Senate Job Means Long Hours
By RON WONBLE Kansan Staff Writer
The Student Senate treasurer's office may be the busiest in the Senate, according to Bill O-Nell. Balwin, M., juni. and senate
O'Neill said Monday, "The treasurer's office by its very nature probably has the most work of any senate office."
The student body president can
construct his day to a certain extent, he said, but because the school has limited student organizations, his office must be open at least five hours a day.
Much of the work the treasurer's office is engaged in, according to O'Neill, comes as a result of a few student executives led by legislature about the procedures involved in spending
Other than staying home and watching television or sneaking in the exit of a local theatre, SUA offers some of the cheapest ways to see a movie.
SUA Films Priced To Produce Profit
The prices are low in comparison to theatre prices, but SUA's four film series are designed to produce a profit.
That profit, according to Chuck Sack, Lawrence graduate student and SUA board member in charge of the film programs, is rechained into the SUA's non-profit making areas.
Sack said that only two of SUA's eight areas of activities, concerts and films, make a profit.
money allocated to them by the senate or the rules governing that money.
O'Neill speculated that even if the Finance and Auditing Committee did some of the postauditing that his office currently does, "I would probably do as much as I do now to keep on top of it."
At the beginning of each school year, the four series are produced by the profit. Sack said that this year films were budgeted to make
Katherine Giele, SUA activates, said that the popular films, although the most exotic of them, had good results so far this year.
She listed student projectionists, rental on projectors, film rental and publicity as the major expenses of the film program.
Sack said that Tod Browning's "Freaks", which drew more than 1200 people was the top box office movie for a film shown only one night.
Auditing, O'Neill said, makes it necessary for him to have an assistant. The treasurer's office is allocated $500 a year by the bank, and $200 a month by an assistant. The new assistant, Debbie Rutenberg, Des Plains, ill. sophomore, said that last week she worked 28 hours and O'Neill worked 30. She also worked 18 hours with her usual and that her normal work load would be near 20 hours. O'Neill said that as soon as
"The Boys in the Band," last weekend's Popular Film Series attraction, has done the most of two-tie showing so far this year.
O'Neill said that as soon as Miss Ruttenberg became oriented to her position she and her team over much of the auditing.
O'Neil said he was lucky because he took enough hours to plan. He also sophomore years to enable him to devise the necessary time to his
Because of the heavy work load, O'Neill said, he had to restrict his academic load to nine hours a week, the previous treasurer carried.

The contingency fund is the current balance from the activity less minus the money allocated for the year.
O'Neill said that many senators would not even think to ask what the balance in the contingency fund was before granting an

O'Nell explained that it was up to the treasurer to determine under what item headings a sale would be listed. In this manner, O'Nell
He cited two ways a treasurer could concavely influence senate decisions by withholding information on the contengency

O'Neil called these possibilities "basic flaws in the entire relationship between an information and a leisuretime."
Pay Board Votes Lid On Raises
O'Neill defended the present activity fee. He said the fee had potential for good but that senate had not been given a real chance.
He said it would be a mistake to throw the fee out because it was not constructed properly the first time.

The department of radiology at the University of Kansas Medical Center has been separated into diagnostic and treatment units as a step toward the establishment of a regional cancer treatment center, said Dr. William O. Biekle, chairwoman for health affairs.

The National Institute of Health granted $46,810 to the Medical Center to study the feasibility of establishing a cancer Research Center. The 18-month study will begin in November.
