underrepresented.
What we do is we represent the student body,
and you cant do that without listening to the student
body and making sure that
every single voice on this
campus is heard and understood. Sometimes you
have to reach out to those
voices, they dont just
come to you, she said.
Alcorn said a particular
emphasis for Student Senate this year will be incorporating members of the
multicultural community
into Senate itself, as well
as legislation which will
hopefully be passed in the
first Senate meeting of the
year.
There are multicultural Senate seats, but that
isnt enough. We need to
get as much representation and allow room for
more representation within Student Senate from
those communities, he
said. Id also like to see
more non-traditional students involved with Student Senate as well.

yet, but Alcorn shared some
of the conversations that
have been included in the
committees work, including funding sources, security measures, policies and
communication.
I think the primary goal
that we stressed was safety
across the board, he said.
As one of two students
on the board, Alcorn said he
tried to represent student
voices as much as possible,
but said he struggled with
doing so, given that student
opinion was so strongly
against allowing concealed
carry on campus.
Last year, we administered a survey to students
Regents-wide about their
opinions and preferences
about concealed carry on
campus and overwhelmingly, the answer was that
students did not want guns
on campus, he said. Now
it became, while still representing what KU students and students across
the state said, now how do
we make sure that student
safety comes first?
Alcorn said the proposal
tries to account for student
safety by creating secured
zones where safety would
be a large concern, such as
at sporting events or buildings in which certain research is being done.
In trying to implement
safety measures, however,
Alcorn said funding has
become another concern.
The required equipment
and personnel required to
secure a building under the
law do not come cheaply.
Its almost as if we were

was very accommodating.
Theyve been doing
what they can, Beckloff
said in a crowded Oread
Lobby. I was hopeful about
moving in on Thursday, but
when I saw the buildings I
figured there was no way.
Residents and family
that arrived at the Oread
on Thursday were provided
complimentary services including; open food services
tab, a reserved lounge ballroom and valet car service,
being tasked to pay for safety, he said. So I really focused on making sure that
students dont have to pay
for their safety. That was
definitely difficult having to
work through.
One of the committees
proposals was that any department or unit that wanted to secure their building
would have pay for it themselves, rather than drawing
that funding from the University or the state, Alcorn
said.

Senate President Michael
Williams co-chaired the
division of the committee
that addressed communications, campus locations and
legal issues (all of which
were separate from the policy decisions).
The main thing that
was really the most critical
was the communication
stuff. The second and third
things were locked up with
the Universitys rules and
the state law, Williams
said.

exclusion zones in buildings like the student center, Helgren said. It also
allows faculty members in
single-occupancy offices to
give oral notice prohibiting
guns.
Helgren said he wished
the plan would have been a
little more exclusive by prohibiting guns in large lecture halls or the communal
living areas of dorms, but
he knows that the plan was
unlikely to satisfy all the
stakeholders.
Although the two laws
bear similarities, Texas and
Kansas are not exactly in
the same situation, because
of their state concealed carry laws.

From my perspective,
I created a song and I just
put it out there because I
want people to enjoy it. I
was surprised from emotional responses elicited. I
had somebody emailed me
say that theyve been pretty
violently depressed and discovering my song through
the show Shameless became a go-to song when
they needed to be cheered
up, Lawrence said.

Lawrences former co-worker

feel his love of music and

music more when he played
it live, Lynch said.

album, traveling to different areas like Eudora, Kan.,
Arkansas, Nebraska and
others to record, master,
produce and edit its upcoming songs. Lawrence hinted
