Student Senate waits for committee approval to criticize radio station

A resolution condemning Lawrence radio station KLZR 105.9 for changing its format will have to wait another two weeks for Student Senate's approval.
The resolution went before the Student Senate Executive Committee, which has the power to place legislation on the agenda even if it has not been reviewed by any of the five standing committees.
StudEx voted unanimously last night to send the resolution to committees.
Sarah Schreck, the resolution's sponsor, said pre-empting committees was within Senate's rules and regulations.
Pluses and regulations.
"StudIEx obviously decided we needed to follow the more proper procedure," she said. "This wouldn't have been completely unheard of."
Schreck said the delay would give her an opportunity to edit the legislation's wording.
"If we're sending this to other places like media outlets, we don't want it to be a joke," she
said, "I think in the end, we'll come up with a little more polished resolution. If it had failed because of the wording, it would have been hard to bring it back up again."
o bring back up at the Marlon Marshall, StudEx chairman, said the legislation was not urgent enough to justify skipping the committee process.
"StuddEx felt there was no rush on the bill," he said. "We usually only do that in an emergency situation. We want students to have their say before it comes in front of Senate."
Marshall declined to comment if he thought the resolution had merit.
"If students really feel the Lazer is prominent and feel Student Senate should take it up, that's great," he said. "More power to 'em."
In other business, Senate approved a bill to allow non-senator committee members to co-sponsor legislation.
The bill charges committee chairpersons and vice chairpersons to pair committee members with senators as their mentors. Moreover, the bill allows non-senator co-sponsors speaking rights to defend their bills in front of Senate.
"people are very enthusiastic about it," said Eric Rush, one of the bill's co-sponsors and chairman of the Senate committee board. "Any time Senate can empower members of committees,

Jason Thompson, chairman of the student rights committee, said he expected non-senators to embrace readily their new rights.
"Senators don't always know everything about the issues or the student's takes on what's going on," he said. "I think committee members will take this to heart."
Senate also approved a resolution requesting the parking department to issue two-for-one parking passes for students living in married housing at Sunflower Apartments or Stouffer Place.

Provost divvies up Graves' budget cuts
Heavier burden placed on administrative units to spare academic side
By Nathan Willis

Kansan staff writer
The provost's office has determined how to divide up $2 million in budget cuts ordered last week by Gov. Bill Graves among academic and administrative units at the University of Kansas.
Provost David Shulenburger sent a letter Monday to deans and other unit administrators informing them of how much they would need to cut their budgets. The letter also put into effect an immediate hire freeze.
BUDGET CUTS
Deans and vice chancellors can make exceptions to the freeze as they see fit, and the provost's office will exempt individual units from the freeze once they have identified the sources of all the funds they will cut, said Lindy Eakin, associate provost for support services.
Eakin said the provost's office had calculated the amount by which each unit would need to cut its budget based on a two-tiered
Chancellor Area $60,844
Provost Area $124,120
Facilities Management $109,140
Research and Public Service
$101,417
KS Geological Survey $88,000
Student Affairs $43,088
Information Services $96,981
Academic Services $38,006
Support Services $69,711
Administrative Affairs $57,153
Libraries $121,073
Edwards Campus $6,113
Continuing Education $18,750
formula. All academic units have to cut their current budgets by .945 percent, and all administrative units have to cut their budgets by 1.134 percent.
Grad School/International Program
$11,518
School of Architecture $29,104
School of Business $68,618
School of Education $71,928
School of Engineering $102,851
School of Fine Arts $79,281
School of Journalism $23,199
School of Law $59,482
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
$554,390
School of Pharmacy $44,627
School of Social Welfare $25,960
"We were trying to protect the academic core part of the budget," he said.
Eakin said administrative cuts were made at a higher rate because the University wanted to spare the academic community from the budget cuts as much as possible.
Still, many of the college deans were concerned about the impacts of the budget cuts on their schools, he said.
TOTAL $2,005,354
Sally Frost Mason, dean of liberal arts and sciences, was one of those concerned. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has to cut $554,390 from its budget — more than a quarter of the University's total cuts and by far the most of any academic or administrative unit in terms of sheer dollar amount.
"We've been instructed to be sure that services to students remain in tact, and we'll do our best to make sure that happens," she said. "But in all honesty, this is a very painful cut."
Frost Mason said the college had
to find money in its budget that had not yet been allocated or spent — a difficult task partway into the year.
She also said that of the college's budget, only about $2 million was not tied up in personnel and was used for operating expenses.
"A cut of this magnitude would wipe out more than 25 percent of the entire operating budget for the year," Frost Mason said.
Diana Carlin, interim assistant provost for academic services, said the departments under her supervision also were concerned about the effects of the cuts. Academic services, which includes the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, New Student Orientation and Freshman and Sophomore Advising, will have to slice $38,006 from its budget.
"Everyone is asking about the cuts," she said.
Eakin said the one unit exempted from any cuts was custodial services.
"The chancellor exempted custodial services because we've been through that before, and the salaries are so low and turnover is so high," he said. "And the result is so unappealing."

Latina editor to speak on Latino leadership
Kansan staff writer
By Lesley Simmons
Journalist Sandra Guzman wants to bring awareness to what she calls the synergy taking place among newspapers, magazines, television and the Internet.
She will address this topic as the keynote speaker for the University of Kansas' celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Guzman, whose speech is entitled "A Latina Perspective in Media Convergence and Hispanic Influences in America," has an insider's perspective on the news media. In her career, she has worked as a reporter for a Spanish-language newspaper, in public relations as senior spokeswoman for a former New York City controller, in television as a
public affairs producer for the Emmy Award-winning program, Enquête 47, and now as editor in chief for Latina, a bilingual life-
geared toward
Hispanic women. The magazine has a national circulation of 225,000.
Guzman said she would take a Latino perspective in her speech, which will include Latino leadership in the new millennium, the cur
rent Latino explosion and the differences between working for the mainstream press and the Hispanic press.
Guzman: Will speak tomorrow on Latino leadership
She also will speak about issues
involving women in the workplace.
Gloria Flores, associate director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center and advisor for Hispanic-American Leadership Organization, said she first became familiar with Guzman by reading her letters from the editor that appear at the beginning of each issue of "Latina."
Guzman said she looked forward to sharing her experiences in journalism with students and speaking about the opportunities in the field.
Guzman was born in Puerto Rico and raised in New Jersey. She attended Rutgers University where she received bachelor of arts degrees in history and philosophy. She has worked in New York City for several years.
Sne said Guzman would be able to educate students about both Hispanic culture and journalism.
Guzman's speech is co-sponsored by the Hispanic-American Leadership Organization, the School of Journalism and Amanza, a minority organization for journalism students.
"I'm interested in her coming here," said Jerry Jackson, Lansing senior. "It gives a fresh perspective on the magazine industry any time we can get someone to come to the school from the workplace to give perspective from outside of academia. It's a good thing."
Ballet Folklorico of Topeka will perform dance routines before Guzman's speech. The routines will include authentic dances from different regions in Latin America. A story, narrated by the director, will accompany many of the dances.
The event is free and open to the public.
