AURH candidates file for approaching election
Three teams of candidates have filed to run for president and vice president of the Association of University Residence Halls.
The teams began their official campaigns Friday, and elections will be held during dinner at the eight halls. Halls Wednesday and Thursday.
Presidential and vice presidential candidates run together on a ticket, and each candidate is required to be from a different hall than his running mate. Running separately are two candidates for secretary and one for treasurer.
The presidential candidates and their running mates: Chris Schneider, Kansas City, Kan., junior, and Jim Rambottom, Belleville sophomore; Bob Dowdy Coffeey junior, and Alan Rowe, Emporia freshman; and Marine Adams, Merriam sophomore, and Mark Preut, Olaine junior.
All the presidential candidates said that they wanted to increase resident participation in AURH, but each had different priorities and priorities for accomplishing it.
SCHNIEIDER, currently AURH treasurer, said the basic problem with AURH was that the residents did not know enough about the organization and that AURH could better inform residents through the reinstatement of the AURH publication, The Resident, which was discontinued this year.
Schneider said another priority was to strengthen the AURH committee structure and minimize "game-at" the General Assembly meetings.
Dowdy, currently vice president of Templin Hall, said that AURH was too far removed from the residents. He proposed moving the General Assembly meetings from the Kansas city area, he said that AURH should take care of student needs that related to the halls and help to make the halls comfortable.
He said that AURH should sponsor more service projects in an effort to work with the campus and the Lawrence community.
THE THIRD presidential candidate, Catherine Adams, is now the AURH social programs committee chairman. She also cited The Resident as a means for establishing better communication with hall residents.
"I'd like to see social programs do more than beer parties," Adams said.
Adams proposed involving AURH in projects outside of the University of Kansas and in more cultural programs.
Running for the office of secretary are Marie Greenhaven, Overland Park sophomore, and Pamela Porter, Olate junior.
Ron House, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, will run uncontested for treasurer.
AOPi fined, put on probation
The Panhellenic Council put the Alma Omicron Pi security on social probation and fined them $250 Feb. 17 to avoid further harm in the wrong way at the wrong time.

When the friend was dropped Jan. 14 from formal rush, the selection process for sororities, the two AOPis didn't think that calling her to offer consolation was an infraction of the contact rules they' signed before rush started.
By signing contact rules, all sorior members agree to never discuss rush with any participant in the process until a formal rush until after the process ends.
"I don't feel I broke any rules," said Debby Helya, an overland Park sophomore who allegedly broke contact rules. "Contact rules are to prevent dirt rushing, and if a girl's out of rush, that's not going on.
"I just figured a rushee was somebody going through. It sounded out better than I thought."
THE OTHER member of AOPI who allegedly broke rules asked not to be identified. The two AOPIs didn't question the contact rules. They just ignored the contact rules the way that Panhellenic intended for them to be interpreted, they said.
Pannellini considers all women registered for rush as participants in
rush until bids to pledge are distributed, regardless of whether the woman is eliminated from formal rush by all the sisters. The two AOPIs who broke contact rules thought they applied only to women still in the process.
"The exact definition of what a rushee is or is not obviously was not clear to some of us," said Lisa Kivett, president of AOP1. "We did break the rule and we feel that it was a technical infraction that did not violate the spirit of the rules."
The rules are designed to ensure that sororites won't unfairly influence participants, said Sheila Immel, Panhelenbic adviser.
"It upsets me that people don't understand the reason they agree to these rules." Immel said. "We just feel we are not the ruskers from people calling them."
THE WOMEN who broke contact rules said they were bitter about the way the whole incident was handled by both Panhellenic and AOPi, which contributed to their reasons for no longer belonging to the sorority.
Kivett said that this incident was the first time Panhellenic had dealt with strict penalties for contact rules. Important to Kivett is the supp of officers who took charge, Kivett said.
National Panhellenic rules state that the sorority be disciplined should be notified in writing within 24 hours, although under special circumstances
the deadline could be extended to 10 days after the incident.
The incident occurred Jan. 14 and AOPI was contacted Jan. 19, but written notification did not reach the sorority until Feb. 17.
Jenny Struble, AOPI regional vice president, said the original probation proposed by Panhellenic—one full year—and against national Panhellenic rules. The penalty was reduced to include only this school year.
PANHELLENIC was informed by a rush guide that some AOPi was been caught breaking contact rules, and it let AOPI research the details. Kivett said.
Although the AOPis were the only group penalized, they were not the only group whose members contacted the same participant in rush.
The participant, who asked to remain unidentified, said that a member of the Alpha Gamma Delta house had also contacted her before the end of formal rush to get a recommendation for another woman.
The AGD sorority member apparently did not know the participant was involved in rush, Immel said. Although ignorance of the implications of contact rules is not an excuse for breaking them, not knowing that woman is a participant in rush is an acceptable reason.
Although both of the AOPs who broke contact rules are no longer members of the sorority, the house is still being punished with a $250 fee and social
probation until the end of the school year.
ALL AOPI members originally agreed to pay any fines individually, but because the two women have left the city, the clap must take responsibility for the fine.
"You can't squeeze blood from a turnip," Struble said. "Since they refuse to pay, we could take them to small claims court, but that would only make things worse. It's got to be paid, and it will come from the chapter."
The stiff penalties enforced for breaking contact rules fail to distinguish between minor infractions and blatant violations, Kivett said, and Panhelenic's hard-line stand on the issue does not correspond to the flexibility shown in national Panhelenic rules.
Jan Fink, Pannellenlic president, agreed that the rules were not yet perfect. She said although she regretted having to enforce strict penalties, which have never been used before this week, there were there, and they had to be observed.
As a result of the incident, the contact rules and penalties are being re-evaluated by Panhellenic. They should be improved as the women learn what works and what needs to be changed, Fink said.
Thetas-DUs win top awards
The Kappa Alpha Theta and Delta Upsilons walked away with the best overall production and three other awards for their show, "Potion Pricilicent, or Is Your Life Love on a Rock Chalk Revue Saturday night."
The DU-Theta act won the best production number, the best performer awards and was judged the best for sets and costumes. The act was about a woman doctor trying to formulate a love potion to make her lab assistant fall in love with her and the molecules in her potion trying to bond together to keep from being tossed in the reject pile.
DU member David Rogers, Wichita sophomore, won the best performer award for his pretray of Elmer Bond, a misfit molecule whose bad luck with bonding kept the story's love potion from working.
