Senate calls emergency meeting
By JULIE MANGAN Staff Reporter
The Student Senate has scheduled an emergency Senate meeting for 7 p.m. tonight in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union.
The agenda, which comprises the unfinished business from last week's meeting, includes two pieces of legislation directed against student representatives convicted of felonies at times of any degree of seriousness.
The first is a petition requesting that students convicted of felonies or sexual crimes not be allowed to represent the University of Kansas in high visible positions. The petition does not define highly visible positions.
The second is a resolution criticizing the renewal of KU football player Roderick Timmons' athletic scholarship.
Timmons, a defensive lineman, was convicted last year of sexual battery, a misdemeanor charge against him. He is now in Jay Hawker Towers last spring.
IF APPROVED BY THE Senate, copies of the resolution would be sent to Chancellor Gene A. Budig, head football coach Mike Gottfried, Athletic Director Monte Johnson, KU's National Collegiate Athletic Association representative Del Brinkman and contributors to the Williams Fund, which helps support athletic scholarships.
The petition and the resolution
were approved by the Senate University Affairs Committee last week and were on the agenda for last week's Senate meeting. The meeting lasts until after midnight and senators were unable to consider the proposals.
Other business to be discussed tonight includes:
- A resolution asking that the Senate tell the Associated Students of Kansas, the Legislature and Gov. John Carlin that ASK is not representing the opinions of students only at University of Kansas on the proposed raise in the state's legal drinking age from 18 to 21.
*A request to place a change machine in Strong Hall.
Judge denies move to set $39,000 settlement aside
A motion filed by a local developer requesting that a $39,000 settlement against him be set aside was denied yesterday by Douglas County District Judge Ralph King.
Steve Clark, president of Lawrence Riverfront Mall Inc., was seeking to overturn a court-approved settlement reached in a lawsuit filed against him by Michael Hickman, a local accountant, and Lee Bittenbender, a local physician.
Hickman and Bittenbender had formed a partnership called Wren Investors with Clark in order to own and operate an apartment
building. They sued Clark in April 1984, claiming, among other things, that he had improperly withdrawn money from the partnership.
The settlement was reached in the case in August 1984.
BUT CLARK FILED a motion in February saying the settlement should be set aside because the date Hickman claimed to have joined Winters Investors was incorrect. The motion said Hickman had claimed on his tax returns to have become a partner in 1982 but actually not had become a partner until 1983.
