Kirtland pleads guilty in athletics scandal
TICKETS
BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com
The seventh and final defendant in the federal prosecution of several former Kansas Athletics employees has pleaded guilty to involvement in its ticket scandal.
Kirtland's plea differs from the arrangement of the previous six defendants in that he did not enter a plea agreement with the

government, but rather entered a direct guilty plea, Cross said.
In his plea submitted to the court, Kirtland admitted to illegally selling tickets to KU sporting events for his own financial gain from 2005 to 2009.
"Although I do not know the exact value of the tickets I sold, I estimate the total value of the tickets I sold to be in excess of $120,000," he wrote in his petition to change his plea to guilty. "I acknowledge that I was conspiring to commit, and committing, a fraud upon the

Plans for service center delayed
amcnaughton@kansan.com
Megan Ritter, student body vice president, said they weren't at the stage they had hoped to be at.
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com
One of the major platforms for KUnited coalition — the Student Services Center — won't be met this year because of unexpected delays in the process.
The hope, she said, is that all platforms get done in a year but that isn't always the case.
"We just kind of entered into it not knowing really how much work it would be, but it's been a really good learning experience." Ritter said.
Originally, Student Senate leaders had hoped to have concrete plans in place for the Student Service Center at the conclusion of the semester. Blaming bureaucratic interests, they said that might not happen after all.
The center would encompass a variety of services, such as academic achievement and success, disability services and a writing center, that the leaders of Student Senate believe would

improve student engagement and performance through accessibility. Ideally, the building would include seven to 10 services.
The location of the center would ultimately dictate what services would be offered, which still remains a primary concern.
From the beginning, the top three choices for the site are the Burge Union, Anschutz Library and the parking lot across from the Kansas Union. Renovations or additions to existing structures would accommodate the new building but temporarily displace or relocate staff and faculty.
In an e-mail, provost leffrey Vitter said the University ultimately had the responsibility to decide whether to proceed with a project and to determine its location.
"I expect that this approach will allow us to plan more effectively and avoid dead ends and that process will more successfully mesh with student initiatives if the relevant discussions happen earlier rather than later." Vitter said.
Student Body President Michael Wade Smith said the University
