EXTENDING VOTING PRIVILEGES FOR
STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT AND
STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT TO
STUDENTS AT KSU-SALINA
Jake Worcester, Mary Bosco, Jason Heinrich, Gabe Eckert, Tracey Mann, Andy
Mackim, Bill Muir, and Phil Anderson
SUMMARY: Two years ago, a clarifying amendment to the KSU SGA Constitution
disenfranchised the students at KSU-Salina from voting for the KSU SGA
Student Body President and Student Body Vice President. Although the Student
Body President of KSU-Salina became a constitutionally-mandated member of
the KSU SGA Student Body President’s Cabinet, students at KSU-Salina
currently have no voice in electing the persons who are the direct representatives
of the combined student body of Kansas State University before the University
President, the State Board of Regents and other bodies.
BE IT ENACTED THAT:
SECTION 1: Article II, Section 201 of the KSU SGA Constitution is hereby amended to read:
201. Any person enrolled in at least one credit hour of class work at the main
campus of Kansas State University shall be a member of the KSU SGA and shall
have full voting privileges to which each member is hereby entitled. Any person
enrolled in at least one credit hour of class work at KSU-Salina College of
Technology shall be entitled to vote for KSU SGA Student Body President and
Student Body Vice President at any election.
SECTION 2: This legislation shall take effect when ratified by six of nine college councils.
SECTION 3: A copy of this bill be sent to Dean of the College of Technology Dennis Kuhiman

GENERAL NOMINEE INTERVIEW COMMITTEE
Judicial Council and Amie Kershner
WHEREAS The Judicial Branch currently has very little input into the selection of their own
branch’s leader; and
WHEREAS The proposed system does not affect the system of checks and balances because it
still allows for each branch’s input and requires Student Senate’s approval; and
WHEREAS More input from the Judicial Branch in the selection of its leader would be
beneficial for the Judicial Branch as a whole; and
WHEREAS A committee with representation from all three branches who has conducted
interviews with the candidates for Attorney General can make a more informed
appointment than the Student Body President who did not interview the
candidates,
BE IT ENACTED THAT:
SECTION 1. Article 6, Section 601. E. of the Kansas State University Student Governing
Association Constitution is hereby repealed.
SECTION 2. Article 6, Section 601. E. of the Kansas State University Student Governing
Association Constitution is hereby created to read as:

the Student Body President and Student Body Vice President (or a member of the
executive branch appointed by such officer); two Student Senators appointed by the
present Chairperson of Student Senate; two members of the Judicial Branch appointed by
the Judicial Council; and the present Chairperson of Student Senate, who shall vote only
to break a tie. The Chairperson of Student Senate shall be the chair of the committee. All
appointments to the committee shall be subject to approval by Student Senate at its first
Student Senate meeting. The SGA Primary Judicial Advisor shall be an ex-officio, nonvoting member of the Committee. A quorum of the Committee shall be one voting member
from each branch and the present Chairperson of Student Senate. The committee shall
interview candidates for Attorney General for the following academic year, subject to
approval by Student Senate.
Unless otherwise provided, the SGA Attorney General, in consultation with the Student
Body President, shall appoint members to Judicial Boards. The Attorney General, in
consultation with the Dean of Student Life or designee, shall determine which Judicial

RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE RECONSIDERATION
OF SCIENCE STANDARDS BY THE KANSAS STATE
BOARD OF EDUCAITON
Dustin Petrik
WHEREAS the August 11, 1999, decision of the Kansas State Board of Education to
deemphasize the teaching of evolution in public schools has caused a controversy
that has attracted nationwide attention; and
WHEREAS this decision will eliminate the theory of evolution from state standardized tests
and allow local school districts to determine the curriculum on the subjects of
evolution and creationism; and
WHEREAS by allowing each of the 304 local school boards to determine how evolution
should be taught, this decision creates the potential for statewide discrepancy in
education standards; and
WHEREAS this decision also makes local school board elections a likely site for partisan
politics; and
WHEREAS national standardized tests, such as the SAT and ACT, will still contain questions
relating to the theory of evolution, leaving Kansas high-school students
unprepared for these exams; and
WHEREAS this decision will affect the recruitment of students and faculty to Kansas State
University and other institutions of higher learning in the state of Kansas,
BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
SECTION 1. The Kansas State University Student Governing Association strongly urges the
Kansas State Board of Education to reconsider its decision to de-emphasize the
teaching of evolution in public schools and to eliminate the theory of evolution
from state standardized tests.
SECTION 2. A copy of this resolution be sent to the Kansas State Board of Education,

WHEREAS North Manhattan and Kimball avenues are often used by students to travel to and
from campus, and Kimball Avenue is the main link to the KSU sports complex;
and
WHEREAS a roundabout would clog traffic at the intersection, especially before and after
events at the sports complex, which draw thousands of visitors to the city each
year; and
WHEREAS a roundabout would be a poor choice for the North Manhattan and Kimball
intersection, which is at the top of a hill; and
WHEREAS a roundabout would be an obstacle to Manhattan’s fire and police personnel, who
have already voiced their opposition to the project; and
WHEREAS a roundabout would drastically slow traffic on one of Manhattan’s arterial streets,
as defined by the recent comprehensive transportation study. This would go
against the study, which showed Kimball to be an important, high-traffic street
running east and west through the city; and
WHEREAS the Manhattan City Commission, by accepting the KDOT proposal, has approved
a project that will have a negative affect on the intersection and the city of
Manhattan,
BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
SECTION 1. The Kansas State University Student Governing Association asks the Manhattan
City Commission and KDOT to reconsider and review the proposed roundabout
and explore alternative solutions to traffic at this intersection.
SECTION 2. A copy of this resolution be given to City Manager Gary Greer, Public Works
Director Jerry Petty, members of the Manhattan City Commission, Secretary of
Transportation Dean Carlson, Vice President of Administration and Finance Tom
Rawson, and President Jon Wefald.

FLASHING YELLOW LIGHTS ALONG
NORTH MANHATTAN AVENUE
Governmental Relations Committee
WHEREAS North Manhattan Avenue between Claim Road and Bluemont Avenue has a high
amount of pedestrian traffic and is often crossed by students going to and from
campus; and
WHEREAS flashing yellow lights that alerted motorists to crosswalks in that corridor were
removed when crews began construction on the street but have not been replaced;
and
WHEREAS pedestrians crossing North Manhattan Avenue remain a safety concern to the
student body; and
WHEREAS the recent enhancements to North Manhattan Avenue do not decrease danger to
pedestrians who wish to cross the street; and
WHEREAS yellow lights boost awareness of crosswalks and pedestrian traffic; and
WHEREAS failure to reinstall the lights has not been justified by city staff; and
WHEREAS the city still has the yellow lights, which could be reinstalled without much
replacement cost; and
WHEREAS the city should make every effort to promote safety through this dangerous
corridor; and
WHEREAS city staff members say they wish more time to study traffic patterns after
construction on North Manhattan and Anderson avenues is complete, but the
flashing lights are a separate safety issue and should be replaced as soon as
possible,

SECTION 1. The Kansas State University Student Governing Association strongly urges the
city of Manhattan to reinstall the flashing crosswalk lights along North Manhattan
Avenue between Claim Road and Bluemont Avenue.

RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE
FINE ARTS COUNCIL BY-LAWS
AND FUNDING REGULATIONS
Ted Conrad, Gabe Eckert, Jake Worcester, Jason Heinrich, and Mary Bosco
WHEREAS concerns have been expressed through legislation and by members of Student
Senate concerning the procedures for voting and student group allocations made
by the Fine Arts Council; and
WHEREAS the Fine Arts Council and Student Senate have had individual and joint meetings
to discuss these concerns; and
WHEREAS it is within the authority of Student Senate to suggest changes to groups and
organizations that were created by Student Senate,
BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
SECTION 1. The following amendments to the Fine Arts Council by-laws and funding
regulations are suggested by Student Senate:
1. The removal of faculty votes on student group allocations. Student Senate feels
as though the opinion of faculty is quite relevant on all matters, but the right to
vote on allocations of student monies should be a student matter.
2. The restructuring of student membership on the Fine Arts Council to increase
student leadership, yet keep the total numbers the same. Elected student positions
should be reduced to two (with staggered two-year terms), while three elected
student senators should be appointed by the Student Senate chair (subject to the
approval of Student Senate) to make up the difference. The student body president
should appoint four students, subject to the approval of Student Senate. The chair
of FAC should continue to be elected at the first meeting of the newly-constituted
council from among the student members.
3. The 15% carry-forward allowance for each intity supported by the Fine Arts
Fee should remain unchanged, but carry-forwards in excess of 15% should revert
back to the general privilege fee reserve account. “Emergency allocations” may
be obtained through the Privilege Fee Committee. The current balance of the FAC
reserve account would remain unchanged, but the account would not be added to.
40
SECTION 2. The Fine Arts Council should consider and pass these recommended amendments
to the Fine Arts Council by-laws and funding regulations before December 1,
1999. If not, Student Senate will consider passage of legislation to enact these
amendments.

SUPPORT FOR USING TUITION INCREASE REVENUE
TO SUPPLEMENT BASE BUDGET FUNDS
Travis Lenkner, Jason Heinrich and Jake Worcester
WHEREAS in December, the Kansas Board of Regents approved a second tuition increase for
FY 2001 to offset a proposed state budget recission; and
WHEREAS students feel the increase was hastily proposed and approved without their input,
but understand the necessity of the increase in light of the state’s difficult
financial times; and
WHEREAS the revenue generated by the increase in fiscal year 2001 is slated for use as part
of the university’s base budget; and
WHEREAS some legislators and students at other universities have proposed earmarking
some of the additional tuition revenue for need-based financial aid; and
WHEREAS such an appropriation would result in a net decrease in the university’s base
budget for fiscal year 2001; and
WHEREAS that decrease would result in a lack of resources that would adversely affect
academic quality, class size, and course offerings for students in the 2000-2001
academic year; and
WHEREAS an increase in financial aid support coupled with a decrease in the base budget
would result in K-State’s record enrollment continuing without providing funds to
support the costs associated with the additional students.

SECTION 1. The Kansas State University Student Governing Association opposes any
proposal that would use tuition increase revenue to pay for need-based financial
aid or other supplemental programs in fiscal year 2001.

advocate for additional need-based aid from other state funding sources.
