Senate seats unofficially filled; election procedure questioned
By BRAD ADDINGTON Staff writer

Everyone who received votes in last week's graduate and law student senator elections has unofficially received a place on the Senate. But a former Election Committee chairman has notified the Elections Review Board of possible irregularities in election procedure.
Paul Leader, Derby law student, and Vicki Huber, Roeland Park law student, the only declared law candidates, were elected to fill two law seats. There were no write-ins.
Ten students competed for 10 graduate Student Senate seats. Winning graduate seats were declared candidates Mary Austin, Parsons; Paul Chau-Jiun Shie, Lawrence; and Anne Foley, Galatin, Mo.
Seven write-in candidates also were elected to graduate seats: David Hardy, Lawrence; Michael Foubert, Lawrence; Michael Anderson, Overland Park; Clarissa Birch, Lawrence; Eric Niemelina Bendapudi, Vishakhatnam, India; and Glenn Shirtliffe, Ottawa, Canada.
About 150 people voted in the elections.
But Shirtlife, last year's Elections Committee chairman, said yesterday that staffing shortages at polling centers allowed for potential violations of elections procedures.
"I think a big thing was just a lack of dedicated poll workers." Shirtliffe said yesterday. "There were not people at the polls the whole time that the polls were supposed to be open."
Shirtlife said unstaffed polls could have allowed for ballot box stuffing. He said he knew of voters whose KUIDs had not been checked off upon voting, which would have allowed them to vote more than once.
"It was more in terms of guidance that I submitted the irregularities that I'd seen," Shirtliffe said. "In this case, it probably would be very hard to prove that the outcome of the election was fixed."
Steve Dixon, this year's Elections Committee chairman, said yesterday that the staffing shortage was due to a failure in communication.
Dixon said, "It probably didn't have an effect on the election this time, but I don't want it to ever happen again."
was going to handle the staffing of all seven polls. But that colleague thought he was responsible for staffing only the Kansas Union poll.
Dixon said he thought a colleague
Upon learning that all the polls would not be staffed, Dixon said he spent last Tuesday night trying to find student senators and committee members who could staff the polls for Wednesday's and Thursday's elections.
"The people that were there did a really good ioh" Dixon said.
Dixon said he hoped the Elections Review Board would consider Shirt-life's concerns and validate the election results. Election results remain unofficial until validated. The board is scheduled to meet sometime this week.
Dixon said he also hoped Senate would approve Wednesday the Elections Committee's recommendations for filling seven vacant Senate seats.
At its Oct. 21 meeting, the Senate did not approve the Elections Committee's recommendations because of inconsistencies in interviewing those who applied to fill the seats. Some applicants had been interviewed in person, some by telephone and some not at all.
KU official lives in Hashinger, attends meetings to see hall life

What she learned, she said, was all good.
Linda Beville, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs, moved into Hashinger Hall to learn the good and the bad about life in a residence hall.
"I found that a residence hall is a very convenient place to live," Reville said. "I was particularly impressed with Hasinger as a community. I the feeling that I was at home and was relaxed. I liked that feeling."
"I wanted to get a look at the daily operations of the staff themselves," Beville said. "I wanted to see what they go through to make sure the system is working well."
Beville attended about seven or eight meetings while she stayed at the hall between Oct. 18 to Oct. 30., including meetings of the hall government, hall staff, and other groups that operate Hashinger.
Beville said that what took place at the meetings did not surprise her. "Most everything was kind of routine," she said.
Beville said she had worked with the housing office several times to decide whether changes were needed in housing. The office of student affairs has authority over the housing office to decide whether changes are made in the housing system, she said.
ment that was about twice the size of a regular room. The room has a private bath and is usually rented to visiting parents, alumni or retired faculty. She ate some of her meals in the cafeteria.
"Anytime you are more sensitized to the inner workings of the hall, you will have a better understanding of how to assist them." Beville said.
Beville stayed in a guest apart-
Brett Stone, Florissant, Mo., junior and vice president of Hashinger, said Beville watched a hall government meeting.
Stone said he also talked to Beville at breakfast one day about the problem of getting enough representatives from each floor to attend hall government meetings.
Housing wasn't all Beville discussed. To get a feel for what students were interested in, she talked about a variety of things. Stone said she asked him how projects were critiqued in his graphic design class.
Bakkers plan KC program Low ticket sales may cancel show
By VIRGINIA McGRATH Staff writer
But Jeanne Calkins, booking manager at Kemper, said that only 52 tickets had been sold after two weeks of sales. That creates the possibility of a cancellation, she said.
Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, former leaders of the PTL television evangelist empire, are coming to Kansas City. But so far, few seem to have noticed.
The Bakers are scheduled to appear at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 5 at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., as part of nationwide "Farewell for Now" tour
Usually at least 8,000 tickets need to be sold at Kemper, Calkins said. The promoter, Fey Concert Co. of Fey Concert, will make a decision next week, she said.
"Whether or not it actually happens is up for grabs." Calkins said in reply.
Tom Oksner, media director of Fey Concert Co., said Friday that the show was billed as "an evening of laughing and remembering, singing and crying. Jim will be speaking from the heart and Tammy will be singing."
Okser said there would be a special fountain with "inspirational dancing waters". The Bakker chill-out space, also in Charles, also will be in the show.
"It should be quite a show," Okser said. Fey is promoting the Bakker show in Denver, where ticket sales also are slow. The show probably will travel to 25 cities, he said.
Tickets for the show are $18 and are sold through Capital Automated Ticket Services. No donations will be accepted.
The Bakkers were ousted from the PTL television ministry last March because of financial mismanagement and the revelation of a sex scandal involving Jim Bakker and former PTL secretary Jessica Hahn.
Hahn threatened a $12.3 million lawsuit against Bakker. She appeared in the October issue of Playboy, in which she told the story of her involvement with Bakker.
