KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 2010 / NEWS 5A STUDENT SENATE Students of Liberty endorses Envision BY ANNIE VANGSNES anniev@kansan.com Students of Liberty's former presidential candidate Adam Wood said the coalition's endorsement of Envision was encouraged by the two coalitions' agreement on certain ideals. Wood, a senior from Lawrence, announced Monday that Students of Liberty would not be running candidates this year and instead would endorse Envision. He said he decided Sunday that Students of Liberty, which ran in 2008 and 2009, didn't have enough money or resources to run a campaign this year. Wood said Envision was focusing on a lot of things that Students of Liberty advocated in its elections, such as no increase in student fees. "That's been a major tennet of both times we ran; that's exactly what we said." Wood said. He said he thought this year there was a more cohesive element with Envision than with KUnited. He said he was also more impressed with Envision this year because he thought candidates for Envision last year were running just because United Students made them mad. contact was Thursday. "I told him I would be busy the most of the weekend." Smith said. "It tells us there are other people ... who kind of agree with what we're doing." Wood said another rea- ROSS RINGER Envision presidential candidate "Sunday was the day of KUnited's first big community service project and big campaign meeting before elections started." "It wasn't that I didn't want to talk to Adam, it just didn't happen that weekend," Smith said. and told him he would get back to him as soon as he could. Smith said he thought that if a conversation had happened with Wood, things would have turned out differently and that he was sorry that it didn't. "I respect Adam Wood and the Students of Liberty and the contribution they made in the previous election," Smith said. "They have an outstanding voice and are committed to something not everyone on campus is." Smith said that he respected Students of Liberty's decision to endorse Envision, but that he hoped through the campaign people saw KUinstead wasn't going to hike fees ore try to spend any more money than necessary. Ross Ringer, Envision's presidential candidate and a sophomore from Prairie Village, said the endorsement sent a good message to students and was positive publicity. "It's definitely a compliment to us," Ringer said. "It tells us there are other people, people who we were competing against last year, who kind of agree with what we're doing and also want to help contribute to it." Edited by Kirsten Hudson Alliance wants to increase graduates HIGHER EDUCATION BOISE, Idaho — More than a dozen states have formed an alliance to battle dismal college completion rates and figure out how to get more students to follow through and earn their diplomas. Stan Jones, Indiana's former commissioner for higher education, is leading the effort with about $12 million in startup money from several national nonprofits including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. About one in every two Americans who start college never finish, said Jones, who founded Complete College America, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, last year. The U.S. has focused on access to higher education for the past several decades, and states need to turn their focus toward how many students actually graduate after they get in, even if it means using a funding structure that is based on degree completion instead of attendance, Jones said Tuesday. "It's going to take a substantial amount of work over a substantial amount of time in order to get the kind of improvement we need," he said. The campaign's goal: Make sure 60 percent of adults between the ages of 25 and 35 hold an associate or bachelor's degree by 2020, up from the 38 percent that now claim this status. The benchmark falls in line with President Barack Obama's desire to once again make the U.S. the leader in college attainment by 2020.
