Senate tables vacancy bill, OKs publishing prof guide
By a Kansan reporter
Student Senate tabled a bill last night that would have changed the procedure for filling vacancies in the Senate.
The bill would allow the elections committee to choose replacement senators from a pool made up of the student body president's nominees, election committee nominees, and candidates who did not obtain a seat in the previous election.
The current procedure awards the Senate position to runners-up in the previous election, with no additional candidates considered.
Amy Brown, student body vice president, said before the meeting that the new bill would make it easier to fulfill platform promises.
Brown said that under present pro
cedures, by the end of the term. Senate positions could be filled by senators from the previously opposing coalition.
"Then you're trying to fulfill platform promises with senators who are former opponents," Brown said.
Stephanie Quincy, Student Senate Executive Committee chairman and an author of the bill, said it would allow the Senate to make wiser decisions about vacant Senate positions.
"This is not a coalition-against-coalition issue," Quincy said.
In other Senate business, a resolution was passed approving the publication of a KU guide to professors. Professors would submit a list of requirements for the classes they teach.
Also, $1,800 was allotted to the Malaysian Student Association.
Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, said, "Dr. Mills is a first-class human being."
Rose said Dole liked to help Kansas by appointing qualified Kansans to government positions.
J. B. Conroy, executive director of the council, said that in the past the president made all nominations, which then were confirmed by the Senate.
Aging Continued from p.1
In 1984, an amendment to the Older Americans Act of 1973 gave the president, Senate and House of Representatives the power to nominate members, Conroy said. Each is responsible for appointing one-third of the fifteen council members.
Now, he said, the appointment becomes official as soon as the nomination is made. However, the president still appoints the chairman
of the council.
Mills will serve on the council for three years. He and the 14 other council members, Conroy said, will advise and make recommendations to the president and Congress.
During the two-day meeting, Mills said, the council gathered information for their work in the coming year. Otsie Bowen, the new Secretary of Health and Human Services, told
the council of his concerns about the elderly getting insurance for catastrophic illnesses, he said.
Docking
Mills appointment to the council is a positive reflection on him and the University, KU administrators said.
"He will do an excellent job on the Federal Council on the Aging, and provide important input for the president and for federal agencies," said Budig.

David Berkowitz, chairman of the Douglas County Democratic Party, said he was pleased with the turnout at the Lawrence announcement and said he thought a good cross-section of people were represented.
Docking has been Lt. Governor under Gov. John Carlin since 1983. He is a practicing lawyer and a
full partner at the Wichita law firm of Regan and McGannon.
The only other Democrat known to be considering a bid for the gubernatorial nomination is Joan Finney, state treasurer. Finney said last week she was still studying the race and had no timetable for making a decision.
So far, two Republicans have declared their candidacies for the GOP nomination - House Speaker Mike Hayden, R-Atwood, and Larry Jones, a Wichita businessman.
