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."

She also said that it was unfair to some groups such as Associated Students of Kansas could be allotted travel money but that the Black Student Union could not.
Robin McClellan, Student Senate executive committee chairman, said that ASK was a revenue code allocation and therefore was financed differently than Black Student Union.

are returned Oct. 14, Lewis Armstrong,
classified senator, said.
Debate on the motion included whether senators could accurately represent the 1,400 classified employees at the University and the State Department. The senators 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 Shanker 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,
has said he has not heard from the chancellor and
his staff.
The American Association of University Professors also has asked for meetings with the finalists for chancellor, and one senator suggested the groups work together.
