3A
SAFEBUS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
with the input of students and other groups such as Student Senate and the Transit Commission, reworked the red and green SafeBus routes to include stops at McCollum Hall. Meier explained the change was aimed at making SafeBus more accessible to the 3,000 students that call Daisy Hill home. The program, paid for by student funds, currently runs six buses from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
"Obviously on the SafeBus side we strongly encourage students to make good decisions," Meier said. "Those decisions are easier to make if you have acceptable or quality options."
At 11:25 p.m., the students of Daisy Hill are using the service of SafeBus 53 yellow. They pile on the 80-person capacity bus and vell addresses.
"14th and Tennessee!" "The Hawk!" "11th and Illinois!"
In the midst of the chaos, SafeBus driver Scott Grosdidier sits like a sea captain at the helm of the 10-ton, 40-foot bus.
"They see someone else get off and then they try to get off and their stop is two miles down the road," Grosdidier said. "It's a little bit of a babysitting job, but the thing is I don't want any of these
people to get ticked off when they realize they're in the wrong place."
Some riders still miss their stops but don't seem to mind. They ride along yelling, joking, laughing and sneaking sips from what's hidden in purses and coats. Rules above the festive passengers include no loud or excessive profanity, no eating, drinking or smoking.
"I'm not part of the TSA, so I can't give them all a pat down when they get on the bus," Grosdidier said.
Though clandestine drinking does happen during the rides, Lawrence Police Officer Trent McKinley said he thought SafeBus makes Lawrence safer and did not encourage underage drinking.
"I don't think that they have graphics on their bus encouraging drinking," McKinley said. "They don't have Budweiser sponsoring the bus. They don't encourage people going out to drink." McKinley added that SafeBus keeps intoxicated drivers off the road and that drivers often called the Lawrence Police department if they had problems with riders.
Beau Cohen, a freshman from Topeka, also thinks SafeBus helps the community.
"You got to roll with the punches," he said. "In a way it encourages kids to drink in the fact that they have a way to get around, but again it's keeping drunks off the street. It's like a rollercoaster man. You're going to have your ups and downs."
As the night drags on, people begin boarding the bus from downtown Lawrence and the "student ghetto" for their return trip. Finally home, they stagger off.
"Thanks man," some say to the bus driver, "Take it easy." "See you next weekend." Beer cans and water bottles roll around the empty floor.
"I usually fill about a trashcan after the night is done," Grosdier said.
Students currently pay $10.20 per semester for the combined SafeBus and SafeRide service, and roughly 40 percent goes to the SafeBus program. Every three years, the fee goes up for review by the Student Senate Campus Fee Review Subcommittee. This year, there is a proposal to increase the fee, adding $1.20 to the Thursday night SafeBus service and $0.70 to the combined service to keep up with costs.

Students ride a SafeBus to arrive safely to their destination. SafeBus has seen a 70 percent increase in riders this year.
While the new building will be the first LEED certified building in Lawrence, it will be the third the group has constructed. Studio 804 first built a LEED certified structure in Greensburg in 2008 after a tornado swept through the town. The LEED structure helped turn the town into a green society and is still in use.
According to the U.S. Green Building Council, in order to
become LEED certified the building must meet specific requirements in energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their effects.
The project this year, which will be on Bob Billings Parkway, will use an array of methods to earn their green certification. Rockhill
and the students are implementing solar panels, a wind turbine, a wall made out of plants, the first electric car charging port in Lawrence, a green roof and a wall of south-facing windows made from smart glass into the designs. Rockhill describes the smart glass as similar to transition eye glasses that change in the sunlight. The sunlight warms the building which darkens the windows,

keeping the heat in. The exterior of the building will be constructed from scrap limestone.
"It all the leftovers from people's kitchen counters or bathroom vanities," John Meyers, a graduate student from St. Louis, said.
After its completion in May, the building will belong to the University, which has the final say on what happens with the

structure. But the group wants it to be available for public use, and hopes the University will open the building to the city.

ETHICS (CONTINUED FROM1A)
Union
The bill designates responsibilities of student senators and aims to ensure that the motivations of theseate directly represents and benefits their constituents and that there are no person gains.
One of the articles in the bill states that "senators will never misrepresent their constituency, but strive for what is best for the student body."
Referring to elections issues and the low voter turnout, Harris said the code of ethics provided a good opportunity to clean up that image and convey to students why senators do what they do.

"It's a good way to say we're here for the betterment of the student body, not us," Harris said.
According to the bill, senators must hold themselves to a higher standard and conduct while representing the student body's interests.
If a senator violates the code of ethics, suspension or loss of voting rights is the intended punishment
"We don't want grudges or this to turn into a witch hunt," Harris said. "We just want this to be used as a means to keep senate accountable and hold themselves to a higher standard."

CORRECTION
The study found that Chinese students made up 18 percent of all international students at U.S. universities between 2008 and 2009, not 18 percent of all students.
An article published Tuesday, March 2 about foreign exchange students incorrectly cited a study by the Institute of International Education.
