The three Student Senate elections coalitions filed their final audits for campaign spending Thursday night, said Tom Moore, elections committee co-chairman.
According to the audit forms filled out by each coalition's treasurer, the Bottom Line coalition spent $1,109.10.
First Class spent $907.62 and Synchronicity spent $827.
Coalition spending limits are set according to the number of senators running on each coalition. A full coalition of 51 senators, such as Bottom Line, was allowed to spend $1,152.69, Moore said. The First Class candidates, with a limit of 4 candidates, had a spending limit of Synchronicity, with 26 senatorial candidates, was allowed to spend $962.
Final audit amounts are not official until the elections committee analyzes them today, said Vic Osmolak, election committee co-chairman.
All three coilitions were required to file a final audit covering all expenditures by 5 p.m. Thursday, Moore said. Initial audits, which were filed April 3, list all coalition expenditures from the beginning of the campaigns to March 31.
Moore said the elections committee toe had no complaints with the three candidates.
Today is the last day for coilitions to file requests for recounts of the ballots. Moore said two coilitions have been filed for recounts of certain school seats.
"Usually, the coalitions don't ask for a recount of the whole election, just individual voting categories," he said.
Jason Krakow, student body president-elect, said his coalition, Bottom Line, would file for a account of the races because he seats because the races were closer.
Phillip Duff, Synchronicity's presidential candidate, said, "If you go back and look at last year's race, there were several changes after the
Duff said his coalition would file for recounts of the architecture and non-traditional seats.
Brian Kramer, First Class vice presidential candidate, said that he and Jeff Mullins, First Class presidential candidate, hadn't decided yet whether they would ask for a recount.

SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. - Substantial losses for Farm Credit Services of Omaha in 1986, though lower than losses in 1985, are expected to decrease in 1987, said the Omaha district's president.
James D. Kirk, named district president in January, said he expects FCS of Omaha to earn a profit by 1990. Kirk said he saw substantially optimism among agricultural leaders this year than in the recent past.
"New loan activity is ready pouring up," Kirk said Friday. "We see a lot of genuine optimism out there, and those things are moving in a positive direction."
Kirk attributed the optimism to several factors, including stabilization of farmhand prices, increased demand for farmwork and minor increases in farm income.
For Farm Credit Services members-borrowers, a resolution passed Wednesday in the U.S. Senate points toward improved stock security.

To start the night off, the members introduced themselves. Then they broke up into three groups to make
Mary Padilla was a little nervous.
Mary Padilla was a little nervous. She wanted everything to go just right. Padilla, Overland Park junior and president of the Hispanic-American Leadership Organization, and President of the NAACP, is actively supportive for the all-night retreat Friday at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1294 Oread Ave
The "cultural retreat" was the first of its kind for HALO, a support group for Hispanic students. The retreat started at 10 p.m. Friday and finished about 7 a.m. Saturday.
Although the students knew each other's names and majors, the retreat was designed to give them the freedom to explore their selves in a supportive environment.
The goal of the retreat was to provide different activities that would allow the 15 people attending to each other and share goals and ideas.
posters revealing more of their personalities. Next they watched a film, "The Salt of the Earth," about male/female Hispanic roles.
Padilla said HALO encouraged a college education to Hispanic students in high school because many of them thought that college would be too hard. HALO's most important function is to help high school students once they've decided to attend KU.
HALO tries to help Hispanics develop leadership skills. Group members attend conferences and seminars to strengthen the group and improve leadership. The officers receive information about scholarships, which they pass on to members.
MECHA preceded HALO as the Hispanic student organization on campus. MECHA, which has been at KU since the '70s, was basically a dead organization until about 12 Hispanic students decided last spring to
"The most important thing is that we're here to help them out." Padila said.
The students involved in HALO said that they were proud of their heritage and that they found the group a good way to keep that heritage alive. Not all the students are Mexican-Americans. Some of the members are from Cuban-American, Peruvian-American and Colombian-American families.
revive it. They changed the name from MECHA to HALO
Since then, its small membership has doubled and it has elected officers and passed a new set of bylaws. Members have begun work on a brochure and newsletters.
With about 350 Hispanic students attending KU, Padilla has hopes that the group will continue to grow. After the office of minority affairs did a mailing on behalf of HALO to all KU Hispanics, Padilla said HALO received 90 response letters.
Although it don't have 90 active members, HALO does keep the people who responded to the letter informed about the group's activities through mailings and, starting this month, a newsletter.
