it student will be to compete in next
month.
The last candidate ran in the door with three seconds to spare.
Bonie deNoyelles, secretary in the Student Senate office, said that yester-
"It always comes down to the last," she said. "The last half of the last day." More than 100 of the Senate candidates represent five conitions.
THE PRIORITY COALITION led all coalitions with 45 members filing for the election, scheduled for Nov. 16 and 17. Scott Swenson, former KU director of the Associated Students of Kansas, is running for president on the Priority ticket. His running mate is Dennis Strickland, Buehrus junior.
Twenty-five members of the Freedom Coalition filed, while 23 members of the Momentum Coalition filed.
Steve Bergstrom, Winnetka, III., junior, is the presidential candidate for the Freedom Coalition. Greg Haunchchild, Scott City Junior, is his running mate.
Last night, the Senate Elections Committee allowed the Momentum Coalition's Kevin Walker, Webster Groves, Mo., senior, and Mark McKee, Overland Park junior, to become official presidential and vice presidential candidates. Walker and McKee failed to file by last week's deadline.
The fifth coalition, Voice, filed at noon,
the morning, five hours before the deadline.
The Costume Party filed 10 candidates for Senate seats. Costume's presidential candidate is Dennis "Bog" Highberger, Garnett senior. He is running with Carla Vogel, Overland Park senior.
The coalition's organizers decided to file today, said Andrea deVarennes, Derby freshman and a member of the coalition. She said that the coalition was small because the candidates
wanted Senate seats in a just few schools. The coalition does not have a presidential candidate.

ASK criticizes high school curriculum
Groups to testify on educational standards
By PETE WICKLUND Staff Reporter
The Associated Students of Kansas today is expected tell a legislative committee that high school graduation requirements should be strengthened to maintain open-admission policies at Kansas and other Regents universities.
Mark Tallman, ASK's executive director in Topeka, said the student lobby organization would be one of several groups that will testify before the Legislative Educational Planning Committee at 11 a.m. today at the statehouse.
Also testifying will be Regents
members and representatives from the state's community and private colleges.
The Regents said in June that they favored maintaining the current open-admission policy, which allows people to enroll at Regents schools if they have a high school diploma or its equivalent.
BUT TALLMAN SAID the current open admissions policy was allowing too many students who were not adequately prepared to enter college
"It is an illusion to say we have an open-admissions policy when students aren't adequately prepared to handle it." "Tallman said."
The ASK Board of Directors, which is composed of, the ASK on-campus
directors and some student body presidents member schools, met Friday at Washburn University in Topeka to determine a stand for today's meeting.
While several members of the board of directors said they concurred with the Regents policy on open admissions, they said strengthening high school requirements, especially in mathematics, would not contradict the present open admissions policy.
sities.
ROB RAINE, STUDENT student body president at Wichita State University, said an open admissions policy was in the best interest for all Kansas residents, but said there should be a smooth transition between graduating from high school and entering universi-
"I think our educational systems have to be integrated so you can move from one step to another without any problem." Raine said.
Tom Akins, student body president at Emporia State University, said that asking the Regents and the state Board of Education for stricter high school requirements would not mean that ASK will have a favorable stance on open admissions.
TALLMAN SAID THAT ASK did not think the Regents should require entrance examinations to ensure that students were prepared for college. He also said that ASK did not advocate a review of University Probation policies.

Commission studies downtown financing
The Lawrence City Commission yesterday began reviewing public financing methods for downtown redevelopment, even though the commissioners will not choose a redevelopment plan until Nov. 8.
City Manager Buford Watson told the commission that the key public financing tool was the Urban Development Action Grant, which is available through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Affairs to help cap hopes to raise more than $8 million through the federal grant.
CRITERIA FOR THE UDAG include a minimum requirement eligibility status based on the financial condition of the city, which Lawrence has met. The grant also requires letters of commitment from the main project and the development team and the developer's financing sources.
UDAG grants originally were only for downtown redevelopment, but now are available for general economic improvement. A UDAG grant requires private funds to match the grant. The ratio of private to public spending can be as high as 6 to 1 or as low as 3 to 1.
Watson told the commission that general obligation bonds, which are financed with tax dollars, could be issued without a public vote.
Most of the commissioners rejected the sales tax idea, saying that it was a regressive tax.
Another possible tool is a $ _{1/2} $ cent sales tax.
the commissioners also rejected this idea, saying that the commission had promised the voters they
would have the opportunity to vote if general obligation bonds were used.
WATSON ALSO REVIEWED the creation of enterprise zones within the city.
The City Commission tonight will be considering a map of proposed enterprise zones for adoption.
The Legislature passed a law allowing for enterprise zones designed to help revitalize older business districts by decreasing costs incurred areas such as taxes and government regulations.
The commission also reviewed the creation of a benefit tax district for businesses that could benefit from redevelopment. The taxes would be amenities that would benefit the store owners, such as a public plaza.
Other financing available to the city includes:
- Utility Improvement Bonds, which are used for relocating sewer or water lines, and are paid for by the public agencies administered by the public utilities involved.
*Tax Increment Financing, which is a way to use increased tax revenue from development to pay for public investment in the project.
*Street Improvement Bonds, which are general obligation bonds that are used for street improvements.
- Business Improvement Bonds
Owners of businesses may establish an improvement district and then levy an assessment, from which the funds are distributed for construction and financing of public services, or other redevelopment.
- Industrial Revenue Bonds, which can be used to help the developer finance construction. The developer is responsible for repayment, not the city.
