CONNECTIONS: Greek organizations have structure for leaders
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
a secret society is the pinnacle of social connections, the political science major said. Secret societies are different than many traditional fraternities because members are chosen in their senior year and they are non-residential social organizations.
Dunlap said he would not vote for a candidate based on his fraternity affiliation, but others who were less informed might.
"I'm sure that plays a factor," Dunlap, Leawood senior, said of greek affiliations. "You're always made aware of your famous alum. Once you learn those things you have more respect for those people."
Students involved with fraternities and sororites have an opportunity to develop leadership skills they might not find elsewhere, said Laura Cripple, coordinator for fraternity and sorority life.
Through fraternities and sororities, students develop leadership skills employers look for, she said
"I think, in general, any activity gives them a benefit," Cripple said. "College is a great time to develop those skills."
Bryan Young, Student Senate treasurer and Lambda Chi Alpha member, agreed.
"The fraternity, just like any group or organization, requires you to think of someone else," Young, Friendswood, Texas, senior, said.
He said fraternities acted as

Allison Rose Lopez, public relations and marketing manager for information services, said she was sorry to lose Goodyear, her supervisor and mentor, but she thought the transition was good.
Stephens said she was excited about her new position for several reasons.
"I'm confident the positive experience that myself and the staff have had within information services will continue with Denise," Lopez said.
This was an opportunity to come back to the University itself.
she said. It was a privilege to be a part of the Anschutz Library and the University, she said.
An Oklahoma native, Stephens said coming back to the University would bring her closer to home.
She was excited about the combining of library and information technology cultures, two fields that have traditionally been separate.
Already in agreement with the direction of information services, she said she did not see the need to make any changes when she became vice provost.
Having ongoing engagement with the University community and nurturing the combination of library and information technology cultures, which the staff was already doing, are keys to the pro

gram's success, she said.
During her tenure at information services, Gooyear said there were two accomplishments she was particularly pleased with: online enrollment and the creation of a student technology coordinator position.
Other accomplishments include The Digital Library, which provides online access to research materials; a campuswide system that supports e-mail, calendaring and electronic group discussions; and an online Blackboard system that supports course management.
Tom Roberts, coordinator, interacts with students to determine their specific needs.
Formed in 1996, Information Services includes administrative and academic computing, networking and telecommunication services, the University's printing division and the KU Libraries. It has a staff of 365 full-time faculty and manages $36 million annually in resources.

INTERNATIONAL: For some foreign citizens, voting is the law
something about the election. Alves said the election results would have major ramifications.

Some international students criticize the way that campaigns are run in the U.S. compared to their home countries.
American candidates spend a lot of money compared to Brazilian candidates, Alves said. They spend more time bashing each other than talking about what they plan to do, Guillermo Goicochea, Lima, Peru, junior, said.
"I think the ads on TV are terrible." Goiococha said.
Alves and Goicochea pointed out why they have to vote in their own countries. If citizens don't vote they are fined. Alves said that it was good because it got everyone to vote. The Bolivian government will not allow citizens to do bank transactions for a period of

The students said that they would vote today if they were U.S. citizens.
"Some people just vote to avoid the fine and don't really know about the parties," Goicochea said.
Goicochea agreed that the system worked on getting voters to actually vote, but said that it has a negative aspect as well.

be televised on several big screen televisions at Abe and Jake's.
The Young Democrats have been helping the Douglas County Democrats since the beginning of the school year. Members of the group have helped plan ads and worked at the headquarters, among other things, said Marilyn Greathouse, chairwoman of the Douglas County Democrats.
She said that candidates running for state and county positions will be at the party.
"They will probably be back and forth from the county courthouse," said Greathouse.
Earlier in the year, the two groups gathered at Abe and Jake's for a watch party during the Democratic primary convention. They are expecting about 300 people to show up at this party — the 50 or so members of the Young Democrats, 100 members from the Douglas County Democrats and some of their friends, Kathleen Daughey, president of the Young Democrats, said.
Greathouse couldn't confirm a number but said that they are expecting a good crowd. She said she has sent out e-mails to all of the registered people on the Democratic listserv, and
