Mclntosh said he would support a 10-month payment plan, which would provide students with the option to pay their tuition in full instead of paying once before each semester. McIntosh said his plan would make paying spring tuition easier for students who find it difficult to earn money during Christmas break. Shoemaker said that he thought the plan was misleading and that it would convey the message that students could not budget their money. "You would be speaking to the student body as if they were children," Shoemaker said. Shoeman said he supported the current system, which provided students the option to pay their tuition in full before each semester or pay a fee deposit, which allowed students to pay the remainder of their tuition at the beginning of each semester. KU on Wheels, the campus bus system, was also a topic of discussion. Bernard Cox, UNGANISHA presidential candidate, proposed cutting bus routes from Daisy Hill to campus, and Ed Austin, FOCUS presidential candidate, advocated expansion of the system to serve both students and the Lawrence community. "We want buses off campus for environmental reasons," Cox said. "The planned cuts will save us a minimum of $23,000."

Commissioner steps down UNITE candidate alleges election official is biased By Brett Riggs Kansan staff writer Following allegations that she could not be impartial, Diane King. Student Senate election commissioner, yesterday removed herself from the list of eligible ballot sorters for tomorrow and Thursday's Senate election. John Shoemaker, UNITE presidential candidate, yesterday told the election commission he thought King was not impartial when dealing with his coalition. Shoemaker alleges King gave preferential treatment to another coalition in approving a request to hang a campaign banner on campus and by attending only that coalition's fund-raising party. "Due to the allegations, I have questions concerning her partiality. Sheoamaker said." King said that Shoehmaker's allegations were not valid and that she made her decision to provide a more comfortable atmosphere for all the candidates. "I just want to show that I have nothing to hide," King said. "My job is to ensure a fair election." Shoemaker said that on March 16 King had denied the UNITE coalition's initial request to place a campaign banner on campus but granted the A.C.T.I.O.N.!! coalition's request, even though it came after the UNITE request Chris Bailey, co-chairperson of the election commission, said that in order for coalitions to put banners up, they must receive approval from both the election commission and the University events committee. He said that King denied the request because the election commission was unable to hold a meeting between March 16 and 22 to discuss it. Since that time, the election commission has approved UNITE's banner. king said that the A.C.T.I.O.N!! banner had been approved first because it was the first to approach the events committee. Shoeman also expressed concern about King's attendance at the March 15 A.C.T.I.O.N.!! fund-raising party because she did not attend the April 4 UNITE party. Bailley said that after King attended the A.C.T.I.O.N.!" party, the election commission decided that she should not attend the other coalition's parties because the election commission had no control over off-campus campaign events. "I can see where Diane thought it was her job," Bailey said. See story, Page 9. The owners of Free State Glass, 307 E.

Coach recruits his way to Hall of Fame Kalum Haack leads softball team to success by signing top talent By Mark Button Venue sportswriter Kansan sportswriter Kalum Haack begins his day walking between the showcases and down the west wall of Allen Field House, on the way to his office. The corridor is, quite literally, the Kansas Hall of Fame. Looking up at the pictures of the elite members inducted, the Kansas softball coach sees his own face. In February, during halftime of the Kansas-Oklahoma State men's basketball game, Haack became the 15th Kansas coach, and first softball coach, to be inducted into the Kansas Hall of Fame. "It's a great honor," he says. "It's hard to believe that my picture is going to be hanging here for eternity — next to Roy Williams and Glen Mason." A fiery competitor who hates losing more than anything, Haack has never suffered a losing season. Of his six years as a head coach, five of them at Kansas, last season was his best, he says. The 1992 'Hawks were 45-10 and champions of the Midwest Region. The team represented the Midwest in the 1992 NCAA Women's College World Series. Haack settles in behind his desk as he credits his players for his induction. "I've surrounded myself with good players," he says, looking at the photographs of past Jayhawk teams that hang in his office. "I think the players are more of the Hall of Fame caliber than I am." Maybe so. But he recruited them. Floyd Temple, who made the decision to hire Haack and who coached Kansas baseball from 1954 until he became the assistant athletic director in 1811, said that, above all, Haack was one of the most effective recruiters he had seen. "He brings girls from California out to a less-desirable climate," Temple said. "That takes some talent. He's one of the finest young coaches in the nation." Haack, 35, spends his mornings, after the 9 a.m. edition of ESPN's "SportsCenter," viewing video tapes of possible recruits or on the phone talking to the coaches of high school prospects. Junior pitcher Stephani Williams, who was ranked among the nation's top 15 in victories, saves and earned run average last season, said Haack's recruiting ability was a main factor in her decision to leave California and come to Kausas. "He has a real eye for talent," Williams said. "He is a hardline salesman. I knew I would be playing with quality players." Haack also was responsible for recruiting former Jay-hawk third baseman Camille Spitaleri, the only three-time All-American to play softball at Kansas. "He challenged me," Spitaleri said. "He knew some California schools were looking at me, but he told me." Send me a tane, and if I think you're good enough, I'll sign you." She hadn't intended to even look at Kansas. However, she sent him the tapes to prove to Haack that she was better than "good enough." The rest is history.
