Student body leader vows to veto budget amended by Senate
Krakow objects for $1,600 for Crew
By Jeff Moberg

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 will veto it," Kraak 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. Krakel 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 oars.
"They not only bring good times and an education, but they bring recognition to the University," he said.
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.
"If this goes through, they are going to walk out of here with one-fourth of the budget," Shirtlife said. "They really have some problem with that."
Roger Templin, Nunemaker senator, noted the amount of money KU Crew had received in the past.
"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."
