Senate to debate Timmons issue
By JULIE MANGAN Staff Reporter
The Student Senate tonight will reconsider a petition to revoke the athletic scholarship of Roderick Timmons, a KU football player who last year was convicted of sexual battery. The meeting will be at 7 p.m. in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union.
William Easley, student body president, vetoed the petition two weeks ago, after the Senate attached it as an amendment to a bill to finance women's and non-revenue sports.
Timmons, who is on athletic scholarship as a defensive lineman, was convicted last year of sexual battery, a misdemeanor charge stemming from an incident in Jayhawker Towers on March 2, 1984. Easley has said he hoped the university would have imposed the Senate as a separate bill. The Senate could override the veto with a two-thirds vote.
The petition would be a nonbinding recommendation expressing
the Senate's opinion to the Athletic Department.
The subject will be considered under new business as well. The Senate University Affairs Committee on Monday approved a revised version of the request which divides the petition into two actions.
The first part requests that students convicted of felonies or sexual crimes not be allowed to represent the University of Kansas in highly competitive tennis. The decision would be sent to KU officials if approved by the Senate.
The second is a resolution criticizing Timmons' renewed scholarship. If approved by the Senate, copies of the resolution would be sent to Chanceellor Gene A. Budig; head football coach Mike Gottfried; Athletic Director James Hirsch; NCAA representative; Del Brinkman; and contributors to the Williams Fund, which helps support athletic scholarships.
