Senate to meet today
Campus/Area
Staff writer
Student Senate will meet in a special session tonight to discuss postponement of graduate and law classes from next week to later in October.
Jason Krakow, student body president, called for the special session yesterday in response to graduate students' concerns that they would not have adequate time to campaign over next week. The Senate will meet at 8:30 p.m. Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
At a special meeting last week, the Student Senate Executive Committee established that the filing deadline would be Friday and elections would be Oct. 8. That would give candidates less than a week to campaign.
Senate regulations call for the elections of graduate and law senators to be in the first full week of October. The regulations also call for congressional debate between the deadline for filing for candidacy and the election day.
The Senate didn't adhere to those regulations because this year's Senate Elections Committee chairman was not selected until Sept. 9.
"We realize that a reasonable elec-
ture can't take place next week.
Krankenhaus"
Krakaw said that he, Stephanie Quincy, student body vice president, and Roger Templin, StudEx chairman, had drafted a strategy that would postpone the filing deadline to Oct. 7 and the election to Oct. 28.
Although StudEx established the candidacy filing deadline at last week's meeting, only the Senate can approve a bill stipulated by Senate regulations.
Krakow said he and other Senate leaders had spent a considerable part of yesterday and would spend time today notifying senators about the KFM radio will also announce the special session today, Krakow said.
All Senate elections were in the fall until Senate changed them last school year. Elections for all seats except graduate and law students now are in April. Graduate and law seats were kept in the fall because some graduate students are at KU for only a year.
Although selection of this year's Elections Committee chairman in September made difficult the organization of graduate and law student candidates, Query said it would have been very untraditional for the summer's Elections Committee chairman to begin organizing the elections.
Fraternity paints letters often, for fun
By BEN JOHNSTON

For six years, the concrete letters in front of the Kappa Sigma fraternity house have been painted dozens of times with different colors to form a myriad of designs ranging from the U.S. flag to tiger stripes.
And for years, students and residents who have seen the letters wondered why the fraternity member was so often in and in such a variety of designs.
Mark Klimiuik, Omaha, Neb., senior, and president of Kappa Sigma, 1045 Emery Road, said yesterday that the members got together in groups to discuss ideas for painting the letters.
"Someone will just put ideas on a bulletin board, and then on Friday night we'll talk about the ideas and how we can make it we'll get started." Klmik said.
Klimiuk said that the fraternity
members had a variety of design ideas for the letters, and since anyone in the fraternity could paint the letters were constantly being repainted.
Scott Navarro, Wichita sophomore and fraternity member, said, "Everybody does what they want. Why it why it gets painted all the time."
The concrete letters, which are about five feet high and eight feet wide, are the Greek letters for Kappa and Sigma. They were designed by a civil engineering student as a pledge class project in 1978.
Klimiuk said that the house members painted the letters an average of once a week, but have painted them as often as four times in a week.
"It has been something to do for the house," Klimiuk said. "The real response tension We want to give it off, usually, people have good ideas."
Each spring during final exams, the house members compete to see who can produce the best design, Klimik said.
"The competition is kind of an alternative to throwing eggs at people," Klimiu said. "Groups of five or six people paint the letters each other and decide who has the best design. The winners get a six-pack of beer."
Last spring, the winners of the competition painted a design that echoed the mood of the park.
Klimiuk said that he and four or five other members of the fraternity painted tiger stripes on the letters during country club week this fall.
"If we don't drink beer, the painting is not that messy." Klimiuk said. But sometimes someone will get in a fight, and then it gets kind of messy."
SanDee Nossaman, who lives across the street from the Kappa
"I like the fish they painted on there," she said. "They looked like they were swimming around. I enjoy seeing the new colors and designs. In fact, it is a conversation piece for the neighborhood."
Sigma house, said that she and everyone else in the neighborhood enjoyed seeing the letters change color and design.
John Davis, Leawood sophomore and fraternity member, said that he helped paint the current design, an art project he wrote on the letters for about two weeks.
"Soon we will get bored and feel like making a change." Davis said. Before we painted the flag on there, we decided to make it bigger, so we decided to make a change."
