Senate picks new advisory group heads
By SARA KEMPIN Staff Reporter
Student Senate has appointed 14 senators to be chairmen of their schools' dean's advisory committee, the student body vice president said recently.
Jim Cramer, the vice president, said that last year's Senate had passed a resolution to set up the committees to enable students and student leaders to have more input in legislative decisions within their schools.
Last year's budget cuts made students anxious to have a say about how their money would be spent, he said.
THE SENATORS CHOSEN to be committee chairmen are: Laura Lonberg, Allied Health; Jim Pleper, Architecture; Jon Glchrist, Business; Amy Bush, Education; Daniel Rellihan and Scott Burch, Engineering; Nancy DeVore, Fine Arts; Chris Coffelt, Journalism; Christine Fidler.
David Fidler, Mark Delworth and Tom Shelton, Liberal Arts and Sciences, Scott Megafinn, Pharmacy; and Dena Moles, Social Welfare.
Cramer said that he had recently talked to Deanell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs, about his interest in working with Tacha had agreed to the proposal.
He said the senators who were chosen to head the committees would recruit students in the different schools to be on the committees.
Cramer said that the deans had expressed a lot of interest in starting the committee but that they wanted the startups to be innovative and touch them with the idea.
THE PURPOSE OF the committees is not to take the place of any other student group that might meet with the dean but to offer the deans the opportunity to receive more student input, he said.
should input, we
"We're not trying to control input,
but we do need a liaison there," he
said.
The committee leaders have shown
a lot of interest in the program, Cramer said, and are excited about learning more about the workings of their schools.
he said the committees would also help the senators better understand and serve their constituents.
"If senators participate in decision-making within their schools, they will be better able to address the issues of student achievement; the students they represent," he said.
Lance scannell, dean of the School of Education, said, "We do encourage our students to have an organization of their own called the School of Education Student Organization for inlet into school decisions.
"BUT IF SENATORS want to organize a special group to give further input, we would welcome that."
Laura Lonborg, Wichita junior and School of Allied Health committee chairman, said she thought the committees were important because they got more students involved in the workings of their schools.
"The committees are a real positive step for student leadership," she said.
Tacha said the committees we formed at the request of the Student-Senate. David Adkins, last year's student body president, had received a reelection when he presented the idea to the dams' council, she said
THE FIRST ORDER OF business will be to decide how to select student committee members, he said.
John Toleffson, dean of the School of Business, said he would meet soon with the leaders of the school's dean's advisory committee.
"We will also review budgetary information and discuss the students' other concerns," he said.
"For example, we'll probably be discussing the proposed $15 fee because students are interested in it.
"We will also attempt to map out an agenda for next year."
we said students in the business school could also have input into school decisions by becoming involved in several school committees.

Despite the absence of fraternity representatives, Rho Lambda, an honor society that recognizes outstanding Greek students, may be registered with the University next week.
Sheila Immel, adviser to the KU Panhellenic Council, recently submitted an application for Rb Lambda to recruit a number of student organizations and activities.
Fraternity members have not been admitted because Panhellenic officials misunderstood who could join.
TEDDI BANKES, Enterprise sophomore and vice president of public relations for Panhellenic, said that at first, the council was not aware that the society included fraternities as well as sororites.
"The delay was our own ignorance," she said. "When we found out that fraternities could be included, we tried to get them involved, but I guess there was not enough time."
Immel said the society, which is composed of one member of each of the sororities, would include members from each fraternity next year.
Michael Bischler, Kansas City, Mo.
freshman and IFEC executive secretary
said the fraternities needed more time to select representatives.
1MMEI SAID THE IDE of establishing a Greek honor society began last year, when the society's national chapter contacted Jan Fink, then president of Panhellenic, about establishing it.
Fink said that although the idea of establishing a chapter at the University came from Panhellenic, it was important to include both fraternities and sororites.
Fink, Manhattan senior, said there were no Greek honor society now at
Brad Becker, Leawood sophomore
and president of IFC, said that the move to bring Rho Lambda to the University happened quickly because Jim McMurphy's decision to include the fraternities.
BISCHLER SAID THAT establishing a Greek honor society was a good idea and that the format of Rho Lambda was especially beneficial.
Rho Lambda requires that each prospective member be a junior or senior at the University with a minimum grade point average of 2.3.
The honor society will help Panhelenic and IFC with activities including Greek Week, SuperDance and an annual blood drive.
Fraternity purchases house
The Theta Chi fraternity will have a house next fall after a search of more than two years, the president of the fraternity said yesterday.
Scott Seyfarth, Oak Brook, III, senior and Theta Chi president, said that financial support from alumni and the $175,000 house at 1011 Missouri St.
Seyfarth said the fraternity had looked for a house since September 1800, when the fraternity first came to the University.
"The house is just what we were looking for," he said. "We contracted the house a couple months ago and got the final loan approval recently."
SEYFARTH SAID THE most desirable aspect of the house was its expansion possibilities.
the house right now will accommodate about 14 members," he said. "But because it's on a large plot, we can
expand the house and eventually accommodate all 50 members."
Seyfarth said he would like to begin the expansion as soon as possible but a time had not been determined.
OF THE UNIVERSITY'S 28 fraternities, all but five have houses. Twelve of the University's 17 sororities have houses.
Ann Eversole, director of Student Organizations and Activities, said that although many fraternities and sororities on other campus groups had joined the University was a tradition at the University for members to live in houses.
Ten killed by bombs in India
By United Press International
NEW DELHI, India — Two bombs killed at least 10 people and wounded 15 others yesterday in Assam state as Prime Minister Indira Gandhi toured a camp packed with refugees fleeing violence that has claimed 4,100 lives.
No group claimed responsibility for the bombing in Balto Bazar, about 100 miles east of the Bangaio refuge camp where Gandhi began a three-day inspection tour of relief and security operations in Assam state.
The prime minister visited some of the 315,000 people made homeless during two months of fighting between militants and migrants from邻邸 Bangladesh.
wave black flags and light oil lamps to protest her third visit this year to Assam.
Gandhi arrived in Assam earlier in the day and toured the camp at Bongaigan on the plains of Goalpara district in eastern Assam — an area wedged between Bangladesh and Bhutan.
Native Assamese militants demanding the expulsion of some 4 million Bengali immigrants have vowed to boycott G弯's speeches.
Bongaigane is one of 305 hastily erected refugee camps providing crude shelter and subsistence food to 270,000 homeless people, state officials said.
An additional 15,000 refugees also occupy camps in West Bengal state, and another 30,000 refugees have climbed into the Himalayan foothills of Arunachal Pradesh state, where they live in other camps, regional officials said.
Anti-immigrant violence erupted in Assam Feb. 1 when many of the state's 12 million native Assamese demanded Gandhi strip illegal Bengali immigrants of voting rights and expel them
