Student Senate to consider GLSOK petition once again
By Nicolette Kondratieff Of the Kansan staff
A controversial petition calling for a student vote on financing of Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas will be the first matter the Student Senate Elections Committee will consider committee chairman said last week.
"They want to get it over with," said David Day, the chairman.
The petition, signed by about 2,600 students, was circulated in spring 1983.
The Student Senate Elections Committee last fall ruled against the petition twice. The first time, the committee decided that the full Senate would vote on it. But the Student Senate Executive Committee sent the petition back to the Elections Committee.
StudEx is the executive committee of the Senate and is made up of Senate officers and committee chairmen. Legislation that goes before the Senate must at some point go through StudEx.
In January, the University Judicial Board recommended that the Elections Committee review its rejection and seek advice from the University's legal counsel.
The Elections Committee, which has the power to consider petitions and allocations, is not obligated to act on the judicial board's advice, said Jeff Polack, student body vice president.
"The judiciary opinion is nonbinding, it's only advisory," Polack said.
The petition remains an issue for the committee, but the participants and circumstances have changed.
David Hardy, a GLSOK officer,
said, "I think they've beaten it to
death. I think it's a dead issue."
Steve Imber, author of the petition, graduated after the summer session and is not enrolled this semester. Several others who signed the petition no longer are KU students.
In addition, most of the present Elections Committee members were not on the committee last fall.
Imber said last week that although he hoped the petition would eventually pass, he had no further ties with KU and wanted nothing to do with the petition.
The signatures on the petition are still valid as long as the people were KU students when they signed the petition, Day said.
Michael Foubert, a member of Student Senate Executive Committee, said the reason the petition was not dealt with last spring was because the Elections Committee did not have the Judiciary Board information from the former Elections Committee chairman until the end of the spring semester.
"I did everything required in the Senate rules and regulations," Imber said.
Completely New Atmosphere
GLSOK received $720 for the 1985-86 academic year to pay for advertising, rent rent and telephone services, Polack said.
Imber said he was told the petition was thrown out because the wording was unclear and the people who signed it were misled. But imber said he thought that KU students who signed the petition were acting in good faith.
