Ellsworth gives talent a chance to show off
by Michele Logan Kansan staff writer

The show, called "Paint on the Wall," was organized by the hall's assistant resident directors.
Competition was divided into two categories - by group and by floors.
The first-place winner for the group competition was James Canada, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, and Andy Lee. Lenexah freshman, for a rap song they performed called "Rap." They received a $100 gift certificate from Kief's Records.
Second place was awarded to Stu Sankra, Prairie Village junior, for his rendition in sign language for the Mirror's "Baby Bouncer" to the Mirror." Sanks received a $50 gift
certificate from Kief's Records.
The sixth floor took first place in the floor competition for performing "In the Jungle," a song accompanied by hula dancers in the background. They received free pizzas.
The prizes were paid for by Kief's Records and from the hall's academic resource center and hall government funds.
Sanks said that he wanted to do sign language to a song, and "Man in the Mirror" translated well.
Jean Morrow, assistant director of residence life and one of the judges, said that she judged the performance showmanship and audience appeal.
About 100 hall residents showed up for the event, which included piano solos, a heavy metal rock band and a between-acts magic show

The Oliver Hall student government organized the forum for the six presidential candidates and one on March 18, 2014.
"We thought it would be beneficial for the students to have some sort of exposure to the issues," said Dan Simon, president of Oliver Hall and organizer of the event.
Brian Wika, Olathe junior and independent candidate, said tuition was his biggest concern.
"You can't just take classes for fun," Wilka said. "You have to worry about tuition. A great deal of a college education is taking classes just for the heck of it. People need a broad education."
Wika said he would appeal to the taxpayers to offset the cut in tuition he was proposing.
"I'll just go to the governor and the taxpayers and sav. I just too much." Wika said.
Ken Babcock, On Track presidential candidate and Wheatonian junior, said that creating an international center on campus was a high priority for him. "The fact that it was high on the administration's priority list
"Financing for the building would not come out of Student Senate money. It would be impossible."
Babcock said. "That's why we want to get financing from the administration and work with them."
"Everyone is in different living groups, and everyone is in different schools," Sanders said. "We have one bond that pulls us together. We're all Jayhawks. We want to have a Jayhawk Fest, with bands, maybe on campus, that all the students can participate in."
Scott Hedrick, Certain Impact presidential candidate to lobby Congress about environmental issues.
"We want to set up an organization similar to ASK." Hedrick said. "We want to start a lobby group for environmental issues. Students can be a part of that." He also said the congressmen that these are important issues."
B. Jake White, Common Cause presidential candidate and North Platte, Neb., junior, was asked who would finance his proposed "University 101" class. It would be an elective for freshmen to learn what the University offered in classes and how to improve study habits.
"We will not be using your Student Senate money to fund the class," White said. "We can't do that."
to help plan it."
Beth Skinner, The Answer vice-presidential candidate and Garden City junior, came in place of Amy Baker, Wichita junior, the presidential candidate.
Skinner said students needed a responsible government.
"I know there are a lot of frustrated people who don't know their representatives," Skinner said. "We would put a list of student senators in the directory, so the senators will be accessible."
Skinner said she was not worried about her lack of Student Senate experience.
"There are senators in Student Senate right now who fly paper airplanes and throw spitballs during meetings," Skinner said. "The important thing is that we're not those senators."
Bryan Swan, Progressive Idealist presidential candidate and Topeka junior, said that he had not usually gotten involved before but that he felt the candidates were important enough this time to get involved.
"The details of rules and regulations are not really my main concern." Swan said. "Solving problems is my main concern. I think it's good that I haven't been in power looking down on people. I've been looking up to the people in power, as an ordinary student."
