Senate kills campaigning bill approves spending measures
By Donella Hearne Kansan staff writer
Student Senate killed a proposal that would have delayed Senate elections an extra week after Spring Break.
Travis Harrod, the author of the proposal, wanted to move the elections back to give candidates three weeks to campaign after Spring Break. Opponents said extra campainging would be an annoyance to students.
In other action, Senate approved bills appropriating $18,968.46 to campus organizations.
Another failed bill would have appropriated $3,000 to pay for travel expenses for Student Legal Services.
Appropriation bills for the following groups passed:
KU Lecture Series — $15,000 for an honorarium for one speaker to be chosen by the Lecture Series Board from the following: Maya Angelou, Tom Clancy, Mario Cuomo, Marlin Fitzwater, Robert Fulghum or Gloria Steinem.
- Promoting Alcohol Responsibility Through You (PARTY) — $1,109 for operating expenses and for special projects such as Alcohol Awareness Week and National Drunk Driving Week.
Kansas University Homeless Coalition — $988.50 for operating expenses and Homeless Awareness Week activities.
Engineering Expo — $979 for materials for engineering projects to be displayed at the expo.
KU African Affairs Student Association — $468.96 for operating expenses and for African Awareness Week
Public Relations Students Society of America — $423 for operating expenses and Jayhawk Promotions, a service that advises student groups in public relations matters.
The money for bills passed in Senate comes from an unallocated account, which is set up for new groups that have not received money from Senate and for Senate-financed groups that require additional money. The unallocated fund is now $43,076.20.
Panhellenic: unpaid but worth it
By Chesley Dohl
Kansan staff writer
Six KU executive women spend up to 50 hours a week in the office overseeing the University's largest women's organization. They do it for free and the occasional perk of a Kansas Union deli sandwich.
They're the students who make up the Panhellenic Executive Board and work with the 2500 women who belong to the organization's 15 different sororities at KU.
"No, we don't get paid, but there are times we practically live here so we do get a small stipend to eat with at the Union," said Traci Brown, vice president of sorority affairs for the Panhellenic board. "We don't look at it as a job because really it can be a lot of fun."
Brown said that working on the executive board sometimes seemed
WOMEN'S week
like a thankless job. But she said the recognition came with the territory
"When someone does take notice it makes everything that much more worthwhile to us," she said.
Randy Degner, Panhellenic adviser,
said the six women seemed to enjoy
what they did for the University. But
he said there were hectic times of
the year like Rush week when their
positions became full-blown jobs.
"During Rush they lived in a motel for six days and worked 24 hours a day," Degner said. "Naturally when people spend so much time together there's going to be some tension and some problems — but they work things out really well."
Angela Wenman vice president of public affairs said that she and the rest of the Panhellenic board were elected last spring by the representative delegates from the different sorority chapters on campus.
"It's a big responsibility," Wennihan said, "but we don't expect any credit for the work we do."
Wennihan said the Panhellenic organization planned Women's Week to include the whole campus, not just Greek women. She said there were some stereotypes associated with the organization but that most were untrue.
"Panhellenic is based on leadership involvement and opportunities," she said. "What you put into it is what you get out of it. But the vast majority of women in the Greek system join Panhellenic because they want to meet people, and find a way to get involved with campus."
