Two groups name Senate candidates
By Michael Christie
Kansan staff writer
With Student Senate elections less than two months away, only two coaltions have announced their plans to run in the Senate administration next year.
Jason McIntosh and Giles Smith lead the FACTS coalition, and Darren Fulcher and Alan Lowdow are all four. All four are senators this year.
Both groups have said they would follow the recommended election spending limit, which is $600 for the state and $400 for each ticket and $75 for each Senate seat.
"There's no reason to spend more than that, in my opinion," said Lowen-
Smith said he saw the changed election rules as somewhat contradictory because they limited the ability of students on campus but did not limit spending.
He said the decision to follow the suggested limit was due to two things: principle and his not having a
lot of money.
"Both Jason and I are broke," he said.
"I can see the danger of having a totally commercial campaign in the future." Smith said.
"They've eliminated the advantage that more experienced coalitions would have had," he said.
Lowden he thought the new election code was fair because the rules applied to everyone.
In the past, candidates who knew they were running early in the school year could reserve bulletin board space in the Kansas Union. The new rules forbid that space to be used for campaigns.
There will be 64 Senate seats available for next year.
Students wanting to run for Senate seats must file with the elections commission by March 20. President candidates must file by March 5.
The Senate elections are scheduled for April 10 and 11.
School board election draws eight candidates
By Vanessa Fuhrmans

The space crunch in Lawrence schools is once again dominating the school board election.
The November defeat of a bond to finance a second high school and criticism of the school district's other efforts to expand classroom space has made the overcrowding problem the hottest topic of the race.
A primary will be conducted Tuesday because nine candidates initially filed to run for four seats on the school board. A primary must be conducted if more than eight candidates file.
Larry Morlan, however, dropped out of the race yesterday for personal reasons, leaving only eight candidates in the race.
Unless Morlan, whose name will remain on the primary ballot, receives enough votes, all eight of the following candidates will compete again in the general election April 2: Kevin Elliott is an accounts loader for the Credit Bureau of Lawrence Inc., 303 W. 11th St. He has worked closely with local teen-age suicide-prevention programs.
- Andy Galyardt is a partner at
McGrew Real Estate Inc., 1501 Kasdine Drive, and the founder and former owner of Kaw Valley Management Inc., 901 Kentucky St.
Jerry Hannah owns Gerald T. Hannah Management Firm, a management consulting firm, and is a former member of the Kansas State Commission of Mental Health and Mental Retardation.
Renee Karr works with disabled children in the Lawrence school district and is a member of the Commission on Level and High School Education.
■ Mary Loveland, a homemaker, is one of two incumbents running for a second school board term. She has been on the board since 1987
- Tom Murray, a Lawrence attorney, is vice chairperson of the Commission on Mid-Level and High School Education.
- Raymond Poteet created Alpha and Omega Financial Services Inc., 3110 Mesa Way, and now leads the firm's life insurance division.
Harriet Shaffer, a board member since 1987, is running for re-election. She works at the Beach Center on the University of Kansas' liabilities at the University of Kansas.
34 resident assistants hired for 1991-92 academic year

Bv Jonathan Plummer
The office of student housing hired 34 resident assistants yesterday for the coming school year.
Jonathan Long, assistant director of student housing, said the office sent acceptance letters Wednesday and yesterday, completing a process that began in December with 151 applicants.
The number of candidates gradually was whittled to a pool of 91 after they were subjected to grade and academic-hour requirements and a mock confrontation to gauge how they would handle a crisis. Long said.
The final 34 were chosen by Long and residence hall directors after another round of interviews last weekend, he said. Those chosen will have two weeks to notify the office that they plan to accept the position.
The number of applicants was unusually high this year, Long said.
"I think that LeeAnna Lamb, the "I residence hall director at McCollum, did an excellent job at recruitment time," Long said. "The graphics department and the hall directors all were interested," and a lot of people were interested."
The 34 people hired yesterday will replace those current RAs who will not return as RAs next year. The office is in the middle of a three-phase plan that is increasing the number of RAs.
The office would like to increase the number of RAs in McCollum and the rest of Oliver this year, Long said, but it will not hire extra staff or the exact number of residents for next semester is calculated in April.
Last spring the number of RAs on each floor was increased to two in Ellsworth, Gertrude Sellars Pearson-Corbin and Hashinger halls, Long said. The number of RAs on each floor in Oliver Hall also was increased to two.
"It's a lot more like being a parent than I realized, and I didn't know many people would test you," he said. "There were some things I liked." It is its divided between being a friend who listens and being a disciplinarian.
"The expansion will not continue until we get some sense and indication of whether occupancy will decline or not." Long said. "Right now I don't have a clear idea of the occupation space, then it doesn't make sense"
Tom Bettis, Merriam junior and McColm RA, said being an RA was not what he thought it would be when accepted the position last semester.
"I have had a meeting every Friday, Saturday and Sunday since we came back to school in January," he heard. "I still like it. I'm committed to it."
