Weekend retreat for Senate sparks money use debate
By Frank Ybarra
Staff writer
A debate among student senators has risen over a weekend retreat, which David Epstein, student body president, says he scheduled in an effort to help Student Senate work more smoothly.
Two senators said they thought the retreat, which is scheduled for Jan. 25 and 26 at the Double Tree Hotel in Overland Park, was an extravagant use of Student Senate money
The conference, which will feature talks from Chancellor Gene A. Budig, David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, and Caryl Smith, dean of student life, will cost about $2,000, Epstein said.
He said he would not know the exact amount until all of the senators had told him whether they were going.
Martha Aaron, liberal arts and sciences senator, said the retreat was a "gross extravagance" and an all-advised use of Senate money.
said the money should have been spent on improving the computer in the Senate office or on hiring an administrative assistant to help senate.
Tim Henderson, Student Senate treasurer, said the money would
He said that the Senate was allocated money like any other student-supported group and it was free to spend its money as it chose.
come out of the Student Senate office budget.
Epstein said he and Amy Brown, student body vice president, made the final decision on how to spend the money.
The retreat will allow the senators to meet each other and to learn about what Student Senate needs to accomplish, he said.
David Hardy, graduate school senator, said he was going to attend the retreat, but he was weary of spending the money.
Aaron said she also was upset because missing the conference would place two absences on a senator's record which could result in the dismissal from the Senate. For this reason, she said, he would
"I really don't know what's going to happen there," he said. "I'm for it, if we get something done."
For this reason, she said, she would attend the conference.
But Epstein said that a senator who called to tell him he could not attend would be excused from the conference.

Lucy had charged that the university and the state of Alabama had failed to provide her with adequate protection after a riot in which 3,000 white rolters threw rocks at her and threatened her life.
The incident triggered Shaffer and 22 other faculty members to leave the university.
"She was right," Shaffer said. "I was there. I saw the state troopers standing there with their arms folded, not doing a thing."

Oldfather said that he had been interested in civil rights, but was really dragged into the movement by his daughter, Felicia. Felicia was a member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in Albany, Georgia when King was beginning to gain local attention.
Oldfather went to Albany to help his daughter when she was arrested. Although she was charged with vagrancy, Oldfather said she was actually arrested for consorting with blacks.

Dream lives on as injustice continues
By Grant W. Butler
Staff writer
To continue the dream of Martin Luther King Jr., injustice must be fought on all levels, a Lawrence Board of Education member said last night at a panel discussion commemorating King's birthday.
About 65 people attended the panel
"We have to fight what's wrong in our lives, and in doing so we will touch other lives," Alice Fowler, the board of education member, said.
Fowler was a member of the panel that discussed the ongoing process of civil rights in the United States last night in the auditorium of Central Junior High School, 1400 Massachusetts St.
discussion and the movie shown before, "I Have a Dream," sponsored by the Lawrence Black Community Coalition. The movie dealt with King's struggle against racism
Other members of the panel were William Tuttle, professor of history; the Reverend Leo Barbee, pastor of Victory Baptist Church, 445 Lyons St.; and Jacob Gordon, associate professor of African studies.
"Injustice is not confined to one race or creed," Fowler said. "As King said, if one is oppressed, all are oppressed."
Although black people have come a long way in fighting the hatred of the past, Fowler said, prejudices still exist and have become more refined.
Tuttle said King had been as controversial since his death as he was when alive.
King was revolutionary in his speaking out against U.S. policy in Vietnam and the government handling of poverty, Tuttle said. King's talk was too dangerous to be tolerated.
King's vision of America was a glorious one, Tuttle said, but one that has not yet become reality because the government still doesn't completely support equal rights.
Barbee said he didn't think people understood how great the impact of the civil rights movement was.
themselves as the beneficiaries," he said. "Few people really appreciate it.
"We are the recipients of it, and I don't think Americans look at
"Racism is still here, but it's more subtle. We still have prejudice in the schools and churches right here in Lawrence."
The way to cause change is to get involved in the political and educational process, Barbee said. Although black people may never be an authority, he said, through involvement they can appeal to those who are in authority.
Barbee said the creation of a national holiday honoring King was a good idea because it would help inform young people about King's struggle.

Ridiculous facts concerning pizza and its origins...
Very few pizza eaters partake of the delicacy while wearing a bag over their heads...except, however, for one area of rural Toledo where all girls are urged to wear brown sacks until the age of 18 ...and one small town in the wine growing region of italy where everyone is "in the bag."
