Senator will run if elections are opened
By CINDY HOLM Staff Reporter
A veteran student senator yesterday announced that he would run for student body president if the Student Senate tonight voted to open the election to new candidates.
Loren Busby, the senator, said Paul Bushkirk, Wichita graduate student, would be his vice presidential running mate.
problems behind them and restore the Senate's credibility.
Busby, Hutchinson senior, said he and Buskirk chose "Starting Over" as their coalition's name because they wanted to leave the recent election
The Senate will vote tonight on a proposal, submitted by a special elections committee, that recommends an open election be held on Feb. 29 and March 1. The Senate meets at 7 p.m. in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union.
Busby said that he and Buskirk had decided to run because they were disgusted about problems that had surfaced since the election.
"IF A GOVERNMENT IS not elected by a legitimate means, it's not a legitimate government," said Busby, who has served as a senator for five years. "After this farce of events, in

minds of the majority of the students,
Student Senate is a joke."
Buskirk said that Starting Over's top goal would be to bring in an independent organization to conduct future Senate elections.
Busby said, "What legitimate government body runs its own election?" The United States Senate does not run Senate elections.
"TO GET OUR CREDIBILITY back, we have to make it clear to students that it's absolutely imperative to get
Student Senate on its feet again." Busby was also the Finance and Auditing Committee chairman for three years.
Buskirk was the chairman of the reorganized transportation committee until August and was a senator from 1980 to 1983.
Busby said that he did not run in November because he could not find a telephone.
The new election came after the Momentum Coalition appealed to the University of Kansas Judicial Board. The board recommended in December that Chancellor Gene A. Budig order a new student body presidential election
County unemployment unaffected by KU exodus
By ROBIN PALMER Staff Reporter
The exodus of KU students for the holiday break had no effect on Douglas County's December unemployment rate, which at remained 3.6 percent, the manager of the Lawrence Job Service Center said yesterday.
Edson Mills, the center's manager,
said that when KU students left
Lawrence they sometimes caused a
rise in the unemployment rate because
fewer people were in the work force. Therefore, when the number of unemployed people is divided by the number of people in the work force — to determine the unemployment rate — percentage unemployment rate rises.
The work force did not decline enough in December to cause a change in November's 3.6 percent unemployment rate.
However, the effects of severe winter weather and the holiday exodus of KU students will probably cause an increase in the unemployment rate for Januarv. Mills said.
THE LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE employed by the University of Kansas makes the unemployment rate in Oklahoma when KU is not in session, he said.
He also said that the December unemployment rate increased slightly for people working in manufacturing, farming and government; and that the record-breaking low temperatures in late December, which caused shutdowns in construction, will probably
force January's unemployment rate up. Overall, officials forecast a stable unemployment rate for 1984.
THE LAWRENCE UN-
EMPLOYMENT rate was slightly less than the Kansas rate, which held steady in December at 4.4 percent for the third month in a row. The Kansas Department of Human Resources monthly report for the state released by the Kansas Department of Human Resources.
