Candidates trade barbs over issues
By JULIE COMINE Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
The campus evangelist yesterday lost his spot on the lawn outside Stauffer-Flint Hall to a stage full of student politicians.
A stage in history portrays
And the crowds still turned out to watch.
Candidates from the seven coalitions running in this week's Student Senate election haggled over campaign issues and exchanged last-minute barbs during the lunch hour. More than 150 people watched as candidates answered questions covered by the Sacred Order of Universal Love.
Students will elect a new student body president and vice president and new senators tomorrow and Thursday.
The debate began with three-minute speeches from each coalition. Audience members, many of whom sported coalition slogans, fired questions at the candidates.
ALTHOUGH CANDIDATES SPENT much of the debate respond to hecklers, several issues were discussed: reorganization of Senate structure, delays in passing Senate legislation because of bickering and internal conflicts, campus lighting and safety, and the preservation of free speech and human rights on campus.
Je Polack, vice president candidate for Frontier, paced the gray wooden stage set up outside Stauffer-Flint and said. "We know the students don't give a damn about how they learn." He asked students to care whether they can elect someone to get things accomplished, to react to their needs."
Chris Coffelt, presidential candidate for & Toto Too, defended her coalition's plan to elect senators from living groups instead of schools.
"The STUDENT BODY may not give a damn about Student Senate," she said, "but that's because they have no reason to. No one knows who represents them under the current system. Until you change that knowledge, we're talking about today will no whereby."
Peter Stonefield, a senate candidate running for a Nunemaker seat with the Momentum Coalition, questioned whether reorganizing the Senate would work.
"If 90 percent of the student body doesn't know who represents them now, with 67 senators, how can you expect them to know who represents them when there's 300
Tom Crisp, presidential candidate for Navy Jack, said he would work to give students more say in how the $24 activity fee campus master was allocated to campus organizations.
"LET'S FACE IT — funding is 90 percent of the Student Senate's business." Crisp said. "The current Senate has been giving special privileges to the groups they want to get funds. They're forcing you to pay for organizations you don't want to pay for."
David Spear, Beautiful Day Commission vice presidential candidate, read a prepared statement protecting what he called unequal discrimination for women, blacks and other minorities.
John McDermott, presidential candidate
for Reality, said students needed a "Student Senate that said students with the lifehack of the femininity."
"WE NEED A student body vice president and patient who have a heartfelt conviction for this University, who care about each student personally," said McDermott
Tom Rodenburg, vice president candidate for Fresh Vegetables, briefly outlined his plan.
Chris Admussen, Fresh Vegetables presidential candidate, sat near the edge of the stage and shook his head.
"This is a sham," Admussen said listening to the crowd boo and jeer at another candidate's remarks. "We come here to see what we will do politically we end up doing is playing petty politics."
After the debate, members of the & Tato Too coalition staged a mock Student Senate meeting to illustrate what they described as 'binding' nature of the Senate's current structure.
CARLA VOOGEL, STUDENT body president, sat on the grass clutching a copy of Roberts Rules of Order Cardboard signs emblazoned with student ID numbers hung
Dennis "Roog" Higherberg, student body vice president and senator No. 576621, pounded a gavel to call the mock meeting to order. But as Higherberg spoke, the actors in the audience playing student senators covered their ears and shouted objection
from the necks of about a dozen & Toto Too members
One senator called out, "I say we table that motion until hell freezes over."
Highberger paused for a moment then asked Vagel. Wait. Do we have a definition?
Vogel and Highberger are running for Senate on the & Tato Too ticket.
Only a handful of the spectators who watched the debate stayed for & Toto Too's parody of Senate procedures. However, one week's election was not amused by the show
"I think this is a gross misrepresentation of the Senate," said Charles Lawhorn, vice presidential candidate for Momentum. "They're seeking to convince people that this structure of the Senate is always like. It's not the structure it is, some of the people who slide things."
KU conference to feature two Nicaraguan officials
Bv DAN HOWELL
A Dec. 1 conference on Central America will have a balanced outlook despite the absence of State Department officials, an official of the Center of Latin American Studies said yesterday.
Staff Reporter
The two highest-ranking U.S. officials for Central America turned down invitations to the conference because of schedule problems, and quedas, administrative assistant of the center.
One speaker will be Mariano Fiallo, president of Nicaragua's Supreme Election Commission.
elections in Nicaragua. Fiallos will fill the Rose Morgan Professorship in political science next semester at the University of Kansas.
Two Nicaraguan officials still plan to speak.
"It will be clearly not the same as Fiallos or Ramirez," she said.
Arguuedas said such speakers as Lester Langley of the University of Georgia and Howard Wiarda of the University of Massa Gunawan did not simply echo the Nicaraguan positions.
Sergio Ramirez, a member of the ruling Sandinista council in Nicaragua, who won the vice presidency on Nov. 4, also will speak
Arguedas said several academic speakers had a viewpoint that would balance that of him.
But, she said, the difference is not to be considered a matter of East-West ideology
"The issue is degree of sympathy for the Sandmistas." she said.
Charles Stansister, the center's director and professor of history, had invited Langhorne Motley, assistant secretary of state for Latin American affairs, or Harry Shlaudeman, special envoy for Central America to speak at the conference.
Argueda said the State Department indicated that both Molley and Shlaudeman were busy with negotiations with Nicaragua and were following events there.
Bigger budget for Med Center recommended
Stansifer was not available for comment
vesterday afternoon.
The plan was for either Motley or Slaudeman to come and open the conference on the evening of Nov. 30 Assuming that the conference is planned for that evening, Arguedas said.

The state budget office recommended about a 2.5 percent budget increase from this fiscal year for the College of Health Sciences, which授权的 the University of Kansas Medical Center.
David Dallam, principle budget analyst for the state, said yesterday. "The budget has improvements that last year the recommended budget did not have."
The recommended total budget is $169.7 million, up from this year's budget of $165.5 million.
Similar budget recommendations for the Lawrence campus were received from the state budget.
Keith Nitcher, University director of business affairs, said that the University had received the Med Center recommendations not but that he could not comment on them.
"We ARE STILL in the process of analyzing both budgets and we won't be in any position to discuss them for a few days." Nitcher said.
The second budget, level B. accounts for increased costs and calls for sufficient money to maintain the Med Center's present operation.
THE TOTAL BUDGET includes the operating budget and capital improvements. Capital improvement figures are not included in the recommended budget.
The third budget, level C, is the largest budget proposed by the Med Center. Financing at this level would improve programs and provide for new programs.
Dallam said the budget recommended by the state budget office fell between the B
The operating budget includes money for the general operation of the Med Center, educational programs, libraries, faculty salaries and computers. The recommended operating budget is $165.2 million, up from this year's $158.4 million operating budget.
Within the operating budget is the restricted use fund, which includes money for sponsored research and construction contracts.
In the recommended operating budget, the Med Center would receive $188,664 to begin a graduated salary scale for residents. Residents are medical students who have finished classes and are practicing medicine under the direction of physicians at the Med Center.
THE RECOMMENDED BUDGET also would give the Med Center $3,840 to begin upgrading salaries of the allied health faculty. Allied health includes all medical positions in the hospital except for physicians and nurses.
"This has been a high priority for the Med Center," Dallam said. "To keep the good faculty it has, the Med Center wanted to base the salary for faculty in allied health."
Under the recommended budget, about $156,000 was suggested for the expansion of the neo-ntal intensive care unit. The Med Center would receive $499,820 for a nuclear magnetic resonance machine that diagnoses illnesses without using X-rays. The money also provides for six staff positions to operate the machine.
THE MED CENTER also would receive $28,343 to finance a kidney stone lithotriptor, a machine that can dissolve kidney stones inside the body without an operation. Dallam said that the Med Center eventually would receive about $200,000 for the machine but that it was still in the process of negotiating the purchase.
The Med Center follows the same budget schedule that KU does, Dallam said. But the requests and recommendations for the Med Center have increased in budget requests and recommendations for KU
The recommendations now will go to Gov John Carlin. He then will submit his recommendations.
