Legislator recalls days as KU student leader
Staff Reporter

Frustration still grates in State Rep. Ed Rolfs' voice when he talks about his tenure as KU student body president three years ago.
But his new job in the Kansas House as a Republican state representative from Junction City has given him a new perk. He's a member and some of the problems that came with it.
"Being student body president is probably the most frustrating job there is," Rofs said recently, leaning back in a chair in his state capitol office.
He said the University administration held most of the power to formulate regulations affecting students and most of the power to put those regulations into ef-
"ITS NEXT to impossible to get things done as a student body president," he said.
someongs Rofa tied to do are still unfinished. He had said during his campaign four years ago that his top priority was to ensure that students a chance to evaluate their teachers.

"The institution that is able to show it has utilized tax money to the maximum will get the greater tax of state funding," he said.

"But there will always be tension because of the question of priorities," he said. "Should it be run for students, for alumni or to turn out professional athletes?"
Another long-standing issue is computerized pre-enrolment, Enrols said.
from the Legislature this year to help the KU women's athletic program reach the KU women's athletic program reach the same level as the men's program in comparison.
"I don't believe the state should fund men or women's athletics," he said.
Ak ask about the Navy's AEDO Program. If you can handle an airfield at sea, you can handle an airfield anywhere.
Rolfs said the obstacles to initiating pre-enrollment "weren't insurmountable."

However, Rofs said, they would not find support from him.
"Pre-enrolment would mean fewer hassles for students and the administration would be better able to allocate resources if they know which classes were in demand."

IT'S NOT JUST A JOB,
IT'S AN ADVENTURE.
"But we were talking about it when I was a freshman eight years ago," he said.
The KU Student Senate ended funding of women's athletics last year, and women athletes ran a relay to the Capitol in Topela to call attention to their need for state

Rolfs said his interest in government did not begin with his experience at KU and might not end with his first term in the Legislature.
"I started to get interested in politics during his last election campaign in 1982. He was one of the few blacks to participate."
He became interested in politics because his grandfather, former Gov. Frank Coulson.
