RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NOON-HOUR
GYMNASIUM RULES
Steve Walton, Terry Matlack, Cindy Thomas
WHEREAS students are the primary consumers of KSU Recreational Services, and
WHEREAS students formerly obtained considerable benefits from noon-hour use of the
gymnasium for recreational purposes, and
WHEREAS discrimination on the basis of University status (faculty, staff, student) is an
arbitrary and invidious solution to rising demands for available noon-hour gym
space, and
WHEREAS the pre-existing noon-hour faculty “class” provides an insufficient justification for
the exclusion of students because:
1. The agreement between HPER and the faculty establishing the restrictive
period was voided when HPER transferred control of the period to Rec
Services.
2. The basis of entry to the class - being a faculty or staff member - contradicted
the acknowledged reason for the class - aiding the health of “older”
individuals - as none of the several “older” students could be admitted to the
“class”.
3. The period was not a class in any accepted sense: there was no direct
supervision, no requirement for following a planned course of action, nor any
tuition or credit provisions.
4. Since the period has been closed, the hour has not changed from what it had
been a free and open recreational period with no elements that would justify
exclusive status, and
WHEREAS the existence of a facility use fee for faculty and staff is an insufficient
justification for the exclusion of students because:
1. Students, through their regular fees, support the recreational system to a
degree significantly greater than that financial help provided by faculty and
staff.
2. Student fees are currently financing the solution to the noon-hour problem; the
Rec Complex. Student financial assistance here dwarves revenues from use
fees ($3.7 million as opposed to $15,000/year).
R-43
3. Students cannot purchase use cards to obtain noon-hour admission, even if
they desired to
BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
SECTION 1. Student Senate express its disapproval of the recent actions taken to close use of
the gym to students over the noon-hour.
SECTION 2. Student Senate urge the new policy to be terminated at the conclusion of the
current experimental stage.
SECTION 3. Student Senate urge that the policy enacted for operation after March 15,
eliminate all noon-hour discrimination on the basis of University status.

ADMINISTRATION FUNDING OF
ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES
Steve Walton
WHEREAS Student Senate and the numerous College Councils are now called upon to
financially support many academically-oriented activities and organizations
(academically-oriented being specified as those organizations which operate to
fulfill the requirements of a University course offered for credit), and
WHEREAS funding for these organizations should be provided by the University
Administration rather than by the Student Activity Fee, and
WHEREAS elimination of these organizations and activities from dependency on student
funds would be of considerable benefit to the financial status of Student Senate as
well as the several College Councils, and
WHEREAS the funding of these organizations and activities by the University Administration
would aid (in most cases) the publicizing by KSU, claimed by President Acker to
be vital to the future provision of state support to certain University academic
programs
BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
SECTION 1. Student Senate desires that the University Administration assume partial financial
responsibility for those academically-oriented organizations and activities now
currently funded by the Student Activity Fee.
