By CINDI CURRIE Staff Reporter
The Classified Senate voted yesterday to endorse candidates for the Kansas Legislature in the November election.
Before the motion was passed, the senators interest in presentations by eight of 10 Douglas members is limited.
Jan O'Neill, Classified Senate president, also announced her resignation, effective immediately. O'Neill said she resigned because of personal reasons.
Joseph T. Collins, classified senator, said a new president would be chosen in a few weeks.
The Senate voted to endorse candidates only if a candidate received 80 percent approval of the senators. A mail ballot will have to be answered by at least 27 of 30 senators for a candidate to be

with the economic problems facing classified employees and said that Solbach voted against a proposed state spending lid in the last legislative session.
"Your representatives have a responsibility to put a hold on economic problems," Snyder said. "State government must take the bull by the horns."
"I feel it is important to have a balanced budget with an adequate tax base to support the operation of government," Solbach said.
Willie Amison, Republican challenger to Democrat Betty Jo Charlton in the 48th District, said continued support of education was his most important concern.

Willie and Phil
with Margaret Kidder, Michael Orbanne, Riy Shan-
kewen, written and directed by Paul Meszuryz
wille and Phil is inspired by Francis Truffaut's classic love story, *Jules and Jim*. Two men, Willie, a Jewish intellectual (played by Michael O'Keane) and Phil, a streetwise Italian scraper (Ray Sharkey) meet at a Greenwich Village revival house and decide that because they both love *Jules and Jim* they can be friendships; a life follows an program that both pick up a friend in Washington and in Big Square (Kiddar) and spend the next fifteen years of their lives trying to live with and without each other.
Paul Mazursky makes the movies way Californians are accused of embracing fads—tasting everything but digesting nothing. Willie and Pell is a primary example of this slippery superficiality. It's as tedious and condescending as a smirk, but it sure does hit all the high points of the late Sixties and Seventies. Mazursky can't pass up any trend, philosophy or argument that may have made the cover of New York magazine.
Paul Mazurski has always had a propensity for eulogizing the ordinary, but never before has it seemed so defeating Willie. Phil and Jenette are simply not interesting enough to hold our attention; each lacks complexity, drive and passion. Their ambitions are out of a Werner Erhart training manual while their parents, who unfutunately play a major role in the movie, are out of a Norman Lear sit-com.
Those who enjoy Mazuruky movies say he is the poet of the middle class, raising the band to the level of art. Nonsense. What he does is bring a medium which has the potential for greatness down to a level of meditary that renders it for kikar Wing, Writing It, and discards what if they were nothing more meaningful than Bloomingdale's latest baubles.
Mazursky is a director without ideas and without visual style, leaving nothing for the audience but his characters and their storytelling. It's astonishing but best completes. It's impossible to figure out what
these three people see in each other, and the connection they make is so cursory we can't imagine why it holds together over the years. In the wake of this vacuum the actors are left struggling Michael Ontkean is an extremely charming actor, but by the time his Wille Prize off to India to find the meaning of life, we're ready to drown him in the Ganges. Sharkay is a fine character actor but he can't communicate to the magnetism needed in a lead. Oddly enough, neither can Margat Kidder, an intelligent, lovely actress who unfortunately lacks the mystery to make her "love object" seem visible.
The advertising for *Wille and Phil* ask us, "What is this thing called lower?" Cesa blanca has an answer, so do Notoriotus. The advertising for *Wille and Phil* does not even have a clue.
Ultimately what destroys this movie is Mazursky's lack of heat as a director. He's all surface smoothness; he has the moves, but he doesn't have the depth. He's fooled a lot of people with his movies because they all have an "au courant" veneer, but when we strip away the tinsel of this movie, we're left with nothing. By the end, be buddies Phil and Phil are back together, for both Wille and Jeanneette as their hostesses and herself a Russian and her sister (also as her new lover) she also making a documentary in New York City), we feel totally blotted, even though we have a sneaking suspicion we've missed the meal.

Debate on the motion included whether senators could accurately represent the 1,400 classified employees at the University and would actively support a candidate's campaign.
In other action, the Senate voted to write a third letter to the Kansas Board of Regents requesting that it place a member of the board staff on the chancellor search committee.
O'Neill said there had been no response from Bernard Franklin, Regents chairman, to a letter sent in July requesting the addition to the committee.
The search committee is made up of faculty, students and alumni and was chosen by the Board of Regents.
O'Neill said the third letter would say, "I would like the courtesy of a response."
She said that Acting Chancellor Del Shankler recommended the search committee allow classified members to meet with finalists if the Regents did not approve the change.
Classified representatives would submit their recommendations for chancellor to the search committee after meeting with the finalists, O'Neill said.
Jacob Kleinberg, search committee chairman,
he has not heard from the chancellor about the issue.
The American Association of University Professors also has asked for meetings with the finalists for chancellor, and one senator suggested the groups work together.
