Loren Busy, a five-term senator who finished second in the recent student body presidential elections, said he would present a letter of resignation this morning to Carla Vogel, student body president.
(Note: These class sessions will be held if enrollment is sufficient.)
"After considering the advantages and disadvantages, and conferring with my family, it became apparent that I had a great opportunity to pass up," her letter said.
BUSYR SAID he did not resent losing the student body presidential election, and he felt no bitterness toward Vogel or Demin "Boog" Highberger, student

accepting applications for the positions.
Busby said he decided to resign after talking to friends, political allies and supporters of Vogel and Highberger. Most, he said, advised him to resign.
The first Spring meeting of the KU Water Ski Team will be held Thurs., March 22 at 7 p.m. in the lobby of the Burge Union.
southard said that most of the affected property owners were not low-income residents and that many were absentee landlords who rented to students. The most that a sidewalk repair project could cost a property owner would be $400, he said.
Lynn Goodnell, director of community development, said yesterday that he was working on the low-income eligibility information and that letters probably would be mailed in about a week.
Highberger said he and Vogel had decided to appoint an entirely new staff because of the recent resignations and because Bush planned to leave at the end of the semester.
If property owners do not make the improvements in 60 days, the city will do the work and charge the property owner $250 per assessment on his property taxes.
Tuesday night the commission also decided to defer discussion of the location of a community center Lawrence Indian Center for one week.
Her resignation comes after the Black Student Union called for her resignation March 7. The BSU also called for the resignations of Mark Carver; David Friend; StudEx chairman; and Amy Bush, executive secretary.
DeNoyelles could not be reached for comment.
Property owners in the Oread neighborhood east of the KU campus will have 60 days to repair their damaged sidewalks when they receive a letter from the city because of action taken by the Lawrence City Commission Tuesday night.
And if property owners in the affected area, along Ohio Street between Ninth and 14th streets, raise the rent, they will not do so because of the city's order to improve sidewalks, said Delfi Schachmann. Neighborhood Association who worked on the sidewalk project.
However, DeNoyelles did not mention the BSU's request in her letter of response.
After seeing a rough draft of the letter Tuesday, City Commissioners authorized city staff to send letters to local firefighters damaged sidewalks to repair them.
Bossi announced his resignation Tuesday.
City Manager Buford Watson disagreed with the site designated by Goodell and Virgil Free, a counselor at the center, because a park would have naturally nudged the land at 19th Street and Haskell Avenue for landscaping.
However, commissioners suggested that the staff include information in the letter about eligibility for community development funds for low-income residents.
