STUDENT SENATE
Senators approve funds for speaker, culture night

Wednesday's full senate meeting in the Kansas room of the Kansas Union lasted more than two hours. Senate members passed bills to fund future speakers and altered the language in the rules and regulations to provide Senate with more leeway when it comes to indirect funding.
Much of the discussion for the night, though, focused on the Center for Community Outreach's request to fund their "Into the Streets Week" philanthropist speaker Greg Mortenson.
Mortenson's price tag for the event is $34,000, of which $31.00 is honorarium and going directly to him.
Last night the Senate agreed to the bill requesting $9,000 for the event, which takes place at the end of March.
Another bill passed to provide funding for the Jewish student group.
Chabad, but with less opposition.
Chabad requested $1,500 to fund their "Jewish Culture Night" featuring internationally renowned mentalist Marc Salem. Salem highlights the power of the mind in his performances and will be on campus March 14.
In the spirit of giving, members also authorized an amendment of Student Senate Rules and Regulations to strike the previous rule that "no funds from student fees shall be allocated ... to directly or indirectly raise funds for another corporation, organization, or group."
The new amendment allows "no more than 10 percent of the previous three-year average donations to be made to the third party group which the event is fundraising for."
The new amendment allows senate to contribute indirect funding to groups sponsoring events such as the Dance Marathon, Relay for Life and Up 'til Dawn.
The original amount was 15 per cent but got amended to 10.

Women's Resource Center honors campus figures as 'Men of Merit'
BY CHRIS HONG chong@kansan.com
The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center at the University of Kansas awarded 15 students and professors, including basketball player Tyrell Reed. Wednesday afternoon for, well, "being the man."
the work of individuals who positively redefine masculinity through challenging norms, taking action and leading by example while giving back to the community. Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director for the ETWRC, said that men are statistically behind in graduation rates and university involvement, and the award recognizes men who challenge the status-quo.
The Men of Merit award honors
"As you look at some of the
men, it may be that they take a role that is not traditionally masculine," Rose-Mocky said.
Jon Sabillon, a senior from Lawrence, was one of the recipients of the award. He said he was honored to be among what he considered prominent men.
"It says something about what I have been doing and to keep doing what I'm doing," he said.
"I feel there are lot of different varieties to what makes a man a man," he said. "It's a great honor to be able to consider myself a man of merit because of the diversity that comes with it and the whole idea of breaking the mold and breaking the stereotypes."
Kameron Mack, another award recipient, said it was nice that his work at the university was not going unnoticed. Mack is involved with the Black Student Union and the University Dance Company.
This year was the third time the award had been given.
