Administrators and student leaders scrambled to find venues for large lecture classes and special performances. STUDENTS ALSO EXPERIENCED A DIVISIVE DEBATE concerning Darren Fulcher, Student body president. Student Senate, as aresultofcriminalbattery charges pressed against Fulcher by his former girlfriend, voted in September to expel Fulcher from office. The case extended through the entire first semes- ter-through petitions for a recall election, through appeals to the Judicial Board and through heated ar- guments from both sides. MANY OTHER THINGS ABOUT KU WERE ALSO different, although not quite as serious. Some KU police officers covered the campus on bicycles rather than in cars. The process of fee payment and registration was changed in order to make the whole ordeal easier. A new group of freshmen Women underwent the traditional pre-Semester ritual of rush.

L 1 Q continued from page 7 THE DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES AT KU AND around the World are reflected in the Jay- hawker. T For the first time in many years, all un- dergraduates could be pic- tured individually, instead of just seniors. The in- tended result was a more accurate reflection of the student body at KU. The change brought with it more space for student life and sports articles, as well as a more comprehensive living groups section. The change also brought opposition from some students who Wanted portraits grouped by school rather than living group. WHETHER POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE, CHANGES AND differences abounded. Students were forced to ad- just to the changing University and World. Opinions certainly varied on beneficial effect of the individual events taken as a Whole. Neverthe- less, the entire year was a different experience. lj MEMBERS OF THE cheerleading squad rally the crowd as they march down Jayhawk Boulevard. The Homecoming Parade was moved back on campus and held on Friday afternoon to increase student interest in the annual, traditional event. 1 Photo by Jay Thornton J ALTHOUGH THE FOOT- ball team had one of its better records of recent seasons, not everything was positive. Chip Hilleary, junior quarterback, bows his head in disgust after being benched late in the game against Kansas State. But his replacement, Nate F Iorell, was unable to ignite the sluggish Jayhawk offense. KU lost the game 16-12. iPhoto by James Cradyj
