People who wish to give tribute to Melissa Evans are invited to attend a memorial service Friday at 8 p.m. at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries. Food will be served at 8 p.m., followed by the service an hour later. Evans died last weekend in a car accident near Lawrence on I-70 Highway.

Student Senate approved a bill to spend $4,820 on electronic voting devices — sometimes called “clickers” — for use in meetings. The funding will be taken out of the reserve account, which consists of money from student fees.
The bill, which needed to be passed by a two-thirds vote because the funding for it is from the reserve account, passed by two votes.
Legislation to fund the clickers has been in Student Senate for almost a year.
During the meeting Adam McGonigle, Wichita sophomore and chair of the Senate Executive Committee, asked senators to resolve the issue one way or the other.
“I’m pleased that this issue is over and that we can focus on things that more closely affect students,” McGonigle said, after the meeting.
