Freshmen can fill Senate seats
By a Kansan reporter
Although holding Student Senate elections last spring made the election of current freshmen impossible, freshmen may apply now to fill vacancies in the Senate.
Twelve Senate vacancies need to be filled, Steve Dixon, chairman of the Senate elections committee, said at last week's Senate meeting.
And Stephanie Quincy, student body vice president, said the dismissal of some students from the Senate because of absenteeism could create even more vacancies.
Senators are suspended if they
have two unexcused absences or four absences of any kind. Senators may appeal the suspensions, but if they are not reinstated after the appeal, they are dismissed. Six absences of any kind is grounds for automatic dismissal without a chance to appeal, according to Senate rules.
access. On Oct. 7, the Student Senate Executive Committee will consider the appeals of senators who have been suspended. That same night, the Senate will give final approval to people who have applied for Senate vacancies.
at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Trail Room of the Kansas Union to begin the process of filling vacancies.
According to Senate rules, the chairman of a committee is responsible for formulating an application in case of a vacancy. Then, for 10 school days, the chairman must accept applications to fill the vacancy.

INDEPENDENCE — An explosion that "shook the whole town" leveled one building and damaged others yesterday, showering debris over the main street.
The chairman reviews the applications for one week. If there is more than one applicant for a vacancy, the chairman and other members of the committee will interview the applicants. Nominees must then receive approval by a majority of the Senate.
The explosion occurred shortly after noon at a meat market. No one was inside the building at the time of the blast.
The roof of a furniture store adjacent to the market was caved in, and its walls were heavily damaged,
Independence Police Lt. Michael Hight said. The front of a beauty shop was also blown in.
was also shown. Independence Police Officer Keith Rather was treated and released at Mercy Hospital, according to a spokeswoman. Rather was working as a dispatcher at City Hall, across the street from the market, when he was cut by flying glass.
Independence Police Chief Lee Bynum said the cause of the blast had not been determined.

Field images that Herd has created in the Midwest over the last few years have gained considerable national attention. Herd has been the subject of a profile by Charles Kuralt of CBS News and of articles by several newspapers around the country.

Herd. For months ago the Lawrence Arts Center asked Herd about a public showing of his work. They chose yesterday because Herd predicted the sunflowers that he used in the design would be in full bloom then. But Herd said his prediction was a week off.
"They were at their peak last week," he said.

Bickford said a union could either lobby or strike to get what it wanted. He said he thought that the state Legislature would not be swayed more by a union than by individual faculty members and that strikes would be unfair to students.
would be unhappy.
Philip McKnight, professor of curriculum and instruction and secretary of KU Independent Faculty, said the group would try to run a low-key campaign. The group will send newsletters to faculty and speak in forums about unions, similar to campaigns by the KU chapter of NEA and the KU chapter of AAPU, he said.
Bickford said that the group would ask for donations to help pay for newsletters but that it wouldn't need more than a few hundred dollars. He said he hoped the campaign would be friendly.
