Election no contest
In fact, merely filing for election to one of the 106 eligible seats is likely to be as successful as stuffing the ballot boxes or drugging the other horses.
If this spring's Student Senate elections can be considered a race, there might not be enough to elect.
Only 40 candidates representing 17 districts had filed by last night for the Feb. 15-18 elections, Jill Grubaugh, Senate election committee chairman, said.
None of the races will be contested, and only three of them have enough candidates to play.
Prospective candidates must file a declaration of candidacy today at the
Student Senate office. They have until 5 p.m. today to pay the $3 fee, have the dean of their school or college approve the declaration and return it to the Senate
The school of Architecture and Nunemaker districts 1 and 2 are the only races with full slates. The School of Education, with eight seats, and the School of Law, with two seats, have no candidates.
A year ago, all the seats were contested.
Of 24 graduate seats available, only two have been swum, Grubba said. Liberal Arts and Sciences, with 15 open seats, has just four candidates.
City tables truck problem
The city of Lawrence was faced with a possible lawsuit last night, but Lawrence city commissioners agreed to a compromise to delay any legal action.
The legal problems began last week when the commissioners decided to cancel the acceptance of a new trash truck that had been delivered in November.
Don Unger, vice president of Midway Ford Truck Center Inc. in Kansas City, Mo., and Donald Hardy, the firm's attorney, made a compromise to the commissioners last night to avoid a lawsuit against the city for breaking the purchase contract.
The truck, called "a lemon" by several
commissioners, has been in service for only nine days since delivery.
The city contracted last March with Midway Ford to buy the truck. The truck has been at Midway Ford several times for repairs since its delivery.
According to the compromise, the city will keep the truck for 30 working days, and Midway Ford will work with the public works department to keep the truck in repair. At the end of that time, the company would detect the truck if they still think it is not reliable.
The commissioners voted unanimously to accept the compromise.
The Alan Bakke reverse discrimination case now before the Supreme Court involves a moral issue, and the court should decide it as such, a KU professor said yesterday.
By VERNON SMITH
Staff Writer
Bakke suit's implications discussed
Phillip Kissam, professor of law, discussed some of the moral and legal aspects of the Alan Bakek case, in a talk last fall that the KU undergraduate philoseb club.
But most of the discussion, which drew about 15 persons was an attempt by Kissam to show how law schools have dealt with affirmative action admissions programs and how these principles applied to the Bakke case.
One interesting interpretation of the Bakke case, Kissam said, is that it involves a situation in which the white majority is involved in litigation against itself, and if it finds the situation disturbing, it will reverse itself.
Bakke, a white civil engineer who was denied admission to the medical school at University of California at Davis, charged the school with reverse discrimination.
THE SCHOOL reserves 16 slots for minor students. Students thatatis not enrolled on being admitted.
Kissam said that the white majority involved in the case was the medical school, which decided on an affirmative action program and the state legislature.
"if they feel that the policy of reserving slots for minority applicants is really
disturbing, then they will and can change it," Kissam said. "Otherwise, if the discrimination were a situation in which the majority is against the minority, then it is not at all clear that they (the minority) would be able to change the situation.
Kissam said that the heart of Bakke's argument lay in his attack of the Davis racial classification system. Such systems, he said, are constitutionally suspect, and any classification by themprobably is done with bad motives. Therefore it requires a court to hear the courts if it is to conform with the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment.
KISSAM SAID there were basically three approaches a law or medical school could take in an effort to increase minority enrollment.
First, a quota system could be brought in, such as the one at Davis, in which a certain number of spaces are set aside for minorities, even though their entrance exams scores and grade-point averages of the white counterparts of those of the white counterparts. Kissam said.
Second, a target approach could be taken, in which an effort is made to get a certain number of minority students without being required to have that number.
He said with this approach, you might end up below or above the target goal that was set. He also said this was the approach taken by the KULA school.
The third approach, Kissam said, would be not to have quatars or targets but to make
a conscientious effort to recruit minors. With this approach numbers would not have to be dealt with, and a person's demonstrated ability to overcome his sociocultural environment be considered; even it the student's grades were as high as his white counterparts.
