CSHE may survive despite critics, ASK
By CAROL BEIER Staff Reporter
Student lobby organizations evidently die hard, and opponents of Concerned Students for Higher Education are about to find that out.
Although GSE has been upstaged by KU's membership in the Associated Students of Kansas during the past year, several students have said KU still has a need for GSE's representation in the Kansas Legislature.
ASK has seven member schools, six of the Regents institutions and Washburn University. After two nights of heated debate last week, the Senate renamed KU's membership in ASK at a cost of $9,150. The membership dues are 25 cents a student. The senate is responsible for representing KU on student issues specifically related to this University.
ACCORDING TO Steve Young, KU member of the ASK board of directors, KU must get permission from representatives of all the other ASK schools before the lobby group can take an official position on an issue specifically related to KU.
For instance, there was no official ASK action on the controversial House reappropriation bill.
Young said, however, that he doubted the effectiveness of CSHE. Other ASK supporters have referred to a poll conducted by Mike Harper, former student body president, that indicated that more state legislators were familiar with ASK than with CSHE.
ROB GREEN, former chairman of CSHE, said the poll was not indicative of CSHE's effectiveness because the two organizations operated under different philosophies.
legislative session. The bill re-drew district lips and split the KU student vote.
"The poll was so idiotic," Green said. "There is a contrast in styles, CSHE is not a name-recognition lobby. The reasoning is that people name, so we must be doing some good."
Green said CSHE encouraged student contact with home legislators on an individual and personal basis, whereas ASK worked through an executive director in Topoka the director, Green said, professors were more than 70,000 Kansas college students.
say that for ASK," Green said, "because most students don't even know what ASK is. The big thing is that someone cares, because he is getting a salary.
"The best lobby is enlightened self-esteem. The most effective contacts are adults."
But Green spoke in favor of ASK membership at last week in his Student Senate meeting. He said the lobby organizations could coexist at KU without CSHE's straining. Some student senators were not so optimistic.
"ESSENTIALLY THAT'S a lie when you
"The people who represent ASK here will wind up with their feet on CSHE's throat," trust.
TOMLINSON SAID Friday that he intended to continue his support of CSHE and that he had been working on a proposal that would govern Senate governance over both lobby groups.
Bob Tomlinson, education senator, said last week.
The breakdown of interest in CSHE resulted in removal of funding for fiscal 1980 by Keith Maib, Student Senate treasurer. Maib described the organization as defunct$. The said CSHED had not spent on the $57.7 that was allocated to it last year.
When CSHE was founded in 1971, it did not
receive Student Senate money. The group was allocated Student Senate funds for the first time during the 1977-78 administration, and continued covering from its first period of inactivity.
ITS PRESENT DECLINE is attributed by some critics to a lack of leadership. Ron Allen, CSHE chairman, left school after he enrolled in the student body president, race in February.
"Once Ron ran for president," Green said, "that was that."
Allen said Friday that he thought CSHE should be revived as a part of ASK.
"I'd like to see CSHE work under the ban.
per of RU but united with the overall lobby effort." Allen said.
George Gomez, student body vice president, said members of CSHE would be appointed after budget hearings were completed this week.
"I think the sentiment is and we will keep it alive. We may incorporate it into our curriculum."
Mark McClannah, Nunemaker 2 senator, has applied for CSHE chairman. During last week's debates he also said, "KU needs two lobby groups."
In fact, it seems KU is going to have two lobby groups, needed or not.
