Timetable design contest lets students make a mark
By Gerry Doyle gdoyle@kanson.com Kansan staff writer
Students at the University of Kansas will have the opportunity to perform a facelift on the timetable of classes.
For the second year, the registrar's office and Student Union Activities are sponsoring a contest in which students can design the timetable cover, said Brenda Selman, associate registrar.
The contest allows students to contribute to a project that affects all students. Selman said.
"The advantage is that it's the KU student's book," she said. "This way, they can be more in touch with what they see."
The contest is co-sponsored by SUA in an effort to involve students more with the University, said Kerry Hillard, Alma senior and SUA vice president for university relations. The contest gives students input they otherwise might not have, she said.
"It'll be really good for student recognition," Hillard said. "It's nice to know that the University is taking time to do something for students."
Andy Rohrback, Andover senior, won last year's design contest. Rohrback said he entered the contest after he saw a promotional poster. His design was aimed at incorporating campus landmarks and interesting use of color.
The contest allowed him to do something that interested him and to leave something at the University, he said.
Contest entries are due by 5 p.m. April 3 in 150 Strong Hall. Each entry should present three designs — one for the summer, fall and spring semesters. The winner will receive $150.
More than 85,000 timetables are printed each year. The books are circulated at the University's Lawrence campus, at the Edwards campus in Overland Park and at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
"Since I'm graduating, I wanted to leave my mark," he said. "I wanted to do something that a lot of people would recognize."
TIMETABLE CONTEST:
How to submit artwork: Art must be submitted on a 3.5-inch floppy disk with a file that includes color separation and all fonts used. A laser-printed hard copy also must be submitted.
What the design must incorporate: The design must have the words "The University of Kansas Timetable of Classes," the term in which it will be used, room for the publisher's logo and a content overview list.
Rules: A complete list of rules and design parameters can be obtained from 150 Strong Hall.
Elections code release delayed
The counsel mailed the ruling yesterday, and it was not available at press time.

The Elections Commission will delay the release of the final elections code until Wednesday because Victoria Thomas, the University's general counsel, is ruling on whether Student Senate campaign spending limits are constitutional.
"If the counsel's ruling is different from what the commission has decided, we will discuss how we will respond to the ruling before releasing the final elections code," said Brad Finkeldei, Elections Commission chairman. The next commission meeting is Tuesday.
The campaign spending limits in the preliminary elections code are $2,210 for coalitions and independent presidential and vice-presidential candidates. The limit is $200 for independent senators.
Scott Sullivan, student body president, had asked Thomas last week to decide whether the spending limits were constitutional. In 1989, the general counsel ruled that the limits were unconstitutional.
"We want to know if they're are constitutional or not. If they aren't and the commission has them in the code, someone who loses the election can sue. If that person wins, then the election's results would be invalid, and there would have to be another election," Sullivan said. "No one wants that to happen."
Jason Fitzell, Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said the commission should keep the spending limits even if Thomas rules against them.
"The sentiment in the country and on campus is for spending lim
The spending limit for coalitions and independent Presidential/Vice-Presidential candidates shall be two-thousand two hundred and ten dollars ($2210). The spending limit for independent Senatorial candidates shall be two hundred dollars ($200).

its because people feel candidates are buying the vote," Fitzsail said.
Scott Kaiser, Nunemaker senator, proposed the commission get rid of spending limits altogether.
Fitzell had proposed the Elections Commission reduce the preliminary spending limits at the complaints hearing last Monday.
"I believe that campaigns are about educating people about issues, and it takes cash to do that in the form of filers and posters," Kaiser said. "When you limit money, you are limiting the amount of education candidates can provide about issues."
