KUNITED: Study-abroad referendum fails
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Seat after seat went to KUnited, each announcement bringing a round of cheers. In all, KUnited won 48 of the 59 Senate seats filled, or 81 percent.
Jon Cornish, New Westminster,
British Columbia, Canada, sophomore,
won a freshman/sophomore CLAS seat. He said he was just living the moment, but it didn't take long for him to come up with a
goal for next year.
governer hootily, "I'm going to try and get a seat for the Towers, get that passed," Cornish said.
Several KUINED candidates praised Munch and Dunlap for their charisma and work ethic.
"This guy's the reason I've been in this," Ryan Faulconer, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior, sald, putting his arm around Dunlap. "I've known him since I was a freshman and I really believe in him."
Faulconer served as the Finance Committee chairman this year and won a seat as a junior/senior CLAS senator for next year.
Dunlap gave credit to the KUined candidates for their work and said he wished they could have had their announcements sooner.
"We've got to figure out something for next year about how to better announce the results," Dunlap said.
After a slew of candidates embraced Munch and messed up his champagne-soaked hair, he sought out his sister, Katy, Bellevue, Neb., senior, in the crowd.
The two hugged tightly, the tears on Katy's face mingling with the champagne dripping down Steve's face, which was sunburned from days of campaigning outside.
Andy Knopp, student body president, ran with KUnited last year and said Munch and Dunnlap campaigned with passion and vision.
"I was amazed by their energy and I'm really proud of them," Knop said.
A referendum that Knopp co-wrote failed by a narrow vote of 51 percent to 49 percent. It would have started a $4 per semester student fee for study abroad scholarships
Ashlee Reid, junior/senior CLAS senator, was another of the referendum's co-writers. She and Knopp both said they were disappointed it failed, but were glad students got to vote on it.
"Most referendums pass by overwhelming percentages, but I'm definitely happy that students are reading them and not just putting yes," Reid said.
The two other referendums on the ballot passed by wide margins. One will allow students to vote online from any computer next year and the other will add $1 per semester to the campus environmental fee.

DELTA FORCE: Group looks toward future
CONTINUED FROM 1A
"I guess it shows how important Student Senate is to the rest of the body when they don't even play it," said Stephanie Craig, Edmond, Okla., sophomore. "This is all we've done for the past five months."
When the initial disappointment wore off, Delta Force coali
tion members looked toward the future of their group and the strides it made in this year's election push, focusing on the bright spots of an otherwise unfortunate night.
Anna Gregory, Topeka senior, said she felt this year was a breakthrough year for the coalition.
"The valley was last year," Gregory said. "We're heading up the
hill."
Brian Thomas, Plano, Texas, senior, said that it was the little victories that were most important, rather than the presidential nod.
"If we're going to get people in, I'd rather get the dozen that are going to do something than the 50 who aren't," Thomas said. "We've learned after eight years to take
"It's the most impressive campaign I've seen in four years," Longpine said. "It's a machine; you can't beat it."
As the party wound down,
members of the coalition huddled
pride in the little victories."
Tyler Longpine, Hays junior, said that despite the loss, Delta Force coalition members were quick to compliment KUNited on a successful campaign.
and exchanged their thoughts on the election.
Kristan Seibel, Hays junior, said one of the main reasons she stayed as a member of Delta Force was the strong freshman presence in the coalition.
They joined arms in a group hug while reflecting on the year that was and looking ahead to the years to come.
"I was one of the biggest cynics.
but the potential of our freshman, their energy and vibrancy kept me going." Seibel said. "We believe we can change things."
Although disappointed, David Barrett, Carbondale, III., junior, agreed.
"There's a lot of potential still out there," Barrett said. "Plus, we still throw the best parties."
