Energy hearing
From the Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Federal Energy Administrator-designate Frank G. Zarb told the opening session of a three-day hearing on U.S. energy policy yesterday, "My own personal view is that we're going to have to take stronger measures" to cut back consumption of expensive foreign oil. Interior Secretary Rogers C. B. Morton said at the same meeting "some awful tough turkey" was needed to combat the energy problem. Zarb said it would be difficult for any government agency would be adopted. AN ap survey today showed holiday lights would burn this season across the nation in sharp contrast to last year when businesses, individuals and government agencies cut back decorations to save electricity.

CHARLESTON, W. Va.-Most of the nation's coal mines resumed production yesterday after a month-long shutdown, but about a fifth of the mines remained closed because of picketing by mine construction workers. Coal companies began going to federal judges for temporary restraining orders against the roving pickets. An AP check indicates that the UMW had ordered the mines to shut down Workers' (UMW) 120,000 soft coal miners. The construction workers, also members of the UMW, are awaiting finalization of contract negotiations in Washington with the Association of Bituminous Contractors.

WASHINGTON—Congress is preparing to appropriate more than $35 million to sugar growers despite high sugar prices, and Reps. Peter Peyser of New York and Silvio O. Conte of Massachusetts want it to stop. These subsidies are provided under a 40-year-old Sugar Act that Congress voted against renewing earlier this year. But under congressional rules, the measure cannot toow be amended, they say. The congressmen have approved the new bill, which will allow farmers from the agricultural appropriations when it reaches the White House. In New York, wholesales sugar prices decreased yesterday. Amstar, the nation's biggest refiner, said it was cutting prices to $39.54 for a bundle of 12-five-bounty bags. Surcent它 cuts its price to $39.42.
Global depression
From the Associated Press
PARIS-Leaders of Europe's once-driving Common Market agreed yesterday to lead a global fight against economic depression and mass unemployment. In what participants called a sad and somber discussion of the worldwide money and trade crisis, nine chiefs of government resolved to urge all like-minded nations to coordinate their anti-inflation measures, which they believe would be common and to work toward expansionist economic policies at home and abroad. The leaders agreed that only expansionists, internationalist economic policies could avert global depression.

Goal of Student Senate
Because it was established to serve the needs of students, it's important that the Senate be representative of the student body. Does the Senate serve the needs of the students or is it a group of campus politicians who reflect the concerns of a minority?
only minimally representative of the student body.
From Page One
The opinions on this question vary among members of the Senate. Lewis Gregory, chairman of the Senate's Finance and Budget Committee, served the needs of the students but added that considering the low turnout of voters for the election of senators, the Senate was
Tedde Tassheff, chairman of the Senate's Communications Committee said, "I don't feel like it's terribly representative at all. I think it's kind of sad. But considering it isn't totally representative, I think it does a pretty good job of compensating for that." Tassheff said candidates from organized labor in getting elected to the Senate because they had a natural following and could easily recruit a large number of backers.
Todd Hunter, student body vice president,
didn't agree with Tasheff's analysis. The
Follow Through inquiry to be finished next week
The investigation of a University of Kansas audit of KU's Follow Through program probably will be concluded next week. The assistant attorney general, said yesterday.
Connolly said on Nov. 12 that the investigation, which was being conducted by the state attorney general's office, was to be completed by the end of November.
He said yesterday the investigation had been held up because many of the people to be interviewed were scattered all over the room, and because of a lack of manpower.
"There were a lot of people to be interviewed," he said.
The Follow Through program, a continuation of the Head Start program, which gave rewards to children in elementary school, received approval from the grant from the Office of Health, Education and Welfare. The KU audit was begun last April after two former employees of the program said that they had been paid for their work. They believed that their work had involved no travel.
Connolly said the reports, which had been finished, hadn't yet been evaluated.
The audit, released by the Office of the Comptroller in July, stated the payments had been in violation of Kansas travel regulations and University of Kansas policies. The program had been discontinued earlier in the year.
earlier in the year.
The state attorney general's office began its investigation of the audit two weeks after the audit was released.
main factor involved in getting elected to the Senate is implicated, he said. If a student is interested in working and demonstrating himself, he can become a senator. Hunter said.
Beiserin said that over the past few years the Senate had become more and more representative of the student body. The Senate used to be composed of student politicians, but today it's more a group of concerned students, he said.
Whether all segments of the University are equally represented is debatable, but student input can come from a wide variety of areas. There are 98 members listed on the university's website, and 240 students elected from each of the schools and colleges-within-the-college on campus.

"It's amazing the number of problems the Student Senate deals with that arise out of one or two letters or a phone call," he said. Students can also become involved in the Senate by applying for membership on a Senate committee. Students interested in working on a committee can apply through the Senate office and are then interviewed as part of the senate committee he then becomes a nonvoting member of the Senate.
