Senate misses final chance for action
By a Kansan reporter
Eight bills died because the Student Senate missed its last chance to take action last night.
Only 19 senators came to the meeting in time for the roll call, and the Senate could not do business without a quorum of 23 of the 46 senators.
Senate's final meeting before the elections, which are today and tomorrow, was supposed to have been Nov. 13. The Senate had nearly 20 pieces of legislation to wade through that night, so senators circulated a petition asking for another
meeting to handle the nine remaining bills.
Twenty-six senators signed the petition which required 25 signatures to be valid.
Tony Arnold, chairman of the Student Senate Executive Committee and author of three of the bills that were killed, said many of the senators had class conflicts and did not attend. Others, he said, had class conflicts but attended the meeting anyway.
The bills that died included a proposal that would have given the KU students more control over the KU branch of Associated Students of
Kansas, an attendance policy governing student members of University Council, conduct and attendance guidelines for Senate standing committee chairmen and a bill that required weekly Senate meetings.
Arnold said he was disappointed that several of those who signed the petition to call another meeting did not attend the meeting. The date of the meeting was determined after the petition was completed.
Arnold said, "We had important legislation which involved student interests and people didn't take their responsibility as senators seriously enough to come.
The next meeting will be a joint meeting of the old Senate and the newly elected Senate on Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union. No legislation can be considered at this meeting.
Missing former senator wanted for grand theft
OLATHE — While police investigators said yesterday that former state Sen. Paul Hess may have taken his three young sons to Jordan, a newspaper reported that Hess is wanted in Johnson County for grand theft.
Unidentified sources told the Olathe Daily News that warrants issued by Johnson County District Attorney Dennis Moore yesterday were for charges of grand theft alleging Hess converted proceeds from settlements or damage awards in civil suits for his own use.
Moore also said that Hess might not be able to be extradited from Jordan to the United States.
"It is my understanding that Jordan is not a signatory to the extradition treaty, but we are checking that out," Moore said.

He confirmed that he talked with Hess' estranged wife, Anne Oliver Hess, for an hour Monday.
"What I can say is that I talked for an hour to Anne Oliver Hess yesterday and she provided information on Paul that makes me want to talk with him," Moore said.
Our three-year and two-year scholarships won't make college easier.
Just easier to pay for.
Even if you didn't start college on a scholarship, you could finish on one. Army ROTC Scholarships pay for full tuition and allowances for educational fees and textbooks. Along with up to $1,000 a year, get all the facts. BE ALL YOU CAN BE
