Tacha, Reece said, has always worked hard, even as a child.
"But I guess she played as hard as she worked."she said.
Edna Robison, Tacha's first grade teacher who taught elementary school for 46 years, said she was a leader of her classmates and was a leader of her classmates.
Reece said Tacha never needed to be told what to do. She had a knack for managing time.
"She was really outstanding," Robison said. "You could just tell that from the very beginning. The students didn't resent her leadership. They just followed her ideas."
"She'd always set her alarm and get up and practice piano before she went to school," she said.
Despite working hard, Reece said, her daughter knew how to separate her work from her family.
"She's a girl who's always been able to shut the door on work and go home." she said.
Reece, who is active in politics and travels around the country and world as part of her work, said she thought her busy life could have something to do with her daughter's.
Opinion
"I suppose if you're active, that sort of rubs off on the kids," she said.

on South Africa, said the Endowment Association would continue to make money as long as it could.
"They know that they can legally
engage in a german man." They're
sighingly chosen.
"If there is a revolution, they will lose whatever assets they have there."
Charlton knew of the opinion yesterday but had not read it. She said she had asked the attorney general whether the KU Endowment Association and the Kansas Public retirement System could legally divest.
"From what I understand," Charlton said, "divesting would not
be illegal. What it boils down to is the judgment of people investing other people's money.
"The law leaves it up to the Endowment Association's judgment. I hope before long their judgment tells them to invest somewhere else."
"The average student doesn't think about student government, unfortunately," Ambler said. "Many of them are very pleased with the University as they know it. They don't see becoming involved with those campus issues or the campus governing structure as critical to their purpose for being here.
Power

Arnold said that this year, a change machine was installed in Strong Hall after Student Senate petitioned the administration.
For example, Ambler said, Wescoe Hall was built after student government conducted a referendum. Students voted overwhelmingly to build a much-needed humanities building, and paid extra fees for 10 years to do it.
"You can say to them the same things you say to citizens out in the larger community. 'Who do you think got computer registration for you? Who do you think got the Robinson recreation center?' Who do you think got improvements in residence halls? Who do you think got this and that?' Those people who were interested enough to be involved."
Although Senate has financing and
Ambler said those things were not accomplished by Student Senate alone but were products of students voicing their concerns and then working with the administration.
appointing powers, it does not have the final word.
"Student Senate is not sovereign," said Alison Young, Student Senate executive secretary. "That is an obstacle in itself for the Senate because there are senators who would like to think that."
"Unfortunately, we are, quote-unquote,'only students.'"
Student representatives, however,

meeting.
Michael Foubert, graduate senator, said, "We have a view. We are listened to."
"We're given an opportunity to speak on virtually any decision that's made concerning the University," said Jeff Polack, student body vice president.
Senate appoints student representatives to nearly all University governing boards and to its own boards, such as such as the Transportation Board, which runs the campus bus service, KU On Wheels.
Boller, who is also the coordinator of the 'Transportation Board,' said those boards, which were composed of the great strengths of the Senate.
"One of the things the Student Senate really does for the students," he said, "is hands the ball over to
another group of students and says, "Run with it."
"We don't just set them free and never say anything, but we let someone else make the day-to-day decisions."
Easley said Senate legislation must pass the student body president and the vice chancellor for student affairs. The chancellor receives the legislation, but usually reads only very controversial pieces before he carries them to the Kansas Board of Regents, he said.
Ambler said he vetoed only one piece of Senate legislation in eight years. It was a resolution last spring about conduct of athletes.
Easley said Senate could have tremendous power, but it had never worked up to its full potential.
He said the administration addressed but did not act on all the Senate legislation, but said, "We have more wins than losses."
Dennis "Boog" Highberger, former student body vice president, disagreed.
He said student government had no real power, but because it had an illusion of power, students did not search for other ways to make changes.
"Student Senate could try to abolish itself either by legislation or referendum, but the administration would veto it," he said.
