Budget responsibility transferred
Responsibility for the Student Senate budget this year will be transferred from the Senate Executive Committee (SENEX) to the Senate Finance and Auditing Committee tonight.
A budget submitted to the Senate last Wednesday was merely a recommendation for the allotment of funds from student fees for various campus organizations.
Peter George, Tuckahoe, N.Y., graduate student and chairman of SENEX, emphasized the plan proposed Wednesday was only a recommendation by SENEX, which actually has no power to propose a budget.
Abortion advocate at K-State
MANHATTAN—Bill Baird, an advocate of reformed birth control and abortion laws, said Tuesday he was "seriously considering running" against Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., in the 1970 Senate election.
At Kansas State University for a lecture and demonstration on giving abortions, Baird said he was considering running against Kennedy because a "new breed of cat" was needed in politics. Baird criticized Kennedy for failing to take a public stand on abortion or birth control.

"Last spring," George said, "the Student Senate didn't have time to set up the regular committees because of the several disruptions on campus. Only SENEX was established.
"During the summer, we were the only functioning organization of the Senate. Since a budget of some kind had to be drawn up, we looked at requests for funds by the campus organizations and formulated a budget from those figures.
"Those figures were only recommendations. Now that we have a Finance and Auditing Committee established, Rick von Ende will move tonight that all recommendations other than administrative funds be given to the Finance and Auditing Committee for review," George explained.
George said the committee will hold public hearings on the budget and he hopes all groups affected by the budget will appear to state their reasons for fund requests submitted last spring.
"We want to know, and we feel the students ought to know, just what these organizations plan to do with the money, and if the organizations are actually benefiting the students," George said.
George said the hearings will last three weeks. The committee will then make its final decision, and the formal budget will be submitted to the Student Senate for approval.
