The Student Senate is considering a move that would fund KU bus route expansion into East Lawrence. The closest that any current bus route comes to the East Lawrence area is the Gatehouse, 24th Ridge Court route, illustrated by the dark black lines in the map above.
Bus service sought for East Lawrence

East Lawrence residents have once again popped the question.
Residents are circulating a petition requesting an East Lawrence KU on Wheels bus route, reviving past protests over inadequate area service.
"Our people would be more than happy if they could get to the University in the morning and get back at night," Kathy Wallace, East Lawrence resident, said yesterday. "We're not talking about a bus ride; we're talking about people will be happy to walk a couple blocks."
WALLACE SAID the petition, drawn up last weekend, had 100 signatures so far. She said a majority of East Lawrence residents are in favor of alternate transportation such as taxi.
"I was told a bus service had been approved, but lo and behold, there was no bus service the next fall." Wallace said. "If it is bad weather we can not walk, but if it is bad weather you can walk."
Wallace said the East Lawrence route could be offered without an increase in operating expenses.
The Student Senate approved funds for a K-12 charter school in Lawrence last spring, but abandoned the proposal after the University administration cut back on the privilege fee
"I've noticed bases a couple of times that run with only a few people in them," Wallace said. "Why can't they cut back on service to other places?"
"The bus travels to all the more exclusive apartments in Lawrence."
"We go there (to apartment complexes) because the major concentrations of students are there," McMurray said. "That is the only reason we run to any complex."
STEVE M*MURRRAY, director of KU Wheels, said he sympathized with the Lawrence residents' complaints, but that the bus ran where it was most needed.
McMurray said that he wasn't sure a majority of East Lawrence residents were students, but that he would attempt to determine the student population.
"I'm on their side and we're going to try again this year." McMurray said. "If we do a real good job of juggling there will be some money for new programming."
Mc Murray said that factors such as rising energy costs were squeezing the KU on energy bills. The university's mittee will be considering next year's fund at Senate budget hearings next
"We're constantly up against the same problem of money," McMurray said. "We're hard pressed just to maintain current levels of service."
"New programming is way up in the air." Diana Pendleton, East Lawrence resident, said that service to East Lawrence was "better than routes routes rather than a money question.
"Look at the route that the Kus bus system is taking now," Pendleton said. "It is not necessary for them to go broke or lose money, they have nothing to do butain."
Pendleton said a number of East Lawrence residents "couldn't hold onto a job" because there was no affordable transportation available.

According to Fouts, who has been AURH vice president for the past two years, there is no real way to predict candidate turnout
"The first year we ran for the office there were about three or four teams and last year Jay and I am uncontested."
Many potential candidates were opting to run for committee chairmanships, he said.
According to Murray, once the new officers are in office, applications for positions on the five AURH committees are handed out, along with job descriptions.

TOPEKA—Responding to requests from the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Regents, the Senate Way and Means Committee yesterday recommended a $19,000 appropriation for purchase and installation of new lighting board in the University building at New York University.

The lighting board recommendation was part of the committee's action on KU budget legislation for fiscal year 2013. The board will approve the Medical Center and the Regents must now receive Senate approval before final action can be taken by a House and Senate committee.
Voting for officer elections will be in individual residence halls March 25-26 during dinner, Murray said.
"We're delighted the committee has approved money for the control system," Wright said. "We're glad the University and the committee appreciated the problem and saw the potential for dancer down the road."
Richard Von Ende, executive secretary to the chancellor said KU's request for a replacement for the 23-year-old lighting board had not been included in the Regents' report and KU's report last month declared it "extremely hazardous."
JACK WRIGHT, professor of speech and drama, said the new lighting board was needed to replace the existing one, which he said had been outdated.
Wright said that the system had been made by a company that no longer supplied replacement parts and that the stock was depleted.
"The key advantage of the new system will be in the area of instruction," Wright said. "It will be a tremendous help to students who study lighting design, and audiences will notice the difference too."
Among recommendations made by the committee that attended the Governor's meeting to Gov. John Carlin's recommendation for six additional classified positions and four additional unclassified positions at KU. The University originally had asked for 16 positions in each category.
THE COMMITTEE REMOVED 6.5 classified positions added by the House Way and Means committee and added by the House Finance Committee.
They also deleted $100,000 that had been added by the House committee to pay for unclassified positions as yet unfilled by KU to compensate for the loss of the 6.5 positions.
Von Ende said that the extra classified positions were meant to KU and that he hoped they would be replaced by more advanced ones.
KU has been criticized for its lack of clerical and maintenance personnel. In early budget hearings Chancellor Archie R. Dykes called the classified positions one of KU's highest budget priorities.
"We're unhappy that they deleted the $100,000 in salaries and wares." Dykes said.
THE CHANCELLOR said, however, that he was "generally pleased" with the subcommittee's action.
The committee added 5 unclassified and one classified position for the KU Center for Energy Research and Development. They also added $24,731 in salaries and wages and $6,000 for other operating expenditures.
Von Ende said the positions were designed for coordination of the energy center's campus activities.
"Thev would help attract some federal grant funds and
In addition, the committee recommended $440,000 in funding for final Moore Hall planning and construction be appropriated as soon as KU received $1 million in private contributions for the project.
The committee also recommended $60,000 from the State General Fund for preliminary planning of a $1.5 million addition to Moore Hall, the Kansas Geological Survey building on KU's West Campus.
funds from private sources," he said. "It would step up our encryery program."
Saying that more than the $120,000 recommended by the KU for replacement of defective steam tunnels to KU scholarship halls was necessary, the committee recom- mendation also included $28,000 it received in settlement for the defective steamlines.
The House and Carlin had recommended **$100,000 for maintenance and repair of instructional equipment. The**
"We're tremendously pleased they put in more money for instructional equipment and the maintenance of the equipment." Dykes said. "The subcommittee had indicated we were concerned about the University's needs in that area."
Both the House and Carlin had recommended $75,000 for equipment acquisition, and the committee doubled that recommendation.
By giving its de facto approval to most other House recommendations, the committee okayed $864,500 for renovation of Flint Hall and $342,150 for planning a Strong Hall renovation.
'Shepherd' hopes to gather votes

Badger Dadygel has travelled 40,000 miles in 48 states by Greyhound bus in the last year because of a vision that came to him one night while he was sleeping.
"God spoke to me in the night, while my eyes were closed," she says. "At first, I thought it was the most ridiculous thing to do. Then, when you see the face you hear the voice you don't ask questions."
Badgely, 61, a retired life insurance salesman from Poughkeepsie, N.Y., is one of 21 Republicans on the ballot for the April 1 Kansas presidential preference primary.
HE'S RUNNING AS the "showered of the people," and he dresses the part. He carries a five-foot staff and hasn't cut his gray hair in four years.
His platform consists of seven passages from the Bible.
If nominated, Badgely says, he'll ask Shirley Temple Black to be his running mate. That, too, came in a vision.
"The people of this country are so hungry for something they've lost," he says. "There's a spiritual revival going on and that for someone to lead them in that direction."
"if we lived according to the word of God, we'd have nothing to fear. If we do what the Scriptures tell, all other problems would be solved by a higherower than our own."
Badgely has been on the road since last spring preaching that message. Last summer he traveled 10,000 miles in 28 days from Florida to York State, then west to California.
Yesterday he was in Lawrence
Politicking prophet
"It the poor man's primary," he says.
"If you want to get on the ballot in California, you've got to get something like 34,000 signatures."
BADGEY PAYS ALL his expenses out of our own pocket and has no campaign organization. "I'm not one I hold in my hand." While other candidates have spent millions, he's used money.
A mere $100 filing fee or 1,000 signatures was all that was necessary to get on the Kansas ballot.
He's putting all his hope in the Kansas primary, _though_. It's the only one he's entered.
Donald Badgley, a candidate for president of the United States McGrath, Overland Park sophomore, on the KU campus yester-
day, that he has visions from God, chats with Molly day.
He insists that if Ronald Reagan, the GOP favorite, doesn't capture the 98 delegates required for nomination on the first ballot at Republican National Convention, "he will win."
Badgely frankly doesn't put much hope in capturing the majority of the state's 32 delegates. He has a different strategy.
"M GONG TO get enough votes here that I'm going to shake everybody up," he predicts. "If I win a few delegates, I'll get national recognition."
"Reagan's really only got support from a small nucleus of people—the strong conservatives. If he doesn't get that magic number at the convention, the Republicans will drop him like a hot potato if there's a bad run. I feel that somebody could be me."
Badgyel has been in Kansas since March 5. He lives at the Jayhawk Motel in Topeka and each day a bus to his destination.
He talks to travelers in bus terminals, farmers in diners and people on the street.
He's been to 13 Kansas cities and plans to visit another dozen before the primary.
He admits, though, that his reception has been, at times, lugwarm.
WHEN HE DECIDED to run last January, he sent letters to the Republican National Committee chairman and 50 state委员. He received a response from only one.
iowa's GOP chairman put him on the party's mailing list.

University students can't say no to jury duty
By JENNIFER ROBLEZ
When randomly selected for jury duty in Douglas County, a KU student could find himself trying to choose between the wrath of a professor and $100 fine.
"We don't want to make anyone flunk a test, but I will do it," she said. "But if someone calls up and says, 'I'm a student and I'm not going to show up for jury duty,' we'll probably make sure we have people."
But Sherlyn K. Sampan, chief clerk of the district court, said the Lawrence court system was understanding about students' schedules.
ONE KU STUDENT, Douglas Shreves,
Cedar City, Utah, junior, missed about a
week of classes while serving his time as a
tutor in January and February.
"I did have to work harder to make the notes I missed," he said. "But I was called at the beginning of classes and if I were now I couldn't do it because of time."
Shreves said the experience of serving on a jury made the missed class time worthwhile.
"It was a learning experience and I am taking business law now so everything was tied together," he said.
Any KU student who is a registered voter in Douglas County could be selected for jury duty.
Sampson said a computer was used to draw about 250 names to serve a two-month stint.
Usually almost half of the people chosen would have moved or would have reasons for not serving. Sampson is left with 120-130 prospective jurors.
The prospective jurors must report to the court at 8:45 a.m. for their particular court session. Defense and prosecuting attorneys each person in a process called "vow dire."
Sampson said the questioning process lasted until about 10:30 a.m. The prospective jurors are not excused until they are sworn in and a panel of six or juries is selected.
THE FINAL LIST of names is divided in half. Those with last names starting with A-I, report to the Division I court, which meets on Wednesday, or to Division II, which meets on Wednesday.
A prospective juror receives $10 each time he reports to court regardless of whether he is chosen to serve on a jury.
Two years ago, Sampson said, all students were automatically excused from jury duty, but a change in the voting laws in 1977 required that vote in the city where he attended school.
*DT- DEPENDEN on the case and the question.* We know how many people will have to be questioned, she said. "Once we went down to just five more people to be questioned"
Sampson recently summoned a new panel or prospective jurors. That, two-month old Rachel O'Neill, would be the first week in May. In April another batch of summonses will be sent to Lawrence
"All of a sudden about half of our jurors were students," Sampson said. "Some of them didn't want to show up."
That's when William Balfour, University ambudman, stepped in to mediate between the courts and the students.
"I ask the executive vice chancellor, Del Shankel, to write a note to the KU faculty and explain that a student who was called for jury duty was excused from class." Bailour said. "The student must also have an opportunity to make up missed work."
"Students have to be registered to vote to be called for jury duty. In this election year those registering now should realize the risk."
Balfour said the job of finding jurors was a tough one and students should cooperate with the court system.
Roxie Hilgenberg, Ellis senior, said, "It was my civic duty to go.
"They (students) are a part of this community even if they just live here nine months. It's not fair to totally excuse them."
