Student Senate Truants Face Suspension,Ejection
Last year the Student Senate was plagued with meetings which lacked a quorum because less than one-half of the senators
By MARY WARD
Kansan Staff Writer
Because there was no quorum nothing could be done at those meetings.
John Wulf, Marion Groves, III, the Student Senate member, the Student Privileges and Responsibilities Committee, said that an attempt to correct this situation was made by a senator which there was a quorum. At that meeting the senate voted for a change in the statute which stipulated that a senator could not have more than two members, but two less than two excused absences.
If a student misses more than the allotted number of either Student Senate or University Senate, then can be expelled from the senate.
The secretary of the Student Senate notifies the Student Executive Committee (Studex) that two complete meetings than two complete meetings. The secretary takes the roll call at the beginning and end of each meeting. If a student misses one meeting, the secretary misses one half of a meeting.
At University Senate meetings senators sign a roll call sheet
indicating that they were at the meeting and that they stayed for all of it.
A student can miss three calls without being previously excused before he is suspended from the senate. He misses a fourth call before the senate.
Studex, or its representative,
informs any senator who has
missed more than the allotted
time for his vote and is
suspended from the senate. The
student is informed that he has
the right to appeal his suspension
before the Student Senate Rights.
Privileges and Responsibilities
He said that because the demands of the senate were slight there was no proxy system which would allow a senator to influence in his office in his district.
"We have been somewhat
tweaked by the staffing
with meetings once every two
weeks we are not asking too
much for students to show up and
pay, but it is worthwhile."
Wulf said that this year his committee had only one omen to be suspended from the senate. The committee then tried to suspend the senators who had been suspended. Three did not appeal their suspension and were imprisoned.
One of the two students who did appeal his suspension had actually been at the meetings. Wulf said there was something wrong
Senate Committee Working on Bylaws
The **off-Campus** *Housing Committee* wants to have computer cards included in the campuses' collection for enrollment. The purpose of these cards would be to help organize information for the committee. The committee wants to know such things as where they are living and what problems they are having.
The Student Services Committee is now in the process of expanding its duties to include all students who want to investigate and attempt to correct any problems or complaints a student has with the course.
This year the Student Senate did not allocate money to an Ombudsman Office because it was thought that the service committee could handle the same task as the Ombudsman office would handle.
The Student Senate Executive Committee will be reviewing the procedure that is used to allocate the budget for all bylaws and fall all bylaws were revised except regulations on budgetary matters. The committee described any procedure on how a group gets money from the Senate, Miss Cowan said. Until today, Auditing Committee has relied more on tradition. It knows that this is not satisfactory and requires that for something written, she said.
Student Senate committees are working this semester on for-
procedures, enrollment cards for people living in off-campus
housing and a channel to help
students attend University, according to Susie Cowden, Kansas City. Mo. junior
and chairman of the Senate
Commission.
The committee will also be investigating the ticket policy for University Theatre events. There has been a complaint that tickets reserved by students were sold to students than the student reserving them.
David Miller, president of the student body, said that 3.2 beer could be brought into the Union in order to avoid it. The Union has offered to cool the beer. University regulations now allow residence halls, scholarship halls, sororities and fostered to have 3.2 beer on their premises.
The other senate was allowed to remain in the senate, but. Wulf had the senate be conflicted with the senate meetings and would probably vote against it.
"Just about everyone makes it for at least half the meeting," he said.
ANTHONY (AP) - A heart attack has claimed the life of Bill More, retired reporter, feature artist for the Kansas City Star.
Wulf said attendance for Student Senate and University Senate meetings had been better this year than it was last year.
R. L. Bailey, chairman of Studex, said that attendance at Student Senate and University Senate meetings was the only codified criterion for expulsion of a senator from the senate. That rule does not govern senators to attend meetings of the senate committees they serve on.
with the records
The senate cannot expel persons who serve in the senate but are not members of the presidents of the organized housing groups. It would be possible for one of these persons to send a representative in his office.
If a school or group wanted to
receive its senator for a reason
other than regular meetings it would go to
through impeachment pro-
cedure.
According to the Senate Code a petition with the signatures of at least 15 per cent of all the members of the committee would have to be presented.
Bailey said the procedure for hiring a vacancy was completed in May, but the vacancy is created for any reason the Elections Committee of the City of San Diego.
This committee contacts the advisory board of the school or college where the student occurred to find out if the board is willing to have an election within a reasonable time.
Should the board decide not to hold an election the runner-up from last spring's election is asked to fill the vacancy. If there will be enough candidates can fill the vacancy the Student Senate votes for the new member.
Bailey said this system had caused some problems. He said there were about six senators who wanted to resign from the university, and from the senate. Some of these senators are representatives of the graduate school. The only runners-up in last spring's elections at Graduate School were write-in candidates with two or three votes. Even though these students received so few votes they could be asked to become senators in the Graduate School to the Student Senate.
Bailey said there was a student who ran for a seat in one of the Colleges within the College who was a junior and therefore was no longer in that college. Because of this he could not be considered a student even though he was a position up in last spring's elections.
Bailey said that this procedure should be changed so that some of the problems the procedure has caused would be eliminated.

All these questions reflect the advantages of remaining free on bail and the difficult to raise the money or not.
Doane said, "The guys who are down there in jail who can't bond aren’t there because they use them because they're not safe because they're poor risks. We've never turned anybody down because they didn't have any

THERE IS ALSO a secondary; discrimination involved in the payment of biennial fees for both an arrested or a charge of sale of marijanes said, "If I were rich I wouldn't have had to go through a bond agency." What matters most back there, I might have lost whatever interest that amount of money could have been making. Mr. Porter felt much as the 10 per cent I paid the
"I think that under the Kansas law, the judges have about the same powers they have under the state law, but I don't know that another amendment to the law would be necessary. Perhaps judges ought to be encouraged to use release in a secured bond in more cases."
Wilson called the bail system, "the most blatant kind of discrimination in economic condition." But he explained the Kansas law would not need to be amended further in order to treat the arrested person fairly

history behind us, it never would have occurred to us that money bond is the way to assure the appearance of a defendant at his trial. We want to say way out, I think the requiring of bond in all cases is an anachronism that ought to be on its way out. The law sometimes even very promptly to what seems necessary very promptly to the society."
Two more questions might be asked. If the Kansas Legislature has recognized enough faults within the ball system to pass the Ball Reform Act of 1970, what should the state do in County experimenting with bail to determine if it is needed in every criminal case?
ACCORDING TO WILSON, the United States' present ball system is the product of the efforts of the American Revolution.
Shultz Denounces AEC Nuclear Dump

IN DOUGHLAS COUNTY there are no statistics to show how many defendants were released in an unsecured appearance bond. But a case by case check of 1,342 criminal Permanent Appearance Done reveals that so far in 1971 none have been granted.
Lt. Gov. Reynolds Shultz urged
all the officials to keep the proposed
nuclear dump of the Atomic
Energy Commission (AEC) out
Speaking before the College Republicans, Shulz said that the AEC had withheld facts concerning the dangers connected to the use of Lyons. He explained that the AEC had been aware of a water leak from the Lyons' salt mines but brought this fact before Congress.
Shultz told the audience he worried that if similar levels of water were present, would endanger underground water supplies in southeastern California.
"We owe no obligations to the
manufacturers of nuclear waste to provide them with a dump for disposal, or whether or not to have a dump should be made by Kansans and the State.
Shuita called for a new approach to the problem and suggested the AEC find it way to solve the problem without before it is deposited.
He said the AEC should be able to make long range safety guarantees about the dump, but said he was confident that a way to provide nuclear power and eliminate the dangers connected with it.
