Fulcher's complaints
1. SENATE DID NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY to remove him because the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities states that the University does not have jurisdiction over off-campus crimes.
2. SENATE DENIED due process.
3. A RECALL ELECTION is the only way to remove a student body president, according to the Student Senate Election Code.
4. THE FACT THAT THE STUDENT RIGHTS COMMITTEE wrote regulations for presidential removal this semester was an admission that removal procedures previously did not exist.
5. THE STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT is an ex-officio (non-voting) member and is elected by the student body. Senate did not have the authority to remove him.
Judicial Board's response
1. BECAUSE THE MOTION TO REMOVE FULCHER did not affect his status as a student, the code does not apply.
2. THE PROCEDURES FOLLOWED BY SENATE were not fully consistent with due process, but Fulcher had an adequate opportunity to present his case.
3. THE CODE NEVER STATES that a recall vote is the exclusive means to remove a student body president.
4. WRITING REMOVAL PROCEDURES was not an admission of their prior inexistence but an acknowledgement that clarification was needed.
5. FULCHER DERIVES MANY OF HIS POWERS from Senate and is subject to removal.

International students prepare for the holidays
By Lisa Golda Taylor Special to the Kansan
Special to the Kansan
While most University of Kansas students are thinking about Santa Claus, traditional turkey dinners and trimming the tree, KU international students are thinking about Christmas customs and religious holidays celebrated in their own countries.
Unfortunately, some foreign students will not be able to go home for the holidays but will stay in Lawrence. The international student office at KU offers foreign students options to surviving the holiday season without family. One such program called the Host Family Program, is run by the Lawrence community.
The foreign student office helps with the program by referring foreign students to the organization.
Sarah Martin, organizing director of the homestead program, said that a Lawrence host family serves as friends to the international students.
"The students don't stay with the family, but the family does keep in close contact with the foreign student," Martin said. "The family then usually plans activities with the students such as going to the movies or some other outing that both enjoy."
Ming Li, Beijing,graduate student, will be spending her Christmas holiday in Lawrence. Li has friends that she will be
staying with, but while she is celebrating Christmas in the United States she will be thinking about the holiday traditions celebrated in her own country.
Li said they don't have Christmas in China, but rather they celebrate a spring festival
"The family gets together and has a party," Li said. "If you work for the government or are a student, then you get several days off."
Li said that the days for celebrating the spring festival differed every year because it was based on the Chinese calendar which changes frequently.
Daisuke Sasaki, Tokyo senior, said that most people in Japan celebrated an American style Christmas holiday but that other customs are still practiced.
"Wedohave other traditions," Sasakisaid.
"Eating Christmas cakes is an enjoyable custom."
"We also celebrate New Year's just like in America. After Jan. 1, people go to the shrine to pray for health and prosperity. At the most famous shrine in Tokyo during this time of the year, about two million people show up to pray," she said.
custom.
She said that there were two national holidays celebrated in Japan during the Christmas season.
