2. SENATE DENIED due process.
Fulcher's complaints
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.
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.
3. A RECALL ELECTION is the only way to remove a student body president, according to the Student Senate Election Code.
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
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.
1. BECAUSE THE MOTION TO REMOVE FULCHER did not affect his status as a student, the code does not apply.
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
University offices find Christmas spirit by giving to needy families
Holiday Bureau adopt-a-family program provides assistance to underprivileged
J. R. Clairborne Special to the Kansan
Administrative offices at the University of Kansas will spread some Christmas cheer to several underprivileged families this year with the help of area charitable agencies and the Holiday Bureau program.
The Holiday Bureau is an adopt-a-family program that assists underprivileged families in Douglas County. Based in Lawrence, the Holiday Bureau program is sponsored by the Ballard Community Center, the Salvation Army, the Indian Center, the Penn House and Help Connection in Eudora. The program asks volunteers and organizations to adopt these families by donating gifts and necessities for the holidays.
Deb Walker, executive secretary in the Chancellor's suite, said that staff members in the office had adopted families for the past three years. Walker said that each family writes a list of their desires and needs and then the staff members list the gifts they will donate.
"Some people donate money, and we take it and buy gift certificates from grocery stores, Penney's or whatever the family needs," Walker said.
She said that the program was chosen as an alternative to their usual office Christmas
gift exchange because they felt their exchange wasn't the real meaning of Christmas.
Walker said that the staff in the Chancellor's suite had always adopted a single-parent family. Last year, the office had a family with several children and a single mother.
Carolyn Lang of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences office said that this year would be the office's fourth year of participation in the Holiday Bureau. Lang, who coordinates the office effort, said that staff members were given three weeks to bring in their donations of clothing, toys, gift and food.
"Some of the deans donate money." Lang said. "Then I go out and buy everything else."
Llang said that the office always asked for single-parent families where only the mother was present because they seemed to have a more difficult time surviving. Two years ago, the office had a family with a single mother and five kids.
Ann Kratz, processing supervisor at the office of admissions, said that this would be the second year the office of admissions adopted a family. The program was introduced there as an alternative to their traditional inner-office gift exchange.
"The office enjoyed it so much the first time, we decided to do it again," Kratz said.
"This year we know interests as well as the ages of the kids and what they asked for. One likes dolls and one likes art things."
Irene Falvey, Ballard Center administrative assistant, said that the Holiday Bureau depends solely on contributions from the community and KU donors.
"Clients bring in verification of their income and the Social Security Card of each family member, then fill out a holiday request form." Falvev said.
The request forms ask families for specific information such as family size, age and sex of each member, clothing and shoe sizes and items needed or desired for Christmas. The applications are then numbered for distribution among donors. The names of the families are kept confidential and released only with the families consent.
Last year, the Holiday Bureau served 975 families, Falvey said. The Ballard Center served approximately 200 of those families and expect even more this year.
Since applications are available at four locations in Lawrence and one outside Lawrence, all applications are put on a central computer file at the Red Cross office and double-checked to guard against duplicate applications, Windham said.
The Salvation Army helped 525 families through the Holiday Bureau last year, Capt. George Windham, director of the Salvation Army Shelter, said. This year they expect more than 600 families because of the overflow applications they absorb from the other agencies.
Once everything is verified, letters are sent to previous and potential donors to solicit their participation. If the donors accept, they are paired with a family and given that family's holiday wish list.
There are two stipulations the donors have:
no alcoholic or perishable gifts can be given and each child should receive one new toy and one new article of clothing.
"It's the hardest thing in the world to have to face a kid on Christmas morning and say 'There's nothing for Christmas 'That hurts,' Windham said.
Windham said that the most rewarding thing about helping people was receiving thank you notes from families they have helped each year.
He said that this type of help and happiness could be continued with the aid of the community.
"We'd like all the help and support of the community," he said. "We need all the help we can get."
