Student Senate debates bills for Loveline, fees
By Seth Jones
By Seth Jones Kansan staff writer
Student Senate committees opened last night and gave a green light to Loveline and a yellow light to a resolution opposing a court ruling that affects the allocation of student fees.
Tiffany Crow, Student Union Activities vice president of alumni relations, spoke before both the finance committee and the University Affairs Committee to seek financial support to bring the MTV program Love-line to the Lied Center. With little debate, committee members passed a bill asking for $2,000 to help foot the total cost of $21,000. The bill will go before full Senate next Wednesday.

The Sept. 19 Loveline show at the Lied Center actually will not be broadcast on MTV. The program is part of a Loveline tour which is traveling around the United States separate from MTV.
University Affairs then had to take a 10-minute break because a bat began flying around the Union Ballroom. The committee moved to another room, but before it reconvened, the bat was caught and released outside unarmed.
University Affairs then moved on to talk about the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' decision in Southworth v. Grebe. The ruling stated that the student government at the University of Wisconsin-Madison no longer could allocate student fees to various organizations that students had voiced complaints against.
Partha Mazumdar, graduate senator and Graduate Affairs Committee chairman, asked the University Affairs and Student Rights committees to oppose the court decision and to offer assistance to the Associated Students of Madison.
"This is a horrendous ruling that could affect all of our fees," said Mazumdar. "It's our duty to take a stance against this."
Mazumdar used paying taxes on roads as an analogy.
"I pay for roads to get fixed in Southwestern Kansas. I've never even been to southwestern Kansas," he said. "But I'm not angry that they want to fix the roads there, and I know that if we ask everyone what roads they want to fix, no one will agree. And then we'll never get any of them fixed."
Mike Henry. Student Legislative Awareness Board Committee member, agreed with Mazumdar that the ruling was wrong but thought that Senate should leave the ruling alone so that it would not become a problem in Kansas.
"Right now, this doesn't affect us," he said. "If we're loud, sooner or later it will be brought up in Kansas. If you don't open your mouth, there isn't going to be a fist fight, but if you do open your mouth, then there's going to be a fight."
Medical merger broadens care in Kansas City
The resolution was tabled in both the committees after Mazumdar said he would provide the committees with more information at the next meeting.

The University of Kansas Hospital has agreed to buy TriSource Medical Group to bring primary care services closer to individuals in the Kansas City area.
TriSource Medical Group consists of 11 physician practices that serve about 70,000 patients.
"This partnership with the physicians in the TriSource Medical Group will increase convenience for both patients and referring physicians," said Irene Cumming, University of Kansas Hospital president and chief executive officer.
The University of Kansas Hospital agreed to purchase the medical group from
Irene Cumming; Says purchase would mean better services
TriSource Healthcare Inc. The purchase is expected to become official in November 1998, said Jeff Wright. University of Kansas Hospital spokesman
The purchase agreement was announced Aug. 25. Financial details have not been disclosed, pending a 60-day financial and legal review, Wright said.
The TriSource Medical Group sites include one in Overland Park and Mission. The remaining nine practices are located in Kansas City, Mo.
Cumming said that the purchase would provide greater access to specialized services for more than 60 percent of University of Kansas Hospital patients who come from the metro area.
Additional physicians will not be added to the medical group.
"We did not believe it was necessary to bring new physicians into the marketplace or start-up practices to make our specialized services and resources more convenient," she said.
Wright said that despite the partnership, physicians would not be influenced by the University of Kansas Hospital to where patients should be referred.
"They can still refer patients to local community hospitals." he said.
As a result of the partnership, the physicians will have access to a physician call center that patients can be referred to for health-related information. Also, physicians can call a physician-to-physician consulting service in which they can access specialists at the hospital, Wright said.
