First, it assumes that the Events Committee isn't already under the Senate's jurisdiction. In the resolution passed by the Senate Sept. 22 and which I wrote, the Senate pointed out that the Events Committee's authority comes from the Senate and is specifically provided for in the Senate's Rules and Regulations. Although some people said that there were cancellor's directives that also provided the Events Committee's authority, none was found during the investigation. Second, it assumes that the proposed legislation would change the number of staff members in the university; it would restore the original number of members: nine students and five faculty or staff members. This was the number of students and faculty Regulations, and it wouldn't be changed. The executive vice chancellor has taken it upon himself to appoint additional faculty-staff members to the committee. The proposed legislation would once again make student members the voting majority, because any member in addition to the nine students and five faculty-staff members specified would have no vote. This is as it should be. The committee decides what events may take place on campus, and 90 per cent or more of the requests are from students. Students should form a majority of the group deciding those requests. the KU Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct states: "Authority for the promulgation of rules conduct resides in the Student Senate." Third, it assumes the Senate will constantly be second-guessing the Events Committee and changing its decisions. No such proposal is being made. The proposed legislation would require Senate approval of the committee's rules of procedure—its guidelines on how to decide requests—not of its individual decisions. That phrase is clear: students, and students alone, have that power. But although the Senate wouldn't be overruling individual decisions, the executive vice chancellor can now influence the committee's actions greatly. When he sent him a letter asking them to reconsider their denial to grant permission for the Big Blue homecoming rally in front of Strong on Thursday, they reconsidered, and it passed the request. Finally, the writer assumes that the 14 faculty-staff members now on the committee are all needed because of constant requests dealing with areas of those members' expertise. Sure, that's true for the representative from the Building and Grounds and KU Police Departments. But what about the representative of the other women's and dean of women's offices? Or most of the other 14 faculty-staff members? Most of them can be consulted once a semester when an issue in their "area of expertise" comes up. I have nothing against these individual members—many of them do a good job on the committee. But, as well as their expertise, they aren't needed. Five faculty-staff members can provide the needed expertise and continuity on the Events Committee. The Senate will consider legislation tonight to restore the student voting majority on the committee and to require Senate approval of the committee's rules of conduct. The Senate will also be protecting student rights and insuring student representation on this campus.
