Student Senate approves office staff, selects two for vacant council seats
ny SARA KEMPIN Staff Reporter
The Student Senate approved a new Senate office staff and selected two senators to fill vacant seats on the University Council and the University Senate Executive Committee last week.
Jill Eddy, Lake Quiva sophomore, and Robin Rasure, Topeka junior, were selected to fill the vacant SenEx and University Council seats.
The University Council, which is made up of members of the Faculty and Student Senates, is a governing body that considers issues of concern to both faculty and students, said Lisa Ashner, student body president.
BECAUSE STUDENTS work together with professors outside of the
classroom, they can relate to them more as equals, she said.
Rasure said she had served on the University Council two years ago when it was discussing a financial exigency policy. The policy states how the University should back up person-on-programs in case of financial emergency.
Rasuru was also elected to SenEx, an executive branch of the University College.
"University Council deals with important issues," she said. "It's exciting to see progress."
According to Ashner, SenEx sets the agenda for the University Council.
"It TWAS A subcommittee of SenEx that actually formulated the sexual harassment policy last year before the University Council discussed it," she said. "Both the University Council and the SenEx positions are important ones
because members are dealing with such important issues."
Members of the office staff are Eddy, chairman of the Student Senate Executive Committee; Terry Frederick, Dallas junior, Senate treasurer; Mark Bossi, Winfield junior, administrative assistant to the treasurer; Dan Cunningham, Lenexa senior, acting executive secretary; Teresa DlMouch, Prairie Village junior, journalism; and Marc Nicolas, New York City junior, board member of the Associated Students of Kansas.
Ashner said the Senate staff would work with senators to rewrite the Senate rules and regulations and the revenue code.
Frederick said he hoped the revisions would be complete before spring budget hearings.
Tree transplantation keeps gardeners busy
By JIM BOLE Staff Reporter
Gardeners at the University of Kansas do more than just clean up their lawnmowers during winter.
They were out in the snow last
wednesday pouring sand and salt on
the ground.
And last week they transplanted 23 ash trees to the south edge of Shenk Recreational Sports Complex, on West Campground. The natural wind-fulfilling for the playing fields.
Jim Mathes, assistant landscaping director, said the 18-year-old ash trees were transplanted from a four-acre nursery on the southwest corner of West Campus maintained by facilities operations gardeners.
Thick kelsis, green trees, and prickly barberry bushes ca.1, be found along the
HE SAID THE trees, which have been in the nursery since they were saplings, had been growing too close together and needed to be transplanted.
The nursery now has a 100-foot trench, 7 feet wide and 4 feet deep, with a drainage pipe.
Mathes said the row of trees was
removed by first slicing 39-inch deep rectangular groungs around each tree with a trenching machine. Then, a ramp was dug deep enough for a bulldozer to scoop out each tree without damaging the roots.
He said transplanting was usually done in the winter because trees were more likely to survive a move while they were dormant.
MATHES SAID some trees were planted in the nursery as saplings, then transplanted when they were more mature. Others are brought to the nursery from campus because of construction.
In December, he said, workers transplanted pine trees from the Haworth Hall construction area to Allen Field House and south of Murphy
Mathes said facilities operation employees would transplant trees in front of Learned Hall to the nursery this week because of the future construction of an engineering library addition to Learned Hall.
Allen Wiechert, University director of facilities planning, said bids for the $1 million library would be taken on Thursday.

Battle continues as Baptist minister leaves county jail
By United Press International
PLATTSMOUTH, Neb. — The Rev. Everett Sieven was to be released today from the Cass County Jail in another chapter in his five-year battle against state-certified teachers in church schools.
Sieven was to be released this morning after completing a much-interrupted four-month contempt term for operating an unaccredited school in Louisville, Neb., in defiance of a court order.
"At Oklahoma and Nebraska where sellouts have changed the methods of distribution, they're looking for an answer," I think KU is more service-oriented.
KU has an advantage over the other schools, Remick said, because internal contracting decreases contract profit goes directly to the University.
The preacher contends state regulation of church schools, including a requirement that state legislation teach the tenets of constitutional guarantees of religious freedom.
In the Big Eight, Remick said, the University of Oklahoma and University of Nebraska athletic departments bought and sold concessions themselves to increase the amount of revenue.
REMICK SAID KU was one of the few schools in the nation in which the athletic department contracted within the school to sell concessions.
Some other Big Eight schools contract with private distributing firms to decrease the amount of work, he said.

Decrease in concession sales accompanies football season
Staff Reporter
As they stood in the line for several minutes with 38 others waiting to buy concessions, one impatient folded and crumpled dollar bill between her
scheduled in the later months of the football season, when weather is usually colder, less is usually sold, Remick said.
The women looked at each other and silently decided it wasn't. They walked back up to the stands.
Five minutes passed and one turned to the other and said, "I don't know. Is it worth it?"
BUT FOR THE KU Athletic Department and the Kansas Union Concessions Division, who stand to gain from each cola, candy bar and bag of popcorn sold, that sale would have been worth the money.
THE ECONOMY and inflation may be helping sales at athletic events. Remick said he thought fewer people were stopping off at drive-in restaurants before games because eating out was easier than getting a budget at the game.
Concessions sales at athletic events provide 21 percent of the concession division's net profit, which also comes from sales from all campus vending machines, Wescoe Hall cafeteria, the snack bar at Murphy Hall and the rental of caps and gowns for commencement.
Rermick said that several years ago, beverages accounted for almost 80 percent of the total concession sales. In the past several seasons, beverages have accounted for only 35 to 65 percent of the gross sales.
an contract the Union and the athletic department have for the distribution of concessions at games, Ferguson said, gives athletics a 70 percent cut of the net profit and the Union 30 percent.
During the 1981-82 football, basketball and track seasons, total sales of food and drinks were about $312,000, said Warner Ferguson, associate director of the Union. After labor and other factors, the department had more than $72,000 was left to split between the general funds of the athletic department and the Union.
Since 1941, when the two groups first started working together, no season has passed without a profit, Ferguson said.
BUT PRELIMINARY figures this year show that concessions sales at athletic events will fall short of expectations.
For the last football season, in which the Jayhawks went 2-7-2, the December report of the football budget shows that profit from concessions was lower than 20 percent lower than expected and 15 percent lower than last year.
He said he thought that winning and losing had a direct psychological effect on a fan, so winning brings in more sales because fans are happier.
Remick, a 30-year veteran of concessions sales at KU, said he had a theory about why sales were lower than expected: people go to sporting events to be entertained. When they don't see a good show, they don't buy.
Kevin Remick, concessions manager, said he expected sales at basketball games also to be lower than budgeted.
If few people show up for an event, the possible number of customers is decreased. But if the stadium or field house is near capacity, people don't want to fight the crowds to go to the booths, and the individual vendors cannot cut through the crowds to sell, either, be said.
Attendance, Ferguson said, has much to do with the quantity sold to fans. The ideal crowd for setting up games is less than capacity. Ferguson said.
BUT PSYCHOLOGICAL factors are only part of what influences sales at the retail chain.
Remick said sales were better on warm, sunny days when than the weather was cold and rainy.
In seasons in which the games are
At each athletic event, about 12 different items, ranging from pop to candy and popcorn to cigarettes, are sold at booths run by student organizers in this season. Remick is testing the game for chili and chili dogs at games.
