GradEx wants elections postponed
Bv BRAD ADDINGTON
Staff writer
The Graduate Executive Committee decided last night to recommend to the Student Senate that graduate and law student Senate elections be moved from next week to later in October.
GradEx decided to make the recommendation because Senate had not established graduate and law student Senate elections in accordance with Senate regulations, GradEx members said.
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
a 15-day period between the deadline for filing for candidacy and the election day.
All Senate elections were in the fall until Senate changed them last school year. Elections for all seats except graduate and law students are now in April. Graduate and law students were kept in the fall because some graduate students are at KU for only a year, senators thought.
The Senate had difficulty adhering to those new regulations because this year's Senate Elections Committee chairman was not selected until Sept. 15.
"If we would have had a little more foresight, we could have introduced
some legislation at the first Senate meeting," said Roger Templin, Student Senate Executive Committee Intern and ex officio member of Grade 8.
The first Senate meeting was Sept. 16.
At a special meeting last week, StudEx established that candidacy announcements would take place this week and elections would be Oct. 8. That would have given candidates less than a week to campaign.
Michael Foubert, GradEx coordinator, said last night, "we can have an election (next Thursday), but I don't think it will be reasonable."
But Jason Krakow, student bod
president, said StudEx did not have the power to postpone elections that the Senate regulations stipulated. Studex could have called for a special session of the Senate to discuss postponing the elections.
GradEx members last night discussed mail letters to student senators recommending that graduate and law student Senate elections be permanently changed to the last week of October, Foubert said. However, members realized that the letters would not reach senators within the required 10 days before the next Senate meeting, which is Oct. 7, so no action could have been taken at that meeting.
Family killed by teen is buried in Missouri
The Associated Press
MARSHFIELD. Mo. — Friends and relatives of seven family members killed during a teen-ager's shooting rampage clung to each other and wept as the family was buried yesterday in a small country cemetery.
"If there's anything to be learned from all this, it's to learn to seek someone to talk to if we're in trouble and to have the ears to hear when someone cries out," the Rev. Wilburn Stewart said after a brief service at Timber Ridge Cemetery.
Lining the front of the First Baptist Church were the flower-draped
caskets of Steve Buckner, 35, his wife Jan. 36, sons Kirk, 14, Dennis, 8, Timothy, 7, and Michael, 2, and Steve Buckner's sister, Julie Schlein. 30
Authorities believe 14-year-old Kirk Buckner went on a rampage with a 22-caliber pistol before dawn Friday. Authorities have not determined a motive for the shootings, but neighbors said the boy may have been frustrated about his family's financial situation.
About 500 people, including 34 ball- bearers, attended the memorial service before following five hearse to the burial site miles from the Buckners' dairy farm.
Steward, a longtime friend of the family, told mourners that the incident showed how frail people could be.
"Everything man makes has a breaking point. In mankind, there's a point of breaking, too," the minister said. "Something in Kirk had reached that point, and he just snapped."
The Rev. Jerry Cooney, who was among four ministers at the service, paid tribute to the family and said they had been involved in many community activities. He described Kirk as a youngster who loved to fish and hunt and enjoyed his activities in 4-H and Little League.
"This family was a very close group who thoroughly enjoyed one another. They shared many laughs, and there will be a great void in the surviving family members," Cooney said.
Investigators said Kirk, a quiet boy who had just started his freshman year in high school, apparently shot his younger brothers in the head as they slept, shot his mother and father outside their small farmhouse and then drove to the farm of his aunt and uncle, Jim and Julie Schnick.
