Calacci, Parris urge revamping
Staff Writer
By MELISSA THOMPSON
Jane Calceiell and David Parris say they want to build next year's Student Senate.
And, if elected in this week's elections as student body president and vice president, they say the reconstruction will start from the top.
Calacci, a Glendale, Mo., sophomore, and Parris, a Manhattan junior, said Sunday that they saw a chance this spring to create a new atmosphere for the Senate by redefining the roles of president and the vice president.
Both officers, they said, should act as mediators between the students and the University administration, and the ingagement does not need to be a bish权华
"There are plenty of people who know that well enough," Calacci said. The executive officers, she said, should be more concerned about the authority to others to maintain impolygon.
ANOTHER CHANGE that would contribute to a new atmosphere in the Senate would be increased personal interest in the candidates and their degree of involvement.
"I can't say this hasn't existed," Parris said. "but I sense it hasn't."
He said increased involvement of senators could actually lead to a more representative

Senate because the senators could contribute more knowledge about their district to the legislature.
Such an increase of representation, he said, would depend on the senators' actually doing their jobs. This would not be a bad thing, but they would see their ideas would actually be considered.

"THIS WHOLE WHING should be entered with an open mind." Farris said.
Calacei said she had concerns about projects on which the current Senate is working, especially the pre-paid legal service for KU students. She said she wondered whether the service would really be worth the investment.
"It needs to be looked at much more thoroughly," she said.
Parris said one problem he was interested in was the bus service*kE—U On Wheels. He suggested that a meeting should be held to allow students to air gropes about the

THEY DID NOT file until the day before the deadline, but they contend that they have lost no campaigning time. Most of their campaigning has been with individual students who have been curious enough to contact them.
Calacci said she was amazed at the
number of people who had called her, stopped her in class at her job and expressed concerns that they wanted the Senate to look into.
"I can listen better than I can talk," she said, "and there are people who know I'm special."
Those people, she said, are the ones that will vote.

Harper said he was interested in proposals that the current Senate Student Services Committee has been considering for changes in the bus system -KU On
HE SAID the proposed change from a one-man committee to an 11-member board would be a good first step toward improvement. The real problem, however, is the lack of buses, he said. He said he would service to extend office and weekends hourly.
Harper and Robinson, who are running with a coalition named Standpoint, said that they would like to redefine the jobs of the president and vice president.
1. unk the (student) Senate needs continuity from year to year," Robinson, Salma junior, said recently. He is a candidate for the vice presidential position.
Harper, who is running for the presidential spot, said a major shortcoming in the job had been the lack of delegation of authority.
He said that he and Harper, Lawrence junior, could provide continuity on the issues of pre-paid legal services for students and capital improvements in recreational facilities.
If such authority were given out to others, he said, it would free the president to establish stronger ties with the Legislature, students and administrators. He said he thought a president would have more time if he were not involved in every project.
"I ONLY need (the job) done one way," Harper said, "but I think a high level of organization is the key to keeping the president's office working."
he elected this week, the two candidates have said they would make the completion of the trial earlier.
Robinson said he would rather have the job of vice president because he would be the officer that defined the morale of the Senate.

"The job has a lack of role and it's lacked any type of definitiveness." Robinson said.
doing when they make decisions. He said the vice president also helped senators function during the election.
One of his chief concerns if he is elected, Robinson said, would be to meet individually with each senator and interactively with involved in projects or Senate committees.
The vice president's job, he said, was to see that everyone knew what they were
Last week, Ward Thompson, owner of two Lawrence taxi firms, requested a rate increase because he said the businesses had lost about $20,000 last year.
Harper and Robinson both expressed concern that they would be compared to their opponents. Jane Calaceh and David Dutton had additional team to a non-traditional team.
"You know, Harper and Robinson may as well have been in office in 1968 as 1978 because . . . well, it's going to be the same," he said.
"MAYBE some people have tried to make it look like we are running a traditional campaign and we are going to be traditional officers," Robinson said.
The commissioners requested a certified audit of the firms' finances before making a decision.
Lawrence city commissioners will consider a rate increase for tax service at their offices.
City to discuss taxi rates
Thompson said yesterday he would
present the audit to the commissioners tonight.
If the increase is approved, the fare for a one-mile ride will be $1.30. The present fare
The taxi companies operate under a city charter and the commission sets the rates.
Commissioners also will consider an application from the Sirlin Stockade restaurant, 1015 Iowa St., for a sign variance.
