Student Senate held committee meetings Wednesday at the Kansas Union. Four committees met. Next Wednesday full Senate will meet.
Committees create an elections reform board
The University Affairs committee and Student Rights committee passed a bill to create an elections reform committee. Mason Heilman, Lawrence junior and Student Executive Committee chairman, said the committee’s purpose was to improve elections, because they had gotten out of hand. The committee would impose a spending limit of $6,000 for campaigning and would create additional campaign regulations. Adam Wood, Lawrence senior, opposed the bill and said it favored larger and more established coalitions and imposed on students’ free speech rights. The bill will go before full Senate next week.
Finance allocates $17,450 for media
The Finance Committee passed a bill to fund the student media outlets. The proposed $17,450 would go to The University Daily Kansan, KJHK, KU Filmworks, Kiosk and KUpedia. Alex Porte, Great Falls, Va., junior and student body treasurer, said an oversight on the part of Student Senate caused the student media fee to base its yearly allocations on a budget of $213,000, when the revenue was only $180,000. The University Affairs committee passed the bill last week and the bill will go before full Senate next week.
KU Steel Bridge Team set to get $4,210
The Finance committee and the University Affairs committee passed a bill to give the KU Steel Bridge Team $4,210 to construct a steel bridge for a regional competition. John Kenny, Colorado Springs, Colo., fifth-year senior and School of Engineering senator said the team would represent the University in a national competition if the team qualified. He said the competitions were an opportunity for engineering students to have learning experiences outside of the classroom.
