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
Holiday season means tests and stress for KU students
By Hale Sheppard Special to the Kansan
Special to the Kansan
Throughout history, the holiday season has been a time for relaxing and spending free time with family and friends. But for many KU students, it is not the season to be jolly.
Stress is the grinch that steals students pre-holiday ferry. Term papers and final exams loom, final projects are due, decisions about the next semester need to be made, and shopping for relatives adds pressure.
"I just don't have enough time to do it all." Dierck Coneborn. Overland Park junior, said.
While parents and younger brothers and sisters are at home decorating the tree or preparing holiday snacks, many students are agonizing during the first weeks of December. Sleeping and healthy eating may take a back seat to studying.
Charles Yockey, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that the hospital usually sees a substantial increase in the number of sick students late in the semester.
"Bronchitis, stomach ulcers, skin rashes and insomnia are common problems," he said.
Yockey warned students to take good care of their bodies despite heavy workloads and other holiday pressures.
*I recommend exercising aerobically at least three times a week, sleeping on a set schedule, eating well-balanced meals and
decreasing alcohol intake, "Yockey said.
Brad Unruh, Hutchinson junior, said, "I usually end up spending a lot of money on Cokes, Vivarin and NyQuil. Intramurals and over-the-counter drugs are the only things that keep me going."
rests often overlap in the last few weeks of class, and final exams occasionally are scheduled for the same day.
"It's too bad that a lot of tests in different departments seem to fall on a given week," said Shawn Trimble, graduate teaching assistant in religious studies.
Some exam schedules are determined departmentally. Coordinators for the Spanish department said foreign language courses had prescheduled finals because of the number of students.
Krystal Holz, graduate teaching assistant in Spanish and Portuguese, said teachers had no control over exam times.
"The department head schedules the exams around major obstacles and just hopes for the best," she said. "It's difficult to please everybody considering there are hundreds of students in one Spanish course."
Yockey said students' grades often were related to their health.
If students don't take care of themselves at this point in the year, the side effects can be severe. Students often get run down and sick, which causes them to perform poorly in school," he said.
Salvation Army asks for more volunteers during holiday season
By Neila Young Special to the Kansan
The Salvation Army Homeless Shelter is seeking volunteers to help with Christmas activities.
Jim McDonald, shelter supervisor, said the number of homeless people in the shelter this year had increased substantially since last year.
McDonald said that mostly single men seek help from the shelter. The largest number of people who lived in the shelter last year was 33. That number already has been surpassed this year and an average of 35 to 50 people a night are expected for the holidays.
McDonald said that the community had responded well, bringing in blankets, donations, coffee and cups. However, McDonald said volunteers were always needed.
"There are a lot more homeless people in Lawrence than people realize," McDonald said. "Being homeless is a pretty scary deal. It's good to have volunteers because it makes the people feel accepted."
McDonald said that the shelter welcomed help from KU students. He said that students had volunteered in the past and had always been appreciated.
"A lot of people look down on college students and think they're wild," McDonald said. "Those people don't see the side I see. There have been KU groups and organizations in the past that have done some special programs for us, and there have also been a lot of student volunteers. Their help is always needed and appreciated."
McDonald said that the shelter offered training sessions about every two weeks for people who wanted to volunteer.
Windham said that the shelter planned to have a party Christmas eve that would only be open to those who stayed at the shelter. Gift packets will be given out and carols will be sung.
"We need volunteers for just about everything," he said. "We need people to help cook, set things up and to visit with the people. Volunteers can work as long as they want. Any time is appreciated."
Capt. Violet Windham, who helps run the shelter with her husband, said that more volunteers were needed for Christmas.
The Christmas dinner at the shelter will be at noon on Dec. 23. This dinner is open to anyone.
Windham encouraged people to bring in blankets or canned food and to volunteer time at the shelter to make this a nice Christmas for the less fortunate.
