did not think it was fair to make those groups wait any longer.
**BECAUSE THE SENATE voted to select the meeting instead of adjourning, tonight's meeting, which is to begin at 6:30 in the morning, will be a continuation of last night's meeting.**
Several Senate members stayed after last night's meeting to telephone the 55 mem-
bers of the House of Representatives.
Mike Harper, StudEx chairman, said that only two persons had notified him that the building was under construction.
The Senate had time to approve supplementary funding for 13 campus
The Senate honored the fall budget committee's recommendations for 10 groups; allocations for three organizations were changed.
Graduate Student Council received an additional $1,000 from the Senate, giving it all but two of its seats. The committee had been incorrectly informed that $2,148 that was unspent by the
Graduate Student Council during the last
week included in the group's
supplemental request.
The Senate also allocated an additional $40 to Women's Field Hockey for transportation costs to a regional tournament, giving the group a total of $5,033.50.
THE ADDITIONAL MONEY was allocated so the hockey team could charter a bus to the tournament. The team had to reserve a bus for the trip, but the bus was unavailable
Black'tects' allocation was cut by the Senate by $50. Although the budget committee recommended the Senate allocate the group $374, the Senate voted to cut the group's telephone allocation by $50. Although the Senate had agreed during spring allocations to allocate the group money for telephone expenses through June, members voted last night to permit for Black'tects' telephone bills incurred now.
The Senate Academic Affairs Committee is scheduled to study the group's telephone network.
All of the Senate's allocations last night were part of a bill that recommended changes to the Senate budget during spring allocations. Remaining groups that did not receive funding during the spring and new organizations will be discussed in a separate bill at tonight's meeting.
IN OTHER ACTION, Jill Grubaugh,
journalism senator, made a motion to
reconsider a resolution that would eliminate
recognition from the KU administration
necessary for groups that wanted Student
Senate funding.
But Leben moved to postpone that motion until another meeting.
Current administration policy states that groups cannot be funded unless they are approved by the vice chancellor for academic affairs and are not substantially oriented toward politics, religion or expression of sexual preference.
Stuart Brown, Dodge City senior, announced that petitions based on a proposed
Senate resolution dealing with a surcharge on student football tickets were available and asked senators to distribute them.
The petitions had been printed by the Student Senate office yesterday after Brown and two other students asked members of the Senate Communications Committee Tuesday night for help in printing the petitions.
The proposed resolution, which has been referred to the Senate Sports Committee, opposes a proposed surcharge on football tickets to provide money for a $2 million renovation of Memorial Stadium.

Senate treasurer resigns position
Chris Caldwell, Student Senate treasurer,
resigned his position last night but said he
would continue working until a replacement
could be found.
He made his announcement at the Senate's meeting and said he was resigning in mid-semester because he had never intended to keep the job permanently. He said he would be represented by a personality conflict with anyone or by political aspirations of his own.
Caldwell was appointed by Steve Leben,
student body president, on June 15, to act as treasurer until a permanent person could be found. The appointment, which was to expire Sep. 22, followed a period of several months that the Senate had been without a treasurer.
He said he had stayed on until now as treasurer because he had been concerned about the integrity of the position in light of his death, and that he had not without a treasurer last spring and because
Caldwell said that Leben and others in the office knew that he would eventually resign. "I'm not going to quit," he said.
"It isn't a surprise if you talk to the people I work with day-to-day," he said.
there was a lot of fiscal work that had been left undone.
LEBEN AND CALDWELL both said that Susan Regier, administrative assistant to the treasurer, had been trained by Caldwell and were confident she could say that they were very impressed with her
work and that they had no reservations about her being able to continue with a new company.
Another reason for Caldwell's resignation was related to his numerous outside com-
Two students in presidential race
"I perpetually question what I'm involved in and what I'm petition out of it," he said.
Two University of Kansas juniors have announced their intentions of running for president of the student body, and one of those candidates has picked a running mate. The formal filing date for the race is not until early next spring.
Staff Writer
Mike Harper, Lawrence, and Scott Morgan, Shawnee Mission, said yesterday that they were candidates in the executive race. Harper has chosen Reggie Robinson, Morgan has chosen Todd Robinson, running mate. Morgan said he still was considering several people for the position.
Harper, who also is StudEx chairman, said that his campaign force was very well organized, but he declined to say exactly what would be working with him and Robinson.
By MELISSA THOMPSON
"I WOULD LIKE to see a continuation of responsibility in these areas, recreational activities."
Harper also declined to comment on the issues that their campaign might focus on, but he insisted that the proposed legal services question, a proposal for an educational resource center, improvements in Watson Library and continuation of the recreational services up-
He said that although he did not have a running mate or a large organization behind him yet, that was no indication of a lack of preparation. He said that he and seven other persons had been collecting ideas and inquiring about the situation, he hoped to announce a formal coalition soon.
Morgan, a student senator, said that he favored continuation and possibly expansion of the recreational services improvements, and said that he thought this was the area in which the Senate most effectively used its money.
Both candidates expressed concern with the current attitude of the Senate and said they thought it was because no more than a few people were involved.
Harper said that there had been minor attempts this year to involve more senators, but that such efforts were attempted too late to have much effect.
"There's been no major attempt to involve the people we have," be said. "We're just starting to grasp that now, in terms of the recognition policy especially, but now it's too late."
Union showing Swedish films
Six short films, ranging in length from 10 minutes to 25 minutes, will be shown at 8 p.m. Friday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union. The films include "Kirsa Nicholina," "Take Off" and "Schmeerount."
After the showing Friday, Gunvor is scheduled to discuss the films and answer questions from the audience.
Seven original films depicting such scenes as an actual birth, a strip-tape dance and the dilemma of a housewife will be shown by Swedish filmmaker Gunvor Nelson.
"Trollenstein," Nelson's first feature-length film, will be shown at 8 p.m. Saturday in the Forum Room. The movie depicts Nelson's upbringing in Sweden.
Nelson is director of film at the San Francisco Art Institute.
He said that he wanted to expand his interests and that the treasurer's post, although interesting, was too confining. He said that he needed time to work on his studies.
Morgan said the current Senate was not a very responsive group and that part of the lack of responsiveness was due to a lack of interest.
"IN MY OPINION, there's a few people that try to make the Senate a junior U.S. Senate," he said. "They take it out of perspective."
He also said that the apparent boredom of some senators was not, in his opinion, due to their dislike of one person's actions, but to the Senate's actions as a whole.
Both candidates said they had given the idea of running a lot of thought and had been successful.
Harper said that he and Robinson, who also is chairman of the Senate Rights and Justice Committee, had argued that
researching issues and analyzing the way the current administration had solved them. He said the solutions were not satisfactory to him.
MORGAN SAID that he did not want to make any statements about the current administration's effectiveness in dealing with problems because his analysis was not
Although the formal filing date is not until the first of February, Morgan said he did not think it was too early to be declaring candidacy.
The early announcement would give people a chance to concentrate on his faults, Morgan said, but it also would be difficult to get him to campaing together if he had waited too late.
Caldwell said that he would remain on the job until he "felt comfortable" that the transition for a new treasurer would not be too difficult. He mentioned that he might volunteer his time for a while after his company took effect to insure a smooth transition.
The Senate elections tentatively have been set for either Feb. 16 or 17. The filing date will be two weeks earlier, according to the Senate rules and regulations.
