Changing Roles Topic at Seminar

The "changing roles" of the regents, legislators, students and administrators were emphasized at an SUA Seminar on University College Law in the Forum of the Kansas Union.
Three state legislators-Rep. Diane M-Gill, R-Winfield; Rep. Burt Chaney, D-Hutchinson; and Sen. Glee Smith, R-Larred; incumbent member Elmier Jackson; Chancellor Zim; presiding officer of the University Senate, discussed their roles and
answered questions from a student audience of about 60, Richard Stitt, chairman of University Seminars, moderated the panel discussion.
Ebert also planned to present a bill on University cooperatives. The bill calls for the formation of a committee to study the effects of cooperative education food, clothing and gasoline cooperatives.
Jackson said that speaking on behalf of some of his conservative colleagues on the Board of Regents, there was a gradual change taking place in their attitudes.
Both enactments will be presented March 12 to a joint meeting of the 1970-71 Senate and the House.
"I think it is necessary to take second look at the rules we have promulgated," Jackey said.
Legislation that was to have been considered at tonight's meeting included a
He said the powers of each governing body depend on how the other governs bodies and
"We're pretty lame duck," said Bil Ebert, Topeka senior and student body president.
Zilim concurred, saying that students often bear that they are involved in a contractual agreement with the university, but that many feel it is a one-sided contract.
Quorum Lack Halts Meeting Of KU Senate
The last regular session of the 1970-71 Student Senate failed to meet last night because of a lack of a quorum. Only 33 senators answered the roll which was taken 30 minutes after the meeting was scheduled to start.
Ebert said many members of the Senate were apathetic about attending Senate meetings throughout the year. He also said some senators could not make it to the meeting tonight because of campaigns and conflicting meetings on campus.
"It has to be a team or we're going to end up fighting each other," he said.
"Total control should be left to the Board of Regents," he said.
Smith said the overlapping of bounds of authority should be avoided, especially by the
Smith said he didn't think it was advisable for former college administrators or professors to serve on the Board of Regents. He said he thought the temptation would be too great to develop the attitude, 'when I was doctoral I did it this way.'
Rep. McGill said the roles were over-mapping and not as well-defined as in the case.
Giving his definition of a legislator's role, McGill said a legislator must act as a mediator between taxpayers and the government. "I see 'the values received for the dollars spent."
"The University of Kansas is above all else a state of mind. A state of mind is something that is collected, not directed," Chalmers said.
Chalmers said it was difficult to define governing roles.
"Many people of Kansas get an exaggerated version of what goes on at the University of Kansas." McGill said. "They represent themselves, have someone representing their interests."
Smith said it would be almost impossible to get increased appropriations for the new program.
attributed this to an over-reaction by the negotiators to Gov. Robert Docking's rejection, which was interpreted by many as support for Docking's "light-fitted attitude."
Chaney said taxpayers might be more receptive to University budget increases if students would show more appreciation to the taxpayers.
Saithi said he disagreed with that attitude. "I don't think it is necessary for a student to ask you to say thank you. I think the thanks are said in the excellence of the final product," he said.
Smith said he disagreed with that attitude.
