The use of Momentum as a coalition name may have sparked an early conflict in this year's Student Senate election.
Russ Plaeck, campaign manager for last year's Momentum Coalition, said this week that he objected to the use of the name in this year's election by the coalition of Mark Gaird, Sump and Charles Lawhorn, candidates to student body president and vice president.
Placek said he didn't want the name to be affiliated with new people or new platforms.
BU*KE KEVIN *WALKEK. Momentum's
buff is the semester, said semester,
sa he did not object to Sumpa's
job.
"Gilligan had my verbal permission to use it since last spring." Walker said.
Sump said, "Kevin wouldn't allow me to
use that name if he did not believe that I represented the ideas of Momentum."
Sump, a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, and Lawhorn, an off-campus senator, ran for Senate seats last year as part of Momentum Coalition.
Placeck said he did not plan to bring charges about the coalition name against Sump to the University Judicial Board or the Student Senate Elections Committee.
"The only thing that is important is that students know that Mark Sump does not represent the Momentum that has run the past two years." Ptacek said.
"IF THERE IS one consolation," he said, "it's that Charles Lawhorn, who does represent some of the people who ran with Momentum last year, is part of the coalition
But Sump said Momentum Coalition had the same ideas as it had for the past two years, and only the names of the people running had changed.
"It stands for change, the real ideal of student government, that's what Momentum stands for, and that's what I stand for." Sumn said.
This is the third consecutive year that candidates for Senate elections have run under "Momentum."
THE FIRST TIME was two years ago when Walker and David Teopteoren ran as president and vice president but lost the election to Lisa Ashner and Jim Cramer.
Last year Walker and Mark McKee ran on
Momentum for president and vice president.
Auckee said that the Momentum Coalition was registered in Student Organizations and Activities but that the name did not have a copyright.
According to the Student Organizations and Activities office, the coalition has been registered since July 5.
Placeck said that last spring Walker had offered him the name to use in this year's election because he was considering running for president. But he said he turned down the offer because of the negative connotations associated with Placeck. Placeck has decided not to run for president.
Momentum Coalition representatives last year filed an appeal objecting to procedures used in the fall student body presidential and vice president election. Chancellor Gene A. Budig eventually invalidated the election and ordered another election in the spring. No Momentum candidates ran in the second election.
*Kevin Walker's motivation is for Momentum's name to become a legacy or an icon.*
2nd District candidates trade words
By SUZANNE BROWN Staff Reporter
Jim Van Slyke, Republican candidate for the 2nd Congressional District, yesterday continued his attack on what he called the inconsistent voting record of his Rep. Jim Slattery, in a debate sponsored by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
Slattery, a Topena Democrat, replied to Van Slyke's accusations by criticizing him for not understanding the legislative process and distorting the congressman's record.
About 80 people attended the breakfast forum at The Eldridge House Restaurant & Club, 101 W. Seventh St. The candidates answered questions and answered audience questions.
Jim Van Slyke, Republican candidate for the 2nd Congressional District, speaks at an early morning debate before the Democratic incumbent, listens.
VAN SLYKE. A 27-year-old Topeka businessman, said that Slattery had switched his vote on several issues, including the B-1 bomber and an anticrime bill. Van Slyke also said Slattery had voted for a nuclear freeze but approved the deployment of U.S. cruise and Pershing missiles in Western Europe.
Slattery said such charges ignored the changes often made in House and Senate bills. These changes might make a difference, but they didn't and then another on proposed legislation.
Slattery denied the charge.
Van Slyke also accused Slattery of voting for higher government spending than that proposed by President Reagan, despite Slattery's supposed concern about the mounting federal budget deficit.
"I'M NOT GOING to let anyone stand up here and say I'm doing one thing in Kansas and doing another thing in Washington," he said, "especially when it comes to an issue like the deficit, which I
am personally and deeply committed to."
Slattery said he never had voted to appropriate more money than Reagan had agreed. He said he did not have military budgets that he knew would later be dressed in congressional committees.
Most of yesterday's forum focused on the federal deficit and ways to reduce it. Van Slyke supports the president's call for
a constitutional amendment to balance the budget.
Slattery said that such an amendment produced nothing that would require the government to reduce spending. Instead, he argued, the government spending at its present level.
NEXT, SLATTERY SAID, Congress should pass legislation to require the
president to submit a balanced budget each year.
Van Slyke said this only switched the blame for deficts from Congress to the state.
Both candidates offered their ideas for a strong economy. Van Slyke said the work begun by Reagan was the answer to continued prosperity.
Study indicates needs of city's handicapped
By CHRIS BARBER

A recent study of accessibility to public buildings will improve Lawrence's already advanced sensitivity to the needs of the handicapped, city officials said yesterday.
A task force comprising city officials and handicapped citizens this week completed an accessibility study in response to changes in the Federal Office of Revenue Sharing.
The purpose of the study was to spot problems of accessibility for the handicapped in buildings used by city programs that receive revenue sharing money.

THE STUDY FOUND problems in 25 Lawrence buildings, but these were gener-
The study typified Lawrence's progressive attitude toward improving facilities for the elderly.
"There really aren't any big problem areas," said Shrirley Wenger, a task force member and chairman of the Lawrence office on the Needs of Persons Having Disabilities.
"Lawrence has always been open to new ways and ideas." Wenger said yesterday. "We're much in advance of other cities."
she also said she made the agencies that receive revenue sharing aware of the needs of the handicapped," she said.
"I also said the study was done well.
The new federal regulations require all cities that receive more than $25,000 in
revenue sharing money to complete an accessibility study. Revenue sharing money is distributed by the federal government to states and cities for use in specified areas.
HANNES ZACHARIAS, CITY management analyst and task force member, said Lawrence received about $600,000 in revenue sharing months annually.
"The real emphasis of the report is accessibility of public programs." Zacharias said.
Accessibility can be either structural or nonstructural, he said. Structural accessibility refers to such things as curb cuts, while accessibility refers to amenities such as sampling supers for the deal.
Louis Lawrence Arts Center and City Hall are examples of city buildings that have been designed by the firm.
cause they receive revenue sharing money, he said.
City governments, which were to have completed the study by Wednesday, could lose revenue sharing money by missing the deadline, Zacharias said.
THE CITY ALSO must have established by the deadline a grievance procedure for citizens with complaints about accessibility. But Zacharias said identifying the problem was difficult.
jens was not the one that came first. "The next step," he said, "is now that we know the problems, how do we handle them?"
The task force evaluated all infractions of federal accessibility codes. Programs found to have serious infractions will be given time to correct them.
