The Student Senate approved Student Body President David Adkins' administrative staff appointments last night without opposition, despite threats of protest earlier this week.
Maria McDougal, student senator, had said Akwats would be asked to justify his process of acquittal of the murder.
The approved appointments are: Lisa Ashner, student executive committee chairperson; Joe Robb, treasurer; Brant Tidwell, administrative assistant; Slaei Feldman, executive secretary; Royles, administrative assistant and office secretary; and Steve Dunn, ASK Board Member.
The Senate also elected Lisa Ashner to serve on the Senate Executive Committee.
In other new business, the Senate passed Bill 001, sponsored by Senator David Van Parys, of
the law school, to rename the Student Legal Services to Legal Services for Students, demonstrating that services were provided for students, not by students.
MARRAKEEN:
Because this was the first Senate meeting of the semester, the Senate heard speeches about issues that will be considered for voting soon.
DEANLEL TACHA, vice chancellor for academic affairs, spoke about the Report of the Commission on the Improvement of Undergraduate Education.
"I think it has a long-term impact on the research of the University from which you will receive its research."
one said the theme of the report centered on a renewed effort to stress the importance of
Although administrative measures such as class attendance requirements can take effect immediately, Tacha said, curricular changes probably could not take place before Fall 1983.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student
affairs, spoke about the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation's budget problems.
"Without some subsidy by the students, we simply could not build our athletic program to be as good as they are."
The KUAC recommended that students pay $4.50 in activities fees per semester, on a temporary basis, to support the athletic program and to balance the budget.
AMBLER ALSO endorsed a plan to raise money to help people in Poland.
Tolly Smith, graduate student, asked the Senate to proclaim Feb. 14 Have a Heart for Poland
"It's not just the we're trying to send,"
"We're trying to send some kind of more support."
Smith said she hoped organized living groups would support the effort by giving up one meal on Feb. 14 and donating the money to the Friends of the Bank bank account at the Douglas County Bank.
Grant officials to prosecute students accused of aid fraud
From Staff and Wire Reports
The Inspector General of the U.S. Education Department announced Wednesday that violations of federal aid to college students would be prosecuted by the Justice Department.
Jerry Rogers, KU's director of financial aid,
said that there were problems at KU with
students providing false information on their
application for basic grants.
Inspector General James B. Thomas Jr., said that in the last 20 months, 70 investigators working full-time throughout the nation had been accused of prosecution. Seventy-two were chosen.
"I'm not sure how many truly falsified information," Rogers said. "It's not a big problem, but it is."
He said that most of the time, errors were unintentional. People often misinterpreted the figures they were to use from the income tax forms they received and they entered the more information on the form.
Edward Elmendorf, deputy assistant education secretary, said 44 percent of all recipients reported erroneous information, most of which was unintentional, not deliberate,
To avoid the errors, the government stipulated
that 10 percent of all basic grants, now called Pell Grants, will be pulled for validation.
Donna Kempin, assistant director of financial aid, is in charge of the validation process at KU.
She said that half of the applications from KU students had errors. This usually results in a reduction of the requested aid for the student, she said. On occasion, she said, the discovery of errors would show that the student should get more aid than he had requested.
Kempin said the errors usually resulted because people had not read the instructions. Many times, she said, people used the wrong figures from the income tax forms.
If errors are found, financial aid officers must see the income tax forms that were filed. Kempiw said parents usually kept copies of their tax forms, but students often did not.
She suggested that students keep a copy of the tax forms, because it could take six to eight weeks to get a copy from the Internal Revenue Service. This delays the student's financial aid,
About 300 grants were pulled at KU this year for validation. Roers said.
The Pell Grants, named for Sen. Clarborne Pell, D-R.I., who supported the assistance program, provided $2.3 billion in grants to 2.8 million students this year.
difference to the states—at least in this state."
Harder
Harder said that if the federal government did not pick up all of the Medicaid program, then the states would have to assume responsibility for not only Aid to Dependent Children, but for medical services not required by the federal government.

"So, what we will see, in effect, is that poor
brothers and sisters depress their welfare benefits.

He said that states with few resources would raise taxes as the only method to pay for it.
"They have no other option. It's not a matter that they inherently inhumane, if a woman is born with a disability."
said, is to provide a sense of well-being for people who are out of a dependence on work and benefit.
"The only way a society can maintain itself and write off approximately a fourth of its population is through oppression," Hardcastle said.
"It's a good struggle," he said. "It's an important struggle, so if you're into it, you should be."

new prisons and put into effect several substantial changes.
THE KEY points in the Hoagland-Bogina plan would call for:
Prison
From page 1
*renovation of the maximum-security facility at the state penitentiary and construction of a fire station*
- immediate commencement of plans for another medium-security prison, this one, for 708 beds, free-standing and built on state-owned property at Lansing. Hoagland said inmate population projects showed the state would need to expand the next five years. The state now has 750 beds.
- speeding up of the cellhouse renovation at KSP. That renovation began last year.
- a new honor camp for minimum-security inmates at Osawatime State Hospital, which would cost at least $1 million. The plan also calls for expanded use of honor camp inmate labor by other units of government. Several members of the prison committee have been calling for the
construction of more honor camps as a way to alleviate overcrowding at the state's existing
- a prison overcrowding emergency relief act under which the governor could declare that overcrowding existed and could accelerate the parole eligibility dates of certain prisoners. Hoagland he said he opposed this concept, but said it was necessary to help curb overcrowded conditions while the new medium-security prisons are built.
- a moratorium on any significant law changes creating harasser sentencing or parole standards, including the enactment of a guilty but insane verdict.
- a state constitutional amendment establishing a mill levy on the state's taxpayers.

than for beginning medical students still completing science studies.
However, Yarmat said it was important that these first-year students have the experience of these activities.
"Most of these students have just completed four months of study in the sciences and are in their first month of biochemistry," Yarmat said that they would like to see the work that eventually will be颁发的.
When the number of requests for students with clinical experience far outweighs the requests for younger students, Yarmat said, he simply uses friendly persuasion.
weekend," Yarmat said, "usually very easily persuaded."
"I start calling, and so do people in our other offices, and almost always, the doctors are pretty sure we can help."
THE PURPOSE of the weekend, as well as the aim of the entire program, Yarmat said, was twofold. The program not only helps rural areas in their search for doctors, but helps doctors continue to learn through continuing education courses.
Health Care Outreach and Continuing Education has five district offices throughout KY.
"Outreach was formed to be more responsive in recruitment and retention of physicians in Kansas," Yarmat said. "This is mainly for the rural areas - western Kansas."
"Many of the doctors love to have the students come and visit. It stimulates them to keep up with the curriculum."
