Since taking office in March, the Costume party administration has been putting its personal touch on most of the areas connected with student government.
But until now, Carla Vogel and Dennis "Boop" Highenberg, student body president and vice president, will come to touch the Senate office itself.
THE SENATE STAFF conducted an all-staff cleanup to get the offices ready for the "onslaught" of business this fall. Highbinger said.
Along with the summer has come a less demanding schedule for Vogel and Highberger, who found time Monday to clean house and put their stamp on the Student Senate offices.
The Student Senate offices were closed from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., although the doors were never officially locked. Higherberg said.
"I don't know how long it's been since it's been cleaned up," Highberer said.
At the Senate office staff's last meeting, Andy O'Reilly, administrative assistant, urged the staff to set a date to clean the offices.
MEMBERS OF THE staff had been thinking about a cleanup day before, Highberger said, but O'Reilly's insistence got things going
"I found all sorts of stuff that doesn't belong in here." Highberger said, motioning to a big metal file cabinet covered with papers and boxes.
Besides cleaning up and sorting out, the new Senate staff is adding a few items to make the office more "like home."
Above the desk in the president and vice president's office hangs a picture that Highberger and a few friends created over the Christmas vacation.
"We call it 'Original Sin,'" he said, motioning to the abstract maze of colorful lines splashed onto a piece of butcher paper.
A similar picture hangs in the hall of the Senate offices.
This masterpiece, Highberger said, was composed with finger paints.

"I've trained 14 or 15 people who have saved lives." Sampson said.
As chairman of the Douglas County American Red Cross safety services, he coordinates instructor training for courses including first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and water safety for the northern half of Kansas.
Lawrence police officer Gary Sampson has seen tangible results in his volunteer work.
SAMPSON SAID THAT he began volunteering for the Red Cross in 1976 and had since logged 1,000 hours for the organization.

The need for volunteers in Douglas County is always present, said Donna Butler, a staff member with the Volunteer Clearing House, located in the Lawrence Community Building, 115 W. 11th

"YOUNGER PEOPLE MIGHT volunteer to get good practical experience." Butler said.
People volunteer for various reasons, she said. For instance, retired people have extra time and get satisfaction from performing a service.

The clearing house is a referral agency aided by the United Fund that helps people who want to volunteer find organizations that can use their skills, Butler said.
Butler, who works part-time as an editor for the KU division of continuing education, said she

The clearing house acts mostly as a referral agency, and it is directly involved with United Wheels
volunteered because she had been able to meet people and learn about the community.
United Wheels is composed of 28 volunteer drivers who provide rides for the elderly, handicapped and people with low incomes.
The clearing house pays for the volunteers' gas used - $2 for in-town rides and 21 cents per mile for rides out of town.
UNITED WHEELS receives about 25 to 30 calls for rides each month, she said.
The clearing house has been in Lawrence since 1966 and was originally located in the Kansas City area and floor of the Community Building.
Ethel Williamson, 1101 Vermont St., has helped to fill the need for volunteers by working for the Boulder Council on Aging, 745 Vermont St.
While the clearing house has more privacy than at other locations, Butler said, it also has less visibility, "almost too little."
She works with various aspects of the council's services, from handling the switchboard to serving meals. She is also involved with Project Earn, a program that helps older people find work to supplement their incomes from Social Security.
"I'm busy," she said, "and I love it."
The council sponsors meals for the elderly every day at noon.
"The older people are able to have company and a balanced diet," she said.
