Student body president wants to finish agenda
By Michael Christie
Kansan staff writer
Mike Schreiner says he doesn't want to engage in typical lame-duck politics during his last semester as student body president.
He still has an agenda this semester that he wants to see completed, he said.
The battle is not finished for the budget increases at the University, Schreiner said. A lot was accomplished when Gov. Joan Finney released her budget proposal, but now state legislators need to be persuaded to support the budget, he said.
Schreiner's goals this semester include establishing a book-exchange program and lobbying for the approval of the governor's budget proposal, which would give the University of Kansas needed money, he said.
Schreiner said he wanted to continue support for the budget proposal on two levels. First, students need to continue to lobby, including getting parents involved, he said.
"It's a little bit tough now," he said. "It was easier to direct our efforts at the governor. Now we have their help to their own particular beetles."
Second, Schreiner said he was
enlisting the help of influential KU alumni through the University of Kansas Alumni Association.
The book-exchange program was one of Schreiner's campaigning points. He has been in contact with Mike Reid, KU Bookstore manager, and is trying to get the program into operation, he said.
The program would allow students to exchange books with other students instead of the bookstores.
Bill Getz, textbook manager, said the book-exchange program was not a new idea.
"It's up to the student to contact the person willing to sell the book and set the price." Schreiner said.
Schreiner said the exchanges in the past failed because the people in charge of them handled money. The new program would put available books on a list along with students who want to buy or sell books, he said.
“There have been book-exchange programs in the past,” he said.
“There have been at least three that I can recall.”
"The biggest thing we need to do with the bookstore is the list of textbook requests," he said.
Schreiner said the bookstore was cooperative and would help with the exchange program.
Kansan staff report
State employees in gulf may get aid
State Rep. Sandy Praeger, R-Lawrence, said she was going to propose an income guarantee for those state employees.
"Under this bill, the state would pay the difference between their state salary and military pay," she said. "Kansas should not reap a tax increase unless those from who are putting their lives on the line in the Gulf region."
TOPEKA — State employees to called active duty in the Middle East and their families back home from two law enforcement briefers.
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R- Lawrence, said he supported the bill.
"There are probably more state employees in my district than in any other in the state," he said. "At the absolute minimum, we want to make sure that health-care benefits are continued to the dependents and spouses of these people. There are some private companies that are doing it, so we should be able to also."
Praeger said she would request that the bill be introduced in the House appropriations committee and in the pension and benefits commit-
