Hiker Mike Harper listed four courses passed by the 1978-79 Student Senate as significant improvements for the University of Kansas in a review of his term as student body leader.
Harper said in his end-of-the-year report, released yesterday, that the Recreation Services, Legal Services, KU on Wheels and Uber were among the most important passions this year.
"The major accomplishments of this Senate have been based on a philosophy of serving as many students as possible with Senate resources." he said in his report.
In the report, Harper listed nine bills, four resolutions and one petition as important actions that the Senate had taken. He also outlined the legislation that addresses the Senate staff.
THE FIRST BIG program the 1978-79 Senate passed. Happer said, the bill will to add $23,849.50 to the Recreational Services to light eight tennis courts at Robinson Gymnasium and to improve the lots at 23rd and Iowa streets for intramurals.
He said the playing fields had needed to be resurfaced and readded to make them
He said lighting the tennis courts alleviated the problem of overcrowded court conditions, which had caused a problem with the courts' availability.

The fields were leveled, a tougher grass was put in and a new underground sprinkler system was installed. A new parking lot also was put in on the north side of the fields.

Harper said overcrowding on the buses caused the Senate to pass a bill providing for the addition of three buses to the KU on Wheels program.
"This provided two additional buses per hour to the Daisy Hill area and provided a new route to serve students living in apartment complexes at Woodcreek and in the north Lawrence area," Harper said in his report.
"EVERY FINANCIALLY possible improvement was made in the system this
Harper said, however, that he thought the bus system needed more improvements and that they should be considered by the 1979-1980 Senate.
"This legislation was not intended to be a cure-all for the system's problems," he said in the report. "It was meant to provide the beginnings of aearly program expansion."
Also included in Senate transportation acts were a bill creating a Transportation
Board and a bill providing bus service for handicapped students.
THE FOURTH Senate action Harper cited was entry into the Associated Students of Kansas, a student lobbying group. Harper and Hannes Zacharias, ASK executive director, agreed to give RU a one-year trial on 25 cents per student with the membership of 25 cents a student.
Harper said the University should remain in contact with the Legislature because Kansas laws had a great effect on KU students.
Harper also offered some advice to the incoming Senate officers on what issues were important. These included improving the permanent bussing system and permitting bus service for handicapped students; reviewing the need for the culture committee; and becoming acquainted with the Kansas Board of Regents, Lawrenn DeVaughan and the University judicial system.
