Senators Criticize, Defend StudEx Actions
By SUE SMITH
Kansan Staff Reporter
StudEx, the executive committee of the Student Senate, has overstepped its bounds by acting in place of the senate, several weeks said in a series of recent interviews.
Leroy McDermott, Welch, Okla,
graduate student and member of StudEx,
said the committee had become more of a
biocenar body with the separate
functions.
StudEx is "potentially powerful if it's misused," said Nancy E. Archer, Anamosa, Iowa, senior and former student body vice president.
However, she said, the senate acts as a check on such minima by asking Stukes to explain why he wants to be elected.
Cindy Steineger, Kansas City, Kan,
senior and former StudEx chairman, said
the members of StudEx were senators who
experience and knowledge of the senate.
"Most of the StudEx members are 'people carriers,' " she said.
They are powerful in the senate,
Steinauer said, because they are the ones
who express opinions on legislation and they
influence the votes of the other senators.
StudEx is provided for by the University Senate Code. It began operation simultaneously with the senate at their formation in 1969.
Members of StudEx are the chairmen of the standing committees of the senate, the three student members of SenEx, and the two professor members of SenEx who acts as chairman. The student body president and treasurer serve as ex officio members, but the treasure can't be taken.
According to the code, StudIEs 'to act as an administrative body for the senate. It calls meetings, brings pertinent actions before the senate and coordinates action of the senate.'
The code also empowers StudEx to act on behalf of the senate "in all matters
Library Plant Thefts Baffle Watson Employes
There are as yet no leaves in the case of the missing Watson Library notted plants.
Five known thefts of plants from Watson have occurred since employees began deco-
partmentation.
First, a spider plant was uprooted and stolen late last semester. It was replaced, but last month its replacement was taken, not all.
Feb. 8, three more plants—two purple velvets and a idea plant—were missing
"We love our plants," Carol Chittenden, library staff member, said yesterday. "They are our personal friends. It's as if someone had stolen our Christmas tree."
Pat Mimean, the library staff member who discovered that the plants were missing, said that she watered them on a Thursday and that they were missing the flowers.
Chittenden said she thought the three thefts earlier this month were a "carefully-planned heist" because the three plants, in their recent locations, were stolen the same day.
"One of the purple velvet plants that was taken was mine," Mimeau said. "When I saw its dirt on the table, I was heartbroken."
Chittenden said the five stolen plants might sell for $-16 altogether. They were stolen from a home in Brooklyn.
"I guess they put the plants in their pockets and mutilated them." Mimeau said. "This doesn't make any sense; we give clippings away to anyone who asks."
Chittenden said the thieves apparently knew little about plants, because otherwise they would have taken only leaves, which can be transplanted.
requiring expeditious action." It is to make amonstorate reports of any such action.
McDernott said the current power of StudEx was the result of a two- or three-year drift away from the powers vested in it by the code.

McDermott said he first served on StudEx in 1970-71. At that time, he said, it performed a necessary bureaucratic function for the senate and any action it took was very carefully circumscripted by the term "expeditious action."

He defined expeditious action as "action necessary for the functioning of the University or University governance that is delivered into emergency session to deal with."

JOINT SESSION
On Feb. 10, StudEx took action in place of the senate on three pieces of legislation which had been on the agenda but hadn't been addressed at the senate meeting the week before.
This gives StudEx members a jump on the rest of the senate, he said, because they know the objections to a bill before it is considered.
If they hadn't been acted on by StudEx those pieces of legislation would have died with the 1975-74 senate, until a special case is called before the elections Feb. 13 and 14.
At that meeting StudEx passed a petition to make the position of StudEx chairman elective by the senate, defeated a bill to make the StudEx chairman presiding officer of the senate and passed a bill for $1,190 to a summer intramurals program.

Josserand said StudEu was a place where the traditional leadership of the senate could determine its opinions on legislation before the legislation was considered by the legislature.
Mike Steinmetz, Lawrence graduate and student body treasurer, said he thought that StudEx members seemed to carry a lot of weight in the senate.
"It's not their place to do that," said Jon Jossner and Johnson sophomore and student
He said it should be used only when the action taken was absolutely necessary to prevent harm being done to the best interests of the student body.
Jouserand said the legislation could have been rewritten and acted on by the new
Rick McKernan, Salina senior, said the StudEx actions were justified because by the time the new senate could have rewritten and acted on the legislation it would have had to change from one system to another.
John Beissner, Salina junior and student body president, said he hoped the expedition's action clause of the code would be used snipingly during his term.
Paxson dismissed the existence of a "power elite" in the senate. If there is and elite, he said, it couldn't be located in StudEx members or a cover of StudEx members from year to year.
Richard Paxson, Baxter Springs senior and member of StudEx, said the intramural program needed a quick decision so that plans could be made for the summer.
But Paxson said the senate had to carefully guard against StudE's exceeding
