Senate pays back band for concert
By BRAD ADDINGTON Staff writer
Staff writer
The Student Senate reimbursed KU Bands last night for a concert it gave earlier this month, overriding a decision by the student body president.
At its last meeting Oct. 7, the Senate approved a bill allocating money to establish various car insurance arrangements, including $1,500 for the Oct. 13 Commeoise Concert.
But Jason Krakow, student body president, didn't sign the bill, making it ineffective until after the concert was given and thus preventing the Senate from financing the concert.
Senate regulations prohibit the Senate vote reimbursing an organization.
The Senate last night suspended that regulation and reimbursed KU Bands for the concert.
Michael Foubert, graduate senator, called for the suspension and explained why he didn't call for it at the Senate's last meeting.
"I did not conceive that the bill would be sat on for 10 days." Foubert said. "I never considered the technicalities that would allow for a live
"I was opposed to it, but it obviously gained support in Senate," Krakow said to the senators. "But I heard that KU Bands backed you into a corner."
Krakow explained why he decided not to sign the bill rather than veto it.
Krakow said that KU Bands had presented the bill to the Senate less than a week before the concert.
item veto."
"I don't think that groups should make contractual agreements based upon what the Senate will or will not do." Krakow said.
Also last night, the Senate tabled approval of replacement senators recommended by the Elections Committee.

Communication is the key to establishing better relations between Christians and Muslims, said a University of Kansas professor who has practiced both faith.
Staff writer
Jeffrey Lang, professor of mathematics, spoke to about 30 people last night in the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union.
"Islam is not just a religion," Lang said. "It is a complete political, economical and social system."
Muslims, Christians must talk, prof says

Lang was reared in the Roman Catholic faith and attended Catholic schools. He left that religion, he said, after having doubts about the Catholic Church. He then became an atheist.
"The reason that I left religion is that it seemed to breed hypocrisy." Lang said.
He later became Muslim, one of about 1 billion followers of the Islamic religion. But, he said, the differences between Christians and Muslims don't have to remain.
"I think discussions like these and good communications are the key," he said.
The center's president, Shehdhe Fareh, Amman, Jordan, graduate student, said that he agreed with the main points in Lang's address.
His address was the first of a four-part series sponsored by the Islamic Center of Lawrence.
"Basic points such as peace and love and mercy are humanistic qualities that both religions are trying to seek." Farah said.
trying to seek, Parcher said.
Lang also explained some of the basic tenets of Islam.
The Koran is the holy book of Muslims, he said, because of its personal contact with its followers.
"It addresses the Muslim in highly personal ways," Lang said. "It makes him feel as if the author knows him better than he knows himself."
Lang said that Iran directed violence against the United States because the United States promoted Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war.
