Lack of quorum delays vote on petition to shrink Senate
By DIANE SWANSON
By DIANE SWANSON Staff Reporter
The Student Senate spent an hour and a half last night debating a petition to cut the size of the Senate in half in hopes of creating a more efficient votine assembly.
September, 1980
When it came time for a vote, however, the petition went unconsidered because a roll call showed that the Senate lacked the quorum needed to do official business.
After the roll call, Matt Davis, student body vice president, said that the lack of a quorum was "exactly why the Senate needs to reduce its size."

The petition also would eliminate Senate seats representing living groups.
This section came under attack, and an amendment calling for five housing representatives was added to the petition. The amendment gave Senate representation to the All Scholarship Hall Council, the Association of University Residence Halls, the Interfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Association and off-campus housing.
The amendment, proposed by Bill Venable,
proposed in 1986, amended the number of opposed cases from 60 to 68.
In explaining why the seats had been omitted, Davis said living groups would be represented by people in the same community.

Gidon Kremer
MANN MUSIC CENTER, PHILA
A few years ago, one of the worst disasters imaginable belfell the Latvian born violinist Gidon Kremer. a great musician (Herbert von Karan) declared publicly that Kremer was the world's greatest violist. As if it weren't bad enough being a musician (1970), Kremer had to put up with the pressure of living up to that remark.
His appearance with the Philadelphi orchestra in its outdoor summer series was a case in point. Long hours on stage, he dressed in a white overcoat, the tall, lean 35-year-old Kremer looked more like one of the street musicians who pathlandhe in the center city district of Philadelphia. Moreover, he took a work that auditions, and summer audiences in particular, seldom listen to carefully — they always turn to him and made everyone sit up and take notice. Though most music lovers know this well-worn concerto by heart, Kremer refused to take a single moment to appreciate a painstakingly shaped, even accent observed, every sudden contrast in speed and dynamics emphasized, even exaggerated, revealing the rhapsody.
A s strange choice for an encore: a Grave and Toccata by one Bazkauskas, a contemporary Lithuanian. The

younger members of the audience are it up. The older ones wondered what was taking Kremer so long to return.

A night with Clifton Chenier and his band turned out to be the most fun I've ever had fully closed and an public Four straight hours the band performed himself — recently out of the hospital from serious medical business — in charge for the latter three. Chenier proclaimed himself. King of the Academy, a velvet crown and proved by playing the rhythm and blues devil out of his instrument. He was flanked by a band of ten members soundly well in a Freddie King inspired style, plus a more stone color guitarist, two saxophonists, a vigorous drummer, a bass man and, of course, a metal washboard.
Zydeco, Chenier's musical style, sounds initially like rhythm and blues, mostly New Orleans with a pinch of primitive Chicago. Some of the lyrics are sometimes loose, sometimes they lay in one foghorn like riff through an entire song. But the real musical underlay is Cajun, a musical cross from Louisiana driven from Nova Scotia by the British and Africans brought to rural Louisiana by slavery. Which explains both Zydeco's compelling rhythmic patterns and the fact that several of the numbers are songs in Cajun French.

"Tears for Johannesburg" presages Roach's later work with percussion ensembles. Odd time signatures are overused, but the band's music has摇 Ram Mandala's hand drums and the African Olatunju's congas. Roach's compositions go right to the heart of jazzy African heritage; this music is contemporary now as it was 20 years ago.

A move was made to table the petition, but it was veted. A motion then was made to call for a vote, after which John Machietti, graduate student senator, called for a ourrum.
Because there was no quorum, the meeting was dismissed and the petition now must be resubmitted to the Student Senate executive committee.
After the Senate makes a decision, the petition be submitted to the University Council, which will review it.
If acted on soon, the petition will take effect before student body presidential, vice presidential and senatorial elections in November.
Because Senate was dismissed, two bills listed on the agenda failed to reach the floor.
One would increase Senate committee powers and the other would improve inventory control.
Under the inventory control bill, the replacement cost of Senate-funded capital equipment that is damaged, destroyed, lost or stolen through the negligence or fault of an organization will be charged to that organization.
The Senate also heard a report from Bob Bingamman, executive director of Associated Students of Kansas. Bingamman said ASK was succeeding in its lobbying efforts on student issues and was working to increase political issues and political participation among students.
The Senate is considering whether to continue KJ membership in the statewide student lobby group.

stared into the eyes of the three KAA board members.
The panel questioned the prisoner, delving into every aspect of his life—both outside the prison and since his imprisonment. They ignored the fact that he dropped, glanced eyes that pleaded with them.
"Opponents of presumptive sentencing call it a passing fad," said Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, a member of the interim committee. "They say it will have little impact on the crime rate and will increase the cost of running the prison system by $10 million a year."
SOLBACH RECONTENED the case of an inmate who was sentenced and served two years in prison for a non-violent offense that defrauded three parties of less than $100.
"This person had no previous convictions," Solbach said. "At $2 a day (the cost per prisoner in the state penitentiary) the state threw $18,250 for each inmate convicted of bribery and badly reinforced irresponsibility in that person."
But Solbach admits that sentencing is a complex question with no absolute answers.
"At the other end of the spectrum, what do you do with violent offenders?" Should a Class A felon be prosecuted?
Stephan argued that all discretionary questions should be taken away from the Secretary of Corrections and the KAEL. He said he thought the judge who assigned a sentence should maintain full control over extinguishing incarcerated prisoners by suspended sentence, sending the convict to a rehabilitation center for several months, an immediate parole, or a strict sentence.
Benjamin Day, a member of the KAA parole board, sat at the table listening attentively to every answer from each inmate, and speared each candidate with probing questions.
*Determine (presumptive) sentencing does not take into account the circumstance that the defendant was guilty.*
