Campus kids and cops will party together tomorrow night in the Burge Union.
The KU Public Safety Office and the Stouffer Neighborhood Association are sponsoring their seventh-annual holiday party for the children and parents of Stouffer Place and Sunflower apartments.
The children will be able to play a variety of games, from a remote control car race to a duck pond game to a bean bag toss, said Eric Grospitch, assistant director of the Department of Student Housing. The party will also offer
a raffle drawing for prizes.
And kids can expect a certain jolly old man in a red suit to stop by.
"There will be a visit from Santa Claus at the end of the night." Grosspitch said.
Throughout the night, residents of Stoyffer Place and Sunflower apartments will speak about different holidays, giving kids the opportunity to learn about each other's traditions, Grospietchaid.
Kids can get a picture with Santa to place in a handmade holiday card.
Parents will be able to create an identikid card for their children, said Chris Keary, assistant director of KU Public Safety.
Public safety workers will photograph the children and take their fingerprints. The information is put on a card for the parents to keep in case of an emergency.
generally. Families and officers both benefit from the annual event, Keary said.The party started as a way for officers to give back to the community they serve.
The party is from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Frontier Room in the Burge Union.
"The best way to reach the greatest number of people was to put on a party that everyone could go to and we could interact in a positive way." Keary said.

Task force: no speeches in class
By George Schulz gschulz@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A task force established by Student Body President Jonathan Ng last June designed to make improvements in Student Senate elections submitted its recommendations to the Election Commission last night.
The most contentious aspect of the recommendations, heard at a public forum at Alcove D in the Kansas Union, was whether to permit senate candidates to make partisan speeches during classes with instructor approval.
The task force strongly recommended that candidates be granted the right to speak in classes, but some members of the commission expressed concern that granting candidates suchree speech rights might inhibit the rights of other students who do
not wish to hear partisan sreeches by candidates.
Kyle Johnson, finance committee chair and Wichita junior who was in favor of granting candidates the right to speak during classes, said he thought the commission did not give the public enough of an opportunity to speak out in favor of or against the task forces recommendations.
Ngwas also in favor of granting the classroom speech rights to candidates.
"I supported everything the task force came up with," Nsaid.
The measure failed, and for now, candidates still cannot make partisan speeches in class. But amendments to the election code based on recommendations by the task force will not be put into effect until February 20030. The public will be given the opportunity to make complaints
about the code changes shortly after the February deadline.
The following recommendations by the task force were also some of the ones agreed upon by the commission:
Senate seat apportionment, or the seats available for student group representation, will now be based on numbers from the fall semester. It was previously based on the spring semester student population count. The change will give coalitions and groups more time to organize based on how many seats are available.
Candidates must be enrolled at the time of their declaration of candidacy and throughout the duration of their campaign.
Initial expense reports were eliminated, and final expense reports are now required to be filed a week before elections.
