Student earns volunteer center award
By Todd Selfert
Kansan staff writer
Determined. Motivated. Full of energy.
Those are the words that Paige Geiger, president of Pi Beta Phi sorority, uses to describe Laura Brophy, the first-ever recipient of the Student Volunteer of the Year Award.
The Roger Hill Volunteer Center announced yesterday that Brophy, Prairie Village junior, won the student award which was sponsored through the center.
The center, a service provided by the United Way of Douglas County, asked various groups around Lawrence to nominate people for one of four awards: the student award, the group project of the year, the volumteer of the year and the award of excellence.
Only the Volunteer of the Year Award had been given before this year.
Geiger said nominating Brophy was an easy decision.
"She's in charge of community service for our house for two years now," Geiger said. "She's totally dedicated to getting volunteers for different projects. She was the obvious choice."
Two other KU students, Delissa Drewes, Dodge City graduate student, and Angela Kokorila, Leawood more, also were finalists for the award.
have received the award.
"It's kind of neat because I'm the
first person to win it," she said. "It's nice to be recognized, but a lot of people have helped me out to get the projects done."
Brophy said that most of the volunteer work she organized was related to a community service contest for Rock Chalk Review, a variety show performed by selected fraternities and sororities.
Brophy's sorority completed more than 2,200 hours of community service during the competition earlier this spring.
"I don't mind putting in the hours because I like to do the work," she said. "I also get to motivate people and hopefully broaden their horizons."
Some of the projects Brophy has organized include park clean-ups,
working at bingo games and throwing parties for children's groups.
Barb Smith, director of the United Way of Douglas County, said her organization could not provide as many services if people did not volunteer.
Brophy, who is studying human biology, said her experience as a volunteer may have altered her career plans.
"There aren't enough funds available these days," Smith said. "We need dedicated individuals to volunteer services or the kinds of thing we're doing now wouldn't happen."
"I'm not for sure yet, but I'm looking into working for the United Way or some other organization that works to stimulate the community," she said.
BRIEFS
Third count will decide business senators
The Student Senate elections commission today will re-count the ballots for the business senatorial race of last week's Senate election.
The business election ended in a tie on April 15 until a re-count that night showed Catherine Bubb and Bradley Stasius as the winners. The Senate elections code requires a third count in races requiring a reon the second floor of Watkins Health Center, which was the ballot sorting location for last week's election.
The ballot re-count will be at 4 p.m.
The original vote count had UNITE's Bubb with 73 votes, and FOCUS' Stasiulis and UNITE's Shanda Vangas with 68 votes each. The re-count had Bubb with 72. Stasiulis with 69 and Vangas with 68. There are two seats for business students in Senate.
Board to hold hearing on election violations
The Student Senate elections commission will hold a hearing Sunday to hand down rulings on complaints filed during elections last week.
The hearing will be at 2 p.m. at the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union. Chris Bailey, co-chairperson of the elections commission, said a five-person board would hear each allewith the elections commission during the election. But Bailey said that many of the complaints did not have sufficient evidence to make it to the hearing process.
gation and allow the accused to defend themselves. The board is made up of four members of the elections commission and headed by David Hardy, associate director of the Organizations and Activities Center.
were violations. He said that if the complaints were ruled to be violations, then penalties or fines would be handed down.
Bailey said that the board would decide whether the complaints
About 190 complaints were filed
Inmates protest jail conditions, refuse food
Seven inmates of the Douglas County jail refused food Thursday as a part of a hunger strike protesting prison conditions.
The inmates complained of overcrowded jail cells and an unhealthy diet. They did not officially present their complaints to jail officials, said Lt. Bill Shepherd, Douglas County jail administrator.
Instead, they told local news media about the complaints. One of them called Sunflower Cablevision Channel 6 at about 11 a.m. Wednesday and called the Lawrence Journal-World later in the day, said
reporters at the station and the newspaper.
Shepherd said jail officials did not plan to take any action on the complaints. But he said he agreed with one of the complaints.
"We have an overcrowding problem," he said. "We're currently at the city commission level trying to solve the problem."
As for the complaints about the food, Shepherd disagreed.
"Personally, I feel the food is fine," he said. "They get three square meals a day."
