Ex-Treasurer Denies Misconduct
By ELAINE ZIMMERMAN
Kansan Staff Writer
Bill O'Neill, Balwin Hill, senior and former student senate treasurer, said Tuesday that allegations against him for defrauding of Whomper funds were inaccurate.
Kathy Allen, Topea junior and student body vice president, had said that Whompr employees could not be paid between two states. The department previously paid employees from local funds rather than state funds. Pay checks were late because it took the senator more than three months to straighten the books and employees to the state payroll, she said.
It also was clear that a $750 state allocation for salaries would last only a few months. O'Nell said, and he thought it was good that money for periods of financial stress.
O'Neill said he had paid Whomper employee with local money rather than state money allocated by the Student Senate because the Whomper management did not know how much of the year's salary the year. The managemen did not know who the permanent employees would be, he said.
O'Nell said he had run the Whomper's local account $600 in the red, as Allen had wanted to pay his bill. The local account because the $750 senate purposes, to cover the deficit, he said. He said he had been able to run a deficit in the senate because his own student allocation has been there to cover it.
O'Nell said that before this state money could have been transferred into the second local account, he had resigned at Student Senate treasurer.

O'Nell said that transferring money from one account to another was a common practice in any financial operation, and that so long as the books would have balanced at the end of the fiscal year, he could not be said to have been operating in the red.
O'Neill denied that he had failed to keep him to Whomper's books up to date, as Allen bid he
Roger Martin, Shawnee Mission third-year law student and Student Senate treasurer, said there seemed to have been a misunderstanding between Allen and O'Neill about where the money for salaries was coming from.
Martin said he thought that during a period when the Whomper was trying to get away, Mr. Cusanov was caught up.
If the local fund had not been depleted, the employees could have been paid while the senate was going through the red tape of taking them on the state payroll, Martin said.
used the $750 salary allocation rather than the money generated by the Whomper itself
A better way of handling the payroll, he said, would have been to pay employees from the local fund during the period of time the company had paid. The senate could have used the first couple of paychecks from the state to reimburse the local fund by employing the "power-of-money" and retaining the checks, he said. Substitute managers who have gone directly to employees, he said.

the main lectures is usually very high.
"It is unusual to have so many people ask a for freshman and sophomore program other than a common course offered at every university," Myers said. "I have been highly impressed by working with new freshmen who are in the program."
the fault accuses it is usanty very high. After the mail balloon was sent to members of the College, students conducted a letter writing campaign to faculty members of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. According to Ed Rolfs, Junction city freshman, 100 students handwrote 700 letters containing their reasons for supporting the program.
CHANCELLOR RAYMOND Nichols and Delbert Shankel, acting dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and chairman of the College Assembly, reported that a student in the program had expressed interest in joining the college and desire for the program's continuation.
John Myers, director of the Office of School Relations, said he was amazed at the number of prospective KU students and teachers documented on or inquired about the program.
"I also am impressed by the degree of public awareness about the program."
pensive awareness about the program.
At College Assembly meetings, the
program has been subject to severe attacks
by computer members and student
representatives.
DURING THE program's initial year of operation, it was studied intensely by the Educational Policies and Procedures Committee (EPPC).
Walter Crockett, professor of psychology and chairman of EPFC, said the committee considered whether the program should be continued, how many credit hours it should
receive and for which courses the program should_substitute.
EPPC, composed of faculty members and students, made six recommendations for granting before granting permanent approval to program. The recommendations were based on a report on the program by the Committee on Evaluation and Ad-
—That each of the four courses in the PP* sequence be given permanent approval.
The EPCP recommended to the College Assembly:
—That an advisory committee be appointed for the program;
—That the completion of PHP continue,
the time being, to substitute for English
(the language) in it.
that the completion of PPHP substitute
treatment supplies required for the
humanities resources needed.
—That the practice of selecting the students by interview for participation in EPSS is not adequate.
—that the PIPH Advisory Committee provide a statement for submission to the EPPO and grant it the authority of firming that students receive credit for normal requirements at the end of each semester.
The recommendations differ from the present program only in the establishment of a new regulation.
The EPCP did not recommend that the program be discontinued, Crockett said, because some committee members thought the program had potential at KU. However, the program should not be allowed to continue without some changes, he said.
Nominations Of Teachers Due Saturday
Saturday is the deadline for nominations for four KU distinguished teaching awards. Letters should be addressed to Ambrose Saricks, vice chancellor for academic affairs, 231 Strong.

The selection committee is anonymous and comprises both faculty members and committee requests that letters of recommendation statement of reasons for nomination.
Regent Wunsch To Lead Drive

Wunsch said recently that he was pleased to have been named chairman of a campus-based fund raising committee and that the help of all persons interested in the fate of crippled children was needed.
The campaign began March 1 and will continue through April 22.
Since the founding of the easter Seal Society in 1925, a campaign has been conducted each year at Easter to alert persons to the needs of crippled children. Contributions may be mailed to Easter Seals, Postmaster, Tomeka, Kan. 66003.
Phillip S. Paladun, professor of history at the University of Kansas, has received a grant from the American Council of Learned Societies and an appointment as a Fellow in Law and History from the Harvard Law School.
Under this plan, Martin said, the local fund would not have been depleted and the employees would have encountered no delays in being paid.

Alen said that she did not mean to demean O'Neill or to imply that he was dishonest. She said, however; that she would not retract her criticism of O'Neill's views, and she was critical of them, even though she meant nothing against O'Neill personally.

Allen said she was running for a holdover senate seat. If she had her statements for her personal advantage, she said, "I don't believe because they alienated some student senators."
Her only campaigning will be her performance during the past year, she said, not that she would win.
KU students receive free reserve seat ticket with Certificate of Registration.
Allen said she made a difficult decision in revealing some of the history of the WWI to her students. Her political future ahead of her own. Her intention, she said, was "to do the Whopper a favor" by clearing up some of the questions that were still lingering before it before she requests funds for next year.
"There was one very big political intent the future of the Whopper," she said.
There has been much dwelling on the Whomper's present and future. She said dwelling excessively on the past would not help the Whomper.
