Lawrence campus may lose $4.7 million
A possible reallocation of $4.7 million from the University's Lawrence campus to the University's Medical Center was endorsed Thursday by the Kansas Senate's Ways and Means Committee.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little issued a message Friday condemning the endorsement and unprecedented proposed reallocation. Over the next two fiscal years, that money will be allocated to the University's various Medical Centers, mostly to the KU School of Medicine-Wichita. Gray-Little, in the message, said both the
University and the Board of Regents strongly oppose this action.
While Gray-Little recognized the importance of funding the medical centers and future medical professionals, in the message, she said this is not the way to do it. She asserted it would harm those future professionals, many of whoo undergraduate work at the Lawrence campus.
The Senate will revisit the proposal later in session for a possible decision.

"I would technically be classified as a moderate Republican," Clayton said. "Yes, they still do exist in Kansas — I am one of them. I am standing here today to attest to that."
One concern was regarding civic engagement, specifically voting registration for students.
Clayton considers transparency in government to be her "personal flagship issue." She is currently proposing a bill, the Transparency Act, to make the legislature more accessible to the public.
francisco spoke about the procedure that requires all voters to present their birth certificate in order to register to vote. She said the legislature had been promised that people would be able to register without the birth certificate, as long as they had a driver's license, but there have been some technical difficulties with that solution.
"Part of the reason I ran for office is that I felt a great deal of righteous indignation about the way that things are run [in the legislature]," Clayton said. "I was always very upset about the fact that things were not brought out into the open and into the sunlight."
At the panel representatives from the sponsoring student groups and students in the audience asked the legislators questions about issues they had concerns about.
Clayton's problem with the birth certificate requirement is that many people don't have them and have to pay at least $15 to get one. Those who weren't born in Kansas would have to pay more.
"You know what that is?
That's a poll tax — that's making you pay to vote," Clayton said. "And it's not OK.
It doesn't matter what political party you're from, it doesn't matter whether it's above the board or not, it's an un-American sentiment to have."
A student from the University's Hispanic American Leadership Organization asked about the currently pending bill that would deny illegal immigrants in-state tuition.
From an economic perspective, Clayton said she would rather spend money in the form of tuition to help illegal immigrants get ahead.
rather than paying welfare or unemployment later. Francisco agreed with Clayton in favor of the in-state tuition for illegal immigrants.
"We really want to grow as a state, and we're not going to grow if we don't welcome new people to the state," Francisco said. "That has to be part of what we're going to do. The situation right now is that we have jobs, [but] we have to make sure that the right people are trained for these jobs."

Another member of the audience raised the question of marijuana legalization and the lack of discussion in the legislature.
"We really want to grow as a state, and we're not going to grow if we don't welcome new people to the state."

"House leadership is too afraid to run anything having to do with marijuana at all," Clayton said.
Francisco and Clayton both said the state legislature is somewhat reluctant to even discuss or vote on legislation regarding medicinal marijuana.
In this discussion, Francisco brought up another pending bill regarding alcoholic beverages being sold in grocery stores. In her opinion, it would be better for college students to enjoy some sort of alcoholic beverages in a public place, rather than a party.
The legislators encouraged the audience to contact their representatives to discuss or express opinions on current legislation. Francisco added that legislators are also always looking for people to testify during hearing, either for or against bills.
"The argument that I'm making against the change to liquor in grocery stores, is that I would like to see 3.2 cereal malt beverages brought back for 19 to 21 year olds," Francisco said. "That makes sense for this community."

Advance KU will nominate junior Jessie Pringle from Chanute and senior Zach George from Ottawa as its presidential and vice presidential candidates, respectively.
Pringle, George and senior Danica Hoose from Parsons were all nominated. Hoose did not accept the nomination, and George and Pringle gave speeches in their own favor of being added to the ballot.
During her speech, Pringle mentioned she wants to build cohesive relationships among Student Senate, the student body and administration.
"Right now, I see Student Senate being disconnected from the student body," Pringle said. "To get over those impediments and get

but they can't do that until we talk to them. So, if we have a great election season in their eyes, we will get to that level and collaborate and talk with them."
"One thing that legitimizes Student Senate in administrations' eyes is fostering a great election season," Pringle said. "[Administration] is here to make the KU student experience the best it can be,
Advance KU will work to create Pringle's mentioned relationships among Student Senate, the student body and administration by participating in a legitimate election season, Pringle said.
Should Advance KU win, George said they will utilize strong leadership to create change among Student Senate.
"In the past, I've seen Student Senate revolving around petty politics rather than paying attention to the student body we serve," George said. "I want to change that, and how we do that is having strong leadership and experience to make the changes that are needed. I've seen how we can make [Student Senate] exciting and productive, and I'm excited to get back on track."

different ingredients," Fortin said.
The evening will focus on building a healthy meal — an area in which many college students feel unprepared. In fact, more than half of college students perceived having limited access to nutritious foods, according to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior
One reason for this perception is partially because students often have tight budgets. Learning to plan and prepare meals can help students' finances while still eating nutritious foods.
"Planning is one of the biggest pieces when it comes to eating healthy on a budget," Fortin said. "It is much more costly to continue to buy grab-and-go options on campus instead of prepping healthy meals at home and coming prepared."
