Extra election to fill vacant Assembly seats
The College Assembly decided yesterday to have a supplemental election next fall to fill 18 graduate student seats left vacant after elections two weeks ago.
According to the old bylaws of the Assembly, all student representatives were to be elected in the spring student body elections, but not enough candidates filed or were elected as write-ins to fill out the roster.
Of the 150 seats open to students, 34 were taken by write-ins. Forty-two freshmen, 41 sophomores, 37 juniors and 12 graduate students were elected. The graduate students were the only group to not fill out a slate.
Eleanor Turk, secretary of the assembly, said the remaining positions would probably be held by the new governor.
MARJORIE Hamilton, one of the graduate students who submitted the change in the rules, said it was difficult for graduate students to tell in the spring what their fall work loads would be or whether they would be returning to KU.
Andrew Debecki, chairman of the Committee on Policies and Educational
Goals, said that not knowing which graduate students would be attending in the fall made it difficult for the assembly to find candidates for a spring election.
TURK BLAMED the University Daily Kansas for the small sign-up.
Robert Cobb, dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences, said the reasons so few candidates filed for election could include apathy, an unwillingness on their part to make a commitment of time or a feeling of failure, which was sufficiently representing their needs.
"Last year the Kansan wrote up the fact that the College Assembly was having elections and we had more than we could handle" she said. "This year they did everything they could, as far as I'm concerned, to kill the elections."
Tark said the only notice of the elections was that a prisoner was two classified ads that the assoc. had placed.
In other action of the assembly, Debicik reported that six task forces had been set up within the assembly to study the problems of the college. The task forces were the
Actors parody execution sentenced by Spain's army
BARCELONA (AP) — Four members of a Spanish pantomime group were sentenced yesterday by a military court to two years in prison for allegedly insulting Spain's army.
POLITICAL parties had welcomed the suspension. However, over the weekend the army ordered the four remaining members of the pantomime group to trial Monday.
Within hours after the court's verdict and sentencing, angry actors, stagehands and theatre workers in Madrid and Barcelona called for a nationwide strike, a march against Parliament and demonstrations in the streets.
The army suspended the trial a week ago after the director of the pantomime group, Albert Boadella, filed from police custody at a Barcelona hospital 24 hours before the court martial was held and escaped to the actor, Perren Rene, escanned to France.
The trial by a four-man court martial was held despite efforts by some government officials and liberal political leaders to override the trial or to have it put off indefinitely.
In a 13-hour session, the prosecution asked for three-year prison terms for three actors involved in the murder of the four had insulted the army in a play about the 1974 execution of two men convicted by a court martial. Civilian lawyers accused the four of conspiracy to the death penalty, not the army.
The sentences do not become effective until confirmed by Lt. Gen. Francisco Coloma Gallaleo in the regional region who ordered the group put on trial. The actors' lawyers said

THE FREEDOM of Expression Committee in Barcelona said it was planning a march on Parliament today to protest the indictment.
In Madrid more than 100 actors, signers, dancers and theatre workers sent delegations to all of the main political parties in the city for a concert at the theatre strike and street demonstrations.
Although it was thought that the Spanish government would have liked to have seen the court martial dismissed because of damage to Spain's democratic image, high army officials insisted that it was not a violation of the constitution of the armed forces was at stake.

STATE REP. Mike Glover, D-Lawrence,
said he had received many letters.
Both Glover and State Rep. Lloyd Buzzi, Dawrence, said that writing letters was very difficult.
"That students are taking the initiative," Grace said, "providing a positive reflection on the validity of the exposition."
THE RECOMMENDED appropriations for the KU's library system for fiscal 1979 are $10,000 for collections and $291,000 for improved lighting and shelving.
Buzzi said, "If something is on the bor-
der, self a dozen letters sure make a diffe-
ration."
The book shelves would be placed in Level A of Spencer Library and would be for Grade 3.
Both the basement areas of Spencer Library and the east sub-basement of Watson need better lighting and painting that will improve the lighting by reflection, John Glinka, associate dean of libraries, said.
KU's budget will be discussed today in the Senate Ways and Means Committee.
Another bill allows for $6.2 million for the renovation of Watson. Governor Robert F.
Bennett recommended the $6.2 million in January. The recommendation was tentatively approved yesterday by the Kansas Senate.
THE RENOVATION plan includes removal of interior walls, which would allow more efficient use of library space; proper placement of furniture; and to protect books from deteriorating; adequate restrooms; another elevator; fire prevention measures; and possibly another wall.

Ranz said that after the proposed
students were finished, he expected
students to use the more modern
materials.
Buzzi said he did not think that everybody realized how important the library was to him.
"The library is now a definite disadvantage to students, to KU, to Kansas," he said. "If it were allowed to continue, it would have been handcuffed and unfair to the state."
Chuckholes worsen
Because the crews have been so busy clearing snow, they have not patched all chucklehocks. Signs have been posted to warm motorists of the road hazards.
County road crews can't keep up with the expanding chuckhole population.
"The roads are definitely a lot worse than previous years," Dean Sanderson, county public works director, said yesterday. "I look for them to get worse."
If a sign says, "Slow; rough road," a power should be careful. He faces one of the few places where he can stop.
The roads will get worse, Dale McMillin,
roads superintendent, said, because the ground will give way as it thaws and the goallt will buckle.
"The top 18 inches of the ground are
nearly invisible. When it goes, the
asphalt will break up."
Sanderson said, "They are still out with the snow plows. On the first pass you just make it so people can get through. Then you have to go back and widen the path."
Patch crews have worked behind the snow-cleaning crews, McMillin said, but they haven't been able to get anywhere.
Another problem, he said, was that some patches did not hold.
"Our mix works really good with the deep holes, but our real problem is the shallow one. He sat in front of me and can only see what was behind him. The blacktop sometimes breaks out around it."
chuckholes. The department maintains 210 miles of roads.
The mix can be used when the weather is wet and cold, he said.
But Sanderson said it had been too cold for the men to work.
"It needs to be at least warm enough for the guys to get out of their trucks," he said. He said he did not know whether any roads would have to be resurfaced.
"We're going to have to get at it to get it done by the Fourth of July," he said.
"It looks now if it's going to be mostly patching," he said. "We'll have to wait until later to see what breaks up really bad."
Lawrence and University of Kansas roads also have had potholes. Melting snow and repeated repaired and thawing of concrete crevices city crews from making repairs last week.
