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.
Crowds flock to Plaza to view holiday lights
Store merchants report increases in Christmas sales
By Alan Reeves Special to the Kansan
The lights at the Kansas City Country Club Plaza attract hundreds of thousands of sightseers each year. But the 175,000 lights make holiday sales for Plaza merchants even brighter.
The lighting ceremony on Thanksgiving night draws close to 300,000 people. Plaza stores extend their hours to take advantage of the nighttime sightseers.
Marnie Dodson, Amarillo, Texas, sophomore, and her family go to the Plaza every year.
"Both sides of my family meet in Kansas City every year during Thanksgiving and all 40 of us go to the Plaza to watch to lights and go shopping," she said. "It generates such a great feeling for the holidays."
Stephanie Abramson, sales clerk at Abercrombie and Fitch, said, "As soon as the lights are on, people make it a reason to be here. There's a kind of magic, like a winter wonderland."
Diane Dixon, who works for the Plaza Merchants Association, said she received many calls from people who wanted shopping and sibu-tseeing tours organized.
Dixon said it usually took workers three
months to hang the lights and a little less time to take them down. The lights hang on hooks which remain on the buildings all year.
Linda Chamberlain, sales clerk for The Nature Company, said people come in from all across the midwest to see the lights and to shop.
Started in 1925 by Charles Pitrat of the J.C. Nichols Company, the lights grew from a single strand hung under the Millcreek Building to more than 60 miles of wire. The lights have been hung every year since then, except for four years during World War II.
Although the lights will remain on until Jan. 18, the majority of sales occur before Christmas.
Bob Millner, manager of Sharper Image, said, "Compared to other Sharper Image franchises, our store is one of the better Christmas stores."
Millner attributed this to the attention attracted by the lights.
Abramson said that in five years working on the Plaza she had always noticed a big increase of shoppers after the lights had been turned on. She said that people came to the Plaza to look at the lights but ended up staying and shopping.
