Walters said he also was surprised by the results.
Constance, who received 2,331 votes, said he would have liked to finish in the top three.
"Incumbency is normally an advantage, but you have to prove yourself every time," Constance said.
Constance, residence hall manager at Oliver Hall, said that he thought he had done a good job on the commission so far and that he wanted to find out what issue caused his four-place finish.
Francisco, who received 2.133 votes, said she would be focusing on more specific issues and talking to more people for the next five weeks.
"It's not going to be enough anymore to just say yes or no." said Francisco, an assistant director of facilities planning at KU.

Trees on Kansas River to be cut today

make a difference."
Under the U.S. Constitution, federal courts only have jurisdiction over cases in which two parties are in conflict, said Robert Glicksman, professor of law.
He said that if members of POET had come around and insulted personally were harmed, they might have been punished.
David Longhurst, local representative of the David Group, in the perch trees probably would be drawn to this habitat.
"It's a nonsense issue anyway," Longhurst said. "I don't think this was done out of concern for the environment. It was done to stop construction of the project."
Eye said POET had sought to obtain a temporary restraining order to keep the Chelsea Group from cutting down the trees until alternatives for construction had been considered and until the
Department of the Interior and the Environmental Protection Agency had assessed the area.
Ronel Finley, state supervisor for fish and wildlife enhancement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said his agency had studied the effects the project would have on the eagles.
"Our study recommended that the developers comply with certain recommendations, and they did not."
Those recommendations' include guaranteeing that a stand of trees on each side of the riverbank remain undisturbed and that people not be allowed to walk or sit on the riverbank. In February, months when the eagles are feeding.
an area of trees will not be disturbed."
"I don't think anyone knows for sure what effect the project will have on the eagles," said Joyce Baird, conservation chairman of Jeyhawk Audubon and the last one in line to pass run, but in the long term we have guarantees that
But Wolf said she was concerned that not all the open areas on the south side of the riverbank were guaranteed to remain undeveloped. She said the issue would be meeting later this week to discuss the issue.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the
Kansas Corps of Engineers also did impact assess-
ments on the project.
"In my opinion, we as a City Commission have gone as far as any public body could go to make sure the project would not harm the eagles," he said.
Bob Schumm, Lawrence mayor, said the city had done its part.
Eye said he had not been able to give the defendants 60 days notice of the lawsuit because the suit was not filed until he found out when the trees would be cut down.

Lisa Thompson, BSU corresponding secretary, said the free speech forum a year ago at KU that included the Ku Klux Klan was an indication that the University community was insensitive to minority concerns.
visual evidence, that minority students are more welcome in campus life." Ambler said. "I see more minority students associating with non-minorities."
But Kellie Paris, president of the Black Student Union, disagreed.
"It definitely hasn't gotten better," she said. "To me, it's more covered up. They try to sweep it under the table, but sometimes I want it here. I'm very low-yie. cover."
Thompson said the organization was upset when they received word on the forum.
Ambler she cared about how the forum affected minority students. He wore a red ribbon distributed by Students and Community Against Oppression and Racism to protest the Klan's beliefs.
"I wanted the students to know that this person found what they (the Klan) stood for was reprehensible." But "I said 'But I truly believe that a lot of learning goes on when students have a chance to see that here are indeed those people who have those beliefs."
The free speech forum inspired the establishment of the Minority Task Force to examine situations affecting KU's minority community. Its report, completed seven months later, said KU needed more minority students and faculty members and a environment for minority students
Green said she was encouraged by the task force.
"I have faith in it," she said. "I think that an honest effort is being made. The fact they have even made an attempt as a stepping stone."
But Sean DeBardelaben, Chicago senior, disagreed.
"It's mostly rhetoric," he said. "What's happened since this report? I can write a report."
Reginald Robinson, associate professor of law and member of the task force, said the task force's success depends on the implementation of the report.
"I think it's a good first step," said
Robinson, who is black. "The thing it does that other reports haven't done is provide for implementation. It will actually be improvements."
Ambler said KU needed minority student leaders like Robinson, who served as student body vice president in 1978-79.
"Since that time, no minority, racial or ethnic student has been a major campus leader," Ambler said. "We want students to steps to ensure that minority students have an opportunity to participate in student leadership positions."
Brook Meenes, student body president, agreed.
"A message I have to black students on this campus is try to get involved in leadership positions or organizations on this campus," he said. "It seems to be the most effective way to improve relations on this campus."
Meenes is chairman of a grassroots student campaign to celebrate cultural diversity at KU and bring students together through activities
"I hope it will continue until, idealization, this place is rid of prejudice, the situation is in our want to change himself, at our student level, we have to work together."
Paris, who helped plan the celebration of diversity, said she appreciated Menees's efforts to reach out to minority students.
"Brook Menees is committed to fairness and he sympathizes with the plight of minority organizations on this campus, 'Paul said. But as far as I know, the members concerned, some members are responsible and some are biased.'
Paris said the relationship between BSU and the Student Senate was strained because Senate had tentatively allocated $4,945 in financing to BSU, $4,600 less than requested. BSU received $2, 023 years ago.
Aaron Rittman, a member of the finance committee and president of Hillel, a Jewish organization, said that he was thanked for than it had available to allocate
Ambler said KU needed to be more sensitive to minority students.
"Every group had to be prepared for cuts," he said. "We were looking at wants versus needs."
"I'm sometimes overwhelmed by the task that's ahead of us," he said. "Changing the laws in the 1960s was a piece of cake compared to what we're trying to do now — that's changing hearts and minds."
