Election bills sent to Senate by committee
By MICHAEL ROBINSON Staff Reporter
The Student Senate Rights Committee yesterday put its support behind a bill that would remove ballot boxes and live groups during Senate elections.
After electing Jan Fink, Manhattan junior, as the new chairman, the committee endorsed one of two bills that would amend the ballot boxes during elections.
However, both bills were sent to the Senate and will be debated at a 6:30 meeting tonight in Smith Hall.
The second bill called for the placement of ballot boxes in apartment houses and places around Lawrence that students frequented.
That bill was passed on to the Senate without any recommendation.
The senators who wrote the two bills wanted both sent on so that Senate would have a choice.
Loren Busy, Finance and Auditing Committee chairman, said that the present system of placing boxes in fraternities, sororites, scholarship halls and residence halls gave those students an advantage over off-campus students.
Busby, a co-author of the bills, said. "We just see the problem and we'd like to correct it."
During the discussion, the authors asserted that the bill was intended to equalize student access to ballot boxes in elections, not improve general turnout.
But, Bert Coleman, student body president, said the bills were an attack on the ability of students in "campus affiliated" living groups to vote.
"Basically I think it's an attack on one living group by another living group," Coleman said at the meeting.
"I'll veto that bill if it passes," he said later. "I hope it doesn't."
Wheat Meet settlement expected this week
In an effort to reach a settlement with promoters, the KU facilities operations department today will inspect sound equipment damaged in the Wheat Meet charity fundraiser.
An electrical supervisor will go to Pyramid Sounds' warehouse to inspect equipment that may have been damaged when electricity was cut at the end of the Sept. 26 Wheat Meet concert, Thomas Anderson, director of facilities operations said yesterday.
ANDERSON'S DECISION to inspect the equipment came after a meeting of University officials and promoters yesterday.
"Everybody was just great." Anderson said about the meeting. "The events of that night and responsibilities were discussed."
There was some confusion about the time the music was supposed to go off and the time the electricity was to have been cut off, he said.
"It's a joint responsibility," Anderson said. "I think some mistakes were made on their part and on our part."
Pyramid Sounds of Lawrence occurred $729 worth of damage occurred when facilities operations were in use, and the portable generator at 11 p.m. before
technicians could turn off the sound system.
THE DAMAGE sparked threats of legal action from Jeff Sharp, Wheat Meet chairman, but after the detention he would not bring legal action.
"I think there certainly will be a settlement," he said. "And we certainly won't be suing anybody."
A settlement was extremely close, Sharp said. In the next few days a conclusion may be reached.
"Mr. Anderson brought up some very legitimate problems and points concerning the responsibilities of the city when it comes place that evening." Sharp said.
Jon Blubaugh, used the of co-sponsor, Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity, will analyze the situation, Sharp said, and together he and Blubaugh will come up with a proposal for a settlement.
THE AKLs and Chi Omega sorority co-sponsored Wheat Meet to raise money for KU's Audio Reader program.
Anderson indicated that facilities operations and the AKLs might share the costs of the damage.
"I think everyone agreed the whole thing was caused by a lack of communication." James Waller, president of Pyramid Sounds, said.

Students offered free flu shots
He said persons in those categories should get a flu shot each year.
"There isn't much of it around now," he said. "But you never know how it will come out. It's sort of a guessing game."
People under 28 should get two shots, a month apart, Wollmann said, unless they have received a flu shot within the last three years.
Free flu shots are available for students at Watkins Memorial Hospital, the director of health services announced yesterday.
Few cases of influenza have been detected at the University of Kansas so far this semester, Wollmann said.
"We won't refuse anyone," Wollmann said. "But it's specifically recommended for people who have had kidney disease and for elderly people."
The shots have been available for about a week, Martin Wollmann, director of health services, said. Although people with chronic illnesses are encouraged to receive a vaccination, encouraged to receive a vaccination, the shots are available for everyone.
It is not necessary to receive the shot from a physician, he said, unless they have specific problems or questions.
Anyone who is allergic to eggs or egg products should not get a shot because the vaccine is prepared from a virus in duck egg embryos, Wolmunn said.
Shots will be available to KU faculty and staff for $3, he said.
The Kansas alumni chapter reimburses the Oklahoma alumni chapter for costs of alcohol and bartenders if no reservation is noresidual fee at Commons Restaurant.
People over 29 need only one shot, he said.
Alumni invite fans to pre-game meal
Fans who want to stay for the lunch must make reservations in advance
KU football fans are invited to a social hour and buff lunch before the KU-Oklahoma game Saturday at Norman, Oka., Dick Wintoreme, University of Kansas Alumni Association director, said yesterday.
Because the restaurant is about two blocks from the stadium, no shuttle bus will run. Fans must find their own transportation to and from Oklahoma.
A cash bar social hour will begin at 10 a.m. at the Commons Restaurant in the Oklahoma Center for Continuing Education on the OU campus. Wintermorte said he expected about 200 fans to attend.
through the KU Alumni Association office in the Kansas Union. Tickets cost $7 per person.
The cost of the parties varies with location and attendance, Clair Keizer, field director, said.
Meal tickets cover only part of the food costs.
Pre-game parties for away games are sponsored regularly by the association. The first party of the season was Sept. 5 in Tulsa, Okaa, and the next party will be Oct. 24 in Lincoln, Neb.
"It's more of a gamble with a buffet than with individual mccs'." Keizer said. "We're expecting 150 to 175 to attend the luncheon, and we've had about 100 reservations so far. But what if only 50 show up?"
