PARKING FROM PAGE 1
300E), Hultine said. After the first 715 spots were chosen, 163 people were left. Out of that group, 75 were chosen to receive a parking spot at Stouffer Place Apartments. The remaining 88 were given the option to buy a parking pass for yellow lots only (lots 50, 206, 222 and 300 sections A-D). Overall, 878 students were on the waitlist for parking.
"All students were left with somewhere to go, even if the yellow zone was the only option," Hultine said. "There are quite a few spaces on 300E (Lied Center), so we're preparing an email to send to all students who have Daisy Hill permits informing them of this and to circle the lots on map to show them where permits are valid, especially because housing staff hasn't been able to get to their spots on Daisy Hill because students have been parking in them."
Lexi Riedel, a freshman from Shawnee who lives in Ellsworth, said she also feels like she's been affected by the construction.
"The parking is already a huge issue," Riedel said. "Finding a parking spot is next to impossible. I think the lottery process was not necessarily fair, but I'm not sure if there would have been any other way of achieving a decision"
Riedel said she felt the process was unfair since out-of-state students had to wait until shortly before school began to know whether or not they could bring their cars, which made planning difficult.
Although Hultine said that lot 300E is the closest parking to Daisy Hill for students who don't have a Daisy Hill permit, Riedel said the distance is an inconvenience.
"When parking, you have to expect beforehand that you might not even find a spot, or if you're lucky enough to find one, you still might have to walk awhile to your dorm," she said.
Hultine explained that even after construction is over, the likelihood of the lottery process disappearing is slim.
"This won't go away." Hultine said. "Next year's students will have to be informed about the limited parking when signing up for residence hall's. There is no new parking associated with the construction."
According to the 2014- 2024 Campus Master Plan, parking will be provided for the two new residence halls after McCollum is demolished.
Travis Kesinger, a sophomore from Topeka who lived in Ellsworth last year, said the construction was an issue when he lived on Daisy Hill.
FIRE FROM PAGE 1
"It was definitely frustrating, especially if you drove anywhere late at night," Kesinger said. "It seemed all impossible to find a spot then. I don't feel like it affected my experience as a freshman particularly because I didn't drive a lot. I would walk if at all possible."
Hultine said she realizes removing parking spaces presents a problem for students; however, she said the University will allocate as many spaces as possible.

Nguyen said.
After this experience and one at a friend's residence when an oven pizza started burning, Nguyen said checking where fire extinguishers are and knowing how to use them prepares you if a fire occurs.
While preventing fires is desired, it is equally important to know what to do in the event of a one. For those who live off campus, King suggests knowing multiple ways to exit the building as fires can make your normal path of entry and exit unusable.
"If there is an actual fire, after calling 911, the protocol is to call me first and then call the rest of the managers. Then our community assistant teams would knock on doors," Wilcoxson said. "Coordination is big. You have to direct traffic, keep people away so the fire department can actually come in, because when they come in, they come in with, you know, six trucks."
According to the KU student housing website, all residence hall staff members receive annual training provided by Lawrence Fire and Medical staff. This training includes prevention, response procedures and proper extinguisher use. All on-campus living areas provide fire safety programs designed to educate residents on fire prevention, as well as what to do in the event of a fire.
SENATE FROM PAGE 1

Technology Department, and the details of voter eligibility are not yet available.
The Commission also decided that there would be no physical polling places and that the majority of the voting would be electronic. Additionally, the Commission set a new spending cap for the coalitions at $1100. This includes all spending from last spring's election. The coalitions are also allowed to use campaign materials from last spring's election, including t-shirts, buttons and banners.
Pacey said there has been no contact between the Elections Commission and the Appeals Panel.
"if they have an issue with what we're doing, I would love for them to contact me, but I'm not going to approach them. I feel like everything we've done is reasonable." Pacey said.
The meeting started with Pacey's election to the chair of the Commission. He had been serving as acting chair — due to the resignation of Jake Rapp
and as of Tuesday's meeting he is now the official chair.
he is now the official chair. Pacey, who is currently pursuing a Ph.D., has been at the University since 2002 and said he's never seen anything like this in his time with Senate.
Tyler Childress, acting chief of staff, received a call from Senate advisors on Friday. He was the chief of staff under former Student Body President Marcus Tetwiler and is now in his first year of law school at the University.
Childress, along with former Student Body Vice President Emma Halling, will continue Senate operations during the campaign and elections.
Childress said that he won't be working on platforms or initiatives but wants to make sure
that day-to-day Senate operations continue.
"we're trying to do basically nothing, policy wise, we're trying to do nothing longstanding. It's just making sure that the process going forward will still be able to fund student groups," Childress said.
Childress' main focus is making sure that the Senate continues to exist within the next three weeks.
Salt away the nice stock.
"Just making sure that there is a structure that can be handed off to whoever wins next week," Childress said.
The 2013-2014 Senate will resume Wednesday night and will vote to approve of Said and Wagner's hired executive staff and vote on an interim student body vice president.
Senators from last year who ran as Jayhawkers in the spring will not be allowed to vote because of S.S.R.R. 5,16.1.1. which does not allow for a senior who has committed an egregious violation to participate in Student Senate for twelve calendar months.
"Basically, since they nullified that election, those people are no longer eligible to assume those positions, which means we default to pre-joint Senate, which means that all of us that handed off the baton, just got the baton handed back to us." Childress said.
Morgan Said, the winner of the spring presidential election as a candidate for Grow KU, said the coalition plans to run again in the re-election.
"When we ran in the spring together it's because we had common ideologies and I don't think those have changed. Everyone on our slate is well aware of what's going on and now that we know more of the guidelines for this re-election, we'll be able to re-engage." Said said.
MacKenzie Oatman of Jayhawkers and Kevin Hundelt of Crimson and True could not be reached for comment Tuesday evening.
