BILL

declared out of order because of a procedural mistake in the Finance Committee.
8E.6th St • 841.3888 ibeandakeslanding.net
During his presentation before the Rights Committee, Bailey said that Kansan advertising was an effective means in promoting the blood drive. He cited an informal survey he conducted at the last blood drive.
"Sixty-three people out of 300 said that they donated blood because they saw the ad in the paper that day," Bailey said. "These ads are important."
"There is a Intra-Fraternity Council and Panhellenic representative, but no specific senator for these living organizations," he said.
Bailey said he was concerned that without advertising, fewer people would donate blood.
The committee did not meet the two-thirds majority vote needed for the bill to progress to full Senate, but the 16 to 15 vote was close enough for the committee to reconsider the bill in two weeks.
Bailey said he would not submit the bill again because his next opportunity to do so would be too late for Senate to allocate the money before the blood drive starts at the end of February.
Student Senate funding is the only funding that pays for Kansan advertising for the blood drive.
Anna Gregory, senate communications director and member of the Rights Committee, said the group's purpose was not to decrease the number of blood donations, but to ensure that everyone was treated equally.
"We don't want people to not go to the blood drive," Gregory said. "We just don't want to fund something that's unfair."
The Student Senate University Affairs Committee created a bill that would formulate senate positions for students living in offcampus residential fraternities and sororities.
In other business:
Senate rules and regulations say that the students who live in the fraternity and sorority houses are not represented by off-campus senators.

Andy Knopp, Engineering senator, said that these students are excluded from representation.

AWARD
the struggles and successes of Ida B. Wells.

"Wells was a slave who managed to purchase a printing press in Memphis," Roberts said. "She became one of the founders of the NAACP."
Roberts then talked about different things reporters
should do to be more effective.
"You have to ask questions, tough questions," she said. "You should be straight-forward and plain-speaking."
She stressed the fact that you have to be a good writer to be a good journalist.
Roberts also said diversity was needed in newsrooms.
"We need different sexes, ages and races," Roberts said. "On any given day
when there is not big news,
writers will write about what
they are interested in."
Danielle Marquez,
Topeka junior, said she was impressed with the speech.
"I think it was good to focus on William Allen White because not many people know about him." Marquez said.
she liked the humor in the speech.
"She was very entertaining with some of the stories she told at the beginning," Sidesinger said. "But I think she lost the audience a little when she spent a lot of time on White."
Abby Sidesinger, Gladstone, Mo. sophomore, said

potentially dangerous equipment. The priority for the department is to keep the workshop fully staffed on the weekdays for the classes, Hamilton-Smith said.
Hamilton-Smith said even though there was not enough money to hire another staff member, the
administration's position could be reevaluated as the semester went on.
"I was told that it was a luxury to have the shop open on Saturday, and students needed to learn how to use the shop time more efficiently," he said.
Cotter Mitchell, materials lab coordinator, said administrators told him the Common Shop needed to be more fiscally responsible.
Mitchell said the budget allowed him student help for three hours every weekday.
In order to keep costs down, Mitchell said that he was going to charge more for materials, including charging for services.
GRADES
Brantman said the extra price would be an added expense for art students.
"It hurt us when prices get hiked up," said Brantman. "It's not cool when
projects cost up to $200."
Dave Best, a Dallas senior in industrial design, said that students would feel pressure to work faster during the week which could cause sloppiness and danger in the shop.

she said her scores added up to an A.
Kivett said the hardest thing about changing her grade was all the paperwork she had to fill out later.
"There was a lot of confusion about it," Kivett said. "But I went to my teacher and explained the problem, and he agreed with me."
"There were a lot of hoops to jump through," Kivett said. "And even then it took a full semester to get the grade changed on my transcript."
Michael Johnson, director of the Freshmen Sophomore English Department, said if a student couldn't work the issue out with their teacher then there was only one basis on which the grade could be changed.
"The only way we'll accept a grade appeal is if the student can prove their teacher hasn't graded by the announced standards," Johnson said.
Johnson said he talked to about two students a semester who wanted to change a class grade.
According to the department's Web site, a student who wants to appeal a grade must also turn in all their quizzes, exams and written work from the class to the department director. Johnson said these requests were reasonable.
"If you don't have all the information, then we can't make a judgment," Johnson said.
Johnson said if students had problems with the teacher, they could go to many places, including the KU Ombudsman.
The ombudsman can set up an informal discussion for both sides to work out their differences, said Robert Shelton, KU ombudsman.
While the appeals process may be difficult, Johnson said students had plenty of places to take their grievances.
"We've found if students don't follow up all possible options it usually means they have the common sense to realize their argument isn't that strong." Johnson said.

How It Feels to Land A KU Scholarship
"Can you say s-c-h-w-e-e-e-t, boys and girls?" There's no feeling quite like the one that makes you feel all dweeby on learning you've received a KU scholarship.
Some think that KU Endowment makes the decision Actually,donors decide. When setting up scholarship funds at KU Endowment, donors want to help certain people -students from their hometown,say,or those in a certain major or school. Scholarships are awarded based on their criteria.
KU Endowment manages the accounts and writes the checks.
Ahh, the checks. $25 million worth of scholarships, fellowships and loans helped more than 9,000 students just this year. For expenses like tuition, pizza and ... new pocket protectors. You know - life's necessities.
KU's campaign, KU First, intends to raise $500 million by 2004. $116 million of which will benefit KU students. With two new schol-halls and even more scholarships and fellowships.
Because there are still a lot of students who deserve to get that dweeby feeling.
