Committee proposes cutting Senate seats
Bv DIANE SWANSON

After a brief discussion, the Student Senate rights committee voted last night to recommend that the size of the Student Senate be reduced by half.
The proposal, which will come before the Senate next Tuesday, would reduce the number of Senate seats from 120 to 60.
The recommendation will be sent to the full Senate, which, in turn, will make a recommendation to the University which will make the final decision.
The petition recommends that the Senate Code, which governs University Senate and Student Senate membership, change the rule of one representative for every senator. The agreement of Senate seats to the various schools shall be made on the basis of percentage of full-time enrollment."
If the proposal is adopted, the Senate would be composed of the student body president and vice president, three special representatives to the University Council and representative senators. Other representatives, such as those from living groups, would be eliminated.
THE NUMBER OF seats for each school would be determined according to the school's size.
A tentative number of seats, figured by Student Senate elections committee co-chairman John Knightly and Octavio Viveros, shows the breakdown as follows: College of Liberal Arts and Sciences—Nunemaker; 24; School of Architecture; 1; School of Business; 2; School of Education; 4; School of Engineering; 4, School of Fine Arts; 3; School of Journalism; 1; School of Law; 1; School of Pharmacy; 1; School of Social Welfare; 1; School of Allied
Health, 1; Graduate School, 12 and University Special Students, 2.
The minimum number of seats each school could have also would be cut—from two to one.
The proposed list was determined from spring enrollment figures in the office of admissions and records. Viveros said the committee would be reviewing past enrollments as well as fall enrollment figures, when they become official in October, to assess enrollment trends.
THE NUMBER OF seats each school would receive could change every semester if enrollment in the schools shifted drastically. Viveros said.
Elected and appointed representatives are expected to increase to 130 this year, Matt Davis, student body vice president, said.
He told the committee he thought the Senate's size had increased beyond
He said that past Senates had been having trouble getting quorums, and a reduced Senate size could help attendance.
Davis said one of the advantages of reducing the number of senators was that the number of coalitions running for Senate seats each year would decrease, despite the increase in campaign campaigns. This would enable more students to run, he said.
IN OTHER ACTION, the committee voted to recommend a bill to the Senate that would add to the University rules and regulations a clause stating "no legislation—bill not passed" be considered by the full Student Senate prior to the legislation's approval by a standing committee of the Student Senate."
The bill "would state a little more forcefully that legislation would have to go through committee, be put on the agenda, mailed out to senators and only then be considered by the Senate," Davis said.

Trial date scheduled for anti-draft group
By RAY FORMANEK Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
A trial for three members of an anti-draft group charged with criminal trespassing at Lawrence High School to begin tomorrow in Municipal Court.
The three, members of Kansans Against the Draft, were charged after they allegedly refused to leave school property after being told to do so by both the principal and a vice principal of the school.
The incident at Lawrence High School involved a girl named Gabriela goldfish leaflets on school property.
Teddy McCullough, Lawrence junior, said the group had received permission from Brad Tate, Lawrence High School principal, to distribute the leaflets on school property as long as they stayed in the building and did not disturb classes.
She said Ron Kuby, 1979 KU graduate, had talked to Tate and had received permission to distribute content in information informational alternative ways to deal with the draft.
Kuby, reached yesterday at Cornell University Law School in Ithaca, N.Y., said he had discussed the matter in late April with Tate in Tate's office.
- Kuby said he agreed to keep the group out of the school building and not to block any entrances or exits to the school.
"I told him there would be no intimidation," Kuby said. "We would only hand out leaflets and discuss the issue."
Kuby said he was not at the school accident occurred, because he was at work.
"It would be a violation of school board policy." he said.
Tate said he had discussed with Kuby the group's intention to pass out antidraft leaflets on the public property around the school.
Tate, however, denied giving Kuby
materials to distribute leaflets on
school grounds.
"We discussed distributing literature in the street and on the public sidewalks, not on school property," he said.
Tate said he was forced to call police

McCullough said she and three other members of the group received warrants in the mail eight days after the incident. Those charged are McCullough, Jerry Overland Park sophomore, and Doug Bradley, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, junior.
McCullough said that as the antidraft group members began to leave, the Lawrence police arrived and began taking the names of the group members while students continued to heckle them.
"Many people are invited to come on school grounds," Tate said. "If they interrupt the program they are asked to refuse to leave they are trespassing."
"There was a group of about 30 students heckling and jeering a woman who was passing out leaflets," she said. "They were calling her a comrade and then even began to sing 'God Bless America.'"
