Teh Student Senate Academic Affairs Committee last night recommended to the senate that KU join the Associated Students University, the proposed state-wide student university bdjykvrgk
The recommendation was made despite the objections of Mert Buckley, Wichita Falls Mayor and Republican candidate.
The committee voted to adopt ASK's constitution but recommended that no funds be given to the organization this year. The committee presented to the senate at their Sept. 19 meeting.
ASK is an organization comprised of the six state supported four-year colleges in Arkansas that offer bachelor's and lobbying the Kansas Legislature, Board of Regents and courts to promote student learning.
RON HEIN, a Washburn law student and director of the program, said during the meeting that the issues could range from seeking financial support for higher education to social issues that concerned students.
The committee agreed that it favored using ASK to seek support for higher education in the state, but that it would wily away from using the organization to lobby
on controversial social issues such as abortion.
"I don't think any one organization could represent all the divergent views of 70,000 students," Richard Paxson, Baxter Springs junior, said.
PAXSON AND BUCKLEY both spoke against the recommendation, saying that a singular student opinion couldn't be made. He also criticized the alienation of legislators and state officials and that KU could not afford memorial services for those who cost the senate about $3,000 the first year.
"I don't think seven schools can be represented by this," Buckley said. "KU might vote in favor of funding for higher education. State might want more consumer rights."
"I DON'T THINK the legislative body or the organization's board of directors would establish a policy that would hurt the organization." Hein said.
Hein said state-wide student opinion would be gathered by an opinion poll and that a legislative body similar to KU's would be used to guide the guidelines based on the results for the poll.

Hein also said that he had received favorable responses about the proposal from Lt. Goy, Dave Owen and Henry Bubb,
a member of the Kansas Board of Regents. Buckley said that he had spoken to legislators who didn't favor the proposal and tried to convince him that he agreed with Buckley's stand.
Hein said he wanted to hire a full-time professional lobbyist to represent ASK, arguing that a professional could develop more credibility and friendship with
"I think students who do the research on their own time and go to Topeka on their own time will be more credible and effective," Buckley said.
BUCKLEY SAID he preferred volunteer jobbists like the Concerned Students For
Buckley said that he would also like to see a student member on the Board of Regents and that this would be a better way of making such a decision-making that concerned higher education.
Hein said that Washburn had already ratified the constitution and that the Kansas State College at Pittsburgh was presently taking action on it.
he said that until now, KU was the "lone dog" of the six state schools by not supplying him.
Petition Would Omit Vote Of Student Body President
A petition that would eliminate the student body president's vote in the Student Senate was submitted yesterday to the Student Senate Executive Committee by Ed Rolfs, Junction City sophomore and Pearson College senator.
By JEFFREY STINSON Kansan Staff Reporter
Rolfs said he submitted his petition in conjunction with one recently presented by Mert Buckley, Wichita senior and student body president. Buckley's petition, if passed, would give the president veto power over senate legislation.
Rolfs said that he didn't object to Buckley's petition and that he only wanted to see a separation of the legislative and executive branches of the senate.
"I eventually would like to see it get to the point where the student body president didn't come to meet meetings," he said. "I remember my parents came and then speak in favor of it on the floor."
Roofs' petition also says that the student body; vice president should have a vote in their committee.
"If the student body president has the power of veto he shouldn't have a senate vote, simply on the principle of parliamentary law," Rolfs said. "It is no longer parliamentary law that no member of an organization may have more than one vote."
"The vice president is a member of the executive branch, who is supposed to execute senate legislation, and who should have a vote only as a tie breaker."
"I think it is a good idea and I support it as long as the president has the power of veto," he said.
The Consumer Protection Association will meet at 7 p.m., tonight in Room 4023 Wescow Hall, Bill Ward of the Consumer Protection Division of the Kansas Attorney General's office to discuss civil law laws in Kansas. Kansas smallClaims attorney and their uses also will be discussed.
Buckley said he favored Rolfs' petition only if his petition also passed.
He said that he and Rolfs had agreed that the veto petition failed Rolfs' petition with his wife.

Coffee For a Button? It's a Deal
This match, held in Inglewood, Calif., gave Ail revenge for the broken jaw he received from Norton March 31 and kept his crown. He weighed heavy champion George Foreman.
Button, button, who's got the button? Goldie Nets and Delores Miller have it. For the past seven years the two Universities—campaign buttons, joke buttons, photo buttons, and some that defy classification.
Neis, who works at the concession booth in the basement of Strong Hall, and Miller, operator of the Murphy Hall snack bar, collect his collections on the walls of their work areas.
Muhammad Ali, apparently realizing he was in danger of suffering what could have been a career-ending loss, came out firing with both hands to the head at the start of the final round and overwhelmed Ken Norton.
The women began their hobby in 1968 when both worked in the Strong Hall concerts.

Foreman before the fight said he planned to defend his title against Jerry Quarry in November and former champion Joe Frazier in December.
"You know how students are sometimes down and out," said Miller. "One boy came by and wanted coffee but didn't have a cent. We said, 'Well, by golly, we'll trade you a cup of coffee for that button you're wearing.'"

Routes being considered by the committee aren't separate bicycle paths but lines of traffic marked for bicycle traffic only.

The traffic and safety committee invited the club to attend yesterday's meeting to discuss bicycle traffic and safety problems in Lawrence.
The safety of cyclists would be increased if bicycle traffic was channeled, said Steven Keller, Lawrence graduate student and club chairman in charge of tours.
Completion of the routes before the winter months would be almost impossible, said Dr. Tang.
It was suggested that lanes be marked for bicycle traffic from major apartment complexes to the campus and from the campus to the area, where bicycle traffic is heaviest.
Location of the routes would depend on where bicycle traffic was heaviest, Hoover
When Miller was transferred to Murphy Hall, part of the collection went with her. Most of the approximately 300 buttons in the collection have been given to Neis and Muller, by student.
The deal was made and the collection was born.
"We can talk just about anybody out of a button if we try." Neis said.
The button exhibitions have become such a campus fixture that former KU students occasionally mail odd or rare buttons back to the women.
"We're sort of like Ann Landers in a way," said Miller.
"You know how somebody will write in to Ann and say, 'I bet you won't print this
The buttons are a cross section of the medium: candidates' likenesses and slogans ("like like, "Nixon's the One," a boy who doesn't wear pants) and slogans and some KU sports buttons.
letter. We, well, we get people who say, 'I bet you won't put this button up.' We feel them.
Miller said she hoped the buttons would provide a sentimental attraction for them.
"I like to think that some of the oldtimers, our regular customers, you know, will think of KU whenever they see a button," she said.
"I don't have a favorite, really," said Nees. "I like them all."
