Student senators reinstated

Three of 28 student senators suspended last week for too many absences were remanded yesterday by the Student Senate Executive committee.
The reinstated senators are LaDale George, Black Pan Hellenic senator; Philip Thornton, Fine Arts Council; Beverly Vairney, Pan Hellenic senator.
StudEx said two of the senators should be reinstated because Senate was responsible for mix-ups leading to their absences. The third senator was reinstated because the two other senators were reinstated.
Michael Foubert, member of the University Senate Executive Committee, said he had the general feeling that anyone who appealed their suspension would be reinstated.
"IF WE BELIEVE in attendance.
in our meetings and in what we are doing, then we need to look at the reasons these people are giving us for their absences," he said.
Senate rules state that senators can have only two unexcused absences from Senate meetings or four absences of any kind.
George run for a Liberal Arts and Sciences seat last week and lost. Thornton and Varney did not run in the election.
The three senators were the only ones who appealed their suspensions. The other 25 senators who were suspended last week have until today to submit appeals to Chris Coffelt, chairman of StudEx.
George was reinstated because he said he neither had been notified of Senate meetings nor had received Senate agendas.
JEFF POLACK, NEWLY elected student body vice president, said, "If he doesn't receive notification of the meeting, he can't be held responsible
for being there. We have to assume the responsibility for not notifying him."
Foubert said George should have informed the Senate office that he was not receiving notices of Senate meetings.
Thornton said he had missed two Senate meetings because he had attended a Vienna Boys Choir concert and a friend's birthday party.
Thornton asked Dennis "Boog" Highberger, then student body vice president, whether he should attend the meeting or go to the concert. Highberger said the meeting would be long, and Thornton could probably go to the concert and still attend most of the meeting.
RUSS PTACEK, CO-CHAIRMAN of the Minority Affairs Committee, said, "I think he broke the rules and did not go to Boog for permission."

Federal cuts threaten job centers
By United Press International
TOPEKA — A change in a federal formula for distribution of Job Service money is forcing Kansas to look for ways to cut back its program, possibly by closing a dozen Job Service Centers, one official said yesterday.
Thirty-seven Kansas centers now serve to match unemployed workers with employers. Also, people receiving unemployment benefits register at Job Service centers and know they are seeking employment.
Secretary Larry Wolgast of the Kansas Department of Human
Resources returned yesterday Job Service funds returned to Kansas are dwimbling for the second year under a federal formula that allows companies to be utilized. A similar reduction is expected in the coming fiscal year.
Job Service Director Pat Pritchard said this year's Job Service allotment of nearly $6.7 million is a reduction of about 6 percent from the previous year's $7.1 million. The latest budget contains a 5 percent reduction to $6.4 million. Another 5 percent cut is expected for the following year's budget, Pritchard said.
However, the chairman of the state Job Service Employers Committee, Ron Harding of Goodland, yesterday said he has received word the state has a list of 12 specific offices in western Kansas that are to be closed.
Wolgast said closing some Job Service offices is one of several cost-cutting options available to his agency. He said the options are being examined now with decisions to be made by the first of the year.
Harding said offices on the list are at Hesston, Hugoton, Hutchinson Community College, Lyons Medicine Lodge, Norton, Oakley, Oberlin, Phillipsburg, Pratt, Scott City, Smith Center.
Harding, who also is manager of the Goodland Chamber of Commerce, said among others that might face closure if funds get even tighter are offices in Abilene, Goodland, Kansas City and Ulysses.
Both Wolgast and Pritchard said there is no list of Job Service offices slated for closure.
Group to challenge Wolf Creek rates
By United Press International
WICHITA — A consumer group opposed to higher electric rates stemming from the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant announced yesterday it would intervene in rate increase hearings before the Kansas Corporation Commission.
Mary Abbott-Mills, a member of the steering committee for the Wichita-based Electric Shock Coalition, said the group has begun a campaign to raise $50,000 to help fight the $145 million rate hike request filed by Kansas Gas & Electric Co. two weeks ago.
"We don't feel that they should have any rate increase." Abbott-
Mills said at a news conference. "This plant is not needed and it is all extra electricity that won't be needed until the 1990s."
She said KGGE stockholders have had plenty of opportunity to stop construction of the $2.9 billion plant near Burlington.
Wolf Creek is expected to begin commercial operation next spring.

Several hundred students who do not yet have dean's stamps will have the chance to enroll Dec. 10, said J. Andrew Cox, an associate professor in College Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Dean's stamps were issued by most schools through this past
