Beisner for Senate Lobby
By JACK McNEELY
John Besimer, Salina junior and student body president, said yesterday that he would use the Student Senate during the next year to lobby for students' interests.
Beisner said that he would determine students' interests by going directly to the students, as he had done in his recent campaign.
"Just because the senate has no statutory power to solve a certain problem doesn't mean we can't do it."
"The Student Senate has never really effectively been used as a lobbying group on this campus," Beamer said. "The Student Senate is not an institution that says and say, 'Pre-enrollment will exist.'"
ONE GOAL of Beisner's administration will be to reduce the foreign language requirement in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Proficiency or 16 hours in a foreign language now satisfy the requirement for graduation from the college.
But, Beisner said, the senate can do research on issues that students are concerned about and apply pressure to the appropriate University bodies.
Paxson and the College Assembly ultimately would decide whether to abolish the college.
Paxson also said the Student Senate could convince members of other departments, such as history or political science, that a student's college requirements would be in their interest.
Richard Paxson, Baxter Springs senior and Beisner's campaign manager, said yesterday that the senate would compare the college's foreign language requirement with that of other schools and present the results to the College Assembly.
Other goals of the Beiner administration will be to implement Affirmative Action policies in the Student Senate and to establish a system of undergraduate advising.
IF THE SAME number of credits is required for graduation and there is no foreign language requirement, a student would take more courses in the other departments, which would benefit the other departments, Paxton said.
Beiser said he would introduce legislation at the first meeting of the new senate today to create the position of Affirmative Action Coordinator. The coordinator would manage meetings to ensure that they are made in accordance with Affirmative Action guidelines.
Affirmative Action is a program to guarantee positions at the University of Kansas to members of racial minority groups.
The coordinator also will actively recruit members of racial minority groups to fill positions in student government, Beissner said.
BEISNER SAID no action would be taken on the system of undergraduate advising until after members of the Academic Affairs Committee were appointed. The senate will begin appointing members to its committee today.
He said he would also introduce legislation that would establish a task force to monitor the work of the Commission.
Solzhenitsyn Still Resting
ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) - Alexander Solzbenthys, a week after his arrest and exile, quietly spend yesterday shopping and visit a place for a place to live in a Western country.
On Monday he granted his first interview since his expulsion, telling The Associated Press he would continue his work and try to put down roots in a new place.
A week ago Soviet security agents and police knocked on the door of his apartment and dragged him off to prison. The next day they read him an edict stripping him of citizenship and put him aboard a plane for West Germany.
Solzhenitsyn, who has taken refuge in the quiet Zurich apartment of his Swiss lawyer, has been considering residence offers from firms in Russia that he can work with his family in Moscow by telephone.
Solzhenitsh left the apartment late in the morning and asked newsmen not to follow him on a shopping tour. When he returned with some packages that looked like clothing boxes, the author was relaxed and smiling.
Solzhentyn crossed the street to thank newsmen for leaving him alone.
In Monday's interview, Solenthynsyn inform that his family wouldn't be joining him soon. He said it was difficult for the two women and four children in his family to "liquidate an existence of many years, to forget their parent and moment when none of the children are ill."
In Moscow, friends of the family said Solizhenstyn's wife, Natalya, was making plans to take the family out of the Soviet Union and would leave them there if they would leave or where they would go.
Solzhentzyn angered the Soviet authorities with his new book on Stalinist labor camps, "Gulag Archipelago." He was exiled in 1946 after a number of official attacks on him and his work.

Todd Hunter, Oklahoma City junior and student body vice president, said yesterday that the new senate's biggest problem would be to get quick action.
Rich Lauter, Evanston, III., senior and vice chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee, said yesterday that to involve students in the Student Senate.
"BEEINNER'S PRIMARY task is not to produce lots of legislation or student services, which (previous student body president Mert) Buckley did, but to reactivate interest among the students as a whole," Lauter said. "That's more intangible and it's more difficult. But if it's not done, student government will die."
"My problem will be to convince students outside the Student Senate that if they want changes made at this University, they're going to have to go out to do it." Beisner
Beisner said his biggest problem would be to involve students outside the senate in school discussions.
Beisner said he could motivate people by directing the senate's energies toward innovation.
"ITHINK WE'VE found their interests," he said. "It's just a matter of convincing them that student government can do something about those interests."

McGill said the Senate was certain to reject House amendments and then send the bill to a conference committee that would write the final version.
McGill said he thought that as a result of the caucus yesterday, he knew what the Republican members wanted in the campaign finance bill.
He said that the House Republican members wanted the bill less restrictive in its scope.
language of the bill simplified and clarified He declined to be more specific.
Senate Republicans also met in caucus yesterday, but Senate President Robert F. Bennett, R-Overland Park, refused to disclose the subject.
He said he would join McGill in a statement after the House Republican met on Thursday.
The House Republican caucus yesterday didn't deal with the same subject considered by the Senate Republicans, Bennett said.
Bennett said a joint statement by the leadership could come as early as the regularly-scheduled Bennett-McGill news conference tomorrow, but no sooner.
