Senate backs theater resolution
By Seth Jones
Kansan staff writer
Student Senate has decided to support the students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and to ask Hollywood Theaters for a break.
A resolution presented by Maria Abatjoglou, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator; Mark Horowitz, graduate senator; and Alan Stearns, graduate senator, requested that Hollywood Theaters continue to offer its dollar movies or to offer a discount to students.
The resolution passed by a voice vote with one amendment asking that Hillcrest 5 Theatres, which offers dollar movies, not be called the only discount theater in Lawrence. The reason for the amendment was because Student Union Activities also offers discount movies to students. Abatioglu said.
Hollywood Theaters decided not to renew its lease on Hillcrest, 925 Iowa St. The lease will expire Sunday.
The three senators who proposed the resolution sent a letter to Hollywood Theaters' headquarters to ask the company to help students by providing some form of discount movies. The letter was sent Sept. 14, and Hollywood has not yet responded, Abatioqliou said.
LEGISLATION
PASSED, a bill to fund the KU Psychology Club. The bill called for the allocation of $282.
PASSED, a resolution requesting that Hollywood Theaters continue to offer a discount movie theater in Lawrence or offer discounts for students.
PASSED, a resolution to support the position of the Associated Students of the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Southworth vs. Grebe.
TABLED, a bill to amend Student Senate rules and regulations. The resolution says any legislation heard by the finance committee must comply with the Senate budget guidelines.
She said that if Hollywood did not make an effort to comply with the resolution, further action might be required.
Abatioglou said.
Senate also passed a resolution to support the position of the Associated Students of the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the Southworth vs. Grebe case. The resolution was tabled in the last Senate meeting because senators said the resolution's sponsor, Partha Mazumdar, needed to provide more information.
The ruling stated that Madison's student government no longer could allocate student fees to various organizations that students had voiced complaints against.
Mazudar, graduate senator,
came to last night's meeting with a
booklet outlining the case, and
Senate passed the resolution.
Senate's resolution offers support to the Associated Students of Madison and to help in fighting the ruling and its implications.
Greg Skoch, law senator, did not support the resolution.
"This is about the students themselves, not the groups," he said. "As an individual, I don't have to pay my student fees to fund these groups that I don't agree with, that violates my conscience."
Bulletin-board postings restricted
Officials plan fines to make policy stick
By Melody Ard
Kansan staff writer
Administrators hope that this semester's revised bulletin-board policy will end the days of tape-covered lampposts and bus stops.
In an effort to help reduce campus litter, Jeanette Johnson, assistant to the provost, helped draft a bulletinboard policy that limits postings to specific areas on campus.
The policy puts campus bulletin boards into two categories: departmental and public. Departmental bulletin boards are those marked for use by a specific class, department or group. Unmarked bulletin boards are considered public.
"I don't think anyone sets out and says 'let me make the campus look tacky,' but that's what happens," Johnson said.
"Bulletin boards in classrooms are for instructional use only, as defined by the instructors," Johnson said. "Also, glass cases were for the nearest department or for the fine arts department. Generally, it is open if the bulletin board isn't clearly marked."
Shonel Kizer, Houston sophomore, said that she understood the policy and that it would not limit access to important information, which often was available elsewhere.
"A lot of times, I know what's going on because I walk by Wescoe Beach or something," she said. "I'm not necessarily going to go and check out a bulletin board."
Johnson said that faculty, staff and members of Student Senate had
expressed concern about the appearance of commercial materials on classroom bulletin boards. A shortage of custodial staff and the cost of cleaning and repairing the bulletin boards also were factors in the decision.
Although the janitorial staff is responsible for building maintenance, Johnson said that custodians could not be held responsible for removing postings because faculty and custodians might not agree about what inappropriately was posted.
As a result, enforcement of the policy is left up to classroom instructors. Punishments for violations can range from a warning to a fine to cover cleanup costs, whether the materials are found inappropriately posted in classrooms or on objects such as stop signs.
Johnson said that University officials had not yet levied any fines but would begin more rigid enforcement of the policy after Oct. 1.
