Student Senate selects 4 replacement senators
By Lara Weber
Kansan staff writer
Four KU students now have a stronger voice in student government after being approved as replacement senators on Student Senate.
Eleanor MacNish, Senate Elections committee chairman, introduced the new senators at the Senate meeting on Wednesday that had been chosen from 30 applicants.
The new senators are Todd Boerger, liberal arts and sciences senator; Guy Krause, law senator; Brian Hodgson, lawyer; and Seth Taxler, Nunemaker senator.
The students were selected after interviews with the elections committee.
MacNish said the committee reviewed the applicants' previous experience, interest in Senate, academic history and involvement in other KU organizations when applified. But MacNish said the said was not necessary for the applicants to have been involved in other organizations to be on Senate.
Krause, a Warrenburg, Mo., third-year law student, said he previously had been interested in Senate legislation to apply by Bill Haldenman, law senator.
He said he was eager to learn more about Senate.
"I have a lot to learn, so I haven't got a firm platform I'm shooting for yet," he said.
Boerger, Winfield junior, is a transfer student from the University of Houston. He said he had been involved in student government for many years and thought he could make a positive difference in Senate.
"I think the Senate is a great body, but it needs to take further steps to make sure we address the issues important to the students," he said. "The senate should represent rather than superficial representation."
Taxler, an Overland Park freshman, said he always had been interested in government.
"I'm pretty sure that's what I want to devote my life to, so this is perfect," he said. "I just want to be able to be responsive to any problems I hear about."
The new senators attended their first Senate meeting as senators Wednesday. During the week, they will be meeting with William Sanders, Student Executive Committee chairman, for a Senate orientation.
Sanders said the orientation was designed to help the senators learn more about the University governance system and become more familiar with Senate procedures.

The most recent addition to the foreign-owned businesses in the county is United Autographic Register Co. in Eudora, UARCO, which dedicated its building in August, is owned by Setsu of Japan. However, plant manager Jeffrey Morgan said the home country had little impact on daily operations of the company.
"It's an investment," he said of Settsu's ownership. "There have been no management changes.
Of the three foreign-owned companies, UARCO eventually will be the largest employer. Morgan said that the company, which prints direct mail, would have 120 employees by the end of the year and should have 165 by the end of the year. About a percent of the employees were from County and 20 percent were transferred from other UARCO offices
Their daily involvement is minimal."
The plant is running 24 hours a day and is open six to seven days each week, he said. Despite the round-the-clock operations, Morgan said, the plant was only at 30 percent of capacity, printing a half million pieces of mail each day.
"We expect to mail 150 million pieces of mail next year and 300 million the year after," he said.
The Eudora plant contains state of the art printing and sorting machinery, Morgan said. The company personalized solicitations. He said

"From my standpoint, I have to look at jobs," he said. "Foreign companies investing in the United States create a lot of new jobs."
Martin dismissed critics who say that the United States is for sale to foreign companies.
John Watson, director of international development for the Industrial Development Division of the Kansas Department of Commerce, echoed Martin's comments.
"We're not in the business of selling real estate," he said.

Chancellor Gene A. Budig responded to that report in a letter dated Oct. 10 to the Legislative Division of Post Audit
"These sales were not intentional, were small in number and were largely self-reported to Apple and members of the post audit staff." Budig wrote. "They were due to human error."
In addition, the audit reported that five of the 50 KU purchasers sampled were not full-time students, and, for these, were ineligible for the discount sales.
