Summer is planning time for Student Senate goals
By BRAD ADDINGTON
Staff writer
The Student Senate has spent the summer laying the groundwork for several goals it hopes to accomplish this school year, said student body president Jason Krakow.
The Senate has been meeting with legislative leaders in Topeka and student leaders across the state to discuss the Associated Students of Kansas' HERO (Higher Education Rescue Operation) program, said Krakow. Prairie Village senior.
The program, which is designed to maintain financial support in the state Legislature for higher education, was conceived by Martie Aaron, Wichita law student and ASK campus director. KU's Senate is responsible for coordinating the program, Krakow said.
The Senate also has arranged what has been known as its fall retreat. Student senators will attend a leadership training seminar in Topeka on Aug. 29 and 30.
"I think it's important that we get our freshman senators to the Capitol building, because lobbying in Topeka will be a major part of our legislative activity." Krakow said.
The Senate has also been working on the spring 1988 edition of the Course Source, an informational book that was first published last year.
The Course Source is continually expanding and is receiving increasing cooperation from academic departments, Krakow said. The spring 1988 edition will appear concurrently with the spring 1988 timetable.
Also this summer, Beth Feiring,
Kansas City, Kan., graduate student,
was appointed as the Senate's new
executive secretary.
Other tasks the Senate may tackle this fall include establishing a student loan program and a student loan program to give the Lawrence City Commission.
The loan program, which originally was proposed by the past student body president and vice president, would allow students to get loans of up to $150. The loans would be for emergencies, Krakow said, but the program isn't a high priority.
The city commission advisory committee would include the student body presidents of KU, Haskell Indian Junior College and Lawrence High School, said Stephanie Quincy, student body vice president.
