talking about revisions but no one had made any changes.
"We wanted to revise the rules once and for all," he said.
Although most of the changes were technical clarifications, Cramer said, the committee added detailed descriptions of the duties of the officers.
The committee also consolidated eight Senate committees into five, he said.
Asher said some of the Senate's committees had nothing to do because their scopes were too narrowly defined. Jurisdictional problems led to overlapping projects.
"There was no incentive for students to get involved and stay involved," she said.
Asher and Cramer's administration also established a campus arts festival called the Festival of Arts.
Ashner said the festival would give artistic students a chance to perform and to display their
This year the festival will be larger, she said, and students will be allowed to sell their work.
Cramer said, "I think the festival will become a tradition. Talented students have opportunities for small forums in the Union gallery or Spencer Museum, but this is a large outdoor festival."
The festival will be April 25 and 26 on the lawns of Stauffer-Flint Hall and Watson Library.
Cramer said he and Ashner also started deans' advisory committees in several professional schools on campus.
The intention of the committee is to give students a voice in administrative decisions within the schools, he said.
The schools of Business, Education and Social Welfare have since started Dean's Advisory
Ashner's most controversial action was a weto last spring of a Senate bill allocating $9,500 to bring G. Gordon Liddy and John Ehrlichman, Watergate conspirators, to speak on campus.
Ashern said she didn't think the Senate had enough money in the unallocated account at that time. "We don't have a budget."
She also said the allocation was inconsistent with the Senate's policies because the group that had requested the money had not solicited donations from any other organization.
Although both Ashner and Cramer said that they would be relieved when their terms were over, both said they would value the time they spent in office.
Cramer said he had learned how to motivate people.
Ashner said her veto power had taught her how to articulate her position, and service on KU and Board of Regents committees had taught her how to work with a variety of people.
"I learned more about managing people and ideas from being vice president than from anything else I've done," he said. "I've also learned that people to communicate and not be judgmental."

Polls open at 9 a.m. today for the student-body presidential election.
The polls at Strong Hall and the Burge Union close at 4:30 p.m. but students can vote at the Kansas Union until 7 p.m., Goldberg said.
Voters must present valid spring semester student identification cards.

their baby," Wisner said. "If a baby dies, it takes a toll on you whether you cry or hold it in. Later on you can always tell."
She said that of all the calls the Jaystork responded to, about 90 percent of the babies returned to health. Most of the calls were for premature births. Many of the cases associated with premature births, she said.
"It is emotional for everyone, not only the parents," McDaniel said. "You never get used to a sick baby. You're always empathetic and sympathetic."
Of the rotating team, only one driver, one physician and one nurse go on each call.
"The physician and nurse have to know each other," McDaniel said. "Strangers are never thrust into this situation. We have to know each other's strengths and weaknesses."
When the Jaystork team is rushing to a hospital to pick up an infant, the specialists can radio ahead to check the condition of the baby so they know what to expect.
A big part of their job, McDaniel said, is to comfort parents of a sick baby to make sure they
know exactly what is happening to their child.
Donnal Walter, an associate professor in pediatrics and the acting director of the department of neonatology at the Med Center, said that most of the van's calls were in Kansas.
"I know it was the first such unit in the Midwest," he said. "Possibly it was the first in the nation."
Walter said the premise of the mobile unit was to eliminate the need for rushing to the scene and then rushing back to the hospital.

Informed that Mondale had been upset, Boagan said Washington, "Well, that's going to happen."
But asked if he thought Mondale had received a fatal blow, the president said, "Oh no. There are a lot of primaries to go. Remember, Super
Tuesday is yet to come."
Hart built his victory with young voters who were overwhelmingly for him and among independents who gave him 42 percent of their vote compared to 12 percent for Mondale, according to an NBC survey.
