CAMPUS Panel will discuss morals, economy and legislation
The St. Thomas More Society of the University of Kansas will host a panel this afternoon from 3 to 5 p.m. in 203 Green Hall to discuss how recent legislation and economic activity has shifted America's moral perspective of the law.
The symposium will take a
look at issues American society didn't take much notice in, such as CEO bonuses, before the recession and government bailouts. Josh Goetting, Leavenworth second-year law student and president of the St. Thomas More Society, said the financial crisis has brought new issues to light that students haven't previously considered.
"This panel is important for students who aren't so familiar with the laws because every time the legislature passes a new law it has a lot to do with the moral perspectives this society has as a whole," Goetting said.
Panelists include Michael Scaperlanda, professor at the University of Oklahoma College of Law, Michael Schuttloffel, executive director of the Kansas Catholic Conference, and Kara Tan Bhala, senior portfolio manager for the Merrill Lynch Dragon Fund.

PARKING Mississippi Street garage open to red, blue permits
In addition to gold parking permit holders, red and blue permit holders are now allowed
to park in the garage on Missisippi Street.
Donna Hultine, director of parking and transit, said red and blue permits were now allowed to park in the garage on Mississippi because gold permit holders were parking in red and blue areas.
Gold parking lots behind Strong Hall, Bailey Hall and the Facilities Operation building were closed beginning April 3 because of construction.
"We started out saying we'd honor gold permits starting now in the garage," Hultine said. "Then we started to hear from red folks who said that golds were really pushing into the red zones too because they are allowed to park in red or blue."
After a lengthier discussion than in years past, Paul Heferon, Overland Park senior and Student Athlete Advisory Committee senator, said that SAAC endorsed United Students for this week's Student Senate elections.
The gold lots will reopen August 1.

ELECTIONS SAAC announces its pick for United Students
vice presidential candidates from Envision and United Students attended.
"We felt like both coalitions had really strong platforms and discussed the merits of both coalitions," Hefferon said. "We thought it was important for SAAC to come out and endorse a coalition."
In two of the past three years, SAAC has held the town hall meeting and gone public with their endorsement of KUnited three years ago and United Students last year.
SAAC gathered in Hadl Auditorium located in the Wagon Student Athlete Center to host a town hall meeting Monday night, in which president and
Candidates from Students of Liberty and Free State were absent from the meeting.
Hefferon said in addition to endorsing a coalition, it was also positive to see two athletes running with opposing coalitions. Mackenzie Abernathy, Plano, Texas, freshman and track and field athlete is running with Envision, while Darrrell Stuckey, Kansas City, Kan., senior and football player is running with United Students.
Assistant athletics director Mike Harry said it was great because the reason candidates started coming to the town hall meeting was because they realized what a powerful voting block student athletes were.
Online voting will be open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Wednesday, as well as 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday.
