Student body leader vows to veto budget amended by Senate Krakow objects 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 veto it," Krakaw 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.
"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 oars.
"They not only bring good times and an education, but they bring recognition to the University," he said.
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.
"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."
Roger Templin, Nunemaker senator,
noted the amount of money KU C
paymen in New York.
"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."

Vanna
Glitter, glamour and too much glare

One brief moment in the glittery and glamorous world of Vanna White, and already, my heart had been steamed into rapid culture hail.
The only obstacles between ecstasy and consonant heaven were two Topeka businessmen skipping work, three screaming teen-agers and a housewife with a crying baby. Opportunity knocks only once, and my door had been off its hinges for three years. My time had arrived.
After years of research, Wheel-watching and vowel-buying madness. I was only nine feet away from the world's fastest and most prolific letter-turner.

At that moment, I knew that all other letter-turners in the world daring to wear the sacred sequins were only wasted facsimiles. Taking a deep breath, I stepped up, shook hands and introduced myself to the woman I had thought of as the good witch of the North, the tooth fairy and my mother all rolled into one.
Vanna, clad in a blue chiffon-looking evening dress, signed an autograph for me and smiled. I smiled back. The photographer smiled. Everyone was smiling. The security guard scratched his leg.

Thousands of questions roared through my head. What should I ask the woman who makes more money in a week than I'll make in two lifetimes and turned lights letters for a living? My mouth agape, I spit out the question, "How do you like Kan-
