failed.
however, it was voted down three-to-two. Commissioner Fred Pence said he was against recognition because the city would have to pay more money. Pence told the employees to go back to work and try to improve the city services.
"Td strongly recommend the issue of a satellite union be considered under it (the reason for that?) Rolfs said. "I think something this big could be voted upon by the student body."
"we used city grievances for a firefighter," he said. "he got fired."
Samuels said the commission was
--irresponsible and only cared about what the businesses wanted.
Ruffs said if the bill is passed and the satellite union is an issue in the near future, a body could vote in a referendum at the regular spring Student Senate elections.
Norman Forer, associate professor of social welfare and adviser to the association, said he never anticipated the outcome.
Clark said the commission had listened to both sides of the story and had carefully come to a decision after several commissioners had chanen their minds.
"I thought that if the employees approached the commission with rational arguments they would listen to reason," he said. "I was wrong."
Forer said he hadn't heard much rational talk from the city commission. He said the city didn't investigate the seriousness of the situation carefully.
Forer said an employee council would fail because the city employees couldn't talk directly to the commission without fear of being fired.
"You are not in a position to defend city employees because you don't know what's happening."
"It's an unfortunate whipping boy," she said.
According to the city management, city employees can't talk to city commissioners.
The ranking of the statements isn't important, she said.
"The problems are more serious than you realize." Forer said.
Howitz said that counseling had been unfairly criticized. There is some dissatisfaction, she said, but it wasn't as widespread as we commonly thought.
The commission's decision had made the problems and the chances for confrontation more real.
"It's like asking, 'Which son do you love more?' she said. 'They all important.'

Its style verified its age, he said, because a bookcase that is seven and a half feet tall was made especially for the high ceilings of older houses.
Hewitt said that an old captain's desk in his booth sold for $600.
"I plan on having to wait a year before selling this," he said. "People itinerant don't have the money, or don't have the furniture to put it up."
Next to the front door of the market was the Winkler's iak icboch, priced at £175 and, according to Winkler, from 40 to 95-years-old.
Tuck Winkler, Winkler's wife and business partner, said that the completely refinished icebox would work today with ice and a dripp pan.
The history of the flea market building by enhance the nostalgic atmosphere of Quantum
Owned by Barteides Seed Company, the original building was burned by raiders during the Civil War in 1863. Construction on the present building was started the day after the raid and it was completed seven years later. The seed company left in 1961, and a furniture store inhabited the building until 1972.
The name "Quantrill s" came from the man who burned it down. William Quantrill.
Organizer of a Civil War war gueilla gang, whose followers included Frank and Jesse James, Quantill's raiders struck Lawrence on August 21, 1833. With a group of 249 men, Quantill led Union soldiers, and then burned various buildings, leaving 150 dead, and others wounded.
Described as "savage and cowardly," Quantrill's men also destroyed the Eldridge House, which had replaced the Free-State Hotel.
Corner said that the name "Quantrillt" was picked probably because Quantrillt was a known character.
