Meeting ends; no quorum again
With fewer than 20 members attending, the All-University Senate meeting was canceled yesterday because there was not a quorum.
However, the failure to gain a quorum came as no surprise to those who attended the meeting. For a quorum in the Senate, 200 members are needed.
We have not had a quorum in four or five years. Peter "Turk" ex-officio member of the board.
Fark said he would be among even more missing, except for his position as ex-convict.
IT came for the explicit purpose of announcing that there would be no meeting.
BOWEVER, TURK SAID the Senate continued to exist in case a controversy developed.
in the restless periods of the late 68s and
early 70s it used to be standing room only in

Art museum experiences false alarms
Fire alarms in Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art might be working too well. Several false alarms have been reported there recently.
According to John Kasberg, chief of the Lawrence Fire Department, an alarm that went off yesterday was the fourth false fire alarm in about a month.
An alarm went off at about 9:10 a.m.
Tuesday. Other false警報 were set
off Oct. 7, at 1:58 a.m.; Oct. 18, at 10:26
a.m; and Nov. 16, at 12:56 p.m.
According to Kasberger, alarms in Spencer Museum are set at a certain temperature and go off at the slightest change of temperature. Other alarms are fire detectors and can go off if a person is smoking nearby, he said.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT sends three
spectators to the time the department is
planned for a fire.
Expenses for three fire trucks are about $800 for each response, Kasberg said.
However, he said that new fire alarm systems frequently go off.
"We usually expect false fire alarms for a building, until the units are properly adjusted."
Spencer Museum is a new building and will be open to the public Jan. 17.

Applications for the University Senate's Committee on Foreign Students are accepted in the spring not in the fall, as it appeared in yesterday's Kansan.
both the KU Medical Center campus and the Lawrence campus. The members from the Lawrence campus are the Chancellor, the executive vice chancellor, the vice chancellors and the members of the Faculty Senate and the Student Senate.
The Senate is required by the University code to call a meeting once in each of the fall
Don Marquis, secretary of SenEx and FactEx, agreed with Turk about the
"I WOULD NOT BE here except for my position," he said. "We knew at the FacEx meeting last Tuesday there would be no quorum, and we knew the meeting would be called off because there was nothing controversial on the agenda.
"However, I think there ought to be some way to avoid people having to come to the meeting to go through the motions of having it called out, although I don't know what that means."
The only non-traditional business—approval of minutes, reports from FacEx and any new work—was the approval of a particle VI, Section 3, of the University code.
Any code changes already approved by the University Council are ratified by the Council.
The change in the code provides that members of the University Council, the University SenEx committee and other bodies whose members are chosen by the Student Senate shall be subject to removal by the Student Senate.
T. P. SRINIVASAN, professor of mathematics, said the thematics department at the University Senate body, regardless of the fact that a quorum had not been met in several years.
The body is a safeguard for a time of
crisis", Srinivasan said. "The fact no one added up merely there is no controversy and the various committees are doing their jobs satisfactorily."
"A standing body like the All-University Senate is needed, because in times of immediate crisis, a decision-making body can not be built overnight," Krivinas said.
Srinivasan said a subject on the agenda concerning sabbaticals or retirement
proposals would attract many more members of the Senate.
