Senate approves . . .
From nage one
For nearly two hours the Senate debated the $6,741 request made by the International Club; opponents of the original request called for cuts totalling nearly $3,100.
THE INTERNATIONAL Club is a mother organization for 12 separate foreign student associations at KU. The money allocated to the club would be made in a block grant and an executive committee of the International Club would oversee distribution of the money to the individual student associations.
The club's budget provides $6,601 for supplies and expenses such as postage, printing, advertising, film rental, office supplies, and other expenses. Their budget also provides $140 for equipment, library supplies, books and magazines.
The supplemental funds would be in addition to $1,719 previously allocated to the club in last spring's budget hearings for fiscal 1977.
ON TWO SEPARATE occasions during the meeting, amendments were introduced that would have cut the International Club's net income by $757, 757, but both amendments were defeated.
Handy McKernan, chairman of the Senate Finance and Auditing Committee, which had given its preliminary approval of the International Club's budget request, said that he thought the committee believed that amount allowed for too much duplication of services.
He said after introducing an amendment to cut the original request, "I feel that the word 'original' should be included."
EACH OF THE individual student associations publishes its own newsletter, be said, and they request funds for many similar programs.
Defenders of the $6,741 request said that the request should be approved because it had already been approved by both the Senate Cultural Assembly and the Auditing Committee.
They said that because the committees
had studied the requests and found them just because no was reason not to approve in bodies.
After considerable discussion by the Senate concerning the International Club's request, Tedde Tashseff, student body president, said, "What's the beef—I haven't heard any substantial reasons why they shouldn't get this money."
THE $64,750 ALLOCATION will be made from student activity fee in fiscal 1976, the cost of a new class.
Although there was some opposition to the $2,911 budget request made by the KU Ice Hockey Club, no amendments to that figure were introduced.
During the club's budget presentation, McKernan said that if the Senate funded the club for three years, then it would be very possible that the club would become self-sufficient after that time. The past fiscal year, the Senate allocate the club $3,861.
MCKERNAN ALSO SAID that continued Senate funding would help the club in its efforts to possibly get an ice rink built in the basement. The club now rents an ice rink in Overland Park.
The president of the Ice Hockey Club, Tom Hansen, said that although a number of private developers had been contacted by the NHL, no definite commitments had been made.
He said that with the continued financial backing of the Senate, the club had a better bargaining position in its talks with developers.
The club's $2,911 budget provides funding for postage, advertising, long distance telephone, wages for officials, equipment and ice rink rental.
AFTER SUSPENDING Senate rules, Tashaeff introduced a resolution that called for student representation on departmental and school promotion and tenure
The resolution calls for steps to be taken by departments and schools to insure 20 per cent of the workforce.
that consider promotion and tenure of faculty members.
"This resolution would allow us to start on the ground level and get students involved in the quality of classroom teaching." Tasheff said.
Although there was some concern that students might not be qualified or responsible enough to serve on the committee, Tasheff said that a Senate resolution was only an expression of student confidence in the Senate had no actual power of enforcement.
"THE RESOLUTION WILL allow the departments and schools to decide for themselves whether students are represented on the committee," she said.
A somewhat similar resolution concerning the College Assembly also was passed by the Senate. The resolution provides for Senate endorsement of any proposal made by the College Assembly that would provide similar representation taking rights on the College Assembly's Promotion and Tenure Committee.
Haskell Indian Junior College officials hope that the new residence hall under construction will be ready in February to accommodate our crowded conditions in student housing.
That committee has the power of approval over any decisions made by departmental promotion and tenure committees.
Frank Quiring, de. of students, said Tuesday that if construction remained on schedule, students would be able to move in during February.
However if construction work on the $2.3 million ballast extends into March, Quiring said, students wouldn't move in until the fall semester. He said that having students move that late in the semester wouldn't be worth the trouble.
"I believe that the hall is one of the finest. I've had the opportunity to see," he said. "It provides enough privacy and individuality but at the same time you get the sense of a living group. It offers an incentive to students."
QUIRING SAID THAT the money for the hall had been appropriated through the Bureau of Indian Affairs and that the Bureau's plant facilities and design office in Albuquerque, N.M., help design the hall. The new building the new hall would be helpful to the students.

The halls, two women's and four men's, were designed to house about 545 people. The halls now hold 627 students, Quring said.
The rooms in one woman's hall were built to house two students, he said, but some now work on the building.
Haskell officials are now trying to obtain money for a second new residence hall, he
return to school, most of the off-campus housing is spoken for," Quiring said.
Laverne Parker, secretary to the president, said that Kansas Sen. James Pearson's office was trying to get money appropriated for the second hall. Parker she didn't think Haskell would get the money until fiscal 1978.
QURING SAID THAT the second hall was needed because there was 'no way we can serve the students by overcrowding our halls.'
Parker said that the student senate would decide whether the new hall under construction would be for men, women or both.
A fire last fall in one of the halls made the situation worse, he said. Students from the damaged rooms were relocated in other rooms in the hall.
OFF-CAMPU HOUSING has also been a problem for Haskell students, Quiring said. Many students were from out-of-state and in the country to attend the middle of summer to look for housing; be sure
