Student leader pleased with Budig's accessibility
Tuesday's Student Senate punch-and- cookie gathering with new KU Chancellor Gene A. Budig indicated a swing in education and administration relationships.
The swing is toward more accessibility of students to the chancellor, according to Bren Abbott, student body vice president.
BUDIG SPENT AN hour chatting with about 45 student senators in the Kansas Union, outlining his goals.
Abbett said that Budig appeared very receptive to students, as was Del Shankel when he acted as interim chancellor last year, but that both were different from Archie R. Dykes, KU's former chancellor of seven years.
"I never even met Dykes, and I was involved in student government," Abbott said.
"But I've met with Chancellor Budig four times, even though we have barely started the semester."
David Adkins, Student Executive Committee chairman, said he, too, thought that Budig's approach contrasted with Dykes's administration.
"Students were afraid to approach Strong Hall when Dykes was chancellor." Adkins said.
"In the past, an edict was handed down. Now, I feel confident that the administration will solicit our input before major decisions are made."
In addition, Budig has included Student Body President Bert Coleman his weekly Monday morning meetings with selected staff and faculty members.

One major goal was to establish a pre-enrollment system, but Budig was not certain when could he be implemnted before he had yet had time to explore the possibilities.
Pre-enrollment for KU has been discussed for the past several years at KU, but never implemented.
Loren Busy, Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee chairman, said that he sponsored a Senate bill last year to re-enroll, but it died in committee.
Busby said he might re-introduce the resolution, but such a decision would require approval from the administration and faculty, as well.
OTHER GOALS BUDIG outlined were sustaining present enrollment figures and a recruiting of more minority students.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig met with student senate representatives at an informal reception yesterday.
