Senate rejects spending limits

Candidates for Student Senate won't have to watch their pocketbooks as closely this election season.
Senate voted Wednesday not to enforce spending limits and decided that the University of Kansas can only impose them in well-justified circumstances, backing up a decision last year by the University Judicial Board.
Dede Seibel, student body vice president, said the change was not drastic but that it made Senate's rules and regulations reflect the board's ruling
Michael Henry, Student Legislative Awareness Board campus director, said spending limits were seen by some as a restriction of free speech.
Changes to the 2000 elections code, which is available from the elections commission today, included imposing only voluntary spending limits. Only candidates who choose to adhere to spending limits would be
subject to reprimand if they over-spent.
Seibel said that Senate rules took priority over the elections code. She said Senate wanted to design a rule against spending limits in case a future elections commission favored them.
put a referendum on the ballot.
A proposed change to Senate rules, which failed Wednesday, would have tightened the requirements needed to
"You could anything on referenda," said Partha Mazumdar, graduate senator. "In 1951, there was a reference to
change the alma mater."
Students are now required to gather 1,000 student signatures or signatures from 5 percent of the 20th-day head count of student enrollment, whichever is fewer. The proposal would have required 7.5 percent of the count.
"The only check we saw was to
make more signatures [required] to draw the more serious referenda," Mazudar said.
Mazudar said the 4,500 signatures gathered for the Save the Jaybowl petition were proof that getting a large number of signatures was possible. But Mark Bradshaw, liberal arts and sciences senator, said that gathering signatures was not as easy as it sounded.
"Ive pounded lot of Wescoe Beach pavement getting signatures," Bradshaw said. "I don't want anyone to think it a snake of the fingers."
Senate failed an amendment by Jessica Bankston. Nunemaker senator, that would have loosened the restrictions on campaigning on campus before elections.
Current rules limit active campaigning, promoting and distributing materials at and near tables in areas such as Wescoe Beach and the Kansas Union, to the nine days before elections.
"It limits your free speech," Bankston said.

Dead-like band to play at Bottleneck

Following in the tracks of the Grateful dead can't be easy, but the Dark Star Orchestra is trying hard. Dark Star performs at 9:30 p.m. tomorrow at The *Harkness* 727 New Hampshire St.
"They really sound like the Dead, so there's quite a buzz around the Deadhead community," said Ed Stevenson, the band's Web master and publicist.
Stevenson said the band recreated past Grateful Dead shows song by song by using the original set list and supplementing it with the its own improvisation.
He said the Chicago-based band had a local following that traveled to all of its regional shows. He also said some fans were dedicated enough to fly across country to go to concerts when Dark Star hit the road.
"Essentially, they are sonic encyclopedias of the Grateful Dead's history, replicating the sound of the band while retaining the improvisational nature of the original show," he said.
The band is composed of John Kadleck on lead guitar and vocals, Dino English on drums, Scott Larned on keyboards and vocals, Rob Koritz on drums, Chopper on rhythm guitar and vocals, Lisa Mackey on vocals and Michael Hazdra on bass guitar and vocals. Cameron Blitzer is the house sound man.
Debbie Kay, a fan from Chicago, said that the band didn't play the Dead's songs note for note but that it tried to stay true to the equipment that was used then.
The Dark Star Orchestra will perform at 9:30 p.m. tomorrow at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. Lawrence will be the Chicago-based band's third stop on its three-month, nationwide tour. Contributed photo

In Chicago, the band plays at a bar on Tuesdays, and the show regularly attracts 400 to 500 people, she said.
Stevenson said that Kadlecik's voice had an uncanny resemblance to Jerry Garcia's and that it often shocked concert-goers.
Dark Star is on its third stop of a three-month, nationwide tour.
Tickets cost $10 in advance and $12 at the door. It is an 18-and-older show.
