A Fort Law student yesterday placed a Student Senate administrative
Staff Reporter
Carla Vogel, student body president, yesterday appointed Gil Gregory, a second-law law student, to replace Sandra Binyon, vichita senior, as administrative secretary.
Binyon is the third student-government official to resign in three weeks and the eight to resign since Vogel and Dennis are leaving. The body vice president, took office in March.
Binyon said yesterday that she had left her job after about five months because she wanted to prepare for the Law School Admissions Test, which she will take Sep. 29.
VOGEL SAID SHE had asked Gregory on Friday to take the job because he had applied for the job last spring, when Binyon was appointed. Gregory said he accepted the job after Vogel called him last night.
Gregory was a member of the Senate's
"I hope to be some sort of mediator between the factions that have come up in Student Senate," Gregory said. "It seems a little friction occurs from time to time."
temporary Ethics and Standards Committee this summer.
Binyon was one of three Student Senate administrative secretaries appointed by Vogel in April to replace Bonnie DeNoyelles, who had served as administrative secretary for service at Harvard, Lawrence and Pat McQueen, Lawrence senior, were the other replacements.
ROBERT WALKER, FORMER Student Senate Executive Committee chairman,
resigned Aug. 28 after five months in office.
Student of Northwest Missouri State University.
Chris Coffelt, a journalism senator, replaced Walker. Her appointment by Vogel and Highberger was approved by the Student Senate Wednesday.
Chris Edmonds, campus director of the Associated Students of Kansas, resigned the same week that Walker did after serving as ASK director since October. Edmonds also
cited personal reasons in his resignation letter to Vogel.
Scott Swenson, Topea junior and a former ASK campus director, replaced Edmonds.
Highberger said of the last three resigations. "It's just another stroke of incredible luck. It's hard to believe; none of them are connected."
BINYON IS THE KU coordinator for Task Force '84, the voter registration and education driver sponsored by ASK, a student loan holder. She said she would remain in that position.
“This is going to determine my path in the not-too-distant future.” Binyon said of the project. “It’s a big, complex thing.”
Higherberger said the duties of the administrative secretaries were not spelled out in the Senate rules. But he also said that the secretaries did the office's routine work, such as answering telephones, as well as helping other officers.
IN MARCH, FOUR student government officials resigned within a week of each other. They were Amy Bush, executive secretary; Mark Bossi, treasurer; Loren Gunzinger, student senator; and DeNoyelles, who took in position at DePaul University in Chicago.
David Friend, former StudEx chairman,
resigned in April.
Those resignations followed a request by the Black Student Union that Bossi, Bush, DeNoyelles and Friend resign because of their ties with past Student Senate administrations. The four had been appointed to their positions in November.
Higherberger yesterday attributed the resignations in part to a lack of communication in the Student Senate office. He also said those resignations had caused some disorder.
"It made things impossible," he said. "It was crazy. Carla and I were trying to run the office by ourselves."
But Binyon said yesterday, "it's settled down now, and relatively, it's much, much more calm. We were all kind of thrown into our jobs.
Slattery says big debts are voters' fault
By LAURETTA SCHULTZ
Staff Reporter
The federal government is giving voters exactly what they want, and the results are unharnessed deficit spending and climbing interest rates. Rep. ,im Slattery said last night.
Slattery, D-2nd District, spoke at the opening session of the Kansas Savings and Loan League Management Conference at the Lawrence Holidome, 200 W Turnippe Access Box in Washington, D.C., responded to the wishes of the voters as expressed to polsters
"The people say they want a strong defense, no cuts in Social Security benefits, no cuts in education spending and no cuts in Medicare." Slattery said. "But, ask them if they want their taxes increased to pay for all of this spending and the answer is a resounding 'No.'"
Slattery outlined five steps in addition to tax increases that he thought would be necessary to cut the deficit and bring interest rates under control.
First, a freeze should be put on all government spending for at least one year, he said.
"This is not a perfect solution, but it may be the only politically possible one," he said.
Next, Congress should be forced to follow a "pay as you go" budget after the freeze is lifted Under this program, Slattery said, Congress would be forced to either cut spending in some areas or raise taxes to finance any increase in government spending.
Slattery also called for the establishment of a trust fund to receive any new revenue raised through tax increases. This money would help pay off the national deficit.
As a fourth step, legislation should be passed to require the president to submit a balanced budget each fiscal year. Slattery said
Governor Carlin is required to submit a balanced budget every year," he said. "There is no such restriction made on the president."
Finally, Slattery proposed changes in government entitlement programs. These include mandatory spending programs such as Social Security and Medicare
"People who need more should get more," he said. "But people who don't shouldn't receive increases."
Slattery said the five steps were necessary moves
"We have to rise above this 'poll-watching' mentality in government," he said. "Somebody has to start talking common sense to the voters."

KU officials filed a civil suit against McMurray on Sept. 7, asking for more than $10,000 in restitution and also for punitive damages.
"He took a very unorganized warehouse and set us up a good inventory system," Ravi said. "He's been very hardworking and very honest with us."
THE UNIVERSITY DECIDED to file suit to make sure that Mearcy repaid the money he owed, said Mary Prewitt, assistant general counsel for the University. Mearcy has not paid back any of the money because he has been in prison.
