Shoemaker vetoes legislation that requires senator attendance
By Heather Moore Kansan staffwriter
A bill that would require all senators to attend the events for which they raised funds has been vetoed by Student Senate President John Shoemaker.
Shoemaker said he vetoed the bill because it contained grammatical errors and incorrect references to rules.
STUDENT SENATE
The bill will be sent to the Student Rights Committee for the necessary changes. It then will be presented to the Senate and will return to Shoemaker for his signature.
Shoemaker said the bill would have to go back through Senate because of Senate regulations.
"If there's a mistake, I can't mark the change and sign it because it's not the original passed by the Senate," he said.
The bill would result in senators being more accountable for the funds that are given to groups.
Kelly Staples, graduate students senator, said that with this bill the senators would know if the groups were fulfilling their obligations.
"It would eliminate the redundancy of sqme groups which overlap funding," he said.
urally it is easier for senators to go," she said.
Golzar said this would cut down on frivolous bill writing.
Nicki Millard, Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said the bill would make senators more accountable.
Lisa Golzar, Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said the bill would be a service to students.
"Someone should check the figures for funding, and nat-

"We could make sure that the event has exact figures for spending," she said.
The senators could attend the event, find out how many people attended and how the money was spent. When the groups come forward for money the next year, Senate would then have a record of how the money was spent.
Alan Tikwart, Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said that he supported the bill but that he wondered who would enforce a senator's attendance. Tikwart also said the Senate needed to have a record or log of funding.
attends, we need to know," he said. Groups need to be fiscally responsible, Tikwart said.

Jeff Bottenberg, graduate student senator, said that he thought the bill was a good idea but that it would be hard to enforce.
"It should be highly recommended that senators attend the events, but we have so many other things we have to do," he said.
Professor at KU recognized among best of U.S. physicians
By Ashley Schultz
Sechin Cho, professor of pediatrics and medical genetics at the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita, is one of the best physicians in the nation, according to the second edition of "The Best Doctors in America."
Kansan staff writer
The book lists slightly more than 2 percent of the nation's 360,000 practicing physicians.
"We asked them who the best clinicians were in their own specialty," said Lucy Stec, senior editor of the book, which will be out in March.
About 17,000 specialists in the United States and Canada were polled, and 7,844 physicians were selected for inclusion in the book.
"The thing that makes this book credible is that doctors do not pay to be listed," Stec said. "They are not required to purchase the book. It's completely done by their peers, the theory being those who are in the profession know who the best practitioners are."
Cho, head of the department of pediatrics at the Wichita branch, said the award meant more to him as a clinician than as a professor or researcher. Cho said that he did not think being mentioned in the book would add more patient to his practice.
"But that's not my focus." Choi said. "My focus in practice is helping people more than anything else."
tice is helping people more than anything else.
The Children's Primary Care Clinic is one way to do
that, he said.
The clinic opened Feb. 1, 1992, in conjunction with the Sedgwick County Health Department. It is a product of Community Access To Children's Health, a
national organization sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Cho is the organization's state facilitator for Kansas.
"In that position, I got to do something in our community," Cho said. "We had this opening of a successful clinic, so I felt like, 'That's my contribution to our children's welfare.' And we're actually doing something for what we preach as child advocates."
The clinic is open four hours a night, four nights a week.
Cho said, "Those four nights, we truly want to serve those children who do not have doctors and who do not have insurance or any financial support."
Cho said that 65 percent of the pediatricians at the Wichita branch and more than half the campus' senior medical students volunteered for the clinic.
"Also, this is the place we educate our junior medical students for our community pediatrics and sensitize the children's plight in our society today," Cho said.
Cho graduated from medical school at Seoul National University in South Korea in 1971 and then completed a fellowship in medical genetics at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore. He became an assistant professor of pediatrics at the Wichita branch in 1978 and a professor eight years later. Cho was named the department's interim chair in 1990 and head of the department in 1992.
Five other physicians associated with the Wichita campus will also be included in the book, as well as 22 physicians affiliated with the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.
