Grad students list gripes ask campus representation
Ey Gary Murrell
Kansan Staff Reporter
KU graduate students met Tuesday and demanded more representation in campus governmental bodies while formulating a list of grievances.
Jack Casey, Stanley graduate student, said the purpose of the group, called the Graduate Students Association, is to give students a representative voice in academic affairs.
This, he said, would be accomplished by electing representatives to the Faculty Senate and the Graduate Council, both currently composed of only faculty.
List grievances
Then he outlined the grievances for the 30 persons attending.
"We object to changes in grading system of the Graduate School," Casey said. "The difference could mean passing or failing."
He said that under the former system, a student could receive only six hours of "C" before being placed on probation. Under the new scale, six hours of "A" would offset the six hours of "C."
"The point is graduate students can get many more C's now," he said. "And we were not consulted before the new system was adopted."
Hamilton Salsich, assistant English instructor, bitterly criticized the administration for its attitude toward students.
"Personally, I think we have too many administrators at KU," he said. "They consider graduate students to be apprentices of the very lowest type.

Small but fast
Kansas may have the smallest collection of wide receivers in major college football. At the official weigh-in the five flankers and split ends averaged only 159 4/5 pounds. Gary Ard was the lightest on the team at 147.
The other receivers are Tommy Anderson 153, Donnie Shanklin 165 and John Jackson and Ben Olison 167 apiece.
But there is a lot of speed in that group. Jackson has run the 100 in 9.5 and the indoor 60 in 6.2. Shanklin ran a 9.7 century in high school and Aird and Olison, both trackmen, ran the 220 legs with KU's sprint medley relay outfit that set a world record of 3:15.2 at the Texas Relays last spring.
Players now assistants

Several of the students attending the meeting indicated they wanted improved off-c campus housing. They said regular inspections of housing areas in Lawrence would eliminate many undesirable conditions.
They also called for changes in the library policies for graduate students.
