Mandate calls for better representation
Sports committee seeks impartial board
The Student Senate Sports Committee next week will try to ensure impartial student representation on an advisory board to the athletic director, by adding a mandate to the Senate's Rules and Regulations.
By PETE WICKLUND Staff Reporter
Jon Gilchrist, Hays senior and the Senate's representative to the Student Sports Council, said the team will be jointly selected by the council be jointly selected by the student body
president and a representative from the athletic director's office.
LAST YEAR THE six members were chosen by the sports council's other membership that includes representatives from the Kansas Athletic Corporation, the Senate, the various on-campus living groups, the Graduate Student Council and the University Affairs Committee.
Gilchrist said he hoped the mandate also would help improve communication between the athletic department and the council.
at-large members in that manner made it possible for the athletic department to manipulate the committee in their favor.
But Gilchrist said that selecting the
"There's just the potential that these problems could exist," Gilchrist said.
"The possibility exists that they could get six students in there to vote the ballot."
The sports committee would ask for the mandate at the Oct. 19 Senate meeting in which senators would review proposed changes in Senate committee and advisory board structure, Gilchrist said.
ANNE STUCKER, Evergreen, Colo., graduate student and chairman of the sports council, said she hoped the provision would ensure that the athletic department was listening to all student concerns.
Stucker said that during the last year the athletic department had been more vocal than the students at council meetings.
She said the impartial selection of council members would keep the athletic department from dominating council meetings.
City approves parking changes despite protests
By SUSAN WORTMAN Staff Reporter
Despite protests from a neighborhood resident, the Lawrence City Commission last night voted to eliminate some of the 1200 block of Kentucky Street.
George Schmittendorf, 1211 Kentucky St., opposed the city's parking changes, saying the neighborhood was already short on parking.
Previously, cars could not park in the 1200 block of Kentucky Street between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Now, the two new ordinances passed by the commission will prohibit parking from the north end of the block and leave about 120 feet of parking on the south end of the block.
GEORGE WILLIAMS, Lawrence public works director, said signs forbidding parking had always been in place. But the insurance will match the signs, he said.
City Commissioner Ernest Angino, said parking was available in the alley behind the building.
But parking in the alley would be impossible because there is no space, Schmitendorf said.
"The garages are going the wrong way. You couldn't even turn around in them if you wanted to," he said. "Well, you could park back there if you paved part of your yard, but that is the only way."
HOWEVER, SCHMITENDORF said
The commission also approved a sign variance that will allow the Theta Chi Fraternity to put a sign in front of its new house at 1011 Missouri St.

he would protest the ordinances again at next week's City Commission meeting. And, if commissioners still refused to allow parking in the 1200 block of Kentucky Street, he would consider taking the city to court.
