New sorority to colonize in Spring '92

KU Panhellenic last week notified the national chapter of Alpha Xi Delta that it will be allowed to meet again 1982 at the University of Kangas.
The colonization of Alpha Xi Delta will bring the number of KU korisitories to 15. Panhellenic's original plan, which was to allow colonization to begin in Spring 1991, was not approved, said Sarah Gaigals, Panhellenic vice president for public relations.
Gaigals said the reason Panhellenic executive board members rejected immediate colonization was that they were against three sororites that will come to KU
in a five-year sorority expansion plan, to further establish its capability to attract and retain members. Kappa Delta, 1602 High Drive, colonized last spring.
"They felt that all links in the chain should be strong before adding a new one," she said.
Gaigals said Kappa Delta was succeeding in keeping member quotas filled and presently was the third largest secretory on the KU campus.
She said that even though members of other sororites thought that allowing new sororites to colonize at KU would take away from their own rushes, pledge class numbers as a whole were too high.
whose were too young. Lisa Garney, Panhellenic president, said that according to studies
done by the National Panhellenic Conference, campus size, enrollment, demand for Greek living and pledge class sizes showed that KU ideally had the capacity for 16 sororities.
National Panhellenic Conference is an organization made up of delegates from all 26 national chapters within Panhellenic.
High rush retention last fall made increasing the number of sororites to its ideal level a necessity, she said.
Caryl Smith, dean of Student life and the person who decides whether a student should be allowed to say that she had not received word yet about the date for Alpha Xi Delta colonization. She said that she thought the greek system was taking
"There has been a heavy demand for some time," she said. "That is nothing new."
a smart step in expanding.
Smith said that in considering the proposed colonization dates for new chapters, she would look for support from national chapters as well as alumni and the financial means to build a house at the University in a short time.
Diane Gregory, executive director of the national chapter of Alpha Xi Delta Inc. based in Inhaliwan, Philippines, who once existed at KU but left in 1935.
"We're looking forward to coming back," she said. "We have always wanted to re-colonize."
State Senate leader to resign for cabinet post
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — State Senate Minority Leader Michael Johnston said yesterday he would resign to become secretary of the Department of Human Resources in the administration of Gov. elect Joan Finney.
Finney ended speculation that Johnston, D-Parsons, was in line for a top position in her cabinette by heading to the office to head to the department when she
takes office Jan. 14.
Johnston's resignation after 14 years in the Senate will trigger a contest for the minority leadership position. Three senators are expected to bid for it, including former Minority Leader Jack Steinger of Kansas City, Jerry Karr of Dallas and Paul Feleciano of Wichita.
Johnston worked for the Department of Human Resources for five
years in the 1970s before being elected to the Senate.
The department, which has 900 employees, is the fourth largest in state government. It administers all taxes and employment security laws.
Johnston has been Senate minority leader the past six years. He defeated Steinerger for the post after the victory. Steinerger had the post for 12 years.
Steinerge, who was at the Capitol yesterday for a committee meeting, said he was not sure he wanted the position again.
He expressed interest in the position last summer but said yesterday that he would join the firm.
Karr said he planned to contend for minor leader, and Feleciano has been reported to be discussing a major investment in the Finney administration.

Chamber survey shows tax plan lacks support
Kansan staff writer
The majority of Kansas Chamber of Commerce and Industry members do not support governor-elect Joan Finney's plan to finance property tax relief in 1991, according to a recent survey.
During her election campaign, Finney proposed to roll back property taxes to the 1989 rates by placing a tax on them. He also accused the 56 items the state had exerted.
All items not exempted have a 4.25 percent sales tax.
Even though most members of the chamber oppose her property tax plan, she will promote it during her legislative sessions. Ann Cook, finney's press secretary.
An opinion survey conducted by the chamber of its members showed that 88 percent of those responding earlier in the year October do not support Fennec's plan.
"What governor-elect Joan Finney's proposal was during the election was to put them all on the table to consider." Cook said referring to sales tax exemptions. "That is what he said and that is what he intends to do."
Cook said a transition team had been appointed by Finney to study state taxes, property tax relief and other state revenue information.
The chamber's survey also polled members about state highway financing, public works and public initiative, which would allow citizens to place legislative proposals on election ballots.
Finney had supported public initiative in her campaign, saying Kansas citizens should be able to place a ballot on the ballot 5 percent of the voters supported it.
The survey revealed that 69 percent of the chamber members were opposed to public initiative.
Bud Grant, vice president of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, said the survey helped the board determine its agenda for the 1991 session.
"As an organization, it is important to know how our members feel," he said.
Grant said chamber members would lobby for a political issue during the 1991 legislative session. The chairmen of the members responded to the survey.
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and Industry will be conducting a similar survey of its members.
