University Daily Kansan / Wednesday, March 4. 1987 7 Two coalitions set goals, seek student senators Budget cuts concern Bottom Line Synchronicity emphasizes safe sex Budget cuts concern Bottom Line Synchronicity emphasizes safe sex By ROGER COREY Staff writer Recent budget cuts at the University of Kansas have made it more important than ever for students to have good representation, two candidates for student body offices said yesterday. Jason Krakow, Prairie Village junior, and Stephanie Quincy, Iola junior, announced yesterday that they would run for student body president and vice president with the Bottom Line coalition. Student Senate elections are April 8 and 9. "Stephen and I were on different sides of the political fence," Krakow said. "But we've joined together because we believe there is a difference between politics and government." Krakow is chairman of the Student Senate Executive Committee. Last semester, he was director of Associated Students of Kansas and now he is in his second semester as a student senator. He is a past chairman of the Senate's Minority Affairs Committee. Krakow and Quincy said they were in the process of selecting qualified students to run for positions with their coalition. "We want to shift the emphasis on students setting up new programs to students helping to support existing programs." Quincy said. She said the coalition wanted to establish a grade appeals board to handle student grievances concerning grades. The board would be set up similarly to the student discrimination board, which has a group of faculty and students who listen to grievances. The coalition wants also to increase student input about the new parking areas that have been created by University by the Board of Regents. "The new parking garage that is being planned isn't for the students," Quincv said. The coalition also would try to set up a shuttle bus that would take students to parking areas far from campus. By LISA A. MALONEY Staff writer Two student senators announce their candidacies for student body offices Monday, saying that one of them will be a campaign platform will be prophylactic. Phillip Duff, Columbia, Mo., senior, and Glenn Shirtle, Gloucester, Canada, graduate student, said that if they were elected as student body president and vice president, they would try to provide free condoms and safe-sex information kits to students at registration. Shirltea lived, "We're not trying to use a scare-tactic campaign here. It's a concern that we just can't put off any longer." Duff said that the spread of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome prompted him and Shirtlife to add the kit to their campaign plat form. Shirtliffe said, "We have a responsibility for the health and welfare for our children." Student Senate elections are April 8 and 9. He said he and Duff expected there might be some opposition to their plan from University officials. But he said he had done research on a similar program at Dartmouth College, in Hanover, N.H. The two candidates are running as part of the Synchronicity coalition, which they said also would re-examine the student organizations. Duff said. Duff, an architecture senator, is chairman of the Senate Student Rights Committee. In the fall, he worked on the Senate's Course Source. Shirtliffe, a graduate senator, was the chairman of the Elections Committee in the fall. He said the shortage of parking spaces on campus, especially in residence hall lots, was another issue Synchronicity would want to address. Duff said the coalition would try to break student organizations down into two groups: one for social, cultural and educational organizations; and one for sport, game and other competitive groups. Two assistants to the Senate treasurer would be added to help the student organizations form long-term plans and goals. Duff said. But Shirliffe that blind support for all their proposals wasn't wasteful, looking for in students to run for senator positions with the coalition. Finance committee approves group budgets after cuts By LISA A. MALONEY Safety writing Staff writer The Student Senate Finance Committee approved budgets for four revenue code groups last night after trimming $24,859 from the groups' proposed budgets. Tom Woods, Senate treasurer, told the committee that the Senate had $1,234,000 to allocate but that the 19 revenue code groups' requests had exceeded that amount by about $226.000. The committee reduced the Student Bar Association's budget from a proposed $11,360 to $7,330, by cutting $1,500 from travel fees and more than $2,500 from production costs for the law school newspaper, DICTA. Under Senate rules, the Senate cannot finance any organization's travel expenses, except the Graduate Student Council. But Cindy Lindquist, bar association vice president, said a portion of the association's Senate money always had been used for travel expenses, although it had not been recorded as such. The committee cut a $10,000 request for guest artist fees from KU Bands. Steve Glichermich, committee chairman, told Robert E. Foster, director of bands, that the band would be able to apply for supplemental money later from Senate. KU Bands. James A. Baker, president of the bands, said guest artists were an invaluable part of Only two revenue code groups, KU on Wheels and the Kansan, did not request an increase from their last revenue code allocations. The committee approved the Kansan's request for $109,890 and tabled KU on Wheel's request for $220,000.
