STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT REPORT - Joe Knopp

NATATORIUM DEDICATION

Last Thursday the new swimming pools were dedicated. This is an exert from the program.

“These new facilities have been one and one-half years in the construction phase, but the dream of such an addition to the campus has been in the minds of some for many years.

The swimming pool committee was appointed in 1965, and the presentation of the needs for the program and the pool was made to the Board of Regents who approved an increase in student fees to finance the new structure.

But when Nichols Gym (which housed women’s physical education) burned on

December 13, 1968, it was then planned that the replacement facilities would be made by remodeling and renovating the Ahearn Fieldhouse in conjunction with the construction of the natatorium as part of the project. Contracts for the construction of the natatorium and the women’s physical education annex were awarded in November, 1971. Student fees provided $870,989 for the natatorium construction with $1,030,000 being available from educational building funds, for the women’s physical education annex to the fieldhouse renovation: program.

Today is a special day for K-State students, faculty, administrators, staff, alumni, and friends of the University.

We sincerely hope the facilities we dedicate today will long contribute to higher education, recreation and athletics at Kansas State University.”

The Dedication Committee: Charles B. Corbin, Joe Knopp, Veryle Snyder, Judeth

Tyminski.

In spite of the fact the pools weren’t completed, the ceremony went very well. Judeth

Tyminski did an outstanding job of organizing the ceremony and assuring that student contributions to the building were noted.

N.S.L. CONVENTION IN EUGENE, OREGON

In looking over the program, nearly every contemporant student issue facing Student

* Service groups on campus such as Alpha Phi Omega, Chimes, Spurs, Mortar Board,

Blue Key - I believe should have much more information about their individual goals and projects. This scattering of projects has meant that our service groups haven’t been as effective as they potentially would be.

Community through a branch office in Downtown Manhattan. The IOCU newsletter is read by 35 different countries around the world. Our Toy Safety study has been completed and the results have been turned over to the Consumer

Product Safety Commission in K.C., Mo. Six out of the eleven stores surveyed were found to have banned toys. One the managers of the stores were notified which toys were banned, they were asked to remove them from the shelves. The

CPSC will follow up on our inspection to see that those stores reported to have banned toys have removed them from the shelves. Copies of the CPSC Banned

Toy List are available in the SGA Office. Olan Mills Studio’s, Springfield, Ohio has been operating in the Manhattan area for the past month. They do not have

Oklahoma, has been operating in the Manhattan area soliciting magazine subscriptions. This company does not have University permission to operate on

Campus and the Kansas Department of Revenue has not been able to find any record of this company having a Kansas Sales Tax Number. Any student who has signed contracts with either of these companies should contact the CRB for information about how to deal with canceling their contract.

TEACHER-COURSE EVALUATION - Dave McManus - Ran into a couple of delays over Christmas. Got to publisher 2 weeks ago. Was a great disappointment to me.

DIRECTOR’S REPORTS

ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF KANSAS (ASK) - Campus Director, Jay Armstrong -

Will not be here over the summer and feels a new Campus Director should be selected. Is very rewarding but is alot of work. If you are thinking of taking over, you should start coming to the meetings now and get an insight. Next Board of

Director’s Meeting is Tuesday, 1/29/1974 at 600 pm at Washburn. ASK is supporting 2 bills in the legislature: 1. Landlord-Tenant. 2. Campaign

Contributions Senate Committee thinks the first bills looks very favorable. Need your response to your legislators. Will have a list in the SGA Office. We have 2 vacancies on the KSU Legislative Assembly.

STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT - Joe Knapp - Wednesday’s for Walking was a failure.

We are not quitting. Guess we overreacted to the energy crisis. The cost of the bumper stickers came to $100 rather than the $40 originally thought. ASK has been a failure at KSU, so far. Need to show students that the Legislative

Assembly is working for them. There is a strong move in the legislature to do something about in-state and out-of-state tuition. Kansas has lost close to

$400,000 from people who dropped out of school for 6 mos. in order to gain residency. Need a Chairman for University Activities Board (UAB). Going to

Athletic Council on K-Block costs raises Saturday, 1/26/74, $2.00/ticket rather than $1.00/ticket. There is a Legislative Assembly Meeting Friday, 1/25/74, in

Room 203 of the Union at 4:00 pm.

CONSUMER RELATIONS BOARD - Dick Retrum The $800.00 that CRB borrowed from SGA to publish “University Consumer Protection” has not been paid back in full. We still get requests for the book which of course means that we are making a profit. The Campus should be alerted to the fact that Linencrest, Inc. and

International Homes Co. have been doing business on Campus without proper authority. One company sells linens and the other company is selling pots and pans. Any student approached by a representative from either of these companies should ask the following questions: 1. What is your name. 2. What is your Kansas

Sales Tax Number. 3. By whose authority are you allowed to do business on this

Campus. If the salesman cannot answer all of these questions, you should not do business with him.

Advertising expenditures in the USA totaled $25.140 billion for 1973.

STUDENT HEALTH COMMITTEE - John Mein Met last Tuesday. Have 3 new members.

After careful deliberation, we reached the conclusion that because of ballot-signature discrepancies, we will only be able to recommend acceptance of the student body president and the board of student publications 1974 Election results.

There were 2,282 total votes cast with only 2,193 corresponding signatures recorded.

This represents a 3.9% discrepancy between ballots and signatures. In recent years, we have allowed 1% or less as acceptable. We have also been made aware of some improprieties which, at this time, are unsubstantiated.

We feel there are several alternatives available to the student body president and the student senate. To accept the Election in its entirety; to accept only the student body president and board of student publications results; to accept the student body president, board of student publications and student senate results which are above the percentage of discrepancy; or, to invalidate the entire Election.

The election judges are of the opinion that the vast majority of discrepancies are of a negligent rather than of a malicious nature. We further feel that there is no reason to believe that any candidate benefited more than any other.

Respectfully,

Election Judges 1974


In response to the recommendations of the election judges, concerning the discrepancies between the number of ballots cast in the 1974 Election results, I would recommend the Student Governing Association validate Election results of the student body president, board of student publications, and those student senate results which are above the percentage of discrepancy. I would further recommend that Student Senate or the Elections Committee (as its delegated group) determine the exact percentage of discrepancy to be allowed. Finally, I would strongly urge that notification of “undisputed” winners be made by noon,

Friday, Feb. 15.

I am in agreement with the opinion of the election judges that the discrepancy is due to negligence on the part of some of the polling officials and not a result of malicious ballot-stuffing for a particular candidate.

No claims of gross misconduct (other than the perennial claims that several people voted twice) have been filed with the Elections Committee. In light of this, there are

those who would argue that the entire Election should be validated. I base my recommendations on the belief that we cannot tolerate this high discrepancy. To allow a 3.9% discrepancy would set a precedence that would, in effect, lower our demand for accurate Elections in the future. This could produce pressures for future Election Committees that would be very difficult to resolve.

Respectfully,

Joe Knopp

Student Body President 1973-74

Frank Ross moved to accept the results of the Election Committee in total.
