Senate seat to stay on ballot despite likely amendment
By PETE WICKLUND Staff Reporter
The names of three students running for the off-campus Student Senate seat will remain on the ballot during elections later this week, even if the Senate votes tomorrow night to eliminate the seat, the Senate Elections Committee chairman said yesterday.
Jim Clark, the chairman, said yesterday that the election ballot would not be changed because it was too expensive to reprint the ballots.
The amendment, which was introduced at the Nov. 2 Senate meeting, was proposed after election ballots were sent to be printed, be said
THE SENATE IS expected to approve changes in its operating policy at the meeting—including an amendment that would eliminate the off-campus seat and four other living group Senate seats, which are appointed. The off-campus seat is an elected position.
"Right now," Clark said, "all candidates who are running for off-campus are campaigning just as there was no question about the seat."
The amendment to eliminate the living groups seats was proposed by Loren Busby, chairman of the Finance and Auditing Committee.
Busby said he introduced the amendment to eliminate what he called "duo-representation" in the curriculum, and group seats, students are represented by elected senators from their University schools.
Clark said that he could not comment on whether the amendment was a good idea because as elections committee chairman he had to remain impartial. He did not mention the timing of the proposal's introduction.
However, Jim Cramer, student body vice president, said he definitely disapproved of the amendment and did it was "a bad piece of legislation."
The amendment does provide a provision that would allow the off-campus candidates to re-file for election to a Senate seat representing their various schools. But the amendment does not bind because the amendment stated that the "Senate suggests" that the action be taken.
If the amendment passes, the re-filing measure could be a problem for two off-campus candidates running on the Momentum and Priority coalitions, because their school seat has been filled. he said.
The third off-campus candidate would not be affected because he is running as an independent.
Cramer said that four living group senators were expected to introduce an amendment tomorrow night that would require senate to keep the living group seats.
The proposed amendment states that the students who live off campus or in living groups need representation, but it does not specifically address the issue of mother to eliminate the off campus seat.
Administrators will not know exactly what KU's fiscal year 1985 budget will look like until sometime during the 1984 legislative session, but officials recently received a preview of what they might expect.
The state budget division last week forwarded its budget recommendations for Board of Regents schools to Gov. John Carlin. The recommendations are one tool that the governor uses to inform him on recommendations to the Legislature.
Dave Dallam, budget division analyst for the Regents schools, said that

Kansas still had not recovered from revenue shortfalls that had plagued the state's coffers the past two years and required budget recommendations were cornered.

Although the University proposed a $10.8 million increase in its general use operating budget, which includes revenue from tuition, the state budget division recommended only a $6.6 million increase.
Entry: $1.00 and an unopened can of racquetballs.
Dallam said that the recommended increase would finance a 5 percent salary increase for classified and unclassified personnel and for the other operating expenses fund.
The budget division did not recommend that the University's $1.5 million request for program improvement be financed. The increased financing was earmarked for graduate support programs, new faculty members, library acquisitions and equipment and instrumentation facilities.
"I'm sure that the University would feel that they are bare recommendation."
The recommended general use expenditures for the Lawrence campus total $101 million, up from the estimated $9.3 million in expenditures for the present fiscal year.
THE REPORT ALSO includes a recommendation to cut more than 14 positions. Dallam said that the budget should be used for which positions would be terminated.
The budget division recommended that expenditures at the University of Kansas Medical Center be increased to $158.2 million, according to 1984 expenditure of $155.1 million.
The section in the budget invites report dealing with the Med Center included a recommendation to cut back 40 staff positions.

Small coalition wants to represent majority voice

By PETE WICKLUND Staff Reporter
Three candidates in this week's Student Senate elections hope that a little voice will go a long way.
Andrea deVarennes and Kathy Hillgren, both derby freshmen, along with Stephen Smith, Omaha, Neb., freshman, are seeking three Senate seats under their three-member Voice Coalition.
Hillgren and deVarenes said their reason for running against four large coalitions, the smallest of which has 12 candidates, was that they wanted to get involved and represent a majority of the coalition not affiliated with any of the coalitions.
'WE'RE RUNNING BECAUSE we feel that a lot of people's voices aren't
"What the heck," she said. "Three people are better than one."
"We won't be going in there cold," deVarennes said, adding that she had attended a few Senate meetings this year.
Hillgren and deVarennes said that all three candidates were involved with student government at their high school. Then they them if they were elected to the Senate.
But deVarennes said that losing Duff did not hamper their enthusiasm aboutrukings.
THE CANDIDATES SAID that their main goal would be to create a communication channel between their coalition and their constituents. As for the others, their objectives, they said they would wait until they were elected before making any promises.
"I think as far as any major plans, we're going to have to wait until we get in there," deVarennes said. "I think it will be a lot of learning as we go."
Hillgren and deVarennes said that if they were elected, they didn't think that being a minority coalition would hamper their effectiveness.
Hillgren added, "We're freshmen. We don't know what went on last year."
Both deVarennes and Hillgren said they thought they had a definite advantage in the election because 17 Nunemaker seats were open.
The overwhelming competition the Voice Coalition faces tomorrow and Thursday does not worry Hillgren and others. They said they would win their seats.

"WHEN PEOPLE GO in and say, 'I can push 17 levers here, who can I vote for?' hopefully they will say Voice," deVarenen said.

Hilgren and deVarenes said their campaign strategy would require a lot of vocal work from the members of Voice. DeVarenes said that financial limitations prevented them from running a flashy advertising campaign.
