Student body leader vows to veto budget amended by Senate Krakow obiects for $1,600 for Crew

Student body president Jason Krakow last night vowed to veto any budget that contained additional money for the KU Crew.
"If this is the only capital expenditure request made, I don't think it's a sound budget and I've veto it," Krakw said during a special budget session of Student Senate. "It's not consistent."
Senate last night amended the Senate Finance Committee's proposed budget and voted to give KU Crew an additional $1,600 to buy a set of eight oars. The committee's original recommendation called for KU Crew to receive $7,875. Krakow said it would not be fair to other student organizations to give only the crew team money for capital expenses.
Krakow also objected to KU Crew's
"Obviously, that was not the case," Krakow said. "I thought they would stick to what they said last year with a good faith agreement."
Earlier in the evening, John Cissel, liberal arts senator, made a motion to restore a request from KU Crew that would have used Senate money to buy a four-man shell costing $8.200. This request was denied by the Finance Committee during budget hearings because the committee was hesitant to finance any large expenditure unless it was necessary for a group's survival.
Cissell said that KU Crew deserved the new shell as well as the set of

David Brandt, KU Crew captain.
Glenn Shirtliffe, Finance Committee chairman, said that the Senate should not finance the shell because of the cost and because KU Crew needed to plan for future expenditures.
Roger Templin, Nunemaker senator, noted the amount of money KU Crew had received in the past.
"If this goes through, they are going to walk out of here with one-fourth of the budget," Shirtliffe said. "I really have some problem with that."
"We do have a fixed amount of money and there will be future requests," Templin said. "The question for this body to decide is whether they want to spend that much on one organization, especially with the large amounts we've spent in the past."

lans to defy pulpit ban
Treeby said that the national Presbytery might dismiss Swaggart from the denomination if he resumed preaching May 22 but that Swaggart could appeal that.
Julene Turnage, a spokeswoman for the national office of the Assemblies of God in Springfield, Mo., said Swaggart's option to return after three months "does not exist anymore."
"The General Presbytery overwhelmingly and without a dissenting vote affirmed the authority of the Executive Presbytery to make decisions on matters concerning ministerial credentials," she said yesterday.
Although the 13-member Executive Presbytery, which acts as the church board of directors, interrupted its regular bimonthly meeting to watch Treebury's televised news conference, "We don't consider that we've heard from Jimmy Swaggart, because we don't communicate through television news conferences with our disciplined ministers," Turnage said.
The Rev. G. Raymond Carlson, the Assemblies' general superintendent, said Tuesday that if Swaggart did not accept its ruling, "the Executive Presbytery would to doubt take action to dismiss him."
Asked if Swaggart had considered leaving the Assemblies, Freeby said, "He is considering his possibility of an appeal.
