Groups ask for Senate funds
By NANCY STOETZER Staff Reporter
This week the Student Senate Finance Committee will hear presentations from 33 student groups requesting money for fiscal year 1986.
The Finance Committee can allocate up to $31,181 among the groups. All groups requesting money this week are non-revenue code groups, which are small student groups that may fund from the Senate annually.
Hearings begin at 8 p.m. today in
Kansa Room in Kansa
University.
A representative from each group will give a 10-minute presentation to the committee. The committee then will have 10 minutes to ask the representative questions about the request.
Next week, the Finance Committee will decide how much money to allocate to each group. The committees will choose the team. Then will go to the Student Senate.
TIM HENDERSON, committee
chairman, said he hoped the recommendations would be ready by the next Senate meeting, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. March 27 in the Big Eight Room of the Union. Otherwise, the recommendations will go before the Senate at its next meeting on April 10.
Groups generally request funds to cover costs for administrative purposes and special projects.
Henderson said the number of groups that submitted requests for money this year was surprisingly low.
"I was surprised. I thought we would have more groups than this," he said.
Last year, 64 non-revenue code groups received money from the Senate.
Tonight the Finance Committee will hear presentations from the following groups: MECHA, Free China Club, Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas, Sociology Club, Cricket Club, Chinese Student Association, KU Crew Club and M'Sia KU.
AT 6:30 P.M. tomorrow in the Kansas Room of the Union, the
committee will begin hearing presentations from the following groups: Rock Chalk Rowdies, Young Americans for Freedom, Masters in Public Administration, Men's Soccer Club, Women's Soccer Club, KU Amateur Radio Club, Latin American Solidarity, Jayhawk Singers, KU Volleyball Club, Minority Business Club and KU Big Brother-Big Sister Program.
The committee will meet again at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the Kansas Room of the Union to hear presentations from the following student groups: Catholic Social Services, African Student Association, Latin American Student Association, In The Streets, Valley Song-terry Older Americans for Freedom, Counseling Student Organization, Black Student Union, Praxis, Engineering Student Council and Biology Club.
The final meeting for budget hearings will be 6:30 p.m. Friday in the Big Eight Room of the Union. The groups scheduled to make presentations that night are: The Commission on the Status of Women, SCoRMEBE and KU German Club.
Student's belongings reappear
The Templin Hall resident who returned from spring break to find his room had been emptied found out yesterday where his belongings had gone, the resident hall director said yesterday.
Sean Myers, Miami sophomore, had reported to police and Templin staff Sunday that everything but a drawer full of items in his room had been taken sometime during spring break.
Mike Osterbubu, Templin resident director, said the house manager had mistakenly thought that Myers' room was to be emptied and had his things put into one of the hall's storage rooms.
After finding his room emptied, Myers said, he and Osterbuhr
checked one of the storage rooms for his belonging but didn't find them.
Osterbuhr said but didn't find Myers' possessions Sunday because he didn't have a key to the room the items were in.
Myers said they called Kathryn McCree, Templin house manager, who told them she would check the other storage room when she came to work yesterday.
The KU police department was the Myers said, and he filed a report.
McCree declined to comment yesterday.
J. J. Wilson, director of housing, said yesterday, "I don't think it's a usual circumstance, but I'm not sure I know all that went on."
Wilson said McCree had told the housing office that she thought she had been notified that Myers' room was being vacated.
Wilson said the office of housing was formally investigating the incident to find out how the mistake occurred.
Myers had reported that about $1,000 worth of possessions were missing, including clothes, books, a stereo, a typewriter and shoes.
Osterburu said Myers would have his possessions back by today.
Myers said he was relieved that his things had been found.
"I'm excited and happy, so I'm just going to put my things back in and get ready," she said.

JRP, Templin start security
By MICHELLE T. JOHNSON Staff Reporter
Tell the world. Call the Kansan.
The pacing feet that residents of Templin and Joseph R. Pearson halls have been hearing lately are newly hired security monitors.
Pat Simmons, JRP resident director, said yesterday that five security monitors had been hired and had started working Sunday.
"I really think it's probably going to help this hall have a more secure environment," Simmons said.
Mike Osterburk, Templin resident director, said three security monitors had been hired at Tempelin to work just before spring break.
"I think it it's worked very well so far, by giving us an extra person besides the desk assistant to help keep an eye on the hall," Osterehr said.
SECURITY MONTORS roam the hall with walkie-talkies, checking doors, the inside and outside of the building and responding to security problems that come up during the shift, Simmons said.
during which the monitors are on duty are midnight to 5 a.m. every day. Tempilin security monitor shifts are midnight to 4 a.m., Sunday Tuesday; midnight to 5 a.m.; Thursday, 5 a.m to 5 a.m. Thursday.Saturday.
At JRP, the security hours
Last month the Residential Programs Advisory Board approved the hiring of security monitors for the two all-male inmates in the prison where the only halls that didn't already have security monitors.
Originally the monitors were not to be hired until this fall, but a proposal written by James Jeffley, Association of University Resident President and JRP resident, requested an earlier starting date.
THE REQUEST followed incidents of vandalism and theft early last month at JRP. The incidents resulted in more than $1,500 worth of damage and stolen goods, Jeffrey said, and prompted the two hall governments to pass the proposal this semester.
Simmons said that his staff had advertised for the position of security monitor shortly after the board approved the proposal and that about 25 people had applied for the five jobs.
The security monitors hired are
all JRP residents, although the position was not limited to residents, Simmons said.
Jim Cardell, Overland Park junior and JRP resident, said that he thought hiring security monitors was a good idea and that most of the other residents he had talked to agreed.
Reggie Estell, Templin security monitor, said he had worked about five shifts since he was hired.
J. J. Wilson, director of housing, said the office of housing would provide the money for the security monitors' salaries and the cost of their equipment.
Cardell said that not having a visitation policy in addition to the security policy as other halls did made the idea acceptable.
Hall visitation policy requires visitors to check in during security hours.
Estell described the shifts as fairly quiet, except for having to tell some residents to turn down their stereos or stop bouncing basketballs in the hall.
"You just walk around every inch of the building and make sure nothing's happening." Estell said.
