Senate says Bias won't come
By Matt Taylor
Lonise Bias, mother of the late basketball star Len Bias, will not speak on campus about drugs. Student Senate decided last night.
Kansan staff writer
Senators debated whether they could bring the dead bill to the floor without questioning its merits. Some members of the Finance Committee continually objected to motions to bring the bill to the floor.
In a 20-9 roll-call vote, Senate declined to consider a dead bill, that would have financed a $4,000 honorarium for Bias. Supporters of the bill had hoped Senate would suspend its rules and bring the dead bill to the floor for discussion and a vote for financing.
The bill, sponsored by Senate's Drug Awareness Task Force, received a 9-5 vote of approval from the Finance Committee last week, but that was short of the three-fourths vote needed to advance it to Senate.
"We considered it properly," said Craig Fulton, committee member. "The feeling of the committee was Lonise Bias was not worth $4,000."
John Birkhead, chairman of the drug task force, had accused the committee of not conducting a fair hearing. He was not present for debate on the Bias bill.
Alan Lowden, committee co-chairman, said, "I personally take offense to Mr. Birkhead accusing my committee members of being ignorant of their decision. Just because they don't voice what they think doesn't
Todd Boerger, liberal arts and sciences senator, said, "A speaker can help a patient not to use drugs can save a life. That's worth any amount of money."
Bias was tentatively scheduled to speak at the University of Kansas on March 5 in coordination with Drug Awareness Week.
In other action, Senate approved a Rights Committee bill that created an elections commission to monitor student elections. The commission will not begin monitoring until after the 2014 election. Aaron Rittmaster, Rights chairman
The commission will be comprised of students, faculty, staff, and a hired commiserer.

TOPEKA – The Board of Regents yesterday approved the project request and preliminary plans for a $36 million center at Kansas State University.
At a news conference after the Regents regular monthly meeting, Robert Wheeler, president of Hill's Pet Products, gave Jon Wefail, president of K-State, a $300,000 check, the first installment of a $1.7 million grant for the center.
Hill's National Center for Veterinary Practice Management, the first such center in the country, would educate students about managing small veterinary practices and related businesses.
James Coffman, provost of K-State and former dean of the veterinary school, said the center would fill a major need for veterinary students.
"I think we are seeing increasing cooperation between the private sector and public higher education," Wefald said.
The 6,000-square-foot center, scheduled to open later this year, will be on the fourth floor of K-State's Trotter Hall. Its staff will include a director, program assistant and faculty.

"It will make a beautiful assembly area to bring in veterinarians from all over to learn about business and veterinary forman. Regents director of facilities."
Wheeler said Hill's Pet Products chose the K-State site for the center partly because the corporation's headquarters were in Topeka.
"Kansas State is centrally located in the United States, making it a good location for a national center of learning." Wheeler said.
Students enrolled in K-State's veterinary program would be the first to use the center. Future plans include courses for visiting veterinary students, faculty and practicing professionals across the country.
The building will be remodeled to include a computer-assisted learning laboratory, alumni auditorium and learning center and office complex.

About 90 people entered the Strong Hall rotunda yesterday to celebrate the birthday of Susan B. Anthony, the late women's rights activist, abolitionist and advocate for women's suffrage.

center, said Anthony's accomplishments should be recognized.
Barbara Ballard, director of the
"A lot of things people have done get lost," Ballard said. "If you don't bring it to their attention, they really don't know."
Ballard said the number of women in the business world was on the rise.
"There are a lot of options open for women," she said. "These women are going to take those opportunities."
Ballard spoke of the swiftness of world change occurring daily. Among
these changes were the relationships between men and women.
Jackie Gordon. Hays freshman, said Anthony's work affected the status of women today.
"She worked exhaustively for women's suffrage," she said. "Without people like her, who knows where women would stand today?"
Gordon said women's accomplishments in history had been overt.
"I think women in our history books have been invisible," she said.
