Student leader says goodbye
By Ian Ritter
Kansan staff writer
It wasn't like most Student Senate meetings.
Wednesday's joint Senate meeting, the final meeting of the semester, was highlighted by "Hail to the Chief" blaring over the loudspeakers of the Kansas Union Ballroom and "bodyguards" frantically making way for the former student body president.
Sherman Reeves, former student body president, gave his farewell speech to a crowd of senators waving American flags. Two senators posing as bodyguards and wearing sunglasses cleared the crowd as Reeves made his way to the podium.
"Oh, to be a part of something so noble and so pure," Reeves said during his long, emotionally exaggerated speech.
In the fashion of Richard Nixon, Reeves said farewell, waving both hands in the air as his fingers tightened in the victory signs.
During his speech, Reeves thanked many people involved with Student Senate.
"I've never met a guy with a bigger heart than Eric Medil," he said of the former student body vice president.
"You've been like a mom to me," he said. "You're beautiful, you're what keeps on going."
Reeves praised the secretary of the Senate office, Laura Bellinger.
Reeves wasn't the only person to speak, though.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said that a senator

once asked him what possessed him to go to Senate meetings every other week.
"I think he thought I was probably bored silly." Ambler said. "When in fact, one of the highlights of my weeks is coming to the meetings."
Ambler said that this year's executive branch of Senate was outstanding. He welcomed the new senators and praised David Stevens, Wichita junior, and Stephanie Guerin, Lenexa senior, for running as student body president and vice president with the defeated REAL coalition.
"There's not many students who are willing to do that," he said.
The election was April 12 and 13. Ken Martin, who was chosen to be next year's Student Executive Committee's chairman, praised Reeves' administration.
"Out of the four years I've been here, they've been the best administration — by far," he said.
