StudEx drops debate proposal; Senate to discuss funding, beer
By KATHY KASE Staff Reporting
After heated debate last night, the Student Senate executive committee voted to exclude a bill to limit Senate debate from tonight's Senate agenda.
The proposed bill would limit debate to three 5-minute pro and con arguments a piece for all motions. Currently, all motions have been voted on by the number of 5-minute pro and con arguments.
Earlier last night, the Senate Rights Committee voted not to recommend the bill to the full Senate because debate could hinder parliamentary procedure standards.
Although his committee did not recommend the bill, Rights Committee cochairman Jim Borelli opposed striking the bill from the agenda.
oentr said that striking the bill from the Senate agenda infringed upon senators' rights to submit bills.
"I also think we're setting a bad precedent by killing the bills we don't like," he said.
But Matt Davis, student body vice president, disagreed, saying that StuFex
was not trying to discourage senators from submitting bills.
"One of the things we're trying to avoid this year is discussing parliamentary priorities, and people's interest," he said. "We're just saying here that this bill doesn't have a chance."
Senate will consider two bills asking for Protection and the order for the KU Service. The Senate will also consider a recount that would recommend that a bill be sent in Memorial State.
First on the agenda, the Kansas Defender Project serves State and Federal prisoners and is asking for $400 in funding because it missed the deadline for sub-
The KU Weather Service, which provides weather forecasts to telephone callers and eight radio stations, is second largest provider of weather information in a Wire Telemetry substation. The substation would be used to receive 24-hour weather information from weather stations.
is last on the agenda tonight and recommends that all profits from beef be given to the KU women's athletic proograms.
The Memorial Stadium beer resolution
A bill to change the date of student elections also will be considered tonight under the old business category. The bill is scheduled for Wednesday before spring break to before Thanksgiving. It was tailed at last week's Senate meeting because of wording problems.
In other business, StudEx postponed hearing appeals from senators who were being dismissed from Senate for excessive absences. Senators can be dismissed for two unexcused absences. StudEx postpones hearings because senators, according to the rules and regulations, must be notified a week in advance of the appeals date.
StudEx also denied a line item change to the Bar Student Bar Association, which had requested that money from its payroll and special project accounts be moved to its accounts and expense accounts. The association needed the money to pay a photocopying bill.

Nigeria-KU exchange plan stalled
By JON BLONGEWICZ
Staff Reporter
At the University of Kansas gears up for an educational exchange program with the People's Republic of China, another ex-gears group, between RU and Nigeria, is stalled.
Jubri Amini, former executive director of the National Universities Commission of Nigeria and an academic exchange agreement between Nigeria and KU two years ago. He said one problem was a change in administration at Jubri Amini's Benin, where the programs was to take place.
Amina, who was visiting KU this week and talking with engineering professors at the university, said she attended universities, said the exchange program needed more business-like meetings of representatives of KU and Nigeria rather than the protocol visits that have occurred
"I believe firmly that administrative offenses visits are necessary," Anun said. Students and faculty will have meetings with faculty members to answer questions on the development of new policies.
John S. McNew, professor of civil engineering at the University of handling the equipment for Amino's until "some sort of beachhead is established," the program was not ready for completion.
SPECIFIC PLANNING is needed,
Aminu said. Such plans could best be made by deans or department heads.
McNown said that although he was op-
posed about the exchange people with
Nigerian officials had to be discussed with technical people about the situation, Mr. McNown said Nigerian officials needed to make specific requests for personnel. Then KU could see whether someone was
ready to meet.
"We haven't reached that stage yet," he said. "There has been very little implementation.
MeNOWN SAID a university representative from Nigeria would have to come to KU and a KU representative would have to come to Nigeria before exchange plans could begin.
The original agreement was signed in August 1978 between T.M. Yesu, vice
chancellor at Benin University and Chancellor Archie R. Dykes. Yukus has since left the university, and Amma said that had addressed the problems with the exchange program.
According to the original agreement, KL faculty would volunteer to travel to Benin and be paid 25 percent more than their regular salary. The hiring would be done by Nigerian officials.
AMNU is a visiting faculty member at the Howard University College of Medicine in Washington D.C. He will return to Nigeria in March and he will be part of the University of Madagascar. He said that if there was a problem with the program at AMNU, it would be interested in planning an exchange.
Amino said that he could not make specific requests for Benin and that he at KU just to provide information and advice about the university situation in
Amima will speak at the weekly Faculty of Medicine Center, Ecumenical Christian Ministries Center 1204 Owrea. At 2 p.m., he will give a cardiovascular seminar at the University of Chicago.
